australia. the simpsons had been told that they might see some whales when they were _37_ a yacht a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing _38_ around the whitsunday islands. _39_, they had no clue just how _40_ their viewing would be. two hours into their journey a 9-meter-long humpback whale （座头鲸）_41_ out of the ocean and _42_ their boat before returning to the water.mark simpson, the eldest son, was sailing the yacht _43_ he heard an immense bang and a thud （重击声）.he immediately thought the yacht had hit a rock. however, when he looked up, he saw the whale sliding down the deck of the boat. he told the reporters, “we were staring into its right eye. it was a very frightening moment. the eye was about the _44_ of a dinner plate. it was huge.”_45_ for the simpson family, no one was hurt, but the yacht suffered _46_ damage. the whale had ruined the mast（桅杆）and rigging（索具）- the pole and ropes which hold the _47_ - and so the family was left _48_ at sea, 10 miles from the shore. the _49_ equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a mobile phone and were able to call for _50_.why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a _51_, but the family thinks that maybe the boat had _52_ sailed between the whale and its baby calf. perhaps the whale was trying to _53_ its calf when it jumped, hitting the yacht by chance.whatever the reason, people are completely _54_ that this incident happened. there is over 135 million square miles of ocean, so what are the _55_ of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? the chance of something like this happening is extremely small, but it just shows that life is full of surprises.36.a. tob. offc. ind. along37.a. hiringb. sittingc. sellingd. diving38.a. competitionb. gamec. terminald. trip39.a. moreoverb. somehowc. therefored.

was a hot summer day. my dad and i were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat with my friend katie and the dog when the phone call came, the call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, gloomy one.i had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top, and packed my bag with sunscreen and everything else i would need for the day. i ran into my parents room to find dad. when i saw him on the phone, he was crying. id never seen my dad cry before. my heart sank. what possibly could have happened?max, im so sorry, i heard him say. thats when it hit me. i knew that suzie had died. max has been my dads best friend for years. suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. her brain was ok. she knew what was going on; she knew that she had problems and was different from other kids. once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. yet although she couldnt live a normal life, she was still happy.when suzie and i were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. as we grew up, we grew apart. she lived in new york, and i lived in the midwest. when suzie was ten she had to live in a hospital in virginia. about eight months before she died, max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked at least twice a week until the end. suzie was always so excited to talk to us and wanted to know every detail about my life. she wanted to know everything i did and everything i ate. in a way, she lived through me. after we found out about her death, we made our plans to go to new york for the funeral. when she was alive, i sent her a beanie baby and she sent one back to me. i had bought her another one but never had the chance to send it to her, so i took it to put in her casket(棺材).her funeral was very different from any funeral id ever been to. after they lowered her casket, each one of us put a shovelful of dirt over her. i remember crying so hard, i felt weak. my cheeks burned from the tears. my whole body was shaking as i picked up the shovel, but im glad i did it.when suzie and i first started calling one another, i thought it would be more of a burden on me, but i was completely wrong. i learned so much from her. she gave me more than i could ever give to her. i will never forget her or the talks we had. i now know that i must never take anything for granted especially my health and the gift of life.56the authors family cancelled their ride because_.akatie couldnt join them for the ride bthe weather was too terrible for a ridecthey couldnt find their dog dmaxs daughter passed away57what does the underlined part “in a way, she lived through me.” mean? asuzie got to know what life outside hospital was like by sharing my experience. bsuzie was financially dependent of me. csuzie managed to pull through her illness with the help of my family.dsuzie was too weak to live her own life.58which of the following is true according to the text? asuzie was the only person helping the author with difficulties. bthe author feared that she might also get the same disease as suzie. cthe author benefited a lot from talking on the phone with suzie.dthe author didnt understand suzie was her true friend until suzies death.59what is the most important lesson the author learned from suzies death? anever let go of a friend even if you are apart.bbe thankful for what we have in our life. ctalking with a friend can cure your illness. dwe can learn more from our friends than they do from us.bany foreigner who has tried to learn chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. and anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning chinese. writing in the online edition of nature neuroscience, researchers from northwestern university say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调).one of the studys authors, nina kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”. this means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, dr.kraus said. she said music training might also help children with language problems. mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than english speakers do. this is because in mandarin and other asian languages, pitch plays a central role. a single-syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.for this study, the researchers looked at 20 non-chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.as they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings：honey, bewilder and rice. the researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the chinese sounds. the lead author of the study, patrick cm.wong, said it might work both ways. it appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.60. when learning chinese, a foreigner will find _.a. he has a difficult time learning music at the same timeb. he has an easier time learning music at the same timec. it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understandd. it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch61. why does chinese learning have something to do with music training?a. because there is the same difficulty in learning chinese and music.b. because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.c. because music training might help people with language studyd. because people who do well in chinese study do well in music.62. the underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “_”. a. created b. spelled c. seemed d. pronounced63. what would be the best title for this passage?a. mandarin speakers are smarter than english speakersb. skilled ear for music may help language studyc. pitch plays a central role in chinese learningd. schools need to develop music programsccosmo books ltd., 14, woodman road,hertford estate, two bridges,rickmansworth, west sussex.middx. 25th februarydear sir,just over six months ago, i saw an advertisement in the morning mail for a set of the complete works of william shakespeare. your company, cosmo books ltd., offered this set ( eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a remarkable price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. i had wanted a set of shakespeares plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so i sent for them.two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of charles dickens which i had not ordered. so i returned the dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of shakespeare. two more weeks passed. then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of shakespeare, the same set of novels by dickens and a six book set of the plays of moliere, in french. since i do not read french, these were of no use to me at all. however, i could not afford to post all these books back to you, so i wrote to you at the end of august of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that i did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.you did not reply to that letter. instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds , and a set of the plays of schiller, in german. since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of goethe, the poems of milton, the plays of strindberg; i hardly know what i have. the books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.i have no room for any more books, and even if i read from now until the last judgement, i should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of shakespeare for which i have paid.yours faithfully, simon walker64. the advertisement that mr. walker saw in the morning mail was for _. a. unlimited numb
