The New York Times has reported on a problem that many of us have but are not aware of— In

ternet addiction. According to reporter Tara Parker-Pope, millions of us are addicted to being online. She says this is a growing problem that is making us more forgetful and impatient. Ms. Parker-Pope writes about various reports highlighting how technology is changing people. In one, she quotes cyber-psychologist Dr. Elias Aboujaode who says: "More and more, life is resembling the chat room. " He said we are living in "virtual lifestyles" which are negatively affecting our real-life relationships. Nicki Dowing, a clinical psychologist from Melbourne University in Australia, concluded in a recent study that 10 percent of young people had what she called " Internet dependence. " Tara Parker-Pope quizzed experts in this field on what the signs are of being overly absorbed in technology. She came up with seven indicators of "tech overload". The first is whether you check your e-mail before doing other things. Another telltale sign is if you always anticipate and look forward to your next online visit a sure sign of dependence and addiction. The third point is if you say, "just a few more minutes" when someone wants you. Parker-Pope found your interaction with others also says a lot about how important the Internet is, compared with your family and friends. Do you lie about how much time you spend online or choose to surf the Net instead of going out with others？ Other giveaways include the "online lift" that stops you being unhappy, and when others complain about you always being online.

Which of the following can be the title of this passage？

A．Internet Addiction—A Growing Problem

B．Virtual Lifestyles in Chat Rooms

C．Indicators of Internet Dependence

D．Importance of the Internet

第2题

It happened in the late fall of 1939 when, after a Nazi submarine had penetrated the Briti

sh sea defense around the Firth of Forth and damaged a British cruiser, Reston and a colleague contrived to get the news past British censorship. They cabled a series of seemingly harmless sentences to The Times's editors in New York, having first sent a message instructing the editors to regard only the last word of each sentence. Thus they were able to convey enough words to spell out the story. The fact that the news of the submarine attack was printed in New York before it had appeared in the British press sparked a big controversy that led to an investigation by Scotland Yard and British Military Intelligence. But it took the investigators eight weeks to decipher The Times's reporters' code, an embarrassingly slow bit of detective work, and when it was finally solved the incident had given the story very prominent play, later expressed dismay that the reporters had risked so much for so little. And the incident left Reston deeply distressed. It was so out of character for him to have. become involved in such a thing. The tactics were questionable and, though the United States was not yet in the war, Britain was already established as America's close ally and breaking British censorship seemed both an irresponsible and unpatriotic thing to do.

The episode recounted in the passage took place ______.

A．just prior to the outbreak of the Second World War

B．bofore Britain entered the Second World War

C．before the United States entered the Second World War

D．while the United States was in the Second World War

第4题

One of the key challenges in urban architecture over the next 50 years will be figuring ou

t how to squeeze vast numbers of additional people into urban areas that are already extremely crowded. London, for example, will somehow have to deal with a projected 100,000 extra inhabitants every year until 2016. The current plan of building a new “satellite towns” of the city causes a lot of problems---but architecture think tanks are working on ambitious solutions that go vertical instead of horizontal in search of space.

In terms of population density, London is one of the least crowded major cities in the world---four times fewer people per square kilometer than Paris, for example, six times fewer than New York and eight times fewer than Cairo. But the fact remains that the city’s population is growing at a rapid rate, and horizontal expansion into the surrounding areas is eating up increasingly important agricultural land, as well as worsening all the transport problems that come with urban growth.

Popular Architecture would propose a radically different solution. The proposal is to go upwards, with vertical towers of considerable size, each representing an entire new town, by the time it’s completed. Each tower would be 1500 meters high. Beyond mere accommodation, each tower would function as an entire town unit, with its own schools, hospitals, parks and gardens, sports faculties, business areas and community spaces. The population density of such a tower could help lower the individual energy requirements of each inhabitant, reducing the ecological impact of the population as a whole.

The village towers are considered as hollow tubes, with large holes to allow light and air though the entire construction. Occasional floor discs spread throughout the height of the building will give inhabitants large central areas in the middle of the tube to use as gathering spaces.

While the building itself is unlikely ever to be seriously considered for construction---imagine the number of elevators it would need, let alone the safety implications of open areas at such heights and with such wind exposure---the concept can serve as conversation-starter for urban planners looking to face the challenges of the current and coming countries.

One key challenging task for urban architects in the future is to ______.

A.build new satellite towns

B.work out ambitious plans

C.design less crowded cities

D.accommodate more inhabitants

Which of the following cities has the largest population density？

A.Cairo.

B.Paris.

C.London.

D.New York.

Horizontal expansion not only wastes land, but makes it hard for London to ______.

A.handle its safety problems

B.resolve its transport issues

C.control its population growth

D.measure its population density

The vertical tower would represent an entire new town in itself because______.

A.it is energy-saving

B.it is cost-effective

C.it is self-sufficient

D.it is comfort-oriented

For city planners today, the idea of building a vertical tower can become______.A.a topic for fun

B.a shocking reality

C.a modest proposal

D.a source of inspiration

第5题

The decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director

has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment in 2009. For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. "Hooray! At last'" wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic.

One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert's appointment in the Times, calls him "an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him. " As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.

For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one. To be sure, he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music. All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or boot up my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes.

Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20' century. There recordings are cheap, a-vailable everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today's live performances; moreover , they can be " consumed" at a time and place of the listener's choosing. The widespread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.

One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilbert's own interest in new music has been widely noted; Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into " a markedly different, more vibrant organization. " But what will be the nature of that difference？ Merely expanding the orchestra's repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America's oldest orchestra and the new audience it hopes to attract.

