Depressed people can be very difficult to be around，and yet they need more than the usual amount of support and understanding from their friends and family.The anger and lack of concern that a depressed person may have for people close to him or her can be very disturbing to someone who's trying to help.At such times，the sincerity of a friend or a family member is questioned when the depressed person doesn't feel worthy of someone's friendship.Withdrawal from others can make it nearly impossible to encourage a depressed person to enter into activities that may help pull him or her out of the depression.It is frequently difficult for a depressed person to carry on a conversation.Attempts to help may be met with defensiveness and verbal attacks.While being supportive and understanding，the friend of a family member must be careful not to do too many things for the depressed person.There is a very thin line between being supportive and being overly protective.Too much“doing for” can be a disservice(帮倒忙)．You can best help a friend or relative who is depressed by considering the following points：◆Do not moralize.Don't pressure him or her to “put on a happy face，” or to “snap out of it.” Often the person will feel even worse after hearing such words.◆When you are alone with your depressed friend，you might say something like，“I've noticed lately that you seem down.I care about you and would like to listen to what you're thinking about.” Then be a good listener.◆Don't say，“I know exactly how you feel.” You probably don't.But if you've had similar experiences，sharing those may help.Say things like，“This happened to me.It might help you.” Or “I know some of what you must be feeling.”◆Urge him or her to get professional help if necessary.Offer to accompany your friend on the first visit if it will be easier for the person.【小题1】．The above passage is mainly intended for &&&&.A．a doctor who works with a depressed personB．a depressed personC．one who lives with a depressed personD．an expert who gives advice to a depressed person【小题2】Too much “doing for” can &&&&.A．cause more severe depressionB．give the depressed person courageC．result in defensiveness from the depressed personD．be of no help to the depressed person【小题3】What are you advised to say to a depressed person?A．Try to look happy and you'll be better.B．I know exactly how you feel.C．I had a similar experience.And it might help you.D．Cheer up and get rid of your depression.【小题4】We can infer from the second paragraph that a depressed person &&&&.A．is willing to appreciate the sincerity of a friend or a family memberB．has a sense of pride of his ownC．may do something unreasonable to your friendshipD．is likely to doubt the purpose of a friend or family memberC&

一、听力题的解题技巧
1．浏览试题，学会预测话题。
高考英语听力测试的对话或短文的测试点一般都集中体现在一些主要信息上，在听力测试开始前，或每段对话后的十秒钟的间隔时间，我们应迅速浏览每小题的题干和选项，搜索出答题可能涉及的相关信息，并据此有意识地预测对话或短文的内容或可能隐藏的答题需的重要信息。
2．合理分配注意力。
在高考英语听力测试中，由于成篇的听力材料的信息量大且集中，中间又夹杂着大量的冗余信息，在听录音时，要养成听前抢读、听中边听边记、抓关键词等技巧，科学合理地分配注意力，可以有效地提高听力测试成绩。　
3．运用归纳、分析、综合等技巧推断最佳答案。
纵观近几年高考英语听力试题，整体听力材料所提供的信息越来越大，句子长，结构复杂，所设问题综合性强。我们往往不能从材料中直接听到选项答案。不少答案需要我们能够在理解录音材料大意、掌握其中重要细节的基础上，再经过分析、判断，才能选出最佳答案。
4．了解文体特点，注意结构层次
一般情况下，整体听力材料第6-10段中都有一段独白材料，我们在听这段材料时，如果能够充分了解短文的文体特点和结构层次，将有助于我们在听的过程中分清主次，将注意力集中在关键语句(主题句)和与问题有关的内容上来。
听力题的解题陷阱
试题：How much
will the woman pay if she buys two skirts?&&&&& A. $18&&&
B. $19&&&& C. $20
错答：A&&&&&&&&&&
陷阱：本题是数字陷阱。很多同学容易听成买一件就便宜1美元，导致计算时变成$18，而误选A。
附录音材料：W:
Very nice skirts. How much are they?
