Derek Amato,from Denver,Colorado,is just one of 30 people in the entire world suf- feting from Acquired Savant Syndrome(ASS), where people display profound abilities after suffering head trauma. ————After years of failed jobs and homeless ness,the 40:year-old is now e.joying a ca— reer in music and can play eight instru— ments despite never having a lesson in his life. He:has now recounted the exciting mo— ment he felt drawn to a friend’s piano after the October 2006 accident and immediately began playing. “It was one of those。moments when you ust knew,”he told Matt Lauer on the Today show.“It was just drawing me to it.’’ Amato,who cannot read music,ex— plained that he knew what to play as he could see black and white squares in his head that triggered his ifngers to move. “That’s my notation(乐谱),”he said. “When those:black and white squares are go— ing。that’s what my hands do.I’m convinced it’s all for a。reason and it’s my iob to do it right.” Amato, who is recording his second al— bum,plays eight instruments he could not play before,as well as brushing up on his guitar skills,which he described as being a “2.5 out of t0”before the accident. In October 2006,he was partying with friends when he jumped into the pool and hit his head.“I remember the panic set in that I knew I hurt myself”.he said.“I knew it was something bad.’’ In a post for the Wisconsin Medical So— ciety,he added:‘‘As I dove into the swimming pool,I remember coming up out of the water complaining that my ears were bleeding.” 88 “As I looked to my friends for explana— tion,I recall their lips moving but without sound.As I touched my ears to check for bleeding,I realized there was no blood,and I couldn’t hear anything at al1.’’ After collapsing,Amato was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with a serious con— cussion.Doctors also found he had a perma— nent 35 percent loss of hearing,as well as memory loss. But,Amato told the Today show,this is a small price to pay for what he can do now. ‘'The headaches and the loss of hearing are the price tag for this gift,"he said.“I’d like it to stay.’’ 5 1.What is the accurate symptom of ASS?

B.Every dog has its day. C.It’s never too old to learn, D.Rome was not built in a day. B Treece,Kansas,is a-poisoned town.Only one house remains.Tim and Della Busby are the lone residents of the community today. And they say they’re staying put.Even if it’s toxic(有毒的),Treece is still their home. This tiny community in southeast Kansas used to be a bustling mining town—with a school。hundreds of homes and bars But,the mines that turned Treece into a boomtown left it lifeless and abandoned. It’s a toxic ghost town now.All but two residents left when the federal government of- fered buy-outs(控制股权收购)to the 138 people who stuck around after the mines shut down。the Kartsas City Star reports. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)says decades of zinc and lead mining have left the soil。water and air polluted. Massive piles of poisoned mining pieces litter(使凌乱)the streets.The mines that were dug beneath the town are turning the ground into Swiss cheese,as massive sink holes develop throughout the town--many big enough and deep enough to swallow a man whole. In 2009,the federal government began offering buy—.outs for the residents of Treece after Congress approved¥3.5 million to vacate (空出1 the town and turn it into a Supeffund site. Treece was abandoned after nearby Picher,Oklahoma,which sits iust across the state line,was bought out by the federal gov— eminent and bought out for the same reason—— lead contamination left by decades of mining. Picher’s buy—out came first—it was a historic event,the government giving people cash to leave the town where they’d lived on their lives. However,the EPA tried to save Treece. Only one child out of l 6 in the town tested positive for having dangerously high levels of lead. But the damage in Treece was already done,and the residents no longer believed it was safe to lire there. After Picher was abandoned the town government in Treece also asked for a buy— out. When it ifnally came.the EPA offered res. idents about¥40,000 each for their homes.By 20 1 0。63 out of 64 homeowners sold out and their houses were torn down. 55.Which of the following causes contributes to the town Treece abandoned? A.The federal government provided fi- nancial suppo ̄. B.Decades of mining have left the soil, water and air polluted. C.Amount of poisoned waste is disposed of randomly. D.It’s a toxic ghost town. 56.Which of the following may replace the underlined words“staying put”in Para— graph 1 7 A.setting out B.fixing up C.getting through D.1iving on 57.What can we learn from the passage? A.Picher had a lot in common with Treece,such as education system. B Tim and Della’s decision was lacking in consideration. C.Treece turned out to be abandoned for ifnancial crisis. D.The EPA tried to save Treece but in Valn. 58.What might be the best title for the pas— sage? A.Saving the Environment Is Essential B.Let’S Help the Homeless C.The Last Family in an Abandoned Town D.A Polluted Town in Kansas C High temperatures across the United States have made