“The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s remarkable musical talent was apparent even before most children can sing a simple nursery rhyme。

Wolfgang’s older sister Maria Anna (who the family called Nannerl) was learning the clavier，an early keyboard instrument, when her three-year—old brother took an interest in playing. As Nannerl later recalled, Wolfgang “often spent much time at the clavier picking out thirds （三度音），which he was always striking, and his pleasure showed that it sounded good。

” Their father Leopold, an assistant concertmaster at the Salzburg Court，recognized his chil dren’s unique gifts and soon devoted himself to their musical education.
Born in Salzburg, Austria，on January 27, 1756, Wolfgang had composed his first original work by age five. Leopold planned to take Nannerl and Wolfgang on tour to play before the European courts. Their first venture was to nearby Munich where the children played for Maximillian III Joseph, elector of Bavaria. Leopold soon set his sights on the capital of the Hapsburg Empire，Vienna. On their way to Vienna，
the family stopped in Linz, where Wolfgang gave his first public concert. By this time, Wolfgang was not only a skilled harpsichord player, but he had also mastered the violin. The audience at Linz was amazed by the six—year-old，and word of his genius soon traveled to Vienna. In a much attended concert，the Mozart children appeared at the Schonbrunn Palace on October 13，1762. They completely attracted the emperor and empress.
Following this success，Leopold received a lot of invitations for the children to play, for a fee。

Leopold seized the opportunity and booked as many concerts as possible at courts throughout Europe。

A concert could last three hours，and the children played at least two per day. Today, Leopold might be considered the worst kind of stage parent, but at the time，it was not uncommon for talented people to make extensive concert tours. Even so，it was an exhausting schedule for a child who was just past the age of needing an afternoon nap.
60.A good title for this passage would be ________。

A。

Classical Music in the Eighteenth Century：An Overview。

B. Stage Parents: A Historical Point of View。

C。

D. Mozart：The Short Career of a Musical Genius.

B。

Word of Wolfgang’s genius spread to the capital.
C. Leopold set his sights on Vienna.
D. Invitations for the miracle children to play poured in。

62.Each of the following statements about Wolfgang Mozart is directly

A. Mozart's father made full use of his children’s talent
B. Maria Anna was also talented in music
C。

Wolfgang’s childhood was devoted to his musical career
D。

Wolfgang preferred the violin to other instruments
（ C ）
Howling is a behavior commonly observed among a wolf pack．As pack animals，wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other．There are different explanations of a wolf’s howl and it appears that the re may be more to discover．
One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together．It’s almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together．Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together ．But this theory may be wrong，explains Fred H．Harrington，a professor who studies wolf behaviour．
Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next，quarreling among each other．It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times．So is howling a
way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? ——Why do wolves howl for sure?
What is clear，however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other．Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times．When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering．Howling，interestingly, is a contagious behavior．When one wolf starts to howl，very likely others will follow．This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to report their presence．
63．What is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and human’s singing in chorus?
A。

The act of calling each other． B. The sense of accomplishment．
C。

The act of hunting for something． D. The sense of belonging to a group．
64．Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong?
A. Wolves separate from each other after howling．
B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds．
C。

Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together．
D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus．
65.Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to______．
A.show their ranks
B. find their companions
C。

report the missing ones D. express their loneliness 66。

“Howling… is a contagious behaviour”（in the last paragraph）means_______．
A。

howling is a signal for hunting B. howling is a way of communication
C. howling often occurs in the morning
D. howling spreads from one to another
（ D )
For many businessmen online education has been a dream. Now it has come true. The investment (投资）in higher education，whether financial or in terms of time，has long been impossible for many of them。

But well—known educational institutions have chosen to deliver an internet—based program, and these barriers have been lifted.
That is good news for people eager to improve themselves and is more attractive to employers. It is also a benefit to industry with better qualified candidates applying for jobs at every level。

Having the benefits of a higher qualification without going to the university campus is attractive to many students。

Campus study means greater cost，while online programs are flexible and save time，whether at home or at work. Students can achieve their degrees without causing too much disruption to their career or home life。

In addition to affordable, flexible classes and greater convenience，students also have access to the online learning resources of many of the
world’s top educational institutions。

They can also communicate with their tutors no matter what time it is or whether either party is away for any reason.
This has opened up the possibility of getting a qualification from a university or college that many students could only have dreamed of in the past。

It also allows specialists to get the precise qualifications and focus on their studies。

As well as seeing the increase of applicants from lower-incomes and housewives, studying online in the US is even becoming popular with younger people of college age.
Employers have become increasingly welcome and positive to online qualifications as more candidates earn them，especially if they’re properly approved by the US Department of Education.
US institutions have led the way in online education provision。

Many top US colleges and universities offer a range of online programs that are highly respected and in every way perfectly fit for adults who need to combine their studies with a working life。

67. According to Paragraph 1, many US colleges and universities .
A. have begun to lift the barriers to financial investment
B. have begun to run all internet—based program
C. have had a dream of offering online education
D. have gained financial investment
68。

Why do people choose online education?
A。

They can find jobs more easily than on-campus graduates。

B. They can get qualifications from US Department of Education.
C。

They can save money and arrange their time and courses freely。

D。

They can invest money in different courses provided online。

69. The underlined word “disruption’' in the third parag raph probably mean 。

A. dissatisfaction
B. attention C。

attraction D。

Interruption
70 。

Which would be a good title for the passage?
A。

Adult Education in America
B. The Best of USA’s Online Education
C. Top Universities in America
D. Online Education Taking the Place of Campus Education

Are Societies Ageing Too Fast?
An ageing society is one in which the population of people over the age of 60 is increasing．The global population at present is about 6 billion with 1 person in every 10 aged 60 or above．__71__．This will mean that for the first time in human history the population of older persons will be larger than the population of children！What are the causes of this population change?
__72__．And another is that birthrates have dropped as people, especially women，are educated．Measures to slow population growth like
China’s one—child policy, have also contributed to lowered birthrates．The increase in the aged population is not just an interesting trend，however; it also has severe implications for the future of global economies．

__74__．They suggest that because people are living longer，they ought to work longer, while governments need to establish a sound social security system．They also suggest that individuals start saving as soon as possible to ensure a financially secure retirement．People should also develop good health habits in their youth to ensure an active and productive old age．__75__．By finding cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer，medical bills and the need for care would be drastically reduced．
Finally，an important step to ensure a bright future for all is to do away with negative stereotypes that see valuable members of society only as pensioners or patients．It’s high time we stopped seeing ageing as a disease and started playing our parts in securing the future of our ageing societies．
A.Due to ageing problem, cities are facing more challenges．
B.Experts insist that steps should be taken now to prepare for the future．
C.As people grow older, a huge financial burden will be placed on the

Teenagers Expressed Thanks to Their Parents
On May 9th，students of Class 3 Grade 2 held a class meeting in the classroom to celebrate Mother's Day，the theme of which is “expressing thanks to our parents.” Apart from making gifts by themselves, students wrote letters to their parents and organized a competition in which the one who came up with the best way to move his or her parents would win.
Students made gifts and wrote letters with concentrated attention. Some even did theses things with tears in theirs eyes. Besides，a great many good ideas were put forward to help their parents。

This wonderful activity gives us teenagers a great opportunity to learn to care about our parents. From the activity，we learn that it’s time for us to do something for our parents in return for their great love。
