The world famous Boston Symphony Orchestra normally performs at Symphony Hall in
Boston, Massachusetts. But its summer home is the Tanglewood Music Center in western
Massachusetts.
The Boston Symphony Orchestra also has a summer program at Tanglewood. It is designed for
young singers, musicians and those who create musical works. Great composers like Aaron Copland,
Leonard Bernstein and John Adams have worked There.
Serge Koussevitzky led the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1940. At the time Europe was at war.
The United States did not enter World War I until the end of 1941. Mr. Koussevitzky persuaded people
in the music industry to open a music school at Tanglewood, the BSO’s summer home. He wanted
young, gifted musicians toattend the school for free.
But within two years, the program almost came to an end. “The BSO trustees(托管人) wanted to
close the school because of the war and Koussevitzky was angry, and wrote a letter calling it an ‘act of
artistic vandalism(损坏)’. And he said, ‘Now is the time when the world needs to be hearing this
music’,” says Jeremy Eichler, a music critic for The Boston Globe newspaper. “This music” was not
Just works by Beethoven or Brahms. It was the sounds of the time.
Mr. Koussevitzky chose composer Aaron Copland to head the school. “In establishing Aaron
Copland as the head of the school not as the head of composition, he was making a very specific
statement…And I think he felt very strongly that paying attention to the music of one’s own time is the
way to ensure that there will be a future,” says Jeremy Eichler.
Paul Hindemith was a refugee (难民) from the war in Europe. He was chosen as the first head of
Tanglewood’s music composition department. He and Copland decided that the school would be a
place where composers write new musical works.
Their first performance was Alleluia, a piece written by American composer Randall Thompson.
Alleluia has opened the school’s program every summer since it was first performed. Since it opened,
Tanglewood’s young musicians, singers and conductors have performed many new compositions.
They include the first American performance of Benjamin Britten’s opera Peter Grimes. This year, for
its 75th anniversary, the center asks composers to write 34 new pieces of music.
24.What happened to the Tanglewood Music Center?
A. Aaron Copland once worked as the head of the school.B. Many young, gifted musicians attended the school in 1941.
C. It was closed in 1943 because of the World War II.
D. It was created by Serge Koussevitzky in 1940.
25.Which of the following is in agreement with Serge Koussevitzky’s opinions?
A. The great music should be the reflection of the time.
B. The young should have the chance to learn music for free.
C. The head of a music school should be a composer.
D. The traditional music should not be emphasized.
26.It can be referred that the Tanglewood Music Center attaches importance to .
A. performing new works every year B. the compositions of famous musicians
C. working with famous composers D. the young talented musicians creation.
27.What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The great changes taking place in the Tanglewood Music Center.
B. A brief introduction to the Tanglewood Music Center.
C. The development of the Tanglewood Music Center.
D. The events that make the Tanglewood Music Center famous.

It’s a real case of fish out of water. Blennies (鲇鱼) in the South Pacific Ocean are gradually
relocating to land to escape their predators (捕食者), in an example of evolution in action.
Fish first began crawling onto dry land about 400 million years ago, kicking off an evolutionary
chain of events that led to humans. But their reasons for exiting the sea have been uncertain.
To look for clues, Terry Ord at the University of New South Wales in Australia has been studying
several species of blennies at Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands.
At low tide, blennies are commonly found swimming in rock pools around the edges of the
island. But when high tide moves in, they climb up to dry land and move around the rocks until the tide
retreats.
The researchers found that this is most likely to avoid predators that swim in with the rising tide –
mainly bigger fish like lionfish.
To test what would happen if blennies did not have an escape plan, they made blenny models and
sank them in the sea. The mimics ended up with wounds, bite marks and chunks-missing.Of course, there are still dangers for blennies on land, like the occasional bird attack, but the
predation risk on land is a third that of underwater.
What’s more, moving onto land has additional benefits for blennies. Holes in the rocks provide
sheltered nests for laying eggs, and they can maintain their diet of bacteria.
In fact, several species of blenny fish at Rarotonga have already made the full transition to
land-dwelling (陆生的) species. They continue to breathe with their gills, but have developed stronger
tail fins and jump from rock to rock.
Ord believes that many evolutionary processes have been driven by the need to escape predators.
“It is often assumed that animals move homes to find new sources of food, but in many cases, escaping
predators is a stronger motivation.” he says.
28.Why do blennies climb to dry land when high tide comes?
A. To acquire better health. B. To search for more food.
C. To seek safer living conditions. D. To adapt to a new environment.
29.What does the underlined part “The mimics” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. The rocks in the water. B. The predators of blennies.
C. The researchers of blennies. D. The models of blennies.
30.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Ord’s research opens a new view.
