There is a new male excuse for not listening to us.A recent study shows that men find it almost impossible to listen to what women say because their brains are out of synch（不同步的）with complex female tones. Apparently, when men listen to other men about the things they care about, they use only the frontal area of their brains. However, when they listen to women its different story. They have to work much harder, employing a part of the brain that normally deals with music. So when a man tells you your voice is music to his ears, hes actually telling the truth, though not in a good way. Im sure a lot of women could recall times when they have wasted hours explaining why they are completely right about everything in the world, only to wake up the next day to discover that not one brilliant point got through. Those times when men havent listened to me, I just thought I was being ignored. I didnt realize I just wasnt singing their favorite music. If Id realized I was being heard as music, I would have had a bit of fun with it. Whenever I wanted a discussion, Id have brought along my own band, complete with string and horn sections. It is difficult not to be suspicious of yet more scientific findings sparing men the blame because of their biology. Isnt this slaves to biology all-purpose excuse wearing thin? Its enough to make you wonder at what a strange helpless species men are -which part of the body will be beyond their control next. Even if there is something in it, we have to take into account that most relationships are likely to become boring. Thats the truth of the matter. Male or female, your voice might start out as music to your beloveds ears. But finally it will end up as boredom. When your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise. 1 The author of this passage tries to _. A. throw doubts on a commonly accepted idea B. explain a commonly accepted idea as it is C. give some advice on a common problem D. argue against a common belief 2According to the new study, men dont listen to women because _ . A. what women say are usually boringB. they dont care about what women say C. they cant deal with female voicesD. they regard female voices as music 3The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph shows that the author is _. A. realistic B. humorous C. serious D. funny4What does the author think of the finding of the new study? A. She thinks it doubtful. B. She thinks it interesting. C. She thinks it needs further proof. D. She thinks it right. 5The author would most probably agree that _. A. men should accept what women say B. women should talk less and do more housework C. however beautiful voices may be, they will finally become boring D. the relationship between men and women should always be improving 1、答案解析：答案为B。本题考查文章的写作目的。本文第二段就揭示了为什么男性听不进去女性的话的原因，文章后面的内容对此进行了阐述。故答案为B。2、答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第三段的内容可知，男性在听同性的话语的时候只是用了大脑的前面区域；然而听女性的话语的时候，却更费力，因为要使用通常用来听音乐的那部分的大脑区域。故可推断，男性不听女性的话是因为他们大脑不能非常容易地处理女性的声音。故答案为C。干扰性最强的D选项 “他们把女性的声音当成音乐” 与文意不符。故错误。3、答案解析：答案为B。本题为句意推断题。结合第五段的内容，作者以女性的口吻谈到如果她早意识到她是因为 “音乐”而被男人倾听，她会为此而感到些许开怀。无论何时，如果她想要一场“讨论”，就会带上自己的乐队，弦号俱全。故可以推断，划线部分的语言显得幽默。4、答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推断题。由倒数第三段首句 “It is difficult not to be suspicious of ” 可知，本句话的同义词就是doubtful.故答案为A。5、答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。从最后一段 “When your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise.” 可知，当你美妙的旋律每天都出现在男人日常生活中的时候，最后也会变成背景噪音。故答案为C.A、B未提及；倒数第二段首句提到了 “ most relationships are likely to become boring.” D选项与此不符，故错误。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。【2014高考英语模拟冲刺卷】Below is a selection from a science report.Even facts “forgotten” by people during a busy day may be got back again if this is followed by a good nights sleep. Researchers from the University of Chicago asked volunteers to remember simple words. Many found their memories letting them down towards the end of the day, but the following morning, those who had slept well could remember much more. Researchers, writing in the journal Nature, said the brain could “rescue” lost memories during the night. When the brain is first asked to remember something, that memory is laid down in an “unstable” state, which means it is possible that it could be lost. At some point, the brain consolidates (强化) those which are thought important into a “stable”, more permanent state. However, the Chicago researchers suggested that it was possible for a “stable” memory to be made “unstable” again. This would mean that memories could be slightly changed and then be kept in a new order again in the face of new experiences. The 12 volunteers who were tested in the experiment were asked to listen to words created through a speech synthesizer (语音合成器) which were purposely difficult to understand. At the very beginning, the written version of the word was available, but afterwards the volunteers were asked to identify the word just depending on the sound they heard. Tests showed that the ability to remember the right word tended to weaken as the day ended. However, when the volunteers were retested after a good nights sleep, they were able to recall some words that they had “forgotten” the previous evening. Dr Daniel, one of the study authors, said “Sleep strengthens memories, protecting them against later interference (干扰) or decay (衰减).”“Sleep also appears to recover or restore memories.” He said “If the function of memory is reduced by decay, sleep might actively recover what has been lost.” Dr Karim Nader, from the Department of Psychology in McGill University in Montreal, said “Memory research is experiencing a transformation - no longer is memory thought to be a hardware of the brain, instead it seems to be a process of storage and re-storage. Sleep helps some memories fully grown up and also removes unimportant memories.” 46. What tends to happen to a person at the end of the day according to the report?A. He may feel tired. B. He may feel sleepy.C. His memory weakens. D. His brain stops working.47. What can be kept in ones memory more permanently?A. Something first remembered by the brain. B.

