Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him. Not surprisingly, Willard didn’t like school. Usually, his mind drifted — to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family’s garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them — small and insignificant. Thus, when he noticed some ants trying to build a house, he decided to help them! Willard constructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. When they did, Willard built more houses. At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and create tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart. At age nine, Willard began carving faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world. Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence. Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about chasing and achieving your dreams.” Willard Wigan, a microsculptor, has done just that. The man who felt small as a boy has shown the world that something small can really be big. 1. Which of the following best describes Willard’s teacher? A. Unsympathetic. B. Unhelpful. C. Impatient. D. Careless. 2. Why did Willard become interested in building homes for ants? A. Because he had a love for little things. B. Because he was absent-minded in class. C. Because he wouldn’t have to struggle at school. D. Because he thought they both seemed unimportant. 3. What can we infer from the text? A. Willard gave up his study in school to pursue his dream. B. Willard became popular when more people appreciated his work. C. Willard was able to carve small artwork in a short period of time. D. Willard found a way to make better artwork when he was at school. 4. Which of the following may Willard agree with? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Success belongs to those who don’t give up. C. Dreaming big is the first step in achieving your goals. D. Talent is sometimes more important for success than hard work. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. D 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Willard Wigan自幼患有阅读障碍症。他爱上了创造微小的事物，比如给蚂蚁建一座“精装修”的房子。在妈妈的鼓励下，Willard努力成为一名微雕艺术家。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him.(不幸的是，他的老师对阅读障碍一无所知，这是一种会使字母和数字混淆的学习障碍。她没有试图帮助他)”可知，Willard的老师帮不上他忙，可以用unhelpful来描述。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them — small and insignificant.(Willard对那些蚂蚁特别好奇。他觉得自己和它们一样——渺小而微不足道)”可知，Willard对给蚂蚁建房子感兴趣是因为他觉得他和蚂蚁一样，都不重要。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and create tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.(在学校里，威拉德仍然很挣扎，但现在他知道他可以做一些特别的事情。也许他根本就不是个失败者。如果威拉德在阅读或数学方面有困难，他就会回家为蚂蚁屋制作小家具。他甚至建了一个蚂蚁学校，里面有小秋千、梯子、跷跷板和旋转木马。他的艺术技巧提高了，对小事物的热爱开始在他心中滋长)”可推知，Willard在上学的时候发现了一种制作更好艺术品的方法。故选D。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.”(但他说：“成功不是物质上的东西，比如一块昂贵的手表或一枚昂贵的戒指；这是关于坚持和实现你的梦想。”)”可推知，Willard可能会同意的说法是成功属于那些不放弃的人。故选B。 B China launched a Long March 3B carrier rocket on May 17 to transport a satellite into space for the country’s Beidou Navigation Satellite System, marking the first deployment (部署) of a Beidou satellite in three years. The satellite has typical functions for a third-generation Beidou satellite — positioning, navigation and timing. Compared with previous Beidou satellites, it has some upgraded hardware and features a stronger signal, faster transmission speed and higher operational stability, said Chen Zhonggui, chief designer of Beidou’s third-generation satellites. Despite being called a backup the satellite is designed to start working as soon as it enters orbit. Its primary tasks are to expand the service areas of Beidou’s short-messaging function, enhance Beidou’s positioning accuracy as well as improve the network’s operational continuity and reliability, he noted. “Before the end of this year, another two backup Beidou satellites are scheduled to be launched to further strengthen the reliability of the network,” said Wang Dong, deputy project manager of the third-generation Beidou network. Beidou is currently China’s largest civilian satellite system and one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. Since 2000, a total of 60 Beidou satellites, including the first four experimental ones, have been lifted on 45 Long March 3 series rockets from Xichang. In June 2020, the final satellite to complete Beidou’s third-generation network was lifted by a Long March 3B rocket at the Xichangcenter. The following month, President Xi Jinping announced that the system had been completed and had begun providing full-scale global services. Currently, there are 46 satellites in active service, including the latest one. And China plans to establish the next generation of the Beidou system by 2035. The new version will be “omnipresent (无处不在的), smarter and more integrated” and upon its completion, there will be Beidou service not only on land and sea, but also in the sky, outer space and deep within the oceans, according to the China Satellite Navigation Office. 