Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, while others think that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelops with cashes to deserving causes, accompanied by an article from the local newspaper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales.

The first envelop was sent to a victim support group. It contained € 10.000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag: similar plain white anonymous envelops each containing € 10.000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.

The envelops keep coming, and so far at least € 190.000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper?s own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung an anonymous white envelop found 20 notes of € 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.

“I was driving when I heard the news.” Claudia Neumann, the boy?s mother told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.”

“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing.” Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.

Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: “Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know.” However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city?s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.

How to deal successf ully with a child showing outstanding musical ability? It?s not always clear how best to develop and encourage his gift. Many parents may even fail to recognize and respond to their children?s need until discouragement explodes into uncooperative behavior. And while most schools are equipped to deal with children who are especially able in academic subjects，the musically gifted require special understanding which may not always be available in an ordinary school. Such children may well benefit from the education offered by a specialist music school.

The five music schools in Britain aim to provide an environment where gifted children can develop their skills under the guidance of professional musicians. Children here spend about half of a day on musical activities，for example，individual lessons，orchestras，chamber(室内音乐的)groups，voice training，conducting and theory. They also spend several hours a day practicing in private rooms. The rest of their time is taken up with the subjects: English, maths and basic sciences.

What are the disadvantages? An obvious problem is that the fees are high. However, each school will offer scholarships and other forms of financial aid. Secondly, not all parents want to send their children to boarding school, especially at an early age. Almost all the directors of the specialist schools express doubts about the wisdom of admitting children as young as seven into such a tense and disciplined (守纪律的) environment. They stress，however, that their main aim is to help the students to become those who are excellent in all aspects.

61. If a child?s musical ability is not recognized,.

A. the child may behave badly

B. the ability may fade away

C. the child may lose interest

D. the parents may become anxious

62. What probably may musically gifted children face in ordinary schools?

A. Their academic work may suffer.

B. Schools lack musical equipment.

C. Music is not seen as an important subject.

D. Parents and teachers don?t work together.

63. What makes specialist music schools different from other schools?

A. Their working day is longer.

B. A range of musical training is offered.

C. More than half the day is spent on music.

D. The children have mostly one-to-one lessons.

64. According to school directors，what is a possible disadvantage for pupils?

A. Poor children may not be included.

B. They may lose their individuality.

C. There may be a discipline problem.

D. They may be too small on arrival.

65. The passage mainly talks about .

A. education and development about children

B. disadvantages of music schools

C. music schools for children with music gift

D. how to deal with music talented children

D

Abandoned babies can be left in a …baby hatch?at a German hospital where newborns are looked after and put up for adoption.

The heated box, lined with a pillow and blankets, is at Berlin?s St Joseph hospital. Mothers can leave their unwanted children at the baby hatch, and statistics show it is used about twice a year.

The stainless-steel hatch slides out and after a person has placed their baby inside and slid it shut, it touches an alarm inside the hospital so staff can pick the child up. It takes about two or three minutes for staff to get to the hatch so the parent has enough time to slip away without being noticed.

Inside the box is a letter which tells the mother German authorities will look after the baby for eight weeks. Mums that change their mind can come back to reclaim their babies within two months. However, if the parent does not come back to be reunited with their child after the two months it well be put up for adoption.

The practice was common in medieval times but has come under fire from the UN recently, the BBC reports. It believes that children have a right to know who their parents are and that right is denied to children left in the baby hatch.

The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child says there are baby boxes across Europe but Germany has the most with 99 across the country.

However, some people support the use of baby hatches. They argue without such places of safety, parents conceal (隐藏) newborns in hidden places that are not easily found, causing the deaths of many unwanted babies.

German chancellor Angela Merkel put forward legislation (立法) earlier this year to find an alternative to baby hatches.

Women will be allowed to give birth without revealing their identity to anyone outside the hospital. The information would be kept for 16 years which would allow children who have been abandoned to find out who their birth mother is when they are older.

66. A baby hatch is set up mainly to .

A. treat sick babies.

B. aid helpless mothers.

C. deal with dead babies.

D. save abandoned babies.

67. What can we learn about the baby hatch at Berlin?s St Joseph hospital?

A. It allows the mother to leave unseen.

B. The baby will be adopted immediately.

C. The mother can never get her baby back.

D. It was introduced to the hospital recently.

68. The UN criticises the baby hatch because it .

A. reduces the sense of parental guilt.

B. increases the death rate of new babies.

C. denies children?s right to know the parents.

D. encourages such acts as abandoning babies.

69. What can we learn about German chancellor Angela Merkel?s new legislation?

A. It requires mothers to keep their identity open.

B. It bans parents from abandoning their children.

C. It forbids the establishment of baby hatches in Germany.

D. It gives abandoned babies the chance to know their origins.

70. The text mainly talks about .

A. the debate about baby hatches

B. the popularity of baby hatches.

C. the alternative to baby hatches.

D. the importance of baby hatches.

第二节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks around the world. There are different types of coffee. Experts claim that there are more flavors of coffee than there are of wine. Coffee contains caffeine, an element(成分)that raise our awareness, keeps us from falling asleep or simply gives us kick in the morning or after lunch.

But experts are still undecided on how healthy coffee is. For a long time doctors have told people not to drink too much coffee, because it may lead to heart problems, high blood pressure,

insomnia and headaches.

Scientists have now found out that it is the quality of coffee and the way it is brewed(冲泡) that holds the key to our health. Elderly people in Greece live longer than normal. Among other things, this is linked to the consumption of a strong brew of coffee. Experts also point out that different roasts and types of coffee beans have different effects on our health.

A new study by a Harvard research group says that there is no link between coffee and health problems. Drinking several cups of coffee a day is not connected with heart diseases. Doctors, however, warn against drinking too much coffee, as it can lead to stomach problems.

Coffee has many advantages, as the new study suggests. While alcohol makes people sleepy and slow-moving, coffee makes them feel dynamic. Getting together for a cup of coffee a day is not connected with heart diseases.

Although a lot still needs to be uncovered about coffee, it seems to reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes. Reporters show that people who drink coffee may develop Parkinson?s disease later in life, or maybe not at all.

81. What does the underlined word “kick” in paragraph 1 probably mean? (No more than 5 words)

82. According to scientists, what mainly affects our health in regard to coffee? (No more than 15words)

83. What does the Harvard research group find? (No more than 10 words)

85. Do you like drinking coffee? Why? (No more than 15 words)

My Senior High School Life

I am a 17-year-old high school junior. At first, I didn?t a djust myself well to the senior high school life. Obviously, it is quite different from junior high school life.

In spite of the stress in learning, never have I given up my dream. Determined to enter a key university, I have been making efforts to improve myself. Moreover, senior high school life can be colorful as well. There are a variety of afterschool activities, I always involve myself in them actively. All in all, I gradually enjoy this new life.
