Before her album “Come Away With Me” arrived, no one expected the quiet girl to take eight Grammies.On February 10, Jones returned with her long-awaited new album, “Feel like Home,” still without much publicity.For the talented young girl, following up the huge presentation isn’t much pressure: “I want people to like it, but I don’t expect it to do as well as the last one.” That was kind of strange. But I like this record; it’s sweet.Born on March 30, 1979 in New York City, Jones grew up in Dallas, Texas with her mother and thanks her for her musical style. “My mom had this eight-album Billie Holiday set. I picked out one disc I liked and played it over and over again.”Jones began playing the piano at seven and discovered singing while in high school. She majored in jazz piano at the University of North Texas for two years before taking a trip to New York City. The trip started out as just a summer trip away from college, but Jones quickly knew that she would not be leaving for a while.“The music scene is so huge. I found it very exciting. I especially enjoyed hearing amazing songwriters at places like ‘the Living Room.’ I just couldn’t leave.”She started visiting local songwriters and at last started a band with local song writer Jesse Harris and bassist Lee Alexander, who wrote most songs for “Come Away With Me” and “Feels Like Home.”“We’ve always done the music we like. I feel like we are all honest, the band and me, and that’s really all that matters,” Jones says.When aske d about the advantage of fame, Jones simply says, “I’ve got a nicer apartment now, but that’s about it.” She pauses a minute and amends that answer, “My old apartments was nice, too, though. I don’t want that owner to get mad.”24. The album “Come Away With Me”____________.A. made Norah Jones known to the public right after its release.B. isn’t well received.C. has won many honors for Norah Jones.D. sells well at home and abroad.25.

Norah Jones’ talents in singing were discovered ____________.A. by her mother when she was still young.B. at the age of sevenC. when she was studying in high school.D. after she took a trip to New York City27. The passage suggests Norah Jones ___________.A. cares more about others than herself.B. prefers to live in the old apartment rather than the new one.C. owes her success to her partners—Harris and Alexander.D. finds it pleasant to work with her band and songwriters.CA typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭子)and a chair .The whip get all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show .In reality , it’s the chair that does the important work .When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face , the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time .With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next .When faced with so many options(选择) , the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e g. lose weight, start a business, travel more ) –only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress ?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things , and so we take less action , make less progress , and stay the same when we could be improving .It doesn’t have to be that way .Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face , remember this :All you need to do is focus on one thing .You just need to get started .Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people .If you have somewhere you want to go , something you want to accomplish , someone you want to become ….take immediate action .If you’re clear about where you want to go , the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way .28. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To entertain the audience.B. To show off his skill.C. To get ready for a fight.D. To trick the lion29. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrong things.C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do something for show.30. What is th e author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3?A. TolerantB. DoubtfulC. RespectfulD. Supportive31. When the world is “waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to_____.A. wait for a better chanceB. break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidanceDIt is a question that has long puzzled scientists—exactly why are tigers orange? One might think it makes them more obvious-particularly against a leafy green forest background. William Blake summed it up in his famous poem known by generations of schoolchildren: “Tyger, tyger, burning bright / In the forest of the night.” But now the answer is at hand.While obvious to us, computer simulations (模拟) of what the big cats look to the main animals they hunt for, deer, show a different picture. Humans with normal colour vision, can see red, blue and green colours. But deer can only pick up blue and green light, they are effectively colourblind to the colour red, like some humans. It means the tigers’ orange colouration looks green to them, allowing them to mix perfectly into the background, new research claims.Dr John Fennell at the University of Bristol and colleagues said that they used computers to estimate how noticeable a given animal was. They did this by using images of the environment in which the animal lives, and then creating images to see whether the camouflage helps the animal to mix in.Dr Fennell writes that by simulat ing what the world looks like to animals who are “two-colour vision”—someone who cannot discover the difference between red and green—“we also identify the most suitable colours for hiding and visibility”.Dr Fennell writes in the Royal Society Journal Int er face: “Considering the coat of a tiger, it has fur that appears orange to a three-colour vision observer rather than some shade of green, though the latter should be more appropriate color for an attack hunter in forests. However, when viewed as a two-c olour vision observer, the tiger’s colour is very effective.”The question then arises as to why tigers don’t grow green coats. Dr Fennell and colleagues write that mammals (哺乳动物) are not able to produce green fur. To do so would “require a significant change to mammalian biochemistry”. There is only one mammal known to have green fur but this is achieved through what might be considered as, well, cheating, not exactly real.32. Why does the author mention the poem in paragraph 1?A. To arouse reader s interest in poems.B. To show the authors respect to the poet.C. To answer the question of the color of the tigerD. To stress the noticeable color of the tiger to us.33. What color is inexistent in the eyes of deer?A. Black.B. Red.C. Blue.D. Green.34. What does the underlined word “camouflage” mean in paragraph 3?A. The cover of something.B. The images of something.C. The way of hiding something.D. The way of hunting for something35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The colour of tigers sometimes cheats people.B. Getting green may prevent tigers from being extinct.C. There are no mammals with real green fur in the world.D. The tigers’ fur will probably evolve into green in the future.第二节（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。
