A
阅读理解。
Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.
My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.
I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.
When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”
I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).
But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.
My son ,with other motorheads,fixed the car. They got parts(零件）from ajunkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The lost was $25 instead of $80.
Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.
These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.
I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.
My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.
1. What used to be the author’s hope for his son
A. To avoid becoming his clone.
B. To resemble him in appearance.
C. To develop in a different direction.

2. What can we learn about the author’s children
A. His daughter does better in school.
B. His daughter has got a master’s degree.
C His son tried hard to finish homework.

3. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that_______.
A. His son had the ability to fix it.
B. it would save him much time.
C. it wouldn’t cause him any more loss
D. other motorheads would come to help.
4. In the author’s eyes, motorheads are _______.
A. tidy and hardworking B. cheerful and smart
C. lazy but bright D. relaxed but rude

C. Architects play a more important role than builders.
D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(有瘾人),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me, so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(有褶皱的).” Today David wears casual clothes (便装) to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday. This became known as “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes “One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says Owen Black, the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative (保守的) dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (心境, 士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
6. David thinks he was “a clothes addict” because .
A. he disliked cheap clothes
B. he always kept his suit neat
C. he often cleaned his office
D. he spent a little on clothes
7. Why does David Smith wear casual clothes now
A. He feels at ease.
B. He looks handsome.
C. He went to a new company.
D. He can’t afford expensive suits.
8. What can we learn from the text
A. Casual clothes can impress others.
B. People fought for “Casual Friday”.
C. “Casual Friday” used to be popular.
D. “Casual Friday” was given as a prize.
9. What is the advantage of casual office wear
A. Making workers more easygoing.
B. Making workers more attractive.
C. Improving workers’ ability.
D. Saving workers’ money.
10. Which does Owen Black probably agree to
A. Comfortable clothes are cheap.
B. Nobody like conservative clothes.
C. Young people like casual clothes.
D. U.S. employers like casual office wear.
C
Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too, US researchers reported on Tuesday.
They found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications.
"We have a pretty impressive effect," said Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology (心脏病学) at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
"Blood vessel diameter improved," he said. "The vessel opened up pretty significantly. You can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise." A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins.
When blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝块) that cause heart attacks and strokes. "We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health," said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans.
Miller's team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite music. They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound tests designed to show blood vessel function.
Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music. Listening to music they disliked — in most cases in this group heavy metal — blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said.
Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. "I asked myself what other things make us feel really good, besides calories from dark chocolate of course. Music came to mind. ... It makes me feel really good," he said.
Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what pleases each individual.
11. The underlined word dilate (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. widen B. move C. change D. increase
12. According to the passage, which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up
A. Taking exercise. B. Listening to unpleasant music.
C. Bursting into laughter. D. Taking drugs like statins.
13. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. blood clots are caused by heart attacks and strokes
B. music is better than chocolate for your health
C. the style of music has different effects on different people
D. a person’s overall health is more influenced by how much exercise he gets
14. What is the passage possibly taken out from
A. A scientific journal. B. A school textbook.
C. A medical brochure. D. A local newspaper.
15. What’the best title of the passage
A. Pleasant Music Cures B. Research into Blood Vessel
C. Music and Heart Attack D. Music and Happiness

Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too, US researchers reported on Tuesday.
They found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications.
"We have a pretty impressive effect," said Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology (心脏病学) at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
"Blood vessel diameter improved," he said. "The vessel opened up pretty significantly. You can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise." A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins.
When blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝块) that cause heart attacks and strokes. "We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health," said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans.
Miller's team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite music. They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound tests designed to show blood vessel function.
Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music. Listening to music they disliked — in most cases in this group heavy metal — blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said.
Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. "I asked myself what other things make us feel really good, besides calories from dark chocolate of course. Music came to mind. ... It makes me feel really good," he said.
Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what pleases each individual.
11. The underlined word dilate (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. widen B. move C. change D. increase
12. According to the passage, which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up
A. Taking exercise. B. Listening to unpleasant music.
C. Bursting into laughter. D. Taking drugs like statins.
13. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. blood clots are caused by heart attacks and strokes
B. music is better than chocolate for your health
C. the style of music has different effects on different people
D. a person’s overall health is more influenced by how much exercise he gets
14. What is the passage possibly taken out from
A. A scientific journal. B. A school textbook.
C. A medical brochure. D. A local newspaper.
15. What’the best title of the passage
A. Pleasant Music Cures B. Research into Blood Vessel
C. Music and Heart Attack D. Music and Happiness
【答案】11. A 12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐对人身体健康有很大影响。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“They found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications.”（他们发现，当人们听他们最喜欢的音乐时，他们的血管扩张的方式与他们大笑或服用血液药物时的方式基本相同）可知dilate意思是“扩张”。故选A。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications.”（他们发现，当人们听他们最喜欢的音乐时，他们的血管扩张的方式与他们大笑或服用血液药物时的方式基本相同）可知大笑或服用血液药物可以使血管扩张，排查C和D；根据第四段“You can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise.”（你可以看到血管在其他活动中扩张，比如锻炼）可知运动可以使血管扩张，排除A。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music. Listening to music they disliked — in most cases in this group heavy metal — blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said.”（与正常基线测量值相比，当志愿者听到使他们快乐的音乐时，他们的血管直径平均增加了26%。 米勒说，在听自己不喜欢的音乐(大多数是重金属音乐)时，他们的血管会收缩6%）可推知音乐对人们的健康有很重要的作用，喜欢的音乐有益于健康，而不喜欢的音乐则会对身体有不利的影响。即音乐风格对不同的人有不同的影响。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要介绍了音乐对人身体健康有很大影响。这是一篇科普类文章，但又不是专业性科普文章，所以排除A，它属于通俗类大众科普，所以最大的可能是出现在报纸上，为大众服务。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。从文章总体来看，这是一篇讲述音乐对人身体健康有很大影响的文章。“愉快的音乐治疗”最适合作文章标题。故选A。

【答案】Hi worried,
I'm sorry to know that you 're having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is that everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don t have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper. Here are three useful tips:
First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise, which is an effective way to get rid of your anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope you'll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours，
Jamie
