Using Music to Change Your MoodEveryone knows that listening to music when feeling bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax.All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring，it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one. Now let's examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly （任意的）select the songs we are going to listen to.This is where the program lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn’t suit your emotions What do you think the result will beWhat you'll have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you’ll end up feeling worse than before.I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of all of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, don't listen to songs with negative words or messages.The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups（分手）by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don't. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster.is believed to have a comforting effect.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Givencan benefit from all kinds of music.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Giventend to listen to music selectively______.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Givengenerally prefer motivating songs.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Givenshould listen to songs that suit your emotions.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given's advisable to have different lists of songs______.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Givenshould remove all of the old music from your list______.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Givenshould listen to songs with positive words______.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Givensongs help people recover from breakups faster______.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Givenpeople like romantic songs______.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given第二部分：阅读选择（第11～15题，每题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项，并将所选答案的代码（指A、B、C或D)填在答题纸的相应位置上。

第一部分：阅读判断（第1～10题，每题1分，共10分）下面的短文后列出了10个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断：如果该句提供的是正确信息，选择A；如果该句提供的是错误信息，选择B；如果该句的信息文中没有提及，选择C。

The Greatest GiftOne day, I was telling my mother about a new girl in school. Suddenly she asked, "Who are your two best friends, Helen?""Jill and Jaime.""Well, what about Karen and Cindy?""I don't know who their best friends are.""No," she said. "I mean, why aren't they your best friends?" She seemed upset and hurt. "But they're my sisters.""Yes, but they can still be your best friends. Friends may come and go, but your sisters will always be there for you."At the time, the idea of my sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We used to fight over toys, food, attention and what to watch on television. But my mother never let the three of us forget it: sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish was to give us something that she had never had. When she gave birth to three daughters, the fulfillment（实现）of her dream had only just begun. She had given us each a gift—our sisters—and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted. She would frequently tell us how lucky we were, constantly take us to places together so we grew closer, and would even punish us equally, giving us yet another bonding（亲密关系）experience.It was somewhere in between Mom's lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories that we realized that Mom was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I share with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, holding hands when crossing the finishing line. When Karen got married, I was her maid of honor. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn't have t. She already knows.1.【题干】One day, one of Hele's sisters asked her to be her best friend.【选项】A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given【答案】B【解析】由文章开头妈妈和Helen的对话可知，妈妈告诉Helen，她的两个姐姐应成为她最好的朋友，而并不是Helen的一个姐姐让Helen成为她最好的朋友。

Choose the one that you think is the bestanswerMark your answers on Answer Sheet TwoText Inundatedby more informationthan we can possibly hold in our head, we're increasinglyhanding off the job of remembering to search engines and smart phones. Google is even reportedly working on eyeglasses that could one day recognize faces and supply details about whoever you're looking at. But new research shows that outsourcing our memory–and expecting that informationwill be continually and instantaneously available --is changing our cognitive habitsResearch conducted by Betsy Sparrow, an assistant professor of psychology at ColumbiaUniversity, has identified three new realities about how we process information in the Internet age. First, her experiments showed that when we don't know the answer to a question, we now think about where we can find the nearest Web connectioninstead of the subject of the question itself. A second revelation is that when we expect to be able to find information again later on, we don't remember it as well as when we think it might become unavailable. And then there is the researchers' final observation: the expectation that we'll be able to locate inf-ordination down theline leads us to form a memory not of the fact itself but of where we'll be able to find it.But this handoff comes with a downside. Skills like critical thinking and analysis must develop in the context of facts: we need something to think and reason about, after all. And these facts can't be Googled as we go; they need to be stored in the original hard drive, our long -term memory. Especially in the case of children, factual knowledge must precede skill, says Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology, at the University of Virginia -- meaning that the days ofdrilling the multiplication table and memorizing the names of the Presidents aren't over quite yet. Adults, too, need to recruit a supply of stored knowledge in order to situate and evaluate new information they encounter. You can't Google context.Last, there's the possibility, increasingly terrifying tocontemplate, that our machines fail us. As Sparrow puts it, The experience of losing our Internet connection becomes more and more like losing a friend. If you're going to keep your memory on your smart phone, better make sure it's fully charged.81.

