And he said, Now is

21、the time when the world needs to be hearing this music,” says Jeremy Eichler, a music critic for The Boston Globe newspaper. “This music” was not Just works by Beethoven or Brahms. It was the sounds of the time.Mr. Koussevitzky chose composer Aaron Copland to head the school. “In establishing Aaron

22、Copland as the head of the school not as the head of composition, he was making a very specific statementAnd I think he felt very strongly that paying attention to the music of ones own time is the way to ensure that there will be a future,” says Jeremy Eichler.Paul Hindemith was a refugee (难民) from

23、 the war in Europe. He was chosen as the first head of Tanglewoods music composition department.

29、cating to land to escape their predators (捕食者), in an example of evolution in action.Fish first began crawling onto dry land about 400 million years ago, kicking off an evolutionary chain of events that led to humans. But their reasons for exiting the sea have been uncertain.To look for clues, Terry

30、 Ord at the University of New South Wales in Australia has been studying several species of blennies at Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands.At low tide, blennies are commonly found swimming in rock pools around the edges of the island. But when high tide moves in, they climb up to dry land an

31、d move around the rocks until the tide retreats.The researchers found that this is most likely to avoid predators that swim in with the rising tide mainly bigger fish like lionfish.To test what would happen if blennies did not have an escape plan, they made blenny models and sank them in the sea. Th

32、e mimics ended up with wounds, bite marks and chunks-missing.Of course, there are still dangers for blennies on land, like the occasional bird attack, but the predation risk on land is a third that of underwater.Whats more, moving onto land has additional benefits for blennies. Holes in the rocks pr

33、ovide sheltered nests for laying eggs, and they can maintain their diet of bacteria.In fact, several species of blenny fish at Rarotonga have already made the full transition to land-dwelling (陆生的) species. They continue to breathe with their gills, but have developed stronger tail fins and jump fro

34、m rock to rock.Ord believes that many evolutionary processes have been driven by the need to escape predators. “It is often assumed that animals move homes to find new sources of food, but in many cases, escaping predators is a stronger motivation.” he says.28.Why do blennies climb to dry land when

35、high tide comes?A. To acquire better health. B. To search for more food.C. To seek safer living conditions. D. To adapt to a new environment.29.What does the underlined part “The mimics” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The rocks in the water. B. The predators of blennies.C. The researchers of blennies. D

Ord shows us the benefits of blennies evolution.D. Ord has discovered how fish have become land dwellers.31.Which of the following could be the best ti

37、tle for the text?A. Blennies Living HabitsB. Why Blennies Choose to Live on LandC. Blennies Evolutionary ProcessD. How Blennies Escape from their PredatorsD Research shows that splashing the cash can increase feelings of pleasure-but it depends on who you spend it on. According to a growing body of

38、evidence, it seems that it can. But what makes us really happy is not buying ourselves the latest iPhone, but splashing our cash on other people. In a study published last week, looking at the link between generosity and happiness, researchers from Zurich University divided 50 participants into two

39、groups and asked them to publicly promise how they would spend a monthly donation. One group was asked to spend 25 Swiss francs a week on gifts or outings for other people, and the second group was asked to spend it on themselves.Levels of happiness were measured on a subjective scale before and aft

40、er the commitment. Those in the first group who promised generously increased their happiness more than the group who planned to buy themselves treats.Participants then underwent an MRI scan to see which bits of the brain were the most active during generous acts. During the scan, participants were

41、asked to work out how they would like to spend money on a person of their choice. Some of the choices involved participants having to pay extra out of their own pocket to give a gift. For example, they were told they would have to pay 20 francs in order for the receiver of their generosity to get 15

42、 francs. There is a part of the brainthe temporo-parietal junction (头顶骨结合点)that neuroscientists say is associated with generosity,as well as one linked with happinessthe ventral striatum (脑纹状体). When people made generous decisions in this study, both areas of the brain showed increased activity. The

43、 researchers conclude that their findings have important implications for all of us.It is human nature, the evidence shows, to be generous, although, when asked in surveys, we assume that self-interest is a stronger emotion. But, it turns out, such self-interest doesnt make us nearly as happy as giv

44、ing to others. Studies in which people have been given envelopes of money to spend show that those who spent a proportion of it on a gift, or gave some to charity, felt happier than those who spent it on a present for themselves or a bill they needed to pay. A study of young children found that even

45、 toddlers (学步小孩) felt happier giving rather than getting treats. Other studies show that volunteering increases happiness.Research looking at survey data from 136 countries found that spending on others has a “consistent, causal impact on happiness.” This was true across a range of cultures and econ

46、omies. The best news is that you dont have to give much to feel the benefits. And it is morally fine to give only because it makes you happier.32.Why do the researchers from Zurich University divide 50 participants into two groups?A. To stress how important feeling happy is.B. To check whether they

47、will donate generously.C. To show how to splash our cash on other people.D. To look at the connection between generosity and happiness.33.What do the words “important implications” in the last sentence of Paragraph 3 refer to?A. To be generous is human nature.B. Its hard for people to make generous

48、decisions.C. To be generous doesnt make one happy as expected.D. Bits of the brain have nothing to do with generosity.34.What message does the passage mainly convey?A. Getting treats is more delightful than giving for toddlers.B. Whoever spends money on others can be truly depressed or feel gloomy.C

49、. Whoever is a giver of a gift or to a charity will morally feel more cheerful.D. A gift can be anything but beneficial for the giver as well as the receiver.35.Which of the following can be the most suitable title for the text?A. Can money buy you happiness?B. What is the quality of personal relati

50、onships?C. What is the purpose of undergoing an MRI scan?D. How to balance self-interest and encourage generosity? 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We are surrounded by messages trying to get our attention.

Its very similar to advertising, whose goal is to get people to buy something, while propaganda is to change what people believe.Propaganda TechniquesTo create propaganda, a common technique is na

52、me-calling. A politician might call someone a traitor or liar, which makes the other person look bad. Another is the trend technique.
