It is full of great buildings, pointing like fingers to heaven. It is true that some cities don"t permit buildings to go above a certain height. But these are cities concerned with the past. The first thing any city does when it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers.When people gather together in cities, they create a demand for land. Since cities are places where money is made, that demand can be met. And the best way to make money out of city land is to put as many people as possible in a space that covers the smallest amount of ground. That means building upwards.The technology existed to do this as early as the 19th century. But the height of buildings was limited by one important factor. They had to be small enough for people on the top floors to climb stairs. People could not be expected to climb a mountain at the end of their journey to work, or home.Elisha Otis, a US inventor, was the man who brought us the lift—or elevator, as he preferred to call it. However, most of the technology is very old. Lifts work using the same pulley system the Egyptians used to create the Pyramids. What Otis did was attach the system to a steam engine and develop the elevator brake, which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold it up are broken. It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention. In fact, he spent a number of years exhibiting lifts at fairgrounds, giving people the chance to try them out before selling the idea to architects and builders.A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now. Going in a lift is such an everyday thing that it would just be boring. Yet psychologists and others who study human behavior find lifts fascinating. The reason is simple. Scientists have always studied animals in zoos. The nearest they can get to that with humans is in observing them in lifts."It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around with us—and you just can"t choose to move away," says workplace psychologist, Gary Fitzgibbon. "Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions," he says. Some people are scared of them. Others use them as an opportunity to get close to the boss. Some stand close to the door. Others hide in **ers. Most people try and shrink into the background. But some behave in a way that makes others notice them. There are a few people who just stand in a comer taking notes. Don"t worry about them. They are probably from a university.1.

Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults. Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills or job training, find out about new technological developments, seek better self-understanding, ordevelop new talents and skills.2. This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries, correspondence courses, or broadcasting. It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs and professional associations.3. Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution. Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were moving from rural areas to cities; new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system. These and other factors produced a need for further education and re-education of adults.4. The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the founding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics institution in Glasgow. Benjamin Franklin and some friends found the earliest adult education institution in the U.S. in Philadelphia in 1727.5. People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today. For example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to **pletely new jobs. Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.1. Paragraph 2 ______A. Necessity for developing adult educationB. Early days of adult educationC. Ways of receiving adult educationD. Growth of adult educationE. Institutions of adult educationF. Definition of adult education2. Paragraph 3 ______3. Paragraph 4 ______4. Paragraph 5 ______5. Some adults want to learn ______.A. by social and economic changesB. guided self-study and correspondence coursesC. by studying together with childrenD. what they did not manage to learn earlierE. dates back to the eighteenth centuryF. mass production6. There are various forms of adult education, including ______.7. Adult education has been made necessary by ______.8. The earliest organized adult education originated in ______.第4部分：阅读理解第一篇Photos Big Business NowPhotos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business! In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince"s photograph of a photographer, Untitled (Cow- boy), was sold for $1,248,000.Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called "found photographs"—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger"s family album.The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes "basically everything is worth looking at", has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born on one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper (雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else: "Why"s your car HERE at HER place?" The note became the starting point for Rothbard"s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such as poster discovered in our drawer.The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such Richard Prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? It"s anyone"s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward to our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we"ve gone?In the absence of established facts, the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely. That, above all, is why they are so fascinating.1.

