Music is often divided into several categories or kinds．Some of the categories are classical music, traditional music, rock music and jazz music．The first kind, classical music, refers to orchestra music that originated in Europe a few hundred years ago．Most of the original classical music was composed or written in Italy, Germany, Austria or Russia．Classical music is usually played by a variety of string and wind instruments．

The second type of music is traditional music．It comes from particular culture．Every culture has its own special forms of traditional music．For example, “blues” music is one kind of traditional music in the United States and “enka” music is one kind of traditional music in Japan．Each traditional music has its own special instrument．

Another kind of music is rock music．It is generally a loud kind of music played with a strong beat．Rock musicians often use electric instruments．Rock music probably began in Europe about 30 or 40 years ago．It became very popular, especially among young people during 1960’s and 1970’s．

The fourth kind of music is jazz．Jazz probably comes from Africa．Jazz has a different kind of rhythm from other kinds of music．A variety of music instruments are used to play this kind of music especially wind instruments．

Of course there are other categories of music．In addition, many kind of music are combination of classical and traditional or classical and jazz and so on．

Children who were breast-fed(母乳喂養(yǎng)) are better at dealing with stress than their bottle-fed classmates, a Swedish research shows．

A study of thousands of British youngsters showed that those who were given powder milk could feel it more difficult to deal with stressful events----such as the divorce( 離婚)of their parents．

   It is thought that the close contact helps mother and child bond and encourages a feeling of security that enables the child to deal better with traumatic situations in later life．

   Research found a mother’s milk may help reduce stress and the process may feed the growth of the parts of the brain crucial(關(guān)鍵的) in handling stress and anxiety．

   The Swedish findings follow a number of other studies which have shown that breast milk protects against infection, heart disease, diabetes and obesity．Breast-feeding may also reduce the mother’s risk of having breast cancer．

   The support of breast-feeding is so strong that the Department of Health recommends that mothers should feed their babies on breast milk alone for the first six months to ensure they get the best start in life．

   However, many women find breast-feeding difficult and claim they are too busy to do so or are not aware of the knowledge．In the latest study, researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm tracked the health of almost 9,000 boys and girls born in the UK in 1970．

   When the children reached ten, researchers gauged(測(cè)量)their ability to cope with stress by looking at how they were affected by family problems．

The results showed that those who were bottle-fed were more than four times as stressed by such events than those who were breast-fed．

73．Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “traumatic”．

74．What does the Department of Health recommend mothers to do?(回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò)10個(gè))

75．According to the research, what do you know about the breast-fed children? (回答詞數(shù)不超過(guò) 6個(gè))

Latrice Brown was excited about starting her junior year．She had volunteered to take part in the Lincoln High School Friendship Program．As an upperclassman, she would be assigned a “freshman(新生) friend．” Her duties would include helping her friend get used to high school life by offering friendship．Latrice thought it was important to have someone with whom to talk and share concerns．She knew that the friendship program was likely to make the freshman year of high school a positive experience．On July 24 Latrice received a notice in the mail about the schedule of events for the freshman orientation(適應(yīng)指導(dǎo))

A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world．They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals．The scientists were surprised by what they found．They say that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will become extinct(滅絕的)．More than 1 million plant and animal species will become extinct by 2050．

The head of the research team, Christ Thomas, who is professor of conservation biology at Leeds University, said the results of their research were frightening．More than 10% of all plants and animals will become extinct．It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere．But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now, we could save many more plants and animals from extinction．

The scientists studied some areas of the world with a very rich biology．These areas were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa．Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler．In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move very long distances to get cooler, so they are in greater danger of extinction．The scientists found many surprising things．For example, they found that half of the 24 species(物種) of butterfly they studied in Australia would soon become extinct．

64．According to this passage, global warming could be best described as ________ to many plants and animals．

A．deadly                  B．surprising                C．disappointing         D．frightening

65．What’s the purpose of the research led by Christ Thomas?

       B．To call on people to control greenhouse gases．

       C．To warn us of the extinction of many animals and plants．

       D．To study the effects of global warming on animals and plants．

66．Why did species living in mountainous areas have a better chance of survival?

