Ⅲ.阅读理解
Listening to music can help me focus better. Since I discovered it two years ago, I've used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively. I've found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity.
I first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games. It was a few days before Christmas and I was playing online video games. My parents had just given me a new MP3, so I decided to listen to music through the headphones while I played. After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play. I was playing more naturally. The music relaxed me, and, to a certain extent, distracted me from the game, allowing my subconscious (潜意识的) talent to come through.The music also helped me block out the outside world. With those headphones on I was like a machine, moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions.
Music can also have a great effect on mood. If I'm in a bad mood at work, I'll listen to some of Bob Marley's and get down to business. It always takes my mind off what I'm doing and makes me a happier person. The same is true for classic rock. One summer, I did a boring job collecting bottle openers by hand.Without a radio playing classic rock in the background, I would have hated life.
Listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive message helps you forget your work and have happy thoughts. But the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes. Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks. By trial and error you'll finally discover your best choice. I'm always looking for new concentration aids, so I'd love to know what type of music works best for me.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
“Angie，I know you like to sing，” her father，a worker，told Angela Brown，“but you must have something to fall back on(依靠)．”
Brown took her father's advice. She got a degree in secretarial science before entering Oakwood College，in Huntsville，Alabama. However，her aim was to become a singer at religious meetings. So after graduation she headed for Indiana University to study with the famous soprano(女高音歌手) Virginia Zeani.
Once，when Brown was troubled by self-doubt，Zeani said to her，“If you want to be the next Aretha Franklin，you need no more lessons.” Brown remembers her saying.“But if you want to be the best Verdian soprano this world has ever seen，you must work.”
Work she did. Three times she competed in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions(试演)．Three times she failed to make the final round in New York. Then，in 1997 at age 33，the age limit for sopranos to audition，she gave it one more try.She signed up at the last minute and didn't even practice，thinking，“All they could do was to tell me no，and that didn't hurt my feelings anymore.” She had the strength she needed to fall back on if she failed.
She won. But making it in New York was just the beginning. It took her three more years to become an understudy(替角) at the Met. But waiting in the wings was fine with her. Finally，her time came. When the featured singer fell ill，Brown earned the chance to sing the lead role in Aida.And The New York Times described her performance as a great success. Angela Brown，who had prepared for 20 years，was an “overnight” successful singer at age 40.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了美国歌手Angela Brown虽历经多次挫折和失败，仍不放弃，最终实现了自己的梦想。
1．The underlined words “Aretha Franklin” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to “________”．
A．another teacher
B．another singer
C．one of Virginia Zeani's students
D．an understudy at the Met
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第三段可知，Brown跟Zeani学习唱歌，所以当Brown怀疑自己时，Zeani说如果她放弃的话，就会是下一个Aretha Franklin，故Aretha Franklin应是一名歌手。
2．We can learn from the fourth paragraph that Angela Brown ________.
A．failed to make the final round because of her old age
B．failed many auditions because she hadn't practiced hard
C．cared much about the results of the audition in 1997
D．would have lost the last chance if she had failed again in 1997
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Then，in 1997 at age 33，the age limit for sopranos to audition，she gave it one more try.”可知，这次试演是Brown的最后一次机会，如果不成功她就没机会了。
3．When did Angela Brown act as an understudy at the Met?
A．From 1997 to 2000. B．From 2000 to 2004.
C．From 1997 to 2004. D．From 2000 to 2006.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第四、五段中的时间可推知，Brown在36岁时(2000年)担任替角，40岁时成名，她担任替角的时间应是从2000年到2004年。
B
Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays(紫外线) while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach，according to a report by the UK newspaper The Telegraph.
The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University，Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together.They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (a rough path) in Ishikawa District，northern Japan.They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.They found that on the beach，eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules(千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.
The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency.According to the agency，the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent，compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas.The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.
Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin.That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun.But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.
If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time，you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye，which is harmful.Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling.They may be sensitive to light.Fortunately，this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.
Long-term exposure to UV radiation，however，can be more serious.Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage，which could lead to total blindness.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了一项新的研究——紫外线会对眼睛造成伤害。
4．You would most likely find the article in ________.
A．a medical magazine B．a travel journal
C．a doctor's diary D．a physics textbook
解析：选A 文章出处题。本文主要介绍了研究发现紫外线会对眼睛造成伤害，属于医学研究范畴，最有可能出现在医学杂志上，故A项正确。
5．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.
B．Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.
C．Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.
D．The study was conducted by researchers from Japan，the USA and the UK.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“...exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage，which could lead to total blindness.”可知，长时间暴露于紫外线下可能会导致失明，故A项正确。
6．If a place is 1,500 meters higher，the amount of light increases________.
A．15 percent B．20 percent
C．25 percent D．30 percent
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.”可知，高度每增加三百米，紫外线增加百分之四，由此可知高出1 500米的山上紫外线增加百分之二十，故B项正确。
7．What will the passage most probably talk about next?
A．Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.
B．Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.
C．Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.
D．Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.
解析：选B 推理判断题。文章开头由“科学家发现滑雪时更容易受到紫外线伤害”引出话题，故文章接下来应该会介绍如何在滑雪时避免紫外线伤害的一些有效措施，故B项正确。
Ⅳ.七选五
Creating a good study environment takes a little planning. It is well worth the time as the end result will be much more productive study time.

