Take a trip back in time and discover the Britain ancestors knew. Avebury, Wiltshire This village is the proud home of the largest stone circle in Europe. Built during the New Stone Age (around 3000 BC), archaeologists think it was used to comfort the powers of nature. The nearby Avebury Manor let people know how the village developed over the centuries. Unlike others, visitors are welcome to sit on the chairs, and lie on the beds. Skara Brae, Orkney Islands Older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza, Skara Brae is unusually well-kept. So much so that it’s been described as the most remarkable prehistoric monument in all of Europe. The Neolithic village— which was first occupied around 3180 BC—is made up of eight round houses, connected by a series of small passages. The village was home to farmers, hunters and fishermen and the network of homes includes a workshop and prison. Be sure to wrap up warm against the fierce Orkney winds. Butser Ancient Farm, Hampshire Experimental archaeologist Dr Peter J Reynolds founded Butser Ancient Farm in 1970 with a special vision: to create a working ancient farm where fellow archaeologists could explore their theories on how people lived and worked during the Iron Age. Near South Downs National Park, the farm builds ancient houses based on real archaeological sites from around the country. Maiden Castle Maiden Castle is one of the largest and most complex Iron Age hill forts (要塞) in Britain. It has an area of about 450,000 square meters, and the site was home to several hundred people in the Iron Age (800 BC—AD 43). 1. What may Avebury be built for? A. Building home for most villagers. B. Becoming the largest stone circle. C. Trying to comfort nature’s power. D. Showing the development of the village. 2. Which of the following should we choose if we want to see round buildings? A. Avebury. B. Skara Brae. C. Butser Ancient Farm. D. Maiden Castle. 3. What can we know about Maiden Castle? A. It’s the world largest Iron Age hill fort B. It used to be hundreds of people’s home. C It still keeps some old iron tools. D. It looks very large and shining. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了了英国四个著名的历史古迹。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Avebury, Wiltshire部分的“archaeologists think it was used to comfort the powers of nature(考古学家认为它是用来安慰大自然的力量的)”可知，考古学家认为建Avebury是被用来安慰大自然的力量。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Skara Brae, Orkney Islands部分的“The Neolithic village— which was first occupied around 3180 BC—is made up of eight round houses, connected by a series of small passages.(这个新石器时代的村庄——大约在公元前3180年首次有人居住——由8个圆形房屋组成，由一系列的小通道连接。)”可知，Skara Brae是由八个圆形的房子组成的。所以 如果我们想看到原形的建筑，我们应该选择Skara Brae。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Maiden Castle部分的“the site was home to several hundred people 6 the Iron Age(该遗址在铁器时代曾是几百人的家园)”可知，该遗址在铁器时代是数百人的家园。故选B。 B Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal. The woman, 85-year-old Janet Fein, received her bachelor’s degree (学士学位) from the University of Texas in December, 2018. Fein has had a full life. She raised five children and then had a career as a secretary (秘书) until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology (社会学). Fein grew up in the Bronx area of New York City. In high school, she just wanted to finish and get a job. After graduating early, at the age of 16, she went to work as a secretary. After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs throughout her life, including being a secretary at a Dallas hospital. That is the job she retired from in 2011. She received an associate degree (专科学位) in 1995. But she also wanted to earn a bachelor’s degree. Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texas. She kept going to class even as her health condition worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she needed oxygen (氧气) too. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements. Renee Brown is one of Fein’s care-givers. She says Fein has also inspired her. At 53, she plans to begin nursing school to further her career. Brown says Fein told her, “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you also can do it, and you will feel so good about it.” 4. When did Janet Fein start to work? A. In 1933. B. In 1995. C. In 1949. D. In 2012. 5. What does she study for her bachelor’s degree? A. Sociology. B. Secretary. C. History. D. Health. 6. What does the underlined word “inspired” probably mean in the last paragraph? A. Shocked. B. Disappointed. C. Employed. D. Encouraged. 7. What can we learn from Janet Fein’s story? A. Practice makes perfect. B. It is never too late to learn. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了Janet Fein一生坚持不懈的学习直到85岁从德克萨斯大学获得了学士学位的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段The woman, 85-year-old Janet Fein, received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas in December, 2018.（这名女子是85岁的Janet Fein， 2018年12月从德克萨斯大学获得学士学位。）可知Janet Fein出生于1933年，且根据第四段Fein grew up in the Bronx area of New York City. In high school, she just wanted to finish and get a job. After graduating early, at the age of 16, she went to work as a secretary.