A．Mountains helped keep them out of more heating．

       B．Global warming had no effect on mountainous areas．

       C．There were no greenhouse gases in mountainous areas．

       D．There were more water in mountains than in deserts．

67．Which of the following is NOT true?

       A．It is certain that many plants and animals will die out．

B．Half of the Australian butterflies would die out．

C．Many more animals and plants still can be saved．

D．Europe is one area which has a very rich biology．

Human Cloning Is Wrong

I’m sure many of you have seen Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Multiplicity, or many of the other movies that describe cloning．Most of what you see in these movies is false．What you don’t know is that cloning could be dangerous, to the clone and to our society as a whole．It’s immoral to have a human clone．

What about identity? Humans are promised the right to their own personality．What would happen if we ignore those rights by giving them someone else’s genetic identity? True, personality is not fixed in someone’s genes, but the clone would share any physical appearance or genetic fault of the cloned．

Also, there is a large power struggle here．Cloning means a degree of power and control over another person’s physical identity and that ignores their rights and their only personality．The person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have．

Cloning would also deal with killing embryos．You might not have known, but Dolly, the sheep that was cloned in 1996, was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived．The rest died or were thrown away．Imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans．More than 200 embryos, the start of 200 human beings, would die for the sake of just one embryo that would have the same DNA as someone else．

Cloning someone, at this present time, would be extremely dangerous to the birth mother and the clone．In studies done on cows, 4 out of 12 birth mothers died．There is a very high failure rate, which is shown in the cloning of Dolly．Even if you had a few good embryos, failures have been noticeable in animal tests．

So, should we work ahead in the world of cloning? I say no．The risks are greater than the benefits．It’s dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother．We would be killing human lives in the process．It would also be a violation(侵害) of the clone’s right to its own genetic identity and personality．

60．The author thinks human cloning is wrong mainly for _________ reasons．

A．2                            B．3                            C．4                            D．5

61．According to the article, what is the author’s opinion about identity?

A．Cloning itself gives parents great power over identity．

B．People’s identity is completely determined by their genes．

       C．Governments have the rights to confirm people’s identities．

       D．Cloning may prevent people from possessing their identity．

62．From Paragraph 4 we can infer that _________．

       A．human cloning is much more difficult than animal cloning

       B．Dolly is the most successful one among 200 sheep embryos

       C．cloning means running the risk of wasting too much effort

       D．numbers of baby animals are likely to be created by cloning

63．Why does the author mention some movies in the first paragraph?

       A．To introduce the topic of the article．

       B．To present his idea about the movies．

       C．To state the conclusion first．

       D．To make the article unusual．

John H．Johnson was born in a family in Arkansas City in 1918．His father died in an accident when John was six．He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high schools for the blacks．

Fortunately he has a strong-willed and caring mother．John remembers that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe．” She told him not to be dependent on others, including his mother．“You have to earn success”, said she, “all the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard．”

These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education．She also knew that believing and working hard don’t mean everything．So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son to Chicago．

Chicago in 1933 was not the Promised Land that black southerners were looking for．John’s mother could not find work．But here John could go to school, and learned the power of words―as an editor of a newspaper．His wish was to publish a magazine for the blacks．

While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by: “Nothing beats a failure but a try．” She also let him sell her furniture to get the 500 dollars he needed to start the Negro magazine．

It’s natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful．He always keeps his mother’s words in mind．“Son, failure is not in your dictionary．” Now John H．Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America―worth 150 million dollars．

A．if you try , you will surely succeed

B．a(chǎn) try is always followed by a failure

A．didn’t depend on others or give up easily

B．thought success only lied in a strong faith

C．thought one could be whatever one wanted to be

D．believed one would succeed without working hard

Eight years ago, my family spent a long time in naming my dog．We finally  36  that we would call her Kang-Yang．In Korea, Kang  37   a puppy while Yang refers to Miss．It is a name we give to a(n)  38  ．At that time her name had no  39  meaning, but now it has become a very beautiful and meaningful name to me．
