“Angie,I know you like to sing,” her father,a worker,told Angela Brown,“but you must have something to fall back on(依靠).”
Brown took her father's advice. She got a degree in secretarial science before entering Oakwood College,in Huntsville,Alabama. However,her aim was to become a singer at religious meetings. So after graduation she headed for Indiana University to study with the famous soprano(女高音歌手) Virginia Zeani.
Once,when Brown was troubled by selfdoubt,Zeani said to her,“If you want to be the next Aretha Franklin,you need no more lessons.” Brown remembers her saying.“But if you want to be the best Verdian soprano this world has ever seen,you must work.”
Work she did. Three times she competed in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions(试演).Three times she failed to make the final round in New York. Then,in 1997 at age 33,the age limit for sopranos to audition,she gave it one more try.She signed up at the last minute and didn't even practice,thinking,“All they could do was to tell me no,and that didn't hurt my feelings anymore.” She had the strength she needed to fall back on if she failed.
She won. But making it in New York was just the beginning. It took her three more years to become an understudy(替角) at the Met. But waiting in the wings was fine with her. Finally,her time came. When the featured singer fell ill,Brown earned the chance to sing the lead role in Aida.And The New York Times described her performance as a great success. Angela Brown,who had prepared for 20 years,was an “overnight” successful singer at age 40.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了美国歌手Angela Brown虽历经多次挫折和失败,仍不放弃,最终实现了自己的梦想。
1.The underlined words “Aretha Franklin” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to “________”.
A.another teacher
B.another singer
C.one of Virginia Zeani's students
D.an understudy at the Met
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据第三段可知,Brown跟Zeani学习唱歌,所以当Brown怀疑自己时,Zeani说如果她放弃的话,就会是下一个Aretha Franklin,故Aretha Franklin应是一名歌手。
2.We can learn from the fourth paragraph that Angela Brown ________.
6
A.failed to make the final round because of her old age
B.failed many auditions because she hadn't practiced hard
C.cared much about the results of the audition in 1997
D.would have lost the last chance if she had failed again in 1997
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Then,in 1997 at age 33,the age limit for sopranos to audition,she gave it one more try.”可知,这次试演是Brown的最后一次机会,如果不成功她就没机会了。
3.When did Angela Brown act as an understudy at the Met?
A.From 1997 to 2000. B.From 2000 to 2004.
C.From 1997 to 2004. D.From 2000 to 2006.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第四、五段中的时间可推知,Brown在36岁时(2000年)担任替角,40岁时成名,她担任替角的时间应是从2000年到2004年。

Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays(紫外线) while skiing in the snowcovered areas than sitting on the beach,according to a report by the UK newspaper The Telegraph.
The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University,Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together.They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (a rough path) in Ishikawa District,northern Japan.They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.They found that on the beach,eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules(千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snowcovered areas.
The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency.According to the agency,the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent,compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas.The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300meter rise in height.
Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin.That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun.But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.
If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time,you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye,which is harmful.Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling.They may be sensitive to light.Fortunately,this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.

Longterm exposure to UV radiation,however,can be more serious.Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage,which could lead to total blindness.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了一项新的研究——紫外线会对眼睛造成伤害。
4.You would most likely find the article in ________.
A.a medical magazine B.a travel journal
C.a doctor's diary D.a physics textbook

5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.
B.Shorttime exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.
C.Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.
D.The study was conducted by researchers from Japan,the USA and the UK.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“...exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage,which could lead to total blindness.”可知,长时间暴露于紫外线下可能会导致失明,故A项正确。
6.If a place is 1,500 meters higher,the amount of light increases________.
A.15 percent B.20 percent
C.25 percent D.30 percent
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300meter rise in height.”可知,高度每增加三百米,紫外线增加百分之四,由此可知高出1 500米的山上紫外线增加百分之二十,故B项正确。
7.What will the passage most probably talk about next?
A.Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.
B.Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.
C.Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.
D.Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.
解析:选B 推理判断题。文章开头由“科学家发现滑雪时更容易受到紫外线伤害”引出话题,故文章接下来应该会介绍如何在滑雪时避免紫外线伤害的一些有效措施,故B项正确。
