He liked to watch the colors of the trees shine through the sunlight. It was the same color as his trumpet. John smiled when he thought of the music the leaves made. He looked at his watch; his father would meet him in a few minutes for their first practice in the park.John and his family lived in an apartment building. He began playing his trumpet in his own living room two weeks ago. Then the family next door had a new baby. To keep from waking up the baby, John was going to spend his practice time in the park. Although he enjoyed visiting the park, he didnt want to practice his music there.John was afraid that he would embarrass himself if he played the wrong notes. And he imagined his cheeks looking like a red, blown-up balloon. He didnt want people to watch him as he practiced his music. Unluckily, his father couldnt possibly understand how embarrassing it would be!“John, are you ready?” pulling him out of his daydream, his father sat down and began to play his trumpet. John looked up at a golden tree. The leaves seemed to be dancing with the tune. He felt excited as he watched the people walking by and smiling at his father. He wanted to play like that! Immediately, John placed his trumpet to the mouth and blew. Soon, John was having such a great time playing with his father that he didnt care if he had played a few bad notes. The golden tree was dancing while John was still playing. Now he and his neighbors could both be happy. ( ) 37. To keep from waking up the baby, John practiced his trumpet _.

No training is required to get an e-mail account these days. Many e-mail users get started without really knowing how to use the technology properly. Unfortunately, this lack of e-mail know-how leads to a large list of problems. Chain letters clog（堵塞） mailboxes. And for a variety of reasons, were often unable to send or receive messages. Wouldnt e-mail be much easier to use if everyone followed a few simple guidelines? Yes, indeed!Lets learn what you can do to make e-mailing more enjoyable for everyone. Guideline 1. Think twice before sending messages with huge attachments（附件）. Large attachments can clog peoples mailboxes, exceeding storage capacity (容量). Mailboxes have size limits and often get so full that they cannot receive more messages.Its fun if your friend e-mails a dancing cat video to everyone in your class. Its not fun if you dont get that important e-mail from your teacher because your mailbox is full. Be careful when sending photos, videos or other large attachments. Guideline 2. Dont forward chain letters. Does everyone on your mailing list really want to read that romantic poem someone just e-mailed to you? Probably not! Chain letters dont serve much purpose besides costing readers time and mailbox space. If you want to show kindness to a friend, write them a short personal e-mail. Personal greetings move people more than funny messages written by strangers. Guideline 3. Dont forward personal e-mails without first asking the author. If someone wrote you a personal letter on paper, youd hesitate before showing it to everyone. The same rule should relate to e-mail, also. Try to be polite to your friends. Dont forward their personal e-mails without asking permission first. Guideline 4. Clean out your own mailbox regularly. Make sure theres empty space in your mailbox, so new messages can come in. Otherwise, you might be wondering why that important message never came. OK, students, e-mail class is dismissed. Good day and happy e-mailing!( ) 41. The underlined word exceeding probably means_.A. making up B. going beyond C. enlarging D. reducing( ) 42. Which of the following pictures shows us the main idea of Guideline 4? A. B. C. D.( ) 43. According to the passage, we_ when using e-mails.A. should send chain letters to our friends B. shouldnt send our friends e-mails to others C. should form a habit of emptying our mailboxesD. shouldnt receive e-mails with huge attachments ( ) 44. What can we learn from the “e-mail 101 class”? A. How to use e-mails properly. B. How to get an e-mail account. C. How to clean out the mailbox. D. How to send e-mails to friends.