5. Which is not the function of the latest Beidou satellite? A. To strengthen the reliability of the network. B. To carry other backup satellite to the system. C. To increase short-messaging service capacity. D. To promote high-precision positioning service. 6. According to the text, Beidou Navigation Satellite System . A. will be replaced by another system by 2035 B. is the world’s largest civilian satellite system C. has provided full-scale service since July 2020 D. has 46 satellites in active service except the latest one 7. What is the best title for the text? A. First deployment of Beidou satellite B. Establishing Beidou servicein the sky C. Latest launch grows network for navigation D. A backup satellite to be launched for network 8. In which section of a newspaper will you most likely to find this passage? A. Society. B. Innovation. C. Military. D. Economy. 【答案】5. B 6. C 7. A 8. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了中国于5月17日发射了一颗北斗导航卫星，标志着北斗导航卫星系统三年来的首次部署。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Despite being called a backup, the satellite is designed to start working as soon as it enters orbit. Its primary tasks are to expand the service areas of Beidou’s short-messaging function, enhance Beidou’s positioning accuracy as well as improve the network’s operational continuity and reliability, he noted.(尽管被称为备用卫星，但该卫星被设计为在进入轨道后立即开始工作。他指出，其主要任务是扩大北斗短消息功能的服务范围，提高北斗的定位精度，并提高网络的运行连续性和可靠性。)”可知，最新的北斗卫星的功能不包括携带其他备用卫星到系统中，故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段中“In June 2020, the final satellite to complete Beidou’s third-generation network was lifted by a Long March 3B rocket at the Xichang center. The following month, President Xi Jinping announced that the system had been completed and had begun providing full-scale global services. (2020年6月，完成北斗第三代网络的最后一颗卫星在西昌中心由长征三号乙火箭升空。次月，习近平总书记宣布该系统已经完成，并开始提供全面的全球服务。)”可知自2020年7月以来，北斗导航卫星系统已提供全面服务。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“China launched a Long March 3B carrier rocket on May 17 to transport a satellite into space for the country’s Beidou Navigation Satellite System, marking the first deployment(部署)of a Beidou satellite in three years. (中国于5月17日发射了长征三号乙运载火箭，为北斗卫星导航系统将一颗卫星送入太空，标志着北斗卫星三年来首次部署。)”可知文章主要介绍了中国于5月17日发射了一颗北斗导航卫星，标志着北斗卫星系统三年来的首次部署，所以，用A项“First deployment of Beidou satellite”作为文章的标题与文章主题相符合。故选A项。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Currently, there are 46 satellites in active service, including the latest one. And China plans to establish the next generation of the Beidou system by 2035. The new version will be “omnipresent(无处不在的), smarter and more integrated” and upon its completion, there will be Beidou service not only on land and sea, but also in the sky, outer space and deep within the oceans, according to the China Satellite Navigation Office.(目前，有46颗卫星在役，包括最新的一颗。中国计划到2035年建立下一代北斗系统。据中国卫星导航办公室称，新版本将“无处不在，更智能，更集成”，建成后，北斗服务不仅在陆地和海上，而且在天空，外太空和海洋深处)”可知，这篇文章很可能出现在报纸的社会版块中，故选A项。 C Silent reading is far from silent in your brain. Deep within your head there is a voice reading aloud each word as your eyes pass over it. Let’s do a seemingly unrelated experiment first. Turn on your television and radio. Try to understand both the words from the television and the radio simultaneously. You might have noticed understanding one source required ignoring the other, and you could feel your attention shifting between the two voices. Although we can listen to multiple people speaking at the same time, we can only truly understand one person speaking at a time. There are three major areas that allow you to understand spoken word. The first is the Auditory Cortex (听觉皮层), which processes the pure characteristics of incoming sounds. Both sides of your brain contain this region. The next area is the Broca/Wernicke (B/W) network, which makes sense of the spoken word. This network exists in only one side of your brain. This means that, although the sounds of language are initially processed in both sides of the brain, spoken word must eventually be funneled (流经漏斗) into this single network. This quickly leads to a bottleneck, which is controlled by the third area: the left Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG, 额下回). When you try to understand two people speaking at the same time, this region effectively blocks one voice while it allows the