My favorite class at school was dance class. It was a new experience for me. At first, I didn’t think I’d like it, but I decided to give it a chance.
To begin with, it was 35 to have to hold with a boy and dance. The steps were okay, and the music was okay, but boys were not really okay. The teacher was nice and funny, and she got us used to working together as a 36 .
Then it wasn’t so strange working with a partner any more.
As the lessons 37 and I learned new dances like waltz(华尔兹), I really began to enjoy myself. Even being with partners wasn’t bad. In fact, I started enjoying dancing with partners who tried hard and know our steps. Some of the boys thought it was a 38 . And they didn’t take it seriously. I hated dancing with them, but I politely took my turn with them anyway.
To be a proper lady was another thing I learned while I was dancing. I never thought much about it before, but the teacher expected me to 39 like a lady, which meant I had to accept dance partners politely 40 I didn’t like them. Just like life, you sometimes have to do things you don’t want to, the teacher 41 . Yet, that didn’t mean I didn’t enjoy dancing with a boy who had the proper height and good steps to be a great partner.
As the classes neared their end, I was happy to hear I’d been 42 as a finalist. That meant I and my partner, Todd, would be representing my school and going dancing at a competition.
The competition was like 43 out of a storybook. Everyone was smiling, wearing great clothes, and hair was done nicely. It was hard not to be 44 , but it was hard not to feel special, too. Todd and I, along with my teammates, 45 our way through the competition. It was hard, and all the other dancers were so good!
It was sad not to win the competition, but a third place finish was 46 . Maybe next year our dancers would come in first place. I was proud I learned a lot. I just know I loved to dance, especially the waltz.
35. A. different B. difficult C. common D. strange
36. A. class B. club C. team D. task
37. A. went on B. went by C. came over D. came back
38. A. joke B. step C. lesson D. chance
39. A. look B. learn C. behave D. practice
40. A. as if B. so that C. ever since D. even though
41. A. agreed B. smiled C. replied D. explained
42. A. tested B. chosen C. known D. regarded
43. A. something B. everything C. anything D. nothing
44. A. surprised B. excited C. nervous D. serious
45. A. continued B. danced C. found D. took
46. A. comfortable B. acceptable C. reasonable D. enjoyable

When buster was brought into the animals' home, he was wet and smelly. But Jimmy who worked there know what soap and water and a good brushing could do.
After a bath, Jimmy put Buster in a cage and gave him some food and fresh water. Buster wanted a home. He wanted a family. He wanted a yard. Most of all, he wanted someone to love him.
A man came over to the cage. Buster curled up on his blanket and closed eyes. “He’s no fun,” said the man. “He’s too quiet.”

Other people passed by.

