Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This is
started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching.
21. This passage mainly talks about ____.
A. American music B. American popular music
C. three sorts of music D. popular music singers
22. The first three paragraphs mainly tell us ____.
A. that Americans dislike popular music
B. that popular music is an important kind of music in America
C. how to become an international star as a pop singer in America
D. popular music in America is what every teacher like
23. In the USA, as a pop singer, if you want to become a national star, you’ll have to ____.

B
Then comes the July, and with it are examinations; but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. Boys and girls have nearly two months holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.
The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of one’s time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to the park to play.
The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.
In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.
Now, why do children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one’s feet, of salt water on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s back that make the seaside what it is.
24. Summer holidays start _______.
A. with July B. as soon as the examinations are over
C. in mid----June D. in August
25. After the examinations, all the pupils leave for home -_____.
A. by train only B. by car
C. by bike D. by either train or car
26. The summer holidays last ______.
A. nearly three months B. more than three months
C. one and a half months D. about two months
27. Children like the seaside so much, because they can ____.
A. swim in the sea B. play with the sand
C. take a sunbath D. do all of the above
C
Bees seem to fly aimlessly as they search for the sugary liquid called nectar (花蜜). But their flight plans actually do have a pattern. Flowers act as the insects’ air-traffic controllers. And new research shows bees prefer flowers that aren’t too flashy.
Flowers give bees clues about how much a plant can offer. Those clues can be in the color of petals, in the type, in the smell or even in the electrical charge. All of these characteristics send signals to the bees, telling them whether to land or not, among which the colors play the most significant role. The insects keep track of the color of the flowers that are especially rich in nectar. They then visit more flowers of that color.
However, color can’t guarantee bees a good meal. It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals. A yellow follower, for example, may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another. Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England. Glover and her colleagues showed that even when the color of petals looks similar, bees behave differently in searching for nectar. They started to guess that the strength of petals’ indescence (色彩斑斓) might be related to how bees find the petals.
Glover and her colleagues tested their hypothesis in the lab. In their experiment, they found that bees felt confused sometimes when the petals were very iridescent and that bees had no problem finding the flowers with more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent. The team shared its new findings in the March 21 Current Biology.
“At first glance, it’s very surprising because animals can usually detect a more vivid signal more easily,” says Klaus Lunau, a biologist in Germany, who was not involved in the study.
28. What can we know about the flight of bees?
A. They usually fly in a regular pattern. B. They fly under the direction of flowers.
C. They usually fly without any purpose. D. They fly to some very flashy flowers.
29. What is the most important clue for bees to search for nectar?
A. The petals’ type. B. The followers’ smell.
C. The followers’ electrical charge. D. The petals’ color.
30. What does the underlined word “hypothesis” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Discussion. B. Method. C. Assumption. D. Invention
31. What is the new finding of the team?
A. Petals that are not very flashy are better for bees to make adjustments.
B. Petals of different color usually give different signals.
C. Petals that are vivid are detected by bees more easily.
D. Petals of different types make bees confused to find the right flower.
D