other to pass through the B/W bottleneck. Any information that does not immediately make it through the B/W network disappears completely — there is no waitlist. Now, let’s bring all the pieces together to see why it’s related to your silent reading. When you read, the first region to demonstrate activation is the Visual Cortex, which processes the pure visual characteristics of incoming sights. Immediately after the visual cortex activates, the speech areas of the brain fire up because your brain processes your silent reading in a manner almost identical to the way in which it processes an actual, out-loud speaking voice. For this reason, attempting to read while listening to someone speak is the same as trying to understand two people speaking at the same time—it can’t be done! 9. What does the underlined word “simultaneously” in paragraph 2 mean? A. At the same time. B. One at a time. C. On the whole. D. Through comparison. 10. Which of the following best illustrates paragraph 3? Note: disappear; wait A. B. C. D. 11. What may the author agree with? A. Professors give a speech with a text-heavy PowerPoint slide. B. Teachers keep silent when students are reading attentively. C. Students solve math problem when following a lecture. D. Students practice listening skills while reading novels. 12. Which of the following sentences can best serve as an introduction to the text? A. The art of conversation lies in listening. B. What is reading, but a silent conversation. C. We hear and understand only what we already know half. D. Once an idea gets into your head, it’s probably going to stay there. 【答案】9. A 10. A 11. B 12. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍理解口语的过程和默读时大脑的活动，表明阅读其实是无声的对话，一边听别人说话一边阅读就像同时理解两个声音来源，是无法实现的。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“You might have noticed understanding one source required ignoring the other, and you could feel your attention shifting between the two voices. Although we can listen to multiple people speaking at the same time, we can only truly understand one person speaking at a time. (你可能已经注意到，理解一种声音需要忽略另一种声音，你可以感觉到你的注意力在两种声音之间转移。虽然我们可以同时听很多人说话，但我们一次只能真正理解一个人说话。)”可知，人的注意力只能专注于一个声音，同时理解多个人说话时不可能的，因此画线词所在句是指“试着同时理解电视和收音机里的单词”，画线词意为“同时地”。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The first is the Auditory Cortex (听觉皮层), which processes the pure characteristics of incoming sounds. Both sides of your brain contain this region. The next area is the Broca/Wernicke (B/W) network, which makes sense of the spoken word. This network exists in only one side of your brain. This means that, although the sounds of language are initially processed in both sides of the brain, spoken word must eventually be funneled (流经漏斗) into this single network. This quickly leads to a bottleneck, which is controlled by the third area: the left Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG, 额下回). When you try to understand two people speaking at the same time, this region effectively blocks one voice while it allows the other to pass through the B/W bottleneck. Any information that does not immediately make it through the B/W network disappears completely — there is no waitlist. (第一个是听觉皮层，它处理传入声音的纯粹特征。你的大脑两侧都包含这个区域。下一个区域是Broca/Wernicke (B/W)网络，它负责理解所说的话。这个网络只存在于你大脑的一侧。这意味着，虽然语言的声音最初是在大脑的两侧处理的，但所说的话最终必须流入这个单一的网络。这很快就会导致一个瓶颈，这个瓶颈由第三个区域控制：左侧额下回(IFG)。当你试图理解两个人同时说话时，这个区域有效地阻挡了一个声音，同时允许另一个声音通过B/W瓶颈。任何没有立即通过B/W网络的信息都将完全消失——没有等待名单。)”可知，当大脑两侧听觉皮层处理两个声音时，仅有一个声音可以经由左侧额下回控制，流入B/W网络，而另一个声音会立即消失，A项的图示符合该机制。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For this reason, attempting to read while listening to someone speak is the same as trying to understand two people speaking at the same time—it can’t be done! (因此，一边听别人说话一边阅读就像同时听两个人说话一样——这是不可能做到的。)”可知，人无法同时进行阅读和听别人说话。因此，作者会同意“学生专心读书时，老师保持沉默。”的观点。故选B项。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据通读全文，尤其是第一段“Silent reading is far from silent in your brain. Deep within your head there is a voice reading aloud each word as your eyes pass over it. (默读在你的大脑中远非沉默。在你的脑海深处，有一个声音在你的目光掠过时大声朗读着每一个单词。)”可知，文章通过介绍理解口语的过程和默读时大脑的活动，表明阅读其实是无声的对话，一边听别人说话一边阅读就像同时理解两个声音来源，是无法实现的。因此，B项“什么是阅读，无声的对话。”契合文意，最适合作为文章的介绍。