We know that words and music themselves havent traveled all that distance through space, but something certainly is bringing the program from the station. What is this silent carrier?The answer is radio waves. We can see radio waves or feel them or even hear them. In fact, nobody knows exactly what they are. But we do know that they are made by electricity, and we have learned how to use them.At the broadcasting station people talk or sing, instruments play, doors slam（砰然声）, and all of these make sound waves. The sound waves reach the microphone（麦克风）, and here they are changed into electricity. Then from a tall tower called the broadcasting aerial（天线）, electricity sends radio waves. The waves travel in every direction，and some of them reach our radio aerial. Now a wonderful thing happens. The radio waves start an electric current（电流）in our aerial like the one that was first made in the broadcasting station. Finally, the loudspeaker in your set changes electricity into sound, and we hear the program.1. What happens when we turn on the radio?A. A picture appears.B. Words and music travel to you.C.

Broadcasting StationBAlthough Beethoven could sit down and make up music easily, his really great compositions did not come easily at all. They cost him a great deal of hard work. We know now he often rewrote and corrected his work because his notebooks are still kept in museums and libraries. He always found it hard to satisfy himself.When he was 28，the worst difficulty of all came to him. He began to notice a strange humming in his ears. At first he paid little attention，but it grew worse，and at last he consulted doctors. They gave him the worst news any musician can hear：he was gradually going deaf. Beethoven was in despair；he was sure that he was going to die.He went away to the country，to a place called Heiligenstadt，and from there he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers. In this letter he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made him.“It was impossible for me to ask men to speak louder or shout，for I am deaf，” he wrote.“How could I possibly admit an infirmity in the one sense (hearing) which should have been more perfect in me than in others.? I must live like an exile.” He longed to die，and said to death，“Come when you will，I shall meet you bravely.”In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music. He wrote his best music, the music we remember him for, after he became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the elegant and stately music that earlier musicians had written for their wealthy listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting, revolutionary music, which reminds us of his troubled and courageous life. 5. In the first paragraph we are told that Beethoven found that writing great music _.A. was easy B. was difficultC. was straightforward D. easily satisfied him6. Beethoven knew that he was going deaf _.A. when he could not hear himself talkingB. when he heard a humming noiseC. when the humming noise grew louderD. when the doctor told him7. After he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers, Beethoven _.A. courageously continued to write musicB. died bravelyC. wrote more faintlyD. regained his hearing8. Which of these words best describes Beethovens music when his hearing began to fail?A. Stately. B. Forceful.C. Elegant. D. Loud.CWhen you feel tired，how do you relax？Drink coffee，take a bath，do some exercise，or play some music or dance?For dance music fans and nightclub lovers, the world famous English DJ (disco jockey) Sasha will bring them the worlds finest dance music. He is coming to Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai on November 1820 as part of his world tour in support of his new CD.One of the main roles of music has always been going with dancing. However, todays dance music is very different from that of the past. The history of dance music goes back to the 16th century. In the Renaissance(文艺复兴) and Baroque(巴洛克) periods in Europe，rich people were expected to be able to dance at social events. Each type of dance gave rise to its own form of music.During the 18th and 19th centuries the most popular dances were the waltz (华尔兹舞) and the polka (波尔卡舞)In this period，dances were often written for the concert hall. For example，symphonies (交响乐) would have a waltz movement，and piano pieces were sometimes in waltz or polka.In the 1970s，dance music moved into new places called Discos. The music was faster，had more bass and started to become more electronic. Disco music began to develop in the US and around Europe. By the 1980s the music became much faster and even more electronic.In the 1990s clubs took over discos. DJs mixed other peoples music. Club dance rhythms (韵律) became a major part of popular music. Club dance music has different forms, including drum and bass (低音乐器)，hiphop，R & BIt makes use of technology and DJs to play a bigger part in spreading the music.9. Which of the following does not show the difference between todays dance music and that of the past?A. Greater variety of forms.B. More technology is made use of.C. The music is faster.D. Todays music is more professional.10. From the third paragraph, we can see that _.A. dancing cannot be separated from musicB. in the 16th century，people still did not have much social lifeC. peoples social needs resulted in the birth of different types of dance musicD. the time can tell the difference between todays dance music and that of the past11.

According to the passage, a DJs job is mainly to _.A. choose and play music using technologyB. create music for the clubC. put different music forms togetherD. develop disco musicDFarming onlineA revolution in attitude toward farming is taking place among teenagers. The new deal is, “Youre OUT if youre not a farmer！”Only, its not real farming that is causing such enthusiasm，but virtual(虚拟的) farming in online games.An Ting, who goes by the name of “LeBron” in cyber space, was an active online farmer during summer holidays. Each day, the first thing the 17yearold did after turning on his computer was grow crops and steal vegetables.He was playing QQs “Happy Farm”. In the game, he did all the planting, watering, fertilizing(施肥), spraying(杀虫), harvesting and selling of his virtual vegetables, fruits and flowers. The moments LeBron most enjoyed were when he got to steal produce from his friends farms. His hard work raised his online level and so helped him get progressively(逐渐地) larger farms.“Climbing to higher levels playing Happy Farm gave me a taste of success, ”said LeBron. He added，“It helped me kill time during the holidays.”Now that he is back in school，he rarely has access to the Internet. Is his farm deserted(荒芜的) now that he has logged off(下线) from the game?“No. My father takes care of my farm when he is free,” said the young “farmer”, who proudly said that he had taught his parents how to play “Happy Farm”.When she heard that everyone around her was talking about the social networking site “Kaixin 001” about a year ago, 15yearold Tang Shujun joined up to find out what all the fuss(激动) was about. The biggest attraction of the site turned out to be a farming game which covered stealing vegetables. She quickly became hooked(入迷的).“The game allows me to interact(交流) with my friends,” said the Shanghai teenager. “When I steal vegetables，I can check their status updates and find out their current moods and moves.”Tang says that she no longer plays the game with the same fervor(热情) as she did at the beginning. However，some of her friends are continuing to work hard on their farms，even in the new school semester. They log on via(通过) their cellphones or try to make up for their losses at weekends.“Games are just games. When school starts again，I need to focus on my academic work，”she said.13. Whats the authors purpose of writing this passage?A. To encourage the public to farm on the Internet.B. To teach teenagers how to farm on the Internet.C. To warn us against being hooked in farming online.D. To introduce the popularity of farming online among teenagers.14. From the second paragraph, we know that “LeBron” is _.A. the name of a websiteB. the online name of a farmerC. the name of a countryD. the name of a foreign farmer15. What did An Ting do with his farm when he was back to school?A. He deserted his farm.B. He sold his farm.C. He still played his farm.D. He asked his parents to look after his farm.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is one thing that everyone wants more than anything else. _16_They think that when they have enough money to buy such things as houses, farms and cars, they will have the one thing that everyone wants.Other people believe that if they know enough they will find this thing. _17_Still others think that if they have power, they will find this thing.
