【題目】We are naturally drawn to friends and colleagues with familiar voices, scientists have found. People prefer those who have a similar accent, intonation and tone of voice to themselves, they discovered.

Previous research has focused on how a male or female voice sounds. Men with deeper voices and women with slightly higher voices were thought to sound more attractive, because they suggest a bigger or a smaller body.

But the new study, published by a linguistics expert in Canada, suggests there is a more complex mechanism(機制)at play. Dr Molly Babel, from the University of British Columbia in Canada, said, “The voice is an amazingly flexible tool that we use to construct our identity. Very few things in our voices are changeless, so we felt that our preferences had to be about more than a person’ s shape and size.’’

She recorded 30 volunteers’ voices and asked each to rate the others’ attractiveness on a scale of one to nine. Each participant was from western America, with similar accents. The people we assessed were all in the same dialect group, but they showed that dialect to different degrees.

“We seem to like people who sound like we sound, we like people who fit within what we know, ”Dr Babel said. She also found that breathy voices in women－typified by the famous American actress Marilyn Monroe－were seen as more attractive.

The breathy tone, caused by younger and thinner vocal cords(聲帶), implied youthfulness and health. A creaky (咯吱作響的)voice, suggesting a person has a cold, is tired or smokes, was seen as unattractive. The participants preferred men who spoke with a shorter average word length and deeper voices.

【1】The main purpose of the text is to ___________.

A. inform readers of the new findings of voices

B. compare male voices with female voices

C. argue against women’s voices of speaking

D. encourage men to use deeper voices to speak

【2】Dr. Molly Babel mentions Marilyn Monroe in order to________.

A. introduce a creaky voice B. explain a breathy voice

C. challenge previous research D. promote her reputation

【3】In terms of voice preferences, the new findings stress ________.

A. body size and shape

B. shorter word length

C. thicker vocal cords

D. the same social groups

【4】Whose voice may be unattractive according to the text?

A. A young lady with a thin voice

B. An old lady with a silvery voice

C. A deep-voiced man with a dry throat

D. A little man with a quiet and gentle voice

In the village where I grew up, everyone knew an old man, that spent all his time in painting. People that lived in the village used to admiring his works and he often gave his paintings to his friends. Whether he was offered money, he would never take it. He said he painted for a pleasure. He once gave one of his paintings to my father, who actually wasn’t interesting in art. Years later I found at our old house.

【題目】One of the most efficient ways to achieve peace and speed up economies (經(jīng)濟) is to provide girls with better education and more rights. Today, girls’ lack of access (進入) to basic education is getting more serious when it comes to the use of digital (數(shù)碼的) technology, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is even more digital, those who lack basic internet skills will find it increasingly more difficult to take part in the formal economy, to get a quality education, and to have their voices heard.

Since 2013 the global gender gap (性別差異) in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. Worse yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less likely than men and boys to have access to the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most common means of internet access there. This digital divide is increasing, and should it continue at the present pace, it is projected that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack internet access and digital skills.

There are many causes of the digital gender gap. They include girls’ exclusion (排斥) from basic education, from specific technology education and high costs of mobile phones and internet access.

Indeed, one of the so-called reasons why girls may be discouraged from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one: that girls are simply not good at using technology.

Without the help of the government, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, exacerbating gender inequality.

【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Women suffer a lot from the poor economy.

B. Digital technology is greatly beneficial to men.

C. The digital gender gap needs to be closed.

D. Girls are lacking in basic education.

【2】How is Paragraph 2 organized?

A. By giving reasons. B. By giving numbers.

C. By following time order. D. By giving examples.

【3】What is the writer’s attitude to the idea that girls are simply not good at using technology?

A. Positive. B. Negative.

C. Acceptable. D. Unconcerned.

【4】What does the underlined word “exacerbating” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. worsening B. causing

C. reducing D. improving

【題目】If you love adventure and excitement, then Erin Hunter's best－selling Warriors series is for you. The fantasy books follow four cat clans(家族) as they try to survive in the wilderness. In the latest book, Thunder Clan warrior Ashfur has been mysteriously murdered. This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf, Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer.

The three friends must deal with other problems, too. Jay feather is searching for his parents, but he must make up many lies to find them. Holly leaf encounters her own obstacles when her clan refuses to follow the warrior code. And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets. All the while, the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever.

“Erin Hunter” is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry. They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Redwall, a very successful book written by Brian Jacques. It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice. Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket,_they wanted their books to go onto the bookshelves next to his. So they needed a name that would be close to Jacques alphabetically(按字母排序地). Hunter fits perfectly.

“My favorite character is Jay feather. You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not. He's got a quite dark side. In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend, that would be Cinderpelt. She is so cool. She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat. Even if she wanted to be a warrior, she will make the best of her destiny. I really admire that in her，” said Victoria Holmes.

【1】The three warrior cats go on a journey mainly to ________.

A. survive in the wilderness

B. protect another warrior from disappearing

C. find the killer that murdered Ashfur

D. look for some adventure and excitement

【2】From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A. Jay feather likes to tell lies and is unreliable

B. the warrior code of Holly leaf's clan is terrible

C. the journey is not easy for the three cats

D. there are lots of unbelievable secrets among the clans

【3】The underlined word“bracket” in the third paragraph most probably means “________”．

A. range B. level

C. angle D. species

【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned about Cinderpelt?

A. She has a sense of humor.

B. She is on the side of the angels.

C. She makes the best of her destiny.

D. She is a good medicine cat.
