Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
What are the two things that make humans different from animals？ One is language and the other is music.It’s true that some animals can sing.However， the songs of animals like birds are very limited.It’s also true that humans， not animals， have developed musical instruments.
Music is a strange thing.It’s clearly different from language.However， people can use music to communicate things — especially their emotions.When music is combined with speech in a song， it’s a very powerful form of communication.
If music is truly different from speech， then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain.The scientific study suggests this is true.For example， Vissarion Shebalin， a Russian composer， had a stroke （中风） in 1953.It injured the left side of his brain.He could no longer speak or understand speech.He could， however， still compose music until his death ten years later.On the other hand， sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability， but they can still speak and understand speech.
Why does music have such a strong effect on us physically and emotionally？ That’s a harder question to answer.Geoffrey Miller， a researcher at University College， London， thinks that music and love have a strong connection.Music requires special talent， practice and physical ability.That’s why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone’s mate.For example， playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control.You also need a good memory to remember the notes.And playing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition.Finally， when a man sings to the woman he loves， it may be a way of showing off.
However， Miller’s theory still doesn’t explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply.For scientists， this is clearly an area that needs further research.
1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph？（ ）
A.To introduce the main topic.
B.To show the author’s attitude.

B.When it is combined with speech.
C.When it is sung by famous musicians.

3.What is the example of Vissarion Shebalin used to show？（ ）
A.Vissarion Shebalin is one of the luckiest persons.
B.Vissarion Shebalin is really interested in composing music.
C.The brain processes music and language separately.
D.Music and language are two different things.
4.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？（ ）

I was 17 years old.Along with a dozen other boys I had made a long trip to Iowa in order to see a college that I was thinking of attending.While the trip had been fun for the most part， now that I was there I was feeling depressed and alone.I was missing my family and was realising that I wouldn’t be seeing them very much if I went to school here.I was also missing the mountains， forests， and wild flowers in my home town.These things were a part of me.
Here in Iowa everything was flat.The grass looked burnt and brown.All that I could smell was a mixture of corn， mud， and pigs.I walked outside the dormitory of the college and sat on the grass.I closed my eyes and dreamed of being back home again.
When I finally opened them， however， I saw something that touched my soul.It was a Prairie（草原） Sunset.It seemed to fill the sky from horizon to horizon.Gold， red， purple and pink clouds all flowed together in a picture painted by Heaven’s own hand.It was so huge that it took my breath away.It made our mountain sunsets seem tiny.
I was filled with wonder and felt a special oneness.I realised that I had been foolish and judgmental.This place too had its own special beauty.This place too was a part of magic nature.
Over the years to come I learned something else.Each of us has a special beauty as well.Each of us has our own unique talents and abilities.Each of us has a beautiful， powerful love that only we can share.May you always do so then.May your life always shine bright.And may your love shine from your soul like a sunset on the Prairie.
5.What made the author feel unhappy in the first paragraph？（ ）
A.A feeling of homesickness.
B.A sense of being abandoned.
C.Being left alone in the college.
D.Being afraid of the new environment.
6.How did the author feel about things in Iowa before he/she opened his/her eyes？（ ）
A.Familiar. B.Curious.
C.Surprised. D.Disappointed.
7.What does the underlined part “it took my breath away” in Paragraph 3 mean？（ ）
A.It was extremely ordinary. B.It was extremely beautiful.
C.It made me feel confused. D.It made me feel frightened.
8.What message is conveyed in this passage？（ ）
A.Learn from others’ strong points.
B.Show the best of you to the world.
C.Seek perfection in whatever you see.
D.Everything exists with a unique value.

