B
Their
cheery
song
brightens
many
a
winter's
day.
But
robins
are
in
danger
of
wearing
themselves
out
by
singing
too
much.
Robins
are
singing
all
night―as
well
as
during
the
day,
British-based
researchers
say.
David
Dominoni,
of
Glasgow
University,
said
that
light
from
street
lamps,
takeaway
signs
and
homes
is
affecting
the
birds'
biological
clocks,
leading
to
them
being
wide
awake
when
they
should
be
asleep.
Dr
Dominon,
who
is
putting
cameras
inside
nesting
boxes
to
track
sleeping
patterns，said
lack
of
sleep
could
put
the
birds’
health
at
risk.
His
study
shows
that
when
robins
are
exposed
to
light
at
night
in
the
lab，it
leads
to
some
genes
being
active
at
the
wrong
time
of
day.
And
the
more
birds
are
exposed
to
light,
the
more
active
they
are
at
night.
He
told
people
at
a
conference,
"There
have
been
a
couple
of
studies
suggesting
they
are
increasing
their
song
output
at
night
and
during
the
day
they
are
still
singing.
Singing
is
a
costly
behavior
and
it
takes
energy.
So
by
increasing
their
song
output,
there
might
be
some
costs
of
energy."
And
it
is
not
just
robins
that
are
being
kept
awake
by
artificial
light.
Blackbirds
and
seagulls
are
also
being
more
nocturnal.
Dr
Dominoni
said,
"In
Glasgow
where
I
live,
gulls
are
a
serious
problem.
I
have
people
coming
to
me
saying
'You
are
the
bird
expert.
Can
you
help
us
kill
these
gulls?’.
During
the
breeding
(
繁殖)season,
between
April
and
June,
they
are
very
active
at
night
and
very
noisy
and
people
can’t
sleep."
Although
Dr
Dominoni
has
only
studied
light
pollution,
other
research
concluded
that
robins
living
in
noisy
cities
have
started
to
sing
at
night
to
make
themselves
heard
over
loud
noise.
However,
some
birds
thrive(
兴
旺
)
in
noisy
environments.
A
study
from
California
Polytechnic
State
University
found
more
hummingbirds
in
areas
with
heavy
industrial
machinery.
It
is
thought
that
they
are
capitalising
on
their
predators
(天敌)
fleeting
to
quieter
areas.
According
to
Dr
Dominoni's
study,
what
causes
robins
to
sing
so
much?
The
breeding
season.
B.
The
light
in
modern
life.
C.
The
dangerous
environment.
D.
The
noise
from
heavy
machinery.
What
is
the
researchers'
concern
over
the
increase
of
birds'
song
output?
The
environment
might
be
polluted.
B.
The
birds'
health
might
be
damaged.
C.
The
industry
cost
might
be
increased.
D.
The
people's
hearing
might
be
affected.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“nocturnal"
in
Paragraph
5mean?
Active
at
night.
B.
Inactive
at
night.
C.
Active
during
the
day.
D.
Inactive
during
the
day.
Why
do
some
birds
thrive
in
noisy
environments?
Because
there
are
fewer
dangers.
B.
Because
there
is
more
food
to
eat.
C.
Because
there
is
less
light
pollution
D.
Because
there
are
more
places
to
take
shelter.

