Although television and cinema influence our society, big opera houses around the world continue to sell out every night. Here are three of the most important
29、 opera houses in the world.Metropolitan Opera House Founded in 1883, the Metropolitan Opera House is the greatest opera house in the world today. With close to 4,000 seats, it is not only one of the biggest, but also one of the most beautiful theatre buildings, only hiring the best of the best direc

31、oom and inviting guests from Vienna and around the world. Most of the structure was destroyed during the Second World War. Today, the Vienna State Opera House offers great acoustics(音响效果), wheel chair access, air conditioning and heating, with 40 productions of opera, ballet and concerts per season.

It is also one of the most famous performing art venues(场馆) in the w
33、orld. With over 3,000 events each year and an annual audience of two million people, Sydney Opera House offers the broadest artistic range in one building. With several restaurants and bars, as well as various gift shops, one could spend a whole day in the theatre without even watching a performance

36、ouseD. Royal Opera HouseB Research proves that nearly half of the cancers diagnosed(诊断) in the UK each yearover 130,000 in total are caused by life choices that include smoking, drinking and eating the wrong things. Tobacco is the biggest factor, causing 23% for cases in men and 15.6% in women, says
37、 the Cancer Research UK report. Next comes a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in mens diets, while for women it is being overweight. Lead author of the report, Professor Max Parkin, said: “Many people believe cancer is related to fate or in the genes(基因), and that it depends on luck whether they g
38、et it or not. Looking at all the evidence, it is clear that around 40% of all cancers are caused by things we mostly have the power to change.” For men, the best advice appears to be: stop smoking, eat more fruit and vegetables and cut down on how much alcohol you drink. For women, again, the best a
39、dvice is to stop smoking, but also watch your weight. In total, 14 lifestyle and environmental factors, such as where you live and the job you do, cause 134,000 cancers in the UK each year. Some risk factors are well founded, such as smokings link with lung cancer. But others are less well recognize
40、d. For stomach cancer, a fifth of the risk comes from having too much salt in the diet, data suggests. Some cancers, like mouth and throat cancer, are caused almost entirely by lifestyle choices. But others, like gall bladder cancer(胆囊癌), are largely unrelated to lifestyle. Public Health Minister, A
41、nne Milton, said: “By making small changes you can cut your risk of serious health problems giving up smoking, watching you drink, getting more exercise and keeping an eye on your weight.”64. What does the underlined word “it”, in the second paragraph, refer to?A. Change.B. Lifestyle.C. Cancer.D. We
42、ight.65.According to Professor Parkin, _.A. cancers are caused due to genetic reasonsB. some cancers may be avoided accordinglyC. most cancers are caused for no reasonD. men can keep an eye on their weight to avoid cancers66.According to this passage, stomach cancer can be brought on by _.A. working
43、 overtimeB. taking in too much saltC. lack of exerciseD. smoking too much67.Which of the following can be learnt from this passage?A. Smoking is the only cause of lung cancer.B. About 134,000 people die of cancer in the UK each year.C. Some cancers may not be caused by lifestyle choices.D. Drinking
44、a small amount of wine is good for health.CGraduation speeches are a bit like wedding toasts(致辞). A few are memorable. The rest tend to bring such thoughts as, Why did I wear such uncomfortable shoes?But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger. Every year a few colleges and
45、 universities in the US attract attention because theyve managed to book high-profile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers wise remarks.Last month, the following words of wisdom were spread:You really havent completed the circle of success unless you can help somebody e
46、lse move forward. (Oprah Winfrey, Duke University).There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together. (Hillary Clinton, New York University).This really is your moment. History is yours to bend. (Joe Biden, Wake Forest Un
47、iversity).Of course, the real get of the graduation season was first lady Michelle Obamas appearance at the University of California, Merced. Remember that you are blessed, she told the class of 2009, Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you must give something back. As advocate and activi
48、st Marian Wright Edelman says, Service is the rent we pay for living . it is the true measure, the only measure of success.Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs address at Stanford University in 2005, in which he talked about death, is also considered one of the best in recent memory.But when youre sitting
