In the August sun, it’s unbearably hot in my car. I’m in Vancouver, approaching the Knight Street Bridge as I try to get home after work. It’s 5:15 pm. Traffic is already slowing down and then it comes to a full stop. I’m stuck even before getting on the bridge.
This has become my normal work commute (上下班往返) routine. Ahead of me is a heavily jammed on-ramp (匝道). I stare at the endless rows of vehicles, depressed.
At first I think this is not how it looks. The traffic will soon start moving. Seconds pass. Minutes pass. Looking at the rows of cars and trucks glittering in the sun, I start counting — 299, 300, 301 — and I give up.
Suddenly I remember I’m one of the 300 helpless drivers. But I stay focused. When the cars do move I move carefully, making sure not to bump into other vehicles. Finally, I make it onto the bridge. The traffic is still crawling at a snail’s pace. Tired and hungry, I become very anxious.
Just then, I hear a weak sound in the distance. The sound gradually becomes louder, until I can identify it as an emergency vehicle approaching from behind. What do we do The bridge is packed. There’s no room for us to move.
But I’m wrong. Every single car quickly, yet carefully, moves to the side. Without thinking, I follow suit. The lane remains open for a few seconds during which the ambulance flashes through.
Afterward, every car moves back. We close up the emergency lane, ready to continue our patient wait. Back in my spot, I forget my tiredness and hunger. My anxiety is gone. I start reflecting upon what 300 fellow drivers and I just did.
How did we do that Despite our exhaustion, we collectively decided to help the stranger who needed the time more desperately than we did. We drew on our sympathy (同情心) and intelligence, requiring no directives.
Although I may seem alone stuck on the bridge, I’m connected to all the other drivers. Together we could make the impossible possible.
4. What did the author think of his commute routine
A. It was surprising. B. It was annoying. C. It was boring. D. It was confusing.
5. When was the author’s anxiety gone
A. When he was stuck in the traffic. B. After the ambulance flashed through.
C. After they decided to help the stranger. D. When he heard the sound of the ambulance.
6. What can we learn from the passage
A. The author got on the bridge at 5:15 pm.
B. Moving carefully the author still bumped into other cars.
C. Every driver made room for the ambulance automatically.
D. The author followed the ambulance through the bridge.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The drivers didn’t make a difference. B. The author was stuck alone on the bridge.
C. The author talked with the other drivers. D. People’s kindness made the miracle happen.
C
Almost all calligraphy(书法) lovers agree that writing characters with a brush and ink on straw paper offers a way to communicate with not only history and culture, but also oneself. But now Chinese character handwriting is under threat from computers and mobile phones.
A college graduate looking for a job was reportedly turned down by a company because he wrote 24 characters incorrectly in a 400 character handwritten resume. A survey by HorizonKey, covering people from 12 major cities in China, found that nearly one third of those interviewed often experience “character amnesia(遗忘)”， with 94 percent saying this is a problem for them.
The main reason is that most Chinese rely too much on the pinyin based Chinese language input method, which is replacing the tradition of writing characters stroke(笔画) by stroke. The software will conveniently choose the right characters according to the context or word frequency, as there are dozens of characters with the same pronunciation in Chinese.
Education is another problem. In college, most homework and papers are printed out, instead of handwritten. And few teachers use chalk and blackboards, with Microsoft's PowerPoint the most often used software to teach knowledge to students.
The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason why students are easily satisfied with just a poor knowledge of the Chinese language and characters. It is quicker to look up a character in an electronic dictionary, but traditional printed dictionaries offer more detailed information on the usage and meaning of the characters. Students pay more attention to remembering a character's pronunciation, but not the other knowledge related to it, which e dictionaries rarely provide.
Another worry is the “pollution” of Chinese characters by Internet language. Young people regard using Internet language as cool and fashionable. After they learn to use these expressions, they automatically include them in their writing.
