    17．A few years ago，pop poets such as Murray Lachlan Young began to set poetry to rock music with some surprising results．People thought that poetry was the new rock‘n'roll．However，despite the brief popularity of a few pop poets，poetry and pop music didn't seem t o mix．But are they really so different？
    If you look back at the origins of poetry，there is a strong connection between poems and popular music．In Greek mythology，for example，the muse （女神） Erato is pictured with a lyre （里拉琴） in her hand，and looks just like the ancestor of the modern rock star with his electric guitar．In addition，the poets Shelley and Byron were as famous in the nineteenth century as the pop stars of today．
    But despite their common origins，there are many differences between poetry and pop music．Pop songs are always written for a public performance，whereas poetry often isn't．And the lyrics in pop songs sometimes have less rhythm than those in poetry．This is because the music provides the rhythm rather than the words．Pop ly rics are also simpler and often keep on saying the same thing．This repetition works well in a performance and means that pop songs are easier for people to sing and learn by heart．
    Both songs and poems tell a story or talk about feelings．Songs in particular deal with the different stages in a relationship，such as falling in love or breaking up．The words and ideas in songs are usually easier to understand than those in"serious"poetry．However，talented performers like Paul McCartney，or newer stars like Robbe Williams，often give simple songs more expression when they perform them．And some of the best lines from pop lyrics are as beautiful as poetry．
    So although pop music and poetry have many differences，they do have one important thing in common：the power to make us think about how we feel．
    32．Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 4？D
    A．Songs and poems are equa lly beautiful．
    B．The main theme of songs is about relationship．
    C．Songs tell stories but poems tell about feelings．
    D．Songs and poems express a similar message．
    33．According to the article，what is the difference between poetry and pop songs？C
    A．Pop songs are not always performed before an audience．
    B．Pop songs are more difficult to understand than poetry．
    C．The words in pop songs are repeated over and over again．
    D．There is more rhythm in pop songs than poetry．
    34．What did Murray Lachlan Young do a few years ago？A
    A．He had rock music and poetry combined．
    B．He surprised people with his beautiful style of writing．
    C．He wrote beautiful music for some famous poems．
    D．He invented a new kind of poem for his fans．
    35．What does the writer say about talented performers today？C
    A．They look at poetry to find ideas for their songs．
    B．They think their songs are more serious than poetry．
    C．They give songs more meaning when they sing them．
    D．They consider themselves to be more popular than poets．

    14．On a stormy day last August，Tim heard some shouting．Looking out to the sea carefully，he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea．
    Two 12-year-old boys，Christian and Jack，rowed out a boat to search for a football．Once they'd
    rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water．The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore．But they were no match fo it and
    the boat was out of control．
    Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves．"Everything went quiet in my head，"Tim
    recalls（回忆），"I'm trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line．"
    Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water．Every 500 yards or so，he raised his head to
    judge his progress．"At one point，I considered turning back，"he says．"I wondered if I was putting
    my life at risk．"After 30 minutes of struggling，he was close enough to yell to the boys，"Take down
    the umbrella!"
    Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella．Then Tim was able to catch up and climb
    aboard the boat．He took over rowing，but the waves were almost too strong for him．
    "Let's aim for the pier（码头），"Jack said．Tim turned the boat toward it．Soon afterward，
    waves crashed over the boat，and it beganto sink．"Can you guys swim？"he cried．"A little bit，"the
    boys said．Once they were in the water，Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys
    toward the pier．Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs．Tim swam
    toward land as water washed over the boys'faces．
    "Are we almost there？"they asked again and again．"Yes，"Tim told them each time．
    After 30 minutes，they reached the pier．
    21．Why did the two boys go to the sea？B
    A．To go boat rowing．
    B．To get back their football．
    C．To swim in the open water．
    D．To test the umbrella as a sail．
    22．Why did Tim raise his head regularly？C
    A．To take in enough fresh air．
    B．To consider turning back or not．
    C．To check his distance from the boys．
    D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella．
    23．How can the two boys finally reach the pier？A
    A．They were dragged to the pier by Tim．
    B．They swam to the pier all by themselves．
    C．They were washed to the pier by the waves．
    D．They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back．

