He made the rock n roll music popular all over the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church ,where he learned to sing, and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.When he was young, Elvis moved from Toledo to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called “country and western”.In 1955 he recorded some songs for his mothers birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music which black people used to sing in the American South. It was called “blues”.Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manger and arranged concerts for him across the United States and new recording as well. Soon Elvis became famous around the country. Later Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films such as Love Me Tender and King Creole.But Elvis found it difficult to live with success, Like many other famous people, he began to take drugs and his health started to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, millions of his fans were shocked, ”The King Is Dead!” the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and will always be remembered as the King of Rock n roll.45.From the passage, we can see _.A. the church songs didnt help Elvis develop his own style.B.

Nowadays, many Shanghai white-collar workers have got native English-speaking international students staying with their families, too, in order to learn English from them.It is usually free for foreign students to stay in a host family in Shanghai, but he / she must take up the responsibility of teaching English to at least one certain member of the family.Miss Li had always been worried about her limited English. “I never knew what to say to an English-speaking person,” said she. She had taken a number of English courses, but none had proved to be successful. Last year, she saw an ad recruiting （招募）host families for foreign students, and that was how Carey (from Chicago, US) came to her home.Carey is actually not a student, but a HR manager. She stays in Lis apartment for free, but has to teach Li oral English for one hour every day. “She could hardly speak Chinese at the beginning, and we had to guess what the other meant through gesture,” said Li.Two months later, they could talk to each other without gesticulating. Now, Li can communicate with any English-speaking person freely.About one hundred Shanghai families have received foreign boarding students, and the figure is rising.However, foreign boarding students can only help improve oral English, but not examination skills.49. Many Shanghai families make foreign students stay with them so that they can _.A. teach the students Chinese.B. learn oral English from the studentsC. improve their examination skills.D. improve their oral and written English50. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Miss Lis oral English was very poor before she knew Carey.B. Miss Li was so worried about her English that she took many English courses.C. In fact Carey is a student from Chicago, US.D. Carey helped Miss Li improve her oral English a lot.51. The underlined word “gesticulating” in the fifth paragraph probably means “_”.A. speaking ChineseB. speaking EnglishC. using gestureD. learning oral EnglishDDue to climate change, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.Polar bears off Alaska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land, where, they feed on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. For polar bears, this food is less nutritious than seals that they normally catch ice sheets. The shrinking(减少) ice has also forced more polar bears into the ocean. In the past, they only had to swim short distances between ice sheets. But as the ice has shrunk, polar bears have been forced to swim longer and longer distances in the ocean. This poses a severe danger during rough weather, and an increasing number of drowned polar bears have been observed.In Hudson Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring now than it did 20 years ago. Polar bears on Hudson Bay fast (绝食) during the summer, waiting for ice to form in the fall to hunt. Every year, the summer gets longer, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past25 years, the average weight of female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped 15 percent. Unless the bears can learn to survive these climate changes, these giants of the ice may one day disappear.52.What is happening to Arctic ice earlier each spring?A. Its freezingB. Its hardening.C. Its melting.D. Its expanding.53.Whats TRUE of polar bears that are spending more time on land in Alaska?A. Their young are dying.B. Their diet is changing.C. Their health is improving.D. Their families are growing.54.What do polar bears in Hudson Bay do during the summer?A. They claim territory.B. They protect mates.C. They hunt animals.D. They stop feeding.55.What does the writer imply about females polar bears in Hudson Bay?A. They are having fewer young now.B. They suffer from various sicknesses.C. They dont need stronger protection.D. They cant find enough good males.ETwo American scientists told me the people in industrial nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.The scientists say that the human body has change very little since man first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly. Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times. So they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes(中风) are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today. Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals. They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods. We eat six times more salt than stone-age people. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we should be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods.56.The people in industrial nations would be much healthier if they ate _A. more foods as humans living 10,000 years ago did.B. as humans living 10,000 years ago.C. more kinds of the food eaten by people living over 10,000 years ago.D. more of the same kind of foods eaten by people over 10,000 years ago.57. New kinds of sicknesses have been found because_.A. the human body has changed compared with human first appeared on earth.B. the way we live has changed a little.C. our body cant deal with the changes in lifestyle.D. the way we live today is proper for the human body.58.What is the main cause mentioned in the article why people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?A. Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise.B. People today have a lot of alcohol.C. People today have more tobacco.D. Food is quite different between life today and life in ancient times.59.Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of _.A. milk and other dairy productsB. grain foods and farm animalsC. salt and sugarD. wild animals, fresh wild vegetables and fruits60.From this article, we know that _are not good to our health.A. protein and vitami
