merely, expanding the orchestras repertoire(曲目)will not be enough. if gilbert and the philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between americas oldest orchestra and the new audience it hopes to attract.56.we learn from para 1 that gilberts appointment has .a. met with criticism b. received applause c. raised suspicion d. aroused curiosity 57. the author believes that the devoted concertgoers .a. reject most kinds of recorded performanceb. fail to recognize the variety of live performancec. overestimate(高估)the variety of live performanced. ignore the expense of live performance 58.according to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?a. they are often inferior to live concerts in quality b. they are easily accessible to the general publicc. they help improve the quality of musicd. they have only covered masterpieces59.regarding gilberts role in revitalizing( 振兴) the philharmonic, the author feels a. enthusiastic b. confident c. puzzled d. doubtfulbbananas, always the fashion victims of the produce section, are wearing another new label this spring. bananas with “fair trade certified” stickers have been available in the united states since october. they represent the new front of an international effort to help first-world consumers improve the living standards of the third-world farmers who grow much of their food. by expanding its reach to the produce section, fair trade is now trying to reach the american supermarket shopper. fair trade deals directly with farmer cooperatives (合作社). it helps organize, avoiding brokers (代理人) and middlemen. it guarantees higher prices for the farmers goods and helps them set up schools and health clinics. the fair trade movement took root in europe in the 1990s as a way of supporting coffee farmers as prices were collapsing. since fair trade began, more than a million coffee growers and other farmers have joined cooperatives that sell their products through fair trade channels instead of directly to a commercial producer. not everyone is greeting the fair trade label with open arms. several american coffee importers recently pulled out of fair trade, saying transfairs “corporate friendly” policies that allow large companies to use the fair trade logo in their marketing even if only a small amount of the companys overall purchases are fair trade certified. edmund lamacchia, the national produce coordinator(协调员) for whole foods, said fair trade is only one of many consumer choices. “whole foods has its own team of inspectors and has no plans to carry fair trade products”, mr. lamacchia said. “our standards are higher than fair trades, actually.” fair trade is only one of several labels your bananas might be wearing this year. another is that of the rainforest alliance, which certifies the use of sustainable(可持续发展) agriculture methods. so far, though, fair trade is the biggest. a fair trade label by itself does not guarantee an organic product, but most fair trade bananas are also organic, ms. bourque said, because pesticides are usually too costly for the small farmers who grow them. if the bananas are organic, they will be labeled as such, and will probably be wearing a sticker to prove it. 60. why are bananas wearing “fair trade certified” stickers? a. it represents an international effort to help the third-world farmers. b. it means bananas have got a new label. c. it means bananas with these stickers are available in the united states. d. it means bananas are the fashion victims of the produce section. 61. what does fair trade do? a. it appoints brokers and middlemen to deal with farmer cooperatives. b. it brings down the price of farmers goods. c. it sets up schools and health clinics for american farmers. d. it helps farmers sell their products for a higher profit. 62. what can we infer from this passage? a. american coffee importers will never buy their products through fair trade channels. b. fair trade is the only label that bananas might be wearing this year. c. not every consumer considers fair trade products the only choice. d. whole foods and the rainforest alliance are more influential than fair trade. 63. what is the best title for this passage? a. consumers face more choices b. fair trade the best sticker c. the fair trade movement d. helping the third world: one banana at a time clos angeles，feb 12-whitney houston, whose amazing voice lifted her to the top of the pop music world but whose personal decline was fueled by years of drug use, died on saturday afternoon in a beverly hills hotel room. she was 48.the pop superstar died on the eve of the grammy awards in los angeles at the same hotel where her lifelong friend, record master clive davis, was holding an annual pre-event party featuring scores of music industry celebrities.a dramatic scene unfolded at the beverly hilton hotel as guests arriving for the party expressed shock at her death, while reporters poured into the hotel, fans gathered outside to light candles in her memory and helicopters hovered overhead. beverly hills police said they were called to the beverly hilton at around 3:43 p.m. pst, and fire department personnel who were already at the location responded immediately. houston was in her fourth-floor room but was unresponsive to cpr, and she was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m.she has been positively identified by friends and family (who) were with her at the hotel, and next of kin(最近的血亲) have already been informed, lieutenant mark rosen told reporters. police said there were no obvious signs of criminal intention.los angeles county coroners(验尸官) removed houstons body from the hotel after midnight through a backdoor to avoid the crush of media set up to cover her shocking death.typically, coroners conduct an examination within a day or two, at which point they might release some information about the death. if drugs or alcohol are involved, however, an official cause of death would not be released until after toxicology（毒理学） tests, which could take six to eight weeks.tributes(赞词) poured in from around the world for a singer whose remarkable vocal power and range produced some of the most memorable music of her generation, including her signature hit, i will always love you.i dont have to mask my emotion in front of a room full of so many dear friends, davis told a grief-stricken crowd at his gala dinner and party just hours after houstons death. i am personally beaten down by the loss of someone who has meant so much to me for so many years.neil portnow, president of the recording academy, which runs the grammys, told the audience at daviss party that jennifer hudson would sing a tribute to houston at sunday nights grammy awards. “we will do something appropriate tomorrow, and nothing could be more appropriate than having jennifer hudson sing on stage for whitney, portnow said.” in our community, we celebrate things . lets celebrate whitney houston.64we can learn from the first paragraph that .awhitney houston died suddenly because of drug use.bwhitney houston had little potential in the pop music world.cwhitney houstons profession was affected by drug usedwhitney houstons fame grew as she won the grammy awards65according to the passage, at the most, how long will people be waiting to find out the cause of houstons death?afor two days. bfor a week. cfor six weeks. dfor two months.66. which of the following describes how people responded to houstons death? areporters crowded to a backdoor of the hotel to cover houstons death.bfans insisted the police find out the cause of houstons death immediately.cpolicemen tried to prevent the news of houstons death from being spread.dfiremen rushed to the very hotel where houston died without any delay.67what neil portnow said at daviss party implies that .ahouston was a singer of great influence in the pop worldbjennifer hudson is likely to replace houston in singing one day cthe grammys are of little significance without houstondsinging houstons songs is a good way to keep her memory aliveduntil last spring, nia parker and the other kids in her neighborhood went to school on bus 59. but as fuel rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. so the schools busing company redrew its route map, cancelling nias bus altogether. now, nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a “walking school bus” a group of kids, guarded by an adult or two, who make the walk together. like the rest of us, school districts are feeling affected by rising fuel costsand finding new ways to adapt. the price of fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. for the typical american school district, bus bills total 5 percent of the budget. as administrators look to cut down budget, busing is an inviting target, since it doesnt affect classroom instruction (or test scores). more than one third of school administrators have cancelled
