Today I’ll tell you so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mething about the blues. The origin of blues is not unlike the origin of life. For many years, it was recorded only by memory, and played only on live performance, and in person. The blues was born in the North Mississippi Delta (三角洲) following the Civil War. It was influenced by African roots, field shouting, church music and so on. From the crossroads of Highways 61 and 49, the blues headed north to Beale Street in Memphis. The blues has strongly helped shape almost all popular music including jazz, country, and rock and roll and continues to help shape music worldwide.
The form of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he blues first came into being around 1910. It became popular because of Handy’s Memphis Blues (1912) and St. Louis Blues (1914). During the nineteen twenties, the blues became a national craze. Mamie Smith recorded the first vocal (有声的，歌唱的) blues song Crazy Blues in 1920. The blues’ influence on jazz brought the blues into the mainstream (主流). The Blues is the truth of the African American laborers, whose spirit is known from these songs, reflecting their inner soul to all who will listen. Rhythm and Blues is the cornerstone of all forms of African American music.
In northern ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cities like Chicago and Detroit, during the later 1940s and early 1950s, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, and Elmore James together with others, played what was basically Mississippi Delta blues. It was backed by bass, drums, piano and sometimes harmonica (口琴), and began scoring national hits with blues songs. At about the same time, T-Bone Walker in Houston was pioneering a style of guitar playing that combined jazz technique with the blues.
Meanwhile, in Memph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is, B.B. King invented the concept of lead guitar. Bukka White (the cousin to B.B. King), Leadbelly, and Son House, left country blues to create the sounds, which most of us think of today as traditional blues.
26. From Paragraph 1, we learn that the blues music _______.
A. was created by the blacks in the Civil War
B. was called ballads in the very beginning
C. was mainly performed in churches at first
D. had a great influence on other kinds of music

Thunder is the sound ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )produced due to lightning. The flash of lightning and the thunder occur around the same time. However, we all are aware that lightning is seen first, followed by the sound of thunder after few seconds. This phenomenon occurs, as light wave travels much faster than the sound waves. In order to understand the causes of thunder, one needs to know about lightning first. Well! Lightning is the electricity discharged during a thunderstorm.
So, what cause ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s thunder A lot of theories have been discussed concerning causes and creation of thunder. In the third century BC, it was believed that thunder is caused due to the collision of clouds. However, the most accepted theory was formed in the 20th century. According to this theory, lightning causes thunder sound. The streams of lightning are very hot, much hotter than the surface of the sun.
When the high tempe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rature lightening stream hits the surrounding air, sudden rise in temperature takes place. It brings along an instant expansion of heated air in the outward direction. Following this, high pressure is obvious due to compression (压缩) of heated air. The rapid expansion of compressed air then sends out shock wave, which we hear as a sound of explosion.
Thunder can be perc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eived clearly, if lightning occurs within a distance of 10 miles or more than that. You can estimate the distance from the strike; first count the interval between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder in seconds, and then divide the interval by five. What you get is the rough distance in miles.
On average, about on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e hundred people die every year in the United States and several people suffer from lifelong disability due to lightning. Most of the lightning casualties (伤亡) occur, when people are caught outdoors during rainy weather. In case, you are outside during a thunderstorm, it is advisable to avoid open fields, beaches and lakes, and also stay away from tall trees. The safest way is to get inside your home or stay in the car. In the latter situation, you should not touch metal, as it is a good conductor of electricity.21教育名师原创作品

A. light has to travel a long distance to us
B. humans have better sights than hearing

One of life’s challenges is communicating with older adults with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and finding ways to afford them some quality of life. In nursing homes, they are often found in wheelchairs. In America, many families are touched by the tragedy (悲剧) of Alzheimer’s disease. This is the reason why the movie, Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \l "t=46" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_hplink ) attracts the audience of several hundred people.21教育网
The attractive fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lm describes the power of music to make these residents (住户) in nursing homes more lively or cheerful to the amazement of staff and family members. The idea was from Dan Cohen’s, a social worker who found a way to bring residents to life using an iPod with a personal playlist. Once the residents hear their favorite songs, their eyes open wide, and smiles appear. The music caused wonderful memories for one resident named Henry who could actually carry on a conversation quite well.
It seems like such ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a simple and relatively low cost way to bring pleasure to people with Alzheimer’s disease. However, Medicaid (联邦机构) pays for much more costly drugs used to keep these residents quiet and disallows payment for iPods which cost only about $50. During a discussion after the film’s screening, members of the audience were angry that this situation exists. They questioned why health insurance programs are not paying for and encouraging the use of music and other art activities, which have significant benefits for older adults. This is an excellent question deserving of an answer.
If you want to give older adults greater access to the arts, check with your state unit on aging to find out what is available in your area. You can also go to Dan Cohen’s website ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_hplink ) to support personalized music for the elderly.
41. The movie, Alive Inside ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \l "t=46" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_hplink ) attracts so many people because .
A. they afford some quality of life
B. Alzheimer’s disease is troubling the staff
C. the actors are real patients with Alzheimer’s disease
D. their families are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease
42. How did Dan Cohen make nursing home residents alive
A. By using an iPod with personalized music.
B. By carrying on a conversation with them.
C. By clapping hands and smiling to them.
D. By telling them the power of music.
43. What’s Medicaid’s attitude to the use of iPods
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral.
44. What should one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) do to provide older adults with a greater access to the arts
A. Set up an aging website.
B. Write music on one’s own.
C. Find available music for them.
D. Check one’s age with the state unit.
45. The passage is mainly concerned with .【出处：21教育名师】
A. the tragedy of Alzheimer’s disease

