Alexander the Great was a mighty(强大的) king and conqueror(征服者). He was one of the greatest military geniuses(军事天才) the world has ever known. He was born in Pella, Macedonia.

Alexander’s father, King Philip II of Macedon, taught him to plan and win battles.
The young prince became King when he was 20. He then began the series of marches that continued until he ruled almost all of the then-known world. On his great war horse, Bucephalus, he first took over Greece. He went on to conquer southeastern Europe, Asia Minor, Egypt and India.

　　Read the following three pieces of news , and then answer the questions．

　　Police said that Rob Bailey planned his bank robbery very carefully, but he didn't think to bring any paper with him－and that's what got him in trouble．Bailey apparently found an envelope in his pocket and wrote on the back of it “Give me all your money．” This is what he gave to the bank teller．Unfortunately for Bailey, he had written his note on an envelope that contained a letter from his mother．The bank teller noticed Bailey's name and address on the envelope as soon as he handed it to her．She gave the envelope to the police, and the police soon arrested him at home．

　　No one noticed when Mick Novak carried little Alex, a sleeping bundle(包)wrapped in a blanket, onto a North Star Airline's flight．Alex caused no trouble when he woke up as he was fastened into its own seat, purchased at the full cost of ＄400．He was enjoying his lunch when the trouble began．A flight attendant screamed, “He's alive!” when she realized furry(多毛的)little Alex wasn't a stuffed(填充物)animal．Alex is 25-pound chimp．He is tidy, quiet and pleasant, but he is a chimp, and North Star says he can't fly economy class．In fact, North Star spokesperson Jon Austin said the airline's policy is that large animals have to ride in the cargo(货物)hold．But Novak said , “I would think, given North Star's current financial problems, they would be happy to take any paying customer．”

　　Carmen Ferreira had given up hope of finding her pet parrot, Raquel, who disappeared from the back garden of her house two years ago．But when she heard the familiar screech： “Hello, Raquel!” as she walked past a neighbor's house one weekend, she called the police．The neighbor denied the bird was Raquel and said he had bought it from a pet store three years ago．But the bird recognized his true owner while behind bars at the police station, screeching, “Hello, Luis!” the name of Ferreira's grandson, and “Hello, Smokey!” her cat's name．During the course case last week , the bird dozed off but interrupted its nap to shout “Hello, Luis!” at the judge, who had ruled the bird belonged to Ferreira．

　　The decision of the New York philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment．For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a classical-music critic．

　　One of the reason why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known．Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert's appointment in the Times, calls him “an musician with no air of the formidable(令人敬畏的)conductor about him．” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has so far been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise．

　　For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one．To be sure, he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music．All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or open my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes．

　　Devoted concertgoers who reply that recording are no substitute for live performance are missing the point．For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists(演奏家) must compete not only with opera houses, dance groups , theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20 th century．Their recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today's choosing．The widespread availability of such recording has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert．

　　One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on records．Gilbert's own interest in new music has been widely noted：Alex Ross , a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more energetic organization”．But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely, expanding the orchestra's repertoire(曲目)will not be enough．If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America's oldest orchestra and the new audience it hopes to attract．

(1)

We learn from Para 1 that Gilbert's appointment has ________．
[　　]
A．	met with criticism
B．	received applause
C．	raised suspicion
D．	aroused curiosity

(2)

The author believes that the devoted concertgoers ________．
[　　]
A．	reject most kinds of recorded performance
B．	fail to recognize the variety of live performance
C．	overestimate(高估)the variety of live performance
D．	ignore the expense of live performance

(3)

According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?
[　　]
A．	They are often inferior to live concerts in quality
B．	They are easily accessible to the general public
C．	They help improve the quality of music
D．	They have only covered masterpieces

(4)

Regarding Gilbert's role in revitalizing( 振兴) the Philharmonic, the author feels ________
[　　]
A．	enthusiastic
B．	confident
C．	puzzled
D．	doubtful

One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the cafe, he quickly ran up to get it.

For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”

Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.

First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a

nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.

Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts. “Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.

And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?

I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

1. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______.

A. jogging became very popular

B. people jogged only during the daytime

C. Alex organized an army of joggers

D. jogging provided a chance to get together

2. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.

A. heart attacks B. Back problems C. famous joggers D. physical weaknesses

3. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?

A. He felt it was worth a try. B. He was very fond of it.

C. He was strongly against it. D. He thought it must be painful.

4. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?

A. He disliked doing exercise outside.

B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.

C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.

D. He was worried about being left alone.

5. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.

A. not everyone enjoys jogging

B. he is the only person who hates jogging

C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit

D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.
