I walked to Mrs. Windsor’s house as I always did when I heard the piano. Before ringing the bell I stood against the wall and sighed (叹息) sadly. I had been taught enough to read, understand, and even write some musical pieces, but I just didn’t have a gift for it. But Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lesson for free, so I felt it my duty to try.
The door opened. Today Mrs. Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me. With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench. Then I frowned (皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match finger movements. I have to admit (承认) I played the piano without much thinking, just like a robot. I considered myself a mechanical pianist.
After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. “Jennifer, what are you hearing in the music?” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant.
“Here, let me try and you listen,” Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play.
“See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water running beside you?”
Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.” A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers. “Oh, but she falls over!” The music changed. “And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream. Quickly, her horse sees the trouble,” Pasha continued, “and races to the river’s edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him. They make it to the bank and she hugs her faithful horse and promises she will never again wear princess skirts that weigh her down. She will only wear jeans and T-shirts from now on.” Pasha finished with a big smile and then looked at me.
I was happy and advised to try another one. Pasha smiled and together we played that afternoon, finding the story in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.

We know that smartphone addiction is real, and that it can affect lives in negative ways. While some people have tried going cold turkey (快速戒掉坏习惯)or even punishing themselves for using their mobile phones, an app is made available in the UK that rewards people for staying away from their devices.
The app, called Hold, was created by Norwegians Maths Mathisen, Florian Winder, and Vinoth Vinaya while they are studying at Copenhagen's Business school to help break fellow students' attachments to their devices.
The three college students found that positive reinforcement (强化)was the best way of beating smartphone addiction. Hold allows students to collect points for staying off their devices between the hours of 7 am and 11 pm; they get 10 points for every 20 minutes.
Through partnerships with universities and businesses, points can be used for discounts on everything from cinema tickets to Amazon goods to cafe food and drink. A half price cinema ticket, for example, costs 60 points, or 2 hours away from a phone. And a £ 5 ( $6. 88 ) Amazon voucher (代金券)needs 1 ,000 points, or 33 hours off your smartphone.
Students can also use their points to buy school books and stationery (文具),which are then donated to schools partnered with children's charity Unicef.
Over 120,000 people use the app in Scandinavia, including 40 percent of higher education students in Norway, where Hold first came onto market in February 2016. It's now available to students from over 170 universities in the UK.
A 2017 University of Texas study claimed that merely placing a smartphone in someone's line of sight slowed down their productivity, response time, and reduced their grades. An earlier study from the London School of Economics found students who didn't use smartphones on school grounds saw their test scores increase 6. 4 percent.
8. The app Hold was created mainly to .
A. promote online sales of goods. B. earn discounts on goods or services .
C. find new uses of mobile phone. D. help students put down their smartphones.
9. How long should a student stay off the mobile phone to get 300 points?
A. 6 hours. B. 10 hours. C. 15 hours. D. 30 hours.
10. What is the main purpose of the text ?
A. To tell the story of Hold creation B. To present people's opinions of Hold
C. To give a brief introduction of Hold D. To attract potential customers to Hold
11. Where is the text most likely to appear ?
A. A newspaper advertisement B. A computer textbook
C. A science magazine D. An official document