A new report s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ays promising children money to pass exams does not help exam grades. The report says parents could waste their money by using cash to get their kids to study harder. However, the promise of a trip could encourage students to try harder and do better at school. Researchers from the University of Bristol and the University of Chicago looked at how promises of cash and tickets to events affected students’ studying and learning. Over 10,000 pupils took part in the research throughout the year 2012. There was an improvement in class work and homework, but this did not result in better test scores.21世纪教育网版权所有
Lead researcher ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Dr Simon Burgess suggested promising money didn’t really get students to increase their efforts. He added, “Clearly, some pupils have a lot of goals and believe that education is a way of getting what they want out of life, but there are kids who think that working hard doesn’t make a difference.” He said these children think exam success is “all in your genes” because of their family background. Education expert Dr Kevan Collins said good teachers were better than promises of rewards to get children to study, especially for children from low-income families. He wrote, “What really makes a difference is how students are taught.”

Some students don ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’t believe that working hard at school can have a good future because they have different goals in life. Therefore, the author thinks that promising children money doesn’t help to promote their exam grades. www-2-1-cnjy-com
As we all know, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )children may work hard at their lessons due to different factors. They may be encouraged to work hard at school by their teachers or parents through their praises and encouragements. They may want to achieve their fantastic goals in their life journey so that they work hard at their lessons. Of course, there may be many other reasons. 21*cnjy*com
As far as I am conc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erned, some children may work hard because their parents promise them money. But in most cases, money encouragement doesn’t work much in the long term if they don’t know the importance of doing well in their lessons. 21*cnjy*com
Therefore, I don’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t think parents should promise their children money to inspire them to work hard at their lessons. Instead, they are supposed to get their children to realize the importance of doing well in their lessons. Only in this way will their children devote themselves to learning.

Today I’ll tell you so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mething about the blues. The origin of blues is not unlike the origin of life. For many years, it was recorded only by memory, and played only on live performance, and in person. The blues was born in the North Mississippi Delta (三角洲) following the Civil War. It was influenced by African roots, field shouting, church music and so on. From the crossroads of Highways 61 and 49, the blues headed north to Beale Street in Memphis. The blues has strongly helped shape almost all popular music including jazz, country, and rock and roll and continues to help shape music worldwide.
The form of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he blues first came into being around 1910. It became popular because of Handy’s Memphis Blues (1912) and St. Louis Blues (1914). During the nineteen twenties, the blues became a national craze. Mamie Smith recorded the first vocal (有声的，歌唱的) blues song Crazy Blues in 1920. The blues’ influence on jazz brought the blues into the mainstream (主流). The Blues is the truth of the African American laborers, whose spirit is known from these songs, reflecting their inner soul to all who will listen. Rhythm and Blues is the cornerstone of all forms of African American music.
In northern ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cities like Chicago and Detroit, during the later 1940s and early 1950s, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, and Elmore James together with others, played what was basically Mississippi Delta blues. It was backed by bass, drums, piano and sometimes harmonica (口琴), and began scoring national hits with blues songs. At about the same time, T-Bone Walker in Houston was pioneering a style of guitar playing that combined jazz technique with the blues.
Meanwhile, in Memph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is, B.B. King invented the concept of lead guitar. Bukka White (the cousin to B.B. King), Leadbelly, and Son House, left country blues to create the sounds, which most of us think of today as traditional blues.
26. From Paragraph 1, we learn that the blues music _______.
A. was created by the blacks in the Civil War
B. was called ballads in the very beginning
C. was mainly performed in churches at first
D. had a great influence on other kinds of music

