13、节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡将该项涂黑。ANew York (CNN) Its official. “Bieber Fever” has broken and given way to “ Gangnam Style.”Justin Bieber, who was first discovered on YouTube in 2008, had previously held the crown with just under 804 million online visitors. However,

14、rapper Psy on Saturday defeated the teenage pop star as the most-watched YouTube video ever, netting more than 806 million views.The “Gangnam style” is the title of the song, which has been sung by a South Korean rapper, Psy, who was in fact better known for his stage performances, and this video ha

15、s made him one of the most popular dancing icons of the world. If Americans can make a movie called “Kung Fu Panda” and sell it to the Chinese and it becomes a No. 1 hit in China, then it follows that a Korean artist, too, can rise to the top of the music charts in America, riding an invisible horse

16、 and rapping in his own language - Gangnam Style, of course. Wearing a tuxedo and sunglasses, the 34-year-old rapper Psy, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, is no stranger to the TV world, who has made appearances in The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Sunday, Golden Fishery ,just to name a few. The song

17、has been sung in Korean but the video has crossed all barriers of language, as it has become a massive hit all over the world, regardless of the language. The video, performed in Korean, is downloaded largely by people who dont understand one word of the language. The dancing style has been seen per

18、formed at various night clubs, dance floors, events, and functions, etc. Even famous personalities have been hooked on, as Ban Ki Moon from the UN, also for a brief period, recently tried his hand at the Gangnam Style. Music is a universal language. Psy, quite aware of this, told CNN recently, “If I

19、 have a chance I want my music lyrics to be Korean. The worlds most famous and popular language is music. So if we have some sort of solution with these kinds of dance moves and this kind of music video, can I use Korean if possible? Its really huge history for my country.” For many, the song and th

20、e music just resemble fun, but Psy has a deeper meaning attached to the song, as it is a criticism of the wealthy neighborhood in Seoul, Gangnam. It would be interesting to find out how many of the people from Gangnam actually liked the video. Very few people around the world know about the special

21、talent he possesses - the pop star actually sits down to write all his music by himself.Now, with Psy having gained world wide popularity, fans would be expecting more from the Korean star. So what can we expect from him in his new song? Only Psy would be able to answer this, as it is his think out

22、of the box attitude, which has made him a trend setter worldwide.26. “Bieber Fever” is mentioned in the beginning in order to _.A. attract the readers attentionB. bring in the most-watched song “Gangnam Style ”C. introduce the life of Justin BieberD. talk about a disease called “Bieber”27.

24、ike watching videos. 28.We learn from the passage that _.A. “Kung Fu Panda” was made in China and becomes a hit in America. B.

26、 _. A. the effect of the video and the song B. the fact that the video is downloaded C. the attraction of the dancing style D. the truth that music is a universal languageBYouve probably learned lessons by watching other people make mistakes. For example, if you saw another kid ride his bike too fas

27、t around a corner and fall down, you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn. And the same is true for other animals.Johnsons team has discovered that in monkeys, a small part of the animals brain is activated when a companion monkey makes an error. The finding appeared in the scientific journ

28、al Nature Neuroscience.Animals mess up all the time. They might eat a poisonous berry, fall off a tree or let their prey slip away. By watching other members of its species fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistake. This may improve its chance of survival. “Everybodys life is a bit of a tria

29、l-and-error game,” Matthew Shane told Science News. Shane is a psychologist who studies the brain at the Mind Research Network in Albuquerque. Psychologists suspected that one part of the brain, the medial frontal cortex (前额皮质层), helps animals process information about others errors. Cells in that r

30、egion appear to become more active when a person makes a mistake or sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didnt know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in detecting errors.So Johnsons team studied the brains response to errors in more detail. To inv

31、estigate, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the

32、 researchers monitored individual cells in the animals brains. When the first monkey failed the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in the medial frontal cortex of the second monkeys brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn, some of the cells i

33、n that group didnt respond. Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to their own mistakes.Psychologists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about others errors. “You start to think about the other person and take the persp

34、ective of him,” Ellen de Bruijn, told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Watching is the best way to learn how to ride.B. Others mistakes are very helpful to us.C. A rider should slow down around a tu

35、rn.D. People should warn those who ride a bicycle.32. We can infer from the third paragraph that _. A. Life is just a kind of endless trial-and-error game.B. Animals always make more mistakes than humans.C. One benefits a lot from watching others make mistakes.D. The medial frontal cortex processes

36、error information.33.

37、an react to errors.34.

The next paragrap

38、h is likely to talk about _. A. Ellen de Bruijns research on the medial frontal cortex processing information about others errors. B. the introduction to the University of Leiden in the Netherlands where Ellen de Bruijn studies.C. how Ellen de Bruijn began to think about the other person and take th

39、e perspective of him. D. other parts of the brain which might help people process information about others errors.CThe past week was possibly the most eventful in the history of customer technology markets, or to be precise, the 7-inch tablet (平板电脑) market. Never before have three of the biggest pla

40、yers in the industry scheduled what could be truly historic product launches so close together. Not only did Apple officially join the blossoming market by releasing the iPad Mini on Oct 23, but Microsoft launched its Surface tablet on Oct 26, and Google, despite having to cancel events due to hurri

