The Protection of Wild Animals
For thousands of years，we have found tigers in many parts of China and Southeast Asia.Today there are not many places left where tigers can live safe﹣ly.We have cut down the forests where they once lived and turned them into farm land.So it's harder for the tigers to find proper places to live in.In Indonesia we can see an example of how animals come to be in danger.
The island of Java was once covered with large forests in which tigers lived safely.As we cut down more and more forests，the tigers had smaller and smaller areas where they could live.At the beginning of 20th century，people there forced most of tigers into an area at the eastern end of the island.However，tigers were not the only animals living in the forest.The forests were also home to many other wild animals，and they had to share the same forest areas as the tigers.Now the ti﹣ger population has become smaller and smaller and today there may be none left in Java.
The same thing is happening to many other wild animals in different parts of the world.Pandas，bears and monkeys are among over a thousand animals and birds which are in danger of dying out.There are also over 25，000 flowering plants that might disappear on the earth.
Why should we protect the plants and animals on the earth？The answer is simple.As we know，each living plant and animal is a valuable part of the complex （联合体） of life on the earth.Many are good for man's health and happiness.For example，scientists discovered an African frog whose skin had a new kind of anti﹣biotic（抗菌素）.Now，we are using it to fight against many common illnesses.
In order to save wild animals，we need to collect more information about them such as where they live，what illnesses they get，what they eat，how much land they need，and so on.We must set up parks and nature reserves（保护区） where animals can live in safety.We must teach the public that man and animals can live peacefully together and that animals are our friends.

（1）What happened to the tigers in Java at the beginning of 20th century？ 　 　
A.The tigers weren't used to the living environment on the island.
B.The population of the tigers was getting smaller and smaller.
C.The tigers couldn't get along with the other animals in the forests.
D.The tigers moved to new places instead of living on the island.
（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ 　 　
A.Humans cut down the trees to build new houses for the tigers.
B.It's good for tigers to share the same area with the other animals.
C.Many living plants and animals are good for our humans' health.
D.Pandas，bears and monkeys don't belong to endangered animals.
（3）What does the writer mainly tell us in the last paragraph？ 　 　
A.Why the flowering plants disappeared more quickly.
B.Where we should build the parks and nature reserves.
C.When we used the antibiotic to fight against illnesses.
D.How we should do to save the wild animals on the earth.

The Advantages of Taking Music Lessons
Now，a study from the University of British Columbia（UBC） in Canada shows that students who took music lessons in high school performed better in subjects such as English，science，and math.
The researchers collected data（数据） from over 100，000 students at public high schools across the province of British Columbia.Some of them took music lessons during high school while others never attended them.Comparing the test scores of students who took music lessons with those of their peers（同龄人），the students who took music lessons got higher grades in a few of different school subjects.
Research like this has been done before，but the current study is much larger，and took into account other factors（因素） that may affect（影响） the results.For example，perhaps students who took music lessons were encouraged to do so because they already had good grades.Or perhaps students were more or less inclined（倾向） to study music depending on their social economic background（经济背景），which could also affect academic scores.This UBC study includes data from comparable groups—students of the same age in the same school.It rules out a number of other factors that could explain why music students performed better，and the researchers still found a clear effect（效果） of music lessons on the learning performance.
Not only did music students perform better than non﹣music students，but students who played an instrument（乐器） did even better than those who sang."Learning to play a musical instrument and playing in a band can provide satisfaction，"says Martin Guhn，one of the researchers."A student can learn to read mu﹣sic notes，achieve eye﹣hand﹣mind coordination（协调），develop listening skills and build interpersonal relationships."
What this study doesn't tell us，though，is why music makes these students perform better，but the research paper mentions a few possible explanations.Music practice has relations with neurological（神经的） changes that improve certain brain functions（功能），affecting memory and planning skills.The researchers also consider that there is a possible motivational（激发动机的） factor：Students who take music lessons see a clear result from practice—they get better—and they might use that to do their other work.And finally，students who joined the non﹣competitive team and made music together could strengthen（加强） their social development，which would also help them in other areas.

（1）The research from UBC in Canada shows that 　 　 .
A.Music makes students get higher grades in some subjects
B.Music plays a role to lower students' pressure in their life
C.Most high school students can get relaxed from pop music
D.Music is much more popular among high school students
（2）What does the underlined phrase "took into account" probably mean？ 　 　
A.thought about.
B.checked out.
C.got into.
D.searched for.
（3）The researchers are trying to 　 　by doing further researches.
A.ask more students to come to their schools to learn music
B.help all the students to make great progress in their study
C.encourage the music students to learn the other subjects
D.find out why the music students perform better at school
（4）What can we infer from the passage？ 　 　
A.Learning music may do harms to students' listening skills.
B.The students will spend more time playing music instruments.
C.Music practice can lead to some changes of the students' brains.
D.It will be more difficult for music students to achieve in other fields.