Choose a comfortable seat.__4__ Now a couch can work just fine for this as long as you don't find yourself lying flat after a few minutes.The whole point of studying is to be able to concentrate on the study matter.
__5__ Now this is for the person who needs the background noise.If you find yourself thinking about the song then maybe silence is better for you.

A
Rap music, or hip-hop, is a style of pop music originating in the mid-1970s among black and Hispanic (西班牙的) performers in New York City. At first, it was associated with an athletic style of dancing, known as break-dancing(霹雳舞)．
The 1980s saw the intense diversification(多元化) in rap music, which developed into a more complex form. The simple tales of the 1970s were replaced by the complex, multi-layered beats. Some rappers even became mainstream pop performers, including Kurtis Blow.
Rap music was almost entirely unknown outside of the United States prior_to the 1980s. During that decade, it began to spread and became a part of the music scene in dozens of countries. In the early part of the decade, break-dancing became the first aspect of hip-hop culture to reach Germany, Japan and South Africa. Meanwhile, recorded rap music was released in France and the Philippines.
In the 1990s and the following decade, elements of rap music continued to be absorbed into other kinds of popular music. In Europe, Africa, and Asia, rap music began to reach mainstream audiences.
In the 2000s, the United States has seen the rise of alternative rap music in the form of popular performers like The Roots, Mos Def, and many others.
In some countries, performers have become well known outside of their own countries, and rap music has continued to spread into new lands, including Russia, Egypt, and China.
There are various views on rap music. For example, some people criticize rap music for the promotion of violence, while others admire it as a way to understand cultural idioms and consider many rappers to have an acute social and political awareness.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了rap music的历史。
1．The rap music in the 1980s developed into________.

Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it's a good thing that they can only concentrate for nine seconds！But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish.Our attention span(时长) is getting shorter...and it's all because of technology.
“We move quickly from one site to another on the web，”says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts，“and we are losing the ability to concentrate.”With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average Internet user is just seconds.There are other digital distractions(分心) too：e-mail, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.
Some people are worried about the effect on young people.“You need time to understand and think about what you read，”says Julia Wood, from London.“Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it.I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”
Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students' concentration.Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons.She says that it had an amazing effect：“The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”
But not everyone believes that there is a problem.Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says：“On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn't worth reading.They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully.In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。随着科技的发展，人们将大量时间花在浏览网站上，快速不断地浏览使人们的注意力时长越来越短；但是有人认为，浏览网站，可以提高年轻人的判断能力。
5．Why does the writer mention “goldfish”？
A．To analyze data. B．To introduce a topic.
C．To settle problems. D．To suggest a way out.
解析：选B 推理判断题。文章第一段第一句说金鱼只能集中九秒钟的注意力；结合第一段的第二句“But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish.”可知，人们正变得像金鱼一样；接着文章提出中心论点：由于技术发展，我们的注意力时长变得越来越短。据此可以判断，作者用金鱼的例子是为了引出文章主题，故B项正确。
6．What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr.Ted Selker?
A．Skipping around the Internet.
B．Time to digest information.
C．Traditional methods of reading.
D．Making decisions.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第二段的“We move quickly from one site to another on the web”“and we are losing the ability to concentrate”可知，Ted Selker认为，由于人们快速浏览网站，人们正在丧失集中注意力的能力，故A项正确。
7．What will help students overcome a short attention span?
A．Receiving emails.
B．Texting messages.
C．Reading more books.
D．Watching quickie movies.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”可知，阅读更多的书将有助于学生克服注意力时间短的问题，故C项正确。
8．What is Ray Cole's attitude towards looking through websites quickly?
A．Cautious. B．Unfavorable.
C．Skeptical. D．Supportive.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But not everyone believes that there is a problem....‘On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn't worth reading.’”可知，Ray Cole认为年轻人快速浏览网站可以提高自己快速判断的能力；据此可判断，Ray Cole对快速浏览网站持支持态度，故D项正确。

