work, and i headed home quickly. mom and dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since i was seven. i hated going there every weekend. there was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old tv set, if the weather allowed reception. my mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in the garden among her flowers and vegetables. the place was simple, with no indoor pipes or heating. we had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me. in the evenings, my mom and i would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. i sang the rhythm and mom harmonized. her favorite song was moon river and we sang it over and over. mom told me stories about how when i was a little girl, i could sing before i could talk. she loved to tell there was one song i particularly loved called ivory tower. as time passed, i had my own children and went to visit every week or two. the kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. me, well, i still hated the silence of the farm. while my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, i missed the hustle and bustle(喧闹) of my life at home. but i sat there listening quietly as she reminisced. now, i sat back in the silence and turned on an old radio. music always comforted me. my heart skipped a beat. moon river was playing on the radio. i sat there shocked, with a tear running down my cheek, as i listened to every familiar note. then the radio announcer of this old station came on. heres one we havent heard in a while, and an unfamiliar song began. i began to cry harder as i heard the words sung over the airwaves come down, come down from your ivory tower.26. the writer didnt like staying in the farm for the following reasons except that _. a. it was too cold and quiet b. she could only sing one song in the small farmc.there was nothing more that could make her excited d. it had no indoor pipes or heating27. from the first paragraph, we know that the writers mother _. a. passed away four years ago b. left the small farmc.

ivory tower. d. the writer treasured all her childhood memories in the small farmhouse. 30. which would be the best title for this passage? a. cherish life b. my happy childhoodc. our small farmhouse d. moms musicbdogs wag(摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found. researchers in italy examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli(刺激物) with video cameras. to conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. the dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at ban university. the dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. they were tested one at a time. the researchers led by professor giorgio vallortigara of the university of trieste found that when the dogs were shown their ownersa positive experiencetheir tails wagged energetically to the right side. when they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. the appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. the appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a german shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back. when the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. while the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood of dogs. computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach. 31.the video cameras were used to catch the dogs responses because _ . a. it was easier to catch the dogsresponse changes in the tail wagging b. the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time. c. they enabled the dogsowners to know about their dogshabit

people choose their pet dogscgeorge gershwin, born in 1998, was one of americas greatest composers. he published his first song when he was eighteen years old. during the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs. many of gershwins songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in new york city. these plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. many of his songs have remained popular as ever. over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way from jazz to country. in the 1920s there was a debate in the united states about jazz music. could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? in 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader paul whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. and in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called rhapsody in blue. gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. the audience were thrilled when they heard his music. it made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. in 1928, gershwin went to paris. he applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician nadia boulanger, but she rejected him. she was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. while there, gershwin wrote an american in paris. when it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. but it quickly became popular in europe and the united states. it still remains one of his most famous works. george gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. he was only thirty-nine years old. newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. people mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written. 36.many of gershwins musical works were _. a. written about new yorkers b. composed for paul whiteman c. played mainly in the countrysided. performed in various ways 37. what do we know about the concert organized by whiteman?a. it attracted more people to theatres.b. it proved jazz could be serious music. c. it made gershwin leader of the orchestra. d. it caused a debate among jazz musicians. 38. what did gershwin do during his stay in paris? a. he created one of his best works b. he studied with nadia boulanger c. he argued with french critics d. he changed his music style39. what do we learn from the last paragraph? a. many of gershwins works were lost. b. the death of gershwin was widely reported. c. a concert was held in memory of gershwin. d. brain cancer research started after gershwins death. 40. which of the following best describes gershwin? a. talented and productive b. serious and boring c. popular and unhappy d. friendly and honest dwhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.for kids, happiness has a magical quality. their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的).in the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. suddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. i can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.in adulthood the things that bring deep joylove, marriage, birthalso bring responsibility and the risk of loss. for adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的) .my definition of happiness is the capacity for enjoyment. the more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.i experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. first i was overjoyed when i shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. then i spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which i love. when the kids and my husband came home, i enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. i dont think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. she did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.we, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have. were so self-conscious about our right to it that its making us miserable. so we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier.happiness isnt about what happens to us-its about how we see what happens to us. its the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. its not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess.41. as people grow older, they _.a. feel it harder to experience happiness b. associate their happiness less with othersc. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness d. tend to believe responsibility means happiness42. what can we learn about the author from paragraphs 5 and 6?a she cares little about her own health b she enjoys the freedom of travelingc. she is easily pleased by things in daily life.d. she prefers getting pleasure from housework43.what can be inferred from paragraph 7?a. psychologists think satisfying work is key to happinessb. psychologists opinion is well proved by grandmas case.c. grandma often found time for social gatheringsd.grandmas happiness came from modest expectations of life,44. people who equal happiness with wealth and success _.a. consider pressure something blocking their wayb. stress their right to happiness too muchc. are at a loss to make correct choicesd. are more likely to be happy45. what can be concluded from the passage?a. happiness lies between the positive and the negative. b. each man is the master of his own fate.c. success leads to happiness. d. happy is he who is
