And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other i

11、nstruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience，researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help

12、 people discover changes in pitch(音调).One of the studys authors，Nina Kraus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”.This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs，Dr. Kraus said. She said mus

13、ic training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A singlesyllable word ca

14、n have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study，the researchers looked at 20 nonChinese speaking volunteers，half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie，the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the M

15、andarin word “mi” in three of its meanings:squint，bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the stud

16、y，Patrick CM.Wong，said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.1、When learning Chinese，a foreigner will find _.Ahe has a difficult time learning music at the same timeBhe has an easier time learning music at the same timeCit i

20、re owner, has been San Franciscos honored poet. He turns 100 this month, and the city is making preparations to celebrate him in style.

21、born in Yonkers, New York. After spending his early childhood in France, he received his BA from the University of North Carolina, an MA from Columbia University, and a PhD from the Sorbonne.He is the author of more than thirty books of poetry, including Poetry as Insurgent Art; A Coney Island of th

22、e Mind. He has translated the works of a number of poets, including Nicanor Parra, Jacques Prevert, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. In addition to poetry, he is also the author of more than eight plays and three novels, including Little Boy: A Novel, Love in the Days of Rage and Her.In 1953, Ferlinghetti a

23、nd Peter Martin opened the City Lights bookstore in San Francisco, California. It became a nerve center for the Beats and other writers. Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and other writers from that era were Easterners who dropped into San Francisco for a spell. In 2001 it was made an official historic l

24、andmark. Now City Lights is almost certainly the best bookstore in the United States. Its filled with serious world literature of all kinds.If City Lights is a San Francisco institution, Ferlinghetti himself is as much of one. He has loomed over the citys literary life. As a poet, hes never been a c

25、ritical favorite. But his flexible and plain-spoken and often powerful work he has published more than 50 volumes has found a wide audience.

Many of those jobs require technical skills. However, employers say many of those jobs are vacant because they cannot find people with the

29、right skills. Labor experts call this paradox the skills gap. A number of efforts have been launched to better understand and solve it.Nicholas Wyman wrote a book called, “Job U: How to Find Wealth and Success by Developing the Skills Companies Actually Need.” He calls the skills gap, “a labor marke

30、t mismatch people without jobs and jobs without people.”In the United States, the cost of a traditional four-year college can be very high. U.S. colleges and universities produce many graduates every year. Yet unemployment rates among new graduates are high.Nicholas Wyman says a combination of techn

31、ical classes and on-the-job training an apprenticeship (学徒) would be a better choice for many people. He notes that, “An apprenticeship is where you learn from a specialist, you are provided guidance and you learn in an on-the-job environment. It is vital to get technical skills that are of immediat

32、e value to an employer. And it is important to get transferrable skills because technology and the nature of the workplace are changing at a faster rate than before.”There are questions about the definition, size, and nature of the skills gap in the labor force. Iowa State University researchers stu

33、died some of these questions recently. They examined employment, education and population information, and found the evidence of a skills gap is weak.Iowa States Liesl Eathington noted that many policymakers and employers say there is opportunity in “middle skills” areas, like machining. Yet she sai

34、d the most recent recession (经济衰退) hit some of those job areas hard. She said students should be on guard because “our economy really isnt adding that many jobs that require the middle skills.”She said employers could get more well-qualified applicants if they offered higher wages. She noted that gr

35、aduates of two-year training programs still generally make less money than graduates of four-year colleges.The question of finding the night person for the right job remains a difficult one. The Department of Labor says 8.7 million Armenians are unemployed and another 6.7 million can find only part-

Now there seems to be more positive newsthis time about the coral in our oceans whose po

39、pulation has been severely affected in last few decades by rising temperatures, disease and human carelessness.Coral reefs as you probably know are not just colorful calcium carbonate(钙碳酸盐)structures that provide shelter to a wonderful number of fish, but also a close relationship or partnership bet

40、ween coral polyps(珊瑚虫) and single celled living things called zooxanthellae(虫黄藻). The coral polyps give the zooxanthellae a home and in return the later provide the coral polyps with their vivid color and food. They support each other in a fantastic balance, one that is getting severely damaged by t