My university's philosophy was to get students seeing patients early in their education. Nice idea, but it overlooked one detail: second-year students know next to nothingabout medicine.Assigned to my team that day was an attending - a senior faculty member who was there mostly to make patients feel they weren't in the hands of amateurs. Many attendings were researchers who didn't have much recent hospital experience. Mine was actually an arthritisspecialist. Also along was a resident (the real boss, with a staggering mastery of medicine, at least to a rookie like myself). In addition there were two interns( 住院实习医生). These guys were just as green as I was，but in a scarier way: they hadrecently graduated from the medical school, so theywere technically MDI began the day at 6:30 am. An intern and I did a quick check of our eight patients; later, wewere to present our findings to the resident and then to the attending. I had three patients and the intern had the other five -piece of cake.But when I arrived in the room of 71 -year-old Mr. Adams ，he was sitting up in bed, sweating heavily and panting (喘气).He'd just had a hip operation and looked terrible. I listened to his lungs with my stethoscope, but they sounded clear. Next I checked the log of his vital signs and saw that his respiration and heart rate had been climbing, but his temperature was steady. It didn't seem like heart failure, nor did it appear to be pneumonia. So I asked Mr. Adams what he thought was going onIt's really hot in here, Doc, he repliedSo I attributed his condition to the stuffy room and told him the rest of the team would returnin a few hours. He smiled and feebly waved goodbyeAt 8:40 am., during our team meeting, Code Blue Room 307! blared from the loudspeaker.I frozeThat was Mr. Adams's room.When we arrived, he wasmotionless.The autopsy ( 尸体解剖) later found Mr. Adams had suffered a massive pulmonary embolism (肺部栓塞). A blood clothad formed in his leg, worked its way to his lungs, and cut his breathing capacity in half. His symptoms had been textbook: heavy perspiration and shortness of breath despite clear lungs. The only thing was: I hadn't read that chapter in the textbook yet. And I was too scared, insecure, and proud to ask a real doctor for help.This mistake has haunted me for nearly 30 years, but what's particularly frustrating is that the same medical education system persists. Who knows how many people have died or suffered harm at the hands of students as naive as I, and how many more will?86.Why was the author doing rounds in a hospital?[A]He himself wanted to have practice. [B]Students of all majors had to do so.[C]It was part of his medical training. [D]He was on a research team.87. We learn that the author' s team members had __[A]much practical experience[B]adequate knowledg[C]long been workingthere[D]some professional deficiency88.

In 1964, four in ten adults in the USsmoked; today fewer than two in ten do. But some states -Kentucky, South Dakota and Alabamato name just a few - seem to have missed the message thatsmoking is deadlyTheir failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was started on Jan.11, 1964, by the first Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health. Its finding that smoking is a cause of lung cancer and other diseases was major news then. The hazards of smoking were just starting to emergeThe report led to cigarette warning labels, a ban on TV ads and eventually an anti-smokingmovement that shifted the nation's attitude on smoking. Then, smokers were cool. Today, manyare outcasts, rejected by restaurants, bars, public buildings and even their own workplaces.Millions of lives have been savedThe formula for success is no longer guesswork: Adopt tough warning labels, air publicservice ads, fund smoking cessation programs and impose smoke -free laws. But the surest way to prevent smoking, particularly among price -sensitive teens, is to raise taxes. If you can stop them from smoking, you've won the war. Few people start smoking after turning 19.The real-life evidence of taxing power is powerful. The 10 states with the lowest adult smoking rates slap an average tax of $2.42 on every pack -- three times the average tax in the stateswith the highest smoking rates.New York has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $4.35 per pack, and just 12 percent of teens smoke, far below the national average of 18 percent. Compare that with Kentucky, where taxes are low (60 cents), smoking restrictions are weak and the teen smoking rate is double New York's. Other low -tax states have similarly dismal records.Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately on the poor. True, but so do the deadly effects of smoking, far worse than a tax. The effect of thetaxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or persuade teens not to start. Anti -smoking forces have plenty to celebrate this week, having helped avoid 8 million premature deaths in the past 50 years. But as long as 3,000 adolescents and teens take their first puff each day, the war is not won.91. What does counting mean in the context[A] Continuing.[B] Including.[C] Calculating.[D] Relying on.92.According to the context, Their failure refers to__ _____[A] those adults who continue to smo[B]those states that missed the messa[C]findings of the repo[D]hazards of smoking93.The following are all efforts that led to the change of attitude on smoking EXCEPT_____[A]rejecting by the publ[B] cigarette warning labe[C]anti -smoking campaig[D]anti-smoking legislation94.According to the author, raising tax on cigarettes_______[A]is unfair to the po[B]is an effective measu[C]increases public reven[D]fails to solve the problem 95.What is the passage mainly about[A]How to stage anti -smoking campaign[B]The effects of the report on smoking and healt[C] Tax as the surest path to cut smoking. [D]The efforts to cut down on teenage smokingTEXT DAttachment Parenting is not Indulgent Parenting. Attachment parents do not spoil their children. Spoiling is done when a child is given everything that they want regardless of what they need and regardless of what is practical. Indulgent parents give toys for tantrums( 发脾气), ice cream for breakfast. Attachment parents don't give their children everything that they want, they give their children everything that they need. Attachment parents believe that love and comfort are free and necessary. Not sweets or toysAttachment Parenting is not afraid of tears parenting. Our kids cry. The difference is thatwe understand that tantrums and tears come from emotions andnot manipulation. And our children understand this too, They cry and have tantrums sometimes, of course. But they do this because their emotions are so overwhelming that they need to get it out. They do not expect to be rewarded for their strong negative emotions; they simply expect that we will listen. We pick up our babies when they cry, and we respond to the tears of our older children because we believe firmly that comfort is free, love is free, and that when a child has need for comfort and love, it isour job to provide those things. We are not afraid of tears. We don't avoid them. We hold ourchildren through them and teach them that when they are hurt or frustrated we are here to comfort them and help them work through their emotions.Attachment Parenting is not Clingy Parenting. I do not cling to my children, In feet, I'm pretty free -range. As soon as they can move they usually move away from me and let me set up a chase as they crawl, run, skip and hop on their merry way to explore the world, Sure, I carry them and hug them and chase them and kiss them and rock them and sleep with them, But this is not me following them everywhere and pulling them back to。

