At ten years old, she was the youngest performer in the recital (音乐演奏会). She had practiced playing her song more than 30 times ‎ that week. When she closed her eyes at night the music played over and over again in her head.‎ ‎    Now that the day had arrived. Deisha was not sure she was ready. She smoothed her hair and picked a piece of lint (绒毛) from the new dress that her mother had bought for her. She noticed that her hands were shaking. How could she play the notes of the song if her hands were shaking? She tried to concentrate on steadying (稳住) them, but they play only shook more.‎ ‎    Deisha's piano teacher, Ms Neal, walked up to speak to her. "I have something for you." she said, putting a smooth black stone into Deisha's hand. "It's a special stone. There's no other one like it in the world. You've practiced so much: you don't need anything else."‎ ‎    The stage lights reflected off the rock. "Thank you," Deisha said.‎ ‎    When Deisha's name was called, she rubbed the stone, stepped onto the stage, and played better than ever.‎ ‎    After her performance, she noticed that Ms Neal had a whole bag of black stones. "Why did you say this one was so special?" she asked. The teacher responded, "Because, like your talent, it belongs only to you."‎ ‎（21） Why did Deisha hear the piano music in her head at night?‎ A .She had practiced many times. B .She wanted to remember the song forever.C .She listened to the song every day. D .She liked this piece of music very much.‎ ‎（22） Before the performance began, Deisha ________.‎ A .was dissatisfied with her new dress B .waited impatiently backstage C .was too nervous to keep her hands steady D .forgot the notes suddenly ‎（23） According to the text, Ms Neal thought that ________.‎ A .Deisha was fully prepared for the recital B .it was difficult to play the piano C .it took talent to play the piano D .Deisha owned many things ‎（24） What does the writer want to show?‎ A .Practice leads to a perfect performance. B .People are talented in their own way.‎ C .Rubbing a stone can bring good luck. D .Performing in front of people is hard.‎ B ‎  What are two things that make humans different from animals? One is language, and the other is music. It is true that some animals can sing (and many birds sing. better than a lot of people). However, the songs of animals, such as birds and whales, are very limited. It is also true that humans, not animals, have developed musical instruments.‎ ‎    Music is strange stuff. It is clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things—especially their emotions. When music is combined with speech in a song, it is a very powerful form of communication.‎ ‎    If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific evidence suggests that this is true. Sometimes people who suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language. However, they don't automatically lose their musical abilities. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russian composer, had a stroke in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech. He could, however, still compose music until his death ten years later. On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech.‎ ‎    Why does music have such a strong effect on us? That is a harder question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice, and physical ability. That's why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone's mate. For example, singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes. And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally, when a man sings to the woman he loves, it may be a way of showing off.‎ ‎    However, Miller's theory still doesn't explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research.‎ ‎（25） What is the purpose of the first paragraph?‎ A .To introduce the main topic.B .To show the author's attitude.C .To analyze causes.D .To describe a process.‎ ‎（26） Music is considered especially powerful when it ________.‎ A .is translated into a languageB .is combined with speechC .is sung by some famous musicianD .is mixed with the cry of an animal ‎（27） The example of Vissarion Shebalin is used to show that ________.‎ A .he is one of the luckiest personB .he is really interested in composing musicC .the brain processes music and language separatelyD .music and language are two different things for some ‎（28） What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?‎ A .Effects of music on humans works.B .A study on how music we...C .Reasons why music affects us.D .Ways of using music in daily life.‎ C Nola is a 41-year-old northern white rhino (犀牛) that lives at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, California. She is one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world, and the only one in the western part of the earth. The other three live in Kenya (肯尼亚).‎ ‎    Rhinos have lived on earth for more than 40 million years, but they are now at the risk of dying out. Hunters illegally hunt rhinos for their horns (角), which are used for ‎ art, jewelry, and decorations. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, though it is not allowed by law. Rhino horns are also prized as a key part in traditional medicine, even though scientific tests have proven that the horns cannot cure illnesses. Experts say that every eight hours, one rhino will be hunted.‎ ‎    Scientists are trying to find ways to prevent rhinos from dying out. In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell samples (细胞样品) from more than 8, 000 different animal species until now, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will gain greater understanding of the species, and will find ways to increase its number.‎ ‎    Jeanne Loring works with the Frozen Zoo. Loring's research focuses on pluripotent stem cells, which are cells that can renew and become any cell type. Coloring's lab at TSRI is working together with scientist Oliver Ryder of the San Diego Zoo to use plenipotentiary stem cells to try to increase the number of the northern white rhino. Loring said the goal is to start producing new rhinos through this method over the next couple of years.‎ ‎（29） We know from Paragraph 1 that northern white rhinos ________.‎ A .can live a very long lifeB .will die out within a few yearsC .have become seriously endangeredD .mainly live in the western part of the earth ‎（30） What can we learn about rhinos from Paragraph 2?‎ A .Their meat is of great value.B .They haven`t attracted much attention.C .Their horns have been used to save lives.D .Human activity greatly reduced their number.‎ ‎（31） What was the Frozen Zoo started for?‎ A .Studying the rhino cells. B .Collecting cell samples from plants. C .Preventing rhinos from being hunted. D .Studying animals to help them survive.‎ ‎（32） We learn that pluripotent stem cells ________.‎ A .can be easily storedB .don't exist in all animalsC .can reproduce in a new formD .are dangerous to normal cells D ‎    You probably know that frogs hop (双足跳). But did you know that there's a small frog in the Pacific Northwest that belly flops (肚子先着水)? It's called a tailed frog.‎ ‎    Dr. Rick Eisner, who has been studying tailed frogs for the past few years, says, "I've looked at thousands of jumps and have never seen them land on their feet like other frogs." Most of the time, tailed frogs land on their stomachs and then bring their back legs in to prepare for another jump.‎ ‎    Eisner first noticed these frogs because of the way they swim. Other frogs kick both of their back legs at the same time. But when a tailed frog swims, it pushes first with one leg and then the other.‎ ‎    To try to find out why tailed frogs bellyflop, Eisner and other scientists collected and filmed different kinds of frogs. They found that all of the frogs start their jumps the same way: They hold out their legs. The change comes in the landing. Tailed ‎ frogs can't move their back legs as quickly as other frogs do. Maybe they don't need to. Tailed frogs live around water and quickly jump into the water to escape danger.‎ ‎    Early frogs developed around watery areas and could jump quickly into the water to escape danger. Scientists think those frogs blended in with (与…融合在一起) the green plants on the side of the rocky rivers, just like today's tailed frogs. "I would guess that other animals would have problems detecting them," explains Eisner. When other animals find those early frogs, the frogs could jump into the river. They didn't need to continue hopping.‎ ‎    Tailed frogs and other kinds of frogs went their own ways about 200 million years ago. Tailed frogs stayed by rivers. Other kinds of frogs moved to places where new hopping skills allowed them to survive.‎ ‎（33） What's special about the detailed frog?‎ A .It has a long tail.B .It jumps on one foot.C .It stars its jump differently.D .It lands differently from other frogs.‎ ‎（34） Why do tailed frogs bellyflop?‎ A .They have never left the water to live.B .They have trouble in holding out their legsC .Their back legs can't catch up while jumping.D .Their front legs develop better than the back ones.‎ ‎（35） The underlined word "detecting" in Paragraph 5 means "________".‎ A .eatingB .killingC .usingD .discovering 七选五题（每题2分共10分）‎ Simple Anger Management Tips When things or people act in a certain way that is unacceptable to you, you get angry. __36__ Here are some things you can do to manage anger.‎ Do not act when you are angry.