Do you believe that there might be life on other planets? Would you like to
be the first “Earthling” to get in touch with an alien? Well, you can start your
search from home. All you need is a computer and the Internet, and you can
join the project of the US-based National Aeronautics and Space
Administration(NASA).
NASA started the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project
eight years ago. Its goal is to examine the radio signals (信号) from nearby
stars. Researchers believe that a large number of stars in the universe could
have planets orbiting (circling) around them. And they want to know if these
planets have conditions suitable for life forms.
How does the project work? There is a huge radio telescope with a large bowl-shaped dish at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. It catches radio signals which are then fed in to SETI computers. The researchers have to study thousands of radio signals daily. They are looking for signals whose patterns (模式）would show the existence（存在）of hydrogen or water molecules that are necessary for life on Earth. They could be at it for years before showing a single positive result!
Of course, even the researchers know that they cannot do a fast job on their own. So they want as many helpers as possible. Even you ! To join search, just download SETI’s free software (SETI @home). What happens next is fun. While you are away from your computer, the SETI program in your computer
downloads the information on radio signals received by the radio telescope. It studies the information and send the result back to the research center.
There are other benefits too of having the SETI project software in your computer. When you leave your computer unattended, instead of seeing the usual screen saver, you can feast
your eyes on an amazing 3-D chart on the screen. This shows that your computer
is busy studying SETI data and searching for signs of alien life!
More than 1824500 people around the world are currently in the program
and more are joining in every day. It’s slim chance, but wouldn’t it be fantastic if
your computer were to be the first to discover an alien signal!
53. Why do researchers examine the radio signals from nearby stars?
A. They plan to help people who live on the stars.
B. They need to make sure that the stars have planets.
C. They have to keep in touch with the aliens on the stars.
D. They wonder if the stars’ planets are suitable for life forms.
54. What does a helper’s computer do in the research?
A. It finds the radio signals.
B. It looks for other planets.
C. It shows a positive result.
D. It studies the information.
55. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To prove the value of a research.
B. To invite people to join a project.
C. To suggest the existence of aliens.
D. To advise people to study planets.
D
In all the world’s cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with
music. It plays such an important role in our lives that whole fields work hard at
its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts are finding that
because of the way our brains process(处理) music, learning to play an
instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.
Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an
instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One
study in Canada tracked （追踪）children’s IQ scores for nine months,
discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes uses several areas of the brain, helping develop our ability to learn school subjects.
Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory. Scientists explain that one area near the forehead conne cts music with memories. That’s why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from certain diseases, listening to music can help unlock memories by building up musical pathways to memories.
Studies of the music-brain connection often concentrate on classical music, since it activates both the left and right sides of brains. One study found the brain activity was the highest during the short breaks between the movements of a piece of music. During each break, the person’s brain predicted what would come next, while organizing what he had just heard. This process is similar to the way our brain organizes information. It may explain why classical music can help improve memory. Some people take the music- brain connection to another level by listening to personalized “brain music.” which can help a person concentrate and prepare for a difficult task.
It’s amazing how attuned our brains are to music. Some scientists even think we’re born with the
ability to learn music, just as we all have the skills to learn language. After all, children without any training often make up songs while playing. With the evidence of music’s benefits pouring in, it’s no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems. People are realizing that music is more than just a form of entertainment.
56. In the study in Canada, who had the biggest IQ score increase?
A. The children who did well in science.
B. The children who had good memories.
C. The children who had fun learning languages.
D. The children who studied music for some time.
57. The writer probably agrees that .
A. we get a lot from teaching children to make up songs.
B. it takes steps to make full use of music-brain connection.
C. memory can be improved by training to organize information
D. music treatment helps build up unlocked pathways to memories
58. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. It’s great that our brains go well with music.
B. It’s wonderful for us to listen to brain music.
C. It’s surprising that music makes our brains active.
D. It’s fantastic to know how brains work with music.
59. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Music and Memory
B. Music and the Mind
C. The Biology of Music
D. The Benefits of Music

Adopt a Highway
Hello. I’m Jane. My class wants to work together to help the community. 60 This program brings people together to pick up little along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for students to join the program and adopt a highway.
Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. 61 Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up alongside the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.
The program is a great way for people to help their community look nicer. 62 This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean.
63 If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean, please come with your parents to the meeting

When we want to find out what the weather will be like tomorrow, we usually turn on the TV. But
people also needed to forecast (predict) the weather before they had TV. How did they do it in the past? They’d find an outdoor space, look up, look around, and listen.
Look UP
Red sky at night, sailor’s delight!
Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning!
This weather poem was written a long time ago, but it still works today.
Weather in many parts of the wold moves from west to east. Whatever weather is
in the weat tonight will probably be with us tomorrow. So a red sky at night, as the
sun is setting, usually means a sunny day for the next day.
Look Around
Animals, insects, and plants are natural weather forecasters.
When a summer storm is coming , you may notice that dogs, cows and horses grow restless. Theses animals don’t have some mysterious sixth sense, but they do have super-sensitive
hearing. Scientists think the animals can forecast thunderstorms （雷雨）because they
can hear the sound waves(声波)made by them many miles away.
When leaves show their undersides, be very certain, rain happens.
Listen
If you hear a cricket, it can tell you the exact temperature. Just count its chirps (啾啾声) for fourteen seconds and then add forty. This will give you the Fahrenheit temperature of the cricket within a very few degrees. Since crickets are cold-blooded, the temperature of the cricket is about
the same as the air around it.
So learn to predict the weather the way people did in the past. Get outside,
look up, look around, and listen. Soon you’ll be your very own weather
forecaster.
64. Did people need to forecast the weather before they had TV?
65. What does a red sky at night mean for the next day?
66.Why can animals forecast thunderstorms?
67.How can we know the temperature from a cricket?

74. One possible version:
Ever since I became a student in Grade Nine, my life has changed a lot. I’m pretty busy now. I used to go out with friends and have time for fun, but now I have to go right home and do my homework. Also I have to take after-school classes to improve my math.
However, I manage to balance my study and relaxations. After a busy and tiring day, I enjoy listening to music for a while in order to study effectively. On weekends, I even go bike riding or climb mountains to refresh myself. Before exams, I sleep earlier than before so that I can get enough rest because it is important to keep a clear mind during the exams.
As a saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Better time arrangements can sure help me achieve more.