M: $10 each and $1 off if people
buy two. They’re on sale.
试题：What will
the speakers discuss?&&&&& A. A report. &&&&&&
B. A computer.& C. A report on computer.
错答：B&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
陷阱：本题是信息先后陷阱。由于正确答案处于对话的开始，很多同学没有引起注意，只听到my
new computer的信息，所以导致很多同学误选B。&
附录音材料：
M: I know you want to talk about this report. But
I’d like to talk about my new computer.
W: Let’s keep to the point. We can talk about that
later. All right?
试题：How did
the man find the lecture?&&&&& A. Good. &&&&&&
B. Boring.&&&&& &&&&&& C.
错答：B&&&&&&&&&&
陷阱：本题是信息理解陷阱。“it
was worth the time”表示听这个讲座的时间花得值。但有的同学由于没有理解这个信息，导致误选B。
附录音材料： W:
Was the lecture as good as you had expected?
M: Oh, it was worth the time.
W: I thought so. The speaker is one of the greatest
scientists in today’s world.
试题：What will
Susan do very soon?& A. Leave Beijing. B. Go to Beijing. C. Take a job in
错答：C&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
陷阱：本题是人物对象陷阱。应是Susan的丈夫“Take a job in Beijing”，而不是Susan本人。Susan应是“Go
to Beijing”去陪她的丈夫。附录音材料：
M: I met Mary in the street today.
W: Really? Did she say anything about Susan?
M: Yes. She ought to be leaving Shanghai very soon,
because her husband has taken a job in Beijing.
试题：What does
the woman want the man to do?
&&&&& A. Repair the bookshelf
for her.&&&&&& &&&&&&
B. Put the books on the shelf.&&&&&& &&&&&&
C. Put the books on the floor.
错答：B&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
陷阱：本题是字词陷阱。由于没有理解fix(=repair)的词义，导致误选B。附录音材料：
W: Could you help me fix the broken bookshelf now?
I have put all my books on the floor.
M: Yes, of course.
记下我此时的心得：

二、单项选择题的解题技巧
1、抓住信息词汇，分析语境，明确考点。
单项填空题一般都有一定的语境，因此一定要细心读完整题，结合信息词所给的提示，弄清题目的意图，找出解决问题的突破口。只有这样正确判断，才可选出最佳答案。
Mary kept weighing herself to see how much ______ she was getting.
A. heavier& &&&&&
&&&&&& B. heavy& &&&& &&&&&&
C. the heavier &&&&&& D. the heaviest
本题检测在特定语境中对形容词同级比较结构的掌握和运用。为了能够准确、地道的表达传递信息，必须掌握合乎规范要求的语法结构与表达方式。本句意在表达“Mary
总是在称体重，意在看体重增加了多少。”因此是在原有体重和增加体重之间有对比关系。另外，much
修饰比较级，也是个信息词，所以选择&heavier .答案为A。
例2 ― Really? Who will give _______ lecture? And about
Professor Chen, ________ president of the Beijing University , on the environment
protection.
A. the& &&
&&&&&& &&&&&& B. the
; a&& && &&&&&& C. /&&
&&&&& &&&&&& D. /
本句考查冠词用法。解题时由信息词Really
?可知事先对方已经告诉了有关讲座的事情。因此询问“谁将作讲座”时应是第二次提到，故用定冠词the
，而第二空表示头衔和职位的名词充当同位语时前面一般不用冠词，因此选D。
2、排除种种思维定势的干扰。
语法规则定势；固定短语搭配定势；母语思维定势等都会影响学生的选择。在高考中，各题的干扰项都是经过精心设计编制而成的，所以学生要注意平时学习中常出现的错误；尤其要注意不受本族语的影响，重视语言差异。因为不同的民族的文化背景、风俗习惯、思维方式和语言表达方式，形成英汉两种语言在表达上也有很大的差异，所以绝对不可用中文的思维模式来解决英语的有关问题，尤其是在情景对话中。如：
― Waiter! &&&&&&
&&&&&& ― ___________.&&
&&&&&& ― I
can’t eat this .It’s too salty
A. Yes?& &&&&&&
&&&&&& B. What? &&&&&&
&&&&&& C. Pardon?&&&& &&&&&&
本题考查对别人呼唤的应答方式，英语中应用Yes?
