第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節，滿分40分）

第一節（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

A

Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson had to pay $1，500 to have “Happy Birthday to You” sung in the movie shes making. The money went to Warner Music Group， a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song， a TV show， a book， or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.

“I never thought the song was owned by anyone，” Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”

Nelsons movie is a documentary—a film that uses pictures or interviews with people to create a factual report of real-life events—and is actually about the history of the “Happy Birthday” song itself.

Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time， people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters song.

A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the “Happy Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song， but they believe it was being sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.

Nelsons lawyers say this piece of musics history proves that “Happy Birthday to You” belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee （費） to sing the song in any setting.

Experts estimate （估計） that Warner/Chappell， the publishing division of the Warner Music Group， has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.”

Nelsons lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.

21. Why did Jennifer Nelson have to pay Warner Music Group？

A. To have it write a song for her movie. B. To have it play a song in her movie.

C. To have a song sung in her movie. D. To own the copyright on a song.

22. What can be proved by the history experts statement about the “Happy Birthday” song？

A. It has always been very popular. B. It has a history more than 200 years.

C. It does not belong to Warner Music Group. D. It was owned by another company at first.

23. According to Nelsons lawyers， to sing the “Happy Birthday” song， people ____ .

A. should pay the Hill sisters B. neednt pay for any purpose

C. should pay Warner Music Group D. neednt pay except for business use

24. If the court supports Nelsons lawyers claim， ____ .

A. Warner will return about $8 million B. she can get the copyright on the song

C. Warner will have to pay her for her damages D. she only needs to pay a little money to use the song

B

Tabb doesnt look like a typical music teacher. But every weekday evening in the French Quarter New Orleans， he beats out the rhythm on his music stand as students play their chosen instruments.

“Im doing my best to take young people away from harmful things，” said Tabb. His program， “The Roots of Music”， offers free music education to more than 100 students. He struggles to keep young people on the straight and narrow in the city with the nations highest murder rate.

Tabb chose to target 9-to-14-year-olds with his program. “Thats a very important time in your life，” he said. “If I catch them then， I can hold onto them for at least four or five years and guide them the way that will lead them to success.”

Students meet from 4 pm to 7 pm every weekday， all year round. They work with tutors on schoolwork， practice their music and eat a hot meal before heading home. With the money provided by some people， Tabbs group is able to provide bus transportation， instruments and food for free. He calls it his “no excuse” policy. “You have no excuse why youre not here，” Tabb said. Tabb owes the success in part to the nature of music. “Youre always learning something new，” he said. “Thats what keeps the kids coming back every day.”

But the program isnt only about fun. “Music is about discipline，” said Tabb. He insists on good behavior and keeps kids in order with threats of sit-ups， pushups or tasks like picking up grains of rice—but these measures arent just punishment. Tabb wants young people to realize that music can help them build a better future. “I dont say that Im saving lives，” he said. “I say Im giving life—a whole different life of music.”

25. The underlined phrase “keep young people on the straight and narrow” in Paragraph 2 means “keep young people

____”.

C. The free food and transportation. D. The chance to learn new things.

27. What does Tabb mean by saying “Music is about discipline”？

A. Keeping discipline is more important than learning music.

B. Obeying rules is important in playing music well.

C. Kids can learn how to behave through music.

D. Music is also connected with kids grades.

28. What does the passage mainly talk about？

C. Tabb offers kids free food to learn music. D. Tabb performs music for street children.

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning， a middle， and an end with commercials （商業廣告） thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep， which is equal to turning the television set off， you are spared by the unending cry of “You Need It！ Buy It Now！”

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting， even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed： new houses， new buildings， sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （魯莽的） or daring， the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense （懸疑） story. Will the driver pass the truck in time？ Will the driver move into the right- or left-hand road？ After a while， of course， the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat， of course， has become harder as the hours have passed. By now youve sat with your legs crossed， with your hands in your lap， with your hands on the armrests or even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.

29. What can be seen all the way along a bus trip according to Paragraph 1？

A. Gas stations. B. Buses on the road.

C. Films on television. D. Advertisements on the billboards.

30. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are ____ .

A. comfortable B. exciting C. tiring D. boring

31. What would the writer probably favor？

A. Bus drivers who arent reckless. B. No billboards along the road.

C. No television set on the bus. D. Driving alone.

32. What is the purpose of writing this passage？

A. To persuade you to take a long bus trip. B. To describe the billboards along the road.

C. To give the writers opinion about long bus trips. D. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.

D

What will people die of 100 years from now？ If you think that is a simple question， you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology. With the help of new medicine， the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents， murder and wars. Todays leading killers， such as heart disease， cancer， and aging itself， will become distant memories.

In discussion of technological changes， the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live？ Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things， and until recently， scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells， such as those of brain cells， would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100， medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so， people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs （器官） （The medicine， made up of the basic building materials of life， will build new brain cells， heart cells， and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.）

It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence， but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.

33. According to Paragraph 1， human death is now mainly caused by ____ .

A. diseases and aging B. accidents and wars

C. accidents and aging D. heart diseases and wars

34. Why may humans live longer in the future？

A. Diseases will be far away from us. B. Human brains can decide the final death.

C. The basic materials of cells will last forever. D. Human organs can be repaired by new medicine.

35. What can we learn from the passage？

A. Human life cant last more than 120 years in the future.

B. Humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells now.

C. Much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life.

D. The technical problems have already been solved in building new cells.

36 Many schools have attempted to find ways for parents to participate in school management by setting up parent councils for parents to volunteer. However， while these may be important for developing a sense of community and parental ownership of the school and its issues， such activities do not translate directly to students achievement.

37 Simply asking the question， “So， what did you do in school today？” can start a discussion between parent and child about topics studied in class. Even talks at home about less classroom-specific topics that interest the student are shown to be important to raising student achievement. 38 Teachers can provide students with interesting ideas for starting school-related conversations at home. 39

The schools focus should be on how to enable parents and their children to have such meaningful conversations about the topics and ideas flowing from the classroom. 40 Finding ways to promote （促進） direct parent participation in their childrens lives at school and at home will have a much greater influence.

A. Some parents expect too much of their children.

B. Starting a parent council may not be the first option.

C. Self-education plays an important role in childrens development.

D. Teenagers can have rich and interesting conversations if encouraged.

E. Another way for parents to be more active in their childrens education is effective.

F. Nowadays， there is a growing recognition that parental involvement is one key to student achievement.

G. Telling children that school is valuable is a lot less effective than showing them it by being involved in what they are doing there.
