My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was barely 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility（责任） of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace. I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasnt long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive（董事） from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone callWarner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies.

At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to 50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the drivers responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing（倒开）your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid（有效） medical certificate（证书）which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these facts request you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.43.

As a result. Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the countrys drinking water.Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusaually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（排放）, which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable（易受影响的） to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.47. The text is mainly about .A. rapid changes in earths temperatureB. bad effects of global warmingC. moving of a country to a new placeD. reasons for lowland flooding48. According to scientists, the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is .A. greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nationsB. higher surface water temperatures of the sea C. continuous global warmingD. rising sea levels49. Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not .A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissionsB. sign an agreement with TuvaluC. allow Tuvaluans to move to the USD. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real50. The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is .A. Australia B. New ZealandC. the MaldivesD. the United States EIt seems that great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems. Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius are linked. Dr Adele Juda studied 5,000 creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower numbers for painters and architects. Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity. But, it did nothing to explain it. Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative people, she took a group of psychiatric (精神病的) patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a normal group.Also, the patients close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group. This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes (基因).But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists believe that evolution (进化) has created a balance, where the madness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race.Geniuses may be mad, bad or just difficult to under- stand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all.51. According to Dr Adele Juda, which of the following has the lowest rate of mental illness? A. Painters. B. Musicians. C. Poets. D. Bus drivers.52. The underlined phrase “make a breakthrough” in the 4th paragraph means “ ”.A. discover or find something new and important.B. make a way through using force.C. (of the sun or moon ) appear from behind (clouds).D. suddenly change (from a slower to a faster pace)53. Based on the research of Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University, we can conclude that .A. great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problemsB. the patients close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal groupC. psychiatric patients have more creativity than the average peopleD. it is our genes that determine the link between creativity and mental illness54. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Among the 5,000 creative Germans, more people suffer from mental diseases.B. There is a strong link between mental problems and creativity.C. Psychiatric patients make greater contributions than common people.D. The key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes.55. What is the writers attitude toward madness?A. Madness is harmful to the whole society.B. A little creative madness is good for us all.C. All the talented people are mad.D. Only the people with mental illness have more creativity.第四节： 对话填空。（根据上下文对话语境及所给单词首字母，补全所缺单词）（共10空；每空分，满分10分） A: Hi, Xiao Zhang, I was told you make a (56) friend today, is that true?(56) B: Yeah.