（费恩在纽约市布朗克斯区长大。高中时，她只想完成学业，找份工作。16岁时，她很早就毕业了，然后去当了秘书。）可知她在16岁时开始工作，当时是1933+16=1949年。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句She decided to major in sociology.（她决定主修社会学。）可知她攻读社会学学士学位。故选A。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据下文At 53, she plans to begin nursing school to further her career.可知Renee Brown 53岁时，她计划进入护理学校继续自己的职业生涯。可知是Janet Fein鼓舞了她继续职业生涯，故可推测划线单词意思为“鼓舞；鼓励”，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段The woman, 85-year-old Janet Fein, received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas in December, 2018.（这名女子是85岁的Janet Fein， 2018年12月从德克萨斯大学获得学士学位。）以及文章记叙了Janet Fein一生坚持不懈的学习直到85岁的故事。故她的故事告诉我们“活到老，学到老”的哲理。故选B。 C Product placement (植入式广告) is a form of advertising in which a company pays a content creator to place its products on the set of a movie, TV show or music video. The oldest examples of products appearing in films date back to the production of a French motion picture in 1896. Recent years have witnessed the bloom of product placement. With viewers migrating to web videos, this trend makes sense. When watching web videos, about 90% of consumers either skip or ignore those traditional ads that run before the video. So as advertisers struggle to reach potential consumers, they’re increasingly turning to product placement, spending their advertising budgets to get their ads into media content in ways that the ads can’t be skipped. Studies have shown product placement can increase viewer’s awareness of products and their positive attitudes toward them. But not all product placement works as intended, and research has shown that advertisers need to engage in delicate dance with viewers to effectively influence them. Viewers tend to be turned off if the product placement is too obvious — as when a character in the show holds the product and talks about it. Most viewers don’t want to be immersed (沉浸) in an intense drama only to be reminded that they’re being targeted by corporations. In contrast, viewers are most influenced by product placement in which the product or the brand name is spoken by one of the characters but not shown. These pieces of product placement are more likely to be noticed by viewers than those where products are simply shown on the screen. Also, viewers may be more attracted to product placement that appears earlier in a show or movie. Because they become more engaged as a movie or a show progresses. If the placement at the climax — the moment when their attention is fixed on what will happen next — they’re either less likely to notice the placement or more likely to be annoyed by it if they do notice it. With increasing online viewers and better designed product placement, perhaps advertisers will consider product placement as their first choice. After all, it’s incredibly effective at getting the targeted audience interested without influencing their viewing experience. 8. What can we know about product placement? A. It’s still popular nowadays. B. It first appeared in TV shows. C. It was overlooked in the 1890s. D. It aims to make videos interesting. 9. What’s the advantage of product placement to advertisers over traditional ads? A. It has a lower price. B. It’s more interesting. C. It’s less likely to be ignored by viewers. D. It makes advertisers understand customers well. 10. What does the underlined part “be turned off” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Gain satisfaction. B. Get confused. C. Feel funny. D. Lose interest. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Product Placement: the Future Trend for Advertising B. Product Placement: a New Driving Force Behind Movies C. Product Placement: a Mirror of the Advertisement History D. Product Placement: the Perfect Companion to Online Videos 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。植入式广告是一种广告形式，公司向内容创造者支付费用，将其产品放在电影、电视节目或音乐视频中，随着观众转向网络视频，植入式广告已经成为了未来的一种广告趋势。 8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段倒第二句“Recent years have witnessed the bloom of product placement.”(近年来，植入式广告蓬勃发展。)可知，植入式广告现在仍然很流行。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句和第二句“When watching web videos, about 90% of consumers either skip or ignore those traditional ads that run before the video. So as advertisers struggle to reach potential consumers, they’re increasingly turning to product placement, spending their advertising budgets to get their ads into media content in ways that the ads can’t be skipped.”(在观看网络视频时，约90%的消费者要么跳过或忽略视频前播放的传统广告。因此，当广告商努力接触潜在消费者时，他们越来越多地转向植入式广告，花费广告预算将广告以不可忽略的方式纳入媒体内容。)可知，植入式广告相对于传统广告的优势是它不太可能被观众忽略。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“if the product placement is too obvious — as when a character in the show holds the product and talks about it. ”(如果植入广告太过明显——比如剧中的一个角色拿着产品谈论它。。)可知，此处是指如果植入广告太明显观众往往会失去兴趣。所以be turned off意为“失去兴趣”。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“Product placement (植入式广告) is a form of advertising in which a company pays a content creator to place its products on the set of a movie, TV show or music video.”(植入式广告是一种广告形式，公司向内容创造者支付费用，将其产品放在电影、电视节目或音乐视频中。)和最后一句“With viewers migrating to web videos, this trend makes sense.”