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEETPassage OneA few centuries ago, people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them. There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky.About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky. they dreamed of falling from the sky!In the 15th century, Italian inventors designed a cone-shaped (锥形）device that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a handle with straps strapped to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute (降落伞）.Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute. His parachute design was in the shape of a pyramid (金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a parachute. Unfortunately, these were only designs on paper andno one tested them.A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci's parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65 years old. he fell ill. Thinking he would not live longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Strapping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell lower in his city. Helanded safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully usea parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.16.The first known parachute was designed by ________________________________.A.FrenchmenB.ItaliansC. CroatiansD. Englishmen17.Leonardo da Vinci's parachute was shaped like a ________________________________ .A. coneB. featherC. pyramidD. sail18.Which of the following about Fausto Veranzio is true?A.He copied da Vinci's parachute design.B.He made his parachute with leather and wood.C.He experimented with his parachute many times.D.He decided to try his parachute after he was seriously ill.19.As for the first man who successfully used a parachute. ________________________________ .A.it was said to be Leonardo da VinciB we know for sure he was VeranzioC.there were some historical recordsD.we don't know for sure yet20.The passage is mainly about ___________________________ .A.the origin of the parachuteB. the dreams of flying and fallingC.the courage of dropping from the skyD.the application of parachute inventionPassage TwoOut of all the students who enroll in a massive open online course (MOOC), only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate of accomplishment. This statistic is often cited as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed(有缺陷的) and offer little educational value to moststudents. Yet more than 80 percent of students who fill out a post-course survey say they met their primary objective. How do we look at these two facts?We're used to focusing on completion rates in higher education, but they're not the only-or even the most meaningful-indicator of engagement in open online courses. With no cost to enroll, no punishment for dropping out. and little reward for actually earning a certificate. MOOCs arc fundamentally different from traditional classes-and students use them in fundamentally different ways.Data from more than 1.8 million enrolled in 36 MOOCs offered by the University of Pennsylvania show that students treat MOOCs like a buffet(自助餐)， sampling the material according to their interests and career goals. Some are curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures; others use the discussion forums to connect with their intellectual peer , around the world. Of all enrolled students, nearly 60 percent watch at least one video, complete at least one assignment, or post at least once in a forum.So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOOC is misguided. The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions.21. What do we learn about MOOCs from Para.1 ?A.There seems to be conflicting statistics about MOOCs.B.It turns out that MOOCs have failed people's expectations.C.Most students find it hard to judge the value of MOOCs.D.The educational value of MOOCs is well acknowledged.22. In Para. 2, the author stresses __________________ .A.the primary objective of MOOC studentsB.the significance of completion rates in educationC.the strengths and weaknesses of open online coursesD.the differences between MOOCs and traditional classes23. According to Para. 3. students choose MOOCs for the following reasons EXCEPT_____.A.earning a certificateB.improving job-related skillsC. meeting their interest in the subjectsD. exchanging ideas with students worldwide24. The sentence "students treat MOOCs as a buffet " (Para. 3) ___________________________ .A.emphasizes the core value of MOOCsB.demonstrates the daily operation of MOOCsC.indicates students are free to choose MOOC resourcesD.explains what students learn from MOOC courses25. What is the author's attitude toward MOOCs?A.Critical.B.Supportive.C.Indifferent.D.Neutral.Passage ThreeWhether you are hiking through the magnificent redwoods of Northern California, sleeping under the brilliant stars of the Texas sky, or watching the sun rise across the rocky cliffs of Maine, experiencing the outdoor world can be inspiring, thrilling, and deeply satisfying. And one of the best ways to enjoy the abundant gifts of the natural world is simple, inexpensive, and available to almost everyone. Let's go camping!When you camp，you create a “home away from home” in the fresh air. You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment to enjoy camping. What you need is simply a tent large enough for your family. Practice setting up the tent at home to make sure you are familiar with the process before you go camping.Once you find a good site, it's time to set up camp. Your first job is to set up your tent. Remove all sticks and rocks from the area. Spread a