(D)The sounds made by a killer whale in one part of the ocean may be very different from the sounds of a killer whale from another area in the sea, much as people from the southern United States sound different from New Englanders.David Bain studies the underwater utterings of two killer whales a, in California. In spite of their different dialects, he says the mammals(哺乳动物) learned to communicate with one another by finally learning to make each others sounds. Researcher Bain says, “Theres a lot of information in the tone of voice, how they say it, you can get a sense of if theyre being angry or not. Yes, they do have a tone of voice.”Researchers are uncertain to call the sounds language, but the sounds clearly do help whales communicate with other whales and other mammals may even be picking up on it.The ability of whales and dolphins to imitate (copy) sounds helps develop something of a cross-species language. When the dolphin Bayou was separated from the Orca, Yaka, Bayou began uttering Orca like sounds, probably to get the whales attention.Brenda McCowan tries to compare dolphins behavior with their whistles like sounds. By recording the sound patterns, shes also come up with what looks like a general vocabulary. She says, “We found about 102 whistle types on the whole. Their whistle types are made up of that.”Although she is still not sure what any of it means, “We just dont know yet. Were slowly trying to pull apart the pieces, use of imitation, the importance of how whistles are organized, to find out how difficult it is.”Researchers may be years away from learning what every fish in the ocean already knows. When the killer whale speaks, youd better jump. ( ) 45. The underlined word utterings probably means _.A. languages B. dialogues C. sounds D. voices( ) 46. Whats the best title for the passage?A. Whales talk. B. Animals in the sea. C. Whales behaviors. D. Researches on animals.( ) 47. Which statement is NOT true?A. Whales and dolphins have their own ways of communication.B. Researchers think whales sounds should be regarded as a language.C. Whales can communicate with each other by making different sounds.D. Researchers dont understand all the meanings of the dolphins whistles.( ) 48. What can we infer from the passage?A. People will be frightened to jump up when killer whales speak.B. Researchers have known about 102 whistle types of dolphins.C. Researchers will communicate with whales in no time.D. One day researchers will know more about whales.(E) Nike, a major United States sportswear company, has spent the last several years doing some serious searching. In other words, the company wants your smelly, old sneakers. Why would anyone want dirty, worn-out shoes? The material used to make most sneakers can be bent easily. Nike, in its “Reuse-a-Shoe” program, uses this soft, shock-absorbent material for creating playgrounds and high-performance sports surfaces, which can help protect sportsmen from being hurt. People are encouraged to drop off their unwanted shoes at one of the companys collection spots. The company provides local shops, community agencies (社区组织), and school groups with tools to promote the collection effort. These tools include posters, radio, and print advertisements. Any used shoes are welcomed as long as they do not have metal parts. After about five thousand pairs of shoes have been collected, Nike takes them to the companys recycling plant in Oregon. Since 1993, millions of pairs of shoes have been recycled. The company presently has more than 50 collection spots located throughout 35 states and similar collection programs in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan.After the shoes arrive in Oregon, they are cut into thin pieces and separated into three sections: the top, the middle shoe, and the outer sole. These parts are broken up into tiny pellets(颗粒). The small pieces are then cleaned and sent to partner companies to be made into athletic surfaces. Pellets made from the fabric or leather tops of the collected shoes are used to make padding(填充物) that goes directly under hardwood basketball floors. The middle of them is used to make basketball courts, tennis courts, and soft playground surfaces. The pellets made from the heavy rubber bottoms, or soles, of them are made into football and baseball fields, and running tracks. Each year Nike selects neighborhoods that could benefit from having new sports surfaces. So far, the company has helped build more than 170 sports surfaces in communities around the world. Because Nike reduced the amount of waste and provided communities with safe playgrounds and excellent sports surfaces, it has received many awards from the recycling community. The company finally plans to recycle old sneakers into brand-new sneakers, but for now, they are pleased to partner with other companies who help to put all those old shoes to good use.( ) 49. The underlined words “shock-absorbent material” is a kind of material that is used to _. A. make sports surfaces smooth B. keep playgrounds clean C. make sportsmen safer D. protect playgrounds ( ) 50. The company sets up collection spots in order to _. A. count the exact numbers of shoes that are collected B. separate the shoes according to size and condition C. store shoes for community agencies and schools D. make it easier for people to give their old shoes( ) 51.
