The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decadesbut each secretly looks up to the other.

An electronic-book firm is adding background noises and music to the works of Charlotte Bronte, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Shakespeare in the hope of attracting younger readers. In one example, a description of rain lashing against a window in a Sherlock Holmes story will be “enhanced” with matching noises.The first multimedia e-books with sounds to accompany novels will be available this Friday in the UK. The Booktrack releases are available to iPad users, with other tablet computer versions to follow. The concept is already in use in the U.S., where the classics come with added sound effects. Readers for example can hear the china cups chinking in Mr. Darcys garden as they read Pride And Prejudice. A story by Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie will be released later in the year with a specially crafted orchestral score. Rushdies story In The South will be released with a soundtrack provided by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. The Power Of Six by Pittacus Lore, a novel for young adults, is one of the first to be tested with a soundtrack which builds in suspense in keeping with the plot. It works by timing the speed of each reader and the software measures the “turning” of a page and moves the music or sounds along accordingly. It has been created by Booktrack which synchronizes (使同步) music to each novel. It is funded by Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal. Mr. Thiel said, “Its always exciting to witness the creation of a new form of media. The technology promises to captivate readers in a different way.”However, they have been greeted with horror by traditionalists, who say the technology takes away the pleasure of having ones imagination stimulated by a story. They also raise the prospect (预期) of having to ask an overly eager reader to turn their book down. David Nicholls, whose bestseller One Day was recently turned into a film starring Anne Hathaway, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction.”28. Whats the purpose of the electronic-book firm adding sound effects to masterpieces? A. To add some creative factors to the e-books. B. To arouse interest of the readers. C. To satisfy the readers great need. D. To promote the technology progress.29. Where was the idea that sounds are added to accompany novels first put forward? A. Britain. B. Australia. C. New Zealand. D. America.30. The following should be done to make a soundtrack work, EXCEPT_. A. measuring how long each reader spends in reading B. increasing the volume of the music or sounds C. making out the reading speed D. changing the music or sounds with pages turned 31. Whats Mr. Thiel attitude to the future of the new form of media? A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Hopeful. D. Pessimistic.D I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one anothers hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 32. In this passage, the author wants to tell _. A. teenagers to try to pursue their real selves B. readers to try to be popular with people around C. parents to try to control and guide their children D. people to try to understand and respect each other33. The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _. A. growing away from their parents B. following the popularity trend C. walking a new way on their own D. turning to their friends for help34. The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _. A. the distractive and variable society B. the dazzling music world C. the parental care and love D. the popularity wave in the society 35. What does the author think of advertisements? A. Convincing. B. Instructive. C. Influential. D. Authoritative.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。When were young children, many of us seem to have little trouble making new friends. 36 . As adults, we tend to become more guarded with new people and have less time to devote to friendships. Consequently, most of us find it much harder to make new friends. If youve never experienced a close friendship, even as a child, you may find it even harder. But we all need and want good friends, even those of us who may sometimes pretend otherwise.
