• 5．    Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms.Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience.Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
     A recent study suggests that preterm（早产的） babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.Experts led by Dr Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta，Canada，found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests.It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
     Many people experiencing brain damage（脑损伤） have speech and movement-related problems.Music can help recover from brain injuries.As a different and effective treatment，doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions（功能）.When people with neurological disorders（神经系统异常） hear a musical beat，it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
     Though music cannot make deafness disappear，it really can prevent the loss of hearing.There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests.Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians，and this difference gets clearer with age.This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician，even in a noisy environment.
     Besides，music mends a broken heart.It is not about a thrown-away love，but about a heart attack.The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure，slowing down the heartbeat rate，and reducing anxiety.Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions，improves the movement of blood，and expands blood vessels，thus，promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular（心血管的） system.
  
  （1）Which of the following influences our brain most deeply？

  
  A．Music.
  B．Reading.
  C．Sports.
  D．Writing.
  （2）How does music affect preterm babies？

  
  A．It helps reduce their pain.
  B．It helps develop their potential in music.
  C．It helps improve their hearing systems.
  D．It helps repair their neurological systems.
  （3）What does the underlined word "participants" in Paragraph 4 mean？

  
  A．people who watched the experiment
  B．people who carried out the experiment
  C．people who were tested in the experiment
  D．people who were interested in the experiment
  （4）Why can music mend a broken heart？

  
  A．It has a positive effect on human body systems' work.
  B．It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
  C．It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
  D．It can help patients recover in a slow way.
  （5）What may be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Who Can Benefit from Music
  B．The Best Time to Listen to Music
  C．The Way to Choose Quality Music
  D．How Music Affects Our Mind and Body

• 6．    Throughout history，many species（物种） of animals have been threatened with dying out.When Europeans first arrived in North America，more than 60 million buffalo（水牛） lived on the continent.Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal's population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species.16.In some countries today，the elephant faces a similar challenge，as illegal（非法的） hunters kill the animals for the ivory（象牙） in their tusks.
      Yet not all animals with commercial（商业的） value face this threat（威胁）．The cow，for example，is a valuable source of food.jye.ai no one worries that the cow will soon die out.Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant，while the commercial value of beef protects the cow？
     The reason is that elephants are a common resource，while cows are private（私人的） goods which only belong to their owners.Elephants wander freely without any owners.The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find.Because the number of illegal hunters is big，each has only a little desire to protect the elephant population.By contrast（相比之下），cattle live on farms that are privately owned.Each farmer makes great effort to keep the cattle population on his farm because he gets the benefit of these efforts.
     Governments have tried to solve the elephant's problem in two ways.Some countries，such as Kenya and Uganda，have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory.Yet these laws have been hard to put into effect，and elephant numbers have continued to reduce.By contrast，other countries，such as Malawi and Namibia，have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants，but only those who own these elephants.
      With private ownership and the profit now on its side，the African elephant might someday be as safe from dying out as the cow.The ancient Greek philosopher（哲学家） Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources： "What is common to many is taken least care of，for all men attach greater importance to what is their own than for what they have together with others.
  
  （1）Why does the author mention buffalo in paragraph 1？

  
  A．To introduce a similar threat to elephants.
  B．To provide an example of species dying out.
  C．To offer an explanation（解释） for government policies.
  D．To present the statistics of the buffalo in America.
  （2）Why do elephants face threats while cows are safe？

  
  A．They are under different law protection.
  B．They attract different groups of hunters.
  C．They contain different commercial value.
  D．They belong to different ownership types.
  （3）What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？

  
  A．Bans（禁令） on killing elephants for ivory.
  B．Effective laws for elephant protection.
  C．Methods of making elephants private goods.
  D．Government policies on the elephant's problem.
  （4）Why do illegal hunters just kill elephants？

  
  A．Because elephants don't fight back.
  B．Because elephants don't have exact owners.
  C．Because local government haven't protected them.
  D．Because elephants are more valuable than other animals.
  （5）What can we learn from Aristotle's words？

  
  A．People pay little attention to others' resources.
  B．People want to profit from common resources.
  C．People care more about their own resources.
  D．People tend to take what they own for granted.
