25、If music makes you smart and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a person who is better at learning and understanding.

A team of scientists from a university did research on 33 volunteers. They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much better in language ability test than without music.

The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to the music during exercise. “Exercise seems to cause great changes in the nervous system (神经系统) and have a direct result on learning ability,” said the scientist Charles Emery. Scientists have found that music can be good for health and education. It helps relieve stress, sadness and nervousness, wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.

Scientists have been using Mozart’s music, especially his violin pieces, to help disabled children. Mozart is often chosen because his music is not over-exciting. A study showed students who often exercise to Mozart’s music get higher marks. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.

【1】What does the underlined word “relieve” mean?

A．增加

B．升高

C．减少

D．下降

【2】How many great musicians are mentioned in the text?

A．Two.

B．There.

C．Four.

D．Thirty-three.

【3】What does the last paragraph tell us?

A．Students should not listen to music before exams.

B．Music may help students get higher grades in tests.

C．Children should follow their parents’ words.

D．There is no reason for children to argue with parents.

【4】What can we know from the text?

A．Mozart’s music is not exciting.

B．Music usually makes people sleep well.

C．Exercise may influence learning ability.

D．Volunteers felt worse after exercising without music.

【5】Which is the best title for this text?

A．Scientists listen to great music

B．Music and exercise lead to stress

C．Exercising to music makes you smarter

D．Volunteers listened to Mozart’s violin pieces

26、Although parrots have learned to copy the sounds that make up words, they don’t really know what they are saying. But there is one parrot who speaks more than a hundred words and in fact understands their meanings. He is an African parrot named Alex.

Dr. Irene Pepperberg, a scientist at the University of Arizona, has worked with Alex for nineteen years. He had to learn one word at a time. Irene and Jane, one of her students, would teach Alex by showing him what a word means. Irene would hold up an object, saying “What’s this?” Her students would give the word “apple”, for example, while Alex watched. Irene would praise her student, and then ask Alex the name for the object. When he got it right, Irene would praise him and give him something delicious. It took Alex many weeks to learn his first word. After that, each new word became easier and easier for him.

Why did Irene spend so much time getting a parrot to talk? Scientists like Irene are interested in discovering how smart animals are. But it has always been difficult, partly because animals haven’t been able to communicate clearly with humans. Teaching Alex to speak words that he understands has let Irene talk to him directly(直接地). She can ask him questions, and he can answer them in English. In this way, Irene is finding out what sorts of things Alex’s brain can do. She has found that parrots are much smarter than scientists used to think. The word “birdbrain” is certainly not for Alex.

Alex can recognize and correctly name over forty kinds of objects, five different shapes, five materials, and seven colors. He can use his knowledge to solve problems and answer questions. For example, from a group of objects, he can pick out up to six things of a certain color. He can also pick out objects he is told to pick out, such as bigger or smaller and same or different ones.

【1】In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly shows ________.

A．how Alex was trained to speak English

B．why Alex was chosen by a scientist

C．Alex is an unusual African parrot

D．parrots are smarter than other birds

【2】Why did Irene teach Alex to speak?

A．She was trying to prove her abilities.

B．She was interested in what its brain could do.

C．She needed a friend to talk with.

D．She wanted to prove parrots were smarter than people.

【3】The word “birdbrain” can be used to describe someone ________.

A．who has a small brain

B．who isn’t very clever

C．who talks too much

D．who speaks clearly

27、   The toucan (巨嘴鸟) is a colourful bird. Take a look at these facts about the toucan, and you may learn something you didn't know before!

·Where do they live?

Toucans can be found in the tropical (热带) forests of South America. Their home is in danger. It is advised to avoid buying rainforest wood and to protect the habitat (栖息地) of toucans.

·What do they look like?

Toucans have a black body and white throat. The colourful beak (鸟喙) is about 8 inches long and makes up 1/3 of the bird's total length. It may look pretty big, but thankfully for the toucan, their beaks are not too heavy. It is composed of keratin (角蛋白), which makes it much lighter than you would think just by looking.

·What do they eat and drink?

Toucans use their beak to peel and eat different kinds of fruits, which happens to be the kind of food they eat most often. Sometimes toucans will choose to snack on insects, frogs, or the eggs of other birds. Toucans get most of their watch from the fruits they eat, so they don't need too much extra water.

·Believe it or not!

Toucans don't have very big wings. They have to flag their wings vigorously (强力地) to travel short distance. So you will often find them hopping rather than lying through the air. Toucans can be rather lazy birds and they like to stay in one place generally. They don't fly high up in the sky or very far away from home, and enjoy staying in trees with their delicious fruit to eat. Wild cats are a predator of toucans in the rainforest. Other predators include large birds. Same snakes may attack smaller toucans but typically are more interested in the toucan's eggs instead.

【1】How long is a toucan?

A.About 2.5 inches long. B.About 8 inches long.

C.About 11 inches long. D.About 24 inches long.

【2】Toucans feed on ________.

A.tree leaves, keratin of the air and fruits.

B.fruits, insects, frogs, or the eggs of other birds.

C.wild cats, snakes and other larger birds.

D.insects, fish and water from the river or the sea.

【3】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A.toucans live in North America.

B.toucans often fly here and there to look for food.

C.toucans aren't the best fliers in the tropical forests.

D.toucans' heavy beaks remake them become lazy.

【4】The underlined word “predator” in the passage probably means “________”.

A.the animal that kills and eats toucans. B.the animal that is friendly to toucans.

C.the animal that is the food of toucans. D.the animal that is similar to toucans.

【5】Which is the best title of the passage?

We live in a world full of many different kinds of people. We want to get along well with others. We also want to be liked by others. The 【1】 (接下来的)ways will make others be fond of you.

First, become 【2】(真正地) interested in other people. A show of interest must be true. It must bring good results to the person showing the interest, but also to the person receiving the attention. What’s more, smile as often as possible. Your smile is a 【3】(标志) of kindness. When someone 【4】 (感觉) stressed from his or her teachers or parents, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds, your smile can help him or her 【5】 (意识到) that all is hopeful.

Besides, remember a person’s name. A person’s name is the【6】(甜的) and the most important sound in any language. We should realize the magic in a name. The name makes the person different from others; it makes him or her special 【7】(在……之中) all others. If you remember a person’s name, the relationship between both of you will become much closer.

Last but not least, be a careful listener first. Ask 【8】(问题) that other persons would like to answer. 【9】(鼓励) them to talk about their life and their achievement. What you need to do is just to listen, because people are much more interested in 【10】(他们自己).
