2014高考英语阅读理解精英练习题（6）及答案阅读理解however, this illegal sharing of musica form of music piracyis doing harm to the music industry. industry experts estimate that us $4.3 billion in worldwide sales was lost to music piracy last year. these lost profits could force record companies to stop producing the music of many popular artists. that would hurt both musicians and music fans alike.music producers are puzzled about how to fight music piracy. their efforts to fight piracy using the law have had only limited success. the music industry did win a legal victory against napster, a famous music website. the courts ordered napster to stop giving away copyrighted music from their site. but a number of other music-sharing networks have sprung up in its place.these new networks are made up of thousands, or even millions, of individuals. unlike napster, theres no one company controlling the distribution(发行) of music over each network. so its nearly impossible to stop the illegal activities.now people in the music industry have decided that “if you cant beat them, join them”. theyve begun to offer legal alternatives to online music piracy. major music producers have given companies like apple computer permission to sell their music online. apples itune music store allows computer users to legally download any song for 99 cents.will these new measures save the music industry from piracy? that depends on whether music fans are willing to pay 99 cents for a song that they can download illegally for free. unfortunately, many people believer music should be free. the music industry, however, hopes to persuade these music fans to change their tune.56.these text is written to_.a.discuss music piracy on the internetb.introduce the popularity of online musicc.persuade music fans to

city. this heavy traffic causes delays and lots of pollution from cars that are using their engines but not moving anywhere. many cars going nowhere is called a “traffic jam.”while many cities in the united states have traffic problems, some of the worst are in los angeles, california. los angeles is a big city with a large downtown area. one of the reasons why there is so much traffic is that few people use public transportation to get aroundexperts say one possible solution to the traffic problem in los angeles would be to makepeople want to use the public transportation system of buses instead of their own cars. people say the buses should be made easier, faster, less costly and more dependable than driving a car.one suggestion is to reduce the cost of riding the bus. people who usually drive their cars could save a lot of money on gas and parking costs. also, los angeles could make the buses easier for people to use. the buses could travel to more places in the city. and there could be more special lanes on the freeways that only buses could drive in. these changes would make taking the bus faster and easier than driving a car.other experts have said that the best way to ease traffic problems is to charge people money to drive on the freeways. these charges, or tolls, would be for the most crowded roads. the tolls would be in effect during the times of day when most people drive to work and home again. these times in the morning and late afternoon are called “rush hour”. people would try to avoid driving on these roads, which would decrease the amount of traffic. also ，the money collected from these tolls could be used to improve the roads and public transportation system.36.the passage mainly discusses _.a.different means of transportation of the

delay that paper.procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it. they can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, surfing the internet, watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them, who, most likely, are doing nothing either.paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. but this does nothing to break the spell(魔咒).according to a recent report, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the worlds population are always procrastinating. the figures are disappointing. procrastinators are less wealthy, less healthy and less happy than those who dont delay. procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior, but bbc columnist rowan pelling says they are all wrong.many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure. pelling says this is nonsense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time. the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones.pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent(过失的）in a society that thinks of swift action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral good.fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it. piers steel, a canadian social scientist and
