During World War D the Red Cross set up a program for people to send letters to soldiers in Europe so they would never be lonely. During the course of this program a soldier received a letter from a woman he didn’t know and had never met. She asked him the typical things and he wrote a return letter with the typical answers.

As their letters became more frequent they realized that they had much in common and a friendship was formed. Through the ever-increasing letters they came to know each other more and he looked forward to them as he moved ever forward into combat and danger. Over lime their friendship began to blossom into love, but they never exchanged photos.

Eventually the war ended. He told her he was coming home and they made a plan to meet at Grand Central Station. Hr would look like countless other soldiers so he told her he would hold a bouquet (束) of carnations (康乃馨) and she said she would be carrying a particular book. If their love was real, they could meet.

At the station he was eagerly searching for the book in the hands of every woman he met. Shortly after, a short, plain and overweight woman appeared currying a book. He knew it was her. His excitement for meeting the love of his life dashed away. But he put a big smile on his face and called her name. She smiled and came over to him. He bent to kiss her cheek, but she pushed him off. Instead she handed him the book and walked off. Confused, he suddenly turned around and a beautiful woman was standing und smiling before him.

“I had to be sure,” she said to him, “if you were the man of personality I dreamed about. And you are.” And she came into his arms and they kissed for the first time under the big clock in the center of Grand Central Station.

Jumanji (勇敢者的游戏) is a story for children about a very strange game—a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams.

The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panish, finds the box and takes it home. He is unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boarding school. Alan’s friend, Sarah, arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear: “Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you.’’ Suddenly Alan finds that he is disappearing into the game.

The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important—if you face your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to a boarding school after all.

In Jumanji, time is flexible. The film director Stephen Spielberg’s “Back to the Future” films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically possible!

25.From the story we learn that Alan is a boy who       .

A. dislikes his study at school    B. is afraid of his serious father

C. was born a hundred years ago    D. goes back to the past in the game

26.Through the game Alan has realized that whenever he has difficulties he should       .

A. escape into the past    B. face them bravely

C. ask for his father’s advice    D. read the words on the box

27.What does the author mean when he says time is flexible?

A. One can travel in time.

B. Science can change the limit of time.

C. Time travel is impossible in space.

D. Time is a common topic in film-making.

C

Try this: For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when you’re hungry and sleep when you’re tired. What do you think will happen?

You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You’ll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don’t know what time it is, your body does.

These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms（生理节奏）, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.

Everyone’s rhythms are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to fell tired at night and energetic during the day.

Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests.

“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven Shea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. That’s what neurologist（神经病学家）Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study.

Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity.

28.What will happen if you forget about the clock according to the passage?

A. You will feel upset.

B. You will behave normally.

C. Your body will not know what time it is.

D. You will probably get hungry more easily.

29.Mike feels energetic at 12 midnight while Tom feels sleepy. What advice would be given by the writer?

A. Both should see a doctor..

B. Tom should see a doctor.

C. Both should take it easy.

D. Mike should have a watch.

30.How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body clocks?

A. By seeing what happens when they are messed up.

B. By asking questions and collecting answers.

C. By studying people traveling across time zones.

D. By programming people with man-made clocks.

31.What will the writer most probably talk about next?

A. Other examples of what people will do when their body clocks go wrong.

B. Medicines that can keep people from putting on weight.

C. Why it is important to have a normal body clock.

D. What circadian rhythms are.

D

People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans (寿命) that are similar to humans, jiving for around 50 to 70 years.

Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.

According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.

“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous (癌变的), large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.

This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox (悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.

The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.

“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”

32.Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?

A. They have a rather large body size.

B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.

C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.

D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.

33.According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?

A. Deadly tumors.    B. The huge body mass.

C. Cells killing themselves.    D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.

34.What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?

A. Larger animals have protection from TP53.

B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.

C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.

D. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.

35.What can be concluded from the passage?

A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.

B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.

C. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.

D. The extra copies of elephants, genes are used to cure cancer patients.

       Today, the trend in music production is shifting more and more toward home studios. 36. Do you want to know how music actually is recorded indoors?

37.

Today, we use a more complex process known as multitrack recording where each instru­ment is recorded separately and combined later in a “mix”. With this new method, it meant that one man could do alone what used to require an entire team of engineers and musicians.

The editing process

Now that you’ve finished recording your tracks, it’s time to clean them up. The reason is that there will always be some mistakes that can be fixed, no matter how careful you were in the last step. 38.. They’re arrangement, comping (伴奏), noise reduction, time editing and pitch (高音) editing.

The mixing process

Once the tracks are arranged, the next goal is to make them combine as one connected unit, which is called the process of “mixing”. 39. There are certain fundamental tasks that everyone does. One task is balancing faders, which is done so that no instrument sounds too loud or soft.

The mastering process

Before your song is ready to be mastered, all tracks must be “re-recorded” down to a sin­gle stereo file, as we commonly know. Once that’s done, various mastering techniques are used to put the finishing touches on your song. 40.And if you don t know what you’re doing, you can easily make things worsen rather than better.

A. The recording process

B. The combining process

C. To put it simply, mastering is hard

D. Typically, editing is made up of five common tasks

E. Mixing is an art form in itself and can be done in many ways

F. Editing is the most important part in the process of music production

G. Great music is being produced in bedrooms or garages by normal folks like you and me
