The research was carried out because of a very personal experience. Sunitha Suresh was a college student when her grandmother had major surgery and was put in intensive care (重症监护).This meant her family couldnt always be with her. They decided to put her favorite music on an iPod so she could listen around the clock. It was very calming, Suresh says. “She knew that someone who loved her had left that music for her and she was in a familiar place.” Suresh could see that the music relaxed her grandmother and made her feel less anxious, but she wondered if she also felt less pain. That would make sense, because anxiety can make people more vulnerable (脆弱的）to pain. At the time Suresh was majoring in biomedical engineering with a minor (兼修）in music cognition (认知）at Northwestern University where her father, Sanlhanam Suresh, is a professor of anesthesiology (麻醉）and pediatrics (儿科). So the father and daughter decided to do a study. And since Dr Suresh works with children, they decided to look at how music chosen by the children themselves might affect their tolerance for pain. It was a small study, involving 60 patients between 9 and 14 years old. All the patients were undergoing big operations that required them to stay in the hospital for at least a couple of days. Right after surgery, patients received narcotics (麻醉药）to control pain. The next day they were divided into three groups. One group heard 30 minutes of music of their choice, one heard 30 minutes of stories of their choice and one listened to 30. minutes of silence via noise cancelingheadphones (降噪耳机). After a 30-minute period, the children who listened to music or books reduced their pain burden by 1 point on a 10-point scale. That might not sound like much, but Sunitha Suresh says its the equivalent (相等物）of taking an over-the-counter pain medication like Advil or Tylenol. The findings suggest that doctors may be able to use less pain medication for their pediatric patients. And thats a good thing, says Santhanam Suresh, as children are smaller and are more likely to suffer side effects. So the less pain medication, he says, the better.48. what inspired Sunitha Suresh to do the research on the effects of music? A. Her fathers study into music cognition. B. Her grandmothers experience of recovery. C. Her desire to find a new way to help patients relieve pain. D. A book that claims anxiety can make people more vulnerable to Pain-49. During the research, the participants . A. were all patients under 12 years old B. received narcotics to control pain after surgeries C. were required to stay in the hospital for a couple of months D. were divided into three groups to listen to three different kinds of music50. What did Suresh and her rather find out from their research? A. Books didnt reduce the childrens pain burden ay all. B. Music was even more effective than pain medication for the children. C. Music did reduce the childrens pain burden to a certain decree. D. The longer the children listened to music, the less pain they felt.51. It can be inferred from the text that_ . A. children are more sensitive to music than adults B. children can easily get addicted to pain medication C. children are more likely to suffer from the side effects of pain medication D. children may be treated by bining medication and music to reduce their painC We live in a time when technology has enabled everyone to be a journalist, yet not everyone has the proper training. Whether out of ignorance or out of a sense of honor, some of the journalism online has done a better job of changing public opinion than showing the whole truth. Two recent stories are perfect reminders of the difference between the urge to change minds and basic journalism ethics (进德观). “A college kid took some birds from a nearby tree and was sentenced to 10 years in prison,” went a recent online headline from the Chinese Internet. The acpanying vote showed that 85 percent of respondents supported the student. Some joked that most boys would be guilty of such a crime because everyone had stolen birds when they were children. But it was not mentioned in the original report that the birds taken away were falcons, which are on the nations list of protected, endangered species (物种)_ Birdwatchers also said that it was unlikely Yan Xiaotian，the 21-year-old defendant (被告)，had found the 12 birds in one tree. For this particular species, he had to search a much larger area. For me, the most important questions are: Did he know it was illegal before he took the birds and did he know that before he sold them? Follow-up reporting has found that the evidence showed that Yan knew what he was doing. The only point of uncertainty is the very first time he took the first birds when he could be unaware of their status and value. As a matter of fact, the prosecutor (公诉人）started out asking for a light punishment, but took a U-turn when data from Yans cellphone clearly showed that he had stolen them. The punishment, while sounding severe, followed the law almost to the letter. The court has since said it would review the case, a sign of giving in to public pressure. Lets look at the second story, which can be read as either “Elderly man had to walk in his shorts for hours in Sanya after his bike was taken by the citys quasi-police”（城管）or “Retired official illegally parked his bike for a swim and made the city apologize and fire a low-paid city management staff member”. Both played up different parts of the same story. For me, Bi Guochangs age and former official title are not related to the case. The key is whether he indeed parked his bike illegally and whether proper procedures were being followed by taking it away and making him get it back. Yet the reports focused on the image of an old man walking only in his shorts. He could have phoned his family for backup or taken a taxi home first before plaining, as most would do in that situation. Such stories read like badly-written morality tales, with everything in black and white and a simple yes-or-no message. Real life is much more plicated. Reporters have to be neutral and avoid taking sides too early.52. The main purpose of the article is . A. to show that there is an urgent need to change current journalism ethics B. to prove that everyone can be a good journalist even without proper training C. to suggest that journalists should remain neutral and have basic ethics D. to remind journalists that they can change the publics opinions53. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the college student who was sentenced to prison, according to the article? A. He took some birds from a nearby tree and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. B. He didnt know that he was breaking the law when he took the birds. C. It is highly possible that he took the 12 birds from different trees. D. He had no idea that the birds he caught were actually falcons.54. What does the underlined phrase “followed the law almost to the letter” suggest? A. The judges had followed the law strictly. B. The punishment was too much for the student. C. The student didnt get fair treatment from the judges. D. There was almost nothing written in the law about this type of crime.55. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Two morality stories B.How to be a journalist C. Unfair punishment D.Telling truth or taking sides第二卷（共55分）注意事项：请将第二卷上的答案写在答题纸上！五、任务型阅读（共10空，每小题1分，满分10分） 认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空一词。 Being social animals, human groups live all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas which form different cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time. Time is not very important in non-industrial societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such non-industrial societies
