W:I love working in the music business. Every day I first check my e-mail messages. I write a couple of replies to my fans and then I surf around on some music websites to see what the music journalists say about me. Then I walk to a small French cafe for breakfast. At about eleven o’clock, my car takes me to the studio. I meet the other members of the band and we talk about the ideas we have for the day in the studio. We never start working in the studio until about noon. Usually, we begin with the problems of the previous day. At about three in the afternoon, we stop for lunch but sometimes we continue recording if we have some good ideas. For the last couple of hours, until about 6 pm, I don’t sing but I help the rest of the group with the music. I go back to London and arrive home at about half past six or seven. I meet my boyfriend, Peter, and we go to eat a tasty meal in a restaurant. He loves foreign food so we often go and eat in an Indian or Greek restaurant or something similar. I never go to bed too late as I don’t want to be too tired for the studio.

【題目】 What we know of prebirth training makes all this attempt made by a mother to influence the character of her unborn child by studying poetry,art,or mathematics during pregnancy seem totally impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child?There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child,because it changes the activity of her glands() and the chemistry of her blood. Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved(溶解) in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.

In our discussion of instincts(本能) we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit(繼承) must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may behowever,that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics,they will probably make a success of that study.

As for musical abilityit may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear,a special structure of the hands or the vocal(發(fā)聲的) organs connections between nerves and muscles. If these factors are all organized around musicthe child may become a musician. The same factors,in other circumstance,might be organized about some other center of interest.

The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited,then nor even the love of it,but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other fields may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.

1What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A.Mothers' prebirth training is totally unlikely to influence the character of unborn children.

B.A pregnant mother needn't have prebirth training because of no nervous connection with her child.

C.A mother can't help her child become a talented poet just by studying poems during pregnancy.

D.An emotional shock to the mother has little effect on her unborn child for their unconnected vessels.

2It can be concluded from the passage that a child may not inherit ________ from mother.

A.sensitive earsB.capable fingers

C.intelligenceD.a knowledge of maths

3Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A.Role of InheritanceB.Role of the Environment

C.An Unborn ChildD.Inherited Talents

【題目】Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credited to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time. She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children's book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.

Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967; after graduation Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.

Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 197l she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.

Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.

Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.

1When Joanna Cole was young, she ________.

A. got inspired by one of her teachers

B. was very popular with children

C. began her career of writing novels

D. knew what she would do in the future

【題目】 Scientists have come up with a new way to measure ocean trash(垃圾) and the numbers are even worse than thought. In 2010, eight million tons of plastic trash ended up in the ocean from coastal countries far more than the trash floating on the surface of the ocean. That ' s bad news. The even worse news is that the tonnage may increase by as much as ten times in the next decade unless the world finds a better way to improve how trash is collected and managed.

The new study identifies the major sources of plastic trash and names the top 20 countries producing the greatest amount of ocean trash. The United States is 20th. The rest of the list includes l1 Asian countries, Turkey, five African countries, and Brazil.

The size of the difference is huge --- 20 to 2,000 times more than the amount of floating trash. To make the figure eight million tons understandable, Jenna Jambeck, who led the study, compares it to lining up five grocery bags of trash on every foot of coastline around the globe. "And by 2025, those five grocery bags of plastic are going to be ten bags," she says. That would be 155 million tons a year if present trash management practices remain the same."

Ocean plastic has turned up everywhere. It has been found in the deep sea and buried in Arctic ice with terrible consequences for some 700 species of wildlife in the ocean.

The study has also created a new mystery. Because what flows into the ocean is so large, scientists now have to figure out where else it collects and in what amounts. "But what we need to do now is close the gap." says Richard Thompson, a scientist from the U.K.

1What is the most serious problem concerning ocean trash?

A.There is no way to get rid of it,.

B.Eight million tons of trash goes into the ocean.

C.A lot more trash may be put into the ocean in the future.

D.The way to measure ocean trash hasn 't been found.

2Jenna Jambeck explains the seriousness of ocean trash mainly by ______.

A.showing the causesB.describing a process

C.making comparisonsD.making a classification

3The underlined part “the gap” in the last paragraph refers to the difference between ______.

A.what is harmless and what is dangerous

B.what is on the surface and what is in the deep sea

C.what is found and what can be recycled

D.what is from America and what is from other countries

4Which of the following can best describe the author 's tone in writing the text?

A.Doubtful.B.Hopeless.C.Critical.D.Concerned.

【題目】 It’s almost impossible to stay positive and motivated (有動(dòng)力的) if you are constantly focusing on the negative aspects of your life. Unless you change your mindset, you will be stuck in a routine, and you certainly won’ t be going anywhere. 1

Focus on the good aspects of your life. There are always reasons to wake up in the morning. 2 Your morning coffee. Relaxed walks. Daily conversations. Don’t take what you have for granted. It may not always be there in the darkest times. Appreciate the present and don’t think too far ahead. It’s important to concentrate on what you have now and the decisions you make at the moment. If there is something stable in our lives, it gives us a reason to stay motivated.

3 One of the key ways to keep motivated is to reward yourself often. When life isn’t being kind to you, it’s your job to be kind to yourself. 4 It can be as simple as buying new clothes or getting a haircut. After achieving something or completing a set goal, give yourself a good break. Light a scented candle. go out with friends or just stay at home watching your favorite movies.

Sometimes it’s very hard staying motivated when everything in your life is uncertain or unsatisfactory. Rewarding yourself is the greatest form of self-love. 5

A. Reward yourself.

B. Motivate yourself.

C. It doesn’t have to be something big.

D. It acts as a reminder that you are doing very well.

E. Start with the small things that you appreciate in life.

G. The more you know about yourself. the more power you have to behave better.