(随着观众转向网络视频，这种趋势是有意义的。)可知，文章主要介绍了作为未来广告趋势的植入式广告。故选A。 D A new study by Japanese researchers concludes that listening to sad music may actually contribute to positive emotions. Researchers say the findings help to explain why people enjoy listening to sad music. Ai Kawakami and the colleagues from Tokyo University of the Arts and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute asked 44 volunteers, including both musicians and non-specialists, to listen to two pieces of sad music and one piece of happy music. Each participant was required to use a set of keywords to rate both his perception of the music and his own emotional state. The sad pieces of music included Glinka’s La Separation, Blumenfeld’s Etude Sur Mer and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. The happy music piece was Granados’s Allegro de Concierto or Tonci Huljic’s Croatian Rhapsody. As reported in the open access journal Frontiers in Psychology, sad music aroused contradictory emotions among the participants. “In general, sad music causes sadness in listeners, and sadness is regarded as an unpleasant emotion. If sad music actually arouses only unpleasant emotions, we would not listen to it,” the researchers wrote in the study. “Music that is regarded as a sad piece actually leads to romantic emotions as well as sad emotions. And people, regardless of their musical training, experience these contradictory emotions when listening to the sad music.” added the researchers. Also, unlike sadness in daily life, sadness experienced through art actually makes us feel pleasant, possibly because the latter does not do an actual threat to our safety. This could help people to deal with their negative emotions in daily life, concluded the authors. “Emotions experienced through music have no direct danger or harm unlike the emotions experienced in everyday life. Therefore, if we suffer from unpleasant emotions in daily life, sad music might be helpful to ease negative emotions.” they added. 12. The author in the passage wants to tell ________ . A. sad music may help us deal with negative emotions B. sad music can leave a person in a negative state C. researchers are devoted to studying music D. emotions play a vital role in our daily life 13. After listening to three pieces of music, ________ . A. the participants explained why they listened to music B. the participants described their feelings about the music C. the participants made a detailed summary of the music D. the participants got a lot of help from the happy music 14. According to the passage, to get rid of your depression, you should listen to ________ . A. Croatian Rhapsody B. Allegro de Concierto C. Moonlight Sonata D. The Blue Danube 15. While listening to the sad music, the participants ________ . A. can experience the less cheerful emotions deeply B. should keep themselves as cool as a cucumber C. can develop both kinds of emotions unconsciously D. should tell the difference between the two types of music 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了听悲伤音乐可能有助于缓解负面情绪。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study by Japanese researchers concludes that listening to sad music may actually contribute to positive emotions. Researchers say the findings help to explain why people enjoy listening to sad music. (日本研究人员的一项新研究得出结论，听悲伤的音乐实际上可能有助于产生积极的情绪。研究人员表示，这些发现有助于解释为什么人们喜欢听悲伤的音乐)”以及最后一段“Therefore, if we suffer from unpleasant emotions in daily life, sad music might be helpful to ease negative emotions. (因此，如果我们在日常生活中遭受不愉快的情绪，悲伤的音乐可能有助于缓解负面情绪)”可知，文章主要想告诉我们听悲伤的音乐可能有助于我们处理负面情绪。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Ai Kawakami and the colleagues from Tokyo University of the Arts and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute asked 44 volunteers, including both musicians and non-specialists, to listen to two pieces of sad music and one piece of happy music. Each participant was required to use a set of keywords to rate both his perception of the music and his own emotional state. (Ai Kawakami和东京艺术大学以及理化学研究所脑科学研究所的同事们邀请了44名志愿者，其中包括音乐家和非专业人士，来聆听两首悲伤的音乐和一首欢快的音乐。每位参与者都被要求使用一组关键词来评价自己对音乐的感知以及自身的情绪状态)”可知，听完三首曲子后，参与者描述了他们对音乐的感受。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The sad pieces of music included Glinka’s La Separation, Blumenfeld’s Etude Sur Mer and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. (悲伤的曲子包括格林卡的《离别》、布鲁门费尔德的《海上练习曲》和贝多芬的《月光奏鸣曲》)”以及最后一段“Therefore, if we suffer from unpleasant emotions in daily life, sad music might be helpful to ease negative emotions. (因此，如果我们在日常生活中遭受不愉快的情绪，悲伤的音乐可能有助于缓解负面情绪)”可知，为了摆脱抑郁，你应该听悲伤的音乐，如《月光奏鸣曲》。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““Music that is regarded as a sad piece actually leads to romantic emotions as well as sad emotions. And people, regardless of their musical training, experience these contradictory emotions when listening to the sad music.” added the researchers. (“被认为是悲伤曲子的音乐实际上既会导致浪漫的情绪，也会导致悲伤的情绪。而且，无论是否受过音乐训练，人们在听悲伤的音乐时都会体验到这些矛盾的情绪。”研究人员补充道)”可知，在听悲伤的音乐时，参与者会不自觉地产生两种情绪。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for Developing Your Artistic Talent Everyone has an artistic talent.

