1、Musical Training Can Improve Communication Skills American scientists say musical training seems to improve communication skills ａｎｄ　language retardation. They found that developing musical skills involves the same process in the brain as learning how to speak. The scientists believe that could help children with learning disabilities. Nina Kraus is a neurobiologist at Northwestern University in Illinois. She says musical training involves putting together different kinds of information, such as hearing music, looking at musical notes, touching an instrument ａｎｄ　watching other musicians. This process is not much different from learning how to speak. ____. She further explains musical training ａｎｄ　learning to speak each make us think about what we are doing. She says speech ａｎｄ　music pass through a structure of the nervous system called the brain stem. The brain stem controls our ability to hear. Until recently, experts have thought the brain stem could not be developed ｏｒchanged. But ProfessｏｒKranss ａｎｄ　her team found that musical training can improve a person\'s brain stem activity. The study involved individuals with different levels of musical ability. They were asked to wear an electrical device that measures brain activity. The individuals wore the electrode while they watched a video of someone speaking ａｎｄ　a person playing a musical instrument --－－the cello. ProfessｏｒKrauss says cellos have sound qualities similar to some of the sounds that are important with speech. The study found that the more years of training people had, the more sensitive they were to the sound ａｎｄ　rhythm of the music. Those who were involved in musical activities were the same people in whom the improvement of sensory events was the strongest. It shows the importance of musical training to children with learning disabilities. She says using music to improve listening skills could mean they hear sentences ａｎｄ　understａｎｄ　facial expressions better. 【单选题】

A.Both involve different senses.

B.Nina Kraus is a neurobiologist at Northwestern University in Illinois.

C.Some disabled children attended the musical training Class.

D.It shows the importance of musical training to children with learning disabilities.

E.ProfessｏｒKrauss says cellos have sound qualities similar to some of the sounds that are important with speech.

F.The brain stem controls our ability to hear.

正确答案:A

答案解析:本段的第二、三句说，音乐训练和学习这两件事没有什么：很大的不同。选项A的Both involve different senses解释了为什么这么说，因为两者都涉及不同的感官，也就是上文所列举的hearing music（耳听），looking at musical notes／watching other musicians（眼看），touching an instrument（手触）等。

2、Reduce PackagingPressure increased recently on British supermarkets ａｎｄ　retailers to reduce packaging as part of an anti - waste campaign. The campaign was initiated by The Independent newspaper.

3、Cars Are Good fｏｒthe Environment，HonestBritain\'s motｏｒindustry is planning a majｏｒpublicity campaign to counter what it sees as an official anti-car bias ａｎｄ　to improve the environmental image of the cars, according to documents leaked to the pressure group, Friends of the Earth (FOE). The five-year campaign could cost up to ￡12 million.The internal document which was produced last month by the Society of MotｏｒManufacturers ａｎｄ　Traders, says that the "ultimate objective of the campaign must be to protect the long-term commercial freedom of the motｏｒindustry ａｎｄ　the lifestyle freedom of car users". The campaign will highlight the motｏｒindustry\'s efforts to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. European car manufacturers have already agreed with the European Com mission to reduce CO2 emissions from new cars by 25 percent to target of 140 grams per kilometer by 2008. However, the document also reveals that the industry is someway from meeting the target. Fｏｒexample, last year\'s new cars exceed an average of 192 grams per kilometre—some 37 percent above the target.To help control these emissions, the government has proposed replacing the flat rate annual tax on cars with a tax related to engine size so that owners of large gas-guzzler would pay more than owners of small cars. ____Richard Barnet, the society\'s media manager, says: "We will work with the government to practice a practical system. " But Ian Willmore of FOE says the industry “may pose as partners of the government, but its real intention is to frustrate serious attempts to reduce traffic levels”.【单选题】

F.Fｏｒexample, last year\'s new cars exceed an average of 192 grams per kilometre—some 40 percent above the target.

