27、rchers conclude in Science, the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species, but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain, and is far more ancient than previously suspected. In the articles that discuss the field of bio- musicology, the study of the biolog
28、ical basis for the creation and appreciation of music, researchers present various evidence to show that music- making is at once an original human “business”, and an art from with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom. The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom
29、, and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound. Recent in- depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds an
30、d beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere. For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of simil
31、ar length- a few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves （八度音阶） , yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals, rather than moving forwards madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio（比例） which agrees with that hear
32、d in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so- called A- B- A form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form. 高中英语 必修第二册 6 / 20 Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme. “This suggests tha
33、t whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material,” the researchers write. 28. The underlined phrase “converge on” in Paragraph 3 probably means _. A. tend towards B. refer to C. turn into D. put forward 29. Which of the following shows the advan
34、ced musical ability in humpback whales? A. They can remember complex material. B. They can create pleasing patterns of music. C. They can make sounds like drums continuously. D.

36、nd explain C. compare and advertise D. examine and assess D No one is sure where and when the expression “applepie order” began. Its said that the housewives of New England liked to cut their apples in pieces. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organised way, row upon row. As one writer said,
37、 the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it is generally believed that “applepie order” began in New England. Another old expression, “apple of discord”, comes from ancient myth （神话） , however. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitti
38、ng around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses Eris was a troublemaker. She threw a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. It was not an easy decision to make. How could they choose among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite? P
39、aris was given the task of deciding. He decided to give the golden apple to Aphrodite. Hera and Athena were very angry and threatened him. This, the myth says, began the long Trojan War. At one time, the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. In the sixteenth century, Spain brought the
40、tomato from South America. Spain then sold the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was “pomo di Moro” apple of the Moors. When French growers brought it in from Italy, they thought “di Moro” meant “damour” the French word for love. And so “ pomo
41、 di Moro” became the apple of love. People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great power of keeping people healthy. A 高中英语 必修第二册 7 / 20 very common expression is “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Another belief is based on fact. The expression is “One rotten apple
42、spoils the barrel.” When an apple begins to go bad, it ruins all the other apples around it in the box. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act badly. 32. Which of the following is TRUE about the phrase “applepie order”? A. It began in New England. B.
43、 Nobodys sure where and when it began. C. Everyone is sure where it began. D. It has been put into use recently. 33. Whats the meaning of “apple of discord”? A. Cause of disagreement. B.

44、paragraph? A. To show us a mistaken idea. B. To tell us a love story about apple. C. To explain how the tomato was called the apple of love. D. To show how the tomato was brought in from South America. 35. Which of the following expressions is about health? A. Apple of discord. B. Applepie order. C.
45、 One rotten apple spoils the barrel. D. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whats apartheid（种族隔离制度种族隔离制度）? Apartheid forced white and non- white people to live in separate areas. Non- white people meant black people, people
46、 from Asia and people of mixed race. A white person and a black person could not marry. 36 Black children and white children went to different schools. Sports teams were all- white or all- black, never mixed. Mandela made a stand. Mandela and Oliver Tambo set up South Africas first black law firm. 3
47、7 Mandela led young people in the ANC. Many white people, as well as black people, spoke out against apartheid. Mandela admired Gandhi, who had used peaceful protest in India. Perhaps peaceful protest could get rid of apartheid, without fighting. But to speak out was dangerous. 38 After a trial（审判）
48、lasting five years, he was set free in 1961. 39 高中英语 必修第二册 8 / 20 In 1960, people held a demonstration against apartheid at Sharpeville, near Johannesburg. 69 black people were shot dead by the police. The government blamed the ANC, and banned it. Then Mandela became leader of a secret army, known a
49、s Umkhonto we Sizwe or “ Spear of the Nation”. He was hunted by the police, and had to hide. He travelled to other countries to ask for help. Mandela went to jail.

Poor people came to them for help. C. But still the gove
