But it

12、 is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to re

13、member even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had

14、the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said th

15、ey chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall p

16、erformance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in

17、 a catchy or memorable tune.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburghs website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learni

18、ng, and opens the door for future research in this area.”1、The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to _.Arecall the pastBamuse the readersCintroduce the topicDcompare the past with the present2、According to the passage which language doesnt share the same root with Germanic or Romanc

19、e languages?AHungarianBSpanishCItalianDEnglish3、From the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that _.Asinging is the best way to learn a foreign languageBbrain probably works best when foreign language learners sing the wordsCa listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learnerDDr. Kati

20、e Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other4、Whats correct about the study undertaken by the researchers at the University of Edinburgh?AAltogether twenty adults were tested in the study.BPeople in the 3rd group performed as well as the other 2 groups.CPeople in the 2nd group were asked to speak

21、the words to a beat.DIn the study 60 adults were divided into 3 groups according to abilities.5、In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?AA mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.BA child is going to have his first music lesson.CA student is going to learn a new English

22、song.DAn American is going to learn some Chinese.22（8分）The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and protest poems on buildings. Modern graffiti seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the lat

23、e sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names, or “tags”, on buildings all over the city. In the mid-seventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window, because the trains were completely covered in spray painti

24、ngs known as masterpieces.In the early days, the “taggers” were part of street crowds who were concerned with marking their territory(领地). They worked in groups called “crews” and called what they did “writing” the term “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the novelist Norman Mailer.

25、Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time that it began to be regarded as an art form, John Lindsay, the then mayor of New York, declared the first war on graffiti. By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught, a

26、nd instead many of the more established graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.The debate over whether graffiti is art or deliberate damage is still going on. Peter Vallone, a New York city councilor, thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone elses proper

27、ty it becomes a crime. “I have a message for the graffiti destroyers out there,” he said recently, “and your freedom of expression ends where my property begins.” On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that artists are reclaiming cities for the public fr

28、om advertisers, and that graffiti represents freedom and makes cities livelier.For decades graffiti has been a springboard to international fame for a few. Jean-Michel Basquiat began spraying on the street in the 1970s before becoming a respected artist in the 80s. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the

29、British artist Banksy have achieved international fame by producing complex works with stencils(模板), often making political or humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over 100,000. Graffiti is now sometimes big business.1、Why was the seventies an important decade in the history of graffi

30、ti?AThat was when modern graffiti first became really popular.BThat was when modern graffiti first appeared.CThat was when graffiti first reached New York.DThat was when graffiti first appeared on subway car windows2、What does the underlined word “taggers” in the second paragraph mean?ANames of peop

31、le who graffitied.BBuilding where paints were sprayed.CPeople who marked surface with graffiti.DPeople who were interested in graffiti.3、What can we know from the third paragraph?ANew Yorkers think graffiti is art.BGraffiti was accepted by officials completely.CBuildings can be covered with graffiti

32、 freely.DThere were once advertisements on city surface.4、What is the authors final opinion about graffiti?AGraffiti has now become mainstream and can benefit artists.BGraffiti is not a good way to become a respected artist.CSome popular graffiti artists end up being ignored by the art world.DSome g

33、raffiti caused inconvenience to the local environment.23（8分） Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted (植入) in the

34、ir hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips impl

35、anted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only ver

36、y briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenien

37、ce, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband (腕带) or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant c

38、hips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity

39、 theft, similar, to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004，so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer

40、of Three Square Market. He says, “Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.”1、What is the third paragraph mainly about?AThe substitutes of the chips.BThe advantages of the chips.CThe places to im

41、plant the chips.DThe potential risks of implanting the chips.2、What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to?Athe handsBthe employeesCthe scannersDthe credit cards3、We can infer that _.Athe chips have magic powersBthe chips are very popular among the employeesCthe price of the chips i

42、s reasonableDmost people suspect the application of the chips4、Which of the following best describes Todd Westbys attitude towards the chips?ADefensive.BDisappointing.COptimistic.DCasual.24（8分） When the clock struck midnight on February 23, my flight left the Egyptian capital Cairo heading for Beiji

43、ng. I was about to start a 10-month program organized by Chinas Public Diplomacy Association.During this program offered to African journalists to better understand China and report on some important events, one being the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in September, I gained a lot of knowledge re