They headed straight for the bumper cars and soon started bumping（碰撞）into each other with as much force as they could，enjoying themselves thoroughly （彻底地）.Then they went for those shooting games in which they can get a prize if they hit the target（靶）.They were soon loaded with some soft toys which made them happy，though the age for playing with soft toys was long gone for them.
Then they came to the scariest part—The Freaky House.They entered the house with heads held high，but came out of it with their hearts beating fast.And all of them were shaking from head to foot.
During all this，they hadn't noticed it was getting dark，so they all returned home and said their goodbyes.Scott lay on his bed，with the pictures of all the fun he had that day replaying in his mind constantly（不断地）.

Sophie's World
Several days went by without any word from the philosophy（哲学） teacher.Tomorrow was Thursday，May 17—Norway's National Day.School would be closed on the 18th as well.As they walked home after school，Joanna suddenly said，"Let's go camping!"
Sophie's immediate reaction（反应） was that she couldn't be away from the house for long.But then she said，" Sure，why not？"
A couple of hours later，Joanna arrived at Sophie's door with a large back﹣pack.Sophie had packed hers as well，and she also had a tent.
When Sophie's mother got home around five o'clock，she gave them a sermon （指导） about what they must and must not do.She also insisted on（坚持） knowing where they were going to set up their camp.
They told her they planned to head for Grouse Top.They might be lucky enough to hear the call of the grouse（松鸡） next morning.
Sophie had a secret motive（动机） for choosing that place.She thought that Grouse Top must be pretty close to the major's cabin（少校的木屋）.Something was driving her to return to it，but she didn't dare to go alone.
The two girls walked down the path that led from the little culdesac（street open at one end only） just beyond Sophie's garden gate.They chatted about this and that，and Sophie enjoyed taking a little time off from everything having to do with philosophy.
By eight o'clock they had set up their tent in the open air by Grouse Top.They had prepared themselves for the night.When they had eaten their sandwiches，Sophie asked，"Have you ever heard of the major's cabin？"
"The major's cabin？"
"There is a hut in the woods somewhere near here...by a little lake.A strange man lived there once，a major."
"Does anyone live there now？"
"Do you want to go and see？"
Joanna was not full of interest，but in the end they set out.The sun was low in the sky.

（1）Both Joanna and Sophie decided to 　A　 for their holiday.
A.go camping
B.climb a mountain
C.visit their teacher
D.swim in a lake
（2）How did Sophie's mother feel about their plan？ 　D

B.Bored.
C.Shocked.
D.Worried.
（3）What can we know from the passage？ 　D　
A.They would have a two﹣day holiday with their teacher.
B.Sophie expected to go to the major's cabin once again.
C.They both kept talking about philosophy on their way.
D.Joanna didn't take any interest in the major's cabin at all.
【分析】本文节选自《苏菲的世界》，苏菲和乔安娜利用节假日去野营，选择了一处很靠近少校木屋的地方，松鸡顶，因为苏菲想再次去那个小木屋。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据Joannasuddenlysaid， "Let'sgocamping! " Sophie'simmediatereaction wasthatshecouldn'tbeawayfromthehouseforlong.Butthenshesaid， "Sure，whynot？"可知苏菲和乔安娜都想在假期里去野营，故选：A。

The Protection of Wild Animals
For thousands of years，we have found tigers in many parts of China and Southeast Asia.Today there are not many places left where tigers can live safe﹣ly.We have cut down the forests where they once lived and turned them into farm land.So it's harder for the tigers to find proper places to live in.In Indonesia we can see an example of how animals come to be in danger.
The island of Java was once covered with large forests in which tigers lived safely.As we cut down more and more forests，the tigers had smaller and smaller areas where they could live.At the beginning of 20th century，people there forced most of tigers into an area at the eastern end of the island.However，tigers were not the only animals living in the forest.The forests were also home to many other wild animals，and they had to share the same forest areas as the tigers.Now the ti﹣ger population has become smaller and smaller and today there may be none left in Java.
The same thing is happening to many other wild animals in different parts of the world.Pandas，bears and monkeys are among over a thousand animals and birds which are in danger of dying out.There are also over 25，000 flowering plants that might disappear on the earth.
Why should we protect the plants and animals on the earth？The answer is simple.As we know，each living plant and animal is a valuable part of the complex （联合体） of life on the earth.Many are good for man's health and happiness.For example，scientists discovered an African frog whose skin had a new kind of anti﹣biotic（抗菌素）.Now，we are using it to fight against many common illnesses.
In order to save wild animals，we need to collect more information about them such as where they live，what illnesses they get，what they eat，how much land they need，and so on.We must set up parks and nature reserves（保护区） where animals can live in safety.We must teach the public that man and animals can live peacefully together and that animals are our friends.

