A
(2013·盐城市摸底)
Listening to a favorite song might promote the brain's ability to respond to other stimuli(刺激) in people with chaos of consciousness.
Music has been shown to have a beneficial influence on cognitive(认知) process in healthy people and those who have brain damage. For example, daily music therapy can help to increase cognitive recovery.
Fabien Perrin at the University of Lyon, France, and colleagues recorded brain activity in four patients while they were reading a list of people's names, including their own names. Before the list, they listened to either their favorite music—chosen by family or friends—or “musical noise”. The team then repeated the experiment with ten healthy volunteers.
In all four patients, playing the music rather than musical noise promoted the quality of the brain's response to their own names, bringing it closer to the brain response of the healthy volunteers to hearing their names. The work was presented at the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness meeting in Brighton, UK, last month.
Perrin has two theories about what's going on. “Listen ing to preferred music excites our memory of ourselves—so it could make it easier for the response to the information such as our own names，” he says. “Another theory is that music promotes awareness, so maybe it temporarily increases consciousness and recognition of one's own names becomes easier.”
“The familiar music might be causing an emotional arousal effect, and once the patient with brain damage is aroused, there is a small window that opens for increased communication and the brain responds to the name，” suggests Carsten Finke, an expert at Charite Medical School in Berlin, Germany, who was not involved in the study.
So is Perrin's music waking some form of consciousness in the people with brain damage? “I haven't come across any responses like this to music before and it's too early to conclude that it has any therapeutic effects in these patients，” says Adrian Owen at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada.
文章大意：本文是一篇科普说明文，法国一大学教授和他的同事发现听喜欢的或熟悉的音乐能对脑部受损的人的认知能力提升有帮助。

56．What did Fabien Perrin find about the four patients in the experiment?
A．Their cognitive recovery was increased after listening to music noise.
B．They responded to music noise more quickly than to their favorite music.
C．Their consciousness and recognition of music noise became easier.
D．They could react to their own names better after listening to their favorite music.
答案：D 细节理解题。

57．From Adrian Owen's words, we can infer that ________.
A．music can increase consciousness
B．preferred music can excite one's memory of his own
C．music has no therapeutic effects on people with brain damage
D．more research should be done to confirm the influence of music
答案：D 推理判断题。

58．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．People with brain damage like listening to music.
B．Familiar music could help people with brain damage.

(2013·豫南九校联考)
I've been asked a million times why I've chosen to put up with all the inconvenience of working the road all these years when I could have easily written songs for a living, and enjoyed a peaceful and comfortable existence.My reply is：Nobody applauds when you write a song.
What else would cause a person to pack his belongings and ride away from his family in order to lead such a nomadic (流浪的) existence? I mean，entertainers don't cure cancer or anything.
I once rode all night and half a day through a snowstorm only to arrive in a town where we were booked to perform to find our concert had been canceled because of the weather.A handful of people hadn't heard the news，however，and had managed somehow to make their way to the concert hall.
We were cold, tired and hungry. But there was something in the eyes of those few fans who had shown up that told us how badly they wanted to hear the music they knew we could play if only we would. There was certainly no place else for us to go. The_entire_town_was_held_prisoner_by_the_storm. Why not drink some coffee and pick a little country music?
When our show was over，an elderly lady approached the stage.“You don't know how much this evening has meant to me，” she said. “Thank you for playing and singing for such a small crowd. Today is the first time I've smiled since my husband died. Your music has helped me to forget my problems for a while.”
Okay，so entertainers don't cure cancer.But maybe, every once in a while, we cure some other things that are almost as important.

(2013·洛阳市统考)
LONDON ( Reuter)—Ecotourism is causing a lot of damage to wildlife and may be endangering the survival of the very animals people are flocking(蜂拥而至) to see, according to researchers.
Biologists and conservationists are worried because polar bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying.
“Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard，” New Scientist magazine said.
The immediate effects researchers have noticed are changes in behavior, heart rates, or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the
long term could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see.
Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 10 percent—30 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas, the Swiss­based World Conservation Union and some governments fear not all projects are audited (审计) and based on environmentally friendly policies, according to the magazine.
“The transmission(传播) of disease to wildlife, or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding ，”said a professor in New Zealand.
Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow­eyed penguins in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.
Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects are started.“The animals' welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism，” said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