A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars—one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses (屠宰场).Back in the early 1900s, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a "disassembly line". Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each **pletely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyor, and each worker, as it passed, added **ponent to it, the same one each time. Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened."The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assembly team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person."Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed (拖、拉) past workers **pleted them one piece at a time. It hasn"t been long before Ford wasturning outseveral hundred and thousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then. And so efficient and economical was this new system that he cut the price of his cars in half, to $260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers and the world all copied him.In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitledToday and Tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile has arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation (自动化), everything from toasters to perfumes is made on assembly lines.1. Which of the following statements about Henry Ford is NOT true?A. He introduced a new way of production.B. He influenced all manufacturing.C. He inspired other auto makers.D. He changed a historian"s mind.2. The writer mentions "slaughterhouses" because they were the places where ______.A. Ford"s assembly line originatedB. Ford made his first carC. Ford readjusted the assembly lineD. Ford innovated the disassembly line3. A magneto is a technical term for ______.A. an automobileB. a production lineC. a part of an automobile engineD. a disassembly line4. The phrase "turning out" in the fourth paragraph could be best replaced by ______.A. producingB. sellingC. buyingD. fixing5. The invention of the assembly line enabled Henry Ford ______.A. to create more jobs for the unemployedB. to write a book on historyC. to reduce the price of his cars to $260D. to cut the production of his cars by 50%第三篇Don"t Rely on Indirect EvidenceConservationists may be miscalculating the numbers of the threatened animals such as elephants, say African and American researchers. The error occurs because of a flaw in the way they estimate animal numbers from the piles of dung (粪) the creatures leave behind.The mistake could lead researchers to think that there are twice as many elephants as there really are in some regions,according to Andrew Plumptre of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in New York.Biologist Katy Payne of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, agrees. "We really need to know elephant numbers and the evidence that we have is quite indirect," says Payne, who electronically tracks elephants.Counting elephants from aeroplanes is impossible in the vast rainforests of Central Africa. So researchers often estimate elephant numbers by counting dung piles in a given area. They also need to know the rate at which dung decays. Because it"s extremely difficult to determine these rates, however, researchers tallying (统计) elephants in one region tend to rely on standard decay rates established elsewhere.But researchers at the WCS have found that this decay rate varies from region to region depending on the climate and environment. Using the wrong values can lead the census astray (歧途), says Plumptre.He and his colleague Anthony Chifu Nchanji studied decaying elephant dung in the forests of Banyany--Mbo wildlife sanctuary (禁猎区) in Southwest Cameroon. They found that the dung decayed between 55 and 65 per cent more slowly than dung in the rainforests of neighbouring Gabon. If researchers use decay rates from Gabon to count elephants in Cameroon, they would probably find more elephants than are actually around.This could mean estimates in Cameroon are at least twice as high as those derived from decay rates calculated locally, says Plumptre. " However accurate your dung density estimate is, the decay rate can severely affect the result. "Plumptre also says that the dung-pile census should be carried out over a region similar in size to an elephant"s natural range. The usual technique of monitoring only small, protected areas distortsnumbers because elephants move in and out of these regions, he says. "if the elephant population increases within the protected area, you can not determine whether it is a real increase or whether it is due to elephants moving in because they are being poached (偷猎) outside. "Plumptre says that similar problems may also plague other animal census studies that rely on indirect evidence such as nests, tracks or burrows (地洞).1. The word "threatened" in Paragraph 1 means ______.A. endangeredB. frightenedC. killedD. angered2. The way elephant numbers are estimated is ______.A. technicalB. theoreticalC. unhelpfulD. mistaken3. Counting piles of elephant dung is not reliable because they differ in ______.A. sizeB. shapeC. track locationD. decay rate4. According to Plumptre, a dung-pile census should be conducted in a ______.A. natural rangeB. small regionC. protected areaD. monitored place5. In making an animal census study, Plumptre advises researchers not to rely on ______.A. monitoring techniquesB. electrical devicesC. aeroplanesD. indirect evidence第5部分：补全短文SemcoAt 21, Ricardo Semler became boss of his father business in Brazil, Semco, which sold parts for ships. Semler Junior worked like a madman, from 7:30 am, until midnight every day. One afternoon while touring a factory in New York he collapsed the doctor who treated him said "There"s nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you"ll find a new home in our hospital." Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact, he changed the way his employees worked too.He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries, and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary like receptionists and secretaries. 1 . "Everyone at Semco, even top managers, meets guests in reception does the photocopying, sends faxes, types letters and dials the phone." He completely reorganized the office: instead of walls, they have plants at Semco, so bosses can"t shut themselves away from everyone else. 2 . As for uniforms, some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts.Semler says: "We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour. He doesn"t even pretend to be busy. But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails and millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea. Rubin springs into action. 3 . That"s when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn"t look busy the rest of thetime."Semco has flexible working hours: the employees decide when they need to arrive at work. The employees also evaluate their bosses twice a year. 4 .It sounds perfect. but does it work? The answer is in the numbers: in the last six years. Semco"s revenues have gone from $35 million to $212 million. **pany has grown from eight hundred employees to 3,000, why?Semler says it"s because of "peer pressure". Peer pressure makes everyone work hard for every one else. 5 . In other words, Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like adults. And they do.A. This saved money and brought more equality to **pany.B. He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them.C. And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want.D. Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work.E. If someone isn"t doing his job well, the other workers will not allow the situation to continue.F. Also, Semco lets its workers use **pany"s machines for their own projects, and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.1.2.3.4.5.第6部分：完形填空A Country"s Standard of LivingThe "standard of living" of any country means the average person"s share of the goods and services the country produces. A country"s standard of living, therefore 1 first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this 2 is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.A country"s capacity to 3 wealth depends upon many factors, most of 4 have an effect on one another. Wealth depends 5 a great extent upon a country"s natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have fertile (肥沃的) soil and a favorable climate; other regions 6 none of them.Next to natural **es the ability to 7 them to use. China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years 8 civil and external wars, and for this and other 9 was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and 10 from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more 11 than another country equally well favored by nature but less well ordered.A country"s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and 12 within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade for mple, Britain"s wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural 13 would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for the surplus (过剩的)manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products 14 would otherwise be lacking.

