【題目】Music is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a “l(fā)anguage” that the whole world can understand. A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.

I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke... even our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination(暗殺) of President John Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.

Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It's also a great source of inspiration.

Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs. Close your eyes, and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images—matching the music that you are listening to.

1Music has magical power because it ________.

A. is a kind of language

B. can be played much louder than words

C. receives a personal radio signal

D. can influence a person's spirit

2One can learn from the second paragraph that the Beatles ________.

A. were the biggest band in American history

B. are not accepted by modern American people

C. appeared at a special time in American politics

D. represented the roots of American culture

3One will do all of the following while listening to music EXCEPT ________.

A. feeling very refreshed

B. having emotional changes

C. painting some vivid pictures

D. feeling inspired by the composer

4It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.

A. has been influenced by the Beatles

B. enjoys drinking tea in his spare time

C. admires President John Kennedy very much

D. likes to match his own feeling with that of the composer

【題目】Every few years comes a fitness trend that has people scratching their heads in amazement. “Crunning” will probably be one of them. The “c” stands for “crawling”(爬行). This new sport needs two-legged humans running on all fours!

The funny idea is the brainchild of Shaun McCarthy. The 34-year-old is convinced that it will revolutionize fitness as we know it. According to the sports enthusiast, “The only thing that crunning’s changed about fitness is that it’s changed everything about fitness.”

Mccarthy has no scientific evidence to prove that crunning is more efficient than traditional two-legged running. However, he believes it is a more effective way to exercise because it puts an emphasis on the shoulders and arms, providing a complete body workout. Mccarthy also says crunning seems to tire him out more. He therefore concludes that the unconventional exercise is a bigger calorie burner than normal running.

While experts generally agree that crunning may provide a better workout, many are not sure if it is the right exercise for humans. Fitness coach Kevin Dean says we are not built to be on all fours and our wrists are therefore not as strong as our ankles. He believes crunning, which he calls a fad(時(shí)尚), could result in bad wrist and shoulder injuries, not to mention broken noses.

But McCarthy is not worried. Since the release of his crunning video a few weeks ago, many Melbourne residents have been seen scampering around on all fours. As it turns out they are not the only ones. In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, crawling, a much slower version of crunning, has been a favorite activity for many years. According to some enthusiasts, the light exercise that is believed to date back two thousand years to the Han Dynasty, is good for curing back and spine ailments.

Ready to give crunning try? Then Mccarthy recommends investing in some good shoes, hardy gloves and most important of all, a face mask!

【1】What can we learn about crawling according to Kevin Dean?

A. Our ankles are stronger than our wrists.

B. Crawling is an efficient way to work out.

C. The city of Zhengzhou is the origin of crawling.

D. Crawling can burn more calories than normal running.

【2】What does the author think of crunning?

A. Dangerous. B. Interesting.

C. Beneficial. D. Unbelievable.

【3】Why does McCarthy suggest people wearing a face mask when crunning?

A. To amuse other people.

B. To avoid being recognized.

C. To protect the nose from being injured.

D. To prevent sweat dropping on the ground.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A. A new way of crawling.

B. A new trend of exercising.

C. A scientific discovery.

D. A traditional way to keep fit.

【題目】USA Today is a national American daily newspaper published by the Gannett Company.

USA Today prints each complete story on the front page of the respective(各自的)section with exception to the cover story. The cover story is a longer story that requires a jump (readers must turn to another page in the paper in the paper to complete the story, usually the very next page, page 2 of that section).

Starting in February 2008, the newspaper added a magazine supplement(增刊)called Open Air, appearing several times a year.