而不是What? 或Pardon?
― Hi, haven’t seen you for ages! You look
_______ . You look well, too.
A. Great& &&&
&&&&&& B. Thanks& && &&&&&&
C. Oh，no& & &&&&&&
D. Not at all
有的学生受中国传统文化的影响，很可能选C项。但是对于别人的赞美或表扬，英美人不像中国人那样“客气”，而是常用thank you 之类的答谢语。因此答案为B。
I agree with most of what you said , but I don’t agree with ________.
A. everything&& &&&&&&
B. anything& &&&&&& C. something& &&&&&
D. nothing
本题考查不定代词的用法。很多学生因为受中文翻译的影响。可能错选B。因为anything 表示“任何事情”。但是anything
在否定句中与not 相连用时其实是全否定。意思是“我不同意你所说的任何事情。”因此与前句产生矛盾。原句意思应该是“并不是你说的任何一样事情（即每一样事情）我都同意。”这与I
agree with most of what you said .相一致。所以应用A项。
Which do you enjoy __________ your weekend , going skating or playing video games?
A. spending& &&&
&&&&&& B. to spend& & &&&&&&
C. spent& &&&&& &&&&&&
D. to be spent
由于容易受语法思维定势影响，enjoy
后面往往接动名词，所以有些学生就不加思索地选A。其实本句enjoy
的宾语是which ，而to
spend your weekend 是作状语成分，因此应选不定式形式。B为正确答案。
７ Anyway, that evening, ________ I’ll tell
you more about later, I ended up staying at Rachel’s place.
A. when&& &&&&&&
&&&&&& B. where& &&&& &&&&&&
C. what&& &&&& &&&&&&
本题考查定语从句中关系词的选择。很多学生看到that
evening 一词，受思维定势影响就会选择A项。其实分析一下that
evening 在非限制性定语从句中的成分可知，that evening 是tell you more about 后的宾语。因此应用关系代词which
The home improvements have taken what little there is _______ my spare time.
A. in& &&&&&&
&&&&&& B. from& &&&&&
&&&&&& C. of& && &&&&&&
&&&&&& D. at
学生往往会受in
one’s spare time 固定搭配的影响，在没有弄清句子结构的情况下错选A。其实后面的句子可以还原为What little of my spare time there
is !little 在本句中是不定代词，相当于little time ，常与of 搭配。因此选C。
3、善于改变句式，尽量化繁为简，化难为易。
解题时不妨将疑问句变成陈述句、将省略句补完整、将被动句式变成主动句式、将复合句变成简单句、强调句变成一般句式或将插入语成分剔除，抓住句子的主干成分。这样试题难度降低了，学生会迎刃而解。
Is this factory _________ you visited last year?
A. to which& &&&
B. the one& && &&&&&& C. that&&
&&&&& &&&&&& D. where
如果将本句还原成陈述句的话，即This
factory is _____ you visited last year .不难看出本句中缺少的是定语从句前的被修饰词即先行词以及引导定语从句的关系词，因此，首先，排除A、C、D项。而B项中先行词后的关系词that
或which 是定语从句中的宾语，完全可以省略，故选 B。
Was it _____ the product on CCTV that made the company the focus (焦点)
of the country then?