Thunder is the sound ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )produced due to lightning. The flash of lightning and the thunder occur around the same time. However, we all are aware that lightning is seen first, followed by the sound of thunder after few seconds. This phenomenon occurs, as light wave travels much faster than the sound waves. In order to understand the causes of thunder, one needs to know about lightning first. Well! Lightning is the electricity discharged during a thunderstorm.
So, what cause ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s thunder A lot of theories have been discussed concerning causes and creation of thunder. In the third century BC, it was believed that thunder is caused due to the collision of clouds. However, the most accepted theory was formed in the 20th century. According to this theory, lightning causes thunder sound. The streams of lightning are very hot, much hotter than the surface of the sun.
When the high tempe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rature lightening stream hits the surrounding air, sudden rise in temperature takes place. It brings along an instant expansion of heated air in the outward direction. Following this, high pressure is obvious due to compression (压缩) of heated air. The rapid expansion of compressed air then sends out shock wave, which we hear as a sound of explosion.
Thunder can be perc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eived clearly, if lightning occurs within a distance of 10 miles or more than that. You can estimate the distance from the strike; first count the interval between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder in seconds, and then divide the interval by five. What you get is the rough distance in miles.
On average, about on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e hundred people die every year in the United States and several people suffer from lifelong disability due to lightning. Most of the lightning casualties (伤亡) occur, when people are caught outdoors during rainy weather. In case, you are outside during a thunderstorm, it is advisable to avoid open fields, beaches and lakes, and also stay away from tall trees. The safest way is to get inside your home or stay in the car. In the latter situation, you should not touch metal, as it is a good conductor of electricity.21教育名师原创作品

One of life’s challenges is communicating with older adults with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and finding ways to afford them some quality of life. In nursing homes, they are often found in wheelchairs. In America, many families are touched by the tragedy (悲剧) of Alzheimer’s disease. This is the reason why the movie, Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \l "t=46" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_hplink ) attracts the audience of several hundred people.21教育网
The attractive fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lm describes the power of music to make these residents (住户) in nursing homes more lively or cheerful to the amazement of staff and family members. The idea was from Dan Cohen’s, a social worker who found a way to bring residents to life using an iPod with a personal playlist. Once the residents hear their favorite songs, their eyes open wide, and smiles appear. The music caused wonderful memories for one resident named Henry who could actually carry on a conversation quite well.
It seems like such ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a simple and relatively low cost way to bring pleasure to people with Alzheimer’s disease. However, Medicaid (联邦机构) pays for much more costly drugs used to keep these residents quiet and disallows payment for iPods which cost only about $50. During a discussion after the film’s screening, members of the audience were angry that this situation exists. They questioned why health insurance programs are not paying for and encouraging the use of music and other art activities, which have significant benefits for older adults. This is an excellent question deserving of an answer.
If you want to give older adults greater access to the arts, check with your state unit on aging to find out what is available in your area. You can also go to Dan Cohen’s website ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_hplink ) to support personalized music for the elderly.
41. The movie, Alive Inside ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \l "t=46" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_hplink ) attracts so many people because .
A. they afford some quality of life
B. Alzheimer’s disease is troubling the staff
C. the actors are real patients with Alzheimer’s disease
D. their families are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease
42. How did Dan Cohen make nursing home residents alive
A. By using an iPod with personalized music.
B. By carrying on a conversation with them.
C. By clapping hands and smiling to them.
D. By telling them the power of music.
43. What’s Medicaid’s attitude to the use of iPods
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral.
44. What should one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) do to provide older adults with a greater access to the arts
A. Set up an aging website.
B. Write music on one’s own.
C. Find available music for them.
D. Check one’s age with the state unit.
45. The passage is mainly concerned with .【出处：21教育名师】

A new report s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ays promising children money to pass exams does not help exam grades. The report says parents could waste their money by using cash to get their kids to study harder. However, the promise of a trip could encourage students to try harder and do better at school. Researchers from the University of Bristol and the University of Chicago looked at how promises of cash and tickets to events affected students’ studying and learning. Over 10,000 pupils took part in the research throughout the year 2012. There was an improvement in class work and homework, but this did not result in better test scores.21世纪教育网版权所有
Lead researcher ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Dr Simon Burgess suggested promising money didn’t really get students to increase their efforts. He added, “Clearly, some pupils have a lot of goals and believe that education is a way of getting what they want out of life, but there are kids who think that working hard doesn’t make a difference.” He said these children think exam success is “all in your genes” because of their family background. Education expert Dr Kevan Collins said good teachers were better than promises of rewards to get children to study, especially for children from low-income families. He wrote, “What really makes a difference is how students are taught.”