41、he rising temperatures which are causing the coral polyps to reject their zooxanthellae friends, removing their color and food source.Scientists estimate the phenomenon of rising temperatures combined with disease has destroyed the coral reef population by more than 80%. It is therefore no wonder th

42、at scientists all over the world are looking for solutions to try to restore this all important link to sea life. However, while human efforts like planting the coral again have been somewhat successful, they are not enough to replace all the coral that has been dying due to climate change. That is

43、probably why reports by various researchers about certain types of coral being able to not only survive the changing ocean conditions, but also thrive in it, are being met with such enthusiasm. The most recent findings show that despite higher temperatures the coral reefs seem to be thriving.These f

44、indings are consistent with the lab research conducted by the scientists who tried growing different varieties of coral in waters with higher temperature to see how they would react. They were surprised to discover that most of them survived and some seemed to adapt and grow normally. Encouraged by

45、these and other similar findings, more energetic species have been introduced to see if coral reefs can be restored to their former glory. A program is busy analyzing the worlds oceans to find more varieties that can be used for this same purposeHowever, we are not out of the woods yet! Scientists a

46、re still not sure how they would introduce these varieties to areas where they are not abundant and more importantly what the consequences would be on the surrounding sea life. Hopefully, the combination of new scientific research and fewer human mistakes will allow our beautiful coral to thrive aga

48、rlined words in Paragraph 4 mean _.Ato allow coral reefs to thrive againBto find more varieties of coralCto survive the changing ocean conditionsDto see how coral reacts in higher temperature3、We can infer from the passage that _.Aclimate change has the same effect on both ancient trees and coralBre

49、planting the coral can solve the problem of coral reefs decreaseCvarious researchers are interested in the reports on the changing ocean conditionsDthe lab research has encouraged scientists to restore coral reefs to their former glory25（10分）In addition to being a financial success, Disneyland was a

50、 personal satisfaction to his founder Walt Disney. It expressed his ideas of all that is true and good and beautiful in this world. He never was tired of visiting the park himself, of expanding it and improving it. Even today, Disneyland is kept spotless. Every night, each street and walkway is wash

51、ed, and workers with knives get down on their hands and knees to scrape (刮，擦) up chewing gum that has been dropped by visitors. (Visitors to the park are called “guests” never “customers”) Every year, some 800,000 plants are replaced because Disney refused to put up signs asking his “guests” not to

52、step on them. All of this has reduced the profits, but it adds immeasurably to the attraction of the park. Undoubtedly it helps explain why an amazing fifty percent of the people who enter Disneylands gates have been there before.The parks general design contributes to the visitors pleasure. There a

53、re plenty of shade trees, much grass, and lots of cool water in ponds and lakes and riversall man-made. The park is divided into five sections. In one section, the visitor walks along an American Main Street as Disney remembered from his childhood. Another section (Tomorrow land) shows the world of

54、the future. A third, Adventure land, satisfies the universal love of exploration. Still another, Fantasyland, takes the visitor into the dreamlike worlds made famous by Disney films. Finally there is Frontier land, which represents the Old west. It is possible, in a single day, to visit in imaginati

55、on every continent and almost every historical period. There is something for every group.Most of what has been said about Disneyland is also true of Walt Disney World. This is a second huge amusement park outside of Orlando, Florida, designed to thrill east-coast visitors as Disneyland has thrilled

56、 those in the west. Millions of children and adults have visited its Main Street, Magic Kingdom, and other unforgettable attractions.1、From the 1st paragraph we learn that .ADisneyland is rather wasteful in that it often replaced the destroyed plantsBmany peoples visiting Disneyland again shows that

57、 its a nonprofitable placeCDisneyland is mainly the realization of the values of its founderDDisneyland is well kept in order to earn maximum profits2、Visitors to Disneyland .Athrow rubbish at random Bcan step on the plantsCare mostly self-centered Dnever care about its efforts3、If you want to get s
