19．Will you be playing some music at work？
Music is particularly popular in the medical profession，especially among surgeons（外科醫(yī)生）．A recent survey shows that 90% of surgeons in the UK put music on the sound system in the   theatre during operations．Plastic surgeons（整形外科醫(yī)生）play the most music，it appears； ear，nose，and throat specialists the least．
But it isn't only in surgeries where music is popular．In another recent survey，one-third of the 1，613people said they listen to music while working．And 79% of them said that humming（哼歌）along improves their job satisfaction or productivity．
Is listening to music at work a good idea？Yes，say the experts．Many surgeons say that music contributes to creating a"calm atmosphere"，and a third of them added that it avoids getting bored!Also，listening to music raises the levels of a brain chemical that can help people focus．Office workers say it improves job satisfaction．Several studies suggest that it's also good for hospital patients．Those listening to music through headphones during surgery require less anaesthetic（麻醉劑），up to 50% less in some cases，and recover more quickly afterwards．"Sure，music reduces anxiety before surgery，"says Zeev Kain，an anaesthetist at Yale University．
So，what type of music should we be listening to？Surgeons from the previous survey favored rock，pop music and classical．And hip-hop is popular too．However，whatever the kind，it appears that self-selected music is the best choice．Pennsylvania State University research showed that when people chose their own music there was more stress reduction．And other researchers found that when listening to self-selected music，surgeons did the maths faster and more accurately than when they were listening to music chosen for them．

70．The underlined word"theatre"in Paragraph 2probably meansA．
A．a(chǎn)n operating room              B．a(chǎn) rest room for surgeons
C．a(chǎn) waiting room in a hospital   D．a(chǎn) building where shows are performed

A．music is popular in many professions
B．most surgeons in the UK are music lovers
C．office workers learn a lot from listening to music
D．more than half the people listen to music at work
72．What are the advantages of listening to music at work？C
①improving memory②keeping people relaxed
③improving job satisfaction④improving eyesight
A．①④B．①②C．②③D．②④
73．How should you choose music for work time according to the passage？B
A．Turn to the surgeons for help．
B．Make your selection by yourself．
C．Rock，pop music and classical are always good choices．
D．The most popular music should be taken into consideration．
74．The passage is mainly aboutD．
A．how to choose music wisely
B．where to find the best music
C．the popularity of music in hospitals
D．the benefits of listening to music at work．

10．"Long time no see"is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend's email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．
Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal（文字的） translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure!Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing"Long time no see．"This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named"Charlie Chan"on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius．"Long time no see"was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，"Long time no see"became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．
Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少數(shù)民族的成員） group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew!Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．
You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list!Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．
67．The writer himself felt surprised atA．
A．"Long time no see"used as standard American English   
B．the Chinglish expression"Long time no see"
C．so many literal translation of the expressions used in America
D．finding out Americans seldom use the expression
68．The underlined word"stew"in the 4th paragraph probably meansB．
A．Confucius'words       
B．a(chǎn) mixture of different cultures
C．a(chǎn) kind of cooked dish           
D．American changing cultures
69．According to the passage，it can be inferred thatD．
A．detectives translate the phrase"Long time no see"
B．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew
C．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages
D．Hollywood made"Long time no see"popular
70．The main idea of the passage is thatB．
A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into English
B．American English keep being enriched from different cultures
C．some American expressions can be used in China
D．you'll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America．

7．Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years．But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did？
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia（懷舊的）．I have four brothers and sisters，and my memories are all about being with them．Playing board games on the living room floor，or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children，racing up and down on our bikes，or exploring the nearby woods．My parents hardly appear in these memories，except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure．
These days，in the UK at least，the nature of childhood has changed greatly．Firstly，families are smaller，and there are far more only children．It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family，or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child．As a result，today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone．Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home，inside．More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers，so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves．
Finally，the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different．Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood．The iron（令人啼笑皆非的事情） is that so many ways of playing games are called"interactive"．The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today．
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had？I personally believe that they do，but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same．
60．What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph？A
A．To get people's attention and lead in the topic．
B．To gather people's opinions on childhood．
C．To show who the passage is written for．
D．To compare the childhood lives of two generations．
61．Which is a reason for the changes？B
A．Families are bigger today
B．It's too dangerous to play outside．
C．Children play more interactive games
D．Parents worried too much about their children．
62．What does the writer focus on in the fourth paragraph？B
A．Young people today shouldn't play electronic games．
B．Some games that young people play today aren't really good．
C．Computer and video games have replaced the board games．
D．Board games are much more interesting than computer games．
63．The writer's attitude towards the childhood changing isB．
A．a(chǎn)pproving        B．objective         C．unconcerned    D．optimistic．