Multiple
studies
link
music
study
to
academic
achievement.
But
what
is
it
about
serious
music
training
that
seems
to
correlate
with
outsize
success
in
other
fields?
I
put
the
question
to
top-flight
professionals
in
industries
from
tech
to
finance
to
media,
all
of
whom
had
serious
past
lives
as
musicians.
The
phenomenon
extends
beyond
the
math-music
association.
Strikingly,
many
high
achievers
told
me
music
opened
up
the
pathways
to
creative
thinking.
And
their
experiences
suggest
that
music
training
sharpens
other
qualities:
Collection.
The
ability
to
listen.
A
way
of
thinking
that
weaves
together
disparate
ideas.
The
power
to
focus
on
the
present
and
the
future
simultaneously.
For
many
of
the
high
achievers
I
spoke
with,
music
functions
as
a
“hidden
language,”
as
Mr.
Wolfensohn
calls
it,
one
that
enhances
the
ability
to
connect
disparate
or
even
contradictory
ideas.
When
he
ran
the
World
Bank,
Mr.
Wolfensohn
traveled
to
more
than
100
countries,
often
taking
in
local
performances,
which
helped
him
understand
“the
culture
of
people,
as
distinct
from
their
balance
sheet.”
It
is
in
that
context
that
the
connection
between
math
and
music
grabs
the
most
attention.
Both
are
at
heart
modes
of
expression.
Bruce
Kovner,
the
founder
of
the
hedge
fund
(对冲基金)
Caxton
Associates，says
he
sees
similarities
between
his
piano
playing
and
investing
strategy;
as
he
says,
both
“relate
to
pattern
recognition,
and
some
people
extend
these
patterns
across
different
senses.”
For
Roger
McNamee,
whose
Elevation
Partners
is
perhaps
best
known
for
its
early
investment
in
Facebook,
“music
and
technology
have
converged,”
he
says.
He
became
expert
on
Facebook
by
using
it
to
promote
his
band,
Moonalice,
and
now
is
focusing
on
video
by
live-streaming
its
concerts.
He
says
musicians
and
top
professionals
share
“the
almost
desperate
need
to
dive
deep.”
This
capacity
to
obsess
seems
to
unite
top
performers
in
music
and
other
fields.
“I’ve
always
believed
the
reason
I’ve
gotten
ahead
is
by
outworking
other
people,”
he
says.
It’s
a
skill
learned
by
“playing
that
solo
one
more
time,
working
on
that
one
little
section
one
more
time,”
and
it
translates
into
“working
on
something
over
and
over
again,
or
double-checking
or
triple-checking.”
He
adds,
“There’s
nothing
like
music
to
teach
you
that
eventually
if
you
work
hard
enough,
it
does
get
better.
You
see
the
results.”
That’s
an
observation
worth
remembering
at
a
time
when
music
as
a
serious
pursuit
in
decline
in
this
country.

Proudly
reading
my
words,
I
glanced
around
the
room,
only
to
find
my
classmates
bearing
big
smiles
on
their
faces
and
tears
in
their
eyes.
Confused,
I
glanced
toward
my
stone-faced
teacher.
Having
no
choice,
I
slowly
raised
the
report
I
had
slaved
over,
hoping
to
hide
myself.
“What
could
be
causing
everyone
to
act
this
way?”
Quickly,
I
flashed
back
to
the
day
Miss
Lancelot
gave
me
the
task.
This
was
the
first
real
task
I
received
in
my
new
school.
It
seemed
simple:
go
on
the
Internet
and
find
information
about
a
man
named
George
Washington.
Since
my
idea
of
history
came
from
an
ancient
teacher
in
my
home
country,
I
had
never
heard
of
that
name
before.
As
I
searched
the
name
of
this
fellow,
it
became
evident
that
there
were
two
people
bearing
the
same
name
who
looked
completely
different!
One
invented
hundreds
of
uses
for
peanuts,
while
the
other
led
some
sort
of
army
across
America.
I
stared
at
the
screen,
wondering
which
one
my
teacher
meant.
I
called
my
grandfather
for
a
golden
piece
of
advice:
flip
a
coin.
Heads—the
commander,
and
tails—the
peanuts
guy.
Ah!
Tails,
my
report
would
be
about
the
great
man
who
invented
peanut
butter,
George
Washington
Carver.
Weeks
later,
standing
before
this
unfriendly
mass,
I
was
totally
lost.
Oh
well,
I
lowered
the
paper
and
sat
down
at
my
desk,
burning
to
find
out
what
I
had
done
wrong.
As
a
classmate
began
his
report,
it
all
became
clear,
“My
report
is
on
George
Washington,
the
man
who
started
the
American
Revolution.”
The
whole
world
became
quiet!
How
could
I
know
that
she
meant
that
George
Washington?
Obviously,
my
grade
was
awful.
Heartbroken
but
fearless,
I
decided
to
turn
this
around.
I
talked
to
Miss
Lancelot,
but
she
insisted:
No
re-dos;
no
new
grade.
I
felt
that
the
punishment
was
not
justified,
and
I
believed
I
deserved
a
second
chance.
Consequently,
I
threw
myself
heartily
into
my
work
for
the
rest
of
the
school
year.
Ten
months
later,
that
chance
unfolded
as
I
found
myself
sitting
in
the
headmaster’s
office
with
my
grandfather,
now
having
an
entirely
different
conversation.
I
smiled
and
flashed
back
to
the
embarrassing
moment
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
as
the
headmaster
informed
me
of
my
option
to
skip
the
sixth
grade.
Justice
is
sweet!
What
did
the
author's
classmates
think
about
his
report?
Original
and
interesting.
B.
Funny
and
ridiculous.
C.
Original
but
boring.
D.
Funny
but
puzzling.
What
caused
the
author's
failure
to
finish
the
task?
He
followed
his
grandfather's
advice
and
Nipped
a
coin.
He
was
unfamiliar
with
American
history.
He
forgot
his
teacher's
instruction.
He
didn’t
know
why
the
leacher
gave
such
a
task.
The
underlined
word
"burning"
in
Para.
3
probably
means
annoyed
B.
ashamed
C.
ready
D.
eager
In
the
end,
the
author
turned
things
around
through
his
months'
effort
by
redoing
his
task
by
finding
a
chance
to
talk
to
the
headmaster