A. memory differs from person to personB. good memory happens in the early morning C. sleep affects memoryD. memory fails at the end of a dayPassage B【语篇解读】本文为科普文。文章通过对一个实验的介绍说明良好的睡眠有助于恢复“已忘”的记忆。46C【解析】事实细节题。文中第二及第九段中均有说明。47B【解析】事实细节题。文中第五段有具体说明。48D【解析】事实细节题。根据文章对实验的描述可知。49C【解析】主旨大意题。结合全文可知作者想要告诉读者的是“睡眠影响记忆”。阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Being the head of a high school for many years, I grew tired of budget meetings, funding cuts, and many other administrative chores (杂务). I started to dream of retirement. Sitting in traffic on a weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering, I would imagine spending time with my grandchildren, quiet evenings with my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books. I told myself that I wouldnt sign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule. My first day of retirement came at last!I cooked a great breakfast for my wife and me, leisurely read the paper, cleaned a bit of the house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On the second day, I cooked breakfast, read the paper . . . On the third day, . . . This is retirement? I tried to tell myself that it was just the transition(过渡), that those golden moments were right round the corner, and that I would enjoy them soon enough. But something was missing. A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students were going to Jamaica to work with children in the poorest neighborhoods. Would I interrupt my new found “happiness” and return to the students, just this once? One trip. Thats all. My bags were packed. The trip was very inspiring. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by the sense of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to work one day a week with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work. Now, it seems the tables have turned. Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student. These young people have reawakened my commitment (责任感) to social justice issues by challenging me to learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed, corruption and war. Most importantly, they have given me the opportunity to continue to participate in helping to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas.

The tradition of giving cash gifts of “lucky money” (“hong bao” in Chinese) goes back centuries and can be particularly profitable for the young and the unmarried. As the country increasingly adopts online business and e-commerce models, tradition is taking a back seat to convenience as more and more lucky money receivers prefer to receive their money via electronic means. A recent study conducted by Shanghai-based Avanti Rhesearch Partner showed that 58% of respondents (调查对象) preferred their hong bao directly deposited into their accounts. The country is becoming increasingly connected - over 90% of 18 to 30 year olds in China own an Internet-connected smart phone, according to a Global Times survey published last year. Of course, Chinas Internet giants have not been slow to capitalize on this trend, with Shenzhen-based Tencent last week launching their “New Year Red Envelope” app (应用程序), an add-on to its popular WeChat messaging service. The companys over 600 million WeChat users can send each other lucky money, provided both the sender and receiver have signed up to the companys in-app payment service. “I am really happy that I can use a new and fashionable way to send my holiday greetings to my family and friends, especially for people who have kids but live far away from us.” said Mr. Cheng, a user of the service. The service reportedly banked 18 million RMB ($2.9 million) worth of transfers (转账) in its first 24 hours, according to a report in the Beijing Youth Daily newspaper. While Tencents rival Alibaba also has a similar service, called Hong Bao, which launched last year, WeChats app allows users to randomly distribute up to 200 yuan ($33) within a group of friends, adding a fun element of unpredictability to the process. Some analysts believe that linking the payments to WeChats in-app payment service could be a game-changer, as it simplifies the process of paying for micro dealings, potentially making users more likely to make in-app purchases in the fut