But of course we all have a memory. Our memory tells us who we are. Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.In fact we have different types of memory. For example, our visual memory helps us recall facts and places. Some people have such a strong visual memory, they can remember exactly what they have seen, for example, pages of a book, as a complete picture.Our verbal (言语的) memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates, or a recipe.With our emotional (情感的) memory, we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings, perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have special memories for smell, taste, touch and sound, and for performing physical movements.We have two ways of storing any of these memories: Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds—enough to remember a telephone number while we dial. Our long-term memory, on the other hand, may store items for a lifetime. Older people in fact have a much better long-term memory than short-term. They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance (记忆) of when they were very young.Psychologists tell us that we only remember few facts about our past, and that we invent the rest. It is as though we remember only the outline of a story. We then make up the details. We often do this in the way we want to remember them, usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past or maybe victims needing sympathy (同情).1.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents says that on average 15 people drown in British pools each year, but many more suffer major injury after getting into difficulties. Now a **pany has developed an artificial intelligence system called Poseidon that sounds the alarm when it sees someone in danger of drowning.When a swimmer sinks towards the bottom of the pool, the new system sends an alarm signal to a poolside monitoring station and a lifeguard"s pager. "In trials at a pool in Ancenis, near Nantes, it saved a life within just a few months," says Alistair McQuade, a spokesman for its maker, Poseidon Technologies.Poseidon keeps watch through a network of underwater and overheard video cameras. AI softwareanalyses the images to work out swimmers trajectories (轨道，轨线). To do this reliably, it has to tell the difference between a swimmer and the shadow of someone being cast onto the bottom or side of the pool. "The underwater environment is a very dynamic one, with many shadows and reflections dancing around," says McQuade.The software does this by "projecting" a shape in its field of view onto an image of the far wall of the pool. It does the same with an image from another camera viewing the shape from a different angle. If the two projections are in the same position, the shape is identified as a shadow and is ignored. But if they are different, the shape is a swimmer and so the system follows its trajectory. To pick out potential drowning victims, anyone in the water who starts to descend slowly is added to the software"s "pre-alert" list, says McQuade. Swimmers who then stay immobile on the pool bottom for 5 seconds or more are considered in danger of drowning. Poseidon double-checks that the image really is of a swimmer, not a shadow, by seeing whether it obscures the pool"s floor texture when viewed from overhead. If so, it alerts the lifeguard, showing the swimmer"s location on a poolside screen.The first full-scale Poseidon system will be officially opened next week at a pool in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. One man who is impressed with the idea is Travor Baylis, inventor of the clockwork radio. Baylis runs a company that installs swimming pools—and he was once an underwater escapologist (表演脱身术的人) with a circus. "I say full marks to them if this works and can save lives," he says. But he adds that any local authority spending 230,000—plus on a Poseidon system ought to be investing similar amounts in teaching children to swim.1. AI means the same as ______.A. an imageB. an ideaC. anyone in the waterD. artificial intelligence2. What is required of AI software to save a life?A. It must be able to swim.B. It must keep walking round the pool.C. It can distinguish between a swimmer and a shadow.D. It can save a life within a few months.3. How does Poseidon save a life?A. He plunges into the pool.B. It alerts the lifeguard.C. He cries for help.D. It rushes to the pool.4. Which of the following statements about Trevor Baylis is NOT true?A. He runs.B. He invented the clockwork radio.C. He was once an entertainer.D. He runs a company.5. The word "considered" in Paragraph 5 could be best replaced by ______.A. thoughtB. ratedC. regardedD. believed第二篇Can Buildings Be Designed to Resist Terrorist Attack?In the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, structural engineers are trying hard to solve a question that a month ago would have **pletely unthinkable: Can buildings be designed to withstand catastrophic blasts (爆炸) inflicted by terrorists?Ten days after the terrorist attacks on the twin towers, structural engineers from the University at Buffalo and the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) headquartered (总部在某地) at UB traveled to ground zero as part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation. Visiting the site as part of an MCEER reconnaissance (事先考查) visit, they