24、

A man sat at an underground station in Washington, D.C., and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played six Bach（巴赫）pieces for about 45 minutes. It was rush hour and thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.

During the musician’s performance, only six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded（鼓掌）. No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.

This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post（《华盛顿邮报》）as part of a social experiment. One of the conclusions from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we missing?

【1】The story took place on __________.

A. a cold morning   B. a winter evening   C. a freezing weekend   D. a January afternoon

【2】The first dollar tip for the musician was from __________.

A. a middle-aged man   B. a young man

C. a young woman   D. a small girl

【3】The performance in the underground station lasted for about __________.

A. an hour   B. 45 minutes   C. 20 minutes   D. 6 minutes

【4】When the musician was playing the violin, 26 people __________.

A. gave him cheers   B. introduced themselves to him

C. recognized him   D. gave response to his performance

【5】The people going past Joshua Bell __________.

A. showed interest in his violin   B. seemed in their hurry

C. were on their way home   D. acted rudely to him

【6】The purpose of this experiment was to __________.

A. observe what people usually did in the underground

B. let us know more about the importance of saving time

C. do a survey on how many people were fond of music

D. make us pay more attention to nice things around

25、Tons of people enjoy listening to different types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Many believe that music helps get the creative juices flowing, but an international new study is challenging that view by putting volunteers through a series of tests.

The study was performed as a joint partnership between psychologists at three universities in Europe. The results suggest that any task that relies on verbal(与文字有关的) creativity was impaired(削弱) when listening to any type of music.

Subjects(受试者) in the project all spoke English as their first language, and had no problem in their sight or hearing.

The tasks were simple word games. For example, subjects were given three words, such as dress, shine, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word which could be connected with all three to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc).

Subjects completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while they were played background music with foreign lyrics(歌词), English lyrics, and instrumental music with no lyrics at all.

The research team also tested the library background noises, but found that such noises had no great difference in subjects’ creativity. The study’s authors believe that was the case because library noise is a “steady state” environment which is not as disruptive(扰乱的). Music with or without lyrics is characterized by changes in pitch or tone.

It’s worth mentioning that even familiar music with well known lyrics impaired subjects’ creativity, even when subjects declared that they worked or studied with music on regularly and the music improved their overall mood.

So next time you sit down for a study session with those lo-fi beats, you may be giving your brain something else to focus on rather than your work.

【1】What does “that view” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Listening to music while working is so common.

B．People enjoy listening to different types of music.

C．Listening to music impairs creativity.

D．Music helps improve our creativity.

【2】According to the word game in Paragraph 4, if volunteers are given three words “foot, base, basket”, what is the single word?

A．Case.

B．Line.

C．Print.

D．Ball.

【3】Which of the following had no great difference in performance of the verbal tasks?

A．Familiar music with well known lyrics.

B．The quiet and library noise conditions.

C．Background music with foreign lyrics.

D．Instrumental music with no lyrics.

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A．Music cannot disrupt the verbal working memory of the disabled.

B．Different kinds of music impair different parts of our brains.

C．You may do your best work without listening to music.

D．Library noises are characterized by changes in pitch or tone.

26、   Different countries have different customs in giving presents. In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the pronunciation of the word for “clock” in Chinese is similar to the pronunciation of “death”. Also, don’t wrap (用……包裹) a present in white, black, or blue paper, because they are the colors for funerals (葬礼). Don’t give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship.

In Russia if you give flowers as presents, you have to give an odd number of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.

In Germany if you are invited to dinner, flowers are good presents to take to your dinner hostess (女主人), but don’t take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don’t take thirteen of anything because it’s an unlucky number. Don’t take an even number of anything, either. Don’t wrap your presents in white, brown, or black paper.
