20．Have you ever dreamed of being famous （56）as a musician？At first many singers may form a band to practise their music．And then they may get the chance to give （57）performances （perform） in pubs or clubs．Later they may gradually become popular．（58）However，the Monkees started in a different way．They beganas a TV show．The TV organizers had put an advertisement in a newspaper（59）looking （look） for rock musicians who could act as well as sing．（60）Honestly （honest） speaking，only one of them was good enough and the other three members pretended （61）to sing （sing）．So it couldn't （62）be called （call） a real band at the beginning．Anyhow，their shows were （63）humorous （humour） and they became popular．After a year or so，they worked harder and produced （64）their own records and started touring．About 1970，the Monkees broke up but they reunited in the mid-1980s and in 1996produced a new record，with （65）which they celebrated their former happy time．

19．Life is good for penguins in Antarctica（南极洲）at the end of the movie Happy Feet．Real-life penguins，though，have little to celebrate．
Twelve of the world's 19penguin species（种类）face serious dangers，according to wildlife experts．
They are in danger of disappearing from the earth，including emperor penguins．
"Many of the world's penguin species are in big trouble，"penguin expert Kassel Siegel told WR News．
Her wildlife group is asking the US government to protect the 12species of penguins in danger．Several countries are making efforts to make sure the rapidly increasing tourists in Antarctica do not cause environmental problems．
Overfishing is one reason for the problem．Penguins eat small fish and tiny animals called krill．Fishing boats are catching lots of krill．That leaves less food for penguins to eat．
Another reason for the decline（减少）in the number of penguins is global warming．Global warming is the slow increase in average temperature around the world．It is causing sea ice to melt．Penguins need the sea ice as a place to rest while they search for krill．
Scientists say global warming is caused when we drive cars or use electricity．That burns coal，oil，and natural gas．The burning of coal，oil，and natural gas gives off gases that add to the overheating of the earth．"We can and must reduce gas emissions（排放）to keep penguins safe in the future，"says Siegel．

24．What would probably happen if people reduced their use of coal，oil，and natural gas？B
A．Penguins would have to move toother places to live．

26．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A

B．Penguins need the sea ice as a place to feed their children．
C．Nineteen of the world's penguin species face serious dangers．
D．The US government has taken measures to protect the penguins in danger．

18．Yesterday was my 18thbirthday．As Father and Mother thought it （56）was（be） a big day for me，they suggested I（57）（should）hold （hold） a birthday party at home to celebrate it．For several days they had been busy（58）（in）preparing （prepare） for this．On that day，I was pleased to see all my friends had come（59）witha lot of wonderful presents．
We spent a great night together，（60）happily（happy） talking and eating．One of （61）themost exciting moments was when Mother put a big birthday cake on the table and all my friends began to sing Happy Birthday．Seeing the 18candles burning，I couldn't hold back my （62）tears （tear）．Without Father and Mother's love，I would not lead such a happy life now．Mother sked me to make a wish before I blew out all the candles．After that，everyone enjoyed the sweet birthday cake and shared my happiness．
I am eighteen years old now，（63）which means I've become an adult and have （64）more （many） responsibilities．I'll do my best to return my parents'love and live up to（65）their（they） expectations．

17．Your friends'lives may look more exciting than yours on Facebook，but new research shows that is because they are faking（伪造） them．
A recent survey has found around two-thirds of people on social media post images to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous．And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged their peers（同龄人） based on what they saw on their Instagram，Snapchat or Facebook pages．
The British survey，by smartphone maker HTC，found that，in order to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting，6% also said they had borrowed items t include in the images in order to pass them off as their own．More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and places purely to show off，causing jealousy among friends and family．
Behavioral psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurprising due to the rise of social media．"We're living in a world of instant communication，"she said．"Fashion and style used to live and die in magazines； now people are in search of authentic（真实的），peer-to-peer recommendations as well，making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspapers．"
"With images being shared in an instant we desire to know what our friends are wearing，or what super stars are buying，as soon as they have got them．"Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram.76% of those asked also said seeing items on social media influences them to buy them，with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they see．

A．By buying pictures． B．By posting images．
C．By making up stories． D．By risking their lives．

16．In order to know a foreign language thoroughly，four things are necessary．Firstly，we must understand the language when we hear（61）itspoken．Secondly，we must be able to speak it correctly with confidence and without hesitation．（62）Thirdly，we must be able to read the language，and fourthly，we must be able to write it．We must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct．
There is no easy way to success（63）inlanguage learning．（64）Agood memory is of great help，but it is not enough only （65）to memorize（memorize） rules from a grammar book．It is not much use learning by heart long list of words and（66）theirmeaning，studying the dictionary and so on．We must learn by using the language（67）If．we are satisfied with only a few rules we have memorized，we are not really learning the language．"Learn through use"is a good piece of（68）advice（advise） for those（69）whoare studying a new language．Practice is important．We must practise speaking and （70）writing（write） the language whenever we can．

11．Baekeland and Hartmann report that the"short sleepers"had been more or less average in  their sleep needs until the men were in their teens．But at about age 15 0r so，the men voluntarily  began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school，work，and other  activities．These men tended to regard their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines．
In general，these"short sleepers"appeared ambitious，active，energetic and cheerful．They  stuck to their opinions，and were very sure about their job choices..They often held several jobs at  once，or worked full-or part-time while going to school．And many of them had a strong urge to appear"normal"or"acceptable"to their friends and colleagues．
