【題目】Maps of the world’s population show that the majority of people today live near water. 【1】We also vacation at the beach and find comfort fishing on a lake. Nothing makes small children happier than the chance of playing in water. More interesting, this human favor for water makes evolutionary sense. 【2】

Neuroscientist(神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)科學(xué)家) Michael Crawford of the University of North London has proposed that our ancient ancestors attached to the sea, and that their devotion paid off by allowing the human species to develop large and complex brains. Crawford claims that when humans separated from apes and appeared in the forests of Africa, they stuck close to rivers and beaches and started catching fish and crabs.【3】

It's no coincidence, Crawford claims, that human brain growth began to increase rapidly once we left the woods and headed for the beach.

【4】Psychiatrist(精神病學(xué)家)and biochemist Joseph Hibbelin of National Institutes of Health has shown that across cultures there is direct link between amount of fish eaten each week and rates of depression. More interesting, Hibbelin and researcher Laura Reis have found that fish is commonly used as a symbol of happiness and good health in various religions and cultures.

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。

If you take a look at the best-selling books in the UK these days, it is almost certain that there will be a lot of autobiographies (自傳) in that list. Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela and actor Michael J Fox have all written them. An autobiography is the story of a person’s life, written by that person. It is usually a very famous person who might tell us all about their childhood, how they became famous and any other interesting things that have happened in their lives.

Traditionally, someone would write an autobiography when they were older because they had had a long, successful life. However, these days there are many magazines with stories and photos of the stars which sell very well. Reality TV shows are extremely popular and lots of people become famous very easily just from being on the TV rather than being able to sing or act well. As a result, people become famous very quickly and as soon as they are famous, a lot of money can be made from writing an autobiography, even if they are very young.

So now you can find an autobiography from almost everyone who is in the public eye. Even though we can follow the lives of the stars very closely on TV or in magazines nowadays, we maybe don’t know how they live their lives from day to day. Autobiographies often give the information we never knew about the stars. The British public are very curious to find out more so they are very eager to read autobiographies.

Not every star wants to write though. Sometimes stars employ writers to write their life stories for them. The writer will interview the stars, listen to everything they want to say, record interviews and then write books based on their words. David Beckham did this with his book My Side.

Not everyone likes to read books regularly but they might like to read about the lives of stars. Autobiographies are helping to get more British people reading books. About 100 million autobiographies are sold in Britain every year. More stars depend on them for extra income and as more of these books appear in the shops, more people are sure to keep buying them.

【題目】閱讀理解
In the early times,the music industry was terrified of taping,thinking that customers would just copy music,or record from the radio.But that never really happened,at least not enough to cause any real hardship to anyone in the music business.
The same argument arose over technologies like miniDisc and recordable CDs.But the thing that terrified the music industry more than anything else was the arrival of services like Napster,which allowed people to share music over the Internet without costing them anything.The music industry was shocked: it saw people exchanging digital copies that didn't degrade（降級(jí)）with each transfer,something that kept tapes from being a huge threat.
But it wasn't the Internet that killed the music industry.In fact,everything is still looking optimistic for many musicians.Taylor Swift has had a good year,and her latest album is likely to be making her very wealthy indeed.And that won't change in all likelihood,not for Swift,and not for those who come after her.There is always going to be public demand for music.
However,the technology will simply destroy the record company.The reason is simple.Record companies are a man in the middle that simply doesn't need to exist anymore.The same way we buy our flights directly did get our shopping online and have things delivered from Amazon instead of going to a local shop.We have always been willing to enjoy cost reductions at the expense of the middleman and the record companies are that kind of middleman.
What does the record industry offer?Well,surprisingly little these days.It used to be the case that record companies would go and find new talents.Of course this still happens,but more likely is that an artist will be discovered by the public through YouTube,or even from friends on Facebook or Twitter.Record companies also used to have an important role in producing the music.But countless artists are making their own way through software or any of the other amazing music development apps,without any help from the record companies.
（1）Why didn't tape copying become a serious danger to the music industry?
A.It was hard to transfer.
B.It was strictly controlled.
C.It didn't save much money.
D.It was replaced by miniDisc and recordable CDs.
（2）The example of Taylor Swift is fused to prove that______.
A.the demand for music is on the increase due to the Internet
B.the sales of albums are badly affected by the Internet
C.the Internet doesn't have a destructive effect on the music industry
D.the musicians make a great fortune via the Internet
（3）The record companies will suffer most because________.
A.they are in the middle way and block the development of the music industry.
B.the record industry can offer nothing to us
C.people prefer to cut down the expenses at the cost of the record companies
D.the public pa more attention to Facebook or Twitter

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood．When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn't a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird's captivity my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my captive（被俘虜?shù)模?was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
（1）Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?
A.He had just got a new cage.
B.He liked its beautiful feather.
C.He wanted it to sing for him.
D.He wanted a pet for a companion.
（2）The mockingbird died because it ______.
A.was frightened to death
B.ate the poisonous food its mother gave it
C.refused to eat anything
D.drank the poisonous water by mistake
（3）An ornithologist probably means ______.
A.a religious person
B.a kind person
C.a schoolmaster
D.an expert in birds
（4）What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?
A.Freedom is very valuable to all creatures.
B.All birds put in a cage won't live long.
C.You should keep the birds from their mother.
D.Be careful about food you give to baby birds.
