your cellphone suddenly stops working，dont blame the service provider.the malfunction (故障) might have been caused by something biggera solar storm.experts expect that the earth will see more solar activities in the near future.the malfunction of electronic devices is just one of the effects.sunspots (太阳黑子) serve as an indicator of the suns activity.for the past two years，sunspots have mostly been missing.their absence，the longest in nearly 100 years，has taken even sun watchers by surprise.when the number of sunspots drops at the end of each 11year cycle，solar storms die down and all become much calmer.this “solar minimum” doesnt last long.within a year，sunspots and solar storms begin to build toward a new crescendo，the next solar maximum.whats special about this latest cycle is that the sun is having trouble starting the next solar cycle.the sun began to calm down in late 2007，so no one expected many sunspots in 2008.they should return in 2010.scientists have predicted that the next solar cycle could be the most active on record：more sunspots and more solar storms.however，sunspots are mostly missing now.since the earth is in close contact with the sun，strong solar activities can bring trouble to our life.people of the 21st century rely on hightech systems for the basics of daily life.air travel and radio communications can be affected by strong solar activities.a big solar storm could cause 20 times more economic damage than hurricane katrina.what the sun will do next is beyond our ability to predict.most astronomers think that the solar cycle will go on but at low level.however，there is also evidence that the sun is losing its ability to produce sunspots.by 2015，they could be gone altogether.56.the sun watchers feel surprised at _.a.the longest sunspots absenceb.the largest sunspot numberc.the malfunction of electronic devicesd.the serious damage by sunspots57.what does the underlined word “crescendo” in paragraph 3 most probably

century,25,000 pianos were sold in the united states each year and，with over half a million youths learning to play the instrument，there was a huge demand for sheet music (活页乐谱).indeed the demand was so huge that publishers rushed to enter the profitable market.during the last fifteen years of the century，many publishers began to set up shops in new york，the center for the production of the musical arts.by the turn of the nineteenth century many important publishers had their offices on 28th street between broadway and 5th avenue，and this is the area that became known as tin pan alley.it was here that publishers adopted new，aggressive business practices and marketing techniques to achieve great sales.how it became to be known by that name is unclear，but the general opinion is that it is down to a visiting journalist by the name of monroe rosenfeld.he described the area as being drowned in the noise coming from the producers offices，sounding as though hundreds of people were hitting tin pans (锡锅).he used it several times in his newspaper articles in the early twentieth century and the term stuck.with time this name was popularly embraced and many years later it came to describe the us music publishing industry in general.the start of tin pan alley is usually dated to about 1885，but the end of tin pan alley is less clearcut.some date it to the start of the great depression in the 1930s when the phonograph (留声机) and radio replaced sheet music as the driving force of american popular music，while others consider tin pan alley to have continued into the 1950s when earlier styles of american popular music were upstaged (抢风头) by the rise of rock and roll.theres a plaque (匾牌) on the sidewalk on 28th street in honor of the influence of tin pan alley on american popular culture，but the buildings that were home to the legendary tin pan alley publishers and songwriters are up for sale and may be torn down to make room for modern highrise buildings.64.what is the passage mainly about?a.american popular music.b.tin pan alleys future.c.american music industry.d.the history of tin pan alley.65.in the early 20th century，tin pan alley was used to refer to _.a.the american popular cultureb.the american printing mediac.the american rock music centerd.the american music publishing industry66.in the nineteenth century，the driving force of american popular music was _.a.rock and rollb.sheet musicc.country musicd.phonographs and radios67.when visiting tin pan alley，rosenfeld probably felt it was _.a.very noisy b.very quietc.wide d.narrowdvienneseborn composer(作曲家) frederick loewe，whom we remember from his musical scores that include my fair lady，gigi and camelot，was not always famous.he studied piano with the great masters of europe and achieved huge success as a musician and composer in his early years.but when he moved to the united states，he failed as a piano player.for a while he tried other types of work including prospecting(勘探) for gold and boxing.but he never gave up his dream and continued to play the piano and write music.during those years，he could not always afford to make payments on his piano.one day，bent over the keyboard，he heard nothing but the music that he played with such rare inspiration(灵感).when he finished and looked up，he was surprised to find that he had an audience of three moved men who were sitting on the floor.they said nothing and made no movement toward the piano.instead，they dug into their pockets，pooled together enough money for the payment，placed it on the piano and walked out，empty handed.moved by the beauty of his music，these men recognized excellence and reacted to it.whatever you are，be a good one.if what you do is worth doing，if you believe that who you are is of value，then you cant afford to be content with mediocrity(平庸；平凡).when you choose the path of excellence through this life，you will bring to it your best and receive the best it can offer in return.and you will know what it is to be satisfied.68.before frederick loewe moved to america，he _.a.was not famousb.was successful in musicc.failed as a piano playerd.produced three famous musical works69.what did frederick loewe once try other jobs for?a.to make more friends.b.to experience life.c.to make a living.d.to give up his dream.70.what can we learn from frederick loewes success?a.success belongs to those who never give up.b.never too late to learn.c.learn to walk before you run.d.lost time is never found again.71.according to the last paragraph，which of the following shows the best relationship between mediocrity and excellence in meaning?a. b.c. d.eeducation is not an end，but a means to an end.in other words，we do not educate children only for th