41、cane Sandy, announced its latest Nexus 10 tablet in New York on Oct 29, only two months after the release of its Nexus 7. Who do you think will top the small tablet market? Lets run a quick comparison to find out.Apples iPad MiniRelease date: Oct 23Operating system: iOS 6Size: 19.9 x 13.5 x 0.7 cmPr

42、ices: $329 (16GB Wi-Fi), $429 (32GB Wi-Fi), $519 (64GB Wi-Fi), or $459 (16GB Data), $559 (32GB Data), $659 (64GB Data)Microsofts SurfaceRelease date: Oct 26Operating system: Windows 8 RTSize: 27.5 x 17.2 x 0.9 cmPrices: $499 (32GB Wi-Fi)Googles Nexus 10Release date: Oct 29Operating system: Android 4

43、.2 Jelly BeanSize: 26.4 x 17.8 x 0.9 cmPrices: $399 (16GB), $449 (32GB)Despite its name, the 7.9-inch iPad Mini is one of the largest among the mini-tablets. Its got all the advantages of its original 9.7-inch version and is incredibly thin just 7.2 mm, 23 percent thinner than the iPad. But it falls

44、 short of other tablets due to its non-Retina(非视网膜) 1024768 display. The iPad Mini comes in different models 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB so onboard storage shouldnt be an issue. The base price, however, is significantly higher than the competition, and the 1024x768 display resolution（分辨率）pales in compar

45、ison to the Nook HDs 1440 x900 or the 1280 x800 of the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD. Google may have been forced to cancel its Android event in New York City on Oct 29 due to the threat of hurricane Sandy, but that isnt stopping it from making the same big announcements. Google has officially revealed

46、 the Samsung-made Nexus 10 tablet. It will come equipped with a 10-inch display running at an impressive 2560 x1600 resolution. Surface is being launched alongside Windows 8, which is being described as the biggest change in the history of Windows. It is a bold product with some great touches, like

47、the magnetic cover that turns into a keyboard, and an Apple-like design. It doesnt feature a camera but focuses on Office software, which suggests Microsoft is promoting this device as an executive toy. The real delight, however, is Metro, the impressive navigation interface. It is beautifully desig

48、ned with brightly colored squares for navigation. 36. The 7-intch tablet market is shared by the three companies mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _.A. AppleB. MicrosoftC. SamsungD. Google37. From Paragraph 2 we know that _.A. The three tablets were launched on the same day in the same year. B. Google

49、s Nexus 7 was released before Microsofts Surface and Apples iPad Mini. C. Hurricane Sandy didnt have any effect on the release events of Google Company. D. The three companies have never launched their historic products so close together. 38. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Metro is a navigation i

50、nterface designed and operated on Windows 8 in the iPad Mini. B. Nexus 10 tablet is equipped with a 10-inch display running at a 1280 x 800 resolution.C. The iPad Mini non-Retina display comes in two different models 16 GB and 32 GB. D. The biggest difference between the three tablets lies in their

51、operating systems.39. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means_.A. Surface features its Office software instead of camera and it is handy for office managers. B.

52、in it and its Microsoft Office is as powerless as a toy. D. Surfaces camera is not as good as its Office software so that the writer suggests playing it as a toy. 40. The best title for this passage could be _. A. Tablet Market on Fire B. The Tablet Market in ChinaC. iPad Mini Tops the MarketD. Tabl

53、ets, Your Best ChoiceDChristmas falls on December 25 every year. As everyone knows, Jesus Christ is the founder or central figure of Christianity. December 25 is a Christian holiday to memorialize Jesus. Romans also regarded this day as a division point in the human time course in order to memoriali

54、ze the birthday of Jesus. This way of counting the years is just the AD chronology which is still used around the world up to date: before the birth of Jesus is known as BC and after the birth of Jesus is called AD.“Christmas”, as the name suggests, refers to the birthday of the saint “Christ”. The

55、word “Christ” comes from Greek, meaning the“anointed”- a person God separated for special purposes. “Messiah” in Hebrew has the same meaning as “Christ”. The word “Messiah” comes from the prediction of an ancient prophet（先知）. Jews in the 1st century had been waiting for the arrival of “Messiah” God

56、promised to grant them to bring them a new world.The most authoritative record about the birth of Jesus is the Bible, especially in the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of Matthew. According to the record of Luke, Augustus, King of Rome at that time, ordered a census(人口普查), so Mary and her husband Jose

57、ph left their home in Nazareth and went to Josephs hometown Bethlehem to register. As hotels there were fully occupied, Mary and Joseph had to spend the night in a horse shed. Mary gave birth to Jesus that night. Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, is just the city where Joseph ancestor David lived.

58、 This exactly proves the prediction in the Book of Isaiah.The genealogy (家谱) of Jesus that Matthew described lasted until Jesus was born by a virgin. Then it recorded the arrival of three wise men from the Orient (probably China). These men, also called by some people three doctors from the Orient,

59、came soon after Jesus was born in Bethlehem. They previously went to Jerusalem to report to Jewish King Herod that they had seen a bright star which meant the birth of a new king. They arrived at Bethlehem finally after many inquiries, found Mary and Jesus and presented three precious gifts to Jesus

60、.After Jesus was grown up, he claimed he was the king- Messiah of Jews. Finally he angered the authority because of his declaration that he was Christ. He was sentenced in a religious trial and crucified. Christians believe Jesus came back to life three days after death and “Easter” is the Christian
