2、en studying a group of up to 120 bottle-nose dolphins in the River Shannon using vocalizations(发声)collected on a computer in a cow shed near the River Shannon.As part of a research project, student Ronan Hickey digitized and analyzed a total of 1, 882 whistles from the Irish dolphins and those from
3、the Welsh dolphins on a computer and separated them into six fundamental whistle types and 32 different categories. Of the categories, he found most were used by both sets of dolphinsbut eight were only heard from the Irish dolphins.“We are building up a catalogue of the different whistle types they
4、 use and trying to associate them with behavior like foraging(觅食), resting, socializing and the communications of groups with carves(幼仔), “ project leader Simon Berrow said. “Essentially we are building up what is like a dictionary of words they use or sounds they make. “Berrow, a marine biologist,
5、said the dolphins clicks are used to find their way around and locate prey. The whistles are communications. “They do a whole range of other sounds like barks, groans and a kind of gunshot, “ he said. “The gunshot is an intense pulse(脉冲)of sound. Sperm whales use it to stun(击昏)their prey. “ When I f
6、irst heard it I was surprised as I thought sperm whales were the only species who used it. We can speculate the dolphins are using it for the same reason as the sperm whales, “ Berrow said.References in local legend indicate there have been dolphins in the Shannon estuary for generations and they ma

From the very beginning, music
12、 was regarded as an indispensable accompaniment(伴奏); when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes. At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an a
13、ccompaniment of any kind was sufficient. Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemn film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces to the mood of the film.As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinis
14、t, and perhaps a cellist, would be added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras(管弦乐队)were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often th
15、e principal qualification for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown(if indeed, the conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the
16、musical arrangement was normally improvised(临时准备 )in the greatest hurry.To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing(发行)with their films such indications of
17、mood as “pleasant“ , “sad“ , “lively“. The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next.Certain films had music especially composed for t
18、hem. The most famous of these early special scores(乐谱)was that composed and arranged for D. W. Griffith s film Birth of a Nation, which was released in 1915.11 What can be inferred from the passage about the majority of films made after 1927?（A）They were truly “silent“.（B） They were accompanied by s
19、ymphonic orchestras.（C） They incorporated the sound of the actors voices.（D）They corresponded to specific musical compositions.12 Who did the most in the development of movie music?（A）Conductors.（B） Pianists.（C） D.W. Griffith.（D）Film companies.13 It can be inferred from the passage that _.（A）there w
20、ere no movie music composers at the very beginning（B） the Edison Company had its own orchestras（C） movie music is a kind of music with a history of one hundred years（D）conductors paid much attention to the mood of a film14 The underlined word “incongruity“ in Paragraph 1 most probably means “_“.（A）b
21、eing different（B） being inharmonious（C） being dull（D）being unwise15 In the writer s opinion , _.（A）the skill at playing music is more important than the taste in the mood of a film（B） the taste in the mood of a film should be basically important（C） a pianist is more important than a violinist when a
22、ccompanying（D）a conductor is more important than a pianist when accompanying三、概括段落大意和补全句子15 Successful Language Learners(1)Some people seem to have a knack for(习惯)learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than ot
23、hers. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.(2)First of all, success
24、ful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and f
25、orm their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes.(3)Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language an
26、d they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexac
27、t or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.(4)Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is
28、 necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.(5)What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have proba
29、bly been learning independently, actively, and purposefully.

33、ickey 和 2，000 作为线索查找原文，找到相关句“studentRonan Hickey digitized and analyzed a total of 1，882 whistles from the Irish dolphins”，题干句提到的是 “近 2000 种不同的方言”，而原文中则是“近 2000 种不同的海豚发出的口哨声”，不是方言。所以，本题选 B。3 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 利用题干句的特征词 32 categories 和 eight 作为线索，找到相关句“32 differentcategoriesOf the categories ，he found m
34、ost were used by both sets of dolphins-but eight were onlyheard from the Irish dolphins”原句与题干句句意一致，所以选 A。4 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 利用题干句的特征词 communicate、adult 和 baby 为线索，找到相关句“of the different whistle typesto associate them with behavior likeand the communications of groups with calves”。是说科学家正在设法将哨声与海豚的行为联系起
35、来，如成年海豚用它来与小海豚进行沟通。题干句的意思与原文的意思相符，所以答案是 A。5 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 利用题干句的特征词 Simon Berrow 和 dictionary 为线索，找到相关句“Simon Berrowsaidwe are building up what is like a dictionary of words they use or sounds they make”，与题干句完全吻合，所以选 A。6 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 利用题干句的特征词 whistles 作为线索，找到与此句相关的原文“The whistles arecommunicatio
36、nsThey do a whole range of other sounds like”由此可见，哨声并不是海豚会发出的唯一一种声音，因此选 B。7 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 利用题干句的特征词 Sperm whales 和 ultrasonic waves 为线索，查找原文，只找到“The gunshot is an intense pulse of soundSperm whales use it to stun their prey”题干句是说“鲸鱼能发出比海豚更强烈的超声波去杀死猎物”，而原文中只提到“鲸鱼用强脉冲来击昏猎物”，题干句表达的内容在原文中找不到，故答案为 C。8 【
37、正确答案】 B【试题解析】 利用题干句的特征词 pulse sound 为线索，查找原文，找到 “The gunshot is an intensepulse of soundSperm whales use it to stun their prey”。但是下文又提到“We can speculate thedolphins are using it for the same reason”，说明海豚也会用，所以题干句的内容不正确。9 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 利用特征词“6th century”为线索，在原文中可以找到相关信息在倒数第二段，意为“早在公元 6 世纪，海豚就在香农河河口繁
38、衍生息”，而不是“被渔民养殖”，所以答案是 B。10 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 利用特征词 25，000 为线索，查找原文，找到“an estimated 25，000 tourists everyyear take special sightseeing tours on local boats to visit them”；还需要确定该句中的 they 是否指代 Irish dolphins，借助前句内容知道they 指代 Shannon 河口的海豚，文章开始提到过 RiverShannon 是爱尔兰的河流，所以答案是 A。二、阅读选择11 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 推理判断题。第
39、一段最后一句说“film pianists began to take some care in matchingtheir pieces to the mood of the film”，因此可以推断出那时电影开始和配乐对应起来。A 说的是 1927 年之前的电影， B 和 C 没有提及。12 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 事实细节题。答案在第三段，电影公司对电影音乐的发展功不可没，因此选 D。13 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 推理判断题。B 没有提及；C 错误，应该是不足一百年； D 错误，第二段说指挥家一般都是临时上阵，根本来不及提前看到影片，因此也可排除。14 【正确答案】 B【试题
40、解析】 词义理解题。根据后半句，电影钢琴家开始把电影所表达的情感和他们的音乐结合起来，由此可推出此前配乐并不协调，因此选择 B。15 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 主旨大意题。通读全文可以看出，本文主要讲述电影音乐的发展史，并没有着重讲述哪种乐器更适合配乐。因此通过排除法，可选定答案为 B。三、概括段落大意和补全句子16 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 提取段落大意的时候，主要快速地看首句的提示和末句的小结论，以下同此。因此，从本段的末句“Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners，we maydis
41、cover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them ”可以看出，本段是从总体上来说：成功的语言学习者有一系列的技巧。17 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本段分述了成功的语言学习的第一个特点：First of all，successful language learnersare independent learners18 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本段分述成功的语言学习的第二个特点：Successful language learning is active learning19 【正确答案
