Everybody is familiar with Christmas music; it’s played everywhere. Whether it’s the music from a grocery store or random (随机的) songs on the radio, holiday music remains to flood in the air from the day after Thanksgiving to the beginning of December. Christmas music gets extremely over-played through the Holiday season. “I think the common seasonal Christmas music is annoying because it keeps being played over and over,” said junior Devin McFarland.
The Christmas music still played today is what she heard in her childhood. Some famous Christmas songs have never been changed. The original music is played so much that in some cases people dream about or even sing Christmas music in their sleep. She wishes that there was a wider variety of songs. She likes the newer Christmas songs that bands either remake or write themselves. “They have a fresher sound to Christmas songs, and they add their own characteristics to them so that they are more like their own songs,” McFarland explained.
Christmas is known as a happy and homecoming festival, so the holiday season is meant to be spent happily with your family. It is recognized that the music media wants to get the point across and add to the festival atmosphere. But isn’t the music being pushed to the public too much?
Most grocery stores play the music non-stop, Christmas song after Christmas song, disgusting the customers who don’t like that kind of music. You can walk through stores and attempt turning off the music, but sometimes it’s impossible to do so. On the other hand, almost everyone has witnessed random persons walking along happily and either singing or whistling to the tune of the song that’s played throughout the store.
56. Why does Devin think common seasonal Christmas music is annoying?
A. Because the music is played at random.
B. Because it has become more commercial.
C. Because the music is played too much.
D. Because everyone is familiar with Christmas.
57. According to the writer, Christmas music or songs need_______.
A. reforming B. repeating C. replaying D. reserving
58. The music media hope to inform the public of the idea that_____.
A. Christmas should be celebrated with family happily
B. Christmas songs should be more traditional
C. Christmas music should be pushed to the public
D. Christmas music and songs attract more customers
59. What is the passage mainly about?
A. People love to listen to original Christmas music.
B. Everybody has been tired of Christmas songs and music.
C. Christmas music can bring more happiness to the public.
D. Christmas music is calling for changes and updating.

With the level of high school education increasing, the expectations for high school athletes are directly affected. Most high school athletes are faced with high stress levels due to the rising expectations of sports teams. As a result many of them are trying their best to prepare themselves to be varsity (大学生运动队）athletes but also feel the pressure to be good students as well.
In our society, more and more parents are pushing their kids to be their best and want them to possess more and better than what they had. However, sometimes the pressure from parents, students and fellow teammates can be a little too much for them. Colleges now are looking to accept not only good students but socially well-rounded students too. How are they supposed to be able to be socially popular? How can they balance school work and sports practices? Don’t you think it is too much for them?
Everyone wants to have a personal life and does what they like to. But actually, they are always caught up in trying to be the “best”, and planning ahead for their future. Therefore, many teens have to struggle both at school and outside of school. To become varsity athletes, most teens are required to stay very late in the school. In this way it leaves very few hours to eat, shower, do homework and then get to sleep and the next day they have to wake up early again.
Sports seem to become more and more competitive every year, just as academics do as well. At some point, teens will start to suffer greatly. So in order to fix this, the school needs to care more about the students participating in sports. In other words, varsity athletes should have the right to rearrange their schedule due to their sports season and sports coaches should also understand the teens. When an athlete asks to leave early, it doesn’t mean that they want to give up, but rather, they are trying to keep up with everything.
64. Which of the following most probably makes high school athletes stressed?
A. Struggling to satisfy high expectations.
B. Increasing number of high school athletes.
C. Rising pressure from excellent students.
D. Growing desire to become star athletes.
65. More and more parents are expecting their kids to_____.
A. be socially well-rounded B. try their best to achieve more
C. catch up with their peers D. make a big fortune in sports
66. To become a varsity athlete, one would have to_____.
A. have his personal life B. do what he likes to
C. wake up early often D. stand a tight schedule
67. What might be the author's attitude towards the high school athletes? _____.
A. Sympathetic B. Doubtful C. Unconcerned D. Ambiguous
D
The effect of the Great Lakes on weather in the region is called the lake effect. In winter, the lakes often have no ice in the middle. The seasonal winds from the west pick up the slightly warmer wet air from the lake surface. As the slightly warmer wet air passes over the colder land surface, it often produces heavy snowfall. This is similar to the effect of warmer air passing over mountain ranges, which often leads to dropping snow. During the period of freezing weather, the “snow belt”, caused by the seasonal winds, receives regular snow fall and this phenomenon along the eastern shore forms the localized weather pattern, especially in Michigan, Ohio and so on.
The lakes also moderate seasonal temperatures to some degree, by absorbing heat to cool the air in summer and then slowly giving out that heat in autumn. This function of the lakes protects the autumn against frost, and it also keeps the summer time temperatures cooler than further inland. This temperature buffering (缓冲) produces areas known as “fruit belts”, where fruits typically grown farther south can be produced. That is why some southern fruits like apples, cherries and grapes can be found in western Michigan near the lake shore as far north as the Grand Traverse Bay. The eastern shore of Lake Michigan and the southern shore of Lake Erie have many wine makers as a result of this.
However, the lake effect has been found to be related to the occurrence of bad weather. For example, fogs are often formed over medium-sized areas along the shorelines of the lakes. This is most noticeable along Lake Superior's shores, due to its coastal climate. A case in point is Hurricane Hazel in 1954，and tornadoes in Michigan and Ontario in 2007. Such evidence shows that the lake effect may help strengthen storms.
68. What result does “the lake effect” bring to the eastern shore?
A. Seasonal winds B. Warmer wet air C. Mild weather D. Heavy snowfalls
69. The underlined word “moderate” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “______”.
A. hold B. limit C. balance D. raise
70. Some typical southern fruits grow well in western Michigan because_____.
A. there is no frost in autumn B. it has a cool summer there
C. it has a fairly mild climate D. there are many wine makers
71. We can know from the passage that _____.
A. frosts often occur along the shores B. coastal areas are likely to be snowy
C, storms strengthen the lake effect D. bad weather can be caused by the lake effect.
