There was a group of people who took the same bus every morning into the city． No one ever talked to each other．
One morning, an old man who was usually sad and alone got on the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice: “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up and said “good morning”．
Over the following weeks, our new friend came dressed in an old suit and tie． He said good morning to us every day and we all gradually began to talk to each other more．
One morning he had a bunch of flowers in his hand． The driver turned around and asked: “Do you have a girlfriend, Charlie?” He nodded shyly and said yes．
The other passengers cheered and clapped． Charlie smiled and sat down．
Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers． Some passengers even brought flowers for his bouquet (花束)． Everyone was happy and became friends．
But one morning Charlie wasn’t waiting at his stop． And he wasn’t there for the next few days．When the bus came to the senior center(老年活动中心), one of the passengers asked the driver to wait while she went in． The staff said that the elderly gentleman was fine． But one of his close friends had died over the weekend．
Next Monday, Charlie was waiting at the stop, looking very sad． We were silent as he walked onto the bus． No one mentioned his friend, but we each handed him a bunch of flowers． We wanted to be there for this man who had brought us together that summer．
49．What does the underlined word “gradually” mean in English?

Do you often listen to music at loud volumes? You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing, according to the World Health Organization (WHO)．
Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noise for long periods of time, said WHO． Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing．
The United Nations has standards for safe listening． It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels (dB, 分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes． The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB．
Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear (内耳)． Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells (听毛细胞) in our inner ears． These cells detect (探测) sounds． However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die． This is what causes hearing loss．
Some people might think that their music isn’t all that loud． But this can depend on where you are． For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it． Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable．
WHO said the “safe level” for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week． A level of 80 decibels is roughly equal to the noise of a subway．
52．According to WHO’s advice, it is NOT safe to _____．
A． listen to music every day B． watch TV for over an hour
C． go to a rock concert with headphones on D． listen to loud sounds for a long time
53． The sound level of a busy road is about _____．
A． 15 dB B． 100 dB C． 85 dB D． 115 dB
54． Listening to loud music causes hearing problems because _____．
A． it puts our brains under great pressure B． it causes hair cells in the inner ear to die
C． it prevents our ears from resting D． people will get used to listening to loud sounds
55． What does the fifth paragraph tell us?
A． People don’t always realize how loud their environment is．
B． It’s likely you listen to loud music in noisy places．
C． People are likely to listen to music on the subway．
D． People love to listen to loud music．
B．阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有一项是多余的。(共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，计 10 分)
“Cool” is a word with many meanings． 56 It is often used to describe autumn． As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings．
57 And it can often be heard in teenagers’ talks．
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you can’t help saying, “How cool!” 58
We all amplify (扩大) the meaning of “cool”． You can use it instead of many words such as “new”, “wonderful”, or “surprising”． 59 A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited． On one student’s paper was just one sentence, “It’s so cool．” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt．
60 Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning． So it is necessary to improve our word strength to keep some richness． Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can． And I think they are also very cool．
