• 3．Many of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices.These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive.What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.
     People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags，from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve a person's life.Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough.People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught.
     During the late 1980s，saving elephants became a popular cause.Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory.These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing.As a result，most people stopped buying objects made of ivory.Laws against poaching（偷獵） were made stronger.Many countries made importing ivory illegal.Killing elephants for their Ivory became more risky and less profitable.
     However，concern for certain species will become weak after a while.In the late 1970s，people protested against the killing of seal babies.Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitat.The cruel activity stopped.But ten years later，the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.
     Other animal protection movements have come and gone，such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins.The whale population appears to have increased for now.And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the Pacific Ocean.
     In the years to come，people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species.Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time，will the elephants be forgotten？
  
  （1）What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals？

  
  A．The growing human population.
  B．Humans' hope for making a fortune.
  C．Humans' too much need for wild food.
  D．Not having enough laws on wildlife protection.
  （2）What can you infer from the text about what happened in the late 1980s？

  
  A．Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts.
  B．Importing ivory in all countries is illegal.
  C．Those who killed elephants all got caught.
  D．Hunting was completely not allowed.
  （3）Why are seal babies mentioned in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．To show the effort to protect seal babies.
  B．To show an increasing number of seal babies.
  C．To show the decrease of worry about certain species.
  D．To show people's protest against the killing of seal babies.
  （4）What does the author mean by using the underlined sentence？

  
  A．Humans should choose some rare animals to protect.
  B．Attention must be paid to saving some endangered wildlife.
  C．Success has been achieved in quite a few cases of wildlife protection.
  D．Concern and movements for animal protection should be always kept.

• 4．In all the world's cultures，people sing，play instruments，and celebrate with music.It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study，including one looking at the biology of music.Experts find that because of the way our brains process music，learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.
     Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math，science，and language skills.One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months，discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain，increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example，reading notes improves spatial（空間的）reasoning skills，which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions （分?jǐn)?shù)）.
     Music is also used for medical purposes，such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead，the medial prefrontal cortex（腦前額葉外皮），connects music with memories stored in two other areas：the amygdale（杏仁核）and hippocampus（海馬體）.That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago.For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's，listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.
     With the evidence of music's benefits，it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment，music is also great for the brain.
  
  （1）According to the Canadian study，which children increased IQ scores？

  
  A．Those who already had high IQ scores.
  B．Those who had always played music.
  C．Those who could not play any instrument.
  D．Those who studied music for a period of time.
  （2）Which of the following is a kind of disease？

  
  A．Spatial reasoning.
  B．Alzheimer's.
  C．The amygdale and hippocampus.
  D．The medial prefrontal cortex.
  （3）Which can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Music and health
  B．Music and education
  C．Music and the mind
  D．Music and instruments
  （4）Scientists are studying music because

  .
  A．music can be used for medical treatments
  B．music plays a very important role in our lives
  C．our brains can process music in different ways
  D．music education has received a lot of attention
