A
Listening to music while you drive can improve your speed and ability to get away from accidents, according to Australian psychologists. But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident. The performance of difficult tasks can be affected if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving.
The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels(分贝), and the same music at 85 decibels.
For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car. They had to track a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake in response to arrows that appeared without warning.
On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions. But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers “braked”at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters actually, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian.
When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when the music was quiet，people responded faster to objects in their central field of sight by about 50 milliseconds. For the people listening at 85 decibels, response time dropped by a further 50 milliseconds—a whole tenth of second faster than those “driving”with no music.
“But there's a trade­off，”the psychologists told the European Congress of Psychology. “They lose the ability to look around the whole situation effectively.”In responding to objects that suddenly appeared, people subjected to 85­decibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups. Since some accidents—such as children running into the road—take place without any notice, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result.
【语篇解读】文章叙述了澳大利亚心理学家通过对60个男女司机在不放音乐、放55分贝音乐和85分贝音乐的状况下，看看音乐分贝的大小对司机会产生怎样的影响。

1．Which of the following is the best way to make driving safer?
A．Loud music. B．Quiet music.
C．Silence. D．Heavy metal music.
【解析】细节理解题。

依据第一段前两句Listening to music while you drive can improve your speed and ability to get away from accidents, according to Australian psychologists. But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident. 澳大利亚心理学家说你开车时听音乐可以提高你的速度和远离交通事故的力量。

但是车里的收音机声音被调到最大时可能会使你发生交通事故。

【答案】 B
2．Where did the researchers do the experiment?
A．At crossroads.
B．At a police traffic station.
C．In a crowded street.

【解析】细节理解题。

依据其次段第一句tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions可知。

【答案】 D
3．Which of the following didn't help the performers to “brake” sooner at red lights?
A．Silence. B．Loud music.
C．Quiet music. D．Rock music.
【解析】细节理解题。

依据第四段其次句But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers “braked”at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. 但在大声的和安静的音乐条件下，表演者看到红灯时刹车时间要比在没有摇滚音乐的状况下约快50毫秒。

由此可知the loud and quiet music，rock music这三种音乐可以挂念他们在红灯时早点踩刹车。

【答案】 A
4．Which of the following is NOT true of loud music?
A．It helped the performers to brake sooner at red lights.
B．It helped the performers to be more careful.
C．It helped the performers to respond faster to objects suddenly stepping in the way.

【解析】推理推断题。

依据文章最终一句Since some accidents—such as children running into the road—take place without any notice, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result.有一些交通事故，比如孩子突然跑到大路上——没有留意到就发生了。

关键词less safe，说明这种状况下司机的反应慢。

【答案】 C
B
Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That's not rudeness—people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e­book.
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(乘车上下班的人). Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40，000—yes, that's 40，000—“apps”(programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-killers. One “app”，called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen.
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice. It's not just teenagers who “plug in”to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e­books and music aren't enough to keep you engaged, then perhaps you would prefer a film. The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all these entertainments, it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train.
【语篇解读】本文主要叙述的是在伦敦坐地铁的人总是忙于使用自己的手机、iPad等来看书、听音乐、玩玩耍等。

以此来告知我们新的技术正在转变人们在车上度过时间的方法。

5．People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because they are busy .
A．playing games, reading e­books, listening to music or watching films
B．going to work
C．reading books
D．thinking about private things
【解析】细节理解题。

依据其次段的Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.和第五段的For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice. It's not just teenagers who “plug in”to their music和最终一段的The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film 及第四段内容可知A项中的四件事是伦敦地铁上的人经常做的事情。

故A正确。

【答案】 A
6．Those who like war games can download to their iPhones.
A．Tube Exits B．iShoot
C．ISteam D．iPod
【解析】推理推断题。

依据第四段的One “app”，called iShoot, is a game that features tanks.可知iShoot是一款战斗玩耍。

故宠爱玩耍战斗的人应当宠爱这个app。

故B正确。

【答案】 B
7．The underlined word “engaged” in the last paragraph probably means “.”
A．delighted B．busy
C．controlled D．amused
【解析】推理推断题。

依据最终一段的And if games, e­books and music aren't enough to keep you engaged，then...a film.可知假如玩耍、音乐以及电子书都不能让你劳碌，那么看电影或许会适合你。

由于这些消遣的方式能够让我们劳碌得很充实。

故B正确。

【答案】 B
8．The article tells us that .
A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangers
B．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40，000 iPhones
C．with all the new time­killers, London commuters often forget to get off the train
D．technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time.
【解析】主旨大意题。

本文主要叙述的是在伦敦坐地铁的人总是忙于使用自己的手机、iPad等。

以此来告知我们新的技术正在转变人们在车上度过时间的方法。

They're WILD animals
By Ernst­Ulrich Franzen
March 11, 2010 (3) COMMENTS
The story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc, after she ignored warnings and barriers(栅栏), reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture. We all do silly things at times — no one is immune — but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category. Teddy bears and Disney movies aren't actually representative of real bears.