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 More and more people enjoy listening to music while they work, believing that music helps boost creativity. But an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that viewpoint. ____13____ To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room. ____14____ They found that background music significantly weakened the participants’ ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity. The research team also tested background noises such as those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no impact on subjects’ creativity. The tasks were simple word games. ____15____ Then, they were asked to find a single word that could be combined with the three to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sunshine, sunflower, etc). Participants completed the tasks either in a quiet room or while listening to different types of music. “We found strong evidence of damaged performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions.” says Dr. McLatchie. Dr. McLatchie with his colleagues concludes that music disturbs the verbal working memory of the brain. ____16____ Also, as far as the library background noises have seemingly no effect, the researchers believe that was the case because library noises create a “steady state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration. “____17____ Instead, they demonstrate music, regardless of its types, consistently interrupts creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads. A. And this in turn blocks creativity. B. First, all participants spoke out three words of their favorite music. C. Then again, they were tested while music was played in the background. D. Prior to the task, the participants were not exposed to the music they would listen. E. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, shine, and flower. F. To conclude, the findings challenge the popular view that music encourages creativity. G. Psychologists from several universities say their findings indicate music actually prevents creativity. 【答案】13. G 14. C 15. E 16. A 17. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，人们喜欢在有音乐的背景下工作。研究人员针对这个现象展开研究，研究表明，音乐实际上会干扰人们解决问题的创造性。 【详解】1.前文“More and more people enjoy listening to music while they work, believing that music helps boost creativity.But an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that viewpoint.(越来越多的人喜欢在工作时听音乐，相信音乐有助于提高创造力。但一项由英国和瑞典研究人员进行的国际研究正在挑战这一观点)”指出一项研究挑战了以前的观点：音乐能够提高创造性，G项“Psychologists from several universities say their findings indicate music actually prevents creativity.(几所大学的心理学家表示，他们的研究结果表明，音乐实际上会阻碍创造力)”提出这个研究的成果：音乐会阻挠人们的创造性。符合语境，故选G。 2. 前文“To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room.(为了得出结论，研究人员让参与者坐在一个安静的房间里完成旨在激发创造力的语言问题)”说研究人员要求参与实验者在安静的环境中完成指定的任务，C项“Then again, they were tested while music was played in the background.(然后，他们又在播放背景音乐的情况下接受了测试)”说他们又在有背景音乐的环境中接受测试，这与前文形成一个完整的信息链。 故选C。 3. 前文“The tasks were simple word games.(任务是简单的单词游戏)”，后文“Then, they were asked to find a single word that could be combined with the three to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sunshine, sunflower, etc). (然后，他们被要求找到一个可以与这三个单词组合成一个常见短语或单词的单词。在这种情况下，一个单词就是“太阳”(sunshine, sunflower，等等)。)”说明了一个实验的过程，E项的“given three words(给参与测试者三个单词)”与前文的“simple word games(简单的单词游戏)”以及下文的“The single word, in this case, would be “sun”(sunshine, sunflower, etc) ”组成一个完整的信息链，因此推断E项“For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, shine, and flower.(例如，参与者被告知三个单词，如dress, shine和flower)”符合语境。故选E。 4. 前文“Dr. McLatchie with his colleagues concludes that music disturbs the verbal working memory of the brain. (麦克拉奇博士和他的同事们得出结论，音乐扰乱了大脑的语言工作记忆)”指出背景音乐会“干扰”大脑的记忆，A项“And this in turn blocks creativity.(继而阻碍创造性)”与前文内容呼应。 故选A。 5. 下文“ Instead, they demonstrate music, regardless of its types, consistently interrupts creative performance in problem solving,(相反，他们证明了音乐，不管它的类型，总是打断解决问题的创造性表现)”指出音乐会打断解决问题的创造性思维。F项“To conclude, the findings challenge the popular view that music encourages creativity.(总而言之，这些发现挑战了音乐鼓励创造力的流行观点)”的关键信息“挑战了音乐有助于创造性的这个传统观念”与下文内容构成对比。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分23分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I went to an old friend’s farm in western Washington.

Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him. Not surprisingly, Willard didn’t like school. Usually, his mind drifted — to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family’s garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them — small and insignificant. Thus, when he noticed some ants trying to build a house, he decided to help them! Willard constructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. When they did, Willard built more houses. At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and create tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart. At age nine, Willard began carving faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world. Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence. Because of their beauty and rarity his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about chasing and achieving your dreams.” Willard Wigan, a microsculptor, has done just that. The man who felt small as a boy has shown the world that something small can really be big. 1. Which of the following best describes Willard’s teacher? A. Unsympathetic. B. Unhelpful. C. Impatient. D. Careless. 2. Why did Willard become interested in building homes for ants? A. Because he had a love for little things. B. Because he was absent-minded in class. C. Because he wouldn’t have to struggle at school. D. Because he thought they both seemed unimportant. 3. What can we infer from the text? A. Willard gave up his study in school to pursue his dream. B. Willard became popular when more people appreciated his work. C. Willard was able to carve small artwork in a short period of time. D. Willard found a way to make better artwork when he was at school. 4. Which of the following may Willard agree with? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Success belongs to those who don’t give up. C. Dreaming big is the first step in achieving your goals. D. Talent is sometimes more important for success than hard work. B China launched a Long March 3B carrier rocket on May 17 to transport a satellite into space for the country’s Beidou Navigation Satellite System, marking the first deployment (部署) of a Beidou satellite in three years. The satellite has typical functions for a third-generation Beidou satellite — positioning, navigation and timing. Compared with previous Beidou satellites, it has some upgraded hardware and features a stronger signal, faster transmission speed and higher operational stability, said Chen Zhonggui, chief designer of Beidou’s third-generation satellites. Despite being called a backup, the satellite is designed to start working as soon as it enters orbit. Its primary tasks are to expand the service areas of Beidou’s short-messaging function, enhance Beidou’s positioning accuracy as well as improve the network’s operational continuity and reliability, he noted. “Before the end of this year, another two backup Beidou satellites are scheduled to be launched to further strengthen the reliability of the network,” said Wang Dong, deputy project manager of the third-generation Beidou network. Beidou is currently China’s largest civilian satellite system and one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. Since 2000, a total of 60 Beidou satellites, including the first four experimental ones, have been lifted on 45 Long March 3 series rockets from Xichang. In June 2020, the final satellite to complete Beidou’s third-generation network was lifted by a Long March 3B rocket at the Xichangcenter. The following month, President Xi Jinping announced that the system had been completed and had begun providing full-scale global services. Currently, there are 46 satellites in active service, including the latest one. And China plans to establish the next generation of the Beidou system by 2035. The new version will be “omnipresent (无处不在的), smarter and more integrated” and upon its completion, there will be Beidou service not only on land and sea, but also in the sky, outer space and deep within the oceans, according to the China Satellite Navigation Office. 5. Which is not the function of the latest Beidou satellite? A. To strengthen the reliability of the network. B. To carry other backup satellite to the system. C. To increase short-messaging service capacity. D. To promote high-precision positioning service. 6. According to the text, Beidou Navigation Satellite System . A. will be replaced by another system by 2035 B. is the world’s largest civilian satellite system C. has provided full-scale service since July 2020 D. has 46 satellites in active service except the latest one 7. What is the best title for the text? A. First deployment of Beidou satellite B Establishing Beidou servicein the sky C. Latest launch grows network for navigation D. A backup satellite to be launched for network 8. In which section of a newspaper will you most likely to find this passage? A. Society. B. Innovation. C. Military. D. Economy. C Silent reading is far from silent in your brain. Deep within your head there is a voice reading aloud each word as your eyes pass over it. Let’s do a seemingly unrelated experiment first. Turn on your television and radio. Try to understand both the words from the television and the radio simultaneously. You might have noticed understanding one source required ignoring the other, and you could feel your attention shifting between the two voices. Although we can listen to multiple people speaking at the same time, we can only truly understand one person speaking at a time. There