A. advertised& &&&&&
B. having advertised& C. to advertise&& D. advertising
本题考查动名词作主语和强调句型的掌握。
解本题时先将疑问句变成陈述句，不难看出这是个强调句型，判断依据是因为它由It
was --- that --- 三个词构成强调句型的框架，且将这三个词去掉后句子照样成立。然后将构成强调句型的三个词It was --- that 去掉，原句变成一个一般的句子，即________
the product on CCTV made the company the focus of the country then . 再从句子的结构来看本句所缺的词与the
product 构成句子的主语，所以可以排除A、B两项。最后确定用不定式还是动名词。不定式和动名词都可以作主语，而动词不定式主语是强调特定场合下发生的动作，所以C不符合题意。因此只有D项表示经常性的习惯动作或活动。
4、注重固定搭配短语的积累，并善于将肢解的短语进行整合搭配。
He accidentally _______ he had quarreled with his wife and that he hadn’t been
home for a couple of weeks.
A. let out& &&&&&&
B. took care&& &&&&& C. fell out&&&
&&&&&& D. made out
本题考查动词短语辨析。let
out 有“遗漏;泄露”之意。take
care 照料；fall out 脱落，闹翻；make
out 弄清楚。根据句中的and that 可以断定两个并列的宾语从句需要的是一个谓语动词，意思是，他偶然泄露了，他和妻子吵架后，两周都没在家里住了。因此答案是Ａ。　
In my opinion , it is the best use that could be _______ of the our money.
up& && B. turned out& &&&&& C. spent&
&&&&& &&&&&& D. made
该题考查固定短语make
use of 。其被动语态为be made use of 。题中将use&
作为先行词，而原有的动词与介词放于定语从句中。如果学生对此短语熟悉的话，会具有一定的敏感性。由此会选择Ｄ。因为其余选项与use
不搭配。故选Ｄ。
5、注意分析句子结构，确定选择方向
一个句子所使用的标点符号、有无连词，往往起着决定性的作用；而插入语、省略语等，在一定程度上干扰考生的思维。
13& My sister, an inexperienced rider, was found sitting on the bicycle ___
to balance it.
&& A. having tried &&&&&& B. trying &
&&& &&&&&& C. to try& &&&&&&
&&&&&& D. tried
&&& 分析句子结构，an experienced rider是插入语，同时，主语my
sister与try之间为主动
关系，首先排除D项；而后考虑sit on the bicycle与try
to balance it 同时发生，可知B项
为正确答案。
Who do you think you’d rather _____ the tape recorder?
A. have to repair&&&&&
B. have fixed& &&&&&& C. get repaired&&&&&&
& D. get to repair
在确定答案之前，我们先来看看下面这个句子：
I think I would rather have the
man fix the tape recorder.
I think I would rather get the
man to fix the tape recorder.
在这两句中，假若对名词the
man 提问，便可得出：Who do you think you would rather
have repair the tape recorder?
/ Who do you think you would rather get
to repair the tape recorder?
The children went home from the grammar school, their lessons ___for the day.
A. finishing&&&&
B. finished&&&&&& C. had finished&&&
D. were finished
由于中间有逗号，
意味着后面的部分是状语。由于该部分前面没有连词，故不能用
谓语形式。 因此要用finished构成独立主格结构。
6、弄清从句性质，缺啥补啥，健全句子结构
当考查名词性从句或定语从句时，依次优先观察从句中是否缺主语，宾语，若缺某一
成分，就得选择能够充当该成分的选项。若主语、宾语、表语或定语都不缺，就再观察句子是否缺哪类状语，选择能够充当该状语的选项，以补全句子结构。
Choosing the right dictionary depends on&&&&&&
&you want to use it for.
A. what&&&&&&&
&&&& B. why&&&&&&&&
& C how&&&&&& &&&&&&
what 引导的名词性从句作介词on的宾语,what在从句中又充当介词for的宾语.
