20、ing to music while you drive can improve your speed and ability to get away fromaccidents,according to Australian psychologists.But turning your car radio up to fullvolume could probably make you end up in an accident.The performance of difficult taskscan be affected if people are subjected to loud

21、noise.The experience of pulling up at trafficlights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydneylook into whether loud music has something to do with driving.The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and testedthem on almost t

22、he same driving tasks under three noise conditions:silence,rock musicplayed at a gentle 55 decibels(分贝),and the same music at 85 decibels.For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine likea car.They had to track a moving disk on screen,respond to traffic signals cha

23、nging color,and brake in response to arrows that appeared without warning.On the tracking task,there was no difference in performance under the three noiseconditions.But under both the loud and quiet music conditions,the performers“braked”at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did whe

24、n there was no rock music atall.That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters actually,thedifference between life and death for a pedestrian.When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field,the psychologistsfound that when the music was quiet，people responded

25、faster to objects in their centralfield of sight by about 50 milliseconds.For the people listening at 85 decibels,responsetimes dropped by a further 50 millisecondsa whole tenth of second faster than those“driving”with no music.“But theres a trade-off,”the psychologists told the European Congress of

26、Psychology.“They lose the ability to look around the whole situation effectively.”Inresponding to objects that suddenly appeared,people subjected to 85-decibel rock musicwere around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups.Since some accidentssuch as children running into the roadtake plac

27、e without any notice,drivers listeningto loud music must be less safe as a result.64.Which of the following is the best way to make driving safer?A.Loud music.B.Quiet music.C.Silence.D.Heavy metal music.65.Where did the researchers do the experiment?A.At crossroads.B.At a police traffic station.C.In

28、 a crowded street.D.Under the same conditions as those of the streets.66.Which of the following didnt help the performers to“brake”sooner at red lights?A.Silence.B.Loud music.C.Quiet music.D.Rock music.67.Which of the following is NOT true of loud music?A.It helped the performers to brake sooner at

29、red lights.B.It helped the performers to be more careful.C.It helped the performers to respond faster to objects suddenly stepping in the way.D.It can do more good than harm to drivers.C CGrasshoppers are having to change their songone of the iconic sounds of summertomake themselves heard above the

30、noise of road traffic,ecologists have discovered.The study,published in the British Ecological Societys journal Functional Ecology,is the first toshow that human-made noise affects natural insect populations.Animals use sound tocommunicate for many reasons,including marking out territory,warning of

31、predators andfinding mates,and although previous research shows birds,whales and even frogs changetheir calls in noisy environments,the impact of human-made noise on insects has beenneglected until now.Ulrike Lampe and colleagues from the University of Bielefeld in Germanycaught 188 male bow-winged

32、grasshoppers,half from quiet locations and half from besidebusy roads.The grasshoppers use their song to attract mates.The team then studied the differences in the two groups songs in the laboratory.To encourage them to sing they exposed the males to a female grasshopper,and then recordedtheir court

33、ship songs.Analysis of almost 1,000 recordings revealed grasshoppers livingbeside noisy roads produced different songs to those living in quieter locations.According to Lampe:Bow-winged grasshoppers produce songs that include low and highfrequency components.We found that grasshoppers from noisy hab

34、itats increase the volumeof the lower-frequency part of their song,which makes sense since road noise can masksignals in this part of the frequency spectrum(频谱).The teams findings are important because traffic noise could be upsetting thegrasshoppers mating system(交配系统).Increased noise levels could

35、affect grasshoppercourtship in several ways.It could prevent females from hearing male courtship songsproperly,prevent females from recognizing males of their own species,or impair femalesability to estimate how attractive a male is from his song,Lampe explains.Having discovered that human-made nois

36、e affects insect communication,theresearchers now want to learn more about how the mechanism works,and whether thegrasshoppers adapt to noise during their development as larvae(幼虫),or whether males fromnoisy habitats produce different songs due to genetic differences.The bow-wingedgrasshopper is a c

37、ommon species in Central Europe.Adults occur mainly between July andSeptember,preferring dry grasslands.Around 1.5 cm long,they vary in colour from greenand browns to red and purple.The males song consists of 2 second-long phrases that increasein amplitude(振幅)towards the end.The beginning of a phras

38、e is characterized by slowerticking sounds that increase in speed and amplitude,leading to a buzzing sound towardsthe end of the phrase.A courtship song usually includes 2 phrases.68.The author wrote the article to _.A.introduce how grasshoppers make noises to attract mates.B.raise the awareness of

39、protecting bow-winged grasshoppers.C.warn us that human-made noise has changed ecological system.D.inform us of a recent discovery of ecological research.69.Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?A.Grasshoppers change their songs to adapt to the noisy environment.B.Bow-winged g

40、rasshoppers use their songs to communicate.C.Grasshoppers songs include both low and high frequency components.D.Bow-winged grasshoppers are a common species in Central Europe.70.What does the underlined word“impair”in the fourth paragraph mean?A.repairB.weakenC.developD.improve71.Which of the follo

41、wing statements is true according the passage?A.Grasshopper larvaes learn to adapt to human-made noise.B.Animals make sounds only for the purpose of finding mates.C.Road noise can cover the lower-frequency part of their song.D.Bow-winged grasshoppers grow up into adults in spring.D DHilary Smith bel

42、onged to a good family.But by the age of twenty,he had spent all themoney the good old family had.He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison.He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay.Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary.What he could d

43、o seemedto be one of two things:die or work.Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world.He had an aunt.She was his fathers only sister,but his father used to say she brought no glory tothe family.Hilary,of course,tried to discover what she had done.It seemed that she hadfailed to marry a n

44、obleman.Instead,she had chosen a husband who was connected with trade.Of course as soon as she became Mrs.Parks,her brother considered her dead.Later on,Mr.Parks died and left her a lot of money;but that did not bring her back to life in herbrothers opinion.Hilary discovered his aunts address.Fortun

45、ately she remained faithful and honest tohim even after she fell ill.So Hilarys star shone again,and soon he moved into her houseand lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor.He had only about a sixpencein his pocket.One thing was soon clear:his aunt was seriously ill,and nothing

46、could cure her illness.Hilary was very worried.Fate had found a home for him,and was now going to throw him outof it.There was only one thing that could save him:her will.Will?she said,yes,I have made one.That was when I was a girl and had not muchmoney.I left all my money to some religious people.D

47、idnt you make another will when you were married?Hilary asked.His aunt shook her head.No,she said in a low voice,There was no need.When I finallyhad a lot of money I found I had no relations.On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law.It told himwhat he already believed.

48、When a woman is married,an earlier will loses its value.A newwill must be made.If no new will is made,the money goes to the nearest relation.Hilaryknew that he was his aunts only relation.His future was safe.After a few months had passed,Hilarys problems became serious.He badly needed money.He had e

49、xpensive tastes,and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers.They trusted him becausehis aunt was rich;but the debt was terrible.Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all.In the end theyhad a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds.Hilary was not very angry.He beganto wonder

50、 about a new problem.Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer?Was it notbetter for her to die now?While he was considering what to do,his aunt told him that shewas going to send for her lawyer.So she was going to make a new will,Hilary thought.Shemight leave all her money to someone else.Soon