The
Slow
Food
Movement
started
in
Rome,
Italy
in
1986.
When
a
new
McDonalds
was
opening
near
a
beautiful
historic
place,
some
people
stood
outside
the
restaurant
and
shouted,
“We
do
not
want
fast
food,
we
want
slow
food!”
36
One
day
Carlo
Petrini
went
to
a
restaurant
to
eat
a
traditional
meal.
But
the
food
didn’t
taste
the
same
as
he
remembered.
He
learned
that
the
peppers
were
shipped
from
abroad
because
the
prices
were
low.
This
deeply
concerned
Carlo.
Carlo
wanted
people
to
care
about
where
their
foods
came
from
and
how
their
foods
made
their
culture
special.
So
he
started
a
group
to
encourage
this
idea.
It
soon
became
the
Slow
Food
Movement.
37
First,
what
is
good
food?
Good
food
is
fresh.
The
vegetables
are
eaten
close
to
the
place
where
they
are
grown.
The
fish
hasn’t
been
sitting
for
days
before
it
is
eaten.
Good
food
is
seasonable.
38
Good
food
satisfies
the
senses.
It
should
look
good,
smell
good
and
taste
good.
And
finally,
good
food
is
cultural
food.
Each
country
has
special
foods
that
make
it
different.
Second,
food
should
be
clean.
Today,
there
are
great
concerns
about
the
way
people
grow
and
produce
food.
Farmers
use
chemicals
to
kill
insects
and
feed
plants.
But
the
chemicals
can
also
harm
the
natural
environment
around
farms.
39
Clean
food
means
food
that
does
not
harm
our
bodies
or
the
environment.
And
third,
food
should
be
fair.
40
All
people
should
be
able
to
purchase
healthy
food.
The
people
who
grow
and
make
food
should
be
paid
fairly
for
their
work.
They
should
work
in
safe,
healthy
conditions.
Food
should
not
cost
too
much
money.
Its
goal
is
to
have
good,
clean,
fair
food
for
all
people.
Over
time,
they
can
cause
health
problems
in
people
too.
That
was
how
the
Slow
Food
Movement
came
into
being.
It
should
be
grown
at
the
best
time
of
the
year
for
that
food.
Today
the
Slow
Food
Movement
has
already
expanded
out
of
Italy.
This
event
wasn’t
the
only
thing
that
started
the
Slow
Food
Movement.

Since
finishing
my
studies
at
Harvard
and
Oxford,
I've
watched
one
friend
after
another
land
high-ranking,
high-paying
Wall
Street
jobs.
As
executives
（高级管理人员）
with
banks,
consulting
firms,
established
law
firms,
and
major
corporations,
many
are
now
1
on
their
way
to
impressive
careers.
By
society's
2
，they
seem
to
have
it
made.
On
the
surface,
these
people
seem
to
be
very
lucky
in
life.
As
they
left
student
life
behind,
many
had
a
3
drink
at
their
cheap
but
friendly
local
bar,
shook
hands
with
longtime
roommates,
and
4
out
of
small
apartments
into
high
buildings.
They
made
reservations
at
restaurants
where
the
cost

a
bottle
of
wine

a
college
year's
monthly
rent.
They
replaced
their
beloved
old
cars
with
expensive
new
sports
cars.
The
thing
is,
a
number
of
them
have
6
that
despite
their
success,
they
aren't
happy.
Some
7
of
unfriendly
coworkers
and
feel
sad