We shouldn’t spend our money testing so many people, most of &&&&&are
A that&&&&&
&&& &&&&&& B which&&&&&&
&&& C what&&&&&&&&&
本题考察非限制性定性定语从句,介词of后面缺宾语,能够作宾语且能够引导定语从句的关系代词which 和whom， 由于非限制性定性定语从句用来说明前面指人的名词people， 故用whom充当介词of的宾语。

四、阅读理解题的解题技巧
高考考纲在阅读理解方面对考生有六大要求，即理解主旨要义、理解文中具体信息、根据上下文推断生词的词义、做出简单判断和推理、理解文章的基本结构、理解作者的意图观点态度。这六个能力要求对应我们常见的六种题型：主旨大意题、细节理解题、词义猜测题、推理判断题、文章结构题及作者观点态度题。
●主旨要义题注意点：
（1）要找到文章的关键词
（2）范围不能太大，也不能太小即只是文章部分信息
（3）主旨在文章开头（如调查或研究结果、新闻报道、部分议论文等）、主旨在文章结尾、主旨在文章第二或第三段（第一或一二段为主题的引子）或通读以后进行对各个部分概括所得，当然最后一种较难，那么就要养成对文章标段，读完每段要抓出段落大意，这种方法对文章结构题也同样适用。
●词义猜测题注意点：一般在前句或后句中体现，通过解释、说明等方法，常用 that is, that
is to say, in other words , which(who)引导的定语从句来解释，
或but, however, and 等表示与之相反或并列（同类），通过这些进行简单的分析都不难得出答案。
●推理判断题注意点：
（1）了解常用的表示推断的词：infer, imply, suggest, reveal, mean,
intend, conclude等；有时提问中含有may, might, probably,
most likely等表示可能的词和surely等表示肯定的词，这些细节词也要注意。
（2）了解类型：推断文章的出处、作者的态度（positive, negative, neutral,
approving, opposed, objective, subjective, indifferent, cautious, worried, doubtful,
suspicious等）、节选的文章上文或下文所讲内容
（3）根据作者所使用的词语的褒贬性进行判断；区分开作者的态度及作者引用的别人的态度；读文章前先读题、边读边标小结、读一段标出、划出或自己用中文或英文写出本段的main
idea来帮助正确定夺文章结构图答案。
阅读理解题的干扰项的设置具有一定的迷惑性，起干扰作用。它不仅能检测出考生理解、概括、推断等逻辑思维的精确性、深刻性，而且对考生个性心理品质也是一种检验，干扰项的干扰性一般在如下五个方面：1．脱离原文；2．以偏概全；3．扩缩范围；4．偷换概念；5．正误并存。希望同学们用火眼金睛排除这些干扰项，提高阅读题的正确率。
提示：选择答案时应以文章作为依据，而不要以自己的想法或经历作为依据。
巩固练习：&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Mrs. Bertha Flowers appealed to me because she was
like people I had never met personally. Like women in English novels who walked
the moors(旷野) with their loyal dogs racing
at a respectful distance. Like the women who sat in front of roaring fireplaces,
drinking tea from silver trays full of biscuits. It would be safe to say that just
by being herself, she made me feel proud to be Negro.
One summer afternoon, she stopped at the store to
buy supplies. Another Negro woman of her health and age would have been expected
to carry the paper sacks home in one hand, but Momma said, “Sister Flowers, I’ll
send Bailey up to your house with these things.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Henderson. I’d prefer Marguerite,
though.” My name sounded so beautiful when she said it. “I’ve been meaning to talk
to her, anyway.” They gave each other age group looks.
There was a little path beside the rocky road, and
Mrs. Flowers walked in front swinging her arms and picking her way over the stones.
Without turning her head, she spoke to me, “I hear
you’re working very good school work, Marguerite, but that it’s all written. The
teachers report that they have trouble getting you to talk in class.” We passed
the triangular farm on our left and the path widened to allow us to walk together.
“Now no one is going to make you talk―possibly no
one can. But bear in mind, language is man’s way of communicating with his fellow
man and it is language alone which separates him from the lower animals.” That
was a totally new idea to me, and I would need time to think about it.
“Your grandmother says you read a lot. Every chance
you get. That’s good, but not good enough. Words
mean more than what is set down on paper.”
She said she was going to give me some books and
that I not only must read them, I must read them aloud. She suggested that I try
to make a sentence sound in as many different ways as possible.