8. With the example of a college graduate, the author shows ________.
A. that practicing can improve writing
B. why certain people are poor writers
C. that there are differences in students' writing
D. why Chinese character handwriting is in great danger
9. By saying “...those interviewed often experience ‘character amnesia(遗忘)’”， the writer means those interviewed ________.
A. are not good at handwriting
B. can't write characters accurately
C. show no interest in handwriting
D. find jobs much more difficultly
10. What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 5
A. Dependence on electronic devices.
B. Advantages of electronic dictionaries.
C. Mastery of knowledge of the characters.
D. Disadvantages of published dictionaries.
11. What's the writer's attitude towards the Internet language
A. Favorable. B. Uncaring.
C. Disapproving. D. Friendly.

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In the August sun, it’s unbearably hot in my car. I’m in Vancouver, approaching the Knight Street Bridge as I try to get home after work. It’s 5:15 pm. Traffic is already slowing down and then it comes to a full stop. I’m stuck even before getting on the bridge.(八月的阳光下，我的车热得受不了。我现在在温哥华，下班后要回家，正靠近骑士街大桥。现在是下午5:15。交通已经慢下来了，然后又停了下来。我还没上桥就卡住了)”和第二段“his has become my normal work commute (上下班往返) routine. Ahead of me is a heavily jammed on-ramp (匝道). I stare at the endless rows of vehicles, depressed.( 这已经成为了我上下班的日常。我前面是一个严重堵塞的入口匝道。我盯着那一望无际的车辆，心情沮丧)”可知，上下班经常是交通拥堵。由此推知，作者认为他的通勤路线很烦人。故选B。

细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s 5:15 pm. Traffic is already slowing down and then it comes to a full stop.(我现在在温哥华，下班后要回家，正靠近骑士街大桥。现在是下午5:15。)”可知，A选项错误；根据第四段“When the cars do move, I move carefully, making sure not to bump into other vehicles.(当汽车开动时，我小心翼翼地移动，确保不撞到其他车辆)”可知，B选项错误；根据倒数第四段“But I’m wrong. Every single car quickly, yet carefully, moves to the side. Without thinking, I follow suit. The lane remains open for a few seconds during which the ambulance flashes through.(但我错了。每一辆车都迅速而小心地移到一边。我不假思索地照做了。车道保持开放的几秒钟，其间救护车闪过) ”可知，C选项正确，D选项错误。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although I may seem alone stuck on the bridge, I’m connected to all the other drivers. Together we could make the impossible possible.(虽然我看起来像是独自一人被困在桥上，但我与所有其他司机都有联系。我们可以一起把不可能变成可能)”和上文可知，300多个司机堵在桥上，但是为了给救护车让路，都迅速而小心的移到一边，让救护车迅速通过。由此推知，人们的善良可以让奇迹发生。故选D。
C
Almost all calligraphy(书法) lovers agree that writing characters with a brush and ink on straw paper offers a way to communicate with not only history and culture, but also oneself. But now Chinese character handwriting is under threat from computers and mobile phones.
A college graduate looking for a job was reportedly turned down by a company because he wrote 24 characters incorrectly in a 400 character handwritten resume. A survey by HorizonKey, covering people from 12 major cities in China, found that nearly one third of those interviewed often experience “character amnesia(遗忘)”， with 94 percent saying this is a problem for them.
The main reason is that most Chinese rely too much on the pinyin based Chinese language input method, which is replacing the tradition of writing characters stroke(笔画) by stroke. The software will conveniently choose the right characters according to the context or word frequency, as there are dozens of characters with the same pronunciation in Chinese.
Education is another problem. In college, most homework and papers are printed out, instead of handwritten. And few teachers use chalk and blackboards, with Microsoft's PowerPoint the most often used software to teach knowledge to students.
The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason why students are easily satisfied with just a poor knowledge of the Chinese language and characters. It is quicker to look up a character in an electronic dictionary, but traditional printed dictionaries offer more detailed information on the usage and meaning of the characters. Students pay more attention to remembering a character's pronunciation, but not the other knowledge related to it, which e dictionaries rarely provide.
