(A)I’m the engine that keeps you working, and I’m here to share some of my secrets.I have 100 billion nerve cells（神经细胞）, so you need to consider before you blame （责怪）me for not being so fast enough. It’s not really my fault: information travels through me too fast and sometimes I can’t keep all of it.The Internet is making me weak. A study found that you’ve been relying more on the Internet. That means I’m going to forget more over time. Scientists have worried that our ability to think is being lost.In general, I’m about ten percent larger in men than women. It doesn’t make men smarter. It just lets me control their different bodies. Actually, it’s **mon for women to get angry, but men can’t focus on a thing well. They usually have language difficulties.Your mobile phone scares me. A new study showed that more than one hour of mobile phone use can get me in trouble. Mobile phone radiation（辐射）might cause me to be in a worse situation.Some parts of me never sleep. It’s important for you to get a good night’s sleep. Sleep helps to improve memories. In fact, when you are asleep, some parts of me are still working hard on my duty. Besides, laughter is really the best medicine for me. So remember to laugh more for my better situation.26.What’s the result of depending too much on the Internet?A. It will make people remember things for a long time.B. It helps people to remember things more easily.C. It may affect one’s regular way of thinking.D. It may make us lose the ability to learn.pared with men, women ________ according to the passage.A. are easy to get angryB. can’t think carefully about somethingC. are much smarterD. usually have language difficulties28.Why can’t I keep all the information?A. Because there is too much information.B. Because information travels too fast.C. Because I can hardly work.D. Because I am lazy.29.What can you do to make “me” work better?A. Get a shorter sleep every night.B. Blame “me” for not being fast enough.C. Use “me” more instead of the Internet.D. Use a mobile phone for one hour each day.30. What can we know from the passage?A. Men can pay close attention to a thing.B. At night. “I” **pletely sleep and stop working.C. It’s clear that “I” should take medicine to work better.D. Mobile phone radiation may bring serious problems to “me”(B)Empathy lets us feel another person’s pain and drives us to help. Do other animals feel empathy? Scientists recently found that rats（老鼠）do, too.Most people don’t like rats. In many people’s eyes, rats are only bad. But Jean Decety and his partners at the University of Chicago did an experiment. It showed that rats are kind, warm-hearted animals. They can feel each other’s pain.Scientists placed pairs of rats in plastic cages（笼子）for two weeks. During this time they got to know each other. Then they put one of the rats from each pair into a small container（容器）in the cages. The small container had a door. It was so designed as to fall to the side when the free rat touched it. Many of the trapped（困住的）rats squeaked（吱吱叫）to show their discomfort. The other rates of the pairs could see their suffering friends clearly.In most pairs, the free rats would become very worried about their friends. They kept trying to save their friends again and again throughout the month. Scientists put the rats’ favorite chocolate in the cages, but the rats didn’t eat it until they had saved their friends successfully. Scientists also found that female rats seemed to act more empathetic than male rats.“The results are the first to show that rats take action in response to another’s trouble,” Decety said. “Monkeys and chimpanzees have similar behavior. But unlike those animals, rats can be ready used in laboratory studies. They will help us to learn which parts of the brain lead to empathy and helping behavior and whether empathy is natural.”31.A person with empathy is often __________.A. kind-heartedB. cleverC. activeD. strong32.What does the underline word mean in Chinese?A. 休息的B. 睡着的C. 死亡的D. 受苦的33.Why didn’t the free rats eat the chocolate at first?A.