“I’ll accept no excuse if you return a book to me
that has been badly handled.” My imagination boggled(退缩)
at the punishment I would deserve if in fact I did abuse a book of Mrs. Flowers’.
The odors in the house surprised me. The sweet scent
of vanilla(香草) had met us as she opened
“Have a seat, Marguerite. You see, I had planned
to invite you for cookies and lemonade so we could have this little chat.” She
carried a plate covered with a tea towel.
When I finished the cookies she brought a thick,
small book from the bookcase. I had read A Tale of Two Cities and found
it up to my standards as a romantic novel. She opened the first page and I heard
poetry for the first time in my life.
“It was the best of times and worst of times...”
Her voice slid in and curved down through and over
the words. She was nearly singing. I wanted to look at the pages. Were they the
same that I had read? Or were there notes, music, lined on the pages? Her sounds
began cascading(瀑布般落下) gently. I knew that
she was nearing the end of her reading.
“How do you like that?”
It occurred to me that she expected a response.
The sweet vanilla flavor was still on my tongue and her reading was a magic to
my ears. I had to speak.
I said, “Yes, ma’am.” It was the least I could do,
but it was the most also.
“There’s one more thing. Take this book of poems
and memorize one for me. Next time you pay me a visit, I want to recite.”
I have often tried hard to search for the enchantment(着迷) I so easily found in those gifts. To be allowed,
no, invited, into the private lives of strangers, to share their joys and fears,
was a chance to exchange the Southern bitter wormwood(苦艾)
for a cup of mead(蜂蜜酒) with Beowulf or a
hot cup of tea and milk with Oliver Twist. When I said aloud, “It is a
far, far better thing than anything I have ever done...” tears of love filled my
eyes at my selflessness.
I was liked, and what a difference it made, I was
respected not as Mr. Henderson’s grandchild or Bailey’s sister but for just being
Marguerite Johnson.

Big data, the tech story of a few years ago, is
now beginning to show big results. The science of using powerful computers, ubiquitous(无处不在的) sensors and the Web to produce mountains
of raw data to uncover previously invisible insights is increasingly used in businesses,
universities and government agencies. It is transforming our understanding of everything
from fetal development to cosmology(宇宙学).
Already, thanks to big data, we have learned that
babies learn language not from repetition but by hearing words used in multiple
contexts. We can now identify approaching sessions of depression, even suicidal
tendencies, by looking at the changing lifestyle (social media usage, diminishing
movement) of potential victims. And, using Google search data, epidemiologists(流行病学家) can spot an emerging epidemic before doctors
One of the most extraordinary features of big data
is that it signals the end of the era of statistics. For 400 years, we’ve been
forced to sample complex systems and estimate. Now, with big data, it is possible
to measure everything, from the movement of billions of stars to every beat of
the human heart.
Big data is also making its way, almost silently,
into everyday life. In Israel, 80% of the citizenry contribute traffic data to
help each other commute via the WAZE app on smartphones, increasingly the platform
of choice for big data. California is looking at using the accelerometers in smart-
phones, which detect sudden motion, to create an early-warning system for earthquakes
that will be much faster than government-installed devices.
Farmers in the Midwest will soon have measurements
taken in their fields nearly down to individual plants―and that will combine data
on soil, water and weather to come up with trillions of scenarios for insurance
coverage. Victims of natural disasters are now being pinpointed and given aid through
real-time analysis of tweets, instant messages and phone calls. Even one of the
oldest of arts, geography, is being revolutionized with maps that will change by
the second.
But it is in the commercial world where big data
has seen its greatest inroads to date. A recent survey by consultants NewVantage
Partners has found that the number of U.S. firms using big data in the past three
years has jumped 58 percentage points to 63%―while 70% of firms now say that big
data is of critical importance to their firms, an astounding jump from 21% in 2012.
That’s one of the fastest tech-adoption rates ever. Meanwhile, the title of chief
data officer―the C-Suite manager of big data―a title that until recently didn’t
even exist, is now found in 54% of companies surveyed.
