He gained fame by writing opera, a form of performance combining singing, music on instruments, and drama.Wagners life and work have been very controversial (有争议的). While he wrote excellent music, many people think his operas are too dark and serious, lacking the fun common in operas written before his time.Wagner, on the other hand, thought the opera of his time was too simple. He wanted to make opera a serious form of art that combined drama and music to tell deep stories that would have a strong effect on the audience.Some people thought Wagners new kind of music was too different from the operas they were used to hearing. Wagner agreed with them. In fact, he didnt call his works operas at all, using instead a German word that means Musical Festival or Musical play.While many people today still do not like Wagners operas, they cannot deny that Wagner has had a lot of influence on opera as a form of art. Wagner invented the tradition of turning off the lights before starting a play. He also was the first person to make the whole audience sit down for an entire play. Today, almost all operas are performed in this manner.Wagner as a man was even more controversial than Wagner as a writer of music. He hated Jewish people, slept with his friends wives, and made many people angry-things we would today think of as evil. Some would say he was a good musician, while others that he was a bad musician. But it would be difficult to say he was not an important person in music and in the world.56. Which of the following best express the main idea of the passage?A. Richard Wagner is not worth talking about.B. Richard Wagner is an evil man.C. Richard Wagner writes opera.D. Richard Wagner is a very controversial man.57. Which of the following uses the word deep in the same sense as it is used at the end of paragraph three?A. The ocean is very deep.B. He has a very deep, booming voice.C. It is not easy to tell the meaning of this poem, because the poet is very deep.D. I have deep pockets.58. What is not a way in which Wagners work was different from normal opera of his time?A. Wagner called his works Musical Festivals.B. Wagner used a combination of drama, music on instruments, and singing.C. Wagner turned off the lights before starting a play.D. Wagner made the whole audience sit down for an entire performance.59. Which of the following bits of information does not support the point the author makes in the last sentence?A. Few musicians have been affected by Wagners work.B. Most writers of opera today think opera as a serious form of music.C. Today, all operas are performed with the lights off and the audience seated.D. Wagners music had a big influence on Adolf Hitler.BThis passage is from a play. Words in italics are descriptions of the room and of things people are doing.

They are born in small, fresh water rivers. They live in the river for a year, and then swim downstream to a bigger river and eventually to the ocean. In the saltwater, they eat constantly and grow very quickly. While they live in the ocean, salmon are silver colored.After several years at sea, the salmon grow very long and heavy. Then, as if by magic, they all begin to swim home. Each salmon somehow remembers where it was born and swims to the very same area in the small river.It is a long, difficult journey home. Once the salmon enter freshwater, they stop eating. They also change colors. Some salmon turn red, others brown and grey, and some turn pink. Some salmon grow a large bulge on their back, called a bump. These salmon fight to swim up-stream against the current of sometimes very powerful rivers. They jump over waterfalls and have to avoid bears, birds, and fishermen.Finally, the salmon that survive mate in the same river in which they were born. Then, after all that work, they die! These salmon still play an important role. Their dead bodies help to provide nutrition to the animals that live in and around the river. When their eggs hatch, the cycle will start again.64. In Paragraph 2, the clause as if by magic suggests that _A. a magician helps salmonB. nobody knows how salmon find their way homeC. the author doesnt know much about salmonD. salmon are magic65. Which of the following do salmon not do when they reenter freshwater?A. They change colors. B. They stop eating.C. They grow bulges on their backs. D. They grow teeth.66. Inferring from the passage, why do salmon eat a lot while they are in the ocean? Because _.A. they need to have enough energy to return homeB. they never stop swimmingC. they are afraid of bearsD. the different water makes them hungry67. Salmon return to fresh water in order to _.A. mateB. provide nutrition to other animalsC. mate and provide nutrition to other animalsD. make a difficult journeyDMaybe ten-year- old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, But, Dad, you can t be healthy if you re dead.Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a mistake 75 % of the US population make every day. The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Myth Number One: Its best to be thrown dear of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to throw you clear is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are youll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are thrown clear.Myth Number Two: Safety belts trap people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety be
