But have you heard the music? The latest Harry Potter news is that bands form to play what is called “wizard rock” or sometimes just “wrock”.The new kind of music began when Joe De George and his brother Paul decided that the characters from Harry Potter would make a great band. Ron on guitar, Hermione on bass, Hagrid on drums and Harry singing up front would make for an excellent group. In one day, the brothers wrote, rehearsed and performed six songs about life at Hogwarts. After the first performance, Paul decided that “we are Harry and the potters.” Wizard rock is pretty much what it sounds like: rock “n” rock inspired by and set in the world of Harry Potter. The De George started a trend. Today there are dozens of wizard-rock bands: the Whomping Willows, the Remus Lupins and the Moaning Myrtles to name a few. Rockers dress like Hogwarts students and play at conventions and festivals. People who like Harry Potter think wizard rock music is totally awesome. The songs can be funny, but the music is not a joke. Just ask the De George brothers. Theyve played more than 500 shows in 49 states and their hit songs are inspired by characters from Harry Potter: “Save Ginny Weasley” and “Voldemort Cant Stop the Rock!” The themes of their music are the same as those of Rowlings books: love and friendship, upset and struggle. Wizard rock is just one more by-product in the Harry Potter craze. Two years after J.K. Rowling published her last book in the series, Potter popularity continues to grow. There are Potter conventions and Potter clubs that try to get kids and grow-ups to help fight hunger, for example. And the fact that they may do it while humming “Wizard Chess” or “Platform 9” makes those meetings fun.51. What is the text mainly about? A. Harry Potter. B. Harry Potters music. C. Wizard rock. D. Joe and Pauls band.52. The underlined word “awesome” in Pa4 probably means _ in the text . A. amusing B. serious C. considerate D. inviting53. Which of the following is true about wizard rock? A. Its no different from rock “n” rock. B. Its sung in the films Harry Potter. C. Its a funny business. D. It follows the themes in Rowlings books.54. According to the last paragraph, we can learn that _ . A. Harry Potter has had great effects in many aspects B. Harry Potter is very popular in the world C. Wizard rock is Harry Potters only by-product D. Potters clubs have helped the hungry B. A federal judge sentenced Bruce Jones to 12 years in federal prison for fraud (诈骗罪). Over a 10-year period, Jones had managed to cheat thousands of people throughout the state out of almost $10 million. He advertised his fantastic ideas on TV. For some reason, Jones said, TV seems to break the ice. Even though you are a total stranger to the viewer, once he sees you on TV in his home, he feels like he knows you. You enter his living room and become a trusted friend. Jones had an imagination that wouldnt quit. One time he showed viewers an official government earthquake report which proved that the western half of California would collapse into the sea within three years. For $100, he said, Jones would insure your house and property for full value. Thousands of people who saw that TV ad sent him a hundred dollars each. In another TV ad, Jones claimed that he had come to an agreement with the federal and state government for exclusive（独享的）air rights. He told viewers that, for only $100, they could own the first 10 miles above all their property. You would be able to charge any commercial plane that flew over your property $100 per crossing. You would also be able to charge government rockets, satellites, space shuttles, and space stations $100 for each and every violation of your air rights. Another time, Jones claimed to have invented a product that gets rid of calories. He showed the viewers a spray can of NoCal. He said that by simply spraying NoCal on your food, a chemical interaction would cause all the calories in the food to simply disappear within about 10 seconds. The NoCal was only $10 a can. As usual, Jones received thousands of checks in the mail. The judge told Jones that he should be ashamed of himself. Jones responded that he was very ashamed of himself, and that when he got out of prison he hoped to become a TV adviser to help people avoid getting cheated. He told the judge that he was already developing an instructional CD that, for merely $100, would save people thousands of dollars in scams（骗局）. The judge nodded, and then changed Jones sentence from 10 years to 12 years. 55According to Jones, he could successfully cheat many people mainly because . Ahe promised them a large profit Bthey were too eager to make money Cthey believed too much in TV ads Dhe was skillful in communicating with people 56Which of the following statements is TRUE? AJones showed unusual imagination in his tricks. BJones was closely related to the state government. CWestern California was in danger of going under the sea. DJones felt guilty and was determined to lead a new life. 57We can infer that people who wanted to buy NoCal from Jones . Awere mainly from low income families Ball had a rich knowledge of chemistry Cwere probably interested in losing weight Dusually did the shopping through the Internet 58The judge changed the sentence at last because . AJones was planning another big scam Bhe could hardly believe what Jones had told him CJones had cheated more people than he expected Dhe had suffered from Jones scams himself C. A report, published in last weeks Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a l6-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal (致命) accident as a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.The author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p. m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic thing,” he says, “is that adults who are responsible for issuing (发放) licenses fail to recognize how skilled a task driving is.”Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to reduce the harm is to have so-called graduated licensing systems，in which getting a license is a slower process. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving at night with a limited number of passengers before graduating to get a full driving license.Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes，according to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states have number limitation on passengers. California is the strictest, with a new driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20 for the first six months.59Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?AAdults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after l0 p.m.BA teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.CAdults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.DA teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.60According to Robert Foss，the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _.Atheir frequent driving at nightBtheir lack of driving experienceCtheir improper way of drivingDtheir driving with passengers61Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3?ATeenagers should spend more time learning to drive.BDriving is a skill too difficult for teenagers to learn.CTeenagers should be limited in taking driving lessons.DPeople issuing license are partly responsible for the accidents.62A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers driving accidents is that _.Adriving in the presence of an adult should be made a ruleBthey should be forbidden to take on passengersCthey should not be allowed to drive after l0 p. m.Dthe licensing systems should be improved D. The word “conservation” has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such a good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials: most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and could “last forever”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate s
