Section B (每题2分，共22分)
Directions: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Exciting concertos (协奏曲) from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons can boost mental alertness, according to research from Northumbria University.
The findings, which are published in Experimental Psychology, show that the exciting first movement, in particular, is capable of enhancing attention and memory.
In the experiment a group of 14 young adults were given a mental concentration task to perform. They were asked to press the space bar on a keyboard when a green square appeared on screen and ignore different colored circles and squares that appeared at intervals. The participants carried out this task both in silence and while listening to each of the four concertos while their brain activity was measured using EEG brain imaging.
Results showed that participants responded correctly faster when listening to the exciting Spring concerto. When listening to the concerto, the average response time in performing the task was 393.8 millisecond as opposed to 408.1 milliseconds when the task was carried out in silence. This response time rose to 413.3 milliseconds when they listened to the slower and sadder Autumn music, therefore showing a decrease in mental capacity.
Psychologist Dr. Leigh Riby said, “The Spring movement enhanced overall activity within the brain but had an exaggerated effect on the area of the brain that’s important for emotional processing. It seemed to give rise to particular imagery in the brain and evoke positive, contented feelings which translated into higher levels of cognitive functioning.”
Dr. Riby suggests that the Spring movement is particularly special and could be used in therapy and is, in fact, quite a familiar piece to most people as it has been used successfully in marketing to induce mood and influence behavior.
He also found that the key in which the music was written had no impact on brain performance. While the Spring concerto, which is written in a major key enhanced cognitive function, the Autumn movement, which is also written in a major key, did not.
He added, “This experiment shows that cognitive capacity is enhanced when pleasant and arousing stimuli are introduced.”
36. What do we know about the research from Northumbria University
A. It was conducted in four different seasons of a year.
B. It showed music can boost mental alertness.
C. It was done by a group of 14 young adults.
D. The results of the research have been published.
37. Under what circumstance did participants respond correctly faster
A. When they were in complete silence.
B. When they were listening to slow and sad music.
C. When they were listening to the Autumn concerto.
D. When they were listening to the Spring concerto.
38. Why are most people quite familiar with the Spring movement
A. It has been used in therapy settings.
B. It has been successfully used in marketing.
C. People think it quite special and classic.
D. People usually listen to it to adjust their mood.
39. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. The key in which the music was written was never important.
B. The Spring and the Autumn movement were written in different keys.
C. Pleasant and arousing stimuli can enhance cognitive capacity.
D. The Autumn concerto could enhance cognitive ability.
(B)
Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS
Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost 169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost 118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid — or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time — check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION
If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was 95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF
Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE
London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or 5 per day).
40. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.
A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent Garden
C. an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency
41. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.
A. lies on the ground floor
B. is located in central London
C. provides cooking facilities for tourists
D. costs over 100 on average per day in late September
42. The main purpose of the passage is __________.
A. to tell visitors how to book in advance
B. to supply visitors with hotel information
C. to show visitors the importance of self-help
D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips
(C)
Children who spent more than two hours per day in front of a television or computer screen were more likely to report behavioral and social problems than kids who watched less, according to a University of Bristol study that will be published in Pediatrics.
Researchers recorded the playing, screen viewing and activity habits of 1,000 children aged 10 to 11. They also had the kids fill out questionnaires designed to estimate the kids’ emotional well-being and behavior.
The questionnaires contained 20 questions covering five sections—emotional difficulties, conduct problems, hyperactivity (活动过度), inattention, friendship and peer groups and problems relating to friends and peer groups.
The study found that those children who spent more than two hours per day watching TV or using a computer were at an increased risk of psychological difficulties. This risk increased if they also failed to meet the guidelines on physical activity.
While the risks for kids who spent a lot of time in front of a screen appeared to be increased by lack of physical activity, the opposite was not true: Increase in physical activity did not seem to decrease kids’ high scores in psychological difficulties if they spent a lot of time sedentary (久坐 的) in front of a screen. By contrast, sedentary time spent reading a book or working on a project corresponded to the highest scores of psychological well-being.
