A kind-hearted home ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owner kept a baby elephant in her backyard for months during World War II because zookeepers feared the animal would be killed in a bombing attack.
Sheila lived at Belfa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st Zoo until she was moved to her unusual home in 1941 as the city experienced the so-called Belfast Blitz (贝尔法斯特空袭).
She was one of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the lucky ones at the zoo, in the north of the city. The Ministry of Public Security ordered 23 zoo animals to be killed in case they got free and attacked people, including a tiger, a black bear, two polar bears and six wolves.21*cnjy*com
But instead of meet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing the same fate, Sheila was walked down the road by keepers to a red-brick house on the Whitewell Road where a woman kept her safe in her backyard for several months until the bombing was over.
Now, as part of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) zoo’s 75th anniversary, managers are trying to identify the woman who gave the elephant its wartime safe place, known only as “the elephant angel”.
All it has to go on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are a couple of unclear black and white photographs of two women sitting on a garden seat watching Sheila drinking water beside the back door of the house.

D. The kind-hea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rted lady brought the elephant to her home from the zoo.
43. Why did th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Ministry of Public Security order the 23 animals to be killed
A. Because they might get lost during the war.
B. Because they were likely to attack people.

Bai Juyi (772-846)
Bai Juyi was the so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n of an official. As a young man, he wandered about to escape from the wars and therefore suffered from poverty and hunger. Later, after having succeeded in the civil service examinations, he served as an official for fifteen years.

Bai Juyi wrote al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )most 3,000 poems; his output was much greater than the other Tang poets. With their themes centering on the important social and political problems, Bai Juyi’s poems used plain and simple language that even provided enlightenment (启发) for those who had not received even the poorest education. He also wrote many lyrics expressing his personal feelings. His long narrative (叙事体的) poem The Song of the Pipa Player is among the best known.
Liu Yuxi (772 - 842)

Think of the people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group. Members go on the site and register books they own that they would like to share. BookCrossing provides a special number to stick inside the book. Then the person “releases” the book by leaving it in a public place. The hope is that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Peders ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on and his wife Heather launched the site with Ron Hornbaker in 2001. Mr. Pederson says, “The founding principle is the two things that change your life. They are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave boo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ks on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. BookCrossers, as they are known, hope that whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. Pederson says the idea is for people who are not selfish and don’t keep books to gather dust on the shelf at home.
The read and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) release idea of BookCrossing has spread. The site now has more than one million members in more than 135 countries. Among them is Mona Orvig of Hillsboro, Texas, a city of eight thousand people. She joined the site in 2002. Since then she has exchanged more than 2,000 books, including one that made its way around America. The BookCrossing website also allows people to search in their area for places where books are being released. There is no cost to join or use BookCrossing, but users can pay to get additional services.

Researchers at th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e University of Wales Institute in Cardiff, United Kingdom, looked at the ability to recall information in the presence of different sounds. 25 participants ranging in age from 18 to 30 try to memorize, and later recall, a list of letters in order.【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
Participants wer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e tested under various listening conditions: quiet, music that they’d said they liked; music that they’d said they didn’t like, a voice repeating the number three, and a voice reciting random numbers. The study found that participants performed worst while listening to music, regardless of whether they liked that music, and to the speech of random numbers. They did the best in the quiet and while listening to the repeated “three”.
Music may damage ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cognitive (认知的) abilities because if you’re trying to memorize things in order, you may get thrown off by the changing words and notes in your chosen song.
In the 1990s, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) listening to the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was thought to increase spatial (空间的) abilities, but the later research failed to find the same effect. But other studies have found a “Schubert effect” for people who like the music of Franz Schubert, and a “Stephen King effect” for people who liked a narrated story by that author. The explanation for all of this could be that when you hear something you like, it heightens your mood, which improves performance, Perham and Vizard note.
The new study d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oes not necessarily disagree with those previous findings, but does suggest some limitations on the benefits of music in memorizing lists of things in order. It may still be the case that listening to music before performing a task like that helps cognitive abilities. But this new research suggests that it might be better to study for an exam in the quiet, or listen to music beforehand.
Still, given the small ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sample size, the study provides only preliminary (初步的) results that need to be further explored in other experiments.
56. According to the passage, the researchers intend to learn .
A. how many sounds people can recognize
B. how atmospheres affect people’s memory
C. why people can’t remember too many letters
D. why some people like certain songs
57. Why did the participants do poorly while listening to music 【出处:21教育名师】
A. Because they didn’t like the music at all.
B. Because they were not good at memorizing.
C. Because they didn’t listen to music beforehand.
D. Because they could hardly fix their concentration.
58. According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he “Schubert effect”, your ability may be improved by .
A. your favorite music B. your favorite author
C. changing your mood D. popular stories
59. The unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rlined words “the case” (in Paragraph 5) probably mean that .
A. the previous findings are useless
B. it is hard to keep things in order
C. the effects of music are limited
D. music is harmful to us sometimes
60. The writer’s attitude towards the benefit of music is .
A. certain B. negative C. positive D. doubtful