44、garding the culture, history, and features of this vast society.Upon arrival, I first sought out the Egyptian community in Beijing, and met two journalists from my country who worked for Xinhua News Agency and China Global Television Network. Our gathering point was an Egyptian coffee shop in Sanlit

45、un, a well-known meeting place for foreigners in Beijing. Most of our meetings were spent sharing experiences about life in China. Indeed, I was able to begin understanding the country through their stories. Plus, through those friends I expanded my circle.I also struck up a relationship with some C

46、hinese journalists while participating in activities with my African peers. They helped me appreciate the rich culture and eventful history of ancient China, as well as the massive developments over the last 40 years, both politically and economicallyDuring my stay, I traveled to nine provinces and

47、visited masses of cities. The place I was most connected with was Sanya due to its similarities to Sharm El-Sheikh, one of the worlds most famous tourist destinations, located on the Red Sea in Egypt.Shanghai will also last in my memory. I discover that this city is not only distinguished for busine

48、ss deals, but has a colorful history illustrated by its fantastic museum, which tells the story of how Shanghais importance grew in the 19th century.When walking in Beijing or any of the other cities I visited, I always felt history mixed with signs of modernity, mirroring four decades of hard work.

49、 I recorded many aspects of my life in china.1、Why did the writer come to China?AWorking for Xinhua News Agency.BVisiting some famous cities.CExpanding his circle of friends.DCovering important events.2、What do foreigners usually do when meeting in Sanlitun?ATalk about their life experiences.Bjust h

50、ave a drink in a coffee shop.CShare stories in their own countries.DParticipate in activities3、Which of the following is the reason for the writers mentioning Sharm El-Sheikh?AHe missed his hometown.BIt is a famous tourist destination.CIt has something in common with Sanya.DIt is located in Egypt.4、

51、Which word can best describe the writers impression of China?ADissatisfying.BAwesome.CMoving.DHorrible.25（10分） Today the Nobel Prize in Literature awarded journalist Svetlana Alexievich approximately $970,000 in recognition of a lifetime of excellence. The 67-year-old author of Voices From Chernobyl

52、 and Wars Unwomanly Face was praised by the Swedish Academy “for her polyphonic(复调式的) writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”Prizes like the Nobel inspire much expectations before the announcement. People give their best guesses as to who will win, look back on past winners, and

53、even place bets as if spectators at a Derby(赛马会).Literary prizes reward artistic brilliance. They help writers earn a decent living. But is the publics fascination with prize-winning authors healthy? Our impulse seems to increasingly contribute to a culture of turning authors into celebrities, where

54、 readers follow the author instead of the book.A story should stand on its own, as a considered, complete book, without biographical information from author. Its an idea perhaps best conveyed in Roland Barthess 1968 essay The Death of the Author. “The image of literature to be found in contemporary

55、culture is arbitrarily centered on the author, his person, his history, his tastes, his passions.”Nearly 50 years later, a few still agree. “I believe that books, once they are written, have no need of their authors,” New York Times bestselling author Elena Ferrante once wrote. “If books have someth

56、ing to say, they will sooner or later find readers; if not, they wont,”she continued. “True miracles are the ones whose makers will never be known.”But the rules for submission for the Man Booker International Prize, for example, strongly encourage authors to “make themselves available for publicity

57、”. And the foundation behind the National Book Award requires finalists to participate in their “website-related publicity”. In 2007, a reporter who showed up uninvited at Doris Lessings house was the first to inform her that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Today the Twitterati c

58、ame knocking on Alexievichs digital door hour before the award was even official. To be considered for a prize is to be a public figure. Harry Potter series author J. K. Rowling, with over 5.6 million Twitter followers, has actively addressed readers through public appearances and social media, reve

59、aling much more than we could have imagined when we closed the final Harry Potter book. We now know the house Harrys children will be sorted into, that Dumbledore is gay,“Voldemort” is actually pronounced with a silent “t”, and a whole host of the other minor and major details about the backstory of

60、 the characters.The magical world Rowling created in her booksa relatively tight mystery with well-laid clues that led to a satisfying conclusion, which had to prove their merits to the reader based on an internal logicis being unraveled by her own hand. Of course, public attention also has very imp