But Robert’s father couldn’t afford to buy a bike for him, so they were going to borrow one for him. The students had planned to meet at 8 o’clock. But Robert, Helen and Betty were half an hour late, for they had to come a long way since they found the bridge over the stream had been washed away. When they told the bad news to David and Roy, David said nothing and kept silent for a moment. After a while, an idea came into his mind. “Do you think we could rebuild it?” All of them agreed and started to consider this seriously. They decided to rebuild the bridge before they went for the bicycle ride. Betty said she could ask her brother to make a plan for them. The biggest problem was to get enough wood. The next day they visited nearly every house in the village. Mr. Robinson agreed to supply the wood so long as they did the work. Several people promised to give money if they could build a new bridge because it was a short cut for them. The students worked for nearly a week under Mr. Robinson’s guidance. At the end of a week of hard work, the bridge was completed. They all agreed to ask Mr. Robinson to officially open the bridge. “He has helped us most.” David said. “And tomorrow morning we can go around to all the houses,” added Roy, “and tell the people that the bridge will be officially opened at six o’clock. Then we can remind them about their promises about money.” Roy added. “But we don’t really want that, do we?” said Robert. “Yes,” said Helen. “We need it and I think we should collect it.” She glanced quickly at the others, who nodded. The next day, the students visited all the houses again. They were surprised when they saw how pleased the people were with them. By two o’clock they had collected over a hundred dollars. By five o’clock, unknown to Robert, they had spent it. Paragraph 1： At six the students gathered at the bridge. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： David turned to Robert and said, “We have a surprise for you. Look! Look!” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 At six the students gathered at the bridge. Mr Robinson, accompanied by nearly forty fellow residents of their district, made a grand appearance. In a brief yet inspiring speech, he lauded the students for their arduous efforts. “And now, I hereby declare the bridge open,” he announced, “and I’ve got a delightful little surprise for you all.” He then turned to his son and accepted a small metal sign. Nimbly climbing down the bank, he firmly nailed it to the side of the bridge. It read, “Students’ Bridge.” As the neighbours applauded, the students beamed with even greater pride. David turned to Robert and said, “We have a surprise for you. Look! Look!” Helen skillfully pushed a brand-new bike through the cheering crowd and presented it to the stunned Robert. “Now you know why we were so eager to raise that money,” she said joyfully. Robert stared in disbelief, his eyes wide with astonishment. “What an incredible surprise,” he marveled. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了大卫和罗伊决定和另外三个学生：罗伯特、海伦和贝蒂一起去骑自行车。但是罗伯特的父亲买不起自行车给他，所以他们打算借一辆给他。这天罗伯特、海伦和贝蒂迟到了，因为小溪上的桥被冲走了。于是大家决定重建桥，最后桥建成了，他们还送给了罗伯特一辆自行车。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“六点钟整，学生们在桥上集合”可知，第一段可描写学生们看到桥时的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“大卫转向罗伯特说：‘我们要给你一个惊喜。看!看!’”可知，第二段可描写海伦送新自行车给罗伯特，罗伯特惊讶。 2.续写线索：桥上集合——宣布大桥开通——学生桥——海伦送自行车——罗伯特惊讶 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①赞扬：laud/praise ②赠送：present/give away ③筹钱：raise money/collect money 情绪类 ①惊讶：astonishment/surprise ②鼓舞人心：inspiring/encouraging 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the neighbours applauded, the students beamed with even greater pride.

