SEOUL (AFP)—One of South Korea’s most historic landmarks(历史地标)，the Namdaemun gate in the heart of the capital Seoul，collapsed early Monday after a fire suspected to have caused by arson(纵火)，police said.
The beautiful ancient two-storey wood building atop(在……的顶上) the six-century-old stone gate，the city’s oldest wooden structure，caught fire last Sunday evening.
Eighty firefighters battling the fire believed it was under control but it burnt up again.
The gate，the number one National Treasure and a major tourist attraction，was first constructed in 1398.It was rebuilt in 1447 and has since been frequently renovated(翻修)．
Police are still trying to find the cause of the fire but believe it was arson(纵火)，Yonhap news agency said.
A taxi driver who reported the fire told investigators he saw a man aged in his 50s climb the stairs to the gate shortly before the fire started.
The landmark，officially named Sungnyemun of “Gate of exalted ceremonies，” was the southern gate in the walls that surrounded Seoul during the Chosun Dynasty of 1392-1910.
It is close to Namdaemun market，a centuries-old market popular with locals and tourists alike.
The fire comes less than three years after fire destroyed one of the country’s oldest Buddhist temples，Naksan Temple，along with its bronze bell.

Protect the cultural relics
It’s reported in the news that one of South Korea’s most important cultural relics，the Namdaemun gate，caught fire last Sunday evening and collapsed early the next morning.
This tragedy reminds us of many cultural relics that have been damaged.And the causes of the damage are various.Some of the cultural relics are stolen.Some lack appropriate repair and restoration.Some undergo disasters like fires or floods.What’s worse，some are even intentionally destroyed by men.
Cultural relics are a great heritage from our ancestors.What’s more，they symbolize our culture and our country.Therefore，it’s high time that we protected them.Effective measures should be taken.For example，we should raise the fund to repair and restore the cultural relics.In addition，we should pass some laws and use regulations as a powerful tool to protect them.Under no circumstances shall we ignore any damage to the cultural relics.

Young adult film-makers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto.But what about really young film-makers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t，strictly speaking，even adults?
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival，tomorrow，in a setting any director might envy：Lincoln Centre.Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards，the festival has much in common with events for more experienced movie-makers，except for the age of the participants：about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids，” said Cori Gardner，managing director of Wingspan Arts，a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area.This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington，Virginia.“We want to make this a national event，” Ms.Gardner added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B．B.King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005.“A lot of the material is really mature，” Ms.Gardner said，talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project，a media arts and leadership-training group.“The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of second-hand smoke.Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.”
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown.These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures.

To me，life without music would not be exciting.I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert，or listening to the record.But music plays an important part in everyone’s life，whether he realizes it or not.Try to imagine，for example，what films or TV plays would be like without music.Would the feelings，the moving plots and the greatest interests，be so exciting or dramatic？I’m not sure about it.
Now we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall；we discover them in our everyday life too—in the rhythm of the sea，the melody of a bird in the woods and so on.So music surely has meaning for everyone，in some way or other.And，of course，it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said，“Through music a child enters a world of beauty，expresses himself from his heart，feels the joy of doing things alone，learns to take care of others，develops his mind and makes his body strong.”
6．What does the writer say more about in the text?
A．Life full of music.
B．Life without music.
C．The importance of music.
D．The development of music.
7．From the text，we learn that many people ________.
A．don’t realize the importance of music
B．get along quite well without music
C．go to the concert instead of enjoying music
D．think music would be less exciting than films
8．What does the underlined word “melody” in the second paragraph mean in the text?
A．Flying. B．Looking.
C．Singing. D．Living.
9．From the last paragraph，we learn that music ________.
A．is very important，especially for children
B．is very necessary for our everyday life
C．can make our life exciting and dramatic
D．can enter into another beautiful world
10．What’s the meaning for those who work on playing or writing music?
A．They treat music as their life.
B．They think everyone thinks highly of music.
C．They don’t think music is important.
D．They think it’s only their job.