    1．Scientists in Mexico have just begun a new study of one of the world's biggest pyramids：the Pyramid of the Sun，north of Mexico City．They're putting lots of small，high-tech machines under the pyramid to try to unlock some of its secrets．For thousands of years，people have tried to uncover the secrets o the pyramids．
    The people who built the pyramids made lots of secret doors and rooms to stop robbers from finding the treasures inside．However，there always have been some smart thieves in history．Now，almost all of Egypt's pyramids have been robbed，including the Great Pyramid of Khufu，which is the largest pyramid in the world．It is the only one of the ancient wonders of the world that is still standing．
    In AD 820，an Arab king named Abdullah AL Manum got a group of workers to dig their way into the Great Pyramid and have a look．Inside the pyramid，they found three rooms---the Queen's Chamber，the Grand Gallery and the King's Chamber．But to their surprise，the men didn't find the treasures they wanted．The Queen's and King's Chambers were both empty!Where were the King's mummy and his treasures？Had someone already taken them away？The huge stone doors at the pyramid's entrance were still closed when AL Manum's men went inside．How had the thieves got in and out？
    Since then，many people have gone inside the Great Pyramid to have a look or to try to take things．But still，no other chambers or walkways have been found．
    In 2002 an American team made the most recent visit to the Great Pyramid．Scientists sent a robot into the pyramid，but they only found a mysterious locked stone door．
    28．The first two paragraphs were written to show thatD．
    A．the Pyramid of the Sun is an unusual historic building
    B．ancient Egyptian emperors were cruel
    C．construction workers led a hard life in ancient Egypt
    D．the secrets of the pyramids remain to be uncovered
    29．Which of the following is NOT true to the Great Pyramid of Khufu？C
    A．It is the largest pyramid in the world．
    B．It is the only one of the ancient wonders that is still standing．
    C．Abdullah AL Manum took the King's mummy and his treasures away．
    D．Scientists found a mysterious locked stone door to the Great Pyramid．
    30． What would be the best title for the text？C
    A．The Pyramid of the Sun
    B．The Great Pyramid of Khufu
    C．A Mysterious Locked Stone Door
    D．Unlocking the secrets of Pyramid．

    18．Across Britain，burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to delivertheir supermarket bunches of flowersBut，according to a new study，we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year．
    Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work．Now，the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours，they would earn as much as£172，000a year．
    The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do，as well as the hours they are working，to determine the figure．This would make their yearly income£30，000more than the Prime Minister earns．
    By analyzing the numbers，it found the average mother works 119hours a week，40of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79hours as overtime．After questioning 1，000mothers with children under 18，it found that，on most days，mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm．
    To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour，it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on，including housekeeper，part-time lawyer，personal trainer and entertainer．Being a part-time lawyer，at£48，98an hour，would prove to be te most profitable of the"mum jobs"，with psychologist（心理学家） a close second．
    It also asked mothers about the challenges they face，with 80per cent making emotional（情感的） demand as the hardest thing about motherhood．
    Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends．
    The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day．The emotional，physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending，but children are also sources of great joy and happiness．Investing（投入） in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent．
    25．How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister？C
    A．£30，000．
    B．£172，000．
    C．£142，000．
    D．£202，000．
    26．The biggest challenge for most mothers is fromB．
    A．low pay for work               
    B．emotional demand
    C．heavy workload                
    D．lack of training
    27．What is stressed in the last paragraph？B
    A．mothers'importance shows in family all year long．
    B．The sacrifices（牺牲） mothers make are huge but worthwhile．
    C．Mothers'devotion to children can hardly be calculated（计算）．
    D．Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return．
    28．What can we conclude from the study？C
    A．Mothers'working hours should be largely reduced．
    B．Mothers should balance their time for work and rest．
    C．Mothers'labour is of a higher value than it is realized．
    D．Mothers should be freed from housework for social life．

    19．They Just Can't Help ItMy theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy-the ability to understand other people-and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems．（36）DFor example，women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting，while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport．
    You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up．However，this is not the case．
    A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face，and newborn boys look longer at a mobile．（37）CIt has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings．Boys，however，seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions．（38）GPeople whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male．Math and engineering，which require high levels of systems-thinking，are also male-chosen disciplines．
    Why do men and women have the difference？Actually women have four times as many brain neurons （神经） that connect the right and left part of their brains．Because of it，women have a better ability to multitask than men．
    （39）AMen tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time．They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another．
    Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender （性别） is better than the other，but this is not the case．My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy，but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses．（40）FIt is not true．The study simply looks at males and females as two groups，and asks what differences exist，and why they are there．

    A．They will consider many sources of information at the same time．
    B．Their preference for building systems may change over time．
    C．That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological．
    D．Generally speaking，there are clear differences．
    E．It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy．
    F．Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like．
    G．You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace．
