d a website b b the alexander technique until earlier this year i didn t know anything about the alexander technique and saw no reason to think i should one day the backache i regularly suffered was more painful i was brought up to think that the preferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope they ll go away but i eventually went to the doctor after examining me he said you actually have bad posture 姿势 go off and learn the alexander technique three months later i could walk straighter and sit better the alexander technique is a way of learning how you can get rid of harmful tension in your body the teaching focuses on the neck head and back it trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort there is little effort in the lessons themselves which sets apart the alexander technique from yoga or pilates which are exercise based a typical lesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to sit and stand with minimum effort you spend some time lying on a bench with your knees bent to straighten the spine 脊椎 and relax your body while the teacher moves your arms and legs to train you to move them correctly the technique helps to break the bad habits accumulated over years try folding your arms the opposite way to normal this is an example of a habit the body has formed which can be hard to break many of us carry our heads too far back the head weighs four to six kilos so any inappropriate posture can cause problems for the body the technique teaches you to let go of the muscles 6 holding the head back allowing it to go back to its natural place on the top of our spines so who was alexander and how did he come up with the technique frederick alexander an australian actor born in 1869 found in his youth that he had vocal 声音的 problems during performances he analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad he worked on improving it with excellent results he brought his technique to london and opened a teacher training school which is still successful today so if you re walking along the road one day with shoulders bent forward feeling weighed down by your troubles give a thought to the alexander technique it will help you walk tall again 24 what does the author suggest in paragraph 1 a she felt no better after the treatment b she got bored with the alexander technique c she was sceptical about the doctor s method d she was unwilling to seek treatment for her backache 25 what is the principle of the alexander technique a physical tension shouldn t be completely relieved b the technique shouldn t be combined with other exercises c the practice of the technique shouldn t be attempted alone d familiar physical actions shouldn t be done with much effort 26 what can we learn about frederick alexander a he managed to recover his vocal powers b he was eager to make a name for himself c he developed a form of exercise for actors d he had to leave home to develop his technique 27 what is the main idea of the passage a the occurrence of back pain is widespread b alexander improved the technique to treat body pain c the alexander technique helps overcome posture problems 7 d people with back pain are victims of inappropriate postures c c the problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don t know by next year half of the calls we receive will be scams 欺诈 we are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through unfortunately it s too little too late by the time these solutions 解决方案 become widely available scammers will have moved onto cleverer means in the near future it s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt soon you will also question whether the voice you re hearing is actually real that s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation 处理 and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use at this year s i o conference a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection these developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse the reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision a decade of data breaches 数据侵入 of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother s name and far more armed with this knowledge they re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people this means for example that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller s ricking you into confirming your address mother s name and card number scammers follow money so companies will be the worst hit a lot of business is still done over the phone and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually we need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks phone 8 carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real that might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images showing when and who they were made by or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data based communications using apps like face time or whatsapp which can be tied to your identity credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose and the problem is only going to harder from here on out 28 how does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robecalls a panicked b confused c embarrassed d disappointed 29 taking advantage of the new technologies scammer can a aim at victims preciselyb damage databases easily c start campaigns rapidlyd spread information widely 30 what does the passage imply a honesty is the best policy b technologies can be double edited c there are more solutions than problems d credibility holds the key to development 31 which of the following would be the best title for the passage a where the problem of robocalls is rooted b who is to blame for the problem of roboealls c why robocalls are about to get more dangerous d how robocalls are affecting the world of technology d d many of us listen to music while we work thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand and in fact recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity when it comes to other areas of performance however the impact of background music is more complicated the idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so called mozart effect put simply this is the finding that spatial rotation performance 空间旋转能力 is increased immediately after listening to the music of mozart compared to no sound at all 9 how sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect to study irrelevant sound effect participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them the tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation first the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities 复述能力 and second the sound must contain acoustical variation 声 学变化 where the sound does not vary much acoustically the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions the irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same time one from the task and one from the sound unfortunately only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task and the effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders 阻碍 this ability a similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music in this situation the two sources of words from the task and the sound are in conflict the cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics what this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the type of music and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels 32 mozart effect is mentioned to a explain how music can relax peopleb show music can improve performance c advise people to listen to mozart musicd stress mozart music gains wide attention 33 it can be inferred that participants in the research 10 a have improved their rehearsal abilityb perform better in the quiet conditions c ignore the background noise successfully d prefer the music with great sound variation 34 paragraph 6 is written to a support an ideab make a contrast c introduce a topicd describe a fact 35 what is the best title for the passage a music shapes your lifeb music develops your creativity c choose quiet music for your workd does music make you concentrate 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 选项中有两项为多 余选项 rivers play an important role on the earth and we can t imagine what the earth would be like