Take a trip back in time and discover the Britain ancestors knew. Avebury, Wiltshire This village is the proud home of the largest stone circle in Europe. Built during the New Stone Age (around 3000 BC), archaeologists think it was used to comfort the powers of nature. The nearby Avebury Manor let people know how the village developed over the centuries. Unlike others, visitors are welcome to sit on the chairs, and lie on the beds. Skara Brae, Orkney Islands Older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza, Skara Brae is unusually well-kept. So much so that it’s been described as the most remarkable prehistoric monument in all of Europe. The Neolithic village— which was first occupied around 3180 BC—is made up of eight round houses, connected by a series of small passages. The village was home to farmers, hunters and fishermen and the network of homes includes a workshop and prison. Be sure to wrap up warm against the fierce Orkney winds. Butser Ancient Farm, Hampshire Experimental archaeologist Dr Peter J Reynolds founded Butser Ancient Farm in 1970 with a special vision: to create a working ancient farm where fellow archaeologists could explore their theories on how people lived and worked during the Iron Age. Near South Downs National Park, the farm builds ancient houses based on real archaeological sites from around the country. Maiden Castle Maiden Castle is one of the largest and most complex Iron Age hill forts (要塞) in Britain. It has an area of about 450,000 square meters, and the site was home to several hundred people in the Iron Age (800 BC—AD 43). 1. What may Avebury be built for? A. Building home for most villagers. B. Becoming the largest stone circle. C. Trying to comfort nature’s power. D. Showing the development of the village. 2. Which of the following should we choose if we want to see round buildings? A. Avebury. B. Skara Brae. C. Butser Ancient Farm. D. Maiden Castle. 3. What can we know about Maiden Castle? A. It’s the world largest Iron Age hill fort B. It used to be hundreds of people’s home. C. It still keeps some old iron tools. D. It looks very large and shining. B Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal. The woman, 85-year-old Janet Fein, received her bachelor’s degree (学士学位) from the University of Texas in December, 2018. Fein has had a full life. She raised five children and then had a career as a secretary (秘书) until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology (社会学). Fein grew up in the Bronx area of New York City. In high school, she just wanted to finish and get a job. After graduating early, at the age of 16, she went to work as a secretary. After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs throughout her life, including being a secretary at a Dallas hospital. That is the job she retired from in 2011. She received an associate degree (专科学位) in 1995. But she also wanted to earn a bachelor’s degree. Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texas. She kept going to class even as her health condition worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she needed oxygen (氧气) too. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements. Renee Brown is one of Fein’s care-givers. She says Fein has also inspired her. At 53, she plans to begin nursing school to further her career. Brown says Fein told her, “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you also can do it, and you will feel so good about it.” 4. When did Janet Fein start to work? A. In 1933. B. In 1995. C. In 1949. D. In 2012. 5. What does she study for her bachelor’s degree? A. Sociology. B. Secretary. C History. D. Health. 6. What does the underlined word “inspired” probably mean in the last paragraph? A. Shocked. B. Disappointed. C. Employed. D. Encouraged. 7. What can we learn from Janet Fein’s story? A. Practice makes perfect. B. It is never too late to learn. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C Product placement (植入式广告) is a form of advertising in which a company pays a content creator to place its products on the set of a movie, TV show or music video. The oldest examples of products appearing in films date back to the production of a French motion picture in 1896. Recent years have witnessed the bloom of product placement. With viewers migrating to web videos, this trend makes sense. When watching web videos, about 90% of consumers either skip or ignore those traditional ads that run before the video. So as advertisers struggle to reach potential consumers, they’re increasingly turning to product placement, spending their advertising budgets to get their ads into media content in ways that the ads can’t be skipped. Studies have shown product placement can increase viewer’s awareness of products and their positive attitudes toward them. But not all product placement works as intended, and research has shown that advertisers need to engage in delicate dance with viewers to effectively influence them. Viewers tend to be turned off if the product placement is too obvious — as when a character in the show holds the product and talks about it. Most viewers don’t want to be immersed (沉浸) in an intense drama only to be reminded that they’re being targeted by corporations. In contrast, viewers are most influenced by product placement in which the product or the brand name is spoken by one of the characters but not shown. These pieces of product placement are more likely to be noticed by viewers than those where products are simply shown on the screen. Also, viewers may be more attracted to product placement that appears earlier in a show or movie. Because they become more engaged as a movie or a show progresses. If the placement at the climax — the moment when their attention is fixed on what will happen next — they’re either less likely to notice the placement or more likely to be annoyed by it if they do notice it. With increasing online viewers and better designed product placement, perhaps advertisers will consider product placement as their first choice. After all, it’s incredibly effective at getting the targeted audience interested without influencing their viewing experience. 