2.(6分)Future View
I think it will be great if they invent something so that we only have to sleep for one or two ,
hours every day.Then we'd all have much more time to do .things and to enjoy ourselves.
Life would be better, I think, and everyone would do a lot more with their lives.
Miguel
If I could choose anything, I'd go for a time machine so that I could go back and do some
things differently. Of course,that's impossible 一but wouldn't it be great if it was possible? I
wish I could go back in time to when I was a kid and say some of the things in a different way!
Hannah
Well, of course, the best thing is medicine for really bad diseases(疾病).A lot of scientists
are working very hard to stop diseases like Ebola ,a terrible disease that has killed many
thousand people in Africa .So if they , found a special treatment for Ebola , or a way of
completely preventing it,life would be easier in so many places.
Isabella
It will be great if there is some kind of fuel(燃料) we can use in cars that won't produce any
pollution.I guess there are scientists right now trying to do that , and I hope they'll succeed
because the world would be a much cleaner place, wouldn't it?

teachers wouldn't be very happy.

3.(8分)Is there a connection between music and language?According to recent studies,the
answer is yes:Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain.
A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a
person's hearing ability . As a part of the study , two groups of people listened to a person
talking in a noisy room .The people in the first group were musicians , while those in the
second group had no musical training .The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking
person more clearly.
Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to
certain sounds. For example, when the violinists play in an orchestra (管弦乐队),they
must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore (忽视) the other sounds . In this
way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise.
Gottfried Schlaug ,a doctor at Harvard Medical School ,works with stroke (中风)
patients.Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names,addresses, or other
information normally .However , they can still sing . Dr . Schlaug was surprised to find
singing words helped his patients finally speak . Why does this work ?Schlaug isn't sure .
Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active , including the bad parts. In
some way, this helps patients use those parts of the brain again.
So music is not only enjoyable , but also good for us in many other ways . Playing an
instrument or singing , says Nina Kraus , can help us do better in school and keep our brain
sharp as we get older.
(1)What were the people in tbe first group asked to do in the study of Nothwestern
University?
A.Listen to different kinds of music.
B. Make some noise in an empty room.
C. Give the second group musical training.

A. how musicians play in an orchestra
B. how musicians ignore certain sounds
C. why musicians have better hearing ability
D. why musicians are not afraid of loud noise
(3)Gottfried Schlaug helps his stroke patients speak by .
A. playing music for them
B.getting them to sing words
C. teaching them to play instruments
D. joining the bad parts of their brain
(4)What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce different ways of playing music.
B. To give some advice about making our brain active.
C. To show the relationship between music and language abilities.
D. To sbare the results of recent studies on treating stroke patients.
4.(8分)It's late evening in the middle of the winter. The snow is deep, but off I go into the
wild.Suddenly, I hear it: the howl (嚎叫) of wolves. Excitedly, I walk faster in the
direction of the howling.
I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year .
It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them. Like wolves, however, I don't
work alone. I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves
to the park.
2
Humans have always feared wolves. From fairy tales to movies, the wolf is always the bad
guy a danger to humans and other animals. In the 1920s, the organizers of the park shared this
view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park .As a result,the
number of elk(麋鹿)in the park increased. The elk started looking for food near river banks
since they didn't have to worry about wolves.This, in turn, stopped trees from growing along
the rivers, doing great harm to the environment there.
The return of wolves has already made a big difference. To begin with, the elk soon learned
to stay away from the rivers , so new trees have been able to grow there . The trees become
home to new wildlife, such as birds, and provide food for more animals.
The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their
natural environment. It has also helped the local people make more money , Tourists visit the
area,stay in the local hotels, and eat in the local restaurants.
Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me , I am amazed at the
changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone . And happily , it is playing a good guy in this
story.
(1)According to the passage, one of a wolf tracker's jobs is to .
A. catch wolves in the park
B. feed wolves in the wild
C. stop wolves from killing elk
D. collect information about wolves
(2)Why did the organizers drive the wolves away from the park in the 1920s?
A. The wolves were always howling at night.
B. The elk in the park were in danger of dying out.
C. The wolves had done great harm to the environment.
D. The park was thought to be unsafe with wolves around.
(3)Paragraphs 4 and 5 are mainly about the that wolves have brought to Yellowstone.
A. risks
B. troubles
C. changes
D. competitions
(4)What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. Wolves are important to Yellowstone.
B. Yellowstone has been home to wolves.
C. The wolf and the elk live in peace now.
D.The number of wolves is growing fast.
5.(8分)Whenever I'm invited to somebody's house for the first time , I'll take a close look at
their bookshelves.What they keep on their shelves,in my eyes,is a reflection (反映) of
their personal tastes and interests.The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.
My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological tale. First up
come my favorite childhood reads , like Watership Down and His Dark Materials . The
collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school ﹣ Nineteen Eight﹣Four , The
Handmaid's Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full﹣time education and
enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional (职业的) life, from the
first exciting days of work experience to the present.
If you pointed to any book on my shelves , I could name the year I got it , where I was
working,and probably where I was living at the time.
___▲____It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big
part of that story is how we arrange (排列) our books, and get on with them. It's such a
personal thing,different from each other. Some want to be with their books in every room ,
others have them on
shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors . Each home has a story to tell through the