Another worry is the “pollution” of Chinese characters by Internet language. Young people regard using Internet language as cool and fashionable. After they learn to use these expressions, they automatically include them in their writing.
8. With the example of a college graduate, the author shows ________.
A. that practicing can improve writing
B. why certain people are poor writers
C. that there are differences in students' writing
D. why Chinese character handwriting is in great danger
9. By saying “...those interviewed often experience ‘character amnesia(遗忘)’”， the writer means those interviewed ________.
A. are not good at handwriting
B. can't write characters accurately
C. show no interest in handwriting
D. find jobs much more difficultly
10. What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 5
A. Dependence on electronic devices.
B. Advantages of electronic dictionaries.
C. Mastery of knowledge of the characters.
D. Disadvantages of published dictionaries.
11. What's the writer's attitude towards the Internet language
A. Favorable. B. Uncaring.
C. Disapproving. D. Friendly.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【详解】随着电脑上的汉语输入法、办公软件以及电子产品的影响，人们手写汉字的能力在减弱。
1.D 考查推理判断。根据第一段最后一句可知，汉字书写面临电脑和手机的威胁，而第二段紧接着讲述了一名大学毕业生求职时被一家公司拒绝，因为他在一份400字的手写简历中写错了24个字；接下来的几段说明了汉字书写面临威胁的原因。由此可推知，作者用这个例子是为了阐释汉字书写处在威胁之中的原因。故选D。
2. B 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“character amnesia(遗忘)”“problem”及所举一个大学毕业生书写多个错误汉字的例子可推知，作者在此表达受访者的汉字书写存在问题。故选B。
3. A 考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason...to look up a character in an electronic dictionary”可知，该段描述的是学生对电子产品过于依赖的现象。故选A。
4. C 考查推理判断。根据第六段的内容，尤其是第一句中的“pollution”可推知，作者对网络语言的使用持不赞成的态度。故选C。

Recent research shows that listening to music improves our health in surprising ways. If we take a music lesson or two, that musical training can help raise our IQs and even keep us sharp in old age. ____12____
Music Reduces Pain
As Bob Marely once put it: “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” Research at Drexel University found that music reduced pain more than standard treatments in cancer patients. Other research showed that music can ease pain in patients. ____13____
Music Keeps Your Brain Healthy in Old Age
A study with healthy older adults found that those with ten or more years of musical experience scored higher on cognitive (认知的) tests than musicians with one to nine years of musical study. ____14____ “Since studying an instrument requires years of practice and learning, it may create the connections in the brain that could make up for cognitive decreases as we get older,” said lead researcher Brenda Hanna-Pladdy.
____15____
A study showed that students who listened to relaxing classical music for 45 minutes before turning in slept much better than students who listened to an audiobook or did nothing different from their normal routine. If you’re having trouble sleeping, try listening to a little Mozart before bedtime.
Music Raises IQ and Academic Performance
____16____ In one study, 6-year-olds who took keyboard or singing lessons in small groups for 36 weeks had large increases in IQ and standardized educational test results than children who took either drama lessons or no lessons. To help children achieve academic excellence, encourage them to take music lessons.