Most fitness advice is given to a general audience.But if you’re old，the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) has some suggestions for you to get started and keep you at the top of your game：
Get a check-up.Talk with your doctor about getting permission to begin a fitness program and making any correction to suit your situation.
Know your choices.Before starting，choose a program you’ll enjoy，so you’ll do it regularly.Some people，for example，like to go to a gym for carefully organized workouts (锻炼)，while others might prefer a more informal neighborhood walking club.
Check out the facility and the staff.Is the place friendly？Can you change clothes comfortably？Are facilities easily used?
Choose the style you want to take part in.Choose what’s best for you—a class or going alone？Morning or night hours？Indoor or outside exercise?
Start slowly.Most people are too excited and sometimes overdo it.Record a baseline (起点) of your regular activities and determine a reasonable schedule.
Make a date.Find a partner to exercise with you and he or she can encourage you.
Set specific short-and-long-term goals.Plan for activity in your day and pay enough attention to the plan.
Make a list.Try to list the advantages you have had (such as less stress，stronger bones or greater strength and a better sleep)，rather than just the result (such as weight)．
Remind yourself what your goals are.If it hurts，don’t do it.Learn to work around pain，not through it.And once you’ve reached your goal，treat yourself for the good job you’ve done，so it will encourage you to continue.
1．The ICAA makes the fitness suggestions for______.
A．small kids B．school students
C．old people D．young ladies
2．What advice does the ICAA give at first?
A．Seeing your trainer.
B．Changing your situation.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
As we get older，our social circles and our tastes in music become fixed.Not that there’s anything wrong with the music you grew up on，but after you’ve recycled it for 10 years，it starts to sound boring.
Ignore the terror from the music industry；this is a great time to discover new music.Fans and artists have never had such a direct dialogue.That means that the average fans can keep up with the latest trends in the music industry.All you have to do is look.
Go outside your comfort zone
Think back to when you were younger and music was almost as important as the air you breathed.Got it？Good.If you’re really out of touch，start with Toss MTV or any TV station that plays new music on in the background.Some of it you won’t like，but at some point，you’ll hear something you do.
If that’s not your bag，pick up the habit of listening to traditional radio that plays new music，such as the Top 40，college stations and the BBC.You can branch out from there.Another choice is to go to Billboard.com or ChartAttack.com to see what’s in and you’ll see what you’ve been missing.
Develop an interest
It’s as simple as asking a few questions.Ask a kid or a teenager：Where do they get their music？What do they like？If the name of anyone who has starred in a reality TV show comes out of their mouth，move on.
If you hear something you like when you’re back from after work one day，don’t just let the opportunity pass.Find out who and what you’re listening to.Just ask the bar waiter.
1．Why does the music sound dull according to the first paragraph?
A．Because you repeat it for ages.
B．Because our social circles stop expanding.
C．Because our tastes fall behind.
D．Because the music accompanies you to grow up.
2．What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Fans and artists do not have a close connection.
B．Fans can communicate directly with the artists.
C．Fans and artists have a deep gap between each other.
D．The pop stars are concerned with the fans.
3．The following are all traditional radio EXCEPT________.
A．Toss MTV B．Top 40
C．college stations D．the BBC
4．Where did the writer suggest getting new music in the last paragraph?
A．The TV show. B．The Internet.
C．The park. D．The bar.
5．Which of the following can best summarize this passage?
A．How to get away from the old music.
B．TV station is always the traditional way of recreation.
C．Interest is the best teacher in doing everything.
D．How to keep up with new music.

以下是北京一些著名景点的介绍：
A．Just in time for the Olympics comes Asia’s latest mega-airport，and yet another marvel designed by British architect Sir Norman Foster (who was responsible for Hong Kong’s marvel)．The airport’s terminal is housed in the world’s biggest airport building and is designed to resemble the form of a dragon.Airport slogan：“Harmonious Airport：Dreams start from here”．
B．The 90,000-seat stadium，nicknamed the “Bird’s Nest” (due to its cross-stitch steel and concrete exterior)，like most of the Beijing venues，is designed by foreign architects.Take a taxi and a guide to Olympic Green for a view of this amazing building conceived by Swiss architects，Herzog & de Meuron.
C．The 17,000-seat，Australian-designed aquatic centre，dubbed(被称为) the “Watercube”，is set to become the most recognised Olympic venue after the main stadium.Described as a celebration of transparency，this building is inspired by the molecular structure of crystal cells.
D．Although an older area of central Beijing，with its proliferation of hutongs (distinctive ancient laneway communities that feature communal courtyard houses)，this area also represents the modern，hip and lively face of the capital.Here you’ll find a range of restaurants，bars and cafes，some of them right on the waterfront.
E．One of the most amazing new building designs in the world—second only to the Pentagon in size—is gradually rising to a height of 230 metres in central Beijing.Dutch-designed，the massive，horizontal and vertically looped building will be the lavish new headquarters of China’s national broadcaster.
F．An expatriate Australian，Brian Wallace，with a passion for Chinese modern art，founded this leading gallery，based on Beijing’s historic Watchtower building.Each year the gallery hosts as many as eight solo contemporary art shows.Wallace，a long-time Beijing resident，was at the forefront of the current intense world interest in Chinese art.

