27、 School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That's no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately remove the powerful social labels from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the "wrong" clothes.
Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends.
As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes the symbol of law and order. The uniform means his or her special duties to the wearer and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear different uniforms. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours in school is to get education.
Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children's "creativity." First, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). They just copy their classmates. Second,while students are in school, their job is to master reading, writing and maths. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.
【1】In Paragraph 1, the word "benefits" probably means______________.
A.tasks B.messages C.differences D.advantages
【2】From the passage we learn that uniforms in general ___________.
A.prevent the wearers from being laughed at
B.help the wearers keep their duties in mind
C.are seen as a symbol of power
D.help to develop students’ creativity
【3】Some people are against school uniforms because _____________.
A.they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms
B.they believe that uniforms will make students less creative
C.they don't agree that uniforms can remove social labels
D.they think that school uniforms are too popular
【4】The author would probably agree that __________.
A.it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not
B.students’ individuality may not come from school education
C.students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose
D.school uniforms help to create equality among students
28、 Would you BET on the future of this man? He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, he determines to write a book.
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》) . And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days, while others go to seed long before？
We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark. I'm not talking about those who fail to get to the top. We can't all get there. I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.
Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the opportunities are everywhere.
The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills. We learn to bear with the things we can't change. We learn to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please, some people are never going to love us-an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.
With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我) , whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept.
Many of us equate(将……等同于) “commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing. But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such excellence-whether they are driving a truck, or running a store-make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They've learned life's most valuable lesson.
【1】The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that _____________.
A.loss of freedom stimulates one's creativity
B.age is not a barrier to achieving one's goal
C.misery inspires a man to fight against his fate
D.disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success
【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.End one's struggle for liberty.
B.Waste one's energy taking risks.
C.Miss the opportunity to succeed.
D.Lose the interest to continue learning.
【3】What could be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped.
B.Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead.
C.Opportunity favours those with a curious mind.
D.Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind.
【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A.To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.
B.To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work.
C.To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.
D.To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.
29、 What will man be like in the future--in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example, Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald (光秃的).
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. But in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
【1】The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A.humans needn't wear glasses in the future.
B.man's life will be different in the future.
C.future man will look quite different from us.
D.man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.
【2】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.future life is always predictable (可预测的)
B.human beings will become less attractive in the future
C.less use of a bodily organ (器官) may lead to its degeneration (退化)
D.human beings hope for a change in the future life
【3】Future man will be similar to us in ________.
A.Colour and height B.size and appearance
C.thought and observation D.thought and emotion

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music
It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”
But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?
A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.
We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.
But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.
They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.
Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.
【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.
