People die and property is destr

14、oyed when a tsunami hits land. What causes these dangerous sea waves？Sometimes，tsunamis are caused when earthquakes take place underwater. Then，water begins to move up and down from the top of the ocean right down to the bottom. Waves begin to form，and each wave is called a tsunami.A tsunami is less

15、 than one meter high and can move at a speed of almost 800 kilometers per hour while it is far out in the ocean. But the tsunami rises higher and higher and moves more slowly as it comes closer to land.The weather bureau(氣象局)warns people over the radio and television when a tsunami is heading for la

It shows that bees can learn something new to gain reward(獎勵). Then they can teach other bees to do the same. And thats not all they can do. Olli Luok

19、ola was one of the scientists who worded on the study. He said that the bees did not just copy what they saw. They actually improved on what they were learning. “This is of course amazing for small-brained insects,” he said. He added that it is even harder for humans to improve on something they lea

20、rned by copying others.For the experiment, the bees had to move a yellow ball into the center of a platform(平臺). First, the scientists showed the bees how to do it. When the ball got into the center, the scientists added sugar water to reward the subjects. The bees learned that the rewards came when

21、 the ball was put in the right place. They got better and better at moving the balls. Then, they got more of the reward. After a while, they began to move the balls by themselves.The scientists tried something else. They put the trained bees on a platform with bees that were not trained. After watch

22、ing the trained bees once, the untrained bees learned how to do it too. They didnt just copy the behavior, though. The new bees also improved on the action；They chose balls closer to themselves. All brains-in people and people-have neurons(神經(jīng)元) let you think. Scientist Reese Halter says bees are “hi

23、ghly intelligent creatures,” even though they have far fewer neutrons than humans. Halter explained that bees talk to each other with their bodies, but not like what we do. They use their bodies instead of words. They butt heads, bump into each other and they even dance. Luokola said scientists used

24、 to think that the smaller the brain, the less intelligent the animal! But this study proves(證明)that is not true.1The word “experiment” in the passage is most probably _.Aa medical programBa scientific testCan animal storyDa biology expert2According to paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE abo

25、ut study?AIt helps humans to get better at something by copying.BIt teaches bees to copy what they saw and do the same.CIt shows bees can learn something new to gain a reward.DIt trains the bees how to move a ball to the right place.3Paragraph 2 mainly talks about_.Awhat kind of balls bees movedBwhy

27、ults are correctedDexplain that bees are unable to learn from one another5What is the main idea of this passage?ABees are very intelligent insects though they have tiny brains.BBees can talk by bumping into one another and even dancing.CBees can copy a behavior they see but hardly improve upon it.DB

28、ees are smart enough to get a reward without moving a ball.C15、“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher（哲學家）Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets（預算）.Fo

29、r example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not t

30、hought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. Thats partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isnt tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus（關注）on subjects that are tested more often.However, learning mus

31、ic is useful in many ways.When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解碼）the

32、m in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time. Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck did wel

33、l in playing the piano.1Some schools in the US cut music classes, because _.Athey were too difficult to learn Bstudents in the US werent interested in musicCthe schools wanted to control budgets Dthere werent enough music teachers in the US2In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them” refer

34、to（指代）?AFired teachers. BPublic schools. CParents in Chicago. DStudents in Chicago.3Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?APlaying the piano needs people to see music notes.BPlaying the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.CDecoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.DDifferen

DFour.5Whats the writers opinion according to this passage?AMusic is as simple as it looks. BMusic classes should be cut in some sch

36、ools.CMusic is a big part of our lives. DMusic isnt a very important life skill for us.D16、 Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other mu

37、sical instrument（音樂樂器）, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.Put the chairs in a line. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.The game

38、 is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.The person playing music cannot see the people in th

39、e game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.At last, there will be two players and one chair. Th

40、e one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.1If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with _.Anine chairsBten chairsCeleven chairsDone chair2Which of the following is not suitable for playing musical chairs?AA pianoBA radioCA tape recorder（錄音機）DA telephone3The chai

44、o Chinese students, allowing them to study in Australian schools from the seventh grade.“When more Chinese students are going to study abroad at a younger age, the opening of Australian junior high schools offers Chinese students and their parents one more good choice,” Tian Litie, director of the A

45、ustralian Department of Chivast Education International, said at the China International Education Exhibition Tour over the weekend.Australia will see a rise in the number of Chinese junior and senior high school students studying in the country. Tian showed the reasons forit: lower admission (入學許可)

46、 requirements and low-cost education because of a favorable exchange rate (費率). According to Tian, in public schools in Australia a student should pay A$13,000 to A$15,000 ($10,000 to $12,000) a year.“Now the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to renminbi is below five, which means the cost is l

47、ower than that of Chinese students studying at junior and senior high schools in many other hot places, such as Britain and the US,” said Tian.Lin Lina from Beijing plans to send her daughter to a senior high school in Australia, was among them.“My daughter is good at English and would like to study

48、 abroad early,” said Lin, whose daughter is now a ninth-grader in Beijing. “We came for more information after we learned that the environment and education in Australia are good.”Eliza Chui, education officer for North Asia at the Australian Consulate-General in Shanghai, said that Australia is att

49、ractive not only because it provides an environment for learning English, but also because students are trained to have critical (批判性的) thinking and be independent.1According to Tian Litie, we know that _.Amore and more Chinese students study abroad at a younger ageBmore and more Australian universities are open to Chinese studentsCChinese students are only allowed to study in Australia from senior high schoolDa student should pay A$10,000 to A$12,000 a year in public schools in Australia2What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 mean?AAustralia allows Chinese students to study in its schoo
