As a result, at the end of the war there were many orphans (孤儿) there. A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children. His idea was simple. He wanted orphans to have a home, and he wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents. Gmeiner asked people to give him some money. With this money he built the first SOS Childrens Village at Imst, in Austria. It opened in1949. This is how the SOS stand for “Save Our Souls（灵魂）.” This means, “Please help us!” An SOS Children village gives help to orphans. Hermann Gmeiners idea for helping orphans soon spread（传播）all over the world. By 1983 there were 170 SOS Childrens Villages in the world. People in many countries give money to help the villages.Today the children from the first village have grown up. Now some of them work in other SOS Childrens Villages. In SOS Villages orphans live in family groups. There are several houses in each village. The biggest village has 40 or 50 houses! Between seven and ten children live in a house. A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks meals for them and makes comfortable, happy home for them.Of course, the children dont spend all their time in the village. They go to school; they go out with their friends.

But, as we cant drink seawater, how can it be important?Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced.The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks (储备) in the oceans have started to drop.Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is!8. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea _.A. wouldnt harm the fish in the seaB. would change the balance of the food chainC. would be broken down in the seaD. wouldnt do much harm to the sea9. From the passage, we learn that _.A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seasB. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chainC. excessive fishing has caused the decrease in fish stockD. it wont be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved10. Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?A. The use of international agreements.B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.C. The use of new techniques.D. Raising peoples awareness of the need to protect oceans.11. What would be the best title of the passage?A. The importance of seawater.B. Life in the oceans.C. How to protect food chains.D. How to deal with seawater pollution.DMusic is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand. A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke. even our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just three months after the assassination(暗杀) of President John Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. Its also a great source of inspiration.Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs. Close your eyes, and soon youll find yourself creating vivid mental images-matching the music that you are listening to.12. Music has magical power because it _.A. is a kind of languageB. can be played much louder than wordsC. receives a personal radio signalD. can influence a persons spirit13. What can we learn about the Beatles from the passage?A. They were the biggest band in American history.B. They are not accepted by modern American people.C. They appeared at a special time in American politics.D. They represented the roots of American culture.14. Music influences people in the following ways except _.A. connecting the listener and the composer mentallyB. transporting people from one place to anotherC. allowing people to express their emotionsD. touching and inspiring people15. What does the writer suggest people do in the last paragraph?A. Relax and listen to their favorite music.B. B. Enjoy drinking in spare time.C. C. Create vivid pictures.D. D. Notice everything happening around.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Just Go for a UniversityFor any student, going to a university is one of the most important stages of their lives.