49、in the hot sun, fidgety(烦躁的) and losing your nerves, do you really want to be lectured about the big stuff? Isnt that like trying to maintain a smile at your wedding reception while some relative gives a toast that amounts to marriage is hard work? You know hes right; you just dont want to think abo
50、ut it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you cant really manage to think beyond the blisters(水泡) your new shoes are causing.That may seem anticlimactic（扫兴的）. But it also gets to the heart of one of lifes greatest, saddest truths: that our most memorable oc
51、casions may recall the fewest memories. Its probably not something most graduation speakers would say, but its one of the first lessons of growing up.68. According to the passage, most graduation speeches tend to recall _ memories.A. greatB. unimportantC. unforgettableD. unimaginative69. The graduat
52、ion speeches mentioned in the passage are related to the following themes EXCEPT_.A. deathB. successC. serviceD. generosity70. It is implied in the passage that at great moments people fail to_.A. remain clear-headedB. keep good mannersC. remember others wordsD. recollect specific details71. What is
53、 one of the first lessons of growing up?A. Attending a graduation ceremony.B. Listening to graduation speeches.C. Forgetting details of memorable events.D. Meeting high-profile graduation speakers.DChildrens future writing difficulties can be identified before they even learn how to begin writing, a
54、ccording to a new study by Professor Phaedra Royle and Postdoctoral fellow Alexandra Marquis of the University of Montreals School of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology. The researchers are interested in oral language skills and their impact on grammar and spelling learning. Their work shows th
55、at oral language is a good predictor of writing difficulties. The more children are able to use verb tense in spoken language, the more easily they can learn written language, explained Professor Royle. 71 children aged six to nine years participated in Marquis and Royles study on the relationship b
56、etween oral and written language skills. Of these children, 38 spoke only French and 33 could speak several languages, with French being their second or third language. All attended French-language schools. They were first evaluated(评估) in first grade, by having their oral ability in verb conjugatio
57、n(结合) measured. Then, at the end of second grade, the childrens written skills were tested.Results of Royle and Marquis study indicate that first grade oral skills were predictive of second grade writing skills one year later. More specifically, the ability to understand the rules of word formation
58、and modify the parts of words in spoken language can predict possible spelling and grammar difficulties in written language. Morphemes(词素) refer to the individual pieces of a word, that have meaning. For example, the two morphemes dog and -s in dogs mean more than one dog. Our findings also show tha
59、t children who only speak French have an advantage in terms of spoken language because they constantly use French. But in terms of written language, the two groups showed no significant differences.This is the first study in French in which childrens abilities to form words and sentences were measur
60、ed before they were able to write. Language difficulties must be identified early in school to develop appropriate teaching methods,” Marquis said.Babies are sensitive to speech sounds at an early age, she explained. They can even recognize verb endings at 11 months! Few studies have focused on pre-
61、school childrens sensitivity to the structure of oral language and its predictive nature for written language.72. The writing difficulties of children in the future _.A. can be an indicator of their speaking barrierB. can only be identified after they can writeC. can be predicted by their oral langu
62、ageD. can be easily corrected if paid attention to73. Children that participated in the research _.A. knew the link between oral and written languageB. all spoke French as a second languageC. were tested both in oral and written languageD. improved their writing at the end of the second grade74. Whi
63、ch of the children group had an advantage in spoken language in the study?A. children who spoke only one languageB. children who spoke several languagesC. children who knew what a morpheme wasD. children who were sensitive to writing75. What is the purpose of the research?A. To understand childrens
64、speaking better.B. To develop more effective teaching methods.C. To help children recognize verb endings earlier.D. Too improve pre-school childrens sensitivity to speech.第II卷（共40分）五 任务型阅读（10分，每小题1分）Rainforests are valuable habitats. About half of all the species of animals and plants in the world l
