A“Mommy! Call I go and play outside with Danny? Please? I promise l will only play in the shade!” Kelly said.What hurt her mother was only being able to stand aside when her daughter needed her most.“Kelly…I’m really sorry.You can’t go.I’m too concerned about you. You might accidentally go in the sun，which means we have to get you to hospital again.”Kelly was allergic to the sun.The doctor said it was incurable.Kelly looked outside where her brother Danny was playing.Why did she have to be allergic to the sun? Why?Kelly’s mother closed her eyes and she pointed upstairs where Kelly’s bed was.“Go to bed.”she said.Kelly had tears in her eyes.She forced her legs up the stairs and buried her face in her pillow.She wanted Danny to come back , for he could tell her stories about birds and squirrels.She waited，and soon he did come and toldher about a blue bird he had seen.Kelly often wondered what a bird looked like.She was really curious about the birds in the yard.Maybe she could find out herself someday.The next day, Danny entered Kelly’s room again to t ell her what he had seen.She wasn’t there.He called again and again but no one replied.He searched anxiously around and saw a body.His eyes widened.It couldn’t be.Was it what he thought it was?

to come away with a prescription.It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine.But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed.Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well.In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo.A placebo is a sugar pill，a harmless shot，or ail empty capsule.Even though they have no medicine in them , these things seem to make people well.The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better.How does this happen?The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself.It is as if there was a doctor in each of us.The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it.But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body.Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself.These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine，then it will act as if it did，and the body will feel better.Placebos do not always work.The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor.If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient，then the placebo is more likely to work.So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placeboof all.A placebo can also have bad effects.If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine，then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo.This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body.Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used.They think there is still not enough known about it.The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is.There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind.And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo.28.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.The placebo.B.The bad effect.C.The body.D.The medicine.29.What do we know about placebo according to the passage?A.It contains some sort of medicine.B.It won’t function if you are negative about medicine.C.People who don’t believe placebo can’t be healed by it.D.Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body30.Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?A.The patient needs help badly.B.The patient believes in the doctor.C.The doctor knows better about your body.D.The doctor has carefully studied medicine.31.What is the best title for the text?A.Placebo：Work on Your MindB.Placebo：The Most Powerful MedicinC.Placebo：The Best DoctorD.Placebo：Heal Your BodyDSome people like to listen to the Beatles.while others prefer Gregorian chants.When it comes to music , scientists find that nurture can overpower nature.A study shows musical preferences seem to be mainly shaped by a person’s culturalupbringing and experiences rather than biological factors.“O ur results show that there is a profound cultural difference in the way people respond to consonant(和谐的)and dissonant(不和谐的)sounds，and this suggests that other cultures hear the world differently,” says Josh McDermott.a scientist in Cambridge.Some scientists believe that the way people respond to music has a biological basis and that this would overpower any cultural shaping of musical preferences , effectively making them a universal phenomenon.Some musicians.by contrast , think that such preferences a re more a product of one’s culture.If a person’s upbringing shapes their preferences，then they are not a universal phenomenon.The trick to working out where musical preferences come from was to find and test people who hadn’t had much contact with Western music.McDermott and his team travelled by aeroplane，car and canoe to reach the remote villages of the Tsimane’ people，who are largely isolated from Western culture.In their experiments，McDermott and his colleagues investigated responses to Western music by playing combinations of notes to three groups of people：the Tsimane’ and two other groups of Bolivians that had experienced increasing levels of exposure to Western music.The researchers recorded whether each group regarded the notes as pleasant or unpleasant.The Tsimane’ are just as good at making acoustic(声响的)distinctions as the groups with more experience of other types of music，the scientists find.Most people prefer consonant tones，but the Tsimane’ have no preference between them.“This pretty convi ncingly rules out that the preferences are things we’re born with，’’ McDermott argues.“Culture plays a role.We like the music we grew up with，”agrees Dale Purves，a scientist at Duke University.“Nature versus nurture is always a fool’s errand.’’It’s almost always a combination，he adds.32.Why does the author mention Beatles in the first paragraph?A.To arouse reader’s interest.B.To stress the importance of music.C.To introduce the topic to be discussed.D.To encourage readers to listen to their music.33.McDermott would most probably agree that __________.A.people’s music preference is a universal phenomenonB.Chinese and Japanese have different music preferencesC.the way people respond to music is biologically decidedD.parents have noth ing to do with children’s music preference34.What do we know about the Tsimane’ in the experiment?A.They prefer consonant tones.B.They are born with excellent music talent.C.They do well in telling acoustic distinctions.D.They have never had contact with Western music.35.What does the underlined phrase “a fool’s errand” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Something meaningless.B.Something significant.C.Something reliable.D.Something sensitive.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