The commercial impact of this revolution can be
found everywhere from products and services that can predict the unique needs of
individual customers, to improved credit precision, to stores that adapt (through
special discounts and deals that pop up on your smartphone) to each customer who
walks through the door.
To date, much of this activity has remained hidden
from sight. But soon it will burst forth much more publicly―and the experiences
of daily life will be profoundly transformed into a new set of personalized, predictive
and empowered experiences we can barely imagine today.
1. Big data is different from past statistics in that _______.
&A. it uses sample systems to analyze and estimate B. it can measure and
calculate everything
&C. it affects every aspect of life&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. it uses computers, sensors and the Web
2. Big data has not been used in _______?
&A. identifying potential depression&&&& &&&&&&
&&&&&& &&&&&& B. choosing
suitable routes
&C. insuring farmers’ plants&& &&&&&&
&&&&&& &&&&&& &&&&&&
&&&&&& D. meeting customers’ special needs
3. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
&A. babies used to learn language from repetition
&B. government-installed devices are not used in detect earthquakes any
C. C-suite mangers have long existed in most companies
&D. the public has not been aware of the impacts of big data on life

The 2016 presidential candidates
have subjected voters nationwide to a cognitive challenge: can you untangle what one candidate
is saying while the others talk over him? That challenge is a test of something
called the cocktail party problem, or &speech-on-speech perception.&
Researchers in The Netherlands recently investigated, with a group of 18 musicians
and 20 nonmusicians―to see if musicians are any better at it.
The scientists played the study
subjects a sample of one speaker masking another―for example, try to follow what
the second speaker is saying: Except they used Dutch samples. Anyway, the participants
listened to this multi-voice babble(含糊不清的话)with
headphones, then attempted to repeat the target sentence, to see how many words
they could make out. And it turns out musicians scored significantly higher than
non-musicians did in deciphering(破译) the
target phrase. The study is in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.
It turns out musicians might
be better at something called &stream segregation&―separating out one
meaningful audio stream among others. &And this is the case indeed for musicians
when they want to listen to hear out one specific instrument, within a group of
instruments.& said Etienne Gaudrain, a hearing scientist at University Medical
Center Groningen in the Netherlands. His co-author, Deniz Başkent agreed.
&Anecdotally, when I speak to my musician friends, they do indeed mention
situations like this, that they say they can switch their attention easily to either
hear one stream, like from an orchestra piece or a band, or they can also combine
patterns. So this requires quite a lot of cognitive control to be able to hear
one stream or two streams together or to hear all of them together, but we think
they are very well trained in this kind of skill.”
It's unclear whether this ability
helps the candidates much. Neither Mike Huckabee, who plays bass in the band &Capitol
Offense,& nor Martin O'Malley, who strums and croons in &O'Malley's March,&
made it far enough to really exercise their ears.
1.The underlined word “untangle
” in Paragraph 1 means ______________.

2. According to the passage, what is Deniz Başkent’s
& A. Musicians didn’t score higher than non-musicians
& B. Musicians might be better at something
called &stream segregation&
& C. Musicians can not switch their attention
& D. Musicians have subjected voters nationwide
to a cognitive challenge.
3. Which is the suitable title?
A. It's unclear whether this
ability helps the candidates much.&&
B. Presidential candidates have
subjected voters nationwide to a cognitive challenge.
C. Musicians have subjected voters
nationwide to a cognitive challenge.&
D. Bring a Musician to Untangle

The British people are famous for their politeness,
or to be more precise, their penchant for over-apologizing. Sometimes, they will
even apologize for the bad weather or when someone walks into them.
According to a BBC article, “a recent survey of
more than 1,000 Brits found that the average person says ‘sorry’ around eight times
every day, and that one in eight people apologize up to 20 times a day”.