“While low levels of screen viewing may not be problematic, we cannot rely on physical activity to compensate for long hours of screen viewing,” lead author Dr. Angie Page said in a statement. “Watching TV or playing computer games for more than two hours a day is related to greater psychological difficulties regardless of how active children are.”
Although Page’s study doesn’t clarify the links between inactivity, screen time and psychological well-being, it’s true that kids in the United States are getting less exercise and more screen time than they should. In 2009, Page’s team found a connection between a child’s physical activity and independent mobility, the amount of space in which a child can play without the supervision of an adult. They concluded that, as play spaces have decreased in recent decades, childhood inactivity-and perhaps screen time—has increased.
43. What information can we get about the University of Bristol study
A. It was done by an elementary school.
B. The results of it have been published.
C. All the kids studied had to fill out questionnaires.
D. The questionnaires of it contained five questions.
44. The researchers’ purpose of letting the kids fill out questionnaires was to________.
A make a judgment about the kids’ behavior and how healthy they were emotionally
B. estimate the average time kids spent in front of a screen
C. infer whether the kids have psychological problems or not
D. get information about the psychological activity kids like
45. Why do more kids lack physical activities according to Page’s team
A. More electronic products have poured into their world.
B. They have too much homework to do.
C. They have fewer spaces to play in.
D. They lack the supervision of their parents.
46. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. A study shows more screen time and inactivity increase kids’ risks of psychological difficulties.
B. A study clarifies the links between inactivity, screen time and psychological well-being.
C. A study illustrates why childhood inactivity and screen time have increased.
D. A study demonstrates how to limit children’s TV and screen time at home.
Section C(每题2分，共8分)
Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can once.Note are two more sentences you need .
Water is a key ingredients in a healthy diet and lifestyle.There are many health benefits of drinking water. It helps flush impurities and toxins out of our systems. ____47____ In fact, nearly every system in our bodies relies on water for proper functioning. But what will happen if the water you drink every day is unhealthy
In past decades, concerns about tap water and its impact on overall health led some people to tun to bottled waters. You could pay to have a company deliver large bulky plastic bottles of water for the water cooler. Or you could purchase gallon jugs of distilled or “drinking water” at the grocery store.
In recent years there has been an explosion in the number of different bottled waters available, with big distributors such as Coke and Pepsi jumping on the bandwagon. But are bottled drinking waters like Coke’s Dasani brand, Pepsi’s Aquafina, or Wal-Mart’s store brand really any healthier than your tap water ____48____
As we have learned more about the water we drink,the technology behind drinking water filters and purification systems has improved dramatically. There are filters to remove impurities, chemicals,heavy metals, bacteria and almost every contaminant you can think of.With the right size and filter combination for your specific home, your tap water can be exceptionally pure and healthy.
____49____ Although the initial cost of a whole house system usually amounts to several hundred dollars,that cost is often less than $100 a year if spread out over the life of the system.
There may be additional expenses to replace carbon filters or lamps in an ultraviolet light water treatment device. These expenses can add another $100 or so to the annual cost of operating drinking water filters and purification systems.
While some people may hesitate to spend so much each year for clean, safe drinking water, they are probably paying more for bottled drinking water. They understand that it is more expensive, but they are still willing to pay the extra money because bottled water is thought to be safer and healthier than filtered drinking water. ____50____ In reality, however, few bottled waters come from natural springs,and most of them use municipal tap water.
A. Drinking water filtration systems have also become more affordable and easy to use.
B. After all, bottled water is often marketed as “natural spring water” or “pure glacier water.”
C. It aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients.
D. And with a water filter, you at least know where the water you drink came from.
E. Or would you be better off with a drinking water filtration system
F. So how do you tell if the water you are drinking is safe

Section B (每题2分，共22分)
Directions: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Exciting concertos (协奏曲) from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons can boost mental alertness, according to research from Northumbria University.
The findings, which are published in Experimental Psychology, show that the exciting first movement, in particular, is capable of enhancing attention and memory.
In the experiment a group of 14 young adults were given a mental concentration task to perform. They were asked to press the space bar on a keyboard when a green square appeared on screen and ignore different colored circles and squares that appeared at intervals. The participants carried out this task both in silence and while listening to each of the four concertos while their brain activity was measured using EEG brain imaging.
