Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓). The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn"t change too much(music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.
56. According to this passage, the noise pollution __
A. has become the worst in the countryside B. has become better in big cities
C. has spread from cities to villages D. has been controlled in modern cities

B. Music played in the backyard.

A. while listening to pop music B. in complete silence
C. when speaking loudly D. while watching TV
59. Which of the following isn"t included among the things causing noise?
A. trucks B. motorcycles C. electric engines D. jet planes
60. Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating on something is

The general frequency of colds continues to decline into adults.Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds annually.One exception is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infections(感染), because people to this age group are most likely to have young children.Adults who delay having children until their thirties and forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infections.
The study also found that economics (经济状况) plays an important role.As income increases, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases.Families with the lowest income suffer about a third more colds than families at the upper end.Lower income generally forces people to live in closer quarters than those typically occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increases the opportunities for the cold virus to travel from person to person.Low income may also influence diet.The degree to which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly proved, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance generally.
68. What factors cause people to catch colds easily?
A. Age and pregnancy. B. Health and pregnancy.
C. Health and economics. D. Age and economics.
69. Why does the lowest income lead to the rapid spread of colds?
A. Because poor people can"t afford to go to see a doctor.
B. Because balanced diet has definitely affected poor people.
C. Because people with the lowest income have limited living space.
D. Because cold virus don"t have opportunities to travel in poor families.
70. How does the study prove that age plays a part in susceptibility to colds?
A. Using comparison. B. Using graphs.
C. Using description. D. Using argument.

A. Families with the lowest income suffer less colds than rich families.
B. The general frequency of colds are likely to increase among the poor.
C. Women in their twenties are most likely to avoid cold infections.

Teachers have long said that success is its own reward. But these days, some students are finding that good grades can bring them cash and luxury gifts.
In at least a dozen states this school year, students who bring home top marks can expect more than just thankfulness.
The most ambitious experiment began in September, when seven states—Arkansas, Alabama, Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington—won spots in an Mobilfunded program that, in most cases, pays students $100 for each passing grade on advanced placement(AP) collegeprep exams.
It’s an effort to get lowincome and minority students interested in the courses, says Tommie Sue Anthony, president of the Arkansas Advanced Initiative for Math and Science. “We still have students who are not sure of the value, who are not willing to take the courses.” she says, “Probably the motivation will make a difference with those students.”
Gregg Fleisher of the National Math and Science Initiative, which runs the sevenstate program, says the effort is modeled on a program adopted by Dallas in the 1995-1996 school year that saw AP coursetaking jump obviously. That program is now statewide.
While many educators would be against offering kids cash for good grades, Fleisher and others say the idea is simple. “It’s an encouragement to get them to basically make the right decision and choose a more strict class.” he says, “This teaches them that if they work at something very hard and have a lot of support, they can do something they didn’t think they could do.”
An analysis of the Texas program last month by Cornell economist C.Kirabo Jackson found that it linked to a 30% rise in the number of students with high SAT and ACT scores and an 8% rise in collegegoing students.
(Notes:1.SAT:美国学术能力评估考试; 2.ACT:美国大学入学考试。)
51.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Success is its own reward. B.Success makes a difference.
C.Good grades deserves gratitude. D.A new motivation for students.
52.What’s the purpose of the experiment?
A.To get relatively poor students interested in their studies.
B.To help poor students to keep on with education.
C.To offer poor students luxury gifts on their birthdays.
D.To make an effort to raise the value of money.
53.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Students who top at collegeprep exams get $100.
B.The program was probably first adopted by Dallas.
C.The program has been going on half a dozen states this year.
D.The program didn’t have any effect on student’s achievements.
