This may be music to your ears. Researchers P. Jason Rentfrow and Samuel Gosling gave 3,500 people a personality(人格、个性)quiz. “We found that the musical styles people like are closely linked to their personalities,” Gosling says.
RAP/HIP-HOP
Known for their quick speech, some rappers can say more than 700 syllables(音节)a minute! If you like rap/hip-hop, you are energetic and have a way with words. You put a fresh spin on things, whether it’s new moves on the dance floor or your hip style.
CLASSICAL
In the 18th century, classical musicians were like rock stars. Beethoven and Mozart, for example, played in crowded concert halls. If you like classical, you are open to new ideas and like debating with friends. Creative and imaginative, you can easily spend many hours scrapbooking(剪贴), writing or painting.
COUNTRY
Country music came from the folk songs of English, Scottish, and Irish settlers of the southeastern United States. If you like country, you express your opinions well, which makes you the ideal class president or team captain. Traditional and loyal, you enjoy spending time with your family.
POP
Pop music is designed to attract almost everyone, and it does. Each year, the industry brings in about 30 billion dollars! If you like pop, you are attractive to your friends. You can make big things happen, like planning for a huge party or inspiring your team to victory.
ROCK/ALTERNATIVE
In the 1950s, rock music created a brand-new culture. Teenagers, for the first time, had an identity separate from adults and children. If you like rock/alternative, you are a risk-taker who never accepts no for an answer. You rise to any challenge, like doing very well in a big exam or
landing the lead in the school play.
If these personality profiles(人格剖析)don’t match you, that’s OK. These are just for fun.
21.What is the purpose of the quiz mentioned in the text?
A. To encourage people to enjoy music.
B. To lead people to know about music.
C. To identify the differences in personality among people.
D. To know the relationship between music and personalities.
22.Who would be chosen as the best class head?
A. A classical lover. B. A country lover. C. A hip-hop lover. D. A rock lover.
23.Which type of music is popular among teenagers according to the article?
A. Rock. B. Pop. C. Classical. D. Country.
B
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fiber, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?
The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.
Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems start as a result of dehydration (脱水)-—a lack of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stage of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.
These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma (哮喘) could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water. There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.
24. From the text, we know water can carry_________.
A. energy and fiber in our bodies B. fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodies
C. sugar and fat out of our bodies D. poisons and waste out of our bodies
25. Some doctors think that________.
A. some health problems are caused by a lack of water
B. water is not important for our health
C. we should go to the doctor less often D. people eat too much sugar
26. Lack of water caused people to put on weight too much because_______.
A. they think they are thirsty and eat less B. they think they are hungry and eat too much
C. water has no calories D. it makes them thirsty
27. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?
A.The amount of water a person should drink in a day.
B. Some healthy problems start because of a lack of water.
C. Drinking more water may stop people from overeating.
D. Fruit provides us with energy and fibre.
C
Nola (August 21, 1974 -November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino(犀牛)who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 22, is to raise awareness of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth.
“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,”Nola’s lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. “Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”
“Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans,” Kennedy says.“ Humans have either poached(偷猎)animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we’ ve taken up too much of the world’s resources ”. Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations.Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.
In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.
Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you don’ t have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day. It is observed around the world, with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos, and enable them to see the animals up close. For more information, go to www. worldrhinoday. org.
28. What do we know about Nola?
A. It was a baby white rhino. B. It was one of the last of its kind.
C. It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya.
D. It died on September 22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
29. What troubled Jane Kennedy according to Paragraph 2?
A.The rhinos’ strange activities. B. The rhinos’ uncertain future.
C. The limited natural resources. D. The rare animals in South Africa.
30. What does the Frozen Zoo aim to do?
A. Keep animals from dying out. B. Invent new kinds of animals.
C. Prevent rhinos from being hunted. D. Raise public awareness of rhinos.
31. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To help people know more about animals. B. To encourage people to protect animals.
C. To report special events in San Diego. D. To introduce World Rhino Day.
D
A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things. In fact, I am one of them.
Child-rearing (养育) doesn’t come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of butter. Then he’d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.
The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting (咏诵) phrase such as“Mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.
Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always correct. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time. Here are some famous slip-ups.
The mother of Bill Gates:“If you’re going to drop out of college and hang out with your stupid friends, don’t come running to me when you find yourself penniless.”The mother of Albert Einstein:“When you grow up, you’ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W. Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States and started his own war.”
32. The tone (语气)for the writer to write the passage is ________.
A. serious. B. critical C. disapproving. D. humorous.
33. In paragraph 2, the writer makes a comparison between mothers and fathers to prove that _____.
A. females love kids more than males B. males are not good at child-rearing
C. my dad is not interested in child-rearing
D. child-rearing is difficult both for females and males
34. What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in paragraph 4 probably mean?.
A. Mistakes. B. Shortcomings. C. Stories. D. Disadvantages.
35. The last paragraph is mainly developed by __________.
A. making comparisons B. following the order of space
C. providing different examples D. analyzing causes

A volunteering vacation can be a meaningful way to spend your time off, but to make the trip satisfying both for you and the cause you are supporting, several factors need to be considered. Here is some advice on planning the satisfactory vacation:
36 There are hundreds of causes to volunteer for, and finding one close to your heart will lead to a more worthwhile trip. Possibilities include wildlife conservation, education, environmental protection, health and nutrition. Also, consider any personal and professional skills that you can contribute. 37
Choose your destination and setting. Your volunteering trip will be more enjoyable if you use it to reach a favorite destination. Southeast Asia is on your mind, helping with treeplanting programs in Bali would benefit the environment and let you appreciate the scenic island. 38 Is volunteering outdoors in a hot or snowy climate attractive, or do you prefer being in an airconditioned office?
Ask the right questions. 39 Be aware that most volunteering programs require a week-long stay. Ask other questions like: How many hours of work per day is required? Are there days off? Will you be working individually or as part of a team? And what are the goals of your efforts? 40 Ask if the cost includes only accommodations(住宿)or meals and transportation too.
A. Your duty there is to rest and play.
B. Find a wellrespected organization.
C. And think about the surroundings you want.
D. Figure out your cause.
E. Despite the word “volunteer”, these vacations usually cost you some money.
F. The more you know about your trip, the more successful it will be.
G. If you’re a doctor, for example, working at a health clinic could be an ideal fit.

One possible version :
Dear Mr. Smith,
I’ve learnt that two hosts are needed for the coming English speech contest. I would like very much to be one of them.
I’m Li Hua, a handsome boy of about 180cm in height. As a hard-working student, I have a good command of English, especially spoken English. Since I joined the last English speech contest in which I won the first prize, I am quite familiar with the procedure of the activity, which will contribute to the smooth running of the game. What’ s more, I have accumulated a wealth of experience as an English broadcaster since I entered senior high school, making me more qualified for hosting big events. So I believe I can do the job perfectly.
Thanks for your time. I’ m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
