18、you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person. A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Anto
19、nio Vivaldis The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music.

(C) During my travels through the mountains of Greece I was only ever scared once. It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves（狼）that were feeding on
26、the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur. As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body
27、and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling my presence. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As
28、 I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time let out a long, loud cry. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it was a sign to be death. Every moment I expected to see the pack of wolves dash（冲）at me.
29、 I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general（将军）moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and r
30、eturned to the dead animal. If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am certain the whole pack would have attacked（进攻）me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated them and kept them back. ( )27. How did the writer feel when he caught sight of the wolv
31、es? A. He felt very surprised B. He felt very happy. C. He felt very frightened. D. He felt very amazed. ( )28. What can we learn from this passage? A. Wolves are our friends. B.

32、danger. ( )29. Which is the best title for this story? A. In Face of Fear B. My Trip to Greece C. An Important Travel D. A Man With Six Wolves (D) Without proper planning, tourism (旅游业）can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local peopl
33、e of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affect
34、s them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industr
35、y. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by
36、 tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as w
37、ell, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost. ( )30. What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists? A. Tourists
38、come to enjoy the customs and beauty. B. Local people lose jobs. C. A lot of hotels are built. D. Too many tourists cause traffic problems. ( )31.
