People all over the world love listening to music and most have their favourite songs which they listen to again and again.But how did it all start? When could people first choose the music they wanted to listen to?

The 1900s：The player pianos

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries，pianos became very popular and rich families bought “player pianos”．A player piano played music that was programmed on paper rolls with holes in them and you could also play it like a “normal” piano.In the mid 1920s player pianos began to disappear mainly because the radio got more popular.

The 1910s：The first phonographs(留声机)

As early as 1877，there were phonographs to play music on and by the 1910s，many families had one.The music was on “records” made of aluminum foil(铝箔)．People could listen to them only a few times before the foil broke.Later the music was on wax cylinders(蜡筒)．These could hold longer recordings (two to four minutes)，and people could play them more often.

The 1920s：Gramophones and record players

Gramophones were similar to the phonographs，but they used flat vinyl(乙烯基) disks and not cylinders to hold the music.The disks went round，and first a steel needle，then later a small diamond，“took” the music off the record.Some of the disks could play for more than 20 minutes per side.Today some music lovers who are crazy about disks still use vinyl records.

The 1960s－1970s：Cassettes and the Walkman

In the 1960s，the first cassette recorders became popular.A big step towards modern technology was the invention of the first portable(便携式的) cassette player，the “Walkman”，by the Japanese company，Sony in 1979.For the first time，people could listen to their favourite music while they were travelling，doing sports，or going for walks.

1．What happened to the player piano in the mid 1920s?

A．Only the rich could afford it.

B．It began to be used as a “normal” piano.

C．It was gradually replaced by the radio.

D．It was improved and played music automatically.

2．What do we know about phonographs and gramophones?

A．They used different records to hold the music.

B．They are still popular among music lovers now.

C．Gramophones were easier to carry than phonographs.

D．Phonographs held longer recordings than gramophones.

3．The text is mainly about         .

A．the history of music

B．the popularity of music

C．the different types of music

D．the development of listening to music

LEGO began as one man’s small business.But today，it is the second largest toy company in the world.The LEGO company sells small，brightly colored plastic bricks(积木)．People can buy LEGO bricks in over 90 countries.

Ole Kirk Kristiansen from Denmark began his own business in 1932.He made products from wood including colorful wooden toys.Kristiansen’s young son，Godtfred，worked with him.Their business helped them make a lot of money.

By 1934，the Kristiansens named their company LEGO，which came from two Danish words，“leg” and “godt”，meaning “play well”．The LEGO company grew slowly.But it continued to create excellent wooden toys.

By 1947，the LEGO company began using a new material to make their toys—plastic.One of the toys they sold was called the Automatic Binding Brick.A person could put the bricks together to build something.But the bricks did not hold together easily.Still，they were a popular toy.

A few years later，in 1954，Godtfred Kirk Kristiansen had a big idea.He wanted all of the LEGO bricks to fit together.Finally，four years later，in 1958，the LEGO company found their answer.They invented the first modern style LEGO brick，which was similar to the Automatic Binding Brick but each piece would fit with any other piece.

Since that time，any toy that the LEGO company created would fit with any other toy they created.Today，LEGO is not only the second largest toy maker in the world，but also making its products a great way for children to learn creative building skills.

4．When the LEGO company was set up，it         .

A．had a rapid growth

B．failed to attract children

C．was small but successful

D．invited children to work with it

D．It was a building toy.

6．The first modern style LEGO brick         .

A．fit together perfectly

B．was invented in the early 1950s

C．was created by Godtfred and his father

D．differed greatly from the Automatic Binding Brick

7．What’s the best title for the text?

A．LEGO：Play Well

B．LEGO：Educational Toys

C．Toy Companies：From Small to Big

D．Toy Companies：Never Too Late to Create

People who often eat nuts appear to live longer，according to the latest study of its kind.The findings，published in the New England Journal of Medicine，suggested the greatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.

Eating nuts was linked to a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise.The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link，“While this is an interesting link，we need further research to make sure if it’s the nuts that protect heart health，or other sides of people’s lifestyle.”

The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years.The more regularly people ate nuts，the less likely they were to die during the study.People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts.Lead researcher Dr.Charles Fuchs，from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital，said，“The most obvious benefit was a decrease of 29%in deaths from heart disease，but we also saw a significant reduction—11%—in the danger of dying from cancer.”

They suggest nuts are lowering cholesterol(胆固醇) and insulin resistance(胰岛素抗性)．Nuts contain unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪)，protein and several kinds of vitamins and minerals and they can take the place of snacks like chocolate bars，cakes and biscuits.

Victoria Taylor，senior expert at the British Heart Foundation，said，“This study shows close connection between regularly eating a small handful of nuts and a lower risk of death from heart disease.” Choosing plain，unsalted foods rather than sweet，salted，or chocolate-covered will keep your salt and sugar intake down.