8. What can we know about product placement? A. It’s still popular nowadays. B. It first appeared in TV shows. C. It was overlooked in the 1890s. D. It aims to make videos interesting. 9. What’s the advantage of product placement to advertisers over traditional ads? A. It has a lower price. B. It’s more interesting. C. It’s less likely to be ignored by viewers. D. It makes advertisers understand customers well. 10. What does the underlined part “be turned off” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Gain satisfaction. B. Get confused. C. Feel funny. D. Lose interest. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Product Placement: the Future Trend for Advertising B. Product Placement: a New Driving Force Behind Movies C. Product Placement: a Mirror of the Advertisement History D. Product Placement: the Perfect Companion to Online Videos D A new study by Japanese researchers concludes that listening to sad music may actually contribute to positive emotions. Researchers say the findings help to explain why people enjoy listening to sad music. Ai Kawakami and the colleagues from Tokyo University of the Arts and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute asked 44 volunteers, including both musicians and non-specialists, to listen to two pieces of sad music and one piece of happy music. Each participant was required to use a set of keywords to rate both his perception of the music and his own emotional state. The sad pieces of music included Glinka’s La Separation, Blumenfeld’s Etude Sur Mer and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. The happy music piece was Granados’s Allegro de Concierto or Tonci Huljic’s Croatian Rhapsody. As reported in the open access journal Frontiers in Psychology sad music aroused contradictory emotions among the participants. “In general, sad music causes sadness in listeners, and sadness is regarded as an unpleasant emotion. If sad music actually arouses only unpleasant emotions, we would not listen to it,” the researchers wrote in the study. “Music that is regarded as a sad piece actually leads to romantic emotions as well as sad emotions. And people, regardless of their musical training, experience these contradictory emotions when listening to the sad music.” added the researchers. Also, unlike sadness in daily life, sadness experienced through art actually makes us feel pleasant, possibly because the latter does not do an actual threat to our safety. This could help people to deal with their negative emotions in daily life, concluded the authors. “Emotions experienced through music have no direct danger or harm unlike the emotions experienced in everyday life. Therefore, if we suffer from unpleasant emotions in daily life, sad music might be helpful to ease negative emotions.” they added. 12. The author in the passage wants to tell ________ . A. sad music may help us deal with negative emotions B. sad music can leave a person in a negative state C. researchers are devoted to studying music D. emotions play a vital role in our daily life 13. After listening to three pieces of music, ________ . A. the participants explained why they listened to music B. the participants described their feelings about the music C. the participants made a detailed summary of the music D. the participants got a lot of help from the happy music 14. According to the passage, to get rid of your depression, you should listen to ________ . A. Croatian Rhapsody B. Allegro de Concierto C. Moonlight Sonata D. The Blue Danube 15. While listening to the sad music, the participants ________ . A. can experience the less cheerful emotions deeply B. should keep themselves as cool as a cucumber C. can develop both kinds of emotions unconsciously D. should tell the difference between the two types of music 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for Developing Your Artistic Talent Everyone has an artistic talent.

But Robert’s father couldn’t afford to buy a bike for him, so they were going to borrow one for him. The students had planned to meet at 8 o’clock. But Robert, Helen and Betty were half an hour late, for they had to come a long way since they found the bridge over the stream had been washed away. When they told the bad news to David and Roy, David said nothing and kept silent for a moment. After a while, an idea came into his mind. “Do you think we could rebuild it?” All of them agreed and started to consider this seriously. They decided to rebuild the bridge before they went for the bicycle ride. Betty said she could ask her brother to make a plan for them. The biggest problem was to get enough wood. The next day they visited nearly every house in the village. Mr. Robinson agreed to supply the wood so long as they did the work. Several people promised to give money if they could build a new bridge because it was a short cut for them. The students worked for nearly a week under Mr. Robinson’s guidance. At the end of a week of hard work, the bridge was completed. They all agreed to ask Mr. Robinson to officially open the bridge. “He has helped us most.” David said. “And tomorrow morning we can go around to all the houses,” added Roy, “and tell the people that the bridge will be officially opened at six o’clock. Then we can remind them about their promises about money.” Roy added. “But we don’t really want that, do we?” said Robert. “Yes,” said Helen. “We need it and I think we should collect it.” She glanced quickly at the others, who nodded. The next day, the students visited all the houses again. They were surprised when they saw how pleased the people were with them. By two o’clock they had collected over a hundred dollars. By five o’clock, unknown to Robert, they had spent it. Paragraph 1： At six the students gathered at the bridge. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： David turned to Robert and said, “We have a surprise for you. Look! Look!” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
