But how did it all start ? When could people first choose the music they wanted to listen to ? The 1900s: The player radio In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pianos became very popular and rich families bought “player pianos”. A player piano played music that was programmed on paper rolls with holes in them and you could also play it like a holes in them and you could also play it like a “normal” piano. In the mid 1920s player pianos began to disappear mainly because the radio got more popular. The 1910s: The first phonographs (留声机) 3 As early as 1877, there were phonographs to play music on and by the 1910s, many families had one. The music was on “records” made of aluminum foil (铝箔). People could listen to them only a few times before the foil broke. Later the music was on wax cylinders (蜡筒). There could hold longer recordings (two to four minutes), and people could play them more often. The 1920s : Gramophones and record players Gramophones were similar to the phonographs, but they used flat vinyl (乙烯 基) disks and not cylinders to hold the music. The disks went round, and first a steel needle, then later a small diamond, “took” the music off the record. Some of the disks could play for more than 20 minutes per side. Today some music lovers who are crazy about disks still use vinyl records. The 1960s-1970s: Cassettes and the Walkman In the 1960s, the first cassette recorders became popular. A big step towards modern technology was the invention of the first portable (便携式的) cassette player, the “Walkman”, by the Japanese company, Sony in 1979. For the first time, people could listen to their favourite music while they were travelling, doing sports, or going for walks. 21(What happened to the player piano in the mid 1920s ? A(Only the rich could afford it. B(It began to be used as a “normal” piano. C(It was gradually replaced by the radio. (It was improved and played music automatically. D 22(What do we know about phonographs and gramophones ? A(They used different records to hold the music. B(They are still popular among music lovers now. C(Gramophones were easier to carry than phonographs. D(Phonographs held longer recordings than gramophones. 23(The text is mainly about . A(the history of music. B(the popularity of music. C(the different types of music. D(the development of listening to music. B When he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film, Sharkwater, documents the cruel practice of removing sharks’ fins (鳍) for money and leaving the animals to die. In his latest documentary, Revolution, Stewart takes on an even bigger challenge : climate change. The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed people and places everywhere: “It is stronger than any government or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions” about protecting natural resources. According to a recent report on climate change, “The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have reduced ,and sea levels have risen.” These developments are endangering crops, wildlife, fish, and even people. Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action, especially young people. “It’s up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南) of society,” he believes, “and say, ‘Guys, this is not right.’” Many kids took action after seeing Shaarkwater. Elementary school students in 4 the Northern Mariana Islands, for example, got their local government to ban the sale of shark fins. Felix Finkbeiner, 17, of Germany is also part of the “revolution” to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called Plant-for-the-Planet, whose motto is “Stop Talking. Start Planting.” The group raises money to plant trees. So far, Plant-for-the-Planet has planted nearly 200 trees around the world. “Future ” generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction (无作为), Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees. “When we started four year ago,” Felix tells Stewart in Revolution, “We thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that it’s about our future, that we have to save our own future.” 24(What can we learn about Rob Stewart ? A(He cares about the environment. B(He likes taking challenging jobs. C(He spends most of his time traveling. D(He made his first film four years ago. 25(What does the underlined word “irreversible” in Paragraph 4 mean ? A(Easy to accept. B(Hard to notice. C(Impossible to change. D(Unnecessary to worry about. 26(Which of the following can best describe Felix Finkbeiner ? (Easy-going. B(Far-sighted. A C(Peace-loving. D(Self-centered. 