Dear Tim，
As we all know, music benefits us a lot. And some students even like listening to music while doing homework. Is it really good for us? Recently, we have done a survey about it.
About 80% students think listening to music while doing homework will disturb us to finish homework, for it will distract our attentions. However, the rest hold that music can make us relaxed while doing homework, so that we can improve our efficiency. As for me, I am against listening to music while doing homework. What about you? Please tell me your opinion.
Yours，

Christopher Plummer (the hero) is wonderful as the serious captain melts into gentleness when singing Edelweiss.And Julie Andrews (the heroine) shows her addictive voice in such songs as I Have Confidence.

Do you play a musical instrument？Would you like to share a stage with world-class famous composers(作曲家)？Do you dream of becoming the next Lang Lang？Now is your chance to_make_it_big in the classical music world，thanks to a video-sharing website.
In collaboration with(与……合作) orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra，New York Philharmonic and several others，the video-sharing site has launched the “YouTube Symphony Orchestra Project”．
Billed(宣传) as the world's first collaborative online orchestra，the site wants users to submit videos showing their musical talent.
Beijing Olympics theme music composer Tan Dun has written the audition(试听) piece.He told the BBC his latest composition was inspired by walking around the streets of New York and hearing the sounds of mechanics.
The Internet is an invisible Silk Road，joining people across the world.“Anyone can download a score of my Internet Symphony No.1 Eroica，pick any part of it and play it with any instrument or object，in any style，”he said.
In addition to Tan Dun's piece，users will also have to perform a famous classical piece of their choices showing their musical and technical abilities.A team of experts will then whittle(减少) the field down to a shortlist of semi-finalists who will then be voted on by YouTube viewers.
The competition hopes to inspire musicians from all over the world.Music means so much to different people，in different countries.“It's not just about the note of music，it's about discovery，”said the music director of the San Francisco Symphony，Michael Tilson Thomas.
With just three months till the competition deadline in February next year，anyone hoping to perform on the world stage and be part of musical history must act quickly.
As New York Carnegie Hall's executive director Clive Gilinson puts it，“This will be a one-of-a-kind moment in classical music，bringing musicians together in a totally new，modern and unique way.”