are three major areas that allow you to understand spoken word. The first is the Auditory Cortex (听觉皮层), which processes the pure characteristics of incoming sounds. Both sides of your brain contain this region. The next area is the Broca/Wernicke (B/W) network, which makes sense of the spoken word. This network exists in only one side of your brain. This means that, although the sounds of language are initially processed in both sides of the brain, spoken word must eventually be funneled (流经漏斗) into this single network. This quickly leads to a bottleneck, which is controlled by the third area: the left Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG, 额下回). When you try to understand two people speaking at the same time, this region effectively blocks one voice while it allows the other to pass through the B/W bottleneck. Any information that does not immediately make it through the B/W network disappears completely — there is no waitlist. Now, let’s bring all the pieces together to see why it’s related to your silent reading. When you read, the first region to demonstrate activation is the Visual Cortex, which processes the pure visual characteristics of incoming sights. Immediately after the visual cortex activates, the speech areas of the brain fire up because your brain processes your silent reading in a manner almost identical to the way in which it processes an actual, out-loud speaking voice. For this reason, attempting to read while listening to someone speak is the same as trying to understand two people speaking at the same time—it can’t be done! 9. What does the underlined word “simultaneously” in paragraph 2 mean? A. At the same time. B. One at a time. C. On the whole. D. Through comparison. 10 Which of the following best illustrates paragraph 3? Note: disappear; wait A. B. C. D. 11. What may the author agree with? A. Professors give a speech with a text-heavy PowerPoint slide. B. Teachers keep silent when students are reading attentively. C. Students solve math problem when following a lecture. D. Students practice listening skills while reading novels. 12. Which of the following sentences can best serve as an introduction to the text? A. The art of conversation lies in listening. B. What is reading, but a silent conversation. C. We hear and understand only what we already know half. D. Once an idea gets into your head, it’s probably going to stay there. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 More and more people enjoy listening to music while they work, believing that music helps boost creativity. But an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that viewpoint. ____13____ To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room. ____14____ They found that background music significantly weakened the participants’ ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity. The research team also tested background noises such as those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no impact on subjects’ creativity. The tasks were simple word games. ____15____ Then, they were asked to find a single word that could be combined with the three to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sunshine, sunflower, etc). Participants completed the tasks either in a quiet room or while listening to different types of music. “We found strong evidence of damaged performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions.” says Dr. McLatchie. Dr. McLatchie with his colleagues concludes that music disturbs the verbal working memory of the brain. ____16____ Also, as far as the library background noises have seemingly no effect, the researchers believe that was the case because library noises create a “steady state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration. “____17____ Instead, they demonstrate music, regardless of its types, consistently interrupts creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads. A. And this in turn blocks creativity. B. First, all participants spoke out three words of their favorite music. C. Then again, they were tested while music was played in the background. D. Prior to the task, the participants were not exposed to the music they would listen. E. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, shine, and flower. F. To conclude, the findings challenge the popular view that music encourages creativity. G. Psychologists from several universities say their findings indicate music actually prevents creativity. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分23分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I went to an old friend’s farm in western Washington.
