Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Whether it is Mozart or Miley,your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well in your work.
A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry,proof reading and problem solving.
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,had the biggest positive impact with 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 10 people performed better,” said Dr.David Lewis,Chairman of Mindlab International.
“Proper music enables people to quickly process and keep information,regulate their behaviors,make good choices,solve problems,plan and adjust to changing mental demands,” a senior investigator of Mindlab International explains.
“While many schools are cutting music programs and spending more and more time on test preparation,our findings suggest that musical training may actually help to set up children for a better academic future,” added Dr.David Lewis.

Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world.Its businesstobusiness site,Alibaba.com,allowed businesses to buy almost everything.Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge:size.Alibaba is just big,even by Chinese standards.Its markets attract 231 million active buyers,8 million sellers,11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman.It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.
If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life,take my experience.I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded,polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics,bathroom furnishings,and anything else my wife wanted.“You’re looking for what exactly?Why not try it?”my Chinese teacher asked me one day.With that,my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.
Alibaba’s original businesstobusiness model now is second to consumer buying.Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit,and leading that group is Taobao,with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find.TMall.com is Alibaba’s other big site,where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.
What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S.is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping—bigbox retailers especially—in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites.In smaller towns than Beijing,where big retailers have not yet traveled,shopping online is shopping,and shopping is Taobao.
I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping.I’m not even a big buyer,because I need friends to help me search the Chineselanguage site.When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad,which helps me buy goods,I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.
4.Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in
.
A.its businesstobusiness service
B.its big size
C.its not charging small sellers
D.its low price
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge:size.”(阿里巴巴的优势是显而易见的,即其规模。)可知答案为B项。
5.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage?
A.Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites.
B.Alibaba will continue to develop.
C.Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.
D.Alibaba stands out as the best online site.
答案 C
解析 句意猜测题。根据画线句子及后面的句子可推知阿里巴巴只是给买方和卖方搭建了一座桥梁。故答案为C项。
6.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Alibaba’s businesstobusiness service earns more money than retail now.
B.Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.
C.TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao.
D.The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据本文最后一句话可推知作者的中文老师也是一个热衷于网上购物的人,故答案为D项。
7.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Shopping online in China is Taobao.
B.Alibaba greatly influences people’s daily purchases in China.
C.Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.
D.How the author purchases online in China.
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是第二段第一句及第四段可知选B项。
Ⅱ.语法填空
Nowadays,more and more schools in China have rules making students wear school uniforms to school.A lot of Chinese students complain about 8.wearing(wear) their school uniforms every day.But 9.do American students get annoyed about their uniforms,too?American high schools usually have a dress code,10.which is about requirements for students’ dressing.Boys at school must wear clean jackets every day.Girls are 11.luckier(luck) than boys,they have more flexible 12.choices(choose) than boys.They can either dress similarly to the boys 13.or wear a dress.In general,it takes a student 10-15 minutes every morning 14.to dress(dress) up for class.As students do in China,plenty of American students also have their complaints about school uniforms.What if students really dislike the dress code and want to get rid of it?Instead of getting punished,15.actually(actual) there’re ways to do that.At my school,“dress down” tickets 16.are sold(sell) on school days.If students are willing to buy a ticket,they don’t need to wear school uniforms the following day.I have a strong 17.belief(believe) that one day Chinese students can buy these tickets,too.

As the picture shows,many people enjoy playing with their mobile phones even when they are walking,riding a bike or driving a car.Such phenomenon deserves our attention.
Being addicted to playing with mobile phones is harmful to us.First,if we spend too much time on them,we are likely to ignore the people around us.As a matter of fact,many young people lack the communication skills to develop a pleasant relationship with others.Besides,it is dangerous to play with mobile phones while walking,riding or driving,which is a main cause of road accidents.
It is time to reflect on our behavior.The mobile phone is designed to help us communicate with others conveniently,not to spoil our life.Book 2 Module 4 Fine Arts—Western,Chinese and Pop Arts