正确答案:B

答案解析:通过阅读可知本段主要讲述tax，所以从内容上看只有B选项符合。

4、The Process of AgeingAt the age of twelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet to reach its full size ａｎｄ　strength, ａｎｄ　its owner his ｏｒher full intelligence; but at this age the likelihood of death is the least. Earlier, we were infants ａｎｄ　young children, ａｎｄ　consequently more vulnerable; later, we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigｏｒresistance which, though imperceptible (察觉不出的) at first, will finally become so steep that we can live no longer, however well we look after ourselves, ａｎｄ　however well society, ａｎｄ　our doctors, look after us This decline in vigｏｒwith the passing of time is called ageing. If we escape wars, accidents ａｎｄ　diseases, we shall eventually "die of old age", ａｎｄ　this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person. Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longer. But there is a virtual ｌｉｍｉｔon how long we can hope to remain alive, however lucky ａｎｄ　robust we are.Normal people tend to forget this process until they are reminded of it. We are so familiar with the fact that man ages, that people have fｏｒyears assumed that the process of losing vigｏｒwith time was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle ｏｒthe wearing-out of a pair of shoes. "They have also assumed that all animals, ａｎｄ　probably other organisms such as trees, ｏｒeven the universe itself, must in the nature of things "wear out". Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do; ａｎｄ　mechanical systems like a wound watch, ｏｒthe sun, do in fact run out of energy. But these are not analogous to what happens when man ages. A run-down watch is still a watch ａｎｄ　can be rewound. ａｎｄ　old watch, by contrast, becomes so worn ａｎｄ　unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending. But a watch could never repair itself it does not consist of living parts, only of metal, which wears away by friction (摩擦). We could, at one time tune, repair ourselves well enough, at least to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses ａｎｄ　accidents. Between twelve ａｎｄ　eighty years we gradually lose this power.____. If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years fｏｒhalf of us to die, ａｎｄ　another 700 of the survivors to be reduced by half again.【单选题】

A. Some old people are oppressed by the fear of death

B. an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty can knock us out, ａｎｄ　into our grave

C. ａｎｄ　mechanical systems like a wound watch, ｏｒthe sun, do in fact run out of energy

D.This decline in vigｏｒwith the passing of time is called ageing

E.ａｎｄ　old watch, by contrast, becomes so worn ａｎｄ　unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending

F.ａｎｄ　this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person

正确答案:B

答案解析:前一句说，在12～80岁之间的这段时间里我们会逐渐地丧失自我修复的能力。所选句是对前一句话的具体说明，给前面一句提供了生动的注释。值得注意的连贯词是在两句中都出现的twelve和eighty。

5、Mobile PhonesMobile phones should carry a label if they proved to be a dangerous source of radiation, according to Robert Bell, a scientist. ａｎｄ　no more mobile phone transmitter towers should be build until the long-term health effects of the electromagnetic radiation they emit is scientifically evaluated, he said. "Nobody\'s going to ｄｒｅｐdead overnight but we should be asking fｏｒmore scientific information," Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low-level radiation.____A report widely circulated among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill effects on humans from electromagnetic radiation. According to Robert Bell, there are 3.3 million mobile phones in Australia alone ａｎｄ　they are increasing by 2,000 a day. By the year 2000 it is estimated that Australia will have 8 million mobile phones: nearly one fｏｒevery two people.As well, there are 2,000 transmitter towers around Australia, many in high density residential areas. Fｏｒexample, Telstra, Optus ａｎｄ　Videophone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to them ａｎｄ　disregard the need of the community. The electromagnetic radiation emitted from these towers may have already produced some harmful effects on the health of the residents nearby.Robert Bell suggests that until more research is completed the Government should ban construction of phone towers from within a 500 metre radius of school grounds, child care centres, hospitals, sports playing fields ａｎｄ　residential areas with a high percentage of children. He says there is emerging evidence that children absorb low-level radiation at a rate more than three times that of adults. He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates.Then who finances the research? According to Robert Bell, it is reasonable fｏｒthe majｏｒtelephone companies to fund it. Besides, he also urges the Government to ｓｅｔup a wide ranging inquiry in to possible health effects.【单选题】

A.He says there is emerging evidence that children absorb low-level radiation at a rate more than three times that of adults.

B.By the year 2000 it is estimated that Australia will have 8 million mobile phones: nearly one fｏｒevery two people.

C.“If mobile phones are found to be dangerous, they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised,”he said.

D.Then who finances the research?

E.Fｏｒexample, Telstra, Optus ａｎｄ　Videophone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to them ａｎｄ　disregard the need of the community.

F.The conclusion is that mobile phones bring more harm than benefit.

正确答案:C

答案解析:空格处应该填入与low-level radiation有关的内容，例如low-level radiation究竟有害还是无害。所以，C是合适的选项。
