However, this issue _49_ caused heated debate. Some people say that classical music is _50_

29、 only with old people. For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the _51_ is over the age of fifty. Other say it is more popular than we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realizing it. It is often used in films and advertisements. For example,

30、a famous piece of classical music was used as the _52_ music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it. Also, some people point out that young people produce new music _53_ on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap music was _54_ by a class

31、ical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music. However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped by technology. To pay a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you dont need to get _55_

32、 arms from practicing. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom. A final point to _56_ in mind is that the term “classical music” is used to _57_ to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras. This makes it even more dif

33、ficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people. So, it may be only a _58_ of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!

34、III. Reading Comprehension (27%)Section A: 15%Direction: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C or D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Have you ever monitored something about yourself? Perhaps youve tracked how man

35、y kilometers youve run, how many hours youve slept or how many calories youve _59_ in a day. If so, youve _60_ a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement.” Individuals gather information about their daily activities in this widespread movement, also called self-tracking. This may sound _61_, bu

36、t technology is making the process easier. Perhaps youve wanted to _62_ a bad habit and couldnt. Self-tracking may be our answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze it to help get a _63_ lifestyle. Recently, tools such as smartphones, journals and apps, along

37、with newly _64_ wearable gadgets (工具), are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone UP, Google Glass or a smart watch to _65_ personal data including hours slept, stress levels, heart rate and mood. So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose wei

38、ght or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to _66_ what foods make him sleepy and modify his diet accordingly.Monitoring daily activities isnt a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, trai

39、ning and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. _67_, doctors have also helped patients to document parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies (过敏反应), headaches and other health issues. _68_, it wasnt until 2007 that Wired magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kel

40、ly, who started tracking every move they made, coined the _69_ “Quantified Self.” Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its _70_. Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an addiction. Also,

41、they might begin to worry too much about their health. While self-tracking doesnt _71_ that ones quality of life will improve, it can highlight the importance of eating well and exercising daily. _72_, the quantified Self Movements primary focus is _73_ people to employ enough energy to make healthi

45、to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New Yorkhe in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us.” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. I

46、t was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about lifes purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Partons foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singers home town

47、 of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire.” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on . The program had been opened up to partners who c

48、ould take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a looksee. “We didnt want to give the children rubbish.” says Linda. The booksreviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists,

49、and Dollywood board membersincluded classics such as Ezra Jack Keatss The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdneys Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Me

50、gan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative：“This program introduces us to books Ive never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die.” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”74. W

51、hat led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. The news from the Web. B. His love for teaching. C. The influence of his wife. D. His health problem.75.

53、p the children. (B)（London）If it really is whats on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Bein

54、g thin doesnt surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exerci

55、se are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. A

56、mong men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some

57、point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the bodys communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be eas

58、ily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.78. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside. B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. I

59、nternal fat leads to many diseases. D. Thin people also have troubles.79. Doctors have found _.A. the exact dangers of internal fat B. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at all D. being slim doesnt mean you are not fat inside80. According to the pas

60、sage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.81. From the last paragraph, we can find that _.A. whe