14．Why Cats Scratch Tings
In has long been assumed that when cats scratch objects with their front paws（爪子）that they are sharpening their claws．（71）AResearch on cat behavior suggests that the major reason for this behavior is communication．By scratching up the bark of a tree （or the leg of your favorite chair） the cat is letting other cats or people know where she is and what she is up to．
Cats tend to pick a small number of noticeable objects in their environments to scratch such as trees，fence posts repeatedly．（72）BThe scratched surface leaves a highly visible mark that can be easily seen by other cats．In addition，cats have special glands （腺）in their paws so that when they make scratching movements they leave scent（氣味）that the cats can smell．The fact that cats leave scent marks by making scratching movements may be the reason that cats will continue to scratch objects even after they have been declawed．（73）F
We don't know exactly what cats are communicating with their scratching．Both males and females do it．It is done inside and outside the home and even by cats living with no other cats around．（74）G Cats don't scratch up your furniture to bother you or just to be destructive，but for specific reasons，one of which is communicating．Cats also scratch to extend their bodies，during play，and possibly as a greeting or to relieve dissatisfaction when prevented from doing other things they want to do．
（75）EIt is easier to prevent problem scratching rather than trying to change your cat's preference for the arm of your sofa after it has become a built up habit．Thus，the goal is to establish acceptable scratching habits by getting your cat to prefer a scratching post rather than the arm of your sofa．

A．It turns out that this is only a secondary reason．
B．This is why the tree next door looks so scratched up．
C．Cats use other parts of their bodies to communicate as well．
D．Small pieces of bark have accumulated on the ground underneath．
E．Scratching can result in considerable damage，owner dissatisfaction．
F．Declawed cats may still be leaving scent marks on objects they scratch．
G．It could be a defensive warning or just a marker that announces its existence．

4．Winter weather has returned to northern areas of the world．In much of the United States，winter means the return of snow．
Snow is a form of frozen water．It contains many groups of very small ice particles （顆粒）called snow crystals（晶體）．These crystals grow from water particles in cold clouds．They usually grow around a piece of dust．All snow crystals have six sides，but they grow in different shapes．The shape depends mainly on the temperature and water levels in the air．The shape of a snow crystal may change from one form to another as the crystal passes through levels of air with different temperatures．Snow contains much less water than rain．About 75 cm of snow has as much water as 2.5cm of rain．
Generally，the color of snow and ice appears white．This is because the light we see from the sun is white．Most natural materials take in some sunlight．However，when light travels from air to snow，some light is sent back，or reflected（反射）．Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight．It is this light that gives snow its white color．
Much of the water we use comes from snow．Melting（融化） snow gives water to rivers and crops．Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from the cold．Fresh snow is made largely of air which is kept among the snow crystals．Because the air has trouble moving，the movement of heat is greatly reduced．However，snow is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people in the United States every year．Many people die in traffic accidents on roads that are covered with snow or ice．
71．In the center of a snow crystal there isC
A．a(chǎn)ir       B．water      C．dust     D．sunlight
72．If fifteen centimeters of snow completely melts，the height of water will beA
A.0.5 centimeter   B.1centimeter   C.1.5 centimeters   D.15 centimeters
73．According to the text，snow looks white becauseC．
A．snow is actually white                
B．the ice particles are white
C．the reflection of light makes it look white 
D．there is a lot of air in the snow
74．How can snow protect plants from the cold？D
A．Snow gives them much heat．
B．Snow turns into water and waters them．
C．Snow makes them keep moving．
D．Snow contains air which has trouble moving．
75．What is the last paragraph of the text mainly about？C
A．Snow can give water to rivers and crops．
B．Snow can help crops keep warm in winter．
C．Snow has both advantages and disadvantages．
D．Snow is the cause of the deaths of many people．

8．There are three different kinds of friends in our life．I classify them according to how well I know them and how well they know me．
The first type of friend is just an acquaintance（泛泛之交）．This means that you only know their names．You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation．You don't miss them when they are elsewhere．It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation （惱怒）．Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly，you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry，such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly．I call them"pest friends"．

Lastly，we have"best friends"．This sort of friend is there when you need them．They know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin．Best friends are the ones that you can lean and depend on no matter what happens．If you need a listening ear，they will be the one to lend support．
Friends come in all different shapes and sizes．Every friend has an effect on our life…
