Passing through the Atlanta airport one morning, I caught one of those trains that take travelers to their
boarding gates. The free trains run back and forth all day. Not many people think it is fun, but I heard them
laughing. At the front of the first train were a man and his son who was about five years old.
“Here we go!” the father said. “Look out there! See that pilot? I’m sure he’s walking to his plane.” The son
stretched his neck to look.
As I got off, I remembered something I’d wanted to buy. I was early for my flight, so I decided to go back.
When I was about to go back to the train for the gate, I saw that the man and his son had returned, too.
“I want to ride some more!”
“More?” the father asked. “You’re not tired?”
“This is fun!” his son answered.
“All right,” the father replied, and when a door opened we all got on. I realized that the father and his son were
just riding this train, making it exciting, sharing each other’s company(陪伴).
There are parents who can afford to send their children to Europe or Disneyland, but the children turn out to be
bad. There are parents who live in million-dollar houses and give their children cars and swimming pools, but
something goes wrong. Why?

doesn’t cost a cent, but it is the most valuable thing in the world.24. Where did the story probably happen?
A. At the airport. B. At the supermarket.
C. At the ticket office. D. At the bus station.
25. Why did the father and the son ride the free train?
A. To see the writer off. B. To take a plane.

Do you know there is a connection(关联) between music and language? You may not believe it. But recent
studies show that music can improve certain language abilities in the brain. Now, let’s look at two examples.
Recently, researcher Kris has done a research. In his study, he divided the people into two groups. The people
in the first group were musicians, while those in the other group had no musical training. He asked these people to
listen to a person talking in a noisy room.
As a result, the musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. You may wonder why. The answer
is that musicians can hear better because they learn to pay a certain sounds. Think about violinists. When they play
with the group, they hear their own instrument and others’, too. But they must listen closely to what they are
playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to concentrate(全神贯注) on
certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
A doctor at Harvard Medical School works with stroke (中风）patients. These people cannot say their names,
addresses, or other information normally because of their illness. However, they can still sing. He was surprised to
find that singing words helped his patients to speak. Why does this work? The doctor isn’t sure. Music seems to
make different parts of the brain work.
Music can improve concentration, memory, listening skills and language abilities. It can even help sick people
get better. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain alive as we get
older. Music is not only enjoyable but also good for us in many other ways.
27. Musicians can hear better in a noisy room because they _______.
A. are trained to hear noise in a roomB. are cleverer than normal people
.
C can concentrate on certain sounds
D. have a talent in listening to music
28. The second paragraph is mainly about _______.
A. how the researcher did the study B. where the musicians got training
C. what the two groups listened to D. who took part in the study
29. Why does the writer write this passage?
.
A To show us that music can improve our hearing abilities.
B. To tell us the relationship between music and language.
C. To explain why music can help people speak clearly.
D. To introduce how music can help sick people live well.
D
What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can’t
sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a
way to make you less nervous.
“For students who feel like a deer in the headlights before taking a math test, a simple change in posture(姿
势) could make a big difference,” said Professor of Health Education Erik Peper. “The slumped-over position shuts
them down and their brains do not work as well. They cannot think as clearly. While the right-sitting up straight can
help them do better on math exams.”
Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math test while sitting in a slumped-
over position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56% of students said the exam was easier to do if they were
sitting up straight.
According to co-author Associate Professor of Health Education Richard Harvey, slumping-over is a defensiveposture. It can bring bad memories in the body and brain. This stop you from thinking clearly.
Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily get help from better posture.
But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult.
Peper and Harvey say these findings about body position can help people prepare for many different types of
performance under stress(精神压力), not just math tests. So when you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up
straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better.
30. What posture can make people feel less nervous during math exams?
A. Resting feet on the floor. B. Sitting up straight.
C. Slumping on the desk. D. Putting up one hand.
31. What’s the meaning of “feel like a deer in the headlights” in Paragraph 2?
A. run like a deer B. feel worried
C. get very excited D. read in the light
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Sitting up straight can bring good memories.
B. Slumping over can help people think clearly.
C. Nervous athletes may get help from better postures.
D. Many people feel nervous during the math exams.
33. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Slump over to take exams B. Better posture for kids
C. Sit up to do maths D. Helpful advice for exams
四、阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。
Solving Hunger
October 16 is World Food Day. The United Nations set this date as World Food Day in 1979. They wanted to
tell people to value food and care more about hunger problems.
Right now, there are over 1 billion (十亿) hungry people in the world, according to the United
Nations (UN). Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die from hunger each year.
There are many reasons for this problem. Argentine reporter Martin Caparros wrote a book called Hunger. He
said that we’re making too much food—not too little. There are enough crops to feed 10 billion people. So why do
some people still not have enough food?
The first reason is food waste. About 1.3 billion tons of food goes to waste each year, according to the UN.
That is more than one-third of all the world’s food. Second, we’re not the only ones who eat food. According to
animal protection organization Humane Society International, around 80 percent of all soybeans in the world go tofarm animals. And we have used a lot of corn to make biofuel (生物燃料). In some places, people are still
hungry because they don’t have enough farmland.
Smart farm on water
Two Spanish engineers designed a “smart” floating farm. They built the farm on water. People can turn lakes
and even ocean areas into “farmland”. It has three floors. Fish live on the lower floor and people can grow plants
and vegetates on the middle floor. They don’t need soil. The water has enough nutrition for the plants and
vegetables to grow. The top floor uses solar energy to keep the farm warm.
34. When is World Food Day?

36. What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?