spent two days beginning the task of formulating ideas about how to design such structures and to search for clues on how to do so in buildings that were damaged but still are standing."Our objective in visiting ground zero was to go and look at the buildings surrounding the World Trade Center, those buildings that are still standing, but that sustained damage," said M. Bruneau, Ph.D. "Our immediate hope is that we can develop a better understanding as to why those buildings remain standing, while our long-term goal is to see whether earthquake engineering technologies can be married to existing technologies to achieve enhanced performance of buildings in the event of terrorist attacks," he added.Photographs taken by the investigators demonstrate in startling (惊人的) detail the monumental damage inflicted on the World Trade Center towers and buildings in the vicinity. One building a block away from the towers remains standing, but was badly damaged. "This building is many meters away from the World Trade Center and yet we see a column there that used to be part of that building," explained A. Whittaker, Ph. D. "The column became a missile that shot across the road, through the window and through the floor."The visit to the area also revealed some surprises, according to the engineers. For example, the floor framing system in one of the adjacent buildings was quite rugged, allowing floors that were pierced by tons of falling debris to remain intact. "Highly redundant ductile (有延展性的) framing systems may provide a simple, but robust strategy for blast resistance," he added. Other strategies may include providing alternate paths for gravity loads in the event that a load-bearing column fails. "We also need a better understanding of the mechanism of collapse," said A. Whittaker. "We need to find out what causes a building to collapse and how you can predict it."A. Reinhorn, Ph. D. noted that "Earthquake shaking has led to the collapse of many buildings in the past. It induces dynamic response and extremely high stresses and deformations in **ponents. Solutions developed for earthquake-resistant design may be directly applicable to blast engineering and terrorist-resistant design. Part of our mission now at UB is to transfer these solutions and to develop new ones where none exist at present."1. The question raised in the first paragraph is one ______.A. that was asked by structural engineers a month agoB. that is too difficult for structural engineers to answer even nowC. that was never imagined before the terrorist attackD. that terrorists are eager to find a solution to2. The project funded by the National Science Foundation ______.A. was first proposed by some engineers at UBB. took about two days to completeC. was to investigate the damage caused by the terrorist attackD. was to find out why some buildings could survive the blasts3. The column mentioned by Dr. Whittaker ______.A. was part of the building close to the World Trade CenterB. was part of the World Trade CenterC. was shot through the window and the floor of the World Trade CenterD. damaged many buildings in the vicinity of the World Trade Center4. A surprising discovery made by the investigators during their visit to ground zero is that ______.A. floors in the adjacent building remain undamagedB. some floor framing systems demonstrate resistance to explosionC. simple floor framing systems are more blast resistantD. floors in one of the adjacent buildings were pierced by tons of debris5. What Dr. Reinhorn said in the last paragraph may imply all the following EXCEPT that ______.A. blast engineers should develop new solutions for terrorist-resistant designB. blast engineering can borrow technologies developed for earthquake-resistant designC. solutions developed for earthquake-resistant design may apply to terrorist-resistant designD. blast engineering emerges as a new branch of science第三篇Eat More, Weigh Less, Live LongerClever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near-starvation diet prolongs the life of many animals.Ronald Kahn at Harvard Medical School in Boston, US, and his colleagues have been able to extend the lifespan (寿命) of mice by 18 percent by blocking the rodent"s (啮齿动物) increase of fat in specific cells. This suggests that thinness-and not necessarily diet-promotes long life in "calorie (热量单位，卡) restricted" animals."It"s very cool work," says aging researcher Cynthia Kenyon of the University of California, San Francisco. "These mice eat all they want, lose weight and live longer. It"s like heaven. "Calorie restriction dramatically extends the lifespan of organisms as different as worms and rodents. Whether this works in humans is still unknown, partly because few people are willing to submit to such a strict diet.But many researchers hope they will be able to trigger the same effect with a drug once they understand how less food leads to a longer life. One theory is that eating less reduces the increase of harmful things that can damage cells. But Kahn"s team wondered whether the animals simply benefit by becoming thin.To find out, they used biology tricks to disrupt the insulin (胰岛素) receptor (受体) gene in lab mice—but only in their fat cells. "Since insulin is needed to help fat cells store fat, these animals were protected against becoming fat," explains Kahn.This slight genetic change