【题目】 Moscow’s metro is thought of as the most beautiful metro in the world. It is the fifth largest metro system in the world by the length of route, and the fourth busiest metro system in the world by the annual passenger flow(年客流量).On May 15, 1935, the Soviet government opened the metro. The metro was built to provide shelter for more than 4 million people during the war.

Moscow's metro is like a palace. Few countries in the world can build metros like it, and most of these metros have a long history. It's really hard to imagine that one hundred years ago, Russians could build metros like this.

If you travel to Russia, you really should experience the metro in Moscow. If you don't know Russian and don't have much experience in tourism, you'd better find friends who understand Russian to go there with you, because the metro in Moscow is really complicated( 复杂), and there are not always English signs to show you where to go.

Moscow’s metro is not only spectacular, but also very deep. Because Moscow’s metro is not only a means of transportation, but also taking the responsibility((责任) of underground air defense(空防) shelters during the war.

Each station is designed by famous artists in Russia, each with its own special style. And each station has its own theme. Some have many murals( 壁画)that show the important events in Russian history.

【题目】 It’s been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy (海军). You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief (最高统帅). In fact, it all began from the half a year’s basic training, which I will never forget. The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without_________and long painful runs in the soft sand. I always felt cold, wet, hungry and painful.

The training also needed to find those who could_________in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months. And today, I’d like to talk about one little thing.

Every morning in the training, my instructors (教官) would appear in our rooms. The first thing they did was to_______our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.

It was a difficult task. But every morning we were required to make our beds_________. It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.

If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the first task of the day. It will bring you a small_________of success, and it will encourage you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can’t do the_________things right, you will hardly be able to do the big things right.

Changing the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn’t matter whether I ever _______ a day in uniform (制服,军服). Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made—that you made—and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

In general, if you want to change the world,_________off by making your bed. I hope all of you will have a brighter future!

【题目】 Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain.

A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly.

Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. For example, when the violinists play in an orchestra(管弦乐队), they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore(忽视)the other sounds. In this way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise.

Gotfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风)patients.

Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally However, they can till sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active, including the bad parts. In some way, this helps patients use those parts of the brain again.

So music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways. Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older.

1What were the people in the first group asked to do in the study of Northwestern University?

A.Listen to different kinds of music.B.Make some noise in an empty room.

C.Give the second group musical training.D.Find out what the talking person was saying.

2The writer uses the example of violinists in Paragraph 3 to explain________.

A.how musicians play in an orchestraB.how musicians ignore certain sounds

C.why musicians have better hearing abilityD.why musicians are not afraid of loud noise

3Gottfried Schlaug helps his stroke patients speak by________.

A.playing music for themB.getting them to sing words

C.teaching them to play instrumentsD.joining the bad parts of their brain

4What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To introduce different ways of playing music.

B.To give some advice about making our brain active.

C.To show the relationship between music and language abilities.

D.To share the results of recent studies on treating stroke patients.
