She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band. But one big difficulty lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Benda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them were sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.‎ One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she head that sound cannot travel in space, because there’s no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.‎ With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which removed all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备）and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.‎ It wasn’t long before Brenda Bongos became very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards, she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unusual space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.‎ Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: “If those old people next-door hadn’t mattered so much to me, I wouldn’t have found a solution, and none of this would have ever ‎ happened.”‎ ‎56.

Do well and have well C After numerous warnings over the years, you thought coffee probably had a negative influence on your health? Perhaps the drink is not so bad after all.‎ The new study, carried out by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), has been published and suggests that coffee ‎ does not have a harmful effect on your health. Researchers suggest, based on data examined, older adults who drink a lot of coffee have lower risk of death when compared to their non-drinking coffee peers（同龄人）.‎ The team of the researchers conducting the study analyzed data on 400, 000 U.S. men and women, aged 50 to 70 years. The individuals had taken part in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. This study started in 1995-1996 and was tracked until the day a participant passed away in 2008.‎ According to a report, researchers shared that coffee drinkers are “less likely to die from heart disease, injuries and accidents, although the relationship was not seen for cancer.”‎ Results indicated participants that drank three or more cups of coffee a day reduced their risk of death by 10%. Based on the findings that both caffeinated and non caffeinated coffee found similar results, researchers are thinking caffeine is not a protective ingredient, although which ingredient in coffee might be, they are not sure.‎ Researchers indicate that in spite of these findings, they warn it is not clear whether or not drinking coffee actually lengthen life expectancy（寿命）.‎ ‎“Coffee is one of the most favorite drinks in America, but the relationship between coffee drinking and risk of death has been unclear. We found drinking coffee to be related to lower risk of death from a number of different causes,” said Neal Freedman, Ph. D., NCL.‎ ‎“Although we can’t infer a relationship between coffee drinking and a lower risk of death, we believe these results do provide some comfort that coffee drinking does not affect health.” Freedman said.‎ Dr. Cheryl Williams, a dietician, said, “More research needs to be done to truly understand the ingredients in coffee and their biological activity and effect on health.”‎ ‎61. The author writes the text to present ________.‎ A. medical benefits of coffee B. importance of planting coffee C. new study results on coffee D. coffee’s negative effects on health ‎62. We can learn from the text that ________.‎ A. people who often drink coffee are more likely to suffer cancer B. drinking coffee can help reduce the risk of death from diseases C. people rely heavily on coffee drinking and that proves to be a problem D. caffeine is the very ingredient which protects people from diseases ‎63. After reading the text, coffee drinkers could be less ________.‎ A. embarrassed B. excited C. disappointed D. worried ‎64. What does Williams suggest?‎ A. Introducing advantages to drinking coffee.‎ B. Analyzing the causes of human death.‎ C. Drinking more caffeinated coffee.‎ D. Doing more caffeinated coffee.‎ ‎65. The author develops the text mainly by ________.‎ A. providing typical examples B. comparing opinions from different fields C. showing scientific data and information D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects 第II卷（共35分）‎ 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。‎ Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.‎ Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.‎ ‎“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.‎ ‎“Eco-passages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “these eco-passages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.‎ But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.‎ Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals like salamanders（火蜥蜴）and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.‎ The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!‎ ‎66. Why does the writer use the example of “ocelots”? (no more then 10 words)‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________‎ ‎67.
