For other mice, the same sight can be the reason to sing.Mice will possibly never sing their way to Broadway (百老汇), but researchers from Washington University in the United States have found evidence that mice do, in fact, sing. Until now, singing mice have become stars in cartoons, but they have never been heard singing out in real life before.Scientists already knew that mice make ultrasonic (超声波) soundsnoises that are too high for people to hear without special equipment(仪器). Mouse babies cry out when they lose their mothers. Male mice make noise when they smell females.To find out whether mice put such sounds together in song-like pattern(模式), the researchers recorded the sounds of 45 male mice. They put each mouse in its own room and cause them to make noise. Microphones recorded the sounds.Using computer software, the researchers found the mice produced about 10 syllables(音节) every second.The results showed that nearly all of the mice repeated sequences (顺序)of syllables in different ways. Scientists call that a song. Birds, whales, and people do the same thing.Not all scientists are sure that what the mice are doing is actually singing. To prove it, the researchers must show that mice are able to learn to sing. And, they need to figure out why the mice sing. One guess, the researchers say, is that male mice use songs to attract females that they like.However, the discovery that mice produce such complicated sounds could be useful for the study of communication in animals, including people. 26. We hear mice singing only when we . A. pay special attention to them B. go to Broadway C. have learned a lot about them D. watch a cartoon movie27. From the third paragraph, we know.A. mice often sing their songs to warn other miceB. mice are more clever than human beingsC. mice only use ultrasonic sounds to communicateD. mices ultrasonic sounds are too high for people to hear without special equipment28. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Mice sing in real life. B. Mouse babies cry in real life. C. Mice sing for no reasons. D. Computers are used to study mouse songs.BI entered St. Thomas Hospital as a medical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there. I was an unsatisfied student I had always wanted to be a writer and in the evening, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel, called Liza of Lambeth. I sent it to a publisher and it was accepted. It came out during my last year at the hospital and had something of success. It was of course an accident, but naturally I didnt know that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession. So, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now, I realize I was taking a fearful risk. It never even happened to me.The next ten years was very hard, and I earned 100 pounds a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed and the next play he arranged to put on was not ready, and he was at his wits end. He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for six weeks till the play he had in mind could be produced. It ran for 15 months. Within a short while I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had even happened before. I was the talk of the town. One of the students at St. Thomas Hospital asked the famous surgeon(外科医生) with whom I had worked whether he remembered me. “Yes, I remember him quite well,” he said. “One of our failures, Im afraid.”29. The writer thought he was an unsatisfied student because. A. he didnt like the hospital he worked in B. he didnt enjoy the work in the hospital C. he thought he could be a famous doctor D. he didnt want to earn so little money30. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The writer succeeded as a doctor during his stay in the hospital. B. The writer set out for Spain to write another book soon after he graduated. C. The writer lived a happy life after he graduated from the school of medicine. D. The writer became a famous surgeon after he graduated from the school of medicine.31. What does the underlined part “and he was at his wits end” mean in the passsage? A. He didnt know what to do. B. He didnt realize what would happen. C. He was successful at that time. D. He was ready to help others.CNext time youre unhappy or complaining about your life, dont turn to a cheerful comedy. You might find a tear-jerking tragedy(催人泪下的悲剧) is just the thing you need to brighten your day.A team of researchers at Ohio State University, US, has found sad movies can make people happier, Science Daily reported last month. Many people find tragedies make them realize how good their own lives are, the study showed.“People seem to use tragedies as a way to reflect on the important relationships in their own lives,” said Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, leader of the study. “Tragic stories often focus on themes of eternal(永恒的) love, and this leads viewers to think about their loved ones and count their good and helpful things.”In the study, researchers gathered 361 college students and showed them the 2007 movie, Atonement. The movie is about two lovers who are separated(分离) and finally die during World War II. Before and after the movie, the students were asked questions measuring(衡量) how happy they were with their lives. Researchers also asked them before, after and three times during the movie to measure various emotions, including sadness.Researchers found that the sadder students felt while watching the movie, the more likely they were to think about real people they had close relationships with in life. This increased their happiness after watching the movie.Knobloch-Westerwick explained that negative(消极的) moods make people more thoughtful.“Positive(积极的) emotions show that everything is fine, you dont have to worry, you dont have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But negative emotions, like sadness, make you think more critically about your situation. So seeing a tragic movie may make you sad, but that will make you to think more about your own close relationships and appreciate them more.”The link between watching a tragic story and feeling better has long been recognized. The ancient Greeks even had a word for the feeling of happiness after seeing something sad that led to the modern English word “catharsis (宣泄)”.The study also showed that relationships are a very important source of happiness in our lives, so it is no surprise that thinking about your loved ones makes you happier, researchers said. 32. Which of the following about the study of Ohio State University is NOT true? A. Only sadness is measured in the study. B. Students emotions are measured by asking questions.C. The study shows relationships are a source of happiness. D. Those who felt sadder when watching the movie were more likely to be happier after that.33. Why are ancient Greeks mentioned in the passage? A. To introduce the meaning of the word “Catharsis”.B. To explain the importance of knowing how to become happier.C. To prove that they were of high intelligence and guessed its meaning.D. To tell readers the relationship between tragedies and happiness was found long ago. 34. From Knobloch-Westerwicks explanation, we can learn that . A. seeing tragedies makes you more thoughtful B. positive emotions make you think more about your relationshipsC. negative emotions show you have no need to think about your situation D. after seeing comedies, you will appreciate your close relationships more35. Which is the title of the passage? A. Watching sad films may start smiles B. There is eternal love in the world C. Its useless to complain about life D. Comedies should make way for tragedies四、词汇运用 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)A) 根据句意，用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词。 36. With those (policeman) help, the little boy found his parents at last.37.

According to a recent survey made by the charity BackCare, 80% of British children carry too much weight in their bags, and in the most harmful way, on one shoulder. Some 12-and-13-year-olds are carrying up to 60% of their body weight on days when they have sports or musical instruments (乐器) to have to carry to school. The survey suggests that by 14 about half of pupils would be suffering from back pain.BackCare recommends that they should carry no more than a fifth of their body weight, and warns that those carrying a third or more run a risk of harm. If the child is small, the problem will be big.“There is little hope in us trying to protect adults backs if our children are not protected,” says one of the men from BackCare.阅读以上信息，完成下面的句子，每空一词。 56.