A. Music Relaxes People
B. Music Helps You Sleep Better
C. The non-musicians scored the lowest.
D. Here are some amazing benefits of music.
E. Therefore, standard treatments are strongly advised by doctors.
F. But the selection needed to be either classical pieces or their choices.
G. Research shows that learning music predicts higher scores in children.
【答案】12. D 13. F 14. C 15. B 16. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了音乐的四种令人惊叹的好处。
【12题详解】
上文“Recent research shows that listening to music improves our health in surprising ways. If we take a music lesson or two, that musical training can help raise our IQs and even keep us sharp in old age.(最近的研究表明，听音乐以令人惊讶的方式改善我们的健康。如果我们上一两节音乐课，这种音乐训练可以帮助提高我们的智商，甚至让我们在老年时保持敏锐。)”说明听音乐有利于改善健康，提高智商，甚至让我们在老年时保持敏锐；再结合下文讲述的音乐的种种好处，所以空处应该总说，音乐有以下的好处。D选项“Here are some amazing benefits of music.(以下是音乐的一些令人惊叹的好处。)”承接上文，符合语境。故选D。
【13题详解】
上文“Other research showed that music can ease pain in patients. (其他研究表明，音乐可以缓解病人的疼痛。)”说明听音乐有助于减轻疼痛；所以空处应承接前文，说明什么样的音乐才能减轻病人的痛苦。F选项“But the selection needed to be either classical pieces or their choices.(但选择的音乐必须是古典作品或者他们选择的作品。)”承接上文，选项中的“the selection”指的是减轻病人疼痛的音乐的选择，由此可知，F选项符合语境。故选F。
【14题详解】
上文“A study with healthy older adults found that those with ten or more years of musical experience scored higher on cognitive (认知的) tests than musicians with one to nine years of musical study.(一项针对健康老年人的研究发现，具有十年或更长时间音乐经验的人，在认知测试中的得分高于拥有一到九年音乐研究的音乐家。)”可知学习音乐时间越长的老年人在认知测试中得分越高；C选项“The non-musicians scored the lowest.(没有受过音乐训练的人得分最低。)”承接上文，说明没学过音乐的人得分最低，选项中的“non-musicians”与上文中的“those with ten or more years of musical experience”和“musicians with one to nine years of musical study.”相对应，选项中的“scored the lowest”与上文中的“scored higher”相对应；下文“‘Since studying an instrument requires years of practice and learning, it may create the connections in the brain that could make up for cognitive decreases as we get older,’ said lead researcher Brenda Hanna-Pladdy.(首席研究员Brenda Hanna-Pladdy说：‘因为研究一种乐器需要多年的练习和学习，它可能会在大脑中建立连接，从而弥补我们随着年龄的增长而出现的认知下降。’)”承接上文说明学音乐时间越长的老年人认知能力测试分数越高的原因。故选C。
【15题详解】
根据文章结构分析可知，设空处是概括下段内容的小标题；由下文“A study showed that students who listened to relaxing classical music for 45 minutes before turning in slept much better than students who listened to an audiobook or did nothing different from their normal routine. If you’re having trouble sleeping, try listening to a little Mozart before bedtime. (一项研究表明，睡前听45分钟放松的古典音乐的学生比听有声读物或不做任何与日常生活不同的事情的学生睡得更好。如果你睡不着觉，试着在睡前听一小段莫扎特的音乐。)”可知此段主要讲听音乐可以睡得更好；B选项“Music Helps You Sleep Better(音乐有助于你更好地睡眠)”可以概括本段，适合作为本段标题，选项中的“Sleep Better”与下文中的“slept much better”表达意思一致。故选B。
【16题详解】
由本段的小标题“Music Raises IQ and Academic Performance(音乐可以提高智商和学习成绩)”可知此段主要阐述音乐对于智商和学习成绩的益处； G选项“Research shows that learning music predicts higher scores in children.(研究表明，学习音乐预示着孩子们更高的分数。)”说明学习音乐可以提高学习成绩，符合本段主旨，选项中的“high scores”与小标题中的“Raises IQ and Academic Performance”表达内容一致；下文“In one study, 6-year-olds who took keyboard or singing lessons in small groups for 36 weeks had large increases in IQ and standardized educational test results than children who took either drama lessons or no lessons. (在一项研究中，6岁的孩子在36周内小组学习键盘或唱歌课程，他们的智商和标准化教育测试结果都比不学习戏剧课程或不学习戏剧的孩子大幅度提高。)”承接上文，运用一项研究结果来说明学习音乐能够提高智商和学习成绩，下文中的“took keyboard or singing lessons”指的是学习音乐，与选项中的“learning music”表述内容一致，故选G。
