| On December 8, 1980, John Lennon-an English musician who rose to fame as one of the founding members of Liverpool pop band the Beatles-was shot dead outside his New York apartment. In the 1960s and 70s, Lennon was one of the most iconic (偶像的) men on the planet. Some 30 years ago from his death, he is still respected by many people in the West. The Beatles, formed in 1960 in Liverpool, were one of the most commercial successful acts on the history of pop music, with, according to some estimates, global record sales over l.1 billion. The band conveyed the progressive ideals in which many young people of the time believed. In the 1960s and 70s, widespread tension developed in both British and American society, regarding issues such as women's rights and the Vietnam War. Lennon in particular became known for his message of peace and for his opposition to the war in Vietnam. This led to an attempt by former US president Richard Nixon to drive him away from the US. Lennon's second- wife Yoko Ono was also politically active. Lennon was also hugely admired for his musical abilities. Along with fellow-Beatle Paul, Lennon and McCartney were the Beatle's song-writing team. After Lennon was shot by crazy fan Mark Chapman, one of his most iconic songs, imagine, became a humanist anthem (颂歌). Lennon's legacy survived his death and continued till this day. In 2008, he was ranked the fifth greater singer of all time in US-based Rolling Stone magazine. Former possessions of Lennon or furnishings from his homes continue to be sold for vast sums. In an auction (拍卖) to be held next week in London, lines written by Lennon on the back of a demand for an outstanding bill are expected to sell for ￡350,000. In August, a bathroom from his last home in Britain, was auctioned for ￡9,500. And in 2009, a British film describing his early years before the Beatles began, was one of the most successful films of the years in the UK. But do Lennon and his music continue to resonate (共鸣) with the young people of today? |

| 3. Lennon was forced to leave the US as a result of ____. |
| A. the tension between Britain and America B. his wife's political activity C. his struggle for women's rights D. his opposition to the war in Vietnam |

Many delivered its fair share of pain and frustration. Many of the stories and headlines from this year have influenced our lives and left their marks on our vocabulary.

| Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently-animals. That's right, animals. Scientists have begun to understand what farmers have known for thousands of years. Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a Chinese quake in 1975, snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. Cows broke their halters (缰绳) and tried to escape. Chickens refused to enter their cage. All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in the earth, warned Chinese scientists of the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone saved thousands of lives. One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It's not an easy job. First of all, not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1977, for example, an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his enclosure. The Australian horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. It's also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animal restlessness and "earthquake nerves." A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers, saying that his cougar had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach. A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kinds of warnings the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can sense tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict earthquakes. A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were shut in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes. (Several small quakes often come before or after a large one.) Before each quake a low booming sound was heard. Each boom caused the dogs to bark wildly. Then the dogs began to bark during a silent period. A scientist who was recording quakes looked at his machine. It was acting as though there were a loud noise too. The scientist realized that the dogs had reacted to booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing. In this case there was a machine to monitor what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing extraordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming. The animals might be sensing something we measure but do not recognize as a warning. Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know it is a danger signal, is a job for future scientists. |
| 1. Through the passage the writer hopes to explore ____. |
| A. why animals send a danger signal before an earthquake B. how animals know when an earthquake is coming C. why animals not humans have a good sense of danger D. how much animals know about an earthquake |
| 2. During an earthquake in China in 1975, ____. |
| A. chickens refused to go out of their cage B. snakes were frozen to death in their caves C. snakes awoke from their winter sleep earlier D. cows broke their halters and escaped from their sheds |
| 3. Which of the following is one of earthquake nerves according to the passage? |
| A. An Arabian horse tried to escape from his enclosure. B. A cougar had an upset stomach unexpectedly. C. An Australian horse was perfectly calm. D. A cat acted very strangely in a zoo. |
| 4. The scientists did an experiment with a group of dogs to ____. |
| A. find out that the machine could record unusual happenings B. compare the reactions of animals and those of humans C. prove that animals could sense more than humans D. find out what exact warnings animals send |

| Do you remember the game "Telephone"? A message gets passed from person to person, and everyone laughs at how distorted (曲解) it becomes. As a game, telephone can be fun. In real life, sending messages through third parties fouls things up. It is important for family members who have "business" with other family members to take it up directly. When tension arises in a relationship between two people, a frequent way of dealing with this is to send messages through a third person. Family doctors refer to the process as triangulation. Following a quarrel, a mother may say to her son, "Tell your father to pass the salt," which may be answered by, "Tell your mother to get her own salt." In many long cases of triangulation, the middleman becomes severely disturbed. Two years ago, Ruth and Ralph Gordon brought their 17-year-old daughter for treatment. Lucille was not doing well in school, using drugs heavily. When I began to work with her, she was uncommunicative and aggressive. After some time, however, she opened up and told me her parents rarely talked to each other, but both used her as a middleman. Mrs. Cordon was sexually unsatisfied and suggested to Lucille that she ask her father to go for marriage advice. Mr. Cordon told Lucille that he was seeing another woman, and he urged Lucille to speak to her mother about improving her behaviour. Caught in this confusing situation, Lucille became more and more troubled. It wasn't until she refused to play middleman that she began to improve. When either parent began to send a message through her, she learned to say, "Tell him/her yourself!" You'll find that when family members learn to dial each other directly, there's rarely a busy signal or wrong number. With direct dialing, a sense of freshness is created. |
| 1. The underlined words "fouls things up" in the 1st paragraph means, ____. |
| A. create things B. improve things C. remove things D. ruins things |
| 2. "triangulation" in the second sentence of the 2nd paragraph refers to ____. |
| A. the process of sending messages through a 3rd person B. the middleman who becomes severely disturbed C. the tension in a relationship between two people D. the argument between a mother and a father |
| 3. Through the example of Lucille and her parents, the writer hopes to tell the readers that ____. |
| A. family members should learn to get their messages across directly B. parents should send their children taking drugs for treatment C. children can hardly get used to their parents' troubles D. children should refuse the requests of their parents |