Results showed that participants responded correctly faster when listening to the exciting Spring concerto. When listening to the concerto, the average response time in performing the task was 393.8 millisecond as opposed to 408.1 milliseconds when the task was carried out in silence. This response time rose to 413.3 milliseconds when they listened to the slower and sadder Autumn music, therefore showing a decrease in mental capacity.
Psychologist Dr. Leigh Riby said, “The Spring movement enhanced overall activity within the brain but had an exaggerated effect on the area of the brain that’s important for emotional processing. It seemed to give rise to particular imagery in the brain and evoke positive, contented feelings which translated into higher levels of cognitive functioning.”
Dr. Riby suggests that the Spring movement is particularly special and could be used in therapy and is, in fact, quite a familiar piece to most people as it has been used successfully in marketing to induce mood and influence behavior.
He also found that the key in which the music was written had no impact on brain performance. While the Spring concerto, which is written in a major key enhanced cognitive function, the Autumn movement, which is also written in a major key, did not.
He added, “This experiment shows that cognitive capacity is enhanced when pleasant and arousing stimuli are introduced.”
36. What do we know about the research from Northumbria University
A. It was conducted in four different seasons of a year.
B. It showed music can boost mental alertness.
C. It was done by a group of 14 young adults.
D. The results of the research have been published.

C. When they were listening to the Autumn concerto.
D. When they were listening to the Spring concerto.
38. Why are most people quite familiar with the Spring movement
A. It has been used in therapy settings.
B. It has been successfully used in marketing.
C. People think it quite special and classic.
D. People usually listen to it to adjust their mood.
39. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. The key in which the music was written was never important.
B. The Spring and the Autumn movement were written in different keys.
C. Pleasant and arousing stimuli can enhance cognitive capacity.
D. The Autumn concerto could enhance cognitive ability.
【答案】36. D 37. D 38. B 39. C

【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Dr. Riby suggests that the Spring movement is particularly special and could be used in therapy and is, in fact, quite a familiar piece to most people as it has been used successfully in marketing to induce mood and influence behavior.”（里比博士认为，“春天”的运动尤其特别，可以用于治疗，事实上，大多数人都很熟悉它，因为它已成功地用于营销，以诱导情绪和影响行为）可知大多数人对《春季》运动很熟悉是因为它已成功地应用于市场营销中。故选B项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“This experiment shows that cognitive capacity is enhanced when pleasant and arousing stimuli are introduced.”（这个实验表明，当令人愉快和兴奋的刺激出现时，认知能力会增强）可知，令人愉快和兴奋的刺激可以提高认知能力。故选C项。

Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS
Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost 169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost 118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid — or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time — check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION
If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was 95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF
Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE
London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or 5 per day).
40. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.
A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent Garden
C. an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency
41. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.
A. lies on the ground floor
B. is located in central London
C. provides cooking facilities for tourists
D. costs over 100 on average per day in late September
42. The main purpose of the passage is __________.
A. to tell visitors how to book in advance
B. to supply visitors with hotel information
C. to show visitors the importance of self-help
D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips
【答案】40. A 41. C 42. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要给那些计划去英国旅行的人提供了一些帮助他们减少开支的建议。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章“STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION”部分中的“Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was 95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95. (提前两个月预订，9月22日星期六在伦敦Travelodge的Central Euston酒店最便宜的房间是95.95英镑。在火车站旁边的Covent Garden酒店的房间仅需75.75英镑。而在Farringdon，一间双人间的价格仅为62.95英镑)可知，本段在讲酒店房间的价格，房间离火车站越近，价格越高。由此推知，Farringdon的价格最便宜，所以“Farringdon”最有可能是离火车站很远的酒店。故选A。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章“LOOK AFTER YOURSELF”部分中的“As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile (作为另一种选择，可以考虑入住自带厨房的自助公寓。这些公寓通常隐藏在市中心建筑的顶层。一个很好的例子是爱丁堡皇家英里酒店的历史悠久的O’Neill Flat)”可知，O’Neill Flat有自己的厨房，可以为游客提供烹饪工具。故选C。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，再结合文章第一段“Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs. (计划访问英国吗？在这里，我们帮助您降低成本)”可知，文章的主要目的是为游客提供一些省钱的建议。故选D。
(C)
Children who spent more than two hours per day in front of a television or computer screen were more likely to report behavioral and social problems than kids who watched less, according to a University of Bristol study that will be published in Pediatrics.
