born with this ability. _2_，experiments show that many animals are，too.for example，many birds have good number sense.if a nest has four eggs and you remove one，the bird will not _3_.however，if you remove two，the bird _4_ leaves.this means that the bird knows the _5_ between two and three.another interesting experiment showed a birds _6_ number sense.a man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower，but the crow always left when she saw him coming.the bird did not _7_ until the man left the tower.the man had an _8_.he took another man with him to the tower.one man left and the other stayed，but they did not _9_ the bird.the crow stayed away until the second man left，too.the experiment was _10_ with three men and then with four men.but the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were _11_.it was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were _12_ able to fool the crow.how good is a humans number sense? its not very good.for example，babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a _13_ group.but when the number goes beyond three or four，the children are _14_ fooled.it seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world，and that our human _15_ is not much better than a crows.(2013广东)1a.rise bpatterncchange dtrend2a.importantly

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 wayfrom 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 worldfamous 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 wellknown musician nadia boulanger，but she rejected him.she was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazzinfluenced 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 stilly 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 thirtynine 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.(2013山东，b)26many of gershwins musical works were_.awritten about new yorkersbcomposed for paul whitemancplayed mainly in the countrysidedperformed in various ways27what do we know about the concert organized by whiteman?ait attracted more people to theatres.bit proved jazz could be serious music.cit made gershwin leader of the orchestra.dit caused a debate among jazz musicians.28what did gershwin do during his stay in paris?ahe created one of his best works.bhe studied with nadia boulanger.che argued with french critics.dhe changed his music style.29what do we learn from the last paragraph?amany of gershwins works were lost.bthe death of gershwin was widely reported.ca concert was held in memory of gershwin.dbrain cancer research started after gershwins death.30which of the following best describes gershwin?atalented and productive. bserious and boring.cpopular and unhappy. dfriendly and honest.bwhile the world is turning to green energy，there is a trend in the united states to take “green medicine”“green medicine”，which refers to herbal and chinese medicine，has become another choice for americans to keep healthy.naturopathic(自然疗法的) medicine includes traditional chinese medicine，such as herbal medicine，natural treatment and acupuncture.although there are different ways to use herbal medicine for treatment from europe，and asia，traditional chinese medicine is absolutely very influential in the united states and other countries.it is not easy to become a naturopathic doctor since it requires four years of medical education at postgraduate level medical schools.a naturopathic doctor has to pass exams to get a doctors license to practice and receive additional education to provide herbal medicine and other treatment such as acupuncture for patients.naturopathic doctors can have their own stores to provide herbal and chinese medicines to the patients.a_recent_study_showed_that_herbal_products_have_gained_increasing_popularity_in_the_united_states_in_the_last_decade，and_are_now_used_by_approximately_20_percent_of_the_us_population.herbal products are complex mixtures of organic chemicals that may come from any raw or processed part of a plant，including leaves，stems，flowers，roots，and seeds.however，under the current us law，herbs are defined as dietary supplements，and producers can therefore produce，sell，and market herbs without first demonstrating safety and efficiency，as is required for drugs.most prescription drugs(处方药) are from chemicals and have side effects.when people are turning to green energy to save the earth，more americans like to try a more natural way to treat diseases，and herbal and chinese medicines are their choices.31what can be the best title of the passage?agoing natural，more americans choose herbal and chinese medicinebnaturopathic medicine is absolutely influential in the worldcmore americans like to try prescription drugsdherbal products can be produced and sold without showing safety32“green medicine” probably refers to “_”aherbal products and drugsbherbal and chinese medicinecmixtures of organic chemicalsddietary supplements33a naturopathic doctor_.amust study for four years at graduate level medical schoolsbcan provide herbal medicines to the patients after graduatingchas to receive additional education to provide treatmentdcan get a doctors license after studying and practice in hospital34what can be inferred from the underlined part in paragraph 4?aamericans have imported a lot of medicine lately.bherbal products in the us are a big business.cmost people are still against herbal products.damericans tend to give up chemical products.35why do the americans often turn to green medicine and energy?atraditional chinese medicine is very influential.bmost prescription drugs are from harmful chemicals.cgreen medicine is more natural and friendly to the earth.dherbs are safe and can be used as supplements for foods.cthere are many things people do with their spare time.have you ever thought about tuning(调音) your own piano for fun and profit？are you a piano teacher or player who really does not want the expense of hiring a piano tuner and feels that you could do it yourself with a little training？well，this is your lucky day.all you need are the right tools，a piano and patience.so，why would i want to tune my piano？there are many reasons for tuning your own piano.it is a very pleasant thing to do.you can make up to $80 each time tuning other peoples pianos.there are millions of pianos in the world and thousands of new ones are being sold every day.there are not enough piano tuners available to tune them all.you can provide a valuable service for friends，family and others.you can teach yourself very cheaply and then develop it into a parttime or fulltime business.you may have thought that only a trained expert could do this，someone who had devoted years of study and developed a sense of perfect pitch(音高)in the past，tuning a piano was as much an art form as it was a technology exercise，but now the balance is swaying(摇动) more towards the technology and the final result is as good or even better than tuning by ear.a few simple tools and a laptop computer with tuning software are all that are required.the real secret is the tuning software，which makes the whole process extremely easy.it means you do not have to train your ears but just look at the laptop screen to know when the piano string is in tune.i have put together an ebook in my website with all the information you need to get started tuning your own piano，where to get the free software and where to buy the tools.i hope i have inspired you to think about piano tuning and actually give it a go.you will find it a very rewarding and pleasant activity even if it remains just a hobby.36the writer asks two questions in the first paragraph to_.ashow his doubt on
