A
Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl。 She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band. But one big obstacle lay in her way。 To be good enough to play in a band， Brenda had to practice a lot， but she lived next—door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick。 She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So， she had tried playing in the strangest places： a basement， a kitchen， and even in a shower。 But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there’s no air。 At that moment， Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside。 All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine， and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn’t long before Brenda Bongos came very famous。 Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts。 Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band。
Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this， she thought for a moment, and said： ’’If those old people next – door hadn’t mattered so much to me， I wouldn’t have found a solution， and none of this would have ever happened。'’
51。 Brenda started to give concerts _______ 。
A. after she practiced in her space bubble
B。 when she became part of the unique space journey

53. Which of the following can be used to describe Brenda?
A。 kind, hardworking and clever
B。 brave， kind and hardworking
C. lovely, brave and kind
D。 nervous, kind and clever
54. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that: ” _______”。

When we say older people shrink, we don't mean they become tiny enough to fit in your pocket! We just mean that it’s common for older people to become a little shorter over time. This kind of shrinking can’t be reversed, although people can slow or stop this process。 But why does shrinking happen at all？
Because of gravity (that force that keeps your feet on the ground) , cushions between the bones in the spine （脊骨）, get compressed(压缩， which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.
Another reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis (骨质疏松)。 Osteoporosis occurs when bone is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. Over time, bone is said to be lost because it’s not being replaced. Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured。
Older people — especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with — are more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis can get small breaks in bones that are called compression fractures. These breaks cause collapse of the spine and over time the person with osteoporosis can become hunched over (驼背)。
Did you know that every day you shrink a little, too? You aren’t as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning。 That’s because as the day goes on, water in the disks of the spine gets compressed due to gravity， making you just a tiny bit shorter。 Don't worry, though。 Once you get a good night’s rest， your body recovers, and the next morning， you're standing tall again!
Smoking and drinking alcohol can make this problem worse. Want to do something right now to build strong bones? I believe what I will say will help you.
55。 Which of the following statements is true？
A。 For shrinking, people can do nothing about it。
B. If someone is injured, he will become shorter.
C。 Women have smaller and lighter bones than men.
D。 We aren’t as tall at the end of the day as we are at the beginning.
56。 What should we do if we don't want to shrink faster？
A. We should try to reduce gravity.
B. We should be careful not to be hurt by others.
C. We should sleep as long as possible。
D。 We should keep away from smoking and drinking alcohol。
57。 What is the topic of the passage？
A. How can we stop shrinking? B。 Why do we shrink?
C. Some tips on how to keep tall。 D. How to live a healthy life.
58. What will the author talk about in the paragraph to be followed？
A。 Tell us how to grow taller。
B。 Tell us how to become healthier.
C。 Tell us how to avoid being shrinking。
D. Tell us what to do to have strong bones。

C
Going on a date can be a nightmare for the best of us。 But now a pair of ’social X—Ray’ glasses promises to tell you exactly what the other person is thinking—and when you should stop talking.
The glasses have a built-in camera which monitors the other person's facial expressions and matches them up with 24 known features which convey emotions. It will then tell the individual via an earpiece and lights on the glasses what their date is thinking。 In a traffic light-style system, a red light means negative， yellow means they are a bit interested and green means your date is happy. The glasses are under development at present by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab。文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络
They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an extra sense that they are bored or losing interest.
The eyewear was developed for people suffering from autism(孤独症）who have much difficulty interacting with others, but now the team behind it has seen wider applications。 It works thanks to a camera the size of a grain of rice which is put into the glasses frame and connected via a wire to a small computer which can be attached to the user's body。 The camera monitors how long and how often 24 ’feature points' appear on the subject’s faces which are then analyzed by software developed by the MIT team.文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络
This data is then compared with a bank of expressions and the computer tells the wearer what is going on via the earpiece and the traffic light system.
So far the glasses are still a job in progress and have been accurate just 64 per cent of the time, a figure which is expected to improve with further tests。
59。 Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A。 The glasses were initially intended for helping people going on a date。
B。 The glasses are widely used and have achieved great success.
C. The built-in camera in the glasses is of great importance。
D。 People wearing the glasses are sure to have a good date.

A。 communicating B. reacting C. affecting D。 acting
61。 Which is right according to Paragraph 2 ？
A. Red = negative yellow = neutral green = positive
B. Red = positive yellow = neutral green = negative
