CopyeditorsMusic DJs BI am a music store owner. One day, when I was cleaning the instruments in my store, I saw an old man come in. His short steps dragged on the carpet. “Is 77 too old to learn the banjo (班卓琴)?” he asked.“You can learn to play it well,” I replied, holding back my doubts. My mind told me I was giving false encouragement. I reached the instructors schedule and gave the rates, the available time and the additional information that he would need. To my surprise and delight, the old man, Carl, began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher.With nothing to do at home but practice, Carl made surprising progress. After breakfast he practiced for his required half hour. While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes. Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear, he often played the banjo in the evenings. Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didnt arrive one Tuesday.The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness. “Carls in hospital,” the voice recorded.Two months later, I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher. We both shed tears for a surprisingly clever banjo student.Several months later, a woman came into the store carrying a plant. “This is for Carls banjo teacher,” she said. “Im his wife, Mary.”“Why did Carl want to play the banjo?” I asked. Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Carl was at some show when he was 10 years old. He came close to the stage to watch the performers. When they were packing up their instruments, the banjo player said to Carl, You want to see this up close? Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo.” Carl had waited 67 years to realize a dream! Mary gave the plant to Carls banjo teacher. “Thank you for the best six months of his life,” she said.24. How did Carl learn to play the banjo well?A. By working hard. B. By taking short cuts.C.

He wanted to spend the last best six months of his life.CAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. While the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.28. Which best describes the writers point in Para.1?A. Intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.D. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.29. It is suggested in this passage that _.A. close relations usually have similar intelligenceB. unrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligenceC. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence30. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_.A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the effect of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positions D. the part that birth plays31. The best title for this article would be “_”. A. On IntelligenceB. What Intelligence Means C. Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Decides IntelligenceD Our environment isnt as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel(钢铁) monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the earth.You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. Theyre not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste youve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（漏的），which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It is not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.32.In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to describe_.A. huge buildings B. high mountainsC. big factories D. characters in fairy stories33.From the fifth paragraph, we can know that _.A. protecting the environment begins with small choresB. protecting the environment should start from childhood.C. wonderful life comes from environmental protectionD. protecting the environment benefits the country and the people34.Which of the following is NOT true?A. The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.B. Selling what you dont want any more is a kind of recycling.C. To protect the environment may help you save some money.D. Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.35.The passage is mainly about_.A. the use of garbage dustbins B. how to save water and electricityC. how to save the environment D. our current environmental problems第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余的选项。New rules and behaviour standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. 36 The best students wont only have high marks. They will also be kids who dont dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink. Here are some of the new rules. Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone elses work in an exam? 37 Thats not something an honest student should do.