Researchers recorded the playing, screen viewing and activity habits of 1,000 children aged 10 to 11. They also had the kids fill out questionnaires designed to estimate the kids’ emotional well-being and behavior.
The questionnaires contained 20 questions covering five sections—emotional difficulties, conduct problems, hyperactivity (活动过度), inattention, friendship and peer groups and problems relating to friends and peer groups.
The study found that those children who spent more than two hours per day watching TV or using a computer were at an increased risk of psychological difficulties. This risk increased if they also failed to meet the guidelines on physical activity.
While the risks for kids who spent a lot of time in front of a screen appeared to be increased by lack of physical activity, the opposite was not true: Increase in physical activity did not seem to decrease kids’ high scores in psychological difficulties if they spent a lot of time sedentary (久坐 的) in front of a screen. By contrast, sedentary time spent reading a book or working on a project corresponded to the highest scores of psychological well-being.
“While low levels of screen viewing may not be problematic, we cannot rely on physical activity to compensate for long hours of screen viewing,” lead author Dr. Angie Page said in a statement. “Watching TV or playing computer games for more than two hours a day is related to greater psychological difficulties regardless of how active children are.”
Although Page’s study doesn’t clarify the links between inactivity, screen time and psychological well-being, it’s true that kids in the United States are getting less exercise and more screen time than they should. In 2009, Page’s team found a connection between a child’s physical activity and independent mobility, the amount of space in which a child can play without the supervision of an adult. They concluded that, as play spaces have decreased in recent decades, childhood inactivity-and perhaps screen time—has increased.
43. What information can we get about the University of Bristol study
A. It was done by an elementary school.
B. The results of it have been published.
C. All the kids studied had to fill out questionnaires.
D. The questionnaires of it contained five questions.
44. The researchers’ purpose of letting the kids fill out questionnaires was to________.
A. make a judgment about the kids’ behavior and how healthy they were emotionally
B. estimate the average time kids spent in front of a screen
C. infer whether the kids have psychological problems or not
D. get information about the psychological activity kids like
45. Why do more kids lack physical activities according to Page’s team
A. More electronic products have poured into their world.
B. They have too much homework to do.
C. They have fewer spaces to play in.
D. They lack the supervision of their parents.
46. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. A study shows more screen time and inactivity increase kids’ risks of psychological difficulties.
B. A study clarifies the links between inactivity, screen time and psychological well-being.
C. A study illustrates why childhood inactivity and screen time have increased.
D. A study demonstrates how to limit children’s TV and screen time at home.
【答案】43. C 44. A 45. C 46. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。一项研究表明，长时间看屏幕和不活动会增加孩子出现心理问题的风险，产生行为和社交问题。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Researchers recorded the playing,screen viewing and activity habits of 1,000 children aged 10 to 11.

(2009年，佩奇的团队发现了孩子的身体活动和独立活动之间的联系，独立活动指的是孩子在没有成人监督的情况下玩耍的空间大小。他们得出的结论是，随着近几十年来玩耍空间的减少，儿童的不活动——也许还有看屏幕的时间——增加了。)”可知，佩奇的团队越来越多的孩子缺乏体育活动是由于他们玩耍的空间更少了。故选C项。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Children who spent more than two hours per day in front of a television or computer screen were more likely to report behavioral and social problems than kids who watched less, according to a University of Bristol study that will be published in Pediatrics.

This risk increased if they also failed to meet the guidelines on physical activity. (研究发现，每天看电视或使用电脑的时间超过两小时的孩子出现心理问题的风险更大。如果他们没有达到体育锻炼的要求，这种风险会增加。)”可知，本文讨论了长时间看屏幕和不活动会增加孩子出现心理问题的风险。故选A项。