On 1 June， 1910， Captain Robert Falcon Scott left London to begin his journey to Antarctica①.While he was on the way to② Antarctica，he received a message from the Norwegian③ explorer④ Roald Amundsen which said he was going south，too.Then the race to the South Pole began！
During the polar summer of 1910－1911， both teams organised food bases in preparation⑤ for their journeys the next year.[1]Then came the total darkness of the polar winter.Scott and Amundsen waited anxiously for spring.
Amundsen was [2]the first to leave on 8 September， 1911.He [3]had teams of dogs pulling the sledges⑥ and all his men were on skis⑦.Because of this， he made rapid progress⑧.Scott left on 1 November and soon had problems.First， his two sledges broke down⑨ and then the horses began to have serious difficulties with⑩ the snow and the cold.After a while ， Scott and his men had to push the sledges themselves.
[1]时间状语Then置于句首时引起完全倒装结构。
[2]句中to leave 为动词不定式作定语，修饰the first。
[3]have sb doing sth使某人一直做某事。
Amundsen reached the Pole on 14 December， 1911 and put a Norwegian flag there.Then he prepared for the return journey.Amundsen and his team arrived safely back to their starting base on 25 January， 1912， ten days ahead of their planned schedule.
Scott finally arrived at the Pole with four team members on 17 January，1912.They were shocked when they saw the Norwegian flag.Scott wrote in his diary：
“Well， we have turned our back now on the goal of our ambition and must face our 800 miles of solid dragging — and good-bye to most of the daydreams.”
The return journey was one of the worst in the history of exploration .The men were soon very tired and were running out of food.The weather conditions were terrible.Scott started to realise their hopeless situation：
“...we are unendingly cheerful ， but what each man feels in his heart I can only guess.[4]Pulling on foot gear in the morning is getting slower and slower ...”
However， on their way back they found time to look for rocks.They carried twenty kilos of rocks all the way with them.Later， these rocks proved that at one time in the distant past， the continent of Antarctica was covered by plants.
Then disaster came.Edgar Evans had a terrible disease and died after a bad fall.The next to go was Captain Oates， who was having great difficulty walking .Scott recorded his death：
“He said，‘I am just going outside and may be some time.’...We knew that poor Oates was walking to his death， but though we tried to dissuade him， we knew it was the act of a brave man and an English gentleman.We all hope to meet the end with a similar spirit， and assuredly the end is not far.”
Scott and two of his team members carried on and got within eleven miles of one of their food bases.But then a terrible storm started and they could not leave their tent.Scott spent some of his last hours writing.He wrote a letter [5]full of sadness to his wife Kathleen：
“What lots and lots I could tell you of this journey ...What tales you would have for the boys.But what a price to pay.”
Scott’s diary also told the story of their end：
“...we are getting weaker， of course， and the end cannot be far.It seems a pity， but I do not think I can write more.”
The news of Scott’s death shocked the world.Even Amundsen was moved by Scott’s death saying “Captain Scott left a record，for honesty ， for sincerity， for bravery， for everything that makes a man”.Scott had failed to win the race to the Pole， but the great courage [6]shown by Scott and his men made them heroes.
[4]句中Pulling on foot gear ...为动词-ing形式作主语。
[5]句中full of sadness 为形容词短语作定语，修饰a letter。
[6]句中shown by Scott and his men为过去分词短语作定语，修饰courage。

【参考译文】
1910年6月1日，罗伯特·福尔肯·斯科特上校离开了伦敦，开始了去南极洲的行程。在去往南极洲的途中，他收到了挪威探险家罗尔德·阿蒙森的一封信，信中说他也要去南极洲。于是，奔向南极的赛跑就开始了！
在1910—1911年的极地的夏季，两支队伍都建了食品储备点，为来年的旅程做准备。接着极地的冬季来临，四处一片黑暗。斯科特和阿蒙森焦急地等待春天的到来。
1911年9月8日，阿蒙森第一个动身。他用几队狗拉雪橇，所有的队员都在滑雪板上行进。因此，他进展很快。11月1日，斯科特动身，但很快就出现了问题。先是他的两辆雪橇坏了，后来马匹开始在大雪和严寒的天气下出现严重问题。过了一阵子，斯科特和他的队员不得不自己推雪橇。
1911年12月14日，阿蒙森到达极点，在那里插上了挪威国旗。然后他准备返回。1912年1月25日，阿蒙森和他的团队提前10天安全抵达了他们出发的基地。
1912年1月17日，斯科特和四名队员终于到达了极点。当看到挪威国旗时，他们非常震惊。斯科特在日记中写道：
“好吧，我们现在已经背弃了我们奋斗的目标，而且必须要面对800英里的艰难跋涉——并且要告别大多数白日梦。”
他们的回程是探险史上最糟糕的旅程之一。队员们很快就精疲力竭，食物也快吃完了。天气非常糟糕。斯科特开始意识到他们的处境令人绝望：
“我们依然保持乐观，但每个人内心里的感受我只能猜到。大家早上鞋子穿得越来越慢……”
然而，在回去的路上，他们还花时间去寻找了岩石。他们一路上带着二十公斤的石头。后来，通过这些石块可以证实，在遥远的过去，南极洲曾经被植被覆盖。
然后灾难来了。埃德加·埃文斯得了一种可怕的疾病，重重地跌倒后去世了。下一个离去的是奥茨船长，他连走路都很困难。斯科特记下了他的死亡：
“他说，‘我要出去一下，可能会待上一会儿。’……我们知道可怜的奥茨正走向死亡，尽管我们曾试图阻止他，但我们都知道这是一个勇敢的人、一个英国绅士的行为。我们都希望能以同样的精神挺到最后，我们也确实快走到最后了。”
斯科特上校和两名队员继续向前，到达距离食品储备处不足11英里的地方。但随后爆发了一场可怕的风暴，他们无法离开帐篷。在他生命的最后几个小时，斯科特花时间写下一些文字。他写了一封充满悲伤的信给妻子凯瑟琳：
“关于这次旅行我有太多太多的事情想告诉你……很多你愿意给孩子讲的故事。但付出了多大的代价啊。”
斯科特的日记也讲述了他们的结局：
“……当然，我们正在变得越来越虚弱，终点可能不远了。非常遗憾，但我想我无法继续写下去了。”
斯科特死亡的消息震惊了全世界。甚至阿蒙森也被斯科特的离世所触动，他说：“斯科特上校将永载史册，因为他诚实、真诚、勇敢，并拥有一个男人该有的一切”。斯科特没能赢得极点比赛，但斯科特和他的队员表现出的巨大勇气使他们成为了英雄。

