(2017·广东卷，A)Samuel Osmond is a 19yearold law student from Cornwall，England.He never studied the piano.However，he can play very difficult musical
pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts.Then he thinks about the notes in his head.Two years ago，he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲)by Beethoven.He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly，his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable.They say his ability is very rare，but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special.Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents，but music teachers told him he should study music instead.Now，he studies law and music.
Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised.“I grew up with music.My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar.About two years ago，I suddenly decided to start playing the piano，without being able to read music and without having any lessons.It comes easily to me —I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note，”says Samuel.
Recently，Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college.The piece had more than a thousand notes.The audience was impressed by his amazing performance.He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it.Samuel says confidently，“It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”
However，Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music.His family says that even when he was a young boy，Samuel heard someone read a story，and then he could retell the story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager.He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future.For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

London and Paris
It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar，a highspeed railway service.The two capital cities have been competing in fashion，art and nightlife for decades—but each secretly looks up to the other.

In Paris，you'll see diners linger over red wine.While in London，you can try some afternoon tea，eat fish and chips or salted cake.
Vienna and Bratislava
Austrian capital Vienna and Slovakian city Bratislava are an hour apart by train.But since they are linked by the Danube River，the best way to travel is by ship.A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th century's Habsburg Dynasty splendor to scifi restaurants.
Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial palaces.You can appreciate the perfect blending of architecture and nature in the grand Schonbrunn Palace，and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee，which has made its way to the world's cultural heritage list.

体裁：记叙文 话题：人生百态 时间：7分钟
The Olympic medal ceremonies have already begun.But some athletes hardly disguise their disappointment when silver and not gold is hung around their necks.The British judo silver medallist Neil Adams calls his two from the 1980s “loser's medals”．
Until four years ago，they were in a box at the back of a cupboard.His wife then had them framed for his 50th birthday and they are now up on the wall.
Adams feels proud when he looks at them，but his thoughts quickly turn to “what ifs”．“I wouldn't change much”，he adds.And he wouldn't need to.Gold was within his grasp twice，but slipped away by a narrow margin on the judo mat.
“The losses at the Olympic Games were the most difficult thing for me to accept，” he said.“I didn't win the silver medal.I lost the gold.In my mind they were losses.It has taken more than 30 years to get over it.”
Mark Cavendish，Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah have never won Olympic gold，but they came into London 2017 as three of Team GB's biggest medal hopes.Unfortunately，Cavendish has already suffered disappointment in the cycling road race.Neil Adams was in that same position in both the 1980 and 1984 games.However，in a career in which he collected every other judo accolade，things simply went wrong at the Olympics.
In Moscow 1980，Adams was just 21 years old and found the media focus and pressure of expectation too much.
Asked about being a favourite，Adams said：“It is hell，and about how you cope with it in the mind.It can make you afraid to win or lose and there is a difference.I was afraid to lose.Sometimes you freeze.Sometimes it takes you over.”
Adams says that he was very cautious and that when something was tactical and technical he approached it too tactically.Perhaps it's better to go in with a ‘nothing to lose' attitude.That might be the reason why the Olympic Games have often created surprise results.Sometimes it's the ones who keep their cool and work the hardest who get the results.
【语篇导读】 参加奥运会的运动员都希望获得金牌，而那些与金牌失之交臂获得银牌的运动员的心里是什么滋味儿呢？
1．Where are Neil Adams'silver medals now?
A．Around his neck. B．At the back of a cupboard.
C．In a box. D．On the wall.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，现在这两枚银牌被他的妻子裱框后挂在了墙上。
答案 D
2．How long did Adams keep the medals in the box?
A．More than 30 years. B．More than 40 years.
C．More than 20 years. D．No more than 20 years.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，他分别于1980年和1984年参加奥运会，并分别夺得了一枚银牌，但他的两枚银牌是在四年前才从盒子里拿出来的，也就是2008年，那么第一枚银牌在盒子里放了28年，第二枚银牌放了24年。因此答案应为20多年。
答案 C
3．Adams always felt it a pity to win silver medals because ________.
A．he was narrowly beaten by the champion
B．he didn't try his best
C．he lacked techniques
D．he was too greedy
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句可知，他本来是能够获胜的，但最后都是对手勉强获得冠军，这让他觉得很可惜。
答案 A
4．What advice does the author give to other athletes?
A．Try to become the media focus.
B．Keep their cool and work hard.
C．Try to do better next time.
D．Use as many techniques as possible.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句可知，作者建议其他运动员要保持冷静并努力锻炼，因此选择B。
答案 B

A study suggests playing video games that might help dyslexic(诵读困难的) people learn more quickly.
Vanessa Harrar of Britain's University of Oxford led the study.She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology.The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.
In the study，Doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia，and 19 others without reading problems.The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when they heard a sound，saw a light or experienced both together.Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions.She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound.But the Dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time，this may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read.
Doctor Harrar feels like playing video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly.She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly.“Video game types of things pop out of here and there，they move your eyes around the screen quite quickly in response to things quite quickly，and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing.So，the video game is really training the attention system to move quickly，” said Harrar.When children learn the alphabet，they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound，or they see and hear the letter at the same time.The study shows that Dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.

体裁：说明文 话题：公民科学 时间：7分钟
Citizen science is a term used for projects or ongoing programs of scientific work in which individual volunteers or networks of volunteers，many of whom may have no specific scientific training，perform or manage researchrelated tasks such as observation，measurement or computation.
An example of citizen science is a project called Project BudBurst.Over the past six growing seasons，Project BudBurst has used thousands of volunteer observers.They record when local plants develop their leaves，flowers and fruit.The observations go into a huge database.Then plant scientists can study the data to look for changes over time.Project director Sandra Henderson says participatory science like this is an idea that is growing quickly.
For example，people who enjoy astronomy can observe changes in the brightness of a star.People can examine satellite images of Earth to look for sites where archeologists might find the lost tomb of Genghis Khan，the Mongolian warrior and ruler.Or someone interested in orca whales can listen to underwater microphones and let researchers know when the whales are present.Thousands of Americans and Canadians volunteered to count birds this past migration season as part of Project FeederWatch.Another area where citizen science has grown is in testing water.Amanda Bruner coordinates SoundCitizen，a project based at the University of Washington campus in Tacoma.It keeps track of pollutants in Puget Sound.
Some people，including scientists，still question whether average citizens can collect reliable data.New digital tools can help settle questions about data quality，and make it easier for people to take part in citizen science.
Public health research is another area where average citizens are getting involved—in some cases，whether researchers like it or not.The idea is for the public to have a voice in how public health studies are done.There is even a saying for this kind of activism：“No more research about us without us.”
【语篇导读】 本文属于科普类说明文，主要介绍了公民科学的含义以及人们对它的看法。
1．Who are the participants involved in citizen science?
A．Professional scientists who have retired.
B．The public showing interest in some science projects.
C．Citizens who have specific scientific training.

【长难句解读】
原文 Citizen science is a term used for projects or ongoing programs of scientific work in which individual volunteers or networks of volunteers，many of whom may have no specific scientific training，perform or manage researchrelated tasks such as observation，measurement or computation.
译文 公民科学用于指那些处理科学工作的工程或持续进行的项目，参与其中的是一些个人志愿者或志愿者群体，他们中许多人可能没有经过特定的科学训练，而执行或者管理与科学研究有关的一些任务，如观察、测量或计算。
分析 定语从句“in which individual volunteers or networks of volunteers...or computation”为限制性定语从句，修饰“projects or ongoing programs of scientific work”，这一定语从句的主语“individual volunteers or networks of volunteers”又被many of whom 引导的非限制性定语从句修饰。
