9．You have probably heard of the Mozart effect．It's the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart，they will become more intelligent．A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task．Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart's music，but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever，the picture is more mixed．
The phrase"the Mozart effect"was made up in 1991，but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked（激发）real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain．Ii is one of those ideas that sound reasonable．Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself； his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it，we'll become more intelligent．
The idea took off，with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children，and in 1998 Zell Miller，the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US，even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music．It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart's music on purpose，even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk．
I'll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers，but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent？More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally，but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn't make us more intelligent．

46．What can we learn from Paragraph 1？B
A．Mozart composed many musical pieces for children．
B．There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect．
C．There are few products on the Internet about Mozart's music．
D．Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent．
47．Why did many people believe in the idea of Mozart Effect？B
A．Because a study described it in the journal Nature．
B．Because Mozart himself was a genius．
C．Because Mozart's music is enjoyable．
D．Because Mozart's music makes people relaxed．
48．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests thatD．
A．people were strongly against the idea
B．the US government helped promote the idea
C．Mozart played an important part in people's life
D．the idea was accepted by many people
49．What is the author's attitude towards the Mozart effect？A
A．Doubtful．B．Supportive．C．Favorable．D．Positive．
50．What would be the best title for the passage？C
A．What is the Mozart effect？
B．What music is beneficial？
C．Listening to Mozart，necessary？
D．To be or not to be？
5．Traveling can help you make friendsworldwide（遍及世界）．
2．There is no question that fewer teenagers are on the roads in the US．
In 1978，50% of 16-year-olds had got their first driving licence．In 2008，according to the US Transportation Department，it was just 30%．The number of those aged 19and under with driving licences has also been declining since 1978，when 11，989，000had licence．In 2010，it was 9，932，441，or 4.1% of American drivers．
In the UK，683，273teenagers have driving licences-just1.85% of total licence holders，according to Department of Transport figures from September 2010．
But the decline in the US may have more to do with tougher tests and the introduction of the new rule in many states，which force drivers aged under 16to be accompanied by licensed drivers of 21years and older when driving，than the growth of social networking．
In recent years，the annual number of journeys being made by American drivers of all ages has declined clearly for the first time ever．Car use began falling in 2007，when average petrol prices almost doubled to $4.12a gallon，and the economy became worse．
But there are signs that American remains a country on wheels．It has a higher number of cars per head of population than any other country in the world．
"Cars will always be a popular means of transportation in America．You have to take into consideration some places don't have access to public transportation．Cars are the only way some people can get around，"says Kristin Nevels．This makes driving necessary in some rural states，where about twice as many teenagers are on the road than in big cities．

29．What would be the best title for the text？D
A．Driving in the US．
B．Transportation in the US．
C．US Teenagers Drive Less．
D．People Like Cars in the US．
30．which of the following is not the reason why cars are used less than before？C
A．traffic jams              
B．harder tests
C．expensive petrol          
D．worst economy
31．We can learn from the last paragraph that Kristin NevelsC．
A．doubts the popularity of the car use in the future．
B．thinks American people can live without cars．
C．holds confident attitude to the cars'use in America．
D．believes America should build up its public transportation．
32．What can be inferred from the text？B
A．The UK has more teenager drivers than the US．
B．A 15-year-old boy cannot drive alone in the US．
C．The US has very developed bus transportation system．
D．Big cities have more teenager drivers than rural areas in the US．
9．Dear Alcohol，
You've been around forever．I can remember all the pain you've caused for me．
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life？I do．He loves you．Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me．He's addicted to you，to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them．You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street，crashing into two other cars．He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night．
Do you remember the night of my first high school party？You were there．My friends were intrigued by you．They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could．I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely．"I'm so embarrassed，"they said a s I held their hair back so that they could vomit （呕吐）．"I'm sorry，"they said when I called taxies for them，walking them out and paying the driver in advance．"This won't happen again，"they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped．Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you．
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons？Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car？He died the next morning too．His sister walked home from her dance lesson，and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio．She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all．She never saw him again．And it's all your fault．
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever．I don't want anything to do with you．Look at all the pain you've caused．Sure，you've made people happy too from time to time．But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable．Stop luring （引诱） in the people I love．Stop hurting me，please．
Sincerely，
Anonymous

3．It is suggested that measures must be taken to improve our education．
4．Plant cloning has been an agricultural technique used by farmers and gardeners for centuries．Grafting （嫁接） is a common form of plant cloning．Many plants in nature actually clone themselves and reproduce asexually．
Cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants，so their yield （产量） is more reliable．Cloned plants also reproduce faster，limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting．It is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methods．Plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available．With more yield at a faster rate，farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costs．
Cloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of crops．This would make plants immune （免疫的） to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year．Crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past．Also，plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloning．
Through cloning scientists can develop"super"fruits and vegetables of superior nutritional quality．This could make for a healthier population overall．This is already being done through selective pollination （授粉），and genetic cloning could take it to the next level．
By plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases，but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive．While there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning，there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital to the propagation （繁衍） of the human species．
29．The underlined word"optimized"in Paragraph 2can be replaced by"C"．
A．enlarged
B．produced          
C．perfected
D．examined
30．According to the text，cloned plantsD．
A．have lower yield than normal plants
B．need little care from people
C．resist various kinds of diseases       
D．have a short growth cycle
31．What is the main purpose of the text？D
A．To warn the negative effects of plant cloning．
B．To present different kinds of plant cloning．
C．To predict the future of plant cloning．
D．To inform us about the advantages of plant cloning．
