Music is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a “l(fā)anguage” that the whole world can understand. A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.
I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke... even our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination(暗殺) of President John Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.
Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It's also a great source of inspiration.
Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs. Close your eyes, and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images—matching the music that you are listening to.
(1)Music has magical power because it ________.
A.is a kind of language
B.can be played much louder than words
C.receives a personal radio signal
D.can influence a person's spirit
(2)One can learn from the second paragraph that the Beatles ________.

(1)D
(2)C

(3)C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself. 使人們感到要更新自己;第三段最后兩句Music has a great way of touching people. 音樂有一種偉大的感人的方式;Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It's also a great source of inspiration. 它也是一種精神鼓勵(lì)的源頭。故排除A、B、D,選C。

【題目】閱讀理解
Sunscreens (防曬霜) can offer protection from two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays (紫外線): UVB, which according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, are the chief cause of sunburn and play a key role in the development of skin cancer, and UVA, which get through the skin more deeply and are largely responsible for skin aging and wrinkling, as well as skin cancer risk. The SPF (防曬指數(shù)) measurement on sunscreens refers to the UVB protection level — and the number may not mean what you think it does. SPF 15 doesn't protect you from 15% of UVB rays, just as SPF 100 doesn't protect you from 100% of the rays. In fact, as you get into the higher numbered SPF sunscreens (think: 50 and above), the difference in UVB protection is actually pretty small.
Theoretically, though the increase in UVB protection with a super-high SPF sunscreen may be not worth considering, it may help, and certainly can't hurt, to use it — that is, as long as you do so correctly. “The only downside is whether you're giving yourself a sense of false security,” Dr. Gohara says.
Indeed, as Dr. Wang also pointed out, when people choose increased SPFs, they may actually feel so protected by the product that they finally ignore proper sun protection. “When people use really high SPF products, they tend not to reuse, they tend to stay out in the sun much longer, and they don't use other protective measures such as clothing and hats,” he says. Regardless of any increase in protection that a high SPF may or may not offer, one thing is certain: It doesn't give your body a free pass from sunburns, aging, or cancers, and it doesn't protect you from those things for any greater length of time than the lower SPF options. Both Dr. Wang and Dr. Gohara emphasized that, no matter what the SPF is, it's important to reapply your sunscreen every two hours.
(1)What rays can cause skin cancer according to the text?
A.UV
B.UVA
C.UVB
D.UVA&UVB
(2)What can we know about SPF from Paragraph 1?
A.It tells us the UVB protection level.
B.It's better to use higher numbered SPF.
C.SPA100 means preventing 100% rays.
D.There's a big difference between SPF 50 and above.
(3)Which of the following can replace the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 2?
A.protection
B.disadvantage
C.result
D.method
(4)Why are we advised to reapply our sunscreen every two hours?
A.We choose too low SPF products.
B.The higher SPF can make us stay outside longer.
C.Clothing and hats are not enough for sun protection.
D.It can't completely protect us from aging, sunburns or cancers.

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard my first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor’s orders. So once I started the car, my mind goes blank, I forgot all what he had said to me. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up!” “Slow down!” “Turning left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle the road.

【題目】1You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:

Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. . Then decide a good, regular time for studying.2A weekly schedule(安排) may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

Make good use of your time in class.3Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, preview the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, and read that material.4If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.

5You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

B. Maybe you are an average student.

C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.

D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.

E. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.

F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.

G. This will help you understand the next class.
