The study,conducted at London Metropolitan University,also revealed the type of songs that cause motorists to drive dangerously.Unsurprisingly,music that is noisy increases a driver"s heart rate,which can be deadly.Fast beats cause excitement that can lead people to concentrate more on the music than on the road and to speed up to match the beat of the song.Styles of music were also measured during the experiment and revealed differences between male and female drivers.Hiphop made a female driver drive far more aggressively,speeding up faster than male driver.The heavy metal music caused the fastest driving among males in the group while the dance music had the same effect among women.The male and female drivers who listened to the classical music drove the most irregularly.
The experiment involved eight people driving 500 miles each using the confused.com MotorMate app,which monitored driving behaviors through GPS technology.
小题1:What"s the main idea of the whole passage?
A.Songs that drivers prefer to listen to on their way. |
B.A study made by the confused.com MotorMate app. |
C.What kind of songs the drivers should choose to listen to during driving. |
D.Female drivers and male drives have different responses to the same music. |
A.controlled | B.banned | C.modeled | D.showed |
A.Tiny Dancer by Elton John appeared in the top 10. |
B.Usually human hearts beat at around 60 to 80 beats per minute. |
C.The classical music makes most drivers drive comfortably and safely. |
D.The passage reveals appropriate music and improper music for drivers. |
A.female and male drivers" popular tastes of music |
B.how did the study carry out |
C.why fast beat music is harmful to drivers |
D.some music with optimum tempo for driver to enjoy |
答案
小题1:C
小题2:A
小题3:C
小题4:D
解析
小题1:C 主旨归纳题。文章第一段的第一句话是文章的中心句。【注】一般而言,新闻、调查报告都是在文章的开头就交待文章的主题。
小题2:A 词义猜测题。根据划线词所处的语境可知:该实验是由8名分别行驶500英里的司机来实施的,因为是做实验,所以运用GPS技术是为了掌控司机的驾驶行为。
小题3:C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句话“The male and female drivers who listened to the classical music drove the most irregularly.”可知:听古典音乐时,男女驾驶者的驾车状态最不稳定。
小题4:D 推理判断题。文章最后一段涉及到的就是B项;第二段中涉及到了C,因此B、C不会再次被提及。文章第二段中也谈到了男女司机对不同音乐的反应,再次谈他们对不同音乐的品味的可能性不大。文章第一段涉及到了10首对司机来讲适宜选择的部分音乐,因此文章会在最后一段给出第一段没列出的10首音乐的剩余部分。

Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment,but with three spots shown before two,shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes.Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb,a key,an orange and so on),changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves.Could it be the pattern that two things make,as opposed to three? No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three,or three to two.The effect even crosses between senses.Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two;likewise (同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.
小题1:The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s________.
A.sense of hearing | B.sense of sight |
C.sense of touch | D.sense of smell |
A.the size of cards | B.the colour of pictures |
C.the shape of patterns | D.the number of objects |
A.To reduce the difficulty of the experiment. |
B.To see how babies recognize sounds. |
C.To carry their experiment further. |
D.To keep the babies’ interest. |
A.Science fiction. |
B.Children’s literature. |
C.An advertisement. |
D.A science report. |
During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological(心理的)thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby.The Harlows,a couple who are both psychologists,discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mothersubstitutes—one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire.If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature,the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother.However,if the wire model was heated,while the cloth model was cool,for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mothersubstitutes as their favorites.Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire?Something that the Harlows called contact(接触)comfort seems to be the answer,and a most powerful influence it is.Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers’ skins,putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can.Whenever the young animal is frightened,disturbed,or annoyed,it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body.Wire doesn’t “rub” as well as does soft cloth.Prolonged(长时间的)“contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.
According to the Harlows,the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust.If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother,the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be.It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball.If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom,the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life.After a few minutes of contact comfort,it obviously begins to feel more secure.It then climbs down from the mothersubstitute and begins to explore the toys,but often rushes back for a deep embrace(拥抱)as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well.Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its “mother”.

C.introduce the method of the experiment |
D.describe the process of the experiment |
“ I’d use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a.m.and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open,”said Walter Choo,40,of Fort Greene.
The smartphonelike glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600,the Times said,possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality,a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one’s surroundings.So,for example,if you were walking down a street,indicators would pop_up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
“As far as a mainstream consumer product,this just isn’t something anybody needs,”said Sam Biddle,who writes for Gizmodo.com.“ We’re accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,”he added,“and the average consumer isn’t gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that’s hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub,who has been reporting on the smartphonelike glasses since late last year,said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
“It’s just like smartphones 10 years ago,”Weintraub said.“A few people started getting emails on their phones,and people thought that was crazy.Same kind of thing.We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones,and it’s unnatural,”he said.“ There’s gonna be improvements to that,and this a step there.”
小题1:One of the possible functions of the smartphonelike glasses is to ________.
A.program the opening hours of a bar |
B.supply you with a picture of the future |
C.provide information about your surroundings |
D.update the maps and GPS in your smartphones |
A.develop rapidly |
B.get round quickly |
C.appear immediately |
D.go over automatically |
A.necessary for teenagers |
B.attractive to New Yorkers |
C.available to people worldwide |
D.expensive for average consumers |
A.may have a potential market |
B.are as common as smartphones |
C.are popular among young adults |
D.will be improved by a new technology |
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺).Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall,but in any case,good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference,too.In the United States,a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live,but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number.
You can take steps to save water in your home.To start with,use the same glass for your drinking water all day.Wash it only once a day.Run your dishwasher (洗碗机)only when it is full.Help your parents fix any leaks in your home.You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.
小题1:Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?
A.Using river water. |
B.Throwing batteries away. |
C.Paving parking lots. |
D.Throwing rubbish into lakes. |
A.All water shortages are due to human behavior. |
B.It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs. |
C.There is much we can do to reduce family size. |
D.The average family in America makes proper use of water. |
A.show us how to fix leaks at home |
B.tell us how to run a dishwasher |
C.prove what drinking glass is best for us |
D.suggest what we do to save water at home |
A.Why paving roads reduces our water |
B.how much we depend on water to live |
C.why droughts occur more in dry climates |
D.how human activity affects our water supply |
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea,that’s because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi’s and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored (味道) chocolates.
The CRF’s produce is “green ”,made within the country and divided into 10 lines,with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series-with Sichuan pepper,red bean (豆),cheese and other flavors-also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocolate_snobs,who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others,the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo,Cuba,Venezuela,and Ghana,among others.
小题1:What is good about chocolate?
A.It serves as a suitable gift. |
B.It works as an effective medicine. |
