show runner ofthe newest comedy show on television.Only it isnt so popular yet,and your livestudio audience dont give you the big laughs the show deserves.Do you film theshow all over again,hoping that this time the audience will laugh?Or is thereanother option for making a joke sound funnier than it was received?Sweeten(使悦耳)the sound by adding a laugh track!“Sweetening”or theaddition of sound effects such as laughs,screams,and other audience-producednoises to the audio track of a TV show,has been used since the 1940s to producethe appearance,or rather the sound,of an engaged and entertained response to ashows comedy.Laugh tracks came into existence as not only a solution,andsometimes replacement,for an unengaged live audience but also as a way to engagean at-home audience into a more-traditional,public and theaterlike experience.Adding a laugh track to a television show makes the viewers at home feel much lesslike theyre sitting on a couch staring at the television screen and much morelike theyre in a room full of laughing happy people.Though the art of“sweetening”has risen and fallen in popularity over thepast 60 years,credit for its creation and continued use

between male and femaleleaders in the professional world.A recent statistic shows that women nowadayshold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at Global Top 500 companies,accordingto Catalyst.While its not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented inleadership positions,what is surprising is the fact that females may actually bebetter suited to lead in almost every area,at least according to new findingsfrom the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research,Professor Oyvind L.Martinsen and Professor Lars Glassurveyed 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types.The resultswere clear:Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leadersprobablybecause they picture a leader with a commanding voice,which is more typical ofmen than womenthis piece of research suggests that women are better atmethodical management and goal-setting,openness,sociability and supportiveness,as well as the ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women,and that was onemotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress.Theresults suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure orhighly emotional situations.Obviously,its important to consider individual differences.Anyone,regardless of gender,may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss.So nexttime youre hiring for a management position,you should have a good look at theresumes(简历)from female candidates.13.What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A.Women are worse than men.B.Men take almost all high positions.C.There is a huge gap between genders.D.Women might behave better in nearly every field.14.Which of the

Figure Out the BossB.Why Women Are Better than MenC.Why Women Make the Best BossesD.How We Can Tell Gender Difference第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10

musicians and non-musicians and divided them into different groupsbased on the age.Again musicians were significantly better at picking out speechagainst noise in all the age ranges.18Benjamin Zendel,who was part of the research team,said,“We foundthat being a musician might contribute to better hearing in old age,probably dueto musicians using their hearing systems at a high level on a regular basis.Thisadvantage widened considerably for musicians as they got older when compared tosimilar-aged non-musicians.”This study suggests that musicians might be more able to deal with theconsequences of hearing loss.19As Dr Ralph Holme said,all peopleincludingmusiciansshould try to prevent hearing damage in the first place.Itsnecessary for everyone who plays a musical instrument or listens to loud music towear ear protection.20A.Hearing normally declines as people age.B.Previous studies explained the reasons for hearing loss.C.That can effectively reduce the risk of damaging their hearing permanently.D.Still,it is far better to minimize damage by using appropriate earprotection.E.They believed musicians are also likely to experience age-related hearingproblems.F.The researchers concluded that lifelong musicianship delays age-relatedchanges in hearing.G.It found a 70-year-old musicians hearing was as good as that of a 50-year-old non-musician.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分 45