tarp(防水帆布)over the area where your tent will sit. Set up the tent and be sure to stake it down firmly, even if the weather is mild. Otherwise, strong wind can blow your tent away.Next, you’ll need some firewood for a campfire. It gathering wood is illegal at your campground, you must buy it at the camp store. It gathering dead wood is permitted, go on a firewood-hunting journey and bring in a good supply of wood for your campsite. Pile the wood safely away from the campfire ring and where no one will trip over the wood or hurt his or her legs on sharp branches.Being a responsible camper requires that you follow the rules of the campground. Do not burn food or plastic in your campfire. Make sure that you leave your campsite in good condition for the next campers. Just before leaving the site, make a final check to be certain that your campfire is completely out. Pour water on the ashes just to be sale!26. As is suggested by the author, you should practice setting up your tentA.before the weather turns badB.before your first camping tripC.after having selected your campsiteD.once you have decided here to go27. What is the first thing you should do alter choosing a campsite?A.Gather firewood.B.Spread a trap on the ground.C.Set up the tent.D.Remove sticks and rocks from the tent area.28. You can gather firewood only ______________________ .A.after you are sure that it is permittedB.after you are certain that no one will get hurtC.if there is no camp store nearbyD.if firewood is out of stock in a camp store29. The last thing you should do before leaving your campsite isA.bum all the trashB.clean the campsiteC.pour water on the ashesD. collect all the rubbish30.The passage is mainly about __________________________ .A.safety measures a camper should takeB.problems you may face as a camperC.what you need to know about campingD.what you need to bring along for campingPassage FourEvery country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. People who threaten to harm a country always plot in secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned before it happens, so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways一by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone. by planting microphones to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on.For most of my career I worked in one of the UK's three intelligence services, MI5, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Cold War,when the world was divided into two armed camps, the Soviet Union (前苏联) and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Cold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other's countries.Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many different countries are working together to find out who they are, where they are and what they are planning. Today's MI5 officers get theirintelligence in much the same way as we did during the Cold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists "want to kill people. Many terroristattacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence sendees find them out and prevent them.31. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The tasks of intelligence agencies.B.The contributions of intelligence agencies.C.The equipment used by intelligence agents.D.The recruitment of intelligence agents.32. The biggest security threats for Britain in the 1970s were from_______.A.international terroristsB.the Soviet Union and its alliesC.major criminals within the countryD.agents working for both camps33. What is true about the Cold War?A.Both camps were planning to start a war.B.It was a war fought with advanced weapons.C.No fierce clash broke out during the period.D.It is not regarded as an intelligence war.34. MI5 officers' task is more urgent today in thatA.terrorists arc more difficult to find than spies.B.most terrorist attacks are aimed at killing peopleC.terrorist attacks happen more frequently than beforeD.it takes only a little time to prepare a terrorist attack35.

Using Music to Change Your MoodEveryone knows that listening to music when feeling bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress,make depression more bearable and help you relax.All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring, it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one.Now let's examine what most of us do when it comes to listening tomusic. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program torandomly(任意地) select the songs we are going to listen to.This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song butfound the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating songwhile the fourth didn't suit your emotions? What do you think the resultwill be?What you'll have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift yourmood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third willmotivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you'll endup feeling worse than before.I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different smalllists. For example,a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and soon. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of all of theold music that you are bored of. Besides, don't listen to songs withnegative words or messages.The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups(分手)bymonths and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakupsrecover 10 times slower than those who don't. So be careful with your playlist if you want to recover faster.1.Music is believed to have a comforting effect.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given答案：A解析：题干大意:人们认为音乐可以产生安慰的效果。
