Some people value it highly. They believe that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity (繁华). Others say that competition is terrible. They think it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth depended on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. When they try their best to pursue（追求）the success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, there are some who seem to have lost the wish to succeed. They take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they really hate competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe that there is a wish to fail in them. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” They are not usually willing to believe that if they had really tried but lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect depends on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. We cant discover a new meaning in competition until this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear.53. Why do some people think competition is bad?A. Because they think it is helpless to make social progress.B. Because they think it cant bring friendly relationship between people.C. Because they think it is a life-and-death affair.D. Because they think it cant develop human qualities.54. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _.A. people who try their best to winB. people who value competition most highly C. people who are against competition most strongly D. people who are afraid of failure in competition55. The writer wants to tell us that _.A. competition should be valued highlyB. ones self-respect is important in competitionC. the wish to succeed is important in competition D. fear of failure should be driven out in competitionD Are you listening to pop songs but not learning to play a musical instrument?musical instrumentsThe idea of practicing the piano or violin every day under your parents watchful eyes is bad enough, not to mention all the playtime youll lose. But you would change your mind if you knew that musical training could make you smarter, especially if you start young, according to The New York Times. In fact, the study of the benefits of music has been going on for years. Back in 1993, Nature magazine reported an experiment showing that college students who listened to 10 minutes of Mozart music before taking an IQ test scored better. This is whats now known as the “Mozart effect”.Although scientists later found that it wasnt IQ that had been improved, temporary（短时旳）reasoning ability, this study still got them thinkingif simply listening to music can bring good effects, what would actually playing an instrument do to brain development?Now researchers at Northwestern University, US, have got the answer. They studied a group of college studentssome of them had received musical training in their school years while others had not. Looking at their brain waves, researchers discovered that they acted differently when hearing complex sounds those who had learned music before were better at picking out single pitches（音高）from a noisy background. And this was true even if the lessons had ended years ago.This ability to single out certain sounds is connected to language-based learning. For example, reading. “To learn to read, you need to have good working memory, the ability to recognize speech sounds, make sound-to-meaning connections,” professor Nina Kraus from Northern University told the New York Times. “Each one of these things really seems to be strengthened when playing a musical instrument.”But the researchers also said that there is no one best way to apply these findings. Different instruments, different teaching methods, different schedulesparents need to find what works best for the child, and children should try to enjoy themselves and their lessons. After all, music is about pleasure instead of being a tool.57. Which of the following statements is true?A. Listening to Mozarts music can improve ones IQ.B. Playing a musical instrument is painful and a waste of time.C. Musical training at a young age can be a great advantage. D. Students who can play musical instruments are better at reasoning.58. According to the article, playing a musical instrument cant strengthen _.A. a good working memory B. the ability to make single pitchesC. the ability to recognize different speech soundsD. the ability to connect different sounds with their meaning59. We can infer from this article that _.A. scientists think there must be pleasure in musicB. parents usually know what is the best for their childrenC. scientists will find a best teaching method for musical trainingD. children should learn to play musical instruments as early as possible60. The article is mainly about _.A. the longtime benefits of early music lessonsB. the connection between musical training and reading C. the effects of musical training on the development of human brainD. different teaching methods and schedules on playing musical instruments七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后旳五个选项中选出能填入空白处旳最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每题2分）barcodesHave you ever noticed the black and white bars on a book? Do you know what they are used for? They are barcodes used in most products. If you go to a supermarket, you can see almost every product with a barcode on it. 60 , such as name and production date. Its an easy and convenient way to keep track of the products. 61 . The first use of a barcode in a supermarket checkout system was on a pack of American Wrigley Company chewing gum in 1974. Besides supermarkets, barcodes are needed everywhere: For renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcels (包裹) you send. People can enter stadiums, cinemas and theaters by holding certain types of barcodes. 62 .If you find these barcode things boring, a barcode building might be more up your street. In St Petersburg, Russia, there is a building designed like a barcode. It looks strange, but its actually a shopping