The Oscars，or to give them their proper name，“The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of Merit”，are awards given to people who work in specific areas of the film industry.
Actors and directors，costume designers and songwriters，make-up artists and sound engineers，among others，all have the chance to win an Oscar.
The awards themselves are small statuettes(小雕像)，around 34cm tall and weighing just over 3.5kg.The golden statuettes are all the same—they show a man (with no clothes on！) holding a sword and standing on a reel of film.
Sadly for the winner，the statue is not solid gold，but just gold plated.In actual value it is only worth around $250.However，although the statuette itself is not worth very much，winning one can be worth millions of dollars to the film studios.
Winning an Oscar means that the world top film-makers like your work.It is the best publicity any film can get.If a film can have Academy Award Winner under its title，many more people will go to see it.
The Academy was first formed in May 1927，and the awards have been given every year since then.This ceremony，when the awards are presented to the winners，is the highlight of the Hollywood calendar.It is the most glamorous(富有魅力的) and star-studded(星光灿烂的) evening of the whole year，and is shown on television in 90 countries around the world and watched by over 500 million people.
Everyone who is famous in the film world attends the awards ceremony.Most arrive in huge limousines (豪华轿车)，wearing wonderful clothes.The Oscar ceremony is the one night when Hollywood really is as glamorous as it appears.
For the first few years of the Academy，the Academy Awards themselves were simply called “The Statuettes”．There are various stories which explain why they were at last given the nickname Oscars.The most popular is that the Academy librarian，Margaret Herrick，exclaimed when she saw the golden statuette，“He looks just like my Uncle Oscar！” and the name stuck.
Whatever the reason，it is certainly easier to say Oscar，than to say “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of Merit”，so the little golden man is now on a first name basis with everyone.
1．The passage is really about ________.
A．Hollywood
B．an award in the film industry
C．an award ceremony
D．a famous film star，Oscar
2．One story says that the Oscars are named after .
A．Oscar Hammerstein
B．the man who invented them
C．the Academy librarian’s uncle
D．one of the Oscar winners
3．The awards were first simply called ________.
A．Oscars
B．Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of Merit
C．Uncle Oscars
D．The Statuettes
4．A reader can learn from the text that ________.
A．only actors can have the chance to win Oscars
B．an Oscar is made completely of gold
C．winning an Oscar is worth millions of dollars to film studios
D．the Academy Awards are given every four years
5．The best title for the passage would be “________”．
A．Everybody’s Favorite Uncle
B．Great American Films
C．Winning Is Not Important
D．History of Film Industry

Research done at the University of California-Irvine shows that young children taking music lessons have a greater ability to learn math and science.Coordination and concentration are also improved.Mastering a song or technique allows children to feel a sense of achievement and a desire to move on to the next challenge.These feelings of pride can also improve their confidence in the classroom.
The lazy days of summer are a great time to introduce and expose your child to all sorts of music.
1．Introduce babies to music by singing lullabies(摇篮曲) to them.
2．Help younger children relate to music by asking about the sounds they hear.Does that drum sound happy or sad？Would an elephant sound like that high flute(长笛)，or that deep bassoon?
3．Look into a wide variety of musical toys and records of songs that are available for children.

