It started in the 16th century, and it is still popular all over the world. There were lots of great classical musicians in its history. Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are three of them. Haydn was a great musician. He could play the piano, the violin and other instruments. He wrote a lot of great music. His Symphony (交响曲) No.94, The Surprise Symphony is the most popular. People call him “the father of classical music”. Mozart was a great composer (作曲家). He could write music when he was a child. He wrote over 600 musical pieces. Mozart was famous for his operas, too. The Magic Flute is the most popular one of them. We can enjoy a lot of his music nowadays. Classical music would not be quite the same without Beethoven. He was famous for his symphonies. Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony is the most famous. Disney movie Fantasia uses a part of the symphony. Beethoven wrote only one opera, Fidelio, in his life. 26. Who was “the father of classical music”? A.

The reason why the three musicians got famous. C. The popularity of classical music. D. Three great classical music musicians. (B) Computers help humans with a lot of things, from searching for information to math. Now, they may be able to help us in more complex (复杂的) ways. Recent research has shown a new computer program that can recognize (识别) human emotions (情感), simply based on how they type. Researchers from the Islamic University of Technology in Bangladesh asked a group of people to type two paragraphs from Lewis Carroll’s novel Alice in Wonderland. The participants (参与者) then chose an emotional state they felt while typing. Emotions tested were joy, fear, sadness and shame. Then the researchers put the text into the computer to study. Surprisingly, the computer was right 70 percent of the time in telling the participants’ emotional states. The most correct emotions it guessed correctly were joy (87 percent) and anger (81 percent). The least correct emotion the computer guessed was sadness (60 percent). However, the computer program is limited (局限) in what it can do. But scientists believe that it will help humans in the future. “If we could build any program that is smart enough to communicate with humans involving (含有) emotion, then using machines could be more effective (有效的) and friendly,” the researchers wrote in the study. For example, when looking for a movie online, perhaps a computer program could make suggestions for films that would match your mood. And as the researchers said, this type of computer program could also help humans in a number of ways. First, with online teaching, emotionally intelligent computers could change their teaching style or content (内容) to help students learn better. Second, with online conversation, doctors could be able to tell the emotion of a patient. 29. How many kinds of emotions were tested according to the passage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Two. D. Six. 30. According to the passage, what was the least correct emotion the computer guessed? A. Sadness. B. Fear. C. Anger. D. Joy. 31. What can the computer program help students to do? A. Change the teaching style. B. Learn better. C. Tell a patient’s feeling. D. Keep healthy. 32. Where can we probably read this passage? A. In a story book. B. In a travel guide. C. In a sports magazine. D. In a science magazine. (C) Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be in the dark. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the motion picture camera and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new. Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. He started experimenting at a young age. When he was 12 years old, he got his first job． He became a newsboy (报童) on a train． He did experiments on the train in his spare time. Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well. They fired him when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the train. Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time in experimenting his first patent (专利) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity． Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing (祝福) in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He always worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat. Thomas Edison died at the age of 84. He left a great many inventions that greatly improved the quality of life all over the world. 33. What does the underlined word “fired” mean in this passage? A.

He had little difficulties in experimenting (D) Do you want to live a happier life? Try laughing for no reason. That’s how many people start their day at Laughter Yoga(瑜伽) Clubs around the world, and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Yoga Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults (成人) laugh between 7 and 15 times a day, ”says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” A study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California shows that laughter reduces stress (减缓压力) and is very good for the heart. Laughter Yoga is used in many hospitals for the illness treatment (疾病治疗) and it is also practiced in schools, factories and old people’s homes. So, what is Laughter Yoga? I went to my nearest Laughter Club to find out. I was quite nervous about it. I didn’t like the idea of laughing with others. First, our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say, “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” He said our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they both work. After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real! We did different kinds of laughter exercises and finally I was surprised by how relaxed I felt. So if you’re upset about something, just start laughing. As Dr Kataria says, “When you laugh, you change, and when you change, the world changes around you.” 37. What can we learn from Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2? A. Everyone starts their day at Laughter Yoga Club. B. The first Laughter Club was started in California. C. Many doctors think that laughing is good for health. D. Adults laugh as many times a day as young children. 38. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A. Laughter. B. Study. C. Illness treatment. D. Laughter Yoga. 39. How did the writer feel in his Laughter Club experience? a. Nervous. b. Surprised. c. Upset. d. Relaxed. A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd 40. What is the purpose (目的) of the passage? A. To ask us to join Laughter Yoga Club. B. To advise us to laugh for a happier life. C. To show us different ways of laughing. D. To tell us the man behind Laughter Yoga Club. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题：每题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填人短文空白处的最佳项, 使短文通顺、连贯, 意思完整。 In different countries, people have different opinions about numbers.

Most students, 76%, spend 1 to 2 hours reading because they think reading makes their life colorful. Only 4% read for 2 to 3 hours, as they truly believe reading is very important. In my opinion, reading is really helpful. It opens our eyes and helps us learn more knowledge. Though we have much homework, we should spare some time to read every day and form a good reading habit. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
