21、hants from damaging farmers crops.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life.

22、n Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a

23、 total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them.

28、fields.CYou are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible （ 有形的 ） things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.These are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of ” -the first of several ne

29、w museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent.Some of the collections are fairly common-records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful-branc

30、hes that have fallen from trees, for example. But they all reveal （ 显露 ） a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.Others on the way include “The Museum of Collectors ” and “The Museum of Me . ” These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success

31、of the “The Museum Of. ” The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at im

32、portant points: the beginning or end of adolescence- “its a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up, ” says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship.

I

36、n order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons-for example, economic （经济的 ） reasons-why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that histo

37、rical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs ha

38、ve been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate （影响）its surroundings too much, it often improves that attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt （ 破坏）the area they are

39、in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative （ 保守的）and do not like change.Although we have to respect people 's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I

40、 believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward . If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might

41、be the more risky choice.68. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A. Some of them are not attractive.B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.69. Wh

42、ich of the following is true according to the author?A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.B. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D. No one understand why people speak against new buildings.70. By move things forward "i

43、n the last paragraph, the author probably means .”A. destroy old buildingsB. put things in a different placeC. choose new architectural stylesD. respect people's feelings for historical buildings 71. What is new purpose of the passage?A. To explain why people dislike change.B. To warn that we co

44、uld end up living in caves.C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areasEYou may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years, this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty （ 贫困）and sickness, promo

45、ted education and encouraged small business. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promisingchangemakers”seeking to solve （解决）urgent problems and would like to created a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.Drayton believes that anyone can become an

46、agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. They young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact, it

47、is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or business that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problems facing the city, helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.When Masqsood

48、 and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka's streets, attracting rats and disease, they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste. So they educated the poor people in the city to compost （ 把制成堆肥 ）this waste. They knew that they would have a market

49、 for the end product because minerals in the soil over the years. At first, they were refused, but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made, the project took off. In 2008 sales were $14,000.Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious, prac

50、tical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.72. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. ChangemakersB. BusinessmenC. Social ConditionsD. Rubbish Problem73. The underlined word them" in Para. 3 probably refers to .”

51、A. the local farmersB. Masqsood and IftekharC. Drayton and his teamD. the poor people in Dhaka74. It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he.A. considers Drayton's conceptB.gets permission from AshokaC. tries to improves social conditionsD. is a young, happy

52、and healthy adult75. The author's attitude towards Ashoka's program can be described as.A. changing B. forgivingC.cautious D. positive第一节：任务型读写Many people believe that classical music is not relevant to young people today. However, this issue （问题）frequently heated debate.Some people say that

53、 classical music is associated only with old people. For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty.Others say it is more popular than we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realizing. It is often used in films an

54、d advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was sued as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it.Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said th

55、at rap （说唱）music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but is it is now used by young people in pop music.However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped （超越）by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practice

56、d for hours. Nowadays, you don ' need to get aching arms from practicing. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.A final point to bear in mind is that the term classical music "is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz

57、to pieces for large orchestras （管弦乐队）.This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!TitleClassical MusicIntroductionThe issue of whether classical music is 76.to young people causes heated debate.Opinions?
