DIt was difficult and boring. 24.What might be the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo explain how to prepare for trips.BTo advise on how to spend a gap year.CTo describe his experience in his gap year.DTo encourage students to do parttime work.BThere have certainly been records that have been hugely popular and some of those have had a message.Can there be many songs that really did change the world？Did they really change the hearts and minds of ordinary people?Thereisone，Goettingen，which did，but its hardly known now.Even though France and Germany are neighbors，there wasbadfeeling between them 50 years ago as a result of World War .Into this area of hatred and anger stepped a singer with a gentle voice.Barbara was her stage name.She took it from her Russian grandmother.She was born in Paris in 1930.She was Jewish and so a target (目标) for the Nazis.But，twenty years after the end of the Second World War，she travelled to the German city Goettingen.She fell in love with the city and its people and recorded the song Goettingen，first in French and then in German.It moved her German audience at the theatre.The song became a hit.A street was named after her.The city gave itsMedal of Honor to her.The songs popularity made animportant contribution to repairing FranceGermanyrelations.One of the people in the audience was a student by thename of Gerhard Schroeder.He later became Chancellor ofGermany.He said：“I was a college student when she cameto sing.It went to our hearts，the start of a wonderfulfriendship between our countries.” Listening to the song today，its easy to understand itsattraction then.It is still a beautiful song of love，although itis a bit sad in parts.Barbara had much to be sad about.Shewas extremely frightened by the war.In Germany，she was loved for the love she had givento the people.In France，she was a star.Streets were namedafter her there，too.A stamp had her face on it.When shedied in 1997,250 thousand people went to the funeral (葬礼)Lionel Jospin，who served as Prime Minister of Francefrom 1997 to 2002，once said：“Barbara was a woman whoknew suffering and understood the suffering of others.”25The author raises questions in the first paragraph to_.Aintroduce the topicBexpect an answerCcriticize some songs Dsupport his argument26It can be learned from the text that_.ABarbara died in her eightiesBa French city was named after BarbaraCBarbara once appeared on Germany stampsDLionel Jospin believed Barbara was a caring lady27What would be the best title for the text?ABarbara，a great singerBA song that made historyCGermanFrench friendship DAn unknown beautiful song28The text is most probably taken from_.Aa tour guide Ba news reportCa personal diaryDan entertainment magazineCPopular Clone by ME.Castle is a book that is perfect for middle school students and younger high school students.It was published on Jan.24,2012.Fisher Bas is a 12yearold boy with some serious bullying (欺负) events.Fisher is the son of two scientists and is not short of interest in science.He is smart，a bit of a dreamer and small.This has got the attention of one teacher and three bullies who have named themselves the Vikings.In his willingness to escape the rules of school，Fisher develops an idea of using his mother s top secret experiment to make a perfect clone(克隆)He creates a clone who goes to school and bears those terrible things while he himself stays at home and enjoys video games and snack food.His plan could have results ranging from perfect to disastrous.I think Fisher is a character that most children and adults can relate themselves to on some levels.He does not try to keep away from some forms of conflict (冲突) or uncomfortable moments simply by blending (混合) into the background.He has little faith in himself，except when it comes to his scientific skills and experiments.His clone，Two，does not like Fisher.He steps up and becomes more accepted and popular than Fisher himself ever was.I recommend Popular Clone to middle school aged students and anyone who just wants to keep away from bullies and conflict.Anyone who has ever faced a disaster in selfrespect will see a little bit of themselves in Fisher.The story could really make a difference in the life of young readers，showing them that being true to themselves is important and that standing up for themselves does not rely on negative actions.29What can we learn about the hero of the book，Fisher Bas?AHe is not brave though he is clever.BHe makes friends with three bullies.CHe is 12 and he loses interest in science.DHis dad is a professor while his mom isnt.30Fisher uses his mothers top secret experiment to_.Alearn more about scientific knowledgeBcreate a clone to go to school in the name of himCcreate a teacher to teach him lessonsDlearn more about the knowledge of cloning a man31We can infer from the passage that_.AFisher Bas believes in himselfBFishers mothers experiment is successfulCFisher is embarrassed as the secret is let outDFisher becomes the best student in his class32Which is the lesson that Fishers story gives us?AWe must be true to ourselves.BScientific technology is important.COne should face difficulty bravely.DStudents should like their studies.DOffice workers should know that long periods of sitting at your desk may be a killer.Scientists have shown a new threat from this lifestyle that they call “muscular inactivity (肌肉迟钝)”Sitting still for long periods of time leads to the buildup of substances (物质) in the blood that are harmful to health.And exercise alone wont drive them away.Millions of people spend their days between car，office desk and the sofa in front of the TV.While the bad influences are well rocognized，it has been thought that they can be changed by regular trips to the gym or swimming pool.Now researchers say that is not enough.In addition to regular exercise，office workers need to keep moving while they work，by making regular trips to the printer，coffee machine or to chat with workmates.Elin EkblomBak，an expert on health，says research shows long periods of sitting and lack (缺乏) of “whole body muscular movement” are strongly linked to obesity，heart disease and cancer，and a higher risk of death，regardless of (不管) whether they take enough exercise.“Everyone knows about the health benefits of regular exercise.But what we havent realized before is that longperiod sitting down carries an extra risk that cannot be dealt with by taking exercise，” Dr EkblomBak said，adding that sitting still should be recognized as a risk to health.“It is important to have a fiveminute break from desk work every 45 minutes.Dont email workmateswalk across the office to give them the message.Take a coffee break or put the printer in the next room.I am a desk worker and I try to do it.It is not difficult but sometimes you get lost in your work and you forget about it.”However，more studies are needed to confirm the ill effects of sitting for too long and ways of fighting them.But at present they conclude that “keep moving” should be added to the advice to “keep exercising.”33Nowadays，many office workers wrongly think that_.Along periods of sitting has bad influences on themBregular exercise benefits them after long periods of sittingCthey are living a lifestyle called “muscular inactivity”Dits unfair for them to sit in the office for too long34What does the author suggest office workers should do?AChat with workmates often.BSend emails instead of chatting.CKeep moving in the office regularly.DTake more exercise after work.35What would be the best title for the passage?AA new threat：longperiod sittingBOffice workers should keep exercisingCTaking exercise benefits a lotDKeep moving，it could save your
