The hungry office worker probably won’t remember who brought him lunch on a
Friday afternoon, or (21)________ it was 11 minutes and 20 seconds before the

(A)

Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He
never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by
musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.
He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the
notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣
曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and
played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is
very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel
wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers
told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.
Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with
music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two
years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to
read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the
notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The
piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his
amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many
professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super
memory---I guess I have that gift.”
However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His
family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a
story, and then he could retell the story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the
future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

(B)
Champagne is a sparkling wine produced from grapes
grown in the Champagne region of France following rules that
demand secondary fermentation of the wine in the bottle to
create carbonation. Some use the term Champagne as a generic
term for sparkling wine, but it is illegal to officially label any
product Champagne unless it both comes from the Champagne
region and is produced under the rules of the title.
In France the first sparkling Champagne was created accidentally. Contrary to
6

legend and popular belief, Dom Pérignon did not invent sparkling wine. The oldest
recorded sparkling wine is Blanquette de Limoux, which was apparently invented
by Benedictine Monks in the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire, near Carcassonne in
achieved this by bottling the wine before the initial fermentation had
ended. Over a century later, the English scientist and physician Christopher
Merret documented the addition of sugar to a finished wine to create a second
fermentation, six years before Dom Pérignon set foot in
the Abbey of Hautvillers and almost 40 years before it was claimed that the
Benedictine monk invented Champagne.
The pressure in the bottle led it to be called devil's wineas bottles
exploded or corks popped. In 1844 Adolphe Jaquesson invented the muselet to
prevent the corks from blowing out. Even when it was deliberately produced as a
sparkling wine, Champagne was for a very long time made by theméthode rurale,
where the wine was bottled before the initial fermentation had finished.
Champagne did not use the méthode champenoise until the 19th century, about
200 years after Merret documented the process. Methodo Chanpenoise is the
traditional method by which Champagne is produced. After primary fermentation
and bottling, a second alcoholic fermentation occurs in the bottle. This second
fermentation is caused by adding several grams of yeast and rock sugar to the
bottle- although each brand has its own secret recipe. Usually a minimum of 1.5
years is required to completely develop all the flavor.
The 19th century saw an exponential growth in Champagne production,
going from a regional production of 300,000 bottles a year in 1800 to 20 million
bottles in 2007, Champagne sales hit an all-time record of 338.7 million
bottles.
59. _____ causes the explosion of the champagne bottle.

（C）
BEIJING ---Astronomers have refuted rumors that the devastating earthquake
and ensuing tsunami in Japan were closely related to or even caused by the “super
moon” that will appear in the sky on Saturday.
The word “supermoon” was introduced in a report by the British newspape
r Daily Mail on March 9, which said amateur scientists were warning that such an
astronomical phenomenon could disrupt the Earth?s climate patterns and may ev
en cause earthquakes and volcanic activity. The moon will be 356, 577 kilometers
from the Earth on Saturday, the closest in 19 years, and the closest point in its oval
orbit coincides with a full moon, the report said.
However, Saturday?s moon is not actually the closest to Earth in 19 years, Ta
ng Haiming, an astronomer with Shanghai Astronomical Observatory under the C
hinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua News Agency. A shorter distance of 356,
570 km between the two bodies was reached in January 2005, and a distance of 3
56, 566 km was seen in December 2008.
Yet some people suggest that previous supermoons have occurred prior to e
8

xtreme weather events. In 1974 the phenomenon was followed by Cyclone Tracy i
onesia. Coincidentally, two fresh disasters happened in Asia right before Saturday?
s supermoon. The public?s concern about their connection with the moon boome
d after Japan?s devastating earthquake and tsunami and a tremor in South-west C
hina?s Yunnan Province that killed 25 people on March 10.
But astronomers are trying to reassure people that such rumors are merely
groundless.
“A supermoon could cause high tides but has no direct relation with natural
disasters such as earthquakes.” Liu Jie. a researcher with the China Earthquake N
etwork Center, told China Daily on Tuesday. “We can?t find any necessary connect
ion between previous supermoons and earthquakes. And the quake in Japan occu
rred because the Earth?s internal energy had accumulated to some extent, and it?
s not related to the moon,” he said.
James Garvin, chief scientist at the Goddard Space Flight Center under NASA,
said in an article on NASA?s website that “the effects on Earth from a supermoon
are minor.” “The combination of the moon being at its closest to Earth in its orbit,
and being in its ?full moon? configuration (relative to the Earth and sun), should n
ot affect the internal energy balance of the Earth, since there are lunar tides every
day. ”
Zhu Jin, curator of the Beijing Planetarium, said, ??the moon moves around t
he earth in an elliptical path. so each orbit has a perigee---its closest approach, an
d an apogee---its furthest distance.” “A lunar perigee occurs once a month and the
re are very small differences in distances between perigees.” he said. “Those tiny d
ifferences are far from enough to cause earthquakes or eruption of a volcano,” he
added.
63. How many disasters are mentioned in the article?
A. three B. four C. five D. six
64. What’s the real reason for the quake in Japan?
A. Because supermoon disrupted the Earth?s climate patterns.
B. Because the Earth?s internal energy had accumulated to some extent.

n Darwin, Australia, and in 2005 it occurred shortly before a deadly tsunami in Ind
9

C. Because the combination of the moon being at its closest to Earth in its or
bit, and being in its “full moon” configuration affected the internal energy balance of t
he Earth. D. Because God punished us for our serious pollution.
65. Which of the following statements is true?

A. When the moon is 356,577 kilometers from the Earth, it is the closest
in 19 years.
B. A supermoon has no direct relation with high tides.
C. A lunar perigee occurs once a month and they are always the same in distance.
D. The supermoon should not affect the internal energy balance of the earth.

Like millions of other Americans, I come from a family with a history of
heart disease. My father had his first three heart attacks when he was only
thirty-one. ___67___, I grew up with heart disease: It was there, but I didn't take it
seriously.
When I was thirty-one, my blood cholesterol (胆固醇) level was measured for
the first time. It was 311 mgdl, the doctor told me — an extremely high level that
put me at a very high risk of heart disease, especially with my family history. He
sent me to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to be screened for participation
10
A. I could lower my blood cholesterol level simply by changing what I ate.
B. I was three years old at that time.
C. There is not enough oxygen in the blood.
D. It was a heart attack just waiting to happen.
E. The trial was designed to test the effect of lowing blood cholesterol on the risk
of heart disease.
F. The death rate for the test was only 1 in 100, I was assured.

in a clinical trial.___68____.

At NIH, physicians explained the degree of risk associated with my blood
cholesterol level and the nature of the experiment. This test involves putting a
tube through a leg artery (动脉) up to the heart.____69____.Learning about the
risks of the experiment as well as the risk associated with my raised blood
cholesterol level scared the life out of me. Although I was excluded from
participating in the study, the experience may well have saved my life.
For the first time, I began to realize the seriousness of high blood
cholesterol.___70___.But equally important, I got a taste of what it is like to be a
patient, to have tests done on me and to think of myself as sick. This was hard to
take.
This experience taught me two lifesaving lessons. First, although I felt fit and
strong , I was actually at high risk for heart disease because of my high blood
cholesterol level. And with my family history, it could not be ignored. Therefore, I
should try to lower my blood cholesterol level.