回答题Text 3

Commercial classical music radio in North America has changed dramatically over the past decade. The number of stations has shnmk very rapidly——many operators dropped the format in favor of something more profitable， like pop or rock， with their crazy youthful audience. But the availability of satellite radio， Interact streaming and digital technologies has introduced new options for classical fans.

In the city of Toronto， a familiar media player entered the tray last year: Moses Znaimer， 65， the famous brave television pioneer who was the driving force behind Toronto" s CITY-TV. Eleven months ago， he took ownership of Classical 96.3 FM， Canada" s first and largest commercial clas- sical station， which "re-launched" this month with some new on-air hosts， a totally new schedule， and more attention to singing art and less to full-length symphonies.

The popular station airs selections （usually no more than 10 to 15 minutes long） of greatest- hits classical works， 24 hours a day. This usually means single movements of larger works and oth- er pieces， with commercial ads in between. The station may never be the preferred destination of highbrow classical fans， who seek full-length symphonies and operas. But this doesn" t seem to trouble Znaimer， who says of his main competitor， CBC Radio Two: "They play classical， and they do it well when they do it， but they don" t do it all the time， and they" re doing it less and less. "

Marilyn Gilbert， a Toronto artist manager， also makes a comparison to Canada" s national broadcaster when she praises Znaimer" s station: "Classical 96.3 FM is very important for the com- munity and the country， especially in view of the changes that are going on at CBC."

Znaimer is best-known for his influential work in television， but he was also one of the crea- tors of Cross Country Checkup， the longest-running show on CBC Radio. Today he calls Classical 96.3 FM "arguably the most successful of all classical music stations on the continent. At about 800，000 listeners per week， we are larger even than the New York Times classical station E WQXR- FM]." And under his excellent and creative leadership， the sound of the station has become livelier.

Many operators have dropped commercial classical radio in order to_______ 查看材料A.make more profits

B.promote pop music

C.use new technology

D.attract classical fans

From the text we learn that Moses Znaimer wanted to_______ 查看材料A.consolidate his position at Classical 96.3 FM

B.acquaint classical fans with some new radio stations

C.help expand Toronto" s CCTY-TV into a bigger business

D.make Classical 96.3 FM more satisfying to classical fans

It can be inferred that Classical 96.3 FM makes money by_______ 查看材料A.attracting and broadcasting commercials

B.showing carefully selected programs

C.competing with CBC Radio Two

D.pleasing highbrow classical fang

Marilyn Gilbert believes Classical 96.3 FM_______ 查看材料A.encourages people to learn classical music

B.introduces a new idea to broadcasting reform

C.matters a lot to the community and the country

D.causes CBC to change its way of program arrangement

The success of Classical 96.3 FM lies in the fact that______ 查看材料A.it has reformed its traditional program style

B.it is more diverse than WQXR-FM in New York

C.it has attracted audiences of different age groups

D.it is the biggest broadcasting station on the continent

第11题

Americans are far more sophisticated about beverages than they were 20 years ago. Witness

the Starbucks revolution and you'll know where the trend goes. Now, spurred on by recent studied suggesting that it can cut the risk of cancer and heart disease and retard the aging process, tea is enjoying a similar jolt. Enough chic tea salons are springing up to make even diehard coffee drinkers consider switching beverages.

Tea is available in more places than ever. "Tea was one of the most prolific beverage categories in 1999," with 24 percent more products offered over the previous year, reports Tom Vierhile of Marketing Intelligence Service, which tracks food and beverage trends. And the Tea Association of the United States reports that from 1990 to 1999, annual sales of the drink grew to $ 4.6 billion from $1.8 billion. "Green tea is seen by consumers as a 'functional food' delivering health benefits beyond sustenance," says Vierhile.

Recently published studies point out that not all brews are created equal. Only teas that come from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis — which, in their raw state are brewed to make green tea, and, with curing, can be turned into oolong and black tea leaves — have been shown to contain health benefits. Other herbal teas and infusions may taste good, yet they do little more than warm up the drinker. But for Camellia sinensis, the evidence is powerful. In a 1998 study, Harvard University researchers found that drinking one cup of black tea a day lowered the risk of heart attack by as much as 44 percent compared with non-tea drinkers, and other studies have suggested that the antioxidants in these so-called real teas can also prevent cancer.

One such antioxidant in green tea is ECGC, a compound 20 times as powerful as vitamin E and 200 times as powerful as vitamin C. "When people ask me for something good and cheep they can do to reduce their cancer risk, I tell them drink real tea." Says Mitchell Gaynor, director of medical oncology at New York City's Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Centre.

Among those inspired to become a green-tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga. A new York Writer who took it up after consulting a nutritionist six years ago. "I've never been a coffee drinker." says Ghilaga, 33, "she told me to start drinking green tea for the antioxidant properties." Now Ghilaga and her husband routinely brew tea they order theirs from Inpursuitoftea.com, an internet tea company, which sells a variety of ready-made and raw teas. http://www. alitea.com/ — along with green, black, and oolong tea, this company sells a wide variety of herbal teas and offers a "Tea of the Month" club. http://www. Teasofgreen.com/ — this site sells higher-end green, black and oolong teas and has good tips on proper storage and preparation of tea. http://www. tea.com/ — tea drinkers can find links to sites offering tea lore, such as articles about tea ceremonies in foreign lands. An exhaustive "frequently asked question" file found out the site.

What do recent studies reveal about tea drinking？

A．Many tea houses have sprung up to meet the market demands.

B．Drinking tea can cut the risk of lung cancer in particular.

C．Tea is rather a magical drinking material to slow down the aging process.

D．Many die-hard coffee brewers have developed strong sentiments towards tea.
