19.When the well-known pianist Kong Xiangdong first made it big in the city in the early 1990s,he was called the"piano prince."His smart looks and passionate(激昂的)music won the hearts of many women fans.Now the"prince"has revealed his new look-with hair shaved(剃O光) off."It is very environmentally friendly,"Kong said,smiling."I never need to use shampoo or a hair dryer!"The real reason for the change is that Kong started to lose his hair.
But when he talks about his early piano training,Kong speaks of"bitterness"and"hardship."He says"A pianist has no childhood at all.I didn't understand the games other children played."
Kong's mother-Lin Youling,who had a great interest in piano-provided him with a keyboard painted on paper.It was on this soundless"instrument"that he began his piano career,at the age of 5.His mother put the"keyboard"in the kitchen and asked Kong to practice on it every day.Kong had to vocalize the notes."My interest in music declined quickly because the silent′keyboard'made practice very boring,"he said.
When he was 7,Kong's mother borrowed enough money to buy a second-hand piano for him.She almost spent all her savings on the instrument,so it was a real fortune.It was not a good quality piano and the keys were yellow and old,"like an old woman's teeth."Kong used this"old granny"piano for 10years.It stimulated his real passion for learning music because he was fascinated(着迷的) by the beautiful sound of a real piano after years at the paper keyboard.He has kept the old piano to remind him of those days.
Practice is the only path to success.Knowing that,Kong was a hard-working student at school,where he wore out several keyboards on musical exercises.
58.Why did Kong Xiangdong shaved off his hair?B
A.Because his fans like it.
B.Because his hair started to lose.
C.Because it is very friendly to environment.
D.Because he never used shampoo or a hair dryer.
59.The underlined word"declined"in paragraph3means"A"
A.droped         B.enlarged          C.landed           D.raised
60.Why did Kong Xiangdong call his piano"old granny"for 10years in paragraph4?B
A.Because it was of good quality.
B.Because it was of bad quality with yellow and old keys.
C.Because it used to be played by an old woman before.
D.Because it almost took all of his mother's money to buy it.
61.What do we know about Xiangdong in this passage?D
A.He first made his big success in the city in 1990.
B.He began his piano career,at the age of 7.

17.On May 23,1989,Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad,New Mexico.She hadn't seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks.Stefania was in a research program,and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms.In this experiment Stefania had spent 130days in a cave,30feet in depth.
During her time in the cave,Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice.Her living place had been very comfortable,but there had been nothing to tell her the time.She'd had no clocks or watches,no television or radio.There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.
The results were very interesting.Stefania had been in the cave for over four months,but she thought she had been there for only two.Her body clock had changed.She hadn't kept to a 24-hour day.She had stayed awake for 20-25hours and then had slept for 10hours.She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a result!She had also become rather depressed.
How had she spent her time in the cave?As part of the experiment she'd done some physical and mental tests.She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer.This computer had been specially programmed for the project.Whenever she was free,she'd played cards,read books and listened to music.She'd also learned French from tapes.
The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature.For example,the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep.However,people are affected in different ways.Some people wake up naturally at 5:00am,but others don't start to wake up till 9:00or 10:00am.This affects the whole daily rhythm.As a result,the early risers are at their best in the late morning.The late risers,on the other hand,are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

59.Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time becauseB.
A.she needed to record her life
B.she was part of a research program.
C.she wanted to experience loneliness
D.she was asked to do research on mice
60.What is the cause for the change of Stefania's body clock?C
A.Eating fewer meals.
B.Having more hours of sleep.
C.Getting no natural light.
D.Lacking physical exercise.
61.The text is most probably taken fromA.
A.A news story.
B.A novel.
C.A pet magazine.
D.A travel guide.
4."BANG!"the door caused a reverberation (回声).It was just standing there,with father standing on one side,and I on the other side.
    We were both in great anger."Never set foot in this house again!"stormed father.With tears welling up in my eyes,I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
   The street lights were shining,causing a rather sad feeling.I wandered aimlessly.
     A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me.I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space:happy and carefree.
      But now …I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old.We differ in our ways of thinking.He always put his opinions and codes (模式)of behavior on me.Whenever I do something wrong,he never admits it.We are just like two people coming from two different worlds.It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
    I wandered the streets,without a destination in mind.My heart was frozen on this hot summer night.As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets,until I had only the street lights to keep me company.When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived,I saw that the light was still on.
      I thought to myself:"Is father waiting for me,or is he still angry with me?"
    In fact,it was nothing.Perhaps,dad was throwing away some of his old stamps.Perhaps he thought they were useless.I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.I can't stand his outrageous(蛮横的)words:"I can't throw you away,let alone these old papers?"
      All the lights were off except father's.
     Dad was always like this.Maybe he didn't know how to express himself.After shouting at me,he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers.
     This was how he always was.He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
    The light was still on."Am I wrong?"I whispered,maybe…With the key in hand,I was as nervous as I had ever been.At last,I decided to open the door.As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all.Love-it is second to none.

18.Three men were travelling across the desert when their car broke down.There were no other traffics,so their only hope was to walk.
Before they set off,they looked around in the car for useful things to take with them.One of the men took a bottle of whisky.Another took an umbrella.The third unscrewed a door from the car and carried that.
After they had been walking for almost a day,they came across a camel caravan travelling towards them.
"Let's try to join the caravan,"one of the men said."It's going the wrong way but we'll be safer than if we keep on alone across the desert."
The other s agreed,so they asked the leader of the caravan for permission to join it.

"It's a bottle of whisky.I decided to carry it with me so that if I feel miserable and want to give up,I can get drunk,cheer myself up and then keep on walking."
"Very sensible,"the leader of the caravan said.Then he pointed to the next man and his umbrella.
"It hasn't rained in the desert for many years,"he said."Why are you carrying an umbrella?"
"I don't want to get heat exhaustion,"he replied."The umbrella will give me shade from the sun."
"Very sensible,"the leader of the caravan said.He pointed to the third man and his car door."And why are you carrying a car door?"he asked him.
"I thought that if I got too hot I could open the window and let some air in,"he explained.