To write her book Watching the English: The
Hidden Rules of English Behavior, British social anthropologist Kate Fox did
a series of experiments. She deliberately bumped into hundreds of people in towns
and cities across the UK. For comparison, Fox asked her colleagues to do the same
in other countries. Although the collisions were clearly Fox’s fault, around 80
percent of those she bumped into said ‘sorry’. Compared with foreign tourists traveling
in the UK, the English people were much more likely to apologize.
According to the BBC article, most Brits say “sorry”
casually and out of habit. They may say “sorry” more often, but that doesn’t necessarily
mean they are truly feeling regretful. “We use the word ‘sorry’ in different ways,”
says Edwin Battistella, a linguistics expert. “We use it to express empathy --
so I might say, ‘Sorry about the rain’,’’ Battistella was quoted by the BBC as
saying. “It might be that British and Canadian speakers use that kind of ‘sorry’
more often, but they wouldn’t be apologizing per se（本身）.
According to the BBC article, Britons see politeness
as showing respect “without imposing on someone else’s personal space. And without
drawing attention to oneself”. For people in the US, however, politeness is “characterized
by friendliness and a desire to feel apart of a group”.
For example, the British will say “sorry” when they
want to sit down next to someone they don’t know. That is because not saying “sorry”
is a greater invasion（侵略）of that stranger’s
personal space.
A study from the Harvard Business School seems to
confirm this. The study shows that apologizing for circumstances beyond someone’s
control can foster trust between two strangers. A male actor was recruited in the
study to approach strangers at a US train station on a rainy day and ask to borrow
their phone. In half the cases, the actor preceded（先于）his
request with “Sorry about the rain”. When he did this, 47% of strangers gave him
their cell phone, compared to only 9% when he simply made the request in a polite
manner. By saying “sorry about the rain”, the apologizer “acknowledges an unfortunate
circumstance”, takes the other person’s perspective, and thus demonstrates empathetic
concern. This, in turn, creates a bond of trust between each other.

六、书面表达题的解题技巧
书面表达题可以从以下几个方面进行解题：
1．审题：认真阅读试题，做到明确中心思想，判断类型和特点，了解重点内容，力求切中题意。不论书面表达是以哪种形式提供情景，都要首先搞清楚要求写的是一般记叙文，还是说明文，应用文等。只有审清题目，明确了体裁与格式，方能有的放矢。
2．打草稿：将要点在草稿纸上用英语表达出来，力争语句正确地道，尽可能地减少错误，避免出现汉字、拼音、空格等低级错误，尽量避开自己使用起来没有把握的单词和句子。要充分运用熟悉的有把握的句型和词组，不要做不必要的冒险和牺牲。同时注意时态、人称、顺序和开头结尾。其中时态和人称至关重要。
3．修改：写完后要认真通读一遍，改正错误，尤其是时态、人称、主谓一致、习惯用法、单词拼写等容易出错的地方。
4．誊答案：英语书面表达是唯一的一项主观性试题，评分过程中就会难免有很多主观因素。漂亮的字体、干净整洁的卷面会使人赏心悦目，无疑会给作文增色不少。因此，在誊答案时要注意书写规范，字母均匀大小适中，字体工整，保持卷面整洁，切忌潦草凌乱、乱涂乱改。如需改动，可用笔画斜线进行删除就可以了。
5．再复查：将答案誊到答题纸上之后，还要快速地复查一下，以防止由于粗心大意而出现的一些完全可以避免的错误，例如单复数、拼写、搭配、时态、标点符号等方面的错误。

A boy found an eagle's egg and
he put it in the nest of a hen. The
eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what chickens
do-scratching for food and flying short distances. It was a dull life. Gradually
the eagle grew older and bitter. One day he and his chicken friends saw a beautiful
bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains.
wish I could fly like that!” said the eagle. The chicken replied, &Don't
give it another thought. That's the mighty(强大的)
eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!“ And the eagle didn't give it another thought. He
went on cackling and complaining about life. He
died thinking he was a prairie chicken.
My friends, you too were born
an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the chickens!
Hatched by a hen, an eagle lived like a chicken.
He wanted to fly like an eagle but
