8．Fifty years ago，the wellloved musician Bob Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed （噓聲）．The audience may have been unhappy but Dylan's performance helped change the direction of music and culture in the United States．
The mid1960s were a time of great change．One such place of change was the world of folk music．Bob Dylan became a symbol of change when he moved from acoustic （原聲的）to electric guitar．
Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the change．It is called"Dylan Goes Electric．"
"There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the Billboard charts and seven of the top 10albums were folk records．And Joan Baez，Peter Paul and Mary，the Kingston Trio，all had huge，huge，huge numberone records．"
And then this happened：The"British Invasion"introduced the world to the Beatles and grew a huge fan base for rock music．That worried many folk musicians，says Elijah Wald．
They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue．However，a new Dylan sound came from the stage．
Bob Dylan had gone electric，and the followers of folk music were not pleased．
"When Dylan went electric，I think one of the issues was the feeling that-wait a minute，he's gone over to the enemy．"
Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from rock and roll．But，author Wald says Dylan felt differently about the music．
"Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn't think of rock and roll as stupid music．"
In fact，Dylan was a Beatles fan．He later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles he knew"they were pointing to the direction where music had to go．"
Beyond the music，Dylan's performance that night also marked a turn in American culture．

8．How did the audience feel when Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival？B
A．Excited．B．Unsatisfied．C．Respectful．D．Bored．
9．Which is TRUE about American music world in the early 1960s according to Elijah Wald？C
A．Great changes had taken place in folk music．
B．People had grown sincere love for rock music．
C．Folk music was once a huge mainstream pop trend．
D．Bob Dylan was the best American musician at that time．
10．What did folk musicians and followers expect Dylan to do？B
A．Change folk music for better．
B．Recover the glory of folk music．
C．Introduce the world to the Beatles．
D．Play rock and roll against the Beatles．
11．What will the author most probably talk about next？D
A．Dylan's deep love for the Beatles'rock and roll music．
B．Dylan's beliefs in the new direction music should go．
C．Dylan's music as a great contribution to American folk music．
D．Dylan's performance as a mark of a change in American culture．

18．One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend．"One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that，with a few important exceptions，mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states．"said Neville Alexander，Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town．
In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration，many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade．In some，the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters．One of the first such legal provisions（規(guī)定） was the 1994"Toubon law"in France，and the idea has been copied in many countries since then．Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts，who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process．
It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the"purity"of a language by law．Since the time of Shakespeare，English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language．English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world，but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power．Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things．English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language，similar，for example，to the Academic Francaise in France．
The need to protect national languages is，for most western Europeans，a recent phenomenon-------especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields．Public communication，education and new ways of communication promoted by technology，may be key fields to defend．

32．Neville Alexander believes thatD．
A．mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countries
B．globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa
C．globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trend
D．lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure
33．The underlined word"futile"（in paragraph 2）most probably means"C"．
A．workable       B．practical        C．useless        D．unnecessary
34．What can we infer from the last paragraph？B
A．English has taken over fields like public communication and education．
B．Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English．
C．Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language．
D．Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language．
35．The best title for the passage isB．
A．Fighting against the rule of English
B．Protecting local languages and identities
C．Globalization and multi-languag trend
D．To maintain the purity of language by law．

19．A．When something comes from within you，you always try your best to analyze it in a scientific way．
B．Psychologists call this private speech----language that is spoken loud but directed at yourself
C．So words to the self，spoken silently or loud，are so much more than just chatter
D．We keep the private speech we use as children inside------but we never truly put away the out=loud version．
E．According to he well-known saying，talking to yourself is the first sign of madness．
F．Self-talk is efficient because when we are vocal about our thoughts，it makes a larger impact on our brain．

Self-talk helps us allTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful．If you've ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech，you'll know the social problems it can cause．（67）E
But there's no need for embarrassment．Talking to ourselves，whether out loud or silently in our heads，is valuable．Far from being a sign of insanity，self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do，manage our activities and control our emotions．
For example，take a trip to any preschool and watch a small girl playing with her toys．You are very likely to hear her talking to herself：offering herself directions and talking about her problems．（68）BWe do a lot of it when we are young．
As children，according to the Russian Psychologist Lev Vygotsky，we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others．As we grow older，we keep this system inside．
Psychological experiments have shown that this so-called inner speech can improve our performance in tasks like telling what other people are thinking．Our words give us an interesting view of our actions．One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we talk to ourselves in the second person：as"you"rather than"I"（69）DIf you want proof，turn to a sports channel．You're sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or herself．
Talking to ourselves seems to be a very good way of solving problems and working through ideas．Hearing different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different place，just like a regular dialogue，and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity．
Both kinds of self-talk-----silent and out loud----seem to bring many different benefits to our thinking．（70）C-

20．The days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past．The famous tourist town of Wuzhen，China，is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction．The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry，and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds．The technology is thought to be up to 99.77percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human．
Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning river system and museums．Baidu，a web firm often referred to as"Chinese Google"，created the system．When people now check in to their accommodation，they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database upon leaving and re-entering the town，the system will re-check that they are still a guest at a hotel，before allowing them back in．
The technology is being used to track the 5，000 visitors that stay in the town's hotels every day．Yuanqing Lin，director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu，told The Verge，"With our technology，you don't need to give your ID．When you are approaching a gate it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database．"Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket-entry system，but this could easily be abused．It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying．
Baidu's system is based on neural networks，which can process huge amounts of dat---more than one billion faces．As well as recognizing faces，the system can also discover facial movements，so it can't be fooled by someone holding up a mask．
Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters．

17．Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life．Every waking moment，the eyes are working to see the world around us．Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
﹡Schedule yearly exams．（16）B． Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check．The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eyeglasses．
﹡Protect against UV rays （紫外線(xiàn)）．Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes．No matter what the season is，it's extremely important to wear sunglasses．（17）C．

19．One way people are responding to food safety concerns is by growing their own food．However，not everyone lives on property with enough space for a private plot．One solution is community gardens，which have become popular worldwide，numbering 18，000 in North America alone．In addition to providing low-cost，delicious food，these public spaces offer cities a range of other benefits．
Community gardens are located in a town or city and tended by local residents．Often，the land is on a vacant lot owned by the city．The site is divided into manageable plots，which may be tended by individuals or by the garden's members collectively．Since the land is usually publicly owned，the cost for gardeners to lease it is minimal．In fact，New York City，which is home to more than 750 community gardens tended by more than 20，000 members，charges people just $1 a year to lease a plot．Other costs involve soil，tools，seeds，fencing，and so on．However，because they're shared by many people，individual gardeners pay very little．
A community garden can quickly pay off，in terms of delicious fruits and vegetables，in addition to beautiful flowers．Excess produce can be sold for a profit at farmers markets．But a garden's benefit don't stop there．They also beautify cities，foster strong relationships among residents，and lower an area's crime rate．Award-winning spaces like London's Culpeper Community Garden even attract tourists．Beautiful and affordable，community gardens are often described as oases in crowded cities．
 
56．Community gardens are designed for those whoA．
A．a(chǎn)re concerned about food safety
B．live in a house with a private plot
C．can't afford to buy organic food
D．don't have their own property
57．New York CityC．
A．is owned by 20，000 individual gardeners
B．charges residents a lot to lease tools and fencing

D．is tended by professional gardeners and local residents
58．What's the benefit of community gardens？B
A．People can enjoy safe and delicious vegetables and animal meat．
B．Residents are more familiar and related with each other．
C．The neighborhood is becoming safer but of lower taste．
D．People can make some profits from the visiting tourists．
59．The underlined word"oases"is closest in meaning toC．
