AEvery day we are bombarded with images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation, the medium of radio is making a phenomenal comeback.“We're at the dawn of a golden age of audio," said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast. These statistics, released by Edison Research, reveal the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format. The term "podcast," was coined in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. Since the leap in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast subscription rates have only accelerated.The appeal of the podcast partially resides in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities. You can tune in during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney university media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTunes .”I listen while I'm pottering around the house doing something else. It makes completing a boring task a lot more enjoyable..... And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world," she said.Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this comes down to the podcast's ability "to create intimacy and emotional connection." Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, major in social work and arts, agrees. "When you're tuned in, it feels as if the voice of the podcast's narrator is talking directly to you. It's comforting," said Proust.21. From the passage, we can learn that____.A. Radio is developing more quickly than mediums with images, videos, music andnews.B. Podcast has its origin in the traditional radio broadcasts.C. In the last month alone, 15 percent of world adults listened to a radio podcast.D. Podcast was becoming popular from 2004.22. By saying "We're at the dawn of a golden age of audio," Alex Blumberg wants toTell us that ______A. Traditional radio broadcasts will be loved by people again.B. Radio has attracted more people than TV and other forms of media .C. Radio will be more and more popular in the form of podcast.D. The Sydney Morning Herald will help radio become popular again.23. For podcast, which is wrong?A. You can listen to it at any time and any place. ,B. You can download it without pay.C. You can learn new content every week from it.D. You can listen to it according to your own demand.24. From the last paragraph, we can infer -'A. television and music has become less popular .B. Hazel Proust has different opinions with BlumbergC. podcast can build up close relationship with listenersD. using podcast the narrator can talk to listeners directlyBIT'S a mystery that has puzzled scientists. Five years ago, researchers found an area in the Atlantic Ocean seabed, where a part of the Earth's outer layer, or crust（地壳）, is missing. A thick layer of dark green rock, which is usually found deep inside the planet, lies exposed.The crust, mantle(地幔) and core（地核）are the main layers that make up the planet. The mantle rests between the crust and the core.Last month, a team of 12 British scientists set off on a six-week trip to study the hole in the crust.The hole is about 4,800 meters below sea level and is believed to be more than 48,000 meters long and more than 48,000 meters wide. Scientists think that there are other nearby gaps. "It is like a window into the interior (内部) of the Earth," says scientist Bramley Murton, who is part of the research team.The site where the hole is located is part of a ridge (山脉) of undersea volcanoes. There, two of the plates that make up the Earth's surface meet. The plates are always moving. When the plates move away from each other, lava rushes up from the mantle to fill the gap and form a new crust. But this did not happen in the area where the hole is located.The hole is giving researchers a good opportunity to study what's below the Earth's surface. The team will use a special robotic tool to film the area and get samples of the exposed mantle. They hope to study everything from the chemistry of the oceans to how the Earth's surface behaves under the sea.25. What's the title for the passage?A. How to study the earth.B. The formation of the earth.C. A hole in the earth.D. Studying the inside of the earth.26. For the main layers of the earth, which one is right?A. crust, mantle, coreB. seabed, crust, mantleC. seabed, mantle, coreD. crust, seabed, core27. How does the hole come into being?A. It's because of a volcano eruption.B. It's because of the plates movementsC. It's because lava rushes up from the mantleD. It's not clear from the passage.28. By studying the hole, the scientists want to do the following except____.A. knowing what's below the Earth's surfaceB. getting samples of the exposed mantleC. getting the film of the holeD. studying the chemistry of the oceansCSOME teenagers take up smoking during the holidays either because they become "rich" enough to afford a pack of cigarettes or they think they look "cool". Everyone knows that "smoking is bad for you", but do smokers really know what the health warnings mean to them?Smoking, the world's second leading cause of preventable death, kills 4.9 million people a year, the United Nations said on February 27. The world has about l.2 billion smokers and World Health Organization surveys show that about 20 per cent of them are children aged between 13 and 15 years old.On the same day, a global treaty(公约) aimed at encouraging children not to smoke and help people kick the habit came into force. This is the first worldwide agreement on a public health issue. It will see strong warnings added to cigarette packets and a ban on all tobacco advertising.Young smokers may think little of the health effects of smoking. But smoking can stop them from making friends, as most non-smokers don't like being around smokers."I feel sick when I see people of my age smoke. Smokers make themselves look less educated ," said Shi Qingyu, a Senior 3 student at Luanxian No 1 High School in Hebei Province. Once while on a bus, he asked a girl who was smoking next to him to put out her cigarette.For Wang Gezhu, a Senior l girl from Wuxi Furen High School in Jiangsu Province,boyswho smoke are less attractive."Boys that smoke may think they are cool or impressive, but I think they look weird(怪异的) compared to other ordinary students in my eyes. They only do what others won't risk doing," Wang said.Every one wants to impress others, but there are ways to show off other than smoking.On February 26, around 200 students from across the country gathered in Beijing to be awarded for their outstanding performance in the 2004 "Sunflower Cup". The programme included several contests in writing, calligraphy (书法), drawing and painting. It aimed to encourage students to take part in meaningful activities so that they could spend their free time developing healthy habits and hobbies."Teenagers are energetic and quick to learn, both good and bad things. For the sake of their own health, teenagers should learn to say no to their first cigarette because life as a smoker is a life of addiction. You can't quit," said Wang Zhengqi, deputy secretary-general (副秘书长) of the Chinese Association on Smoking and Health.29. How does the writer give us the health warnings of smoking in paragraph 2?A. By listing examples.B. By telling storiesC. By offering data. D, By persuading us.30. Smoking can affect the young from the following aspects(万面) except____.A. Smoking will do harm to their healthB, Smoking can make them coolC, Smoking will stop them from making friendsD, Smoking make them look less educated31. From what the students said in paragraph 5-7, we can learn thatA, Young smokers want others to pay attention to themB. None of the students like young smokersC. Young smokers usually smoke on the busD. Young smokers are very brave.32. From the passage. what does the author want to say?A, Don't make friends with young smokers.B. Young smokers, drop off your cigarettes !C. The young smoke because they have enough money.D. Meaningful activities are the only ways to prevent the young from smoking.DSome children are natural born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, "operates under the theory of what's mine and what's yours is mine," says his mother. "The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers(剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones."" Examine the extended family, and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt,uncle or cousin in every generation. It's an inheritable trait," says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance(支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands of the young isn't healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, "have secret feelings of weakness" and "a desire to feel safe." It's the parents' role to provide that protection.When a "boss child" doesn't learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coachers, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways."I see more and more parents giving up their power," says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.33. Bossy children like Stephen JacksonA. make good decisionsB. have little sense of fearC. lack care from othersD. show self-centeredness34. The underlined phrase "inheritable trait" in paragraph 2 meansA. developed characterB. inborn natureC. accepted theoryD. particular environment35. The study on bossy behavior implies that parents _______.A. should give more power to their childrenB. should be strict with their childrenC. should not be so anxious about their childrenD. should not set limits for their children第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
