But one big obstacle lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she live

19、d next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy. One day, while watching a

20、 science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut. With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a mach

21、ine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child. It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many pe

22、ople came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first

23、ambition of playing drums in a band. Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''56. Why

24、 did Brenda try to play in the strangest places? A. Because she didn't want others to hear her play. B. Because she didn't want to disturb others. C. Because she didn't have a large house. D. Because she liked to play in strange places.57. Brenda started to give concerts _ . A. after she

25、 practiced in her space bubble B. when she became part of the unique space journey C. after she became a real musical astronaut D. when people came to see her in the space bubble58. Brenda became famous because _ . A. she made a space suit B. she became a real musical astronaut C. she played drums i

26、n her space bubble D. she played drums in a band59. Which of the following can be used to describe Brenda? A. kind, hardworking and clever B. brave, kind and hardworking C. lovely, brave and kind D. nervous, kind and clever60. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that: " _". A. He lau

27、ghs best who laughs last B. It's never too old to learn C. Two heads are better than one D. One good turn deserves anotherB When we say older people shrink, we don't mean they become tiny enough to fit in your pocket! We just mean that it's common for older people to become a little shor

28、ter over time. This kind of shrinking can't be reversed, although people can slow or stop this process. But why does shrinking happen at all? Because of gravity (that force that keeps your feet on the ground) , cushions between the bones in the spine (脊骨), get compressed（压缩, which makes a person

29、 lose a little height and become shorter. Another reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis (骨质疏松). Osteoporosis occurs when bone is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. Over time, bone is said to be lost because it's not being replaced. Bones become smaller

30、 and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured. Older people especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with are more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis can get small breaks in bones that are called compre

31、ssion fractures. These breaks cause collapse of the spine and over time the person with osteoporosis can become hunched over (驼背). Did you know that every day you shrink a little, too? You aren't as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. That's because as the day goes on, wa

32、ter in the disks of the spine gets compressed due to gravity, making you just a tiny bit shorter. Don't worry, though. Once you get a good night's rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you're standing tall again! Smoking and drinking alcohol can make this problem worse. Want to

33、 do something right now to build strong bones? I believe what I will say will help you.61. Which of the following statements is true? A. For shrinking, people can do nothing about it. B. If someone is injured, he will become shorter. C. Women have smaller and lighter bones than men. D. We aren't

34、 as tall at the end of the day as we are at the beginning. 62. What should we do if we don't want to shrink faster? A. We should try to reduce gravity. B. We should be careful not to be hurt by others. C. We should sleep as long as possible. D. We should keep away from smoking and drinking alcoh

35、ol.63. What is the topic of the passage? A. How can we stop shrinking? B. Why do we shrink? C. Some tips on how to keep tall. D. How to live a healthy life.64. About osteoporosis we know that _. A. gravity is one of the causes of osteoporosis B. once our bone is broken down, osteoporosis will occur

36、C. women are more likely to develop osteoporosis D. if we develop osteoporosis, we are more likely to be shorter65. What will the author talk about in the paragraph to be followed? A. Tell us how to grow taller. B. Tell us how to become healthier. C. Tell us how to avoid being shrinking. D. Tell us

37、what to do to have strong bones.C Going on a date can be a nightmare for the best of us. But now a pair of 'social X-Ray' glasses promises to tell you exactly what the other person is thinkingand when you should stop talking.The glasses have a built-in camera which monitors the other person&

38、#39;s facial expressions and matches them up with 24 known features which convey emotions. It will then tell the individual via an earpiece and lights on the glasses what their date is thinking. In a traffic light-style system, a red light means negative, yellow means they are a bit interested and g

39、reen means your date is happy. The glasses are under development at present by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab.They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an 'extra sense' that they are bored or losing interest.

40、The eyewear was developed for people suffering from autism（孤独症）who have much difficulty interacting with others, but now the team behind it has seen wider applications. It works thanks to a camera the size of a grain of rice which is put into the glasses frame and connected via a wire to a small com

41、puter which can be attached to the user's body. The camera monitors how long and how often 24 'feature points' appear on the subject's faces which are then analyzed by software developed by the MIT team.This data is then compared with a bank of expressions and the computer tells the

42、wearer what is going on via the earpiece and the traffic light system.So far the glasses are still a job in progress and have been accurate just 64 per cent of the time, a figure which is expected to improve with further tests.66. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. going on a date can be a night

43、mare for the best of us B. scientists are showing more and more concern to people suffering from autism C. the glasses will be more and more popular D. the scientists are working on a new type of glasses to help people going on a date67.

46、ed = negativeyellow = positive green = neutral70. The passage is probably from _ . A. a guide book B. an autobiography book C. a leaflet D. a scientific reportD Australia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in the country. The new measures w

47、ere released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012. As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit (押金) required to study in Australia has be

48、en reduced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased. Also, overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement. "This change will def

49、initely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas," says Wang Lan, a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group (EIC), a Beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas. However, in the past few

50、 years, many of Wang's student clients (客户) could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia,

51、Wang says. A 22-year-old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago. "According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($

52、86,850). Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my parents," Li says. She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans. "I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness wh

53、en I return to China," she says. Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad, according to the report by EIC. 71. What's the main idea of the passage? A. Language requirement for overseas students have been eased in Australia. B. Australia is a m