this summer the warmest on record.The severe heat is causing many Americans to seek shade.But there is a big— ger issue at hand:drought.According to the National Drought Mitigation Center(NDMC), 63%of the country is in some form of drought and 46%is experiencing severe drought. “We have only seen two other times when that much area of the U.S.in the lower 48 states is in drought,’’says Mark Svoboda of the NDMC. “And that was in the 1950s and the 1 930s.’’A drought happens when there is less rain than usual and water sup— plies become short.This can lead to crops shortages.increased food prices and limits on water use.The states impacted the most by this year’s drought are Nebraska,Kansas, Missouri,Oklahoma and Arkansas. Lack of snowfall this winter and hot tern. peratures this spring started the drought.Ex— treme summer temperatures have made the drought severe and fast—paced.“High temper— atures are the big news story because they have really accelerated the impacts of this drought,”explains Svoboda. According to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center,last month was the warmest July on record in the U.S.Daytime heat can be in— tense,but the real problem is the increasing temperatures at night.“It’s those high night— time minimum temperatures that have really put stress on the livestock,people,and crops.”explains Svoboda.“There’s no chance to recover from the day’s heat.” Experts say the drought will probably last until at least the middle of October.As ofr the high temperatures,Svoboda says there 90 is reason to believe that the upcoming winter will be a cooler one than in recent years.“It may be a way to sort of switch things around for us for the better,”he says. 59.According to the passage,the severe drought attack . A.causes many Americans to seek shade B.causes severe heat this summer C.occurs in more than half the countyr D.occurs in nearly half the country 60.How many times has this kind of drought struck the USA? A.Only once. B.Twice. C.rrhree times.D.Four times. 61.What’s the most possible serious effect of this high temperature? A.Drought’s quickly extending. B.Limits on water use. C.Increasing food prices. D.Crops shortages. 62.What is the main idea of the last para- graph? A.Experts’prediction for the future. B.The ending time of the drought. C.Experts’worry for the future. D.The situation of the upcoming winter. D By 2020,there will be about 38 million to 40 million too few college and university graduates to satisfy the demands of the global labor market,a report issued this mOBth has ofund. At the same time,there wilI be a surplus (剩余)0f up to 95 million low—skilled workers globally,according to the study,conducted by the McKinsey Global Institute. The report bases its estimates on the es— timation of a global work force of 3.5 billion by the year 2020,compared with 2.9 billion today. “Unemployment for less skilled workers is currently running two to three times that of those skilled workers with university or post— graduate degrees,’’said Richard Dobbs.,one of the authors of the report. China will have to increase its educated work.force in order to-fulifll its need for 23 million high-skilled workers by 2020,the re— port said. ’ 。Despite the old stereotype(陈规1日习) about arts majors,Americans and Canadians with arts degrees are by and large employed and happy with their work,according to a new report released last week by the Strategic National Arts Alumni f毕业生)Proj ect at In- diana.Universit v. The report,titled “A Diverse Palette”, considered degrees in performance,design, architecture,creative writing,music compost— tion,choreography,film,illustration and。ifne art.It found that 87 pm’cent of arts alumni who are working are contenl,with their jobs, whether or not they work as artists,and that 82 percent of respondents felt they brought creativity to their jobs. The speciifc discipline played an impor— tant role in employability,the study suggest— ed.For example,82 percent of those with a dance degree said they had worked or were working as an artist.That was only true of 30 percent with art history degrees.Many arts graduates became.involved in education: 57 percent of arts graduates have taught at some point in their career,and 27 percent are doing so currently,the report.found. 63.In which column of a newspaper can we ifnd the passage?

As the old saying goes,“The early bird catch— es the worm.’’ Look at these around US and we’11 find diligent students are always the favorite of our class.They usually achieve more than ex— pected.Why do SO many students of average intelligence go far ahead of others?Hard work is definitely the answer.When 1 was in Senior One,I thought 1 was excellent enough and spent my time idly.Therefore,I failed in the mid—term exam in return.Having reflected on myself,I tried my best to make up what I have lost,burying myself in books.To my de— light,in the final exam 1 won the third place in my class.Without hard work,1 wouldn’t have achieved SO much. In my opinion,we students should now try our best to learn all the subjects well SO that we can be well prepared for the chal— lenges we will face in the future.