Some weeks later a woman and her little son came to the museum.While they were looking at the new painting，the little boy began to cry.The director went over and asked him.
“Why are you crying？”

A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time.Hobbyists raise pets，build model ships，weave baskets，watch birds，hunt animals，climb mountains，raise flowers，fish，ski，skate and swim.Hobbyists also paint pictures，attend concerts and plays，and perform on musical instruments.They collect everything from books to butterflies and from shells to stamps.
People take up hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment，friendship，knowledge，and relaxation.Sometimes they even give financial profit.Hobbies help people relax after periods of hard work，and provide a balance between work and play.
Hobbies also offer interesting activities for persons who have retired.Anyone，rich or poor，old or young，sick or well，can follow a satisfying hobby，regardless of his age，position，or income.Hobbies can help a person’s mental and physical health.Doctors have found that hobbies are valuable in helping patients recover from physical or mental illness.Hobbies give bedridden or wheel-chair patients something to do，provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves.Many hospitals treat patients by having them take up interesting hobbies or pastimes (娱乐)．
In early times，most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies.But some persons who had spare time did enjoy hobbies.The ancient Egyptians played games with balls made of wood，pottery.People today have more time than ever before for hobbies.
Machines have reduced the amount of time they must spend on their jobs.Hobbies provide variety for workers who do the same unchanging tasks all day long.More people are retiring than ever before，and at an earlier age.Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly-found spare time hours.
Sir William Osier，a famous Canadian doctor expressed the value of hobbies by saying，“No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.”

Many studies have been conducted to find the deeper benefits of listening to and playing music.The growing field of music treatment is presenting increasing amounts of evidence that point toward the greater powers of music.
Emotional benefits
The right song can put anybody in a better mood.Most people turn to certain songs to improve their moods.The main reason behind it is that music has the ability to express our feelings better than any other medium.In addition，we have favourite songs for particular situations because we tune into the melodies (悦耳的音调) that catch our nerves the best.
Music and exercise
Have you ever noticed how out of breath you get when listening to an exciting song while doing exercise at the gym？It has been suggested that stimulating (刺激的) music can actually increase muscle tension，while sedative (镇定的) music decreases it.
It has also been proved that music can improve motor skills.An experiment conducted on a group of elementary students proved that children learning basic motor skills such as throwing，catching and jumping while listening to music did better than those with no music.
Chronic (慢性的) pain relief
Music has the ability to ease the sense of chronic pain.In fact，according to a paper in the Journal of Advanced Nursing，music can reduce chronic pain by 21%.The paper reports that 60 patients in an experiment were divided into two groups—music and no music.The results showed that people who listened to music for an hour each day for a week had improved physical and psychological diseases compared to those who did not.
36．The best title of the passage is ________.
A．The Study of Music
B．Physical and Mental Benefits of Music
C．How Music Can Help Patients
D．Music Helps to Improve Work Efficiency
37．Why do people turn to songs for better feelings?
A．Because songs have magic.
B．Because listening to music is their hobby.
C．Because they can find comfort in songs.
D．Because music can express their mood well.
38．If we want to have our muscle relaxed，we’d better choose ________.
A．rock and roll
B．some exciting songs
C．some light music
D．classical songs
39．The basic motor abilities do not include________.
A．pushing B．casting
C．seizing D．leaping
40．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．music can cure people of muscle pain slowly
B．21% of the patients will recover quickly with music
C．30 experimented patients listen to music daily
D．the 60 patients all have physical and psychological problems
D
Newspapers are an important source of information.Many people begin their days by reading the paper.In this way they learn what is going on in the world.Sometimes，however，they don’t have the time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page，at other times they may be in such a hurry that they have time only to glance at the headlines.There are newspapers to satisfy every reader.In big cities there are many types with several different editions every day.In small towns there are few newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day.In some areas the paper is printed weekly.
Most papers have several editions，especially on Sundays when the editions are larger than usual.There are，besides the front page with the most important news，the sports news，the society page，the amusement section，a business page and so on.

参考范文
According to the passage，China won worldwide praise for its efforts at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen as well as its efforts in fighting climate change.
While seeking economic development，China has been paying special attention to reducing carbon emission and protecting the environment.It encourages the development of science and technology and makes use of green energy actively.
It goes without saying that it’s everyone’s duty to protect the environment and fight climate change.So we all should try to live a low-carbon life.That is to say，we should do as follows：take more buses but less taxis；turn off the lights before leaving the classroom；turn off water after each use；not leave water running while brushing teeth；turn on air-conditioners only when they’re necessary，not use disposable chopsticks or cups，and so on.
Only by making joint efforts，can we make our world a better place to live.
