13、hout putting in any effort But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest If you want your brain to work better，you clearly have to put in hard work As for learning to play the piano，it also takes effort Surely a connection is quite reasona
14、ble Both maths and music deal with abstract structures，so if you become good at one，then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other If this is correct，it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability It would be more like the connecti

23、s 22（8 分）Although most hitchhikers(搭便车的人)are people,passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers.But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot?Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside?
24、That is the answer Canadian professors,David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller,who study the relationship between humans and technology,are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot.HitchBOT is built with cheap household items.Thanks to a PC tablet,GPS tracker and cam
25、era,hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public,but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks.The smart robot is even able to quote interesting facts about the areas it has passed through.Not surprisingly,many people are doubtful a
26、bout hitchBOTs ability.Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone.Actually,they are all wrong.The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax,Nova Scotia,to Victoria,British Columbia,a distance of 3,700 miles.It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple.It not only reached
27、 its destination on August 21st,but also had some amazing adventures along the way.It visited national parks,went fishing,went camping,and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the brides speech.In addition to helping it get to its destination,its Canadian fans
28、 have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape(披肩)to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil.1、Why is the hitchhiking robot built?ATo help passers-by reach their destinations.BTo find out how people might react to it.CTo see if it will give
29、rides to strangers.DTo entertain drivers on their way.2、The hitchBOT can do all of the following except .Atalking with the driver Bdancing with people Csending its thoughts and pictures Danswering any question raised 3、How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination?ANearly a month.BOver
30、one month.CTwo months.DOne week.4、What can we learn about the hitchBOT?AIt was ignored by an elderly couple.BIt didnt meet with any danger along the way.CIt experienced a long and amazing journey.DIt will be put into the market quickly.23（8 分）Senses That Work Together When we think about how our sen
31、ses work,we usually imagine them operating separately:you sniff a flower,and the smell is delivered uninterrupted from nose to brain.However,it s more complex than that.Most evidence for cross-modal perception(知觉)comes from studies into sound and vision(视觉).But research that shows other senses cross
32、ing over is coming out all the time,and it seems that even sound and smell sometimes form an unlikely pairing.When New York researchers,Daniel Wesson and Donald Wilson,tried to find out the truth about a“mysterious”area of the brain called the olfactory tubercle,they had to deal with this fact.Origi
33、nally,they only intended to measure how olfactory tubercle cells in mice responded to smell.But during testing,Wesson noticed that every time he put his coffee cup down,the mouse cells jumped in activity.In fact,the olfactory tubercle is well-placed to receive both smell and sound information from t
34、he outside world.Later they found that among separate cells,most responded to a smell but a significant number were also active when a sound was made.Some cells even behaved differently when smell and sound were presented together,by increasing or decreasing their activity.Of course,mice aren t peop
35、le,so research team has been carrying out further experiments.They pulled together a group of people and gave them various drinks to smell.Participants were asked to sniff the drinks,and then match them to appropriate musical instruments and produce the notes at different levels.The results were int
36、eresting:piano was regularly paired with fruity fragrances;strong smells sounded like the instruments that are made of metal.Further research found that listening to different sounds can change your perceptions.Studying taste this time,the team ordered some special toffee(太妃糖)and put together“sounds
37、capes”corresponding to bitterness and sweetness.Participants tasted similar pieces of toffee while listening to each soundscape,and found the toffee more bitter or sweeter,depending on which soundtrack they were listening to.Studies like this are helping scientists correctly describe our understandi
38、ng of the senses,and how the brain combines them with its advantage.The consequences are worth considering.Could we see musicians work together with chefs to produce sound-improved food and drink?Will you be ordering a coffee with a soundtrack to bring out your favorite smell?Come to think of it,tha
39、t could be one thing you hope coffee shop chains don t get round to.1、What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?AA lot of research focuses on the senses.BSound and vision are relatively easy to study.CThere can be a link between sound and smell.DEvidence about the way senses work is hard
40、 to obtain.2、In Wesson and Wilson s research,_.Athe mice were affected more significantly by sound Bthe result confirmed what the researchers had suspected Cthe mice seemed to be afraid of certain sounds or smells Dthe connection between sound and smell was found by chance 3、What is the main idea of
41、 Paragraph 3?AParticipants took an active part in the experiments.BThe purpose of the further experiments was totally different.CThe result failed to support what was found in previous experiments.DExperiments showed that links between sound and smell were consistent.4、How does the author feel about
42、 the effect of the research?AShe is excited about the creative chances.BShe is surprised at the recent developments.CShe is convinced that the findings will be used soon.DShe is worried about how the knowledge can be applied.24（8 分）You may have never heard of Lanthanum,Cerium or Neodymium,but these
43、elements(元素)and others known as“rare earth”play a major role in modern technology.They can actually be found in many places on the earth,but not in quantities that can be mined.Only a few countries China,America,India,Australia,Brazil and Malaysia have any that can be mined enough to be traded.Even
44、though some of these elements such as Cerium are as abundant as Copper,they are not found in concentrated amounts on the earths surface.They are often mixed together with other metals,which makes extraction(提取)of these elements an expensive and an environmentally messy process.It was due to this rea
45、son that the term“rare earth”was invented.Rare earth metals are used widely in our life.Rechargeable car batteries,computers,iPhones,DVD players,computer monitors,televisions,lighting,lasers,glass polishing,and superconductors all use quantities of rare earth metals.Also,with the advancement in“gree
46、n”technology like solar panels,these shiny materials are becoming more important than ever.An average electric car uses 10 pounds of Lanthanum for its rechargeable battery!America has large deposits(存储量)of rare earths and has one of the first mines.It was openedin Southern California in 1940.The ele
47、ment“Europium”was the first metal to be separated in quantity for use in color televisions.However,in the 1980s and 1990s,as China started producing these elements in Inner Mongolia,the mines in America and elsewhere could not keep pace.The mine in Mountain Pass,California also failed environmental
48、regulations and shut down in 2002.Now,recognizing the importance of having more than one supplier of this important resource,other rare earth owning countries like India and Australia are either dusting off their rare earth mines or speeding up their production.It is believed that the debate over ra
49、re earths will become louder in the coming months and years.1、What can we learn about rare earths?AThey are actually as abundant as Copper.BThey can be mined easily as other metals.CThey can only be found in a few countries.DThey are not really as rare as they are named.2、Compared with China,America
50、 .Apaid more attention to Europium Bhas larger deposits of rare earths Cstarted producing rare earths earlier Dhas more rare earth mines 3、It can be inferred from the text that rare earths .Aare now in great demand Bcan now be used in few fields Care harmful to the environment Dwill soon be replaced