Antarctica，he received a message from the Norwegian③ explorer④ Roald
Amundsen which said he was going south，too.Then the race to the South
Pole began！
During the polar summer of 1910－1911， both teams organised food
bases in preparation⑤ for their journeys the next year.[1]Then came the
total darkness of the polar winter.Scott and Amundsen waited anxiously
for spring.

Amundsen reached the Pole on 14 December， 1911 and put a
Norwegian flag there.Then he prepared for the return
journey.Amundsen and his team arrived safely back to their starting base
on 25 January， 1912， ten days ahead of their planned schedule.
Scott finally arrived at the Pole with four team members on 17
January，1912.They were shocked when they saw the Norwegian
flag.Scott wrote in his diary：
“Well， we have turned our back now on the goal of our ambition
and must face our 800 miles of solid dragging — and good-bye to
most of the daydreams.”
The return journey was one of the worst in the history of exploration
.The men were soon very tired and were running out of food.The
weather conditions were terrible.Scott started to realise their hopeless
situation：
“...we are unendingly cheerful ， but what each man feels in his
heart I can only guess.[4]Pulling on foot gear in the morning is getting
slower and slower ...”
However， on their way back they found time to look for rocks.They
carried twenty kilos of rocks all the way with them.Later， these rocks
proved that at one time in the distant past， the continent of Antarctica
was covered by plants.
Then disaster came.Edgar Evans had a terrible disease and died after
a bad fall.The next to go was Captain Oates， who was having great
difficulty walking .Scott recorded his death：
“He said，‘I am just going outside and may be some
time.’...We knew that poor Oates was walking to his death， but
though we tried to dissuade him， we knew it was the act of a brave man
and an English gentleman.We all hope to meet the end with a similar
spirit， and assuredly the end is not far.”
Scott and two of his team members carried on and got within
eleven miles of one of their food bases.But then a terrible storm started
and they could not leave their tent.Scott spent some of his last hours
writing.He wrote a letter [5]full of sadness to his wife Kathleen：
“What lots and lots I could tell you of this journey ...What tales you
would have for the boys.But what a price to pay.”
Scott’s diary also told the story of their end：
“...we are getting weaker， of course， and the end cannot be
far.It seems a pity， but I do not think I can write more.”
The news of Scott’s death shocked the world.Even Amundsen was
moved by Scott’s death saying “Captain Scott left a record，for honesty
， for sincerity， for bravery， for everything that makes a man”.Scott
had failed to win the race to the Pole， but the great courage [6]shown
by Scott and his men made them heroes.
[4]句中Pulling on foot gear ...为动词-ing形式作主语。
[5]句中full of sadness 为形容词短语作定语，修饰a letter。
[6]句中shown by Scott and his men为过去分词短语作定语，修饰
courage。

