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. Both involve different senses. 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. ____ She says using music to improve listening skills could mean they hear sentences ａｎｄ　understａｎｄ　facial expressions better. 【单选题】

2、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. ____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. But the motｏｒindustry opposes taxes on persons owning cars preferring taxes on use.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】

A.The campaign will highlight the motｏｒindustry\'s efforts to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.

B.But the motｏｒindustry opposes taxes on persons owning cars preferring taxes on use.

C.The five-year campaign could cost up to ￡14 million.

正确答案:F

答案解析:前句进行了总说，而后句为另一话题，前后之间没有直接关联，所以可以判断此处可以为前句的举例说明。

3、PopulationThe advantages ａｎｄ　disadvantages of large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good lａｎｄ　is limited . To feed a large population, inferiｏｒlａｎｄ　must be cultivated ａｎｄ　the good lａｎｄ　worked intensively. produces less ａｎｄ　this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population . Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope fｏｒspecialization ａｎｄ　the development of facilities such as ports, roads ａｎｄ　railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demａｎｄ　to justify themOne of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development ａｎｄ　the availability of food ａｎｄ　raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space ａｎｄ　natural resources, ____. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment it results in a declining market fｏｒmanufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline ａｎｄ　the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable ｏｒin decline.【单选题】

A.which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demａｎｄ　to justify them

B.It has been argued that the supply of good lａｎｄ　is limited

C.it will be the first concern of government to plane a ｌｉｍｉｔon the birth rate, whatever the consequences may be

D.Thus, each person produces less ａｎｄ　this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population

E.A small population may mean lower productivity, but a higher average income

F.because it results in a declining market fｏｒmanufactured goods

正确答案:C

答案解析:需要选择的是这个句子中的主干，前面说在这个发展中国家里，极度膨胀的人口给食品、空间和自然资源都造成了很大的压力，因此顺理成章地控制人口就成为这样的国家的政府关注的头等大事。

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. “If mobile phones are found to be dangerous, they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised,” he said.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 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 11 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:A

答案解析:前一句说的是Robert Bell建议政府应该禁止在学校操场、儿童日托中心、医院、运动场所以及儿童占比例较高的居住场所方圆500米范围内建发射塔。选项A说明要这样做的原因，因而是正确答案。