8．According to the passage，what kind of people benefit most from eating nuts?

B．Those who eat most nuts.

C．Those who eat nuts on their daily diet.

11．Which section should the passage be taken from the newspaper?

A．Science section.

B．Health section.

C．Entertainment section.

D．Tech section.

The attitude of the wolf can be summed up simply：It is a constant dream of success.The collective wisdom of wolves has been progressively programmed into their genetic make-up throughout the centuries.Wolves have mastered the technique of focusing their energies on the activities that will lead to the achievement of their goals.

Wolves do not aimlessly run around their intended victims.They have a strategic(战略上的) plan and perform it through constant communication.When the moment of truth arrives，each understands his role and understands exactly what the pack(狼群) expects of him.

The wolf does not depend on luck.The teamwork and training of the pack determines whether the pack lives or dies.

There is a silly idea in some organizations that everyone，to be a valuable member，must want to be the leader.This is personified by the CEO who says he only hires people who say they want to take his job.Clearly，this is supposed to make sure that the person has ambition，courage，honesty and drive.In reality，it sends warnings of competition throughout the organization rather than signals of cooperation，teamwork and loyalty.

Everyone does not struggle to be the leader in the wolf pack.Some are best hunters or caregivers or jokesters，but each seems to gravitate(被吸引) to the role he does best.This is not to say there are not challenges to authority，position or status—there are.But each wolf’s role begins coming from playtime as a pup and refines himself through the rest of his years.The wolf’s attitude is always based upon the question，“What is best for the pack？” This is in contrary to us humans，who will often damage our organizations，families or businesses，if we do not get what we want.

Because of training，preparation，planning，communication and a preference for action，the wolf’s expectation is always to be victorious.While in actuality this is true only 10 percent of the time or less，the wolf’s attitude is always that success will come—and it does.

12．What does the underlined phrase “the moment of truth” refer to?

A．The time when wolves have a rest.

B．The time when wolves compete with each other.

C．The time when wolves catch their intended victims.

D．The time when wolves share their food.

13．According to the author，a wolf         .

A．knows how to work together with others

B．competes with other members fiercely

C．is ready to act all by himself

D．leaves his group if failing to get what he wants

14．What should everyone in a group do in the author’s opinion?

A．Have a desire to be the leader.

B．Find where he plays a role best.

C．Avoid challenging authority.

D．Think of what is best for himself.

15．What might be the best title for the text?

A．Types of Wolves   B．Cruelty of Wolves

C．Wisdom of Wolves   D．Choice of Wolves

Have you ever been bored and decided to check social media，only to find out that your best friend is at Disneyland，that one of your classmates is eating delicious pizza at your favorite pizza store，and that one of your soccer teammates is climbing the Eiffel Tower in Paris？Have you ever had that feeling that others are experiencing things and enjoying life more than you are？Oh，man！You’re missing out！  1   Researchers call that feeling the fear of missing out or FoMO.

  2   It’s so easy today to see what your friends are doing from the social media. Unluckily，we only have so much time in the day and only so much money to spend on food or entertainment.It would be impossible for us to enjoy all the same activities we see others take part in on social media.

Rather than realizing this basic truth，though，we usually let FoMO lead us to compare our lives with those of others on social media.  3   Why？We know all the sides of our lives—both good and bad，but all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share.

  4   FoMO makes us check social media more frequently，leading to addiction and a negative cycle that can be hard to break.Researchers have found that social media and FoMO can cause serious negative results，including feelings of depression，loneliness and boredom.

  5   Researchers advise that we stop looking to social media for happiness.Instead，we should focus our attention on our real lives，including the people around us and all the things we’re grateful for.

A．Have you ever experienced FoMO?

B．At least that’s what you might think.

C．This certainly leaves us feeling dissatisfied.

D．So how do we break the cycle and avoid FoMO?

E．Over 75% of young people report feeling FoMO from time to time.

F．As famous Theodore Roosevelt said，“Comparison is the thief of joy”．

G．If you let FoMO control you，the only thing you’ll really be missing out on is your own life.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Though it is one of the faded memories of my life today，there are times when I remember his face clearly，especially his eyes.As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty.He would have been a stray(流浪的) dog，until he came to me.

I was seven years old.My dad had just got a new job in Nasik.We had moved into a rented house.It was raining very heavily on the day we moved.

It was a cold dark night.We had our meal and went to sleep.Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door.I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amazed at what I saw outside.

There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door.It was wet and trembling.At first it was difficult to see the little one.It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence.

It was trying to get  under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat.Was it sick or injured?

I felt pity for the poor soul.I went in and came out with an old towel.I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he became dry.I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow.He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately.

The next morning，everyone in the family came to know about the unusual guest.“Shall we keep him with us？” I questioned my mom.

Like any other parents would，my parents first totally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty.

Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family members.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

One day，Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.   　　　　            

Almost a year later，one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.