(2013·西安市长安区第一次质检)
The round­the­lock availability that cell phones have brought to people's lives may be taking_a_toll_on family life, a new study suggests.The study, which followed more than 1300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover” between work and home life—and, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.
Spillover actually means that the line between work and home began to become unclear. Work life may invade home life—when a parent is taking job­related calls at home, for instance—or family issues may start to take up work time.For example, a child may call Mom at work, telling her “the microwave exploded” , explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of society at the University of Wisconsin­Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home.
This may be especially true for working women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed not to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time.But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions—being “connected” means that work cuts into home time, and family issues come into work life.
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchange among family members.But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley.
Employers, she said, should look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”．For their part, employees can decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.
文章大意：手机搅乱了人们的生活。

67．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “taking a toll on” in Paragraph 1?
A．Explaining. B.Protecting.
C．Extending. D．Damaging.
答案：D 猜测词义题。

由下文可知，使用手机会给家庭生活带来“伤害”。

68．The example “the microwave exploded” in Paragraph 2 is used to ________.
A．show the microwave is of poor quality
B．indicate how dependent the child is
C．indicate family issues affect work hours
D．show work time creeps into family life
答案：C 推理判断题。

所举例子证明前面的观点“family issues may start to take
up work time”。

69．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Cell phones offer 24­hour availability.
B．Cell phones get life and work mixed.
C．Women don't use cell phones in an effective way.
D．Men are better at dealing with family problems.
答案：B 主旨大意题。

由文章大意可知，全文讲的是手机使人们把生活和工作混淆了。

70．What is the author's attitude towards round­the­clock availability of the
cell phone?
A．Curious. B.Positive.
C．Opposed. D．Objective.
答案：D 推理判断题。

纵观全文，作者没有提到自己的态度，使用它的态度是“客观的”。

(2013·江西省重点中学协作体一联)
One of the world's richest men has taken a close interest in one of man's most basic functions: visiting the toilet.Bill Gates's charitable organization, the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation, is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future,
which, they hope, would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world.
So, what's wrong with the traditional flush toilet? Firstly, it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.Secondly, they are more likely to cause pollution.This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world, where, according to United Nations estimates, unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations.Younger people are particularly at risk.Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year.Finally, standard lavatories simply aren't practical in remote areas.
The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water, electricity or aseptic tank(化粪池)．It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents.28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair in Seattle, USA.Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves, another which converted human waste into charcoal, and yet another which used urine for flushing.
But the winner was a solar­powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity. The team from the California Institute of Technology(CIT)picked up a prize of $ 100,000.
But clearly Bill Gates doesn't feel he's flushing money down the toilet.After the Seattle event he said, “We, couldn't be happier with the response we've gotten，” Gates has even pledged $370m more to the future toilet project.They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years.
文章大意：希望为人们改进卫生设备，比尔·盖茨给发明新马桶的人付钱。

71．Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?
A．Because he wants to test people's sense of creativity.
B．Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people.
C．Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion.
D．Because he can't design this kind of things himself.
答案：B 细节理解题。

由第一段最后一句话“...which, they hope, would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world.”可知，盖茨给发明新马桶的人付钱是他希望为人们改进卫生设备。

72．Which of the following is NOT a problem with the traditional flush toilet?
A．They waste too much water.
B．They might cause diseases.
C．They are not always practical.
D．They are too complicated to use.
答案：D 细节理解题。

由第二段可知，没有提到D项。

73．The underlined word “latrine” in the third paragraph might have similar meanings to the wo rd “ ”in the text.
A．loo B．sanitation C．diarrhea D．prototype
答案：A 猜测词义题。

由几处划线词的语境可知，A项与latrine意思接近，都与卫生设备有关。

74．The team from CIT won the prize because their design ________.
A．can change human waste into electricity
B．can turn human waste into charcoal
C．can produce power with solar energy
D．can use urine for flushing
答案：C 细节理解题。

由倒数第二段“...the winner was a solar­powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity.”可知，获得奖项的是使用太阳能产生能量的一个设计。

75．If someone “flush money down the toilet”， they are ________.
A．showing off their wealth
B．being angry with their work conditions
C．wasting money for nothing
D．expressing their great determination
答案：C 猜测词义题。

所在句句意为“很清楚，盖茨不觉得自己在浪费金钱”。

Dear_Editor，
I'm_a_senior_high_school_student,_named_Li_Hua. Now it's a fashion for many students to have iPads. Using an iPad, we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read them on the screen. Apparently, it's helpful to our study, especially to our English listening.
Some students, however, bring their iPads to classroom listening to music with earphones or even playing video games, which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoyed.
In my opinion, classroom is a place for students to study in, and concentration is awfully needed for us. Therefore, we should make good use of iPads to help achieve academic success. Furthermore, the school should make a rule to guide the students to use iPads in a proper way.
Yours_sincerely，
Li_Hua。