in a single tissue had dramatic effects. By three months of age, Kahn"s modified mice had up to 70 percent less body fat than normal control mice, despite the fact that they ate 55 percent more food per gram of body weight.In addition, their lifespan increased. The average control mouse lived 753 days, while the thin rodents averaged a lifespan of 887 days. After three years, all the control mice had died, but one-quarter of the modified rodents were still alive."That they get these effects by just manipulating the fat cells is controversial, "says Leonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who studies calorie restriction and aging. But Guarente says Kahn has yet to prove that the same effect is responsible for increased lifespan in calorie restricted animals. "It might be the same effect or there might be two routes to long life," he points out, "and that would be very interesting."1. Ronald Kahn and his colleagues can make mice live longer by ______.A. offering them less foodB. giving them a balanced dietC. disrupting the specific genes in their fat cellsD. preventing them growing larger2. According to the passage, we do not know whether humans will benefit from taking in fewer calories partly because ______.A. humans, worms and rodents are differentB. most people are not willing to be put on a strict dietC. the effect is not knownD. genetic changes in tissues can not be performed on humans3. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A. People like to lose weight, but they do not like to eat less.B. People want to go to heaven, but they do not want to die.C. Mice will go to heaven if they lose weight.D. Mice enjoy losing weight.4. The average modified mouse lived ______.A. 3 yearsB. 753 daysC. more than 3 yearsD. 887 days5. What can be inferred from the passage about the route to long life?A. It remains to be studied.B. It has already been discovered.C. Eating more leads to long life.D. Eating less leads to long life.第5部分：补全短文American DreamsThere is a common response to America among foreign writers: the U.S. is a land of extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst. This is a cliche (陈词滥调).In the land of black and white, people should not be too surprised to find some of the biggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world. But the American Dream offers a way out to everyone.1 No class system or government stands in the way.Sadly, this old argument is no longer true. Over the past few decades there has been a fundamental shift in the structure of the American economy.The gap between the rich and the poor has widened and widened. 2Over the past 25 years the median U.S. family income has gone up 18 percent. For the top 1 percent, however, it has gone up 200 percent. Twenty-five years ago the top fifth of Americans had an average income 6.7 times that of the bottom fifth. 3Inequalities have grown worse in different regions. In California, incomes for lower class families have fallen by 4 percent since 1969. 4 This has led to an economy hugely in favor of a small group of very rich Americans. The wealthiest 1 percent of households now control a third of the national wealth. There are now 37 million Americans living in poverty. At 12.7 percent of the population, it is the highest percentage in the developed world.Yet the tax burden on America"s rich is falling, not growing. 5 There was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a whole. But clearly that theory has not worked in reality.A. Nobody is poor in the U.S. .B. The top 0.01 percent of households has seen its tax bite fall by a full 25 percentage points since i980.C. For upper class families they have risen 41 percent.D. Now it is 9.8 times.E. As it does so, the possibility to cross that gap gets smaller and smaller.F. All one has to do is to work hard and climb the ladder towards the top.1.2.3.4.5.第6部分：完形填空Musical Training Can Improve Communication SkillsAmerican scientists say musical training seems to **munication skills and language retardation (延迟). They found that developing musical skill involves the 1 process in the brain as learning how to speak. The scientists believe that could 2 children with learning disabilities. Nina Krauss is a neurobiologist at Northwestern University in Illinois. She says musical training 3 putting together different kinds of information, such as hearing music, looking at musical notes, touching an instrument and watching other musicians. This 4 is not much different from learning how to speak. Both involve different senses.She further explains musical training and learning to 5 each make us think about what we are doing. She says speech and music 6 through a structure of the nervous system called the brain stem. The brain stem 7 our ability to hear. Until recently, experts have thought the brain stem could not be developed or changed. 8 Professor Krauss and her team found that musical training can improve a person"s brain stem activity.The study involved individuals with different levels of musical 9 . They were asked to wear an electrical device that measures 10 activity. The individuals wore the electrode while they watched a video of someone speaking and a person playing a musical instrument—the cello (大提琴). Professor Krauss says cellos have sound qualities similar 11 some of the sounds that are important with speech.