（1）What happened to the tigers in Java at the beginning of 20th century？ 　B　
A.The tigers weren't used to the living environment on the island.
B.The population of the tigers was getting smaller and smaller.
C.The tigers couldn't get along with the other animals in the forests.
D.The tigers moved to new places instead of living on the island.
（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ 　C　
A.Humans cut down the trees to build new houses for the tigers.
B.It's good for tigers to share the same area with the other animals.
C.Many living plants and animals are good for our humans' health.
D.Pandas，bears and monkeys don't belong to endangered animals.
（3）What does the writer mainly tell us in the last paragraph？ 　D　
A.Why the flowering plants disappeared more quickly.
B.Where we should build the parks and nature reserves.
C.When we used the antibiotic to fight against illnesses.
D.How we should do to save the wild animals on the earth.
【分析】文章介绍了爪哇岛的很多动物处于濒危状态以及如何拯救动物。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据Today there are not many places left where tigers can live safe﹣ly.（今天，老虎可以安全生活的地方已经所剩无几了。）可知，20世纪初爪哇岛的老虎数量越来越少。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据As we know，each living plant and animal is a valuable part of the complex of life on the earth.Many are good for man's health and happiness.（我们知道，每一种活着的植物和动物都是地球上生命综合体的宝贵组成部分。许多有益于人类的健康和幸福。）可知，许多活的植物和动物对我们人类的健康有好处。故选C。
（3）主旨大意题。根据 In order to save wild animals，we need to collect more information about them such as where they live，what illnesses they get，what they eat，how much land they need，and so on.（为了拯救野生动物，我们需要收集更多关于它们的信息，比如它们生活在哪里，它们得了什么病，它们吃什么，它们需要多少土地，等等。）可知，最后一段讲述了我们应该做什么来拯救地球上的野生动物。故选D。

The Advantages of Taking Music Lessons
Now，a study from the University of British Columbia（UBC） in Canada shows that students who took music lessons in high school performed better in subjects such as English，science，and math.
The researchers collected data（数据） from over 100，000 students at public high schools across the province of British Columbia.Some of them took music lessons during high school while others never attended them.Comparing the test scores of students who took music lessons with those of their peers（同龄人），the students who took music lessons got higher grades in a few of different school subjects.
Research like this has been done before，but the current study is much larger，and took into account other factors（因素） that may affect（影响） the results.For example，perhaps students who took music lessons were encouraged to do so because they already had good grades.Or perhaps students were more or less inclined（倾向） to study music depending on their social economic background（经济背景），which could also affect academic scores.This UBC study includes data from comparable groups—students of the same age in the same school.It rules out a number of other factors that could explain why music students performed better，and the researchers still found a clear effect（效果） of music lessons on the learning performance.
Not only did music students perform better than non﹣music students，but students who played an instrument（乐器） did even better than those who sang."Learning to play a musical instrument and playing in a band can provide satisfaction，"says Martin Guhn，one of the researchers."A student can learn to read mu﹣sic notes，achieve eye﹣hand﹣mind coordination（协调），develop listening skills and build interpersonal relationships."
What this study doesn't tell us，though，is why music makes these students perform better，but the research paper mentions a few possible explanations.Music practice has relations with neurological（神经的） changes that improve certain brain functions（功能），affecting memory and planning skills.The researchers also consider that there is a possible motivational（激发动机的） factor：Students who take music lessons see a clear result from practice—they get better—and they might use that to do their other work.And finally，students who joined the non﹣competitive team and made music together could strengthen（加强） their social development，which would also help them in other areas.

（1）The research from UBC in Canada shows that 　A　 .
A.Music makes students get higher grades in some subjects
B.Music plays a role to lower students' pressure in their life
C.Most high school students can get relaxed from pop music
D.Music is much more popular among high school students
（2）What does the underlined phrase "took into account" probably mean？ 　A　
A.thought about.
B.checked out.
C.got into.
D.searched for.
（3）The researchers are trying to 　D　by doing further researches.
A.ask more students to come to their schools to learn music
B.help all the students to make great progress in their study
C.encourage the music students to learn the other subjects
D.find out why the music students perform better at school
（4）What can we infer from the passage？ 　C　
A.Learning music may do harms to students' listening skills.
B.The students will spend more time playing music instruments.
C.Music practice can lead to some changes of the students' brains.
D.It will be more difficult for music students to achieve in other fields.

（3）细节理解题。根据This UBC study includes data from comparable groups—students of the same age in the same school.It rules out a number of other factors that could explain why music students performed better，and the researchers still found a clear effect（效果） of music lessons on the learning performance.（这项UBC的研究包括来自可比群体的数据——同一所学校的相同年龄的学生。研究排除了许多其他可以解释为什么学音乐的学生表现更好的因素，研究人员仍然发现音乐课对学习表现有明显的影响。）可知，研究人员正在通过进一步的研究，试图找出为什么学音乐的学生在学校表现更好。故选D。
（4）细节推断题。根据Music practice has relations with neurological（神经的） changes that improve certain brain functions（功能），affecting memory and planning skills.（音乐练习与神经系统变化有关，这些变化可以改善大脑的某些功能，影响记忆和规划技能。）可知，音乐练习可以导致学生大脑的一些变化。故选C。

Then they came to the scariest part—The Freaky House.They entered the house with heads held high，but came out of it with their hearts beating fast.And all of them were shaking from head to foot.
