both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music, and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence. as a teenager, clinton played saxophone in a band. townshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist for a band called the who. he is one of the first rock musicians to call the publics attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music. temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15 minutes of listening to loud music. one early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones. one later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert. what happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but theyre not dead, says physician and ear specialist dr. sam levine. according to dr. levine, if you avoid further exposure to loud noise, its possible to recondition the cells somewhat. however, he adds, eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged. and this is no small problem. what sound level is dangerous? according to dr. levine, regular exposure to noise above 85 decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous. the chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds. heres another measurement you can use. if youre at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you re at risk for hearing loss. thats when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical. the facts are pretty frightening. but are rock bands turning down the volume.? most arent. rock music is supposed to be loud, says drummer andrew sather. i wouldnt have it any other way. and neither would the real fans of rock. continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, according to dr. levine. he states, theres no cure for hearing loss. your ears are trying to tell you something. that ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying. each time that happens, more and more damage is done. levels of common noisesnormal conversation 50 65 dbfood blender 88 dbjet plane flying above a person standing outside 103 dbrock band during a concert 110 140 db28. from paragraph 1, we can learn that . a. loud music is a major cause of hearing loss b. famous people tend to have hearing problems c. teenagers should stay away from school bands d. the problem of hearing damage is widely known29. in paragraph 3, the underlined word recondition means . a. not to be seen b. to fill with sound c. to become larger in size d. to make good again30. the purpose of the chart at the end of the article is to show . a. a list of harmful sounds b. the effect of rock concerts c. the noise levels of familiar sounds d. relationship between daily activities and hearing loss31. which of the following statements will dr. sam levine probably agree?

a. most australians. b. alison lane. c. smith. d. jones.33. what does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 3 ? a. the results from studies are valuable in animal preservation. b. scientific research at the marine parks has its limitations. c. captive animals have biology changes in marine parks. d. human behavior causes harmful effects on the animals.34. which is not the reason to keep marine parks? a. for entertainment purpose. b. for scientific research purpose. c. for economic purpose. d. for political purpose.35. the author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by . a. pointing out the problems with keeping the marine parksb. using evidence he has collected at the marine parksc. discussing the advantages of animals natural homesd. questioning the way the animals are studied第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。stage fright imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time. you have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering and taking their seats. then your big moment arrives! the curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. all you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. 36 the inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet. if you have experienced a moment like this, you know all too well what it means to have stage fright. it is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves at the center of attention. 37 people experience this fear when playing sports, giving a presentation, or even speaking in class. a person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a tight throat, or shaky knees. stage fright is actually a form of panic, and these feelings are very real. 38 the experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical process occurs in each of us. in reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. scientists refer to this as our bodies fight or flight reaction. as a result, we feel great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race, and our knees shake. 39 practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. first, dress comfortably and appropriately. second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine. 40 instead, try a banana! some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body. finally, when you look into a crowd, try to focus on particular people instead of the whole group. these tips have helped many people learn to deal with their fears.a. these might make your heart race even faster.b. you dont have to be onstage to get stage fright.c. stage fright is part of the bodys reaction to stress.d. you try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out.e. with practice, we can learn how to relax while playing sports.f. the good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it.g. however, there is a time when stage fright prevents you from stepping onstage.第三部分 （英语知识应用 共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）this was my grandmothers first christmas without grandfather, and before he passed away we had promised grandfather that we would make this her best christmas ever. when my parents and i 41 at her house, we found she had waited up all night for us. the house did seem a little 42 without grandfather. grandfather had always said that the christmas 43 was the most important decoration of all. so we immediately set to work on the beautiful artificial tree that was stored in grandfathers closet (壁橱). through our efforts, we finally stepped back to 44 our handiwork. it looked beautiful. 45 something was missing. where s your star?