27(What would be the best title for the text ? A(The best way to help. B(A famous filmmaker. C(Tips on saving our future. D(Helping a planet in trouble. C President Barack Obama renamed North America’s tallest mountain this week. For almost 100 years, the 20,310-foot Alaskan peak has been identified on most maps as Mount McKinley. Its names is now officially Denali. This “new” official name isn’t really new at all. Obama changed the mountain’ s name to Denali because, for generations, that’s what people in Alaska have called it. The Athabascan people, a Native Alaskan group, named the peak Denali long ago. It means “high one” or “great one.” “We are officially renaming the mountain Denali in recognition of the traditions of Alaska Natives and the strong support of the people of Alaska,” said U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski praised Obama’s move. “I’d like to thank the president for working with us to achieve this significant change to show honor, respect, and gratitude to the Athabascan people of Alaska,” she said. The name Mount McKinley got its start in 1896. At that time, there was a gold rush going on in Alaska. A gold prospector (勘探者) wanted to honor William McKinley of Ohio, who had just been nominated (提名) to run for U.S. president. McKinley would go on to become the nation’s 25th president. He was killed in 1901, six months into his second term as president. The U.S. Congress made the name Mount McKinley official in 1917. Native Alaskans were insulted (侮辱) by the name change. The result has been 5 a political tug-of-war between Alaska and Ohio. Since 1975, Alaska politicians have pushed Congress to change the name back to Denali. Now that President Obama has changed the name, some people in Ohio are very unhappy. “This political change is insulting to all Ohioans,” said Congressman Bob Gibbs, who is from that state. Denali also made news this week for another reason: U.S. officials decreased its official height by 10 feet. The United States Geological Survey announced that Denali is 20,310 feet high, not 20,320 as previously thought. The mountain has not shrunk (萎缩). Advances in technology allowed scientists to take more accurate measurements of it. 28(Why has the U.S. government renamed its tallest mountain ? A(To end a long political debate. B(To show respect for Alaska Natives. C(To remember the nation’s 25th president. D(To officially identify the mountain’s name on maps. 29(What’s Ohioans’ attitude towards the new name of Mount McKinley ? A(Excited. B(Amazed. C(Puzzled. D(Disappointed. 30(What’s do we know about Mount Denali ? A(It is actually 20,310 feet in height. B(It was found by a gold prospector. C(It was originally named McKinley. D(It isn’t North America’s tallest mountain. 31(What would be the best title for the text ? A(A political tug-of-war. B(From McKinley to Denali. C(The tallest mountain found. D(In honor of William McKinley. D Valcamonica has one of the largest collections of rock drawings in the world. There have been about 200,000 figures and symbols carved into the rocks over a time period of approximately 8,000 years, Valcamonica’s pictures show various scenes and are connected through common themes like magic, war, navigation and agriculture. The rock drawings discovered in Valcamonica were the first prehistoric symbols of their kind recognized anywhere in the world. UNESCO first recognized the drawings in 1979 when about 140,000 were discovered, however, since then many more have been uncovered. These drawings are spread all across the valley. The carvings began to taper off during the Iron Age and fewer appeared after that. The last period had been attributed to (归功于„„) the Camunni people. Still there are drawings that have been identified as being from the 19th century. Many of these were created using the technique of engraving (雕刻). Some of the figures discovered in Valcamonica have been superimposed (叠印) withouit any order, but in most cases they appear in logical orders and also explain the relationship between each picture or symbol to tell a story. The first known modern report of the rock carvings was in 1909 when Walther Laeng happened upon two decorated rocks in Capo di Ponte. Scholars only took interest in the drawings in the 1920s. More rocks with engravings were soon found in the areas nearby and research into their history began. In the 1930s comprehensive study campaigns were undertaken. It was after the Second World War that the cataloging and mapping of the engravings began. This task was taken up by various teams of experts from Italy and other countries that were led by Laeng. In 1955 preservation work on the rocks began. 6 In 1968, a large series of conferences were held where scholars from all over the world met to discuss the rock drawings, which give us some idea of what various societies of the past might have been like. 32(What do we know about Valcamonica’s pictures ? A(They tell a long whole story. B(They are interrelated in some ways. C(They were carved 8,000 years ago. D(They were first discovered in 1979. 33(The underlined “taper off” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “ ”. A(turn up. B(go up C(die out D(stand out 34(What is Paragraph 5 mainly about ? A(The history of the rock drawings. B(The features of the rock drawings. C(The discovery of the rock drawings. D(The formation of the rock drawings. 35(Studies of the rock drawings . A(show us the development of art. B(started after the Second World War. C(were conducted by scholars from UNESCO. D(help us know something about societies of the past. 第二节 七选五(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。选项中的两项为多余选项。 Ways to protect cell phones from damage While people use cell phones frequently, very few take the necessary measures to prevent damage. 36 Here are some simple ways for you to protect your cell phone from damage.
