【題目】The benefits of listening to music

Whether you like Beethoven or Mozart,there is one thing I think we can all agree on:music makes life better.

1

Listening to music can reduce stress(壓力)

A lot of us may turn to relaxing music when we are feeling stressed or tired.A recent research shows that slow,quiet classical music is suggested to have the most exciting effect.2 Or listening to a relaxing,classical-style movie soundtrack can also help you reduce stress.

Listening to music can improve your memory(記憶力)

The interesting part about the research is that it shows music helps your brain develop in many areas,one of the most important being your memory.3

Do you work out?Have you always felt like you perform better when you listen to music?Strange as it might seem,there has actually been a lot of research done on this subject.And sure enough,one study shows that music can increase endurance(耐力)by 15%.5However,another study suggests that it's not the type of music,but rather the speed of the music—the beats per minute—that matter.

A.Listening to music can make you healthier.

B.Listening to music can improve endurance.

C.The followings are some benefits of listening to music for us humans.

D.So if you have a hard time dealing with stress,listening to some classical songs could be a good idea.

F.One of my biggest regrets these days is that I never actually tried to learn to play the piano properly.

【題目】You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But, rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤離) of an island nation — the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.

During the 20th century, sea level has risen 8~12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water.

Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.

Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their green house gas emissions (排放), which are a main cause of global warming.“By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.

Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.

Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影響的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311 000 an“endangered nation”.

1The text is mainly about___________.

A. rapid changes in earth’s temperature?

B. bad effects of global warming

C. moving of a country to a new place

D. reasons for lowland flooding

2According to scientists, the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is __________.

A. greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations

B. higher surface water temperatures of the sea

C. continuous global warming

D. rising sea levels

3Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not _________.

A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions

B. sign an agreement with Tuvalu

C. allow Tuvaluans to move to the US

D. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real

4The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is _________.

A. Australia B. New Zealand

C. the Maldives D. the United States

【題目】Technology that connects computers to telephones has developed very fast in the last ten years. This is clear in the development of the fax. A traditional fax can include many documents and is simple to send. It is rather like a copier combined with a telephone. First, you insert a document into the fax machine, enter the fax number and then turn on the machine. If it connects, the sending fax machine reads the document and sends it to the receiving fax machine. At the same time, the receiving machine receives the document and then prints it.

But technology never stays still. New technology like PC fax programs and LAN fax servers (局域網(wǎng)傳真服務器)have recently been introduced to improve fax communications. The latest improvement is the IP fax which uses Internet Protocol(因特網(wǎng)協(xié)議)to send faxes.

  There are two basic ways of sending information using the IP fax system: store-and-forward or real-time. Store-and-forward ways of sending messages are widely used. In this mode, the entire document is sent to a network-based server that stores it and then sends it on to the receiving fax. Real-time IP faxing is closer to sending a fax in the traditional way. Real-time mode allows two fax machines to directly communicate and send the material more efficiently.

IP fax can send a fax document from one person to another. A fax machine or a computer can be used to send or receive the fax. IP fax also allows e-mail to be used to receive faxes. This enables users to receive faxes anywhere at anytime as long as they have an Internet fax address.

1The passage deals mainly with ________.

A. PC fax and LAN fax

B. technology of connecting computers to telephone

C. information technology

D. new machines

2The IP fax system can use all of the following to send and receive a fax except ________.

A. a fax machine B. a cellphone

C. a computer D. e-mail

3In real-time IP fax mode ________.

A. two fax machines communicate directly

B. a network-based server is used

C. users can receive faxes anywhere

D. the PSTN has to be used
