delighted to welcome today a representative from the Red Cross,Mr John Francis,who is going to talk to us about the work of the organization and about some basic aspects of First Aid.M:Thank you,Mrs Brown.Well,Im pleased to tell you something about this organization.The Red Cross movement was started by a businessman called Jean Henri Dunant.His interest in the innocent people caught up in war began in 1859 when he witnessed the effects of a very fierce battle in Italy.At the time,he organized all the villagers to help the wounded soldiers and make sure they had food and basic medical attention.In 1864,the same gentleman,together with four Swiss colleagues from his hometown,organized a conference which laid the foundations for the now famous organization.So that Red Cross workers could always be recognised,they created their own symbol.They chose a red cross on a white background.It is protected by the laws.Sometimes we find that the red cross has been used as a decorative symbol or to represent first aid stations but this is actually wrong because using the red cross for anything other than the international organization is actually against the law.Even though we often associate a red cross with hospitals and medical treatment.In Australia,as in many other countries,the recognised symbol for first aid and medical centres,in fact,is a white cross on a green background.17.Where was Jean Dunant from?A.Italy.B.Australia.C.Switzerland.答案:C18.Why was the Red Cross started at first?A.To help the wounded in the war.B.To provide food for the poor.C.To fight against the war.答案:A19.What do we know about the red cross?A.It can be used to represent the first aid stations.B.It can only refer to the international organisation.C.It is an official symbol of hospital and medical treatment.答案:B20.What will Mr John Francis talk about next?A.Something about First Aid.B.The law about the Red Cross.C.The Red Cross organisation in Australia.答案:A第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。AWhats your favorite type of music?Most people may prefer rock and roll,pop or jazz.These types are most publicized(传播) by television and the radio.Country music now would seem to mistakenly belong to the category of rock or pop.Publicity of this category started to drop only after the year 2000;however,it did have its peak years just before the decline(衰落).What people may not know is that this type of music inspired(促成) rock and roll especially with one of the most important figures in music historyElvis Presleywho is known as the “King of Rock and Roll”.Elvis used to be very famous at a radio program which broadcast country music back in the late 1940s.Country is also influenced by jazz and blues.Rock music is not only influenced by jazz and blues but is also heavily influenced by country so that they may even seem similar.Nowadays,country is closely related to pop due to artists preference and popular demand.Starting from the 1980s it slowly divided itself into New and Old Country Music.Legends like Johnny Cash began to slip away because the new perception(理解) of country actually contains pop and his music just doesnt fit the category.Fortunately,country music is still heavily promoted through websites and reviews.Certain types of music nowadays are linked with different age groups.Classical for the people in the mid 19th century,pop in the 1920s,and then theres country.All these types continue to grow and modernize while still appealing to certain age groups.More modern country music tends to become different in their own ways which makes it even harder to identify them as country while,again,remain appealing only to certain age groups.Active promoters of country music videos,however,seem to appeal to a large number of age groups especially those active in Australia.For as long as country isnt mixed with other types,it will eventually regain(重新获得) its charm as music for all ages.21.It can be learned from the first paragraph that country music .A.is most publicized by television and the radioB.used to be liked by more people compared to jazzC.has become less popular since the year 2000D.should be included in the category of rock or pop答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Publicityofthiscategorystartedtodroponlyaftertheyear2000;however,itdidhaveitspeakyearsjustbeforethedecline.”可知,乡村音乐从2000年以来开始衰落。22.Whatistherelationshipbetweenrockmusicandcountrymusic?A.Bothtypesinfluencedtheformationofrockandroll.B.Presleyturnedpopmusicintocountrymusic.C.Theyarebothinfluencedbyjazzandblues.D.Theuseofthesameinstrumentsmakesthemsoundsimilar.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Countryisalsoinfluencedbyjazzandblues.Rockmusictooisinfluencedbyjazzandbluesbutisalsoheavilyinfluencedbycountrysothattheymayevenseemsimilar.”可知,乡村音乐与摇滚音乐都受到过爵士乐和布鲁斯的影响。23.Somelegendsofcountrymusicbegantoslipawaybecause.A.theirsongstotallychangedthestyleofcountrymusicB.theybegantoworkonpopmusicformoreprofitsC.thereisnomarketingspaceforcountrymusicanymoreD.theycantmeetthepopulardemandsoncountrymusic答案:D解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三段信息可知,乡村音乐因为受到艺术家个人喜好和流行乐坛的要求的影响,与流行乐越来越接近,由此可知很多乡村音乐的杰出人物淡出乐坛,是因为他们的风格与潮流要求不吻合。24.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“promoted”inParagraph3probablymean?A.Criticized.B.Competed.C.Spread.D.Enjoyed.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段Fortunately的提示可知,这句话陈述的是和上面情况相对应的现象,即一些网站和评论还是倡导和传播乡村音乐的,因此promote在这里是“传播”的意思。BMusic is an international language.The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.Popular music in America is what every student likes.Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class,after class,and at lunch.Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work.They also listen to the news about sports,the weather,politics,and activities of the American people.Most of the radio broadcast is music.Pop or popular music singers make much money.They make a CD or a tape which radio stations use in every state.Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country,young people buy his or her tapes.Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer.Wherever the singer goes,all the young people want to meet him or her.Now the singer has become a national star.There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans.One is called folk music.It tells stories about the common life of Americans.Another is called western or country music.This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching.Today,any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music.Music for instruments is called orchestra music(管弦乐),such as the symphonies(交响乐)of Beethoven.There is opera(歌剧)for singers.There is ballet(芭蕾舞剧)for dancers like the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.25.In what way can music be regarded as an international language?A.Popular music is what everyone enjoys.B.The songs that are sung or played by instruments are so beautiful and understandable that everyone can enjoy them.C.When music is played,it seems as if it were speaking to us.D.Music is so popular throughout the world that everyone can play it.答案:B解析:推理判断题。本文在开篇第一段即点明“音乐是国际语言”,主要标志就是世界各地的人都喜欢音乐。26.What can we know about music and people in America?A.Student drivers carry small radios with earphones when they drive on the streets.B.Students always listen to music before class,in class and after class.C.Adult drivers listen to news as well as music when they drive to work.D.Adult drivers never listen to music when they drive to work.答案:C解析:细节理解题。由第三段内容可知,只有C项与文中所述一致,其他均不相符。27.How many kinds of music are mentioned in the passage?A.Six.B.Eight.C.Five.D.Seven.答案:D解析:细节理解题。文中共提到七种音乐:pop/popular,folk,western/country,orchestra,symphonies,opera,ballet。28.Country music .A.is a kind of music that is popular in AmericaB.has nothing to do with folk musicC.was only sung by cowboys in the pastD.is not played in the concert halls答案:C解析:推理判断题。乡村音乐今昔有别,当初是牛仔唱给牛听的,现在任何关于乡村生活或乡村青年爱情的音乐都可称为西部音乐或乡村音乐。CYou have probably heard of the Mozart effect.Its the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart,they will become more intelligent.A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task.Whatever your age is there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozarts music,but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever,the picture is more mixed.The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991,but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain.It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable.Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself;his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it,well become more intelligent.The idea took off,with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children,and in 1998 Zell Miller,the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US,even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music.It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozarts music on purpose,even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them produce better milk.Ill leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers,but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent?More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally,but the benefits are short-lived and it doesnt make us more intelligent.29.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.B.Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.C.There are few products on the Internet about Mozarts music.D.There is little scientific evidence to support the Mozart effect.答案:D解析:细节理解题。从第一段的句子“.butwhenitcomestoscientificevidencethatitcanmakeyoumoreclever,thepictureismoremixed.”可知没有什么科学证据来支持莫扎特效应的影响。30.WhydidmanypeoplebelieveintheideaoftheMozarteffect?A.BecauseastudydescribeditinthejournalNature.B.BecauseMozarthimselfwasagenius.C.BecauseMozartsmusicisenjoyable.D.BecauseMozartsmusicmakespeoplerelaxed.答案:B解析:细节理解题。从文章第二段的句子“Mozartwasundoubtedlyageniushimself;hismusiciscomplexandthereisahopethatifwelistentoenoughofit,wellbecomemoreintelligent.”可知很多人相信莫扎特效应,因为莫扎特自己就是个天才。31.TheunderlinedsentenceinParagraph3suggeststhat.A.peoplewerestronglyagainsttheideaB.theideawasacceptedbymanypeopleC.MozartplayedanimportantpartinpeopleslifeD.theUSgovernmenthelpedpromotetheidea答案:B解析:句意理解题。从第三段句子“Theideatookoff,withthousandsofparentsplayingMozarttotheirchildren”很多父母给孩子听莫扎特的音乐,可知这句话表明这种想法被许多人接受,故选B项。32.WhatistheauthorsattitudetowardstheMozarteffect?A.Favorable.B.Objective.C.Doubtful.D.Positive.答案:C解析:推理判断题。从文章第四段的句子“Moreresearchwascarriedoutbutananalysisofsixteendifferentstudiesconfirmedthatlisteningtomusicdoesleadtoatemporaryimprovementintheabilitytohandleshapesmentally,butthebenefitsareshort-livedanditdoesntmakeusmoreintelligent.”可知作者对莫扎特效应的影响持怀疑态度,故选C项。D导学号36224025For five days,Edmontons Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents,and where people are able to celebrate(庆祝) and enjoy themselves.Since its beginning in 1980,the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating(纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and thats the traditional togetherness that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her ti