Playing a musical instrument throughout your life protects your hearing in old age, a Canadian study suggests. The study, published in Psychology and Aging, carried out hearing tests on 74 adult musicians and 89 non-musicians. It found a 70-year-old musician’s hearing was as good as that of a 50-year-old who did not play.
Hearing normally declines as people age. By 60, 10-30%of people have moderate hearing loss. By 80, that goes up to as many as 60%. Problems are particularly seen in the central auditory (听觉的) processing system, which is associated with understanding speech, especially when there is background noise.
Previous studies have shown musicians have better hearing than non-players. But this research, by a team at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, looked at adults of all ages — from 18 to 91 — to see how people were affected as they aged. They carried out hearing tests on 74 amateur and professional musicians (who had played since the age of 16, were still practising and had been given formal music lessons) and 89 non-musicians (who had never played an instrument). Musicians were significantly better at picking out speech against noise.
The researchers suggest that lifelong musicianship reduces age-related changes in the brain, probably due to musicians using their auditory systems at a high level on a regular basis.
The head of biomedical research at Action on Hearing Loss, Dr. Ralph Holme, said: “While this study suggests that musicians might be more able to cope with the consequences of hearing loss, it is far better to reduce damage in the first place by using appropriate ear protection. We have always campaigned for everyone who plays a musical instrument or listens to loud music to wear hearing protection, like earplugs, which reduce the risk of damaging your hearing permanently.”
12. What can we get from the Canadian study?
A. It tested the hearing of 162 people.
B. The finding of the study wasn’t published publicly.
C. Playing a musical instrument may do good to hearing.
D. Musicians were as good at picking out speech against noise as non-musicians.
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. A person aged 80 will lose 30%hearing.
B. A person aged above 60 must have bad hearing .
C. People have fewer problems with background noise.
D. People’s hearing usually becomes worse when they get older.
14. Why don’t musicians change much in their brain as they age?
A. They like to take more exercise.
B. They use their hearing more and regularly.
C. They don’t expose themselves to background noise.
D. They pay more attention to protecting their hearing.
15. How can we deal with hearing loss according to Dr. Ralph Holme?
A. Get help from musicians. B. Listen to loud music less.
C. Protect hearing properly. D. Play a musical instrument more.

推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The app, called Hold, was created by Norwegians Maths Mathisen, Florian Winder, and Vinoth Vinaya while they are studying at Copenhagen's Business school to help break fellow students' attachments to their devices.(这款应用名为“Hold”,由挪威的马提斯顿(Maths Mathisen)、弗洛里安•温德(Florian Winder)和维诺斯•维纳亚(Vinoth Vinaya)在哥本哈根商学院(Copenhagen's Business school)学习时开发,目的是帮助同学们摆脱对设备的依赖。)”可知研发这款名为Hold的应用程序的目的是to help break fellow students' attachments to their devices(帮助学生们戒掉手机)。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Hold allows students to collect points for staying off their devices between the hours of 7 am and 11 pm; they get 10 points for every 20 minutes.(Hold允许学生在早上7点到晚上11点期间远离电子设备,以此获得积分;他们每20分钟得10分。)”可知,如果学生在早7点到晚11 点期间没有使用手机,他们就会获得积分;每20分钟可以换得10个积分。如果想换得300个积分,该学生需要远离手机10个小时。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“While some people have tried going cold turkey (快速戒掉坏习惯)or even punishing themselves for using their mobile phones, an app is made available in the UK that rewards people for staying away from their devices.(在有些人尝试过快速戒掉坏习惯甚至惩罚自己使用自己的手机的时候,此时一款在英国制造出来的应用程序用于奖励人远离他们的设备。)”结合全文内容对这款名为Hold 的应用程序,其中包括这款应用程序的研发目的、使用方法、使用效果等的介绍,可知本文的写作目的是向读者简要介绍这款名为Hold的应用程序。故选C。