【参考译文】
1910年6月1日，罗伯特·福尔肯·斯科特上校离开了伦敦，开始
了去南极洲的行程。在去往南极洲的途中，他收到了挪威探险家罗尔
德·阿蒙森的一封信，信中说他也要去南极洲。于是，奔向南极的赛
跑就开始了！
在1910－1911年的极地的夏季，两支队伍都建了食品储备点，为
来年的旅程做准备。接着极地的冬季来临，四处一片黑暗。斯科特和
阿蒙森焦急地等待春天的到来。
1911年9月8日，阿蒙森第一个动身。他用几队狗拉雪橇，所有的
队员都在滑雪板上行进。因此，他进展很快。11月1日，斯科特动
身，但很快就出现了问题。先是他的两辆雪橇坏了，后来马匹开始在
大雪和严寒的天气下出现严重问题。过了一阵子，斯科特和他的队员
不得不自己推雪橇。
1911年12月14日，阿蒙森到达极点，在那里插上了挪威国旗。然
后他准备返回。1912年1月25日，阿蒙森和他的团队提前10天安全抵
达了他们出发的基地。
1912年1月17日，斯科特和四名队员终于到达了极点。当看到挪
威国旗时，他们非常震惊。斯科特在日记中写道：
“好吧，我们现在已经背弃了我们奋斗的目标，而且必须要面对
800英里的艰难跋涉——并且要告别大多数白日梦。”
他们的回程是探险史上最糟糕的旅程之一。队员们很快就精疲力
竭，食物也快吃完了。天气非常糟糕。斯科特开始意识到他们的处境
令人绝望：
“我们依然保持乐观，但每个人内心里的感受我只能猜到。大家
早上鞋子穿得越来越慢……”
然而，在回去的路上，他们还花时间去寻找了岩石。他们一路上
带着二十公斤的石头。后来，通过这些石块可以证实，在遥远的过
去，南极洲曾经被植被覆盖。
然后灾难来了。埃德加·埃文斯得了一种可怕的疾病，重重地跌
倒后去世了。下一个离去的是奥茨船长，他连走路都很困难。斯科特
记下了他的死亡：
“他说，‘我要出去一下，可能会待上一会儿。’……我们知道
可怜的奥茨正走向死亡，尽管我们曾试图阻止他，但我们都知道这是
一个勇敢的人、一个英国绅士的行为。我们都希望能以同样的精神挺
到最后，我们也确实快走到最后了。”
斯科特上校和两名队员继续向前，到达距离食品储备处不足11英
里的地方。但随后爆发了一场可怕的风暴，他们无法离开帐篷。在他
生命的最后几个小时，斯科特花时间写下一些文字。他写了一封充满
悲伤的信给妻子凯瑟琳：
“关于这次旅行我有太多太多的事情想告诉你……很多你愿意给
孩子讲的故事。但付出了多大的代价啊。”
斯科特的日记也讲述了他们的结局：
“……当然，我们正在变得越来越虚弱，终点可能不远了。非常
遗憾，但我想我无法继续写下去了。”
斯科特死亡的消息震惊了全世界。甚至阿蒙森也被斯科特的离世
所触动，他说：“斯科特上校将永载史册，因为他诚实、真诚、勇
敢，并拥有一个男人该有的一切”。斯科特没能赢得极点比赛，但斯
科特和他的队员表现出的巨大勇气使他们成为了英雄。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
What are the two things that make humans different from animals？
One is language and the other is music.It’s true that some animals can
sing.However， the songs of animals like birds are very limited.It’s also
true that humans， not animals， have developed musical instruments.
Music is a strange thing.It’s clearly different from language.
However， people can use music to communicate things — especially their emotions.When music is combined with speech in a song， it’s a very powerful form of communication.
If music is truly different from speech， then we should process
music and language in different parts of the brain.The scientific study
suggests this is true.For example， Vissarion Shebalin， a Russian
composer， had a stroke （中风） in 1953.It injured the left side of his
brain.He could no longer speak or understand speech.He could，
however， still compose music until his death ten years later.On the other
hand， sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability， but
they can still speak and understand speech.
Why does music have such a strong effect on us physically and
emotionally？ That’s a harder question to answer.Geoffrey Miller， a
researcher at University College， London， thinks that music and love
have a strong connection.Music requires special talent， practice and
physical ability.That’s why it may be a way of showing your fitness to
be someone’s mate.For example， playing a musical instrument requires
fine muscular control.You also need a good memory to remember the
notes.And playing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in
excellent condition.Finally， when a man sings to the woman he loves，
it may be a way of showing off.
However， Miller’s theory still doesn’t explain why certain
combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply.For scientists，
this is clearly an area that needs further research.

B
I was 17 years old.Along with a dozen other boys I had made a long
trip to Iowa in order to see a college that I was thinking of attending.While
the trip had been fun for the most part， now that I was there I was feeling
depressed and alone.I was missing my family and was realising that I
wouldn’t be seeing them very much if I went to school here.I was also
missing the mountains， forests， and wild flowers in my home
town.These things were a part of me.
Here in Iowa everything was flat.The grass looked burnt and
brown.All that I could smell was a mixture of corn， mud， and pigs.I
walked outside the dormitory of the college and sat on the grass.I closed
my eyes and dreamed of being back home again.
When I finally opened them， however， I saw something that
touched my soul.It was a Prairie（草原） Sunset.It seemed to fill the sky
from horizon to horizon.Gold， red， purple and pink clouds all flowed
together in a picture painted by Heaven’s own hand.It was so huge that it
took my breath away.It made our mountain sunsets seem tiny.
I was filled with wonder and felt a special oneness.I realised that I
had been foolish and judgmental.This place too had its own special
beauty.This place too was a part of magic nature.
Over the years to come I learned something else.Each of us has a
special beauty as well.Each of us has our own unique talents and
abilities.Each of us has a beautiful， powerful love that only we can
share.May you always do so then.May your life always shine bright.And
may your love shine from your soul like a sunset on the Prairie.
