:Directions:There are 2 passages in this secaon.Each passage isfollowed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each ofthem there arefour choices marked A.,B.,C.andD..You shouM decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuesaons 56 to60 are based on thefollowingpassage.When it comes to noise cancelling headphones,sometimes the best offense is a good defense.While there are plenty of active noise cancelling headphones that use a complex(and pricey)method to block distracting sounds,there are simpler ways.How about headphones with a snug fit that simply plug up your ear canals?This process is called passive isolation.Its not uncommon for a consumer faced with the choice between thedescriptors"passive"and"active"to choose the stronger-sounding technology,but great passive isolation can be just as effective and cost a lot less.The AKG K323 XS headphones($59 MSRP)are just such a pair.Sleek and portable,they produce a huge sound marked with prominent bass,supportive mids,and very healthy highs.Theyre also the best passive isolators that weve tested in a long time.Like most in-ears,the XS headphones are quite small and simply designed,available in white,blue,orange.yellow,green—the list goes on.The Android version packs a one-button universal remote,and theres also a three.button version for iOS.The XSs teeny formfactor,featherweight frame,and smalI carry case are additional on.the.go perks(特权享受).The cable is simple,but of decent quality,Its shorter than most cords—just 3.5 feet—which may or may not be desirable depending on how you use them.Ears come in all different shapes.and so do the speaker covers.AKG includes four different options:extra small,small,medium,and large.In the audio test labs.these AKGs proved to be a straight.A student.Thanks to moderate bass notes and very prominent middle and high notes,music sounds both full and balanced.From classical,to jazz,to hip hop,every genre benefits from this even-handed sound quality.Listeners will enjoy big,thumping bass that doesnt obscure subtler insmunents like violin and piano.These tiny in.ears aced distortion tests,to—you wont find one drop of unwanted or distorted sound.The K323 XS really shines.even in a crowded market.Its hard to pick which glowing attribute to praise first:The massive,well.balanced sound stage?The distortion.free listening experience?The$59 price tag?The monster isolation?Thetiny,portable design?These AKGs are simply aces(王牌),and online sale prices of around$40 kick everything up another notch(等级).56.What can you learn from the first two paragraphs?A.All active isolators are technically complex.B.Consumers are more likely to choose active isolators.C. Passive isolation isnt as effective as the active one.D.Consumers prefer those low-priced passive isolators.57.What are the extra perks of XS?A. The tiny shape。

I do know that strangely, although we’re identical, we’re the exact opposite of each other ...Why are the house and its neighbour identical yet the exact opposite of each other?… sort of works for some of the information- though I have never seen such an arrangement. But the preposition ‗over‘ will not work, and surely there are two bedrooms – or what is the other room? We know it is not a bathroom- and if there are two bedrooms, how can you say the room arrangement is the opposite as in both cases there are two bedrooms?2 Soon there were children to look after too ...In what way does the house look after the children?The house provides shelter and keeps them warm and dry.3 I thought they looked rather coarse against my handsome stone.Does the house like the new brick houses being built?

I do hope it will go away.What do you think the crane is coming to do? Do you think it will go away?Balls are used to smash down walls so it sounds as if the building will be demolished rather than repaired.
