Well, to understand this, you simply just look back at how you felt when you heard music in these places. Music is known to improve the mood of people. Often music helps us pay attention to what we are doing. Music helps patients feel good and helps them recover faster and better.Depression is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time. There are some periods in our life when everything seems difficult. It seems that everything is getting worse and we have no control over our life. Studies have shown that music can be an important mood lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great role in making us feel less nervous or worried. Anxiety can often cause loss of sleep and other illnesses.Music is often known as an international language. We may not know the language another person is speaking, but most of us respond to music in the same way. Music can often be the best way to connect with someone.Music is one of the best ways to improve your moods, but this can depend largely on the kind of music you listen to. While happy music can certainly make you feel better, sad music can further lower your spirits. Listening to classical music can often make you feel a lot more powerful, while soft music can be the perfect way to relax at the end of a long way. If you want to use music to change the way how you are feeling, you need to understand the role of it, learn to recognize the kind of music that lifts your mood and helps you feel better. Once you realize the kind of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel. The right kind of music can be the perfect way to help us feel happier.21. The passage is mainly about _.A. what meanings music has B. how we control our moodsC. how music affects our moods D. what kind of music we listen to22. According to the passage, playing music in restaurants is to _.A. wele the customers B. make customers feel goodC. make customers dance D. make customers feel powerful23. From the passage, we can know that _.A. most of us suffer depression all the timeB. most of us respond to music in different waysC. music can be a good way to connect with othersD. any kind of music will help us improve our moods24. According to the passage, which kind of music can relax ourselves from a long days work?A. Soft music. B. Classical music. C. Sad music. D. Rock music.BDid you know that something as simple as the wallpaper on your puter can tell people a lot about you? According to researcher Donna Dawson, our puters say something about what were like because they are part of our “personal space.”A picture of a child or family on the screen often means the person cares deeply about their loved ones. A photo of the person surrounded by friends shows they value their popularity and probably work well with other people. On the other hand, pictures showing examples of past successes, like winning a prize may mean a person is only interested in themselves.Pictures of nature and natural scenery tell people that you are driven to succeed and use the pictures to relax and remove the pressure in your life. Cityscapes, pictures of cities or towns, show that you enjoy travel and adventure. Most people with cityscapes as their wallpaper are optimistic and happy people who feel even better thinking about the places theyve visited or they want to visit.Pictures of animals show that you are optimistic and kind-hearted. You are often happy and you enjoy life and act young. Cartoons or drawings show that you are a multitasker, someone who does many things at once. You have many responsibilities, but you deal with them well. Thats one reason you like having something to smile about when you look at your puter wallpaper.Then, what does plain blue wallpaper tell us about a person? According to Dawson, a person with plain blue wallpaper probably values their privacy and keeps work from being too personal.25. A prize photo as wallpaper suggests someone_.A. has a strong wish to succeed B. is confident about himself or herselfC. cares only about himself or herself D. works very well with others26. Those who look on the bright side of things are likely to have wallpaper like_.A. pictures of nature and natural scenery B. city views or pictures of animalsC. pictures showing their past successes D. photos of staying with friends27. What can be the best title for the text?A. Where to Look for Your puter WallpaperB. puter Wallpaper Shows Your PersonalityC. How to Place Wallpaper on Your puterD. puter Wallpaper Interests EveryoneCIf you are human, you cant help but experience times when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is pletely out of control. It is during those “down times” that words of encouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers can lighten your spirits. It is also during those times that destructive words can sink you deeper and deeper into depression.For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit(坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.The two frogs ignored the ments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Dont let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.28. The first paragraph tells us that words play an important part especially when _.A. we stay with our family, friends and co-workers B. we hear strangers say something to usC. we get through hard times in life D. we make some big mistakes29. The underlined phrase “took heed of” has the similar meaning with “_.”A. acted according to B. had some doubt C. held on to D. got used to30. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety. Thats because_.A. he struggled to prove that they were wrongB. he thought they were encouraging himC. he was angry with what they saidD. he didnt want to let them down31. After reading the passage, readers should learn a lesson that _.A. we can use encouraging words to help others outB. having a positive attitude is important in lifeC. never give up until we winD. we must believe in ourselves rather than othersDRobert Taylor, who was helpful in creating the Internet and the modern personal puter, has died. He was 85.“Any way you look at it, from kick-starting the Internet to launching the personal puter revolution, Bob Taylor was a key architect of our modern world,” Leslie Berlin, a historian at the Stanford University Silicon Valley Archives project, told the New York Times.In 1961, Taylor was a project manager for Nasa when he directed funding to Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute, who helped develop the modern puter mouse. Taylor was working for the Pentagons Advanced Research Projects Agency (Arpa) in 1966 when he instructed the creation of a single puter network to link Arpa-sponsored researchers at panies and institutions around the country. Taylor was frustrated that he had to use three separate terminals to municate with the researchers through their puter systems.A few years later, Taylor went on to work at Xeroxs famous Palo Alto Research Center(Parc), where he shepherded a team that helped create the Alto, a pioneering personal puter, which supplied each researcher with an individual workstation instead of sharing time on a room-sized mainframe(主机). It was designed to use a graphical interface, which enabled the user to mand the device through icons, windows and menus instead of typing text mands in puter language. The technology inspired Microsofts Windows software and the Apple puters.In the 1990s, Taylor ran the Systems Research Center in Palo Alto for Digital Equipment Corporation. The lab helped create Alta Vista, one of the first internet search engines. Taylor retired in 1996.In 1999, Taylor was awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. In xx, he and other Parc researchers were awarded the Draper prize from the National Academy of Engineering for development of “the first practical networked personal puters”.32. When was the creation of a single puter network produced?A. In 1961. B. In 1966. C. In xx. D. In 1996.33. What can we infer about Alto from paragraph 4?A. It is a leading personal puter.B. It is designed to use a special menu.C. It has many advantages in personal puter.D. It provides each researcher with an individual workstation.34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “shepherded” in Paragraph 4?A. Guided. B. Undertook. C. Developed. D. Motivated.35. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Life of Robert Taylor.B. The Achievements of Robert Taylor. C. Robert Taylor: An Internet and puter Pioneer. D. Robert Taylors Contributions to Personal puter.笫二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从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。Attacking school fearsThere are real fears and imagined ones.
