But what if those native speakers are Dora the Explorer and Diego?It turns out television and radio might

11、 be even better tools for new language learners than previously thought. According to two recent studies by Scientific American, it is possible to futher your understanding of a new language without actively practicing or fully paying attention.For starters, research published in the Journal of the

12、Acoustical Society of America suggests that language learners who focus continuously on learning new sounds keep no more information than those who take occasional breaks. While one group of study participants practiced distinguishing three difficult Hindi sounds for one hour a day over the course o

13、f several days, another group alternately(交替地) spent 10 minutes on learning and 10 minutes on an intentionally distracting(使人分心的) task as the Hindi sounds played in the background. When tested on the sounds, the distracted group performed just as well as the focused group.And a following study publi

14、shed in the Journal of Memory and Language further validates the power of inactive learning. Researchers found that Spanish students learning the Basque accent improved less when they were instructed to repeat sounds back during their training; listening to new sounds silently actually resulted in b

15、etter memory.So, is it time to lay off your tutor and buy a box set of Cordon Salvaje? Not quite. While this growing body of research suggests inactive language learning is an amazing tool in your language learning, the value of focused practice cannot be ignored. “You need to come to class and pay

16、attention,” says Melissa Baese-Berk, a language expert and co-author of one of the studies, “But when you go home, turn on the TV or turn on the radio in that language while youre cooking dinner, and even if youre not paying total attention to it, its going to help you.”So get out there and learn bu

20、2（8分）A recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore(NUS)has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yell

21、ow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度)of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a causal relationship between the color of a tax

22、i and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.The researchers also studied the economic effect of changing the color of t

23、he entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents would occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per y

24、ear. Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, switching the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual savings of $2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate(证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public tra

25、nsport, such as school buses. For instance, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we are also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of

26、vehicles that are of different colors,” explained Prof Ho.1、Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?ABecause yellow can be seen more easily.BBecause yellow signals a warning of danger.CBecause drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.DBecause people act more quickly in yellow surroundin

27、gs.2、Whats Prof Hos study based on?APhysical risks taxi passengers experience.BThe economic effect of changing taxi color.CData from Singapores largest taxi company.DPersonal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.3、What do Prof Hos words in the last paragraph suggest?ASchool buses should be painted ye

28、llow.BTheir findings are worth popularizing.CYellow should be widely used in public transport.DTheir study will be furthered.4、What can be the best title for the text?ACaution: yellow taxis aheadBSafer to ride in yellow taxisCWhy are yellow taxis preferred?DHow can colors help prevent accidents?23（8

30、y that has become more and more familiar in recent years. Dr. Mohammad Farnood, a leading sports scientist from Cairo, Egypt, said, “ It is thought that some athletes will look for other ways to improve performance in addition to using drugs.”However, it has not always been against the law. In the O

31、lympics in 1904, Thomas Hicks won the marathon after using drugs in the middle of the race. In fact, the first one didnt make him feel better for long, so he was given another and, as a result, he fell down soon after finishing and knew nothing. Another one may well have killed him.Things are very d

32、ifferent today. Some scientists are considering the possibilities of using genetic engineering to further develop athletes abilities. “If it works with no risk of discovering,” said Dr Farnood, “ then its likely to become common practice for athletes.”Researchers are looking at the possibility of id

33、entifying “athletic” genes and correcting weak ones. Put into practice, this would make a person healthier and stronger. Once scientists understand what genes of top athletes look like , it might even become possible to identify “athletic” genes in young people, and then money could be spent on chil

34、dren who have the most promising genes.“People are beginning to recognize that genetics can in many ways do good to our society, for example in saving lives and in creating better quality food for people.” Dr Farnood says. “ So, is it fair to use genetic engineering in sport? You could ask if its fa