Northern Cal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ifornia’s national parks appear pure and clean, almost untouched. But scientists are finding that there is more to this wild area than one can see. Even in the deep forests and on the mountain tops, animals may be poisoned by pesticides (杀虫剂) used in valley farms far below.
Researchers with t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he United States Geological Survey (美国地质勘探局) are working late into the night. They are searching for and catching frogs in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. The Pacific chorus frog (拟蝗蛙) breeds in the high mountains just as the snow melts. The pools basically fill with meltwater, and as soon as the ponds melt the chorus frogs begin breeding there. Some Pacific chorus frogs in the mountains of California have tested positive for farming pesticides.
Gary Fellers is a r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esearcher who once worked for the USGS. He and other team members are collecting the frogs to test them for agricultural poisons. No one farms in these forested national parks. However, winds carry chemicals from the Central Valley farming area into the mountains.
Kelly Smalling was t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he lead writer of the USGS study. “The decline of amphibians (两栖动物) has been documented for decades and decades. Some populations have gone extinct. And why these populations are declining is still a mystery.” Ms. Smalling says pesticides could be harming frogs and other amphibians.
The researchers tes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted pond water and soil from the bottom of the ponds. They were clean or almost free of pesticides. But tests on the bodies of the frogs showed the presence of 12 agricultural pesticides.
The concentration on t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he frog becomes greater than the concentration that is present on the water or some other part of the environment. Kelly Smalling says the next step is to find a way to deal with the pollution. “The first thing we need to do is understand how these chemicals that we’re finding harm the frogs. We have to understand the problem before we can fix it.”
61. Animals in Northern California’s national parks .
A. are well protected B. are killed by air pollution
C. are harmed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )by pesticides D. will be sent to the farms in the valley
62. According to the text, the Pacific chorus frogs .
A. breed when it snows B. are only found in the ocean
C. are studied b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y the scientists D. are free from the farming pesticides
63. How can th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e poisonous chemicals reach the forested national parks
A. Frogs carry them. B. Rivers carry them.
C. Winds carry them. D. Visitors carry them.
64. According to the r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esults of the test, which carries poisonous chemicals 【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】
A. The pond soil. B. No one is sure.
C. The pond water. D. The frog’s body.
65. What will the researchers do next
A. Keep the pond clean. B. Deal with the pollution.
C. Find new homes for the frogs. D. Search for and catch the frogs.

“Sleep-disordered bre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )athing” is a term for a group of conditions that can disturb normal breathing while people sleep. These include snoring (打呼噜), mouth-breathing and sleep apnea (窒息). Sleep-disordered breathing can do more than just leave people feeling tired the next day. It can also affect people’s health. In children the effects can include behavioral and emotional problems. 21世纪教育网版权所有
In a new study, resear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chers asked parents about their children’s breathing from when they were babies up to about aged six.

She said, “The central finding is that sleep-disordered breathing is associated with a fifty-percent increase in bad behavioral outcomes.” 2-1-c-n-j-y
Ms. Bonuck says ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the more serious the breathing problems, the more serious the behavioral issues are likely to be. An estimated one child in ten snores regularly. A smaller number suffer from other sleep-disordered breathing problems.www.21-cn-jy.com
How well do you sleep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) A popular belief is that sleep gets worse with age. But in another new study, those who reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep were people in their eighties. Researchers did a telephone survey of more than one hundred and fifty thousand American adults. Michael Grandner at the University of Pennsylvania medical school said the original goal was to confirm that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. In the study, women reported more sleep disturbance (干扰) and tiredness than men. People also reported that their sleep quality improved .
