第二部分　閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分20分）第一節(jié)（共3小題；每小題6分，滿分20分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

• 1．Our children and grandchildren may not have a chance to visit many of the most famous places around the world.War，weather，age，traffic and pollution damage these famous places.If we do nothing，they may even no longer remain.But looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford.
     In the early 1970s，world governments decided that if they joined together，they would be able to preserve our history.If every country paid some money，they said，it would be possible to look after important historic places.For this reason，countries around the world united to form the World Heritage Organization in 1972.Today，the organization helps to protect and rebuild the most important places from our history.
     However，one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism.That is to say，people sometimes enter these places and damage the buildings.At some places，such as Stonehenge in England，governments have built high fences to protect it from vandals.
     There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism.Some professors say that if guards keep walking around these places，vandals won't be able to get in.Some professors say that if they fix more television cameras，they won't need so many guards.Others say that the best way is education.If people learn to respect history，they won't damage it.They will also want to spend money looking after old places.For this reason，the World Heritage Organization helps to spread information about the value of historic places.

• 2．In the 1960s，while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park，Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that，oddly，had not troubled anyone before：he couldn't find the park's volcano.It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature-that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features.But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
     Most of us，when we talk about volcanoes，think of the classic cone（圓錐體）shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro，which are created when erupting magma（巖漿）piles up.These can form remarkably quickly.In 1943，a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high.Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across.Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all but a few hundred of them extinct.There is，however，a second less known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building.These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack，leaving behind a vast hole，the caldera.Yellowstone obviously was of this second type，but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere.
     Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors' centers.As soon as Christiansen saw the photos，he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera：almost the whole park-2.2 million acres-was caldera.The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across-much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level.At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
  
  （1）What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？

  
  A．Its complicated geographical features.
  B．Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.
  C．The mysterious history of the park.
  D．The exact location of the volcano.
  （2）What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？

  
  A．The shapes of volcanoes.
  B．The impacts of volcanoes.
  C．The activities of volcanoes.
  D．The heights of volcanoes.
  （3）What does the underlined word "blow-up" in the last paragraph most probably mean？

  
  A．Hot-air balloon.
  B．Digital camera.
  C．Big photograph.
  D．Bird's view.

第二節(jié) 概要寫作（25分）

• 8．閱讀下面短文，根據其內容寫一篇60詞左右的內容概要。
      Many people are fond of listening to music.Whether it's light music or jazz music，it can improve our moods.Music has been with us since very early times in human history.Have you ever wondered how music might affect our health？
      Research shows that having musical training and listening to or playing music at an old age can help keep the brain healthy.Since listening to music is like exercising the brain，one can expect the benefits of better memory and mental sharpness as he or she ages.
      Music can make you feel happy，excited or even pumped up.Listening to music that hits you in a special way causes your brain to release dopamine，which is known as a "feel-good" chemical.It causes us to feel happy and excited.Listening to music provides us with the same burst of happiness that we would get from eating a piece of chocolate.
      Music can strengthen the heart and shorten the recovery time of patients who are suffering from heart disease.A study found that heart disease patients who listened to music for 30 minutes had lower blood pressure，slower heart rates and less sadness than those who didn't.Researchers from Drexel University found that cancer patients who either listened to music or worked with a music therapist had better blood pressure levels and improved moods.
      Music can reduce levels of the stress hormone，which weakens the immune（免疫）system，increasing risk of heart disease，affecting learning and memory，lowering bone density（密度）and blood pressure，etc.Research found that by listening to just 50 minutes of uplifting music，the levels of antibodies in the human body increase.
      Research has found that listening to music promotes better sleep patterns for people and even creates more restful sleep.In some cases，music might even be able to be used to effectively treat sleeplessness.Music can have positive effects on the soul and quality of life as well.