Because they were afraid that the chocolate was bad.34.Which of the following animals were NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Monkeys.B. Cats.C. Rats.D. Chimpanzees.35.What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Rats can feel other animals’ pain.B. Chocolate is rats’ favorite food.C. Female rats are more empathetic than male rats.D. Rats are empathetic and can feel each other’s pain.(C)Paul awoke to the sound of the alarm clock. Normally, this would be followed by feelings of worry about the day ahead. But today was different. Today he couldn’t wait to go to school.He rushed to his desk and picked up the old jam jar which contained a colorful butterfly. It had taken him hours to catch and now it was going to be part of his biology presentation for school.While most of his classmates would be showing drawings of insects or animals taken from textbooks, Paul planned to present something different – a alive creature. This was sure to get him the highest grade in the class.Paul sat at his desk admiring the insect’s beautiful red and yellow wings. He had made air holes in the jar’s lid, and added leaves for the butterfly to eat. It might be in a glass prison, but at least it was being well cared for, Paul thought as he left for school.Paul entered the classroom early, and put the jar in his desk. Biology was the first lesson after lunch and he wanted his presentation to be a surprise. After taking the jar from his bag, he noticed the butterfly was very still. Its wings moved very slowly and its color seemed to have faded. Probably just a little tired from the trip in the bag, Paul hoped.Throughout the morning, Paul secretly checked on the insect. Each time it seemed a little stiller, its color a little duller. Something was wrong. When the lunch-bell rang, he waited for his classmates to leave before opening the jar. The butterfly was still alive, but only just.He took the jar to the bathroom and sprinkled a few drops of water on the butterfly’s head. The cooling effect was instant. The butterfly came to life again and Paul barely managed to replace the lid before it flew out. But rather than pleasure, the sight of the revived butterfly crashing against the jar, desperate for freedom, made Paul feel guilty. He was being cruel for a mark.As he walked back to class, feeling ashamed, the bell went again. It was time for Biology. He walked over to the window, opened the jar and set the butterfly free. A moment later the biology teacher entered. “Paul, your presentation’s first today.”“Sorry sir,” the boy replied, “I forgot all about it.”36.What can we guess about Paul from the passage?A. He often caught animals.B. He did not usually enjoy school.C. He was a very clever student.D. He was sometimes quite cruel.37.Why was Paul confident that his biology project would receive a high grade?A. Because biology was his favorite subject.B. Because his project idea was popular.C. Because he had spent much time preparing.D. Because his butterfly was real and very colourful.38.The underlined word “revived” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to “__________”.A. refreshedB. returnedC. replacedD. relieved39.Why did Paul finally free the butterfly?A. It was time for class.B. It was no longer very active,C. He felt ashamed at his actions.D. He forgot about at his presentation.40.In what order did the following event take place?a.

Those talented musical performers, however, are only some of the people involved in making the music you enjoy. Most people in the music industry work “behind the scenes”, but their roles in the music-making process are very important.SongwritersBefore you can hear a song, a songwriter must imagine it. Some songwriters work alone, but many songwriting teams include someone who writes he song’s words, and another person who writes the music. Pop music legend Ehon John’s best-known songs, including Tiny Dancer and Your Song, were written to accompany the words of Bernie Taupin, whose name you might not know.ArrangersAfter a song has been written, music arrangers make it more appealing by deciding which instruments will be used, what speed the song will have, and the song’s pitch. A good arrangement can make a song a “classic” that people will remember and want to hear again and again.Recording EngineersRecording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound that you hear. First, they set up the recording studio, the room where the performers play. Next, they use electronic equipment to record the music. Finally, long after the musicians have finished, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the sounds of each musician, and sometimes to incorporate special sound effects or additional tracks.Studio MusiciansMany talented singers and musicians aren’t starts, but work in the background as studio musicians. These artists aren’t members of one musical group. Instead, they are hired for recording sessions that eventually become the music you buy, as well as the music used in television shows, movies, and radio ads.Many people make a living with music. You may not recognize all of their names, but all of them work together to create the songs you love to listen to.41.What is the best title for this passage?A. The people Behind the MusicB. The Music ManC. How Music is MadeD. It’s More Than Just a Song42.Who usually decide what instruments are used in a song?A. Songwriters.B. Arrangers.C. Recording engineers.D. Studio musicians.43.Who will most probably do the last step of making the music-making process?A. Songwriters.B. Arrangers.C. Recording engineers.D. Studio musicians.44.What is true about studio musicians?A. They often appear on TV shows.B. They play with different performers.C. They decide what songs to play.D. They help to write the music.45.Where could be the best place for you to find this passage?A. In a travel guide.B. In a magazine.C. In a hotel advertisement.D. In a storybook.第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入41~45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
