Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.

Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience,researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调).

One of the study's authors,Nina Kraus,said the findings suggested that studying music "actually tunes our sensory system" .This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs,Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.

Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages,pitch plays a central role. A single­syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned

.

For this study,the researchers looked at 20 non­Chinese speaking volunteers,half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.

As they were shown a movie,the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint,bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.

The lead author of the study,Patrick C.M. Wong,said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.

(1)When learning Chinese,a foreigner will find ________.

A. he has a difficult time learning music at the same time

B. he has an easier time learning music at the same time

C. it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understand

D. it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch

(2)Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?

A. Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.

B. Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.

C. Because music training might help people with language study.

D. Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.

(3)The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word "____". A. created B. spelled C. seemed D. pronounced

(4)What would be the best title for this passage?

A. Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English Speakers

B. Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study

C. Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning

D. Schools Need to Develop Music Programs

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.

In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book" project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.

In Chicago, the mayor(市长)appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.

Ultimately as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

(1)What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

A. To invite authors to guide readers. B. To encourage people to read and share.

C. To involve people in community service. D. To promote the friendship between cities.

(2)Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?

A. They had little interest in reading.

B. They were too busy to read a book.

C. They came from many different backgrounds.

D. They lacked support from the local government.

(3)According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?

A. In large communities with little sense of unity.

B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.

C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.

D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.

(4)According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by ______.

A. the careful selection of a proper book

B. the growing popularity of the writers

C. the number of people who benefit from reading

D. the number of books that each person reads

Skeptics are a strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.

Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much popularity. That book, The Skeptic Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg's views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.

So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg's book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”

Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg's “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”.

A critical (批判的)eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blinded before a world partially exhibited by the media. That's a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.

(1)According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics"?

A. People who agree on the popularity of "eco-guilt".

B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.

C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.

D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.

(2)Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg's book?

A. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.

B. The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.

C. The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.

D. Industry–funded media present confusing information.

(3)The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to____.

A. voice a different opinion

B. find fault with Lomborg's book

C. challenge the authority of the media

D. point out the value of scientific views

(4)What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?

A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.

B. To warn the public of the danger of half–blindness with reviews.

C. To blame the media's lack of responsibility in presenting information.

D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.

Dear Laura,

Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.

Yours,

(1)考查非谓语动词。句意:从我来到昆明的第一天起,我对中国的理解就发生了变化。句中的have意为“使得”,其后的宾补与宾语之间是动宾关系,应该用过去分词,填changed。

(2)考查名词。foreigner为可数名词,此处表示人们对待外国人的态度,数量大于一,故用复数形式,填foreigners。

(3)考查连词。句意:碰巧全是中国人,所以我不太明白,但这确实让我重新思考了我的假设。前后文为转折关系,故填but。

(4)考查非谓语动词。句意:随着我中文水平的提高,从房东把我介绍给能帮助我们学习中文的人,到认识附近经营一家面馆的那对夫妇,我的整个旅程都是如此。from…to…“从……到……”后跟动名词短语做宾语,与上文my landlord introducing me to people构成并列结构,故填getting。

(5)考查形容词。be动词后跟形容词作表语,故填friendly。

(6)考查冠词。句意:中国并不是一个例外。exception为可数名词,此处表示泛指且是元音音素开头的单词,故填an。

(8)考查定语从句。本句为定语从句修饰先行词Kunming,且先行词在从句中做地点状语故用关系副词where。

(9)考查时态。本句描述目前此时此刻的情况,用现在进行时,主语为单数,故填is developing。(10)考查时态。根据时间状语in the last 20 years可知本句用现在完成时,且主语为most people,故填have seen。

七、短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

18.【答案】 ①to stay去掉to ②about后的which →what ③out for a walk ④many →much ⑤angrily →angry ⑥window →windows ⑦but →and ⑧repair →repaired ⑨we →he ⑩had →have

【考点】短文改错

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者和家人住在朋友家海边的房子时,作者的小儿子汤姆在朋友家门前踢足球时打破了威尔逊先生家的一扇窗户。汤姆和作者为这件不幸的事向所有的邻居道了歉。

①考查固定短语。let sb. do sth.固定用法,“让某人做某事”,后跟动词原形,故去掉to。

②考查宾语从句。此处是一个宾语从句,从句缺少主语,指事,故应用what引导宾语从句,因此 which 改为what。

③考查介词。be out for a walk固定短语“出去散步”,for表示目的。故out后添加for。

④考查形容词。noise为不可数名词,因为需要用much修饰,故many改为much。

⑤考查形容词。get为系动词,后跟形容词作表语,故angrily改为angry。

⑥考查名词。one of后跟名词复数,表示“……其中之一”,故window改为windows。

⑦考查连词。句意:汤姆和我为这件不幸的事向所有的邻居道歉,并且我们答应尽快把打破的窗户修好。前后文为并列关系,故but改为and。

⑧考查非谓语动词。句中的have意为“使得”,其后的宾补与宾语之间是动宾关系,应该用过去分词因此 repair 改为repaired。

⑨考查代词。根据语境可知是Tom打破了窗户,故此处表示的是汤姆他不会再做这样的傻事。故we改为he。

⑩考查时态。主句谓语动词为一般现在时,所以从句应该用完成时。故had改为have。

【点评】本题考点涉及宾语从句,介词,形容词,名词,连词,非谓语动词,代词以及时态等多个知识点的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,覆盖面广,综合性强,难度较大,区分度高。

八、书面表达(满分25分)

19.【答案】 Miss Morgan,

I am so sorry that I won't be able to attend the lecture on American history tomorrow afternoon. My uncle is returning home from France, and I have promised to meet him at the airport at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon.

I am very much interested in American society and history. I wonder if it is possible for the talk to be recorded, and if so, could I borrow the tape? It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and make up for what is covered in the talk. I would appreciate it if you could allow me to ask for a leave of absence.

Thank you.

Yours,
