The study, published in Psychology and Aging, carried out hearing

11、 tests on 74 adult musicians and 89 non-musicians. It found a 70-year-old musicians hearing was as good as that of a 50-year-old who did not play.Hearing normally declines as people age. By 60, 10-30% of people have moderate hearing loss. By 80, that goes up to as many as 60%. Problems are particula

12、rly seen in the central auditory (听觉的) processing system, which is associated with understanding speech, especially when there is background noise.Previous studies have shown musicians have better hearing than non-players. But this research, by a team at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, loo

13、ked at adults of all ages - from 3 to 91 - to see how people were affected as they aged. They carried out hearing tests on 74 amateur and professional musicians (who had played since the age of 1, were still practising and had been given formal music lessons) and 89 non-musicians (who had never play

14、ed an instrument). Musicians were significantly better at picking out speech against noise.The researchers suggest that lifelong musicianship reduces age-related changes in the brain, probably due to musicians using their auditory systems at a high level on a regular basis.The head of biomedical res

15、earch at Action on Hearing Loss, Dr Ralph Holme, said: “While this study suggests that musicians might be more able to cope with the consequences of hearing loss, it is far better to reduce damage in the first place by using appropriate ear protection. We have always campaingned for everyone who pla

16、ys a musical instrument or listens to loud music to wear hearing protection, like earplugs, which reduce the risk of damaging your hearing permanently.”1、What can we learn from Paragraph 2?AA person aged 80 will lose 30% hearing.BA person aged above 60 must have bad hearing.CPeople have fewer proble

18、 out speech against noise as non-musicians.3、Why dont musicians change much in their brain as they age?AThey like to take more exercise.BThey use their hearing more and regularly.CThey dont expose themselves to background noise.DThey pay more attention to protecting their hearing.4、How can we deal w

20、 research on hearing22（8分） Both honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they

21、work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist of Stanford University, says, “Ants arent smart. Ant colonies are.” The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have s

22、imilar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity of learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of colony know

23、 how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send message to each other by means of a “dance”. Different speeds and move

24、ments send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new hoe for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance the better the new location is.Hone

25、ybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of “sameness” and “difference” to accomplish certain tasks

26、. Ants take this one step further. Recent America research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.

27、As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they

28、go about their everyday activities.1、What do ants and bees have in common?AThey make use of collective intelligence.BThey live in similar-sized colonies.CThey have small leadership groups that make all decisions.DThey use the same method to communicate with each other.2、What docs the speed of a bees

29、 dance indicate?AThe distance to a neighboring colony.BThe quality of a new colony location.CThe discovery of a new food source.DThe direction to a potential food source.3、In paragraph 3, how docs the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?ABy using statisti

30、cs.BBy explaining reason.CBy presenting study findings.DBy stating opinions.4、What does the underlined part “foraging skills” refer to in the third Paragraph?AThe skills of communicating.BThe skills of sacking food.CThe skills of leaning.DThe skills of finding a new home.23（8分） “Anything you want, a

31、nytime you need it.”The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time, on the same day: December 12th, at 12 p.m. Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found

32、 its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the cards and

33、 said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytimes marketing had worked it was a household name before itd even made a single sale.When the openi

34、ng came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, “What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service

35、. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a s

36、mall country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories sud

37、denly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had mo

38、re than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m.When he w

39、oke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stop making trouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.1、What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?AAn invitation to a company opening.BThe website address o

40、f a new company.CThe words “Anytime: Starting tomorrow”.DThe words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”.2、Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?ABecause it didnt have enough money for traditional advertising.BBecause it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.C

41、So the reporters would write stories about the new company.DSo people would find the new company interesting.3、What did Chris s research suggest about Anytime?AIt may be very dangerous.BIts popularity would soon decrease.CIt was doing business all over the world.DIt was being widely criticised by jo

42、urnalists.4、How did Chris feel at the end of the story?AScared that he would get into trouble.BConfident that he would find the truth.CNervous about what the company would do.DSatisfied that he had discovered the companys secret.24（8分）Dormitory management officials in universities say that lately th

43、ey are noticing something different: students seem to lack the will and skill to address their ordinary conflicts. “We have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in the same room,” says a teacher. “So many of our roommate conflicts are because kids dont know how to negotiate.”A

44、nd as many psychologists will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent unhappiness that can boil over into frustration and anger. “At Florida University, emotional outbreaks occur about once a week,” the dormitory director says. “It used to be: Lets sit down and talk about it,” he says. “Recently,

45、roommate conflicts have increased. The students dont have the person-to-person discussions and they dont know how to handle them.” The problem is most impressive among freshmen; dormitory officials say some students even never seem to catch on till graduation, and they worry about how such students

46、will deal with conflicts after college.Administrators suppose that relying on cell phones and the Internet may have made it easier for young people to avoid uncomfortable meetings. Why express anger in person when you can do it in a text? Facebook makes the situation worse as complaints go public. “

47、Things are posted on someones wall on Facebook: Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz, an assistant director in the housing office at California University. “Its a different way to express their conflicts to each other.” In recent group discussions at North Carolina State Un

48、iversity, students said they would not even accuse the noisy neighbors on their floor face to face.Administrators also point to parents who have fixed their childrens problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Would these parents

49、continue to take care of everything on campus?1、What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?ATo greet someone with a title or name. BTo start trying to solve a problem.CTo put an address on an envelope. DTo make a formal speech.2、Which of the following is NOT TRUE according

50、to the passage?AStudents handled it directly when they were in conflict.BParents are the main factor to make their children lose the skills.CCellphones are to blame in the students conflicts in their dormitories.DUnhappy and cornered emotions resulted in quarrels between students once a week.3、What

51、do we learn from the group discussions at North Carolina State University?AStudents are always angry with each other.BStudents have to bear noises from neighbors.CStudents may be not good at negotiating in person.DStudents are brought up self-centered.4、Which of the following can be the best title f

52、or the passage?AStudents Unhappy Life in University BParents Attention in Childrens LifeCStudents Failure to Deal with Conflicts DTeachers Concerns about Students25（10分） The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the last five years, a large number of clothing comp

53、anies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric(织物）to deal with plastic pollution. But theres a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, ha

54、s been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic(合成的)clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines cant collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, mic

55、rofibers are entering the sewers（下水道）and finally end up in the sea.In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to exa

56、mine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants.Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies

57、 and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that hes had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Designhi

58、s research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didnt get a satisfying answer. Only one womens clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.1、What has happened during the past five years?AFabric has become much st

59、ronger.BPlastic pollution has been less serious.CMany plastic wastes have been reused.DMicrofibers have been greatly improved.2、What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes?AIt is adding microfibers to the clothes.BIt is worsening environmental problems.CIt is making synthetic clothes last lo

60、nger.DIt is doing great damage to washing machines.3、What can be inferred about Brownes Benign by Design research project?AIt has achieved great success.BIt hasnt got anything done.CIt is known to very few people.DIt is facing some difficulties.4、Whats the best title for the text?AIts important to l
