A. learn B. learning C. learns D. learned
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：明年我打算再学一门外语。

A. gift B. idea C. bottle D. chance
【答案】D
【解析】

考查there be句型。根据关键词“there”和“in this natural park”可知，此题是there be结构，且时态用一般现在时态。a number of birds和small animals是两个并列的主语，此结构遵循“就近原则”，a number of birds”许多鸟类”是复数名词，因此be用are形式。故选D。

“Without music, life would be a mistake,” German philosopher (哲学家) Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets (预算).
For example, Chicago Public Schools hurt arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested.
However, learning music is beneficial in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode (解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.

【导语】本文主要讲述了大多数人都有工作，他们几乎每天去上班。有些人幸运，工作很有趣，赚了很多钱；但大多数人没那么幸运，要么他们的工作不是很有趣，要么他们赚不了很多钱，最有趣的工作往往是最困难的。一些年轻人进行有趣的高薪工作，但老年人不能很好的进行这些工作，不过高尔夫对老年人来说是一项很好的运动。大多数人工作到60或65岁就退休了，但作家、艺术家、科学家和演员通常工作到死，他们的工作就是他们的生活。
【62题详解】

“Without music, life would be a mistake,” German philosopher (哲学家) Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets (预算).
For example, Chicago Public Schools hurt arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested.
However, learning music is beneficial in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode (解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.

Bi Sheng was born in the Song Dynasty. He lived in a small village which lies in Huanggang today. He invented the printing around 600 AD (公元). He was the world’s first inventor of the printing. It is about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany.
The printing is also called the movable type printing. But how did it work in the past
First of all, the clay was made into movable types. Then words were engraved carefully onto the types. After that the words were chosen and put in right order in a box according to the text. Next, the workers brushed ink onto the movable types. Finally the types could be used for printing. They could be used again and again for different books.
The movable type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more culture communication among countries took place.
