After graduating from Medical College in Beijing in 1960,he worked as a teacher.For years as a leading Chinese specialist in respiratory(呼吸道)diseases, Zhong was well-known, but the outbreak of SARS has turned him into a household name across the country. Zhong was one of a limited number of doctors informed of the disease from the moment the first few cases were reported through the innermedical network in Guangdongand his colleagues had been busy fighting it for more than a month before he appeared at the press conference in Guangzhou. Under his guidance, an effective treatment method was discovered not long after, and Guangdong achieved the lowest death rate and highest recovery rate for SARS in China.In 2010, in order to reform medical education and cultivate（培养）more medical talents,Zhong interviewed and selected students for a 32-student “ Nanshan class“ Zhong worked as a headteacher. The class aimed to provide more hands on training, student-teacher interaction and international viewpoints than the average course. Chinese medical students are often taught in big groups and seldom get the chance to perform clinical practice. " I hope that all of you can have more contact with patients from the very beginning. We should make ourselves practical and creative, not just fluent English-speakers who work as high-ranking employees in foreign laboratories,Zhong said at the course opening ceremony.Zhong's working attitude left a deep impression on his colleagues. "What impresses me most is his double-tube stethoscope（听诊器）.Compared with other ones, it's much heavier, but it works more precisely.soMr. Zhong carries it with him wherever he goes,“ said Li Huiling, a post-doctorate fellow adult respiratory diseases research center in Guangzhou.4. What did Zhong and his colleagues achieve under his guidance?A. They reported the first SARS case.B. They held a successful press conference.C. They found a way to treat SARS.D. They achieved zero death rate for SARS.5. Why did Zhong open a “Nanshan class” ?A. To train more excellent talents.B. To interview students in person.C. To make students taught in groups.D.

A TV series.C. A news report.D. A book review.CIt is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem, they say, “ Can I put my headphones on? I think better that way. " But is that really true? Does music helpconcentrate?Research offerslittie to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration.In one small study, 133 students performed reading tasks while listening to either light music,hip hop, or no music at all. Students who performed the reading tasks in silence scored the highest. Music with a higher intensity（强度） like hip hop was more distracting（使人分心的）and had a greater negative effecton task performance and concentration.Volume（音量）plays a more important role than the type of music.The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration. The type of music didn' t matter. Data from the study showed once again that silence was the best environment to improve concentration.However, music has a positive effect on work performance. Studies have showed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood, as well as creativity. In fact, in music-listening cultures, which students are certainly part of, there's actually a change in mood when the music is taken away.It*s hard to convince my students that music doesn ' t help with their con centrat ion. Taj, a senior told me, “ I wouldn ' t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read. However,when Iwrite, I feel like music helps me concentrate deeply .1 don'thavewriter9s block.It9s easy for me to put my words on paper.“Maybe not with reading, but whenit comes to math,listening to music certainly helps J'Danela told me. “ You could actually be singing along with what you're listening to and doing well in math.”what does the underlined phrase “ back up“ in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Support B.Update C.Change. D.Discuss.8. What can we learn fromthe small study?A.Students do well in reading tasks while listening to music.B.Music can't improve people's mood and creativity.C.Different types of music lead to different performances.D.The volume of music affects concentration.1 0. What do Taj and Danela have in common?A.They believe music doe not help concentrate.B. They use music to help with their paper-writing.C.They can't focus on reading while listening to music.D.They don't listen to music while doing math problems.1 1 .Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Should Students Listen to Music?B.Does Music Help Concentration?C.Is Music Related to Reading?D. Can Music Change Mood?DSarah Vang runs a high school Hmong（苗方笑）Club in Fresno. She founded the club last year and took it upon herself to look out for new Hmong students. " There are a lot of Hmong freshmen,“ she says, “ and I just want to tell them,Join the Hmong Clubirm so happy you're Hmong! I love my community so much." But the love came only after years of fighting with her identity.Sarah didn ' t speak much Hmong while growing up and her parents didn't talk with her about their past life and why they came to the United States.She didn' t change her ideas until one day her teacher showed the class a documentary（纪录片）about the Among in Fresno where eight teenagers killed themselves between 1998 and2001. “Once I saw my brother' s face,I started crying, "Sarah says.Sarah brother was one of those teenagers.

"I cannot save my son anymore because hefs gone,“ Vang says, “but I want to ensure other parents save their kids." Vang learned the kids had different troubles, but he found a common theme. u These kids didn*t have an identity, n he says. "They don*t know who they are and where they come from.”Peter says that for kids who want to have a better sense of their identity, they need to learn about their history. Alter his hard work for a decade.Sara9sschool offered a Hmoby class and Fresno State University introduceda course about Hmong.He hopes that by knowing about their languages,history and culture,younger Hmong can decide who they want to be.12.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A.Things Sarah did for the Hmong Club.B.A terrible thing that happened in Fresno.C.The love Sarah*s family have for her brother.D.
