8、nd from cave paintings to Shakespeares Globe Theatre to Hollywood films, the methods of telling them have got more and more complex.In the 1960s, a new storytelling art form appeared-the urban legend (都市传奇).Even if youve never heard the term, youve certainly heard an urban legend. What about the sto
9、ry of the unwanted pet alligators that were rushed down the toilet and are now living in the underground tubes of New York City? Or a man who woke up in the yard and saw a note informing him that his house had been stolen?One of the key features of the urban legend is its lack of an author. The stor
10、ies appear mysteriously and are then passed on by word of mouth. And, although we know these mini-stories of horror, humour and awkwardness are almost certainly not true, part of us wants to believe them.Then the Internet, which is packed with stories (everything from jokes to the latest books from
11、top-selling authors), helped create and spread urban legends. Before the Internet, urban legends went around quite slowly. They took time to reach a larger audience. The Internet changed all that almost overnight.The Internet is the perfect vehicle for the urban legend, for it not only allows the st
12、ories to spread much faster but it allows for greater anonymity, tooa lot of what we read online doesnt have an authors name attached to it. This anonymity adds to the overall mystery.Of course, the Internet also allows you to check the truth of a story more easily. Over time, a number of sites have
13、 appeared which collect stories, find out the truth about their origins and report the results. Often there isnt any truth to the story at all. But sometimes the urban legend grew from something that did actually happen. Because of the Internet, learning about the origins of an urban legend can be a

It is more fun to find its origin compared with the story itself.D. People like to discover whether urban legends are true or not.DWhere Did Music Come
17、From?Look anywhere and youll find music. Without a single exception, every culture produces some form of it. Yet musics origin remains one of the great secrets of human history.The oldest known instruments are 42,000-year-old bone flutes discovered in caves in Germany. Music surely appeared earlier,
18、 but the problem is that music doesnt fossilize and our brains dont fossilize. With little hard evidence, scientists still discuss what evolutionary purpose music serves or whether it serves any purpose at all.For many years, music researchers have more or less settled into two camps: those who beli
19、evethe evolution of music is a biological adaptation, and those who believe its a cultural invention. In the latter argument, the music we love dearly is no more than auditory cheesecake”，as evolutionary scientist Steven Pinker said. Rather than a biological adaptation in its own right, music is a p
20、leasing byproduct of other adaptations, like language. tAs far as biological cause and effect are concerned, music is useless J Pinker said. “Music could disappear from our mankind and the rest of our lifestyle would be absolutely unchanged.”Some found this conclusion too dismissive. After all, the
21、capacity to make and enjoy music seems rooted in each of us, just like other valuable adaptations. These days music is a profession, but even ordinary people who never had a music lesson have implicit knowledge of the structure of the music of their culture,says Sandra Trehub, a scientist at the Uni
22、versity of Toronto. Whats more, Trehub studies music sense in babies. They are strongly attracted to music, and they can even remember music months after hearing it. You see these amazing abilities/7 she says, and you have to think that there is a biological foundation fbr it.”That doesnt necessaril
23、y mean we evolved that foundation for music, but many scientists have offered explanations for why we might have. Some argue music is a system for social relationships, helping us to exist together in united, well-functioning groups. Another possibility is that music originates from the relaxing sou
24、nds parents make to communicate with babies. Some researchers even argue that the earliest form of music may have given rise to language itself. Others think that music and language share a common ancestor.Some have sought a way around the adaptation-invention difference. A musicologist Savage and h
25、is group tell the difference between music (a cultural product) and musicality (a biological foundation that allows us to create and appreciate music). This alone doesnt explain the final origin of music, but it does allow room for both nature and nurture. They suggest that cultural music and biolog
26、ical musicality have developed together, in a kind of “gene-culture evolution”.39. People who see music as a cultural product believe that.A. lifestyles of people change greatly without musicmusic is just a little more attractive than a tasty cheesecakeB. music is an unexpected result of certain bio
27、logical adaptationsmusic serves the purpose of evolving in response to their surroundings 42. According to the passage, Sandra Trehub believes that.A. babies are able to memorise music after hearing it for monthsbabies are better at recognising musical differences than adultsB. people without musica

At the time, France was fighting with the Italian army in
38、 a war against Austria. However, he needed the help of Napoleon III for one of his business deals. Dunant knew that Napoleon III would be with his army in northern Italy, so he travelled to the city of Solferino to look for him.Dunant arrived on the night of 24 June and found a battlefield filled wi
39、th 40,000 dead and wounded soldiers. Dunant was horrified by the scene and was filled with compassion for the wounded men. At once, Dunant began attending to the wounded men. In the days that followed, he led local people in helping take care of the wounded and dying. They looked after the soldiers
40、without regard to country or uniform, saying, “All are brothers!,9When Dunant returned to Switzerland the following month, he wrote a book about his experience called A Memory ofSolferino. Within the book, he described the battle, its costs, and the chaotic circumstances afterwards. He also develope
41、d the idea that in the future, a neutral organization should exist to provide care to wounded soldiers. Dunant began to travel through Europe to distribute the book and promote his ideas. His book was largely positively received. This eventually led to the forming of the International Committee of t

While the Red Cross is mostly tasked with helping people in
43、 times of war, it also responds to natural disasters and gives aid to people who have to leave their homes. For example, the Red Cross provided aid and relief after the May 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan, China.Dunant himself gave up everything to save the world. His business failed because he
44、was too busy with his work in the Red Cross. Then Dunant had to leave the Red Cross because of a personal conflict. Despite this, he continued to work as a volunteer, helping provide relief to people caught up in war. In the end, he lost all his money, fell ill, and had to be taken in by a charity.
45、By this time, the Red Cross had become famous, but he was mostly forgotten. In the last years of his life, though, he was discovered by a newspaper reporter. From then on, he was celebrated around the world as the man responsible for saving many thousands of lives. Though he is long gone, his spirit