B. Ord wonders why animals move homes.
C. Ord shows us the benefits of blennies’ evolution.
D. Ord has discovered how fish have become land dwellers.
31.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Blennies’ Living Habits B. Why Blennies Choose to Live on Land
C. Blennies’ Evolutionary Process D. How Blennies Escape from their Predators
D
Research shows that splashing the cash can increase feelings of pleasure-but it depends on who
you spend it on. According to a growing body of evidence, it seems that it can. But what makes us
really happy is not buying ourselves the latest iPhone, but splashing our cash on other people. In a
study published last week, looking at the link between generosity and happiness, researchers from
Zurich University divided 50 participants into two groups and asked them to publicly promise how they would spend a monthly donation. One group was asked to spend 25 Swiss francs a week on gifts
or outings for other people, and the second group was asked to spend it on themselves.
Levels of happiness were measured on a subjective scale before and after the commitment. Those
in the first group who promised generously increased their happiness more than the group who
planned to buy themselves treats.
Participants then underwent an MRI scan to see which bits of the brain were the most active
during generous acts. During the scan, participants were asked to work out how they would like to
spend money on a person of their choice. Some of the choices involved participants having to pay
extra out of their own pocket to give a gift. For example, they were told they would have to pay 20
francs in order for the receiver of their generosity to get 15 francs. There is a part of the brain—the
temporo-parietal junction (头顶骨结合点)—that neuroscientists say is associated with generosity,as
well as one linked with happiness—the ventral striatum (脑纹状体). When people made generous
decisions in this study, both areas of the brain showed increased activity. The researchers conclude
that their findings have important implications for all of us.
It is human nature, the evidence shows, to be generous, although, when asked in surveys, we
assume that self-interest is a stronger emotion. But, it turns out, such self-interest doesn’t make us
nearly as happy as giving to others. Studies in which people have been given envelopes of money to
spend show that those who spent a proportion of it on a gift, or gave some to charity, felt happier than
those who spent it on a present for themselves or a bill they needed to pay. A study of young children
found that even toddlers (学步小孩) felt happier giving rather than getting treats. Other studies show
that volunteering increases happiness.
Research looking at survey data from 136 countries found that spending on others has a
“consistent, causal impact on happiness.” This was true across a range of cultures and economies. The
best news is that you don’t have to give much to feel the benefits. And it is morally fine to give only
because it makes you happier.
32.Why do the researchers from Zurich University divide 50 participants into two groups?
A. To stress how important feeling happy is.
B. To check whether they will donate generously.
C. To show how to splash our cash on other people.
D. To look at the connection between generosity and happiness.33.What do the words “important implications” in the last sentence of Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. To be generous is human nature.
B. It’s hard for people to make generous decisions.
C. To be generous doesn’t make one happy as expected.
D. Bits of the brain have nothing to do with generosity.
34.What message does the passage mainly convey?
A. Getting treats is more delightful than giving for toddlers.
B. Whoever spends money on others can be truly depressed or feel gloomy.
C. Whoever is a giver of a gift or to a charity will morally feel more cheerful.
D. A gift can be anything but beneficial for the giver as well as the receiver.
35.Which of the following can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Can money buy you happiness?
B. What is the quality of personal relationships?
C. What is the purpose of undergoing an MRI scan?
D. How to balance self-interest and encourage generosity?

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We are surrounded by messages trying to get our attention. Advertisers, politicians and other
groups all try to get us to agree with them. 36. Propaganda is not always a bad thing, but it often hides
the truth about a topic. Its very similar to advertising, whose goal is to get people to buy something,
while propaganda is to change what people believe.
Propaganda Techniques
To create propaganda, a common technique is name-calling. A politician might call someone a
traitor or liar, which makes the other person look bad. Another is the trend technique. People want to
be on the side in the favor. 37.， Some propaganda is based on fear. It scares people into choosing a
certain side or taking action, which might not be bad. Anti—smoking campaigns are one example.
They may scare people into thinking that if they smoke, they will get cancer.
38.
Propaganda is used by many groups, such as businesses, politicians and the government .It is
spread through posters, television and radio. The Internet makes it easy to send messages to the whole world.
Types of Propaganda
Political propaganda has been around as long as there have been politicians 39.People have used it for
many years. War propaganda began during World War I, more than 100 years ago.
To see if propaganda is saying the truth, people need to do extra work. For example, ads might
always sound like they're true. But before you believe them, try to think about who created and paid
for them. Find out why they did it. 40.
A.Propaganda Targets
B.Propaganda Mediums
C.Another word for this is propaganda
D. So most people will agree with those politicians
E.Then, you can decide if they're being honest or not
F.However, religious propaganda was actually the first official one