Playing a musical instrument throughout your life protects your hearing in old age, a Canadian study suggests. The study, published in Psychology and Aging, carried out hearing tests on 74 adult musicians and 89 non-musicians. It found a 70-year-old musician’s hearing was as good as that of a 50-year-old who did not play.
Hearing normally declines as people age. By 60, 10-30%of people have moderate hearing loss. By 80, that goes up to as many as 60%. Problems are particularly seen in the central auditory (听觉的) processing system, which is associated with understanding speech, especially when there is background noise.
Previous studies have shown musicians have better hearing than non-players. But this research, by a team at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, looked at adults of all ages — from 18 to 91 — to see how people were affected as they aged. They carried out hearing tests on 74 amateur and professional musicians (who had played since the age of 16, were still practising and had been given formal music lessons) and 89 non-musicians (who had never played an instrument). Musicians were significantly better at picking out speech against noise.
The researchers suggest that lifelong musicianship reduces age-related changes in the brain, probably due to musicians using their auditory systems at a high level on a regular basis.
The head of biomedical research at Action on Hearing Loss, Dr. Ralph Holme, said: “While this study suggests that musicians might be more able to cope with the consequences of hearing loss, it is far better to reduce damage in the first place by using appropriate ear protection. We have always campaigned for everyone who plays a musical instrument or listens to loud music to wear hearing protection, like earplugs, which reduce the risk of damaging your hearing permanently.”
12. What can we get from the Canadian study?
A. It tested the hearing of 162 people.
B. The finding of the study wasn’t published publicly.
C. Playing a musical instrument may do good to hearing.
D. Musicians were as good at picking out speech against noise as non-musicians.
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. A person aged 80 will lose 30%hearing.
B. A person aged above 60 must have bad hearing .
C. People have fewer problems with background noise.
D. People’s hearing usually becomes worse when they get older.
14. Why don’t musicians change much in their brain as they age?
A. They like to take more exercise.
B. They use their hearing more and regularly.
C. They don’t expose themselves to background noise.
D. They pay more attention to protecting their hearing.
15. How can we deal with hearing loss according to Dr. Ralph Holme?
A. Get help from musicians. B. Listen to loud music less.
C. Protect hearing properly. D. Play a musical instrument more.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加拿大的一项研究,研究表明演奏乐器对听力有好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Playing a musical instrument throughout your life protects your hearing in old age, a Canadian study suggests.(一项加拿大研究表明,终身演奏乐器可以保护老年人的听力。)”,可知,演奏乐器可能对听力有益。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Hearing normally declines as people age.(随着人们年龄的增长,听力通常会下降。)”,可知,人们的听力通常会随着年龄的增长而变差。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The researchers suggest that lifelong musicianship reduces age-related changes in the brain, probably due to musicians using their auditory systems at a high level on a regular basis.(研究人员认为终身音乐家的身份减少了与年龄相关的脑部变化,这可能是因为音乐家长期以来一直以高水平使用他们的听觉系统。)”,可知,音乐家之所以大脑变化不大,是因为他们经常性地高强度使用听觉。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“it is far better to reduce damage in the first place by using appropriate ear protection.(首先通过使用适当的耳部保护措施来减少听力损伤的风险要好得多。)”,可知,Dr. Ralph Holme认为应该妥善保护听力以应对听力损失。故选C项。

Technology is here to stay. ___16___. However, they are often unsure on how to help children use technology responsibly and keep a balance between online and offline time. Here are some tips.
Have a device contract
Having a device usage contract allows parents and children to work through what responsible technology usage looks like in your family and ensure that everyone is aware. ___17___. Kids are more likely to make sense of the reasons you have for restriction.
___18___
Although this tip seems like common sense, it is often difficult due to the demand of work and the expectation of being constantly connected. By ensuring you build offline time into your own day and communicate that with your children, they will see the value and benefits. Whether you are reading a book or just taking a walk, letting your children be aware of your offline actions will encourage them to do the same!
Encourage non-tech activities
One great way to keep kids off their screens is to ensure that they have other activities to fill their time. ___19___. These activities are also great ways to help children to develop their social skills and confidence.
Tech-free family time
Once a week, pencil-in a “tech-free family time” in your schedule. It can be a meal or trip. To help increase the success of outings, try designing special activities, i. e., going to the beach to build a sand castle that looks the same as a photo you have found online. ___20___
A Model good technology use
B. Communicate with children
C. A little extra planning goes a long way
D. The contract is helpful to the settlement of conflicts
E. Parents are seeing more technology in their homes and jobs
F. Also, drafting the contract together promotes understanding
G. This can come in a variety of forms: soccer, fencing and more

【18题详解】
下文中的“By ensuring you build offline time into your own day and communicate that with your children, they will see the value and benefits. Whether you are reading a book or just taking a walk, letting your children be aware of your offline actions will encourage them to do the same!(通过确保你将离线时间融入自己的一天,并与你的孩子沟通,他们将看到其价值和好处。无论你是在看书还是只是散步,让你的孩子知道你的离线行为都会鼓励他们也这么做!)”可知,本段是在说父母给孩子展示技术在工作和生活中的应用。A选项“Model good technology use(示范良好的技术使用)”能概括本段,作为小标题。故选A项。
