第一节（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
A year ago, at the annual pre-Grammy party, Whitney Houston, the great star, walked on stage and closed the evening with a brilliant performance．
Last Saturday, Houston was once again the focus before the Grammy, but her presence was a regrettable one．Earlier that day, the pop music's former queen was found dead in her hotel room．She was 48．This, no doubt, is sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the world．
At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music world．From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world's best-selling artists．She impressed audiences with her effortless, powerful and peerless performance．
Besides multi-million record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Have Nothing , and the mostly famous I Will Always Love You．She also influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey．
But by the end of her career, there was a shocking fall for this superstar．Houston had been addicted to drugs．Her album sales declined and the hits stopped coming and her once beautiful voice became hoarse （嘶哑的）, unable to hit the high notes as she used to．
In 2009, Houston staged a successful comeback with the album I Look To You, which fell on top of the charts．But hoarse voice, canceled concerts, and continuous illness—Houston's comeback trail wasn't smooth at all．In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2009, Houston admitted: "It （show business） is too much for me and I wanted out．"
Now that Houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos, may she rest in peace．
56．Whitney Houston died ．
A．shortly before the Grammy this year B．earlier last Sunday
C．a year ago D．at the annual pre-Grammy party
57．The underlined word "peerless" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______．
A．having great power B．having no equal
C．requiring no effort D．leaving no impression
58．The cause of the fall of Whitney Houston was that _____ ．
A．her album sales declined
B．show business was too much for her
C．her once beautiful voice became hoarse
D．she had been addicted to drugs
59．Whitney Houston's achievements include the following except that ．
A．She made countless hits such as I Have Nothing
B．She influenced a generation of younger singers
C．She became the focus before the Grammy this year
D．She staged a successful comeback in 2009

Research has long backed the therapeutic （治疗的） value of diary-keeping for teenage girls and boys．But according to a new study, when teenagers detail their sadness onto a blog, the therapeutic value is even greater．Blogging, it seems, can be good for you．
The study, published in the journal Psychological Services and conducted by Meyran Boniel-Nissim and Azy Barak, psychology professors at the University of Haifa, Israel, found the contact with an online community through a blog made it more effective in relieving the writer’s social anxiety than a private diary would be．
To track teenagers’ experiences with blogging, the researchers randomly surveyed high school students in Israel and selected 161 of them who exhibited some level of social anxiety or stress．The teenagers, who averaged 15 years old, said they had difficulty making new friends or relating to their existing friends．
The teenagers were divided into six groups．The first two groups were asked to blog about their social difficulties, with one group asked to open their posts to comments．The second two groups were asked to blog about whatever struck their adolescent fancy; again, with one group allowing comments．All four groups were told to write in their blogs at least twice a week．As a control, two more groups were told to keep either an old-fashioned print diary or to do nothing at all．
All of their blog records were then read through by four psychologists to determine the authors’ relative social and emotional state．In all the groups, the greatest improvement in mood occurred among those bloggers who wrote about their problems and allowed commenters to respond．
Interestingly, the commenters on the blogs were quite supportive．“The only kind of surprise we had was that almost all comments made by readers were very positive and constructive in trying to offer support for anxious bloggers,” Dr．Barak wrote in an e-mail．
60．Compared with the traditional diary, the main advantage of blogging is that ．
A．you can write almost anything in a blog
B．you can make complaints in a blog
C．you can keep in touch with others through your blog
D．you can improve your emotional state through your blog
61．The researchers surveyed the students in Israel in order to ．
A．make us believe that blogging is a must for teenagers
B．prove blogging is more effective in solving teens’ emotional problems
C．find out their social and emotional state and help them out
D．check if blogging can help improve teens’ emotional state
62．In the most improved group, the bloggers ．
A．wrote at most twice a week
B．told others whatever they wanted about themselves
C．communicated with readers about their troubles
D．made their social difficulties known to researchers only
63．The main idea of the last paragraph is that bloggers can ．
A．support anything they like
B．make new friends with anyone
C．turn to the psychology experts for help
D．receive beneficial messages from readers
C
Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops．New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize．
Kristy vanMarle, professor of the University of Missouri, has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown, infants are able to quantify substances（物质）—like sand or water—as early as 10 months．As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough, infants will choose the larger amount, especially when it comes to food．
With the assistance of her team researchers, vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups: one containing a small amount of food, and one containing a larger amount．Consistently, the babies chose the larger amount．
“Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see; however, infants don’t seem to count things like water or sand,” vanMarle said．“What we’re saying is that they can quantify substances; it’s just much harder．The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories．They decide which amount is larger, and they almost always select the larger one．”
“This information further refutes（驳斥）the long-held idea that babies “know nothing of the world,” vanMarle said．
