　　A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honours a person can receive．As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel．Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and lived from 1833 to 1896．

　　Alfred Nobel was a chemist and inventor．He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich．Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man．He never married or had children．Also, he was a sick man in a large part of his life．Nobel died at the age of sixty-three．When he died, he left a fund of ＄9, 000, 000．The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and the promotion of world peace．

　　The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10 th, 1901, five years after Nobel's death．Many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements．Albert Einstein was one of them．

　　Each Prize has three parts．The first part is a gold medal．Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the Prize．The third part of the Prize is a large amount of money－about ＄40, 000．

　　Often a Prize is given to just one person, but not always．Sometimes a Prize is shared．It may be given to two or three people who have worked together．Sometimes a Prize is not given at all if there is no outstanding achievement．In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given．It is the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm that decides whether to give the Prize or not．

　　All young people dream of travelling the world．They are restless and very eager to see new sights．However, they have little idea how they would really do it if given the chance．Because their knowledge of geography is quite limited, they seldom know much about the places they wish to visit or how they would get there．

　　Already hundreds of thousands of Chinese student tourists are visiting these places-Wuyi, Lhasa, Lijiang, Dali, Vientiane and Phnom Penh．Indeed, these students will soon be the most travelled generation in China's long history．The World Tourist Organization predicts that a quarter of a century from now the number of Chinese tourists going abroad will be twenty times what it is today．The largest percentage of these tourists will visit Southeast Asia．Not all Chinese who travel abroad will be tourists, however．More and more youths are deciding to volunteer their skills in this region; much like their peers in th-e Peace Corps and VSO．

　　Critical thinking skills required include planning for a trip and solving problems after the trip has begun．The focus is on how to read an atlas(地图集)to make travel plans and how to find ways of travelling．An atlas offers a wealth of information about geography and is one way to increase students' awareness of their global environment．Use of an atlas especially addresses the needs of students with different visual and spatial(空间的)learning styles．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　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