1．TosaLeft - Mar 11, 2010 10：46AM
Don't you think that maybe, just maybe some alcohol was involved?
2．tk421 - Mar 11, 2010 11：09 AM
It was already approved that alcohol was involved. Stories that begin with a drunk person saying “Hey, I got an idea, watch this！” rarely end well.
3．Tristan Kloss - Mar 11, 2010 11：41 AM
Alcohol certainly isn't involved when people decide to keep “pets”like chimpanzees, baby tigers, etc. Stupidity, definitely. Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication. Even farm animals, which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well, aren't let in the house. So why keep animals that treat human contact with, at best, indifference(冷淡、不在乎) and, at worst, violence?
【语篇解读】本文主要叙述的是一些人由于看了动画片，而和真实的动物接触，因此受到了损害甚至丢失了自己的生命，据此开放了争辩……

Computer games have been criticised for quite some time over a whole range of issues. Some people say they are overly violent and encourage violent behaviour particularly in children. Others say that they make children unsociable and are bad for their eyes. Some have even attributed falling standards of literacy and a lack of interest in reading on them. Now, however, it seems that computer games have also become a feminist issue.
Game manufacturers have, for some time, been looking to increase the number of female game players.The vast majority of computer games still sell to a mainly male market. Perhaps this is because the violent nature of many of the games appeals more to males or perhaps because many of the main characters in the games are male. Manufacturers' attempts to produce more female characters increase their share of the female gaming market which has met with serious criticism from many women's groups.
While heroines such as Lara Croft of the Tomb Raider game are seen as providing positive role models of strong women, many believe that the character's unrealistic Barbies are subconsciously setting unattainable standards in the minds of young women. Perhaps a stronger criticism is that although many games now include female characters, their role is often secondary and they support the main, male, action characters within the games. Of course the nature of many of the games remains violent and destructive and this in itself could well continue to put off female gamers.
There are now, however, a number of websites springing up on the World Wide Web to help women deal with this issue. Sites such as Game Girlz, Women Gamers and Game Gal offer game reviews, articles, discussion forums and even employment opportunities for women interested in becoming part of the rapidly expanding games industry. The games are reviewed by women from a very female perspective. Some rate the games from one to ten across a range of criteria which include the appearance of the female characters, the degree of intelligence attributed to them in the game and even the marketing attitude adopted by the company. The sites are obviously looking for games that move away from the very male dominated and violent nature of the majority of computer games. Many of them review games that are more constructive and developmental. Although the common fantasy themes of knights, witches and goblins(妖精) still exist within these games, the aims are often very different. Instead of destroying opposing armies，the aim of the game can be to make peace with them.
With this increased degree of awareness and involvement from women in the games industry many positive changes could be made that could encourage more women and young girls to become enthusiastic about technology. Perhaps we may even find more male gamers moving away from the traditional violent and destructive games towards the more positive values promoted by these more feminine role models, after all Tomb Raider is still one of the most popular computer games on the market, but perhaps that's too much to ask.

Ⅱ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
This is the season for giving. Looking to get in touch with your generous side? Learn these four habits of truly thoughtful gift givers.
1．16
Considerate gift giving is as much about planning as it is about how well you know the person. Take time to think about his or her personality and interests to figure out how he or she will get the most value.
2．They don't focus on cost.
The practice of thoughtful giving offers a wealth of benefits, but that doesn't mean givers should focus on expensive gifts.17It seems that having more cash could actually reduce compassion(怜悯).And isn't compassion what this time of year is all about? So don't take it too hard if you don't have a lot to spend.18
3．They make gifts personal.
Gifting is an opportunity to let a person know how much you appreciate and love him, and show how well you know him.19Book a massage (按摩), take them to a wine tasting event, or get a couple of tickets to a concert or show. If you're buying for a parent, taking their kids for an evening could be the best gift of all.
4．They think about the presentation.
20See what you have around your house to customize (自定义) packaging. You can use pretty towels to cover something like a bottle of wine. You can also tie on a decoration that fits the theme of your gift.
A．They plan ahead.
B．Instead, get creative.
C．They enjoy giving more than receiving.
D．In fact, thoughtful gift givers don't concentrate on the cost of presents.
E．Thoughtful gift givers pay attention to details, including how their gifts are packaged.
F．Make a list of your ideas ahead of time to make sure you find the perfect fit for everyone.
G．If you're buying for someone who seems to have everything, consider gifting an experience.

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large 21. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to 22the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.

A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a(n) 25，“I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our 26，”she offered. “Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit 27with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.” The husband 28. So each of them went to a(n) 29room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and 30what they came up with.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. “I'll start，”offered the wife. She took out her 31. It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages. 32，as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
“What's wrong？” she asked. “33，”the husband replied, “keep reading your list.”The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.
“Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on 34of our lists，”she said happily. Quietly the husband stated, “I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are 35
the way that you are. I don't want you to 36anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you.” The wife, touched by his honesty and the 37 of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, 38and annoyed. We don't really have to go 39them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and 40. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?

Opportunities don't come often. They often come quietly and go by with being noticed. Therefore, it is advisable that you valued and treat them with care. When opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it of its own. If you intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, and you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. The difference between a man who succeeds and one who do not lies only in the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always makes full preparations to meet opportunities when the unsuccessful person works much and just waits to see them pass by. In
my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are preparing fully and qualified highly can make use of them to achieve our purposes.

【参考范文】
High school is always considered as the most cherished period of one's life. As a Senior 3 student, it won't be long before I graduate.Now, I have much to share with my fellow students.
Firstly, I would like to show my appreciation of help from those standing by me , teachers, parents and friends included. Without their help and advice, my life would be different. Secondly, it's high time to say sorry to classmates whom I hurt or misunderstood. Communication and smiles act as bridges to friendship. Above all, I've made up my mind to make every effort to study, for I believe hard work is the key to success. Just as the old saying goes, “No pains, no gains.”
Finally I hope all the younger fellows can make full use of time, because time and tide wait for no men.。
