15.Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events--love,sadness,good times,and bad times.It tells real-life stories and sounds the way people really talk.As life becomes more complicated(复杂),it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music,sometimes called country-western,comes from two kinds of music.One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States.The other is traditional cowboy music from the west.The singers usually play guitars,and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.At first city people said country music was low class.It was popular mostly in the South.But during World War II,thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories.They took their music with them.Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps(军营)in the South.They learned country music.Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada-in small towns and in New York City,among black and white,and among educated and uneducated people.About 1,200radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day.English stars sing it in British English,and people in other countries sing it in their own languages.The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world.

5.On a cool November afternoon in Fleming Island,Florida,Melissa Hawkinson,41,was driving her five-year-old twins home from school when she saw a sudden splash in Doctors Lake just ahead.What was that?She thought.As she drove up to the scene,she saw a half-submerged car sinking about 30 yards offshore."It was going down pretty quickly,"Hawkinson recalls.She stopped the car near the boat ramp and ran toward the water.Water is going to be cold,she thought.
     She took off her vest and leather boots,got into the icy water,and swam to the car,where she found Cameron Dorsey,five,trapped into his car as the swirling water rose around him.
     Hawkinson tried to open the door,but it was locked.So she pushed and pulled hard on the partially open window until she could reach through and unlock the door.She pulled the boy free,swam to shore,and handed him off to onlookers who were only watching them on a dock.The driver,the boy's suicidal father,swam back to land on his own.Afterward,Hawkinson sat on the shore wrapped in a blanket."For ten or 15 minutes,I couldn't stop shaking,"she said.
     There's nothing visibly extraordinary about Melissa Hawkinson,an energetic stay-at-home mom with brown hair and a sweet smile.Yet something made her different from the dockside onlookers that day.Why do some people act quickly,willing to take a risk for a stranger?What makes them run toward danger rather than away from it?Hawkinson,the Granite Mountain Hotshots (能手,高手)---19 of whom lost their life this past summer in Arizona---every hero who puts his or her life on the line to save another:what makes them brave?
     Moreover,can bravery be learned,or is it a quality with which you are born?The answer is complex.Bravery taps the mind,brain and heart.It comes from instinct,training and sympathy.Today,neurologists,psychologists and other researchers are studying bravery,trying to uncover the mystery.
21.It can be learned from the passage thatB.
A.Melissa Hawkinson was a 41-year-old nurse

22.What conclusion can we draw from the third paragraph?D
A.No one else was available except Melissa Hawkinson.
B.The father committed suicide because of the divorce.
C.The father was saved in the end by Melissa Hawkinson.
D.Not everyone was ready to risk saving the five-year-old boy..
23.How does the writer find other people on the dockside?C
A.Warm and ready to help            
B.Thoughtful
C.Kind of cold-blooded             
D.Not skillful at swimming
24.What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage?A
A.To set us thinking what makes people brave.
B.To call on us to learn from such people as Hawkinson.

3.As I sat beside the window of our classroom that afternoon,my heart sank further with each passing car.This was a day I'd looked forward to for weeks:Miss Pace's fourth-grade,end-of-the-year party.
I had happily volunteered my mother when Miss Pace looked for cookie volunteers.Mom's chocolate chips were well-known,and I knew they'd be a hit with my classmates.But two o'clock passed,and there was no sign of her.Most of the other mothers had already come and gone,dropping off their sweet offerings.
The three o'clock bell soon took me away from my thoughts and I took my book bag from my desk.
I decided I would slam the front door,and refuse to return her hug.But when I arrived,she wasn't at home.
I was lying face-down on my bed upstairs when I heard her come through the front door.
"Robbie,"she called out a bit urgently."Where are you?"
I could then hear her rushing anxiously from room to room,wondering where I could be.I remained silent.Coming through the door,she said:"I'm so sorry,honey,"she said."I just forgot.I got busy and forgot."
Then my mother did something completely unexpected.She began to laugh!How could she laugh at a time like this?I rolled over and faced her,ready to let her see my rage (愤怒).
But my mother wasn't laughing at all.She was crying."I'm so sorry,"she said."I let you down.I let my little boy down."
I was moved by her tears.
I tried to remember her kind words from times past when I'd skinned knees or cut myself,times when she knew just the right thing to say.
"It's okay,Mom.We didn't even need those cookies.There was plenty of stuff to eat.Don't cry.It's all right.Really."
We didn't say another word.We just held each other.When we came to the point where I would usually pull away,I decided that,this time,I could hold on,perhaps,just a little bit longer.
52.The author was pretty down becauseB.
A.he couldn't go to the party he had been looking forward to
B.his mother didn't turn up at the party as she had promised
C.his mother had refused to make chocolate chips for the party
D.the cookies his mom made was not popular at the party
53.When the author returned home,D.
A.he was so angry that he slammed the front door
B.he was silent and refused to return his mother's hug
C.he rushed from room to room looking for his mother
D.he was disappointed that he his mother wasn't at home
54.We can tell from the story thatC.
A.the mother didn't get to the party because of the traffic jam
B.the mother was sorry for her absence and laughed at herself
C.the author was a caring and thoughtful boy
D.the author was overcome with anger
55.The article conveys the message thatC.

C.true love is based on understanding

10.Health experts have long known that vitamin D is important for healthy bones and teeth.It may also help to protect the body against diseases such as diabetes and cancer.And now,researchers say vitamin D might help fight brain diseases called dementias(痴呆).
Dementias are brain diseases that damage thinking and memory processes,what scientists call"cognitive abilities."Dementias are difficult to treat.Taking care of someone who has dementia is extremely demanding.And the disease is very frightening to sufferers.Chris Roberts suffers from dementia.He says the worst part of living with this disease was getting lost while driving."The worst thing that I found was getting lost in the car,not just forgetting where I was going-I wouldn't know where I was."More than 47million people around the world suffer from dementia.The World Health Organization reports that 60percent of them live in low-and middle-income countries.
We get vitamin D from some foods like nuts,lentils and fatty fish.We also get vitamin D from the sun.But that is not dependable.In some parts of the world,there is not enough sunlight to provide enough vitamin D.Also,sunblock substances prevent the vitamin from entering the body.To add to the problem,the skin's ability to process vitamin D weakens as a person ages.
Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey are exploring the relationship between vitamin D and dementia.The team recently measured vitamin D levels and cognitive ability in older people.Nutritional sciences professor Joshua Miller led the team.He said cognitive abilities differed among the study subjects.He said tests showed that about 60percent of the group was low in vitamin D.
32.Which of the following is not true about vitamin D?C
A.Vitamin D is in foods like nuts and fatty fish.
B.Vitamin D helps the body fight against cancer.
C.Vitamin D can decrease people's risk of heart diseases.
D.Vitamin D is important for keeping bones and teeth healthy.
33.What does the underlined word"demanding"mean in Paragraph 2?B
A.Boring but rewarding
B.Hard and tiresome.
C.Disgusting and stressful.
D.Disturbing and frightening.
34.What does Paragraph 3mainly talk about?A
A.Where people get vitamin D.
B.How vitamin D affects people's health.
C.Whether sunlight can produce vitamin D.
D.Why people's age influence the production of vitamin D.
35.Where can we most probably read the passage?D
A.In a commercial advertisement.
B.In a literature magazine.
C.In a travel brochure.
D.In a science journal.
