    Fifty years ago, the well-loved musician Bob Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed (嘘声). The audience may have been unhappy but Dylan's performance helped change the direction of music and culture in the United States.

    The mid-1960s were a time of great change. One such place of change was the world of folk music. Bob Dylan became a symbol of change when he moved from acoustic (原声的) to electric guitar.

    Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the change. It is called " Dylan Goes Electric. " “There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the Billboard charts and seven of the top 10 albums were folk records. And Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio, all had huge, huge, huge number-one records. "

    And then this happened: The "British Invasion" introduced the world to the Beatles and grew a huge fan base for rock music. That worried many folk musicians, says Elijah Wald. They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue. However, a new Dylan sound came from the stage.

    Bob Dylan had gone electric, and the followers of folk music were not pleased. "When Dylan went electric, I think one of the issues was the feeling that - wait a minute, he's gone over to the enemy. "

    Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from rock and roll. But, author Wald says Dylan felt differently about the music. " Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn't think of rock and roll as stupid music. "

    In fact, Dylan was a Beatles fan. He later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles he

    knew "they were pointing to the direction where music had to go. "

    Beyond the music, Dylan's performance that night also marked a turn in American culture.

    1.How did the audience feel when Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival?

    A. Excited. B. Unsatisfied.

    C. Respectful. D. Bored.

    2.Which is TRUE about American music world in the early 1960s according to Elijah Wald?

    A. Great changes had taken place in folk music.

    B. People had grown sincere love for rock music.

    C. Folk music was once a huge mainstream pop trend.

    D. Bob Dylan was the best American musician at that time.

    3.What did folk musicians and followers expect Dylan to do?

    A. Change folk music for better.

    B. Recover the glory of folk music.

    C. Introduce the world to the Beatles.

    D. Play rock and roll against the Beatles.

    4.What will the author most probably talk about next?

    A. Dylan's deep love for the Beatles' rock and roll music.

    B. Dylan's beliefs in the new direction music should go.

    C. Dylan's music as a great contribution to American folk music.

    D. Dylan's performance as a mark of a change in American culture.

    On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.

    I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn’t see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn’t feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.

    My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.

    I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.

    Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn’t come back because it figured I wasn’t food.

    1.The writer mentions Adrenaline in Paragraph 2 to ________.

    A. explain why she didn’t feel pain at that time

    B. offer a possible reason the shark attacked her

    C. show how dangerous the situation was then

    D. describe the suffering a shark bite could cause

    2.The writer of the text can be best described as ________.

    A. grateful B. confident

    C. tough D. aggressive

    3.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

    A. A Shark from Nowhere

    B. Surviving a Shark Attack

    C. A Race against Time

    D. No Panic over Sharks at Sea

    Air is an odorless (无气味的), invisible (看不见的) gas that surrounds the earth. It is everywhere on the planet. An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room, to give two examples, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.

    Air, as a gas, has no definite (明确的) shape, but, because it is matter, it takes up space. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a dry handkerchief into the bottom（底部） of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside-down. Push the upside-down glass; hold it straight into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of water, the handkerchief will be dry. The air inside the glass takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.

    1.What does the underlined word “Stuff” (in Paragraph 2) mean?

    A. Press tightly. B. Take out.

    C. Put down. D. Turn fully.

    2.The writer tells us that _______.

    A. the experiment is done in the laboratory

    B. the experiment is done outside the room

    C. the experiment is easily done

    D. the experiment is carried out indoors

    3.Which of the following pictures gives us the correct result?

    (W—water; A—air; H—handkerchief)
