A
(2016·日照高三检测)Whether it is Mozart or Miley，your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your work.
A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry，proofreading and problemsolving.
In an officebased experiment,88 per cent of participants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music.
The study also found that 81 per cent completed their fastest work when music was played.
And it matters what type of music you listen to.For instance，if you're doing your tax returns，then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills.
Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed，with 58 per cent of participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs.
During proofreading，dance music，such as David Guetta's，had the biggest positive impact on participants increasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests undertaken with no music at all.
Dance music also had a positive effect on spellchecking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 per cent when no music was played at all.
The research，undertaken by Brightonbased Mindlab International，suggests that silent offices may be the least productive.
“The music experiment showed that when listening to music，nine out of ten people performed better，”said Dr David Lewis，chairman of Mindlab International.
“Proper music enables people to quickly process and keep information，regulate their behavior，make good choices，solve problems，plan and adjust to changing mental demands，”a senior investigator of Mindlab International explained.
“While many schools are cutting music programs and spending more and more time on test preparations，our findings suggest that musical training courses may actually help to set up children for a better academic future，”added Dr David Lewis.
1．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The positive relationship between music and work efficiency.
B．The speed and accuracy of problemsolving tasks.
C．The comparison of different kinds of music.

A．different kinds of music lead to the same effect
B．silent offices can make people perform better
C．listening to proper music can improve efficiency in offices
D．more tests prepare children for a better academic future
3.What is the author's attitude towards school music programs?

B
(2016·四川德阳高三二诊)Indeed，many failures are experienced in our lives and the effect could be extremely unpleasant.I do have a share of my experience and you might have yours too.As the saying goes，“Experience is the best teacher.”Many people believe it's the other way around.Experience，in fact，can be the worst teacher since it takes the test first before you learn the lesson.
Often，when people around us try to comfort us telling us that we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves，we say “sure”，yet we are doing otherwise.We are becoming too hard on ourselves because failure is something that wouldn't leave your mind quickly.Failure is some thing that can make you regret spending money，time，and effort but all go down the drain(排水沟)．However，it is common everywhere and it usually leads us to success.
“There were once two prison men sitting behind the bars.One saw mud while the other saw stars.”In this story，those two prison men were paying the costs of their actions.However，as they faced their situation，one prisoner was completely defeated by his depression.But the other prisoner held his head up with his hopes and dreams.As you may well notice，failure happens，but people deal with it quite differently.
However，true failure comes in when you react negatively to the situation.True failure is about giving up completely.It is about being unable to recognize that you look at the midnight skies，the stars are still shining.See，no matter how disheartening and discouraging your fall was，true failure is about not getting up and not moving on.You must accept failure as a great opportunity for you to learn.You will also be able to learn from the failures of other people.But it is your own failure that will help you meaningfully.
4．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A．Experience is really good at teaching.
B．The best teacher usually experiences a lot.
C．Something valuable can be learned from failure.
D．The worst teacher can teach you how to be successful.
5．Which of the following is TRUE about failure according to the text?
A．We can't live without failure.
B．It is easy to get rid of failure.
C．People should try to avoid failure.
D．People should treat failure properly.
6．The writer tells us about people's different attitudes toward failure by________.
A．listing some true facts
B．mentioning a story
C．showing some figures
D．blaming the two prison men
7．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．Everything comes from failure
B．Failure opens the door to learning
C．Success is not easy for us to achieve
D．Experience is interesting and pleasant
答案：
解题导语：本文是一篇议论文，主要就应该如何对待失败和不如意给出了几点建议。
4．C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可推知，我们可以从失败中吸取教训，A、B、D 三项均表述错误。故选C项。
5．D 解析：判断正误题。根据第三段两个犯人对待失败的不同态度和第四段对真正失败的解释可知，我们要正确对待失败，从失败中汲取教训，而不是放弃，这样才能转败为胜，获得成功。故选D项。
6．B 解析：写作手法题。文章第三段通过讲述两个犯人的故事，说明人们对待失败的不同态度。故选B项。
7．B 解析：标题概括题。根据第一段最后一句的开篇点题，并结合对全文的整体理解以及最后一段中的“You must accept failure as a great opportunity for you to learn.”可知，本文主要讲的是我们可以从失败中汲取教训，从而走向成功。故B项最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2015·沈阳市教学质量检测)Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley，offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet.However，due to their high price，they have failed to catch on until now.Recently，Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of button.The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one，and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.
Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity.Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google，where some employees have even installed treadmill(跑步机)and bicycle desks.
The desk is not the first“convertible” on the market.As early as 2017，Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk.The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself，converting it into a standing desk or a traditional desk.The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly，making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the users to change their positions.To move between sitting and standing positions，owners simply double tap on the screen.The desk can learn the user's preferences and suggest the best seating position.
The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of exApple and Disney engineers.It has a builtin touch screen to control and track movement，and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working days.It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones，to keep cables hidden.
“Ikea's heightadjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market，”said JP Labrosse，founder and CEO of Stir Kinect.
1．What is the text mainly about?
A．Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.
B．Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.
C．Google formed its tech firms to design bicycle desks.
D．The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market.
2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．Before Bekant desk，similar adjustable desks have been widely used.
B．The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.
C．Compared to the Stir Kinect desk，the Bekant desk is much cheaper.
D．The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and The Walt Disney Company.
3．The Stir Kinect desk________.
A．can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button once
B．can charge phones by using a device containing a power point
C．can tell you how many calories you need for a walk
D．can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time
4．What can we infer from the last sentence given by JP Labrosse?
A．Ikea's adjustable desks will be popular with average people.
B．Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.
C．This heightadjustable table can only be found in Ikea.
D．It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.
答案：
解题导语：站立式办公桌对人们的健康有益，但是它的价格高昂。最近，宜家公司推出了一种价格相对便宜的可调节高度的站立式办公桌。
1．A 解析：主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是，Ikea(宜家公司)最近推出了一种价格相对便宜而可调节高度的站立式办公桌，故A项正确。
2．C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段可知，the Stir Kinect desk的价格是$3,890；根据第一段可知，the Bekant desk的价格是$500。故C项正确。
3．B 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones”可知，the Stir Kinect desk上面有电源插座和USB端口，可以给手机充电，故B项正确。
4．A 解析：推理判断题。最后一段JP Labrosse所讲的话的意思是：宜家公司所推出的可调节高度的办公桌能很好地打开低端市场。由此可推断，宜家公司的可调节高度的办公桌将会受到普通人的欢迎，故A项正确。
