选做题
Ⅰ.(2010·北京)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear？__1__It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called“elevator(电梯)music”because we often heard it in e levators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name“Muzak”. About one­third of the people in America listen to“Muzak”every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired.__2__.
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why？__3__.
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background.__4__Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
__5__They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another. Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!
A．Some people don't like Muzak.
B．The music gives them extra energy.
C．Music is playing in the background.
D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E．Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F．They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.
1．答案：C
解析：该空后说到了音乐，故应选C项。

2．答案：B
解析：整个第二段说了在银行、商店、超市等公共场合播放音乐会使人精神放松，恢复精力。

故该空处应是总结性的B项。

3．答案：F
解析：有些音乐家和词作家不想把自己的音乐用作Muzak，但是有些却很乐意，因为他们能从播放的音乐中赚取每年4百万美元的收入。

4．答案：D
解析：公共场所播放音乐会使工作人员的工作提高效率，因此根据语境比较几个选项，选项D应是最佳答案。

5．答案：A
解析：该空后说有些人由于长时间听一首音乐会使人产生厌烦感，故该空应选A项。

Ⅱ.阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

The world's first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages (the taxis of those days ) to get around. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to get to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems, the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born.
The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays, but the first track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the first underground track which was six kilometers (3.7 miles ) long. About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed) and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot, as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems, riding the Underground did become popular. It carried nine million riders in its first year.
Modern subways have come a long way since the early days of the London Underground. Today there are 94 large underground rapid transit systems around the world. The busiest of these subway systems is the Tokyo Metro which opened in 1927. This efficient subway has two billion riders per year, and “pushers ” work on the platforms during busy traffic hours to help push riders onto trains. At times, subway cars have been packed with up to 300 people! Shopping malls built in high traffic stations where riders move from one train to another have also helped the popularity of subways in Tokyo. Stations like the famous Ginza Sugo Eki Ginza Consolidated Station include underground department store, supermarkets, restaurants, and specialty shops. Shoppers_never_have_to_go_above_ground!

________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 2．What did the first London underground train have inside? (Please answer it within 10 words)