eight-hour
workweeks

tasks
they
8
.
Some
do
not
respect
the
companies
they
work
for
and
talk
of
feeling
tired
and
9
.
However,
instead
of
devoting
themselves
to
their
work,
they
find
themselves
working
to
support
the
10
to
which
they
have
so
quickly
become
11
.
People
often
speak
of
trying
a
more
satisfying
path,
and
12
in
the
end
the
idea
of
leaving
their
jobs
to
work
for
something
they
13
or
finding
a
position
that
would
give
them
more
time
with

almost
always
leads
them
to
the

conclusion:
it's

.
They
have

,retirement
to
save
for.
They
recognize
there's
something
16
in

but
it's
17
to
step
off

，B
选项有；“Ensure
security
and
confidentiality
of
guest
and
hotel
information”，D

“This
position
has
a
combination
of
duties
mainly
related，but
not
limited
to

hotel
guests.”
“not
limited
to”表示不仅限于，也就表示包含“including”，所以
C
正确。
【B

them
being
wide
awake
可知选择
B。
25.B
细节理解题。根据文章
Singing
is
a
costly
behaviour
and
it
takes
energy.
So
by
increasing
their
song
output,
there
might
be
some
costs
of
energy."可知，唱歌唱得越多，就会损耗更多的能量，
故选择
B。
26.A
词义辨析题。根据上文的
And
it
is
not
just
robins
that
are
being
kept
awake
by
artificial
light.
Blackbirds

in
that
context
that
the
connection

grabs
the
most
attention.）。后饮用

C：努力工作使你领先的观念。因为音乐是一种严肃的追求。
【D
篇】
文章介绍了主人公“我”在完成老师交待的任务时，对美国历史不是很熟悉，介绍的华盛顿这个人物不是历史上领导美国革命的华盛顿，而是另外一个人。在课堂上，读自己写的有关人物的报告时，引起了同学的嘲笑，分数也很低，接下来的时间，主人公“我”努力学习，并最终取得了好的成绩。
32.B
推理判断题。根据第一段
Proudly
reading
my
words,
I
glanced
around
the
room,
only
to
find
my
classmates
bearing
big
smiles
on
their
faces
and
tears
in
their
eyes.
Confused,
I
glanced
toward
my
stone-faced
teacher.可知，由同学们的笑和老师的表情可知
"我"
的文章是荒唐可笑的。故答案为
B。
33.B
细节理解题。由第二自然段
I
had
never
heard
of
that
name
before.
As
I
searched
the
name
of
this
fellow,
it
became
evident
that
there
were
two
people
bearing
the
same
name
who
looked
completely
different!
One
invented
hundreds
of
uses
for
peanuts,
while
the
other
led
some
sort
of
army
across
America.
I
stared
at
the
screen,
wondering
which
one
my
teacher
meant.由此可知，
"
我"
对美国的历史是不了解的。故答案为
B。
34.D
词义猜测题。由本句
I
lowered
the
paper
and
sat
down
at

I
had
done
wrong.答案为
D。

myself
heartily
into
my
work
for
the
rest

二、七选五
36-40
GBECA
：考查上下文逻辑。上一段最后一句"我们不要快餐，我们要慢食！"，讲述慢餐的起因之一；设空段为慢餐的另外一个原因。可知空格处的内容应是表达前面的这个活动并不是开始慢食运动的唯一原因。故答案选：G。

what
is
good
food?
"，"Second,
food
should
be
clean."以及"And
third,
food
should
be
fair."可推知，空格处的内容是这个运动的目标，
B
项中提到的"good,
clean
and
fair
food"呼应下文。故答案选：B。
：考查上下文逻辑。根据空格前一句"Good
food
is
seasonable."好的食物都是应时的。可推知，空格处的内容与种植食物的时间有关。E
项含有段落主旨词
best
time
of
the
year。
：考查上下文逻辑。根据空格前一句"But
the
chemicals
can
also
harm
the
natural
environment
around
farms."可知，农民使用的化学物质会损害农场周围的自然环境，那么空格处的内容应该与这些化学物质带来的危害有关。C
项：随着时间的推移，它们也会导致人类的健康问题。符合题意，且
C
项中的"They"指代前文中提到的"chemicals"。故答案选：C。40：考查上下文逻辑。根据空格前一句"And
third,
food
should
be
fair."及空格后一句"All
people
should
be
able
to
purchase
healthy
food."可推知，空格处的内容与食品的价格有关，要想所有人都能够购买健康食品，那食物不应该定价太高。故答案选：A。