A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)．
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.
In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
The researchers' report said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears.”
In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but also lead to superior revision in the future.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章揭示了实验研究的结果：用笔记本电脑记笔记的人记忆和应用概念的能力较差，而用手记笔记的人在考试中的表现更好。
28．More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can ________.
A．write more notes
B．digest concepts better
C．get higher scores
D．understand lectures better
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句的内容可知，学生越来越喜欢用笔记本电脑来记笔记，这是因为速度快且清晰。该句中的speed与答案A中的write more notes表意一致，这一点在第五段第一句也可以得到印证。
29．While taking notes，laptop users tend to be ________.
A．skillful B．mindless
C．thoughtful D．tireless
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，研究人员做实验的目的是弄清楚用电脑记笔记是否更容易让学生不动脑思考。后文说明这种假设已经被证实了。由此可判断用电脑记笔记的人在操作过程中往往会不动脑思考，故选mindless。
30．The author of the passage aims to ________.
A．examine the importance of long-term memory
B．stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
C．explain the process of taking notes
D．promote the use of laptops
解析：选B 写作意图题。文章通过两次实验尤其是第二次实验证明了动手做笔记对长期记忆的益处，由此可知作者是提倡用手而不是用笔记本电脑来记笔记。故作者写此文的目的是强调用手做笔记的益处。
31．The passage is likely to appear in ________.
A．a newspaper advertisement
B．a computer textbook
C．a science magazine
D．a finance report
解析：选C 推理判断题。本文通过实验来证明动手做笔记的益处，这属于科普类文章，故本文最有可能出现在科学类的杂志上。
D
In the dead of winter，we don't typically think about spending time outdoors，but according to many physicians we should.The sun is our greatest source of a vitamin that is essential for good health—Vitamin D.
This important vitamin strengthens bones and teeth and is linked to the prevention of heart disease，cancer and many other life-threatening diseases.The recommended daily requirement is 400-600 International Units (IU). In summer, people with dark brown eyes and darker skin turn sunlight from just 15 minutes outside without sunscreen into adequate amounts of Vitamin D.
Even during winter, just a 10-minute walk at midday can keep the body's Vitamin D at healthy levels.During brief winter walks，we receive the greatest benefits when we wear no sunscreen and expose as much skin to the sun as possible.
Vitamin D can be also obtained from foods.Salmon (三文鱼) is one of the best sources of the Vitamin.Egg yolks (蛋黄)，cheese，mushrooms and some animal organs contain smaller quantities of it.
To attract consumers，food companies add Vitamin D to some of their milk products.The practice of putting the Vitamin into milk began in the 1930s.At that time，many children were suffering from rickets，an illness that is caused by a deficiency (缺乏)of Vitamin D．It made the children's bones soft and weak.Adding Vitamin D to milk helped to solve the problem, and it has been available ever since.
For people who still need more Vitamin D, there is another option：Take Vitamin D supplements (补充物)．These products are widely sold in stores.However，anyone considering taking supplements should consult a physician first.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇科普文，主要介绍了维生素D的一些情况。
32．During the winter months，people________.
A．aren't able to meet their deadlines
B．often don't dress warmly enough
C．generally like to remain indoors
D．leave lots of work for others to do
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the dead of winter，we don't typically think about spending time outdoors，but according to many physicians we should.”可知，在冬天人们愿意待在室内。
33．According to the text，Vitamin D________.
A．can be obtained by being exposed to the sun

【解题导语】 本文是一篇应用文，主要针对去英国和爱尔兰旅游要做的准备提出了一些宝贵建议。
61．解析：考查介词。apply to为固定搭配，意为“适用于”。此处意思是说根本没有什么适合于所有人的“必须去看的事物”。
答案：to
62．解析：考查代词。所填词修饰own，因此可知应该填their，their own“他们自己的”。
答案：their
63．解析：考查副词。It is up to sb. to do sth.固定句型表示“由某人决定做某事”。
答案：up
64．解析：考查非谓语动词。所填词位于介词into后作其宾语，因此应该用动名词形式。
答案：researching
65．解析：考查形容词。空格后面的名词information应该用形容词来修饰。valuable“有价值的”。
答案：valuable
66．解析：考查宾语从句引导词。you are going作about的宾语从句，从句中缺少地点状语，所以填where。
答案：where
67．解析：考查名词。空前面出现数词two，因此此处必须用复数形式，所以填halves。
答案：halves
68．解析：考查非谓语动词。would like后接动词不定式，would like to do sth.表示“愿意做某事”，因此填to visit。
答案：to visit
69．解析：考查被动语态。句子主语transport与所给词discuss之间是动宾关系，所以应该用被动语态，谓语部分有情态动词can，因此填be discussed。
答案：be discussed
70．解析：考查非谓语动词。所填词作定语修饰名词travel agents，pay与travel agents为动宾关系，意思是“我们不是那种由客户支付费用的旅游代理”，此处需要用过去分词作定语，因此填paid。
答案：paid

One possible version：
I like music and I think most people like it as much as I do. Personally, I like listening to classical music most. For some people, they find classical music boring to listen to. However, I think classical music is beautiful and can make me inspired. Every time I feel upset or anxious, classical music helps me calm down. Besides, it makes my life more colorful and gives me a lot of entertainment. Most of all, it makes me refreshed and relaxed.
In a word, music plays an important part in my life. If there were no music in the world, it would really be boring and dull!
