At home, his dad never listened to music, while one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tone-deaf. But last month he started to play the harmonica (口琴)on the streets of Bradford. People clapped, danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank.Eight years ago, Horam, a retired civil servant, was on his way back from a trip with his family. Gavin, one of his sons who cover a range of instruments, stopped at a music shop. He walked out and said: “Here you are. I bought this for you, Dad. We must have got our musical abilities from you. It’s a harmonica. I’ll try to show you how to play a bit.” Horam was surprised and confused.They went to their local pub. Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica, trying to make a sound that no one would hear. After six months, he was invited into the group. He discovered a talent for improvisation (即兴表演) , responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid. “I don’ t play by ear. I play by heart.” Actually, Horam says, “My harmonica plays me—how I feel what I am, and what I’ve been.”Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel “part of something much big— ger” than himself. “At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking, mine is expanding,” he says. “Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.”Why did Horam play the harmonica on the streets of Bradford? To recall the good old days. To beg food from passers-by. To raise money for charity. To live his childhood dream. What is Gavin’s attitude to his father’s musical ability? A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Negative. What can Horam do by playing the harmonica? A. Express himself. B. Make a lot of money. C. Enjoy the fame. D. Sharpen his hearing. What does music bring to Horam? A. A sensitive soul. B. A comfortable life. C A new understanding of family. D. A broader circle of life. C Prefer your coffee black? Then you probably like dark, bitter chocolate, according to new research identifying a
genetic (基因的)basis for those preferences. If that’s you, then congratulations——you are the lucky genetic winner of a feature that may offer you a boost toward good health, according to caffeine researcher Marilyn Cornelis, an associate professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.Studies find appropriate amounts of black coffee between 3 and 5 cups daily has been shown to lower the risk of certain diseases, including Parkinson’s, heart diseases, Type 2 diabetes and several types of cancer. But those benefits are likely to be more pronounced if the coffee is free of all of the milk, sugars and other fattening flavorings we tend to add.“We know there’s growing evidence suggesting there’s a beneficial impact of coffee consumption on health. But reading between the lines, anyone advising someone to consume coffee would typically advise them to consume black coffee due to the difference between consuming black coffee and coffee with milk and sugar,” Cornelis said. “One is naturally calorie free. The second can add possibly hundreds of calories to your coffee, and the health benefits could be quite different.” she added.In previous research, Cornelis and her team discovered that a genetic variant (变异)may contribute to why somepeople enjoy many cups of coffee a day, while others do not. “People with the gene metabolize (新陈代谢)caffeine faster, so the stimulating effects wear off faster, and they need to drink more coffee,” she said.In a new study published in Scientific Reports, Cornelis analyzed more precise types of coffee drinkers, separating black coffee lovers from cream and sugar (or more) lovers. “We found coffee drinkers with the genetic variant that reflects a faster metabolism of caffeine prefer bitter, black coffee,” Cornelis said. “We also found the same genetic variant in people who prefer plain tea over sweetened, and bitter, dark chocolate over the more mellow milk chocolate.”Why do some people prefer bitter chocolate? They are affected by their genes. They know it benefits their health. They’ve got the habit since childhood. They are influenced by their friends. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Complex. B. Changeable. C. Obvious. D. Fundamental. What can be inferred from the third paragraph? People often give misleading suggestions. People should choose calorie-free coffee. The effect of coffee on health is overstated.
Sugar and milk are damaging our health secretly. What’s the text mainly about? A. How to keep healthy. B. How to make coffee. C. Why chocolate gets popular. D. Why people like black coffee. D If you were to move to a new country with a different language and bring along the family dog, your pet would likely have a hard time understanding commands from the locals9 according to a new study looking at how dogs’ brains react to different languages.The new study was conducted by lead author Laura Cuaya, a neurobiologist at Eotvos Lordnd University in Hungary, who recently moved from Mexico to Tokyo alongside her dog Kun-kun.Cuaya and her team trained 18 dogs, including Kun-kun, to lie motionless in an MRI machine so the researchers could scan their brains. As the dogs were being scanned, the researchers played the dogs three different recordings: a Spanish reading from the famous children’s book The Little Prince; a Japanese reading from the same book; and a series of human noises that did not resemble speech at all. All of the dogs had been exposed to only one of the two languages, meaning one was familiar to them and the other was unfamiliar. MRI scans revealed that dogs’ brains can distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar languages? making them the first-known, and so far only, non-human animals to be able to tell the difference between human languages.During the experiments, researchers also found that older dogs showed more activity in the secondary auditory cortex of the brain, suggesting they were better at differentiating familiar and unfamiliar languages than younger dogs. “I think that the main reason that older dogs are better at differentiating languages is the amount of exposure to the language Cuaya said. “Older dogs have had more opportunities to listen to humans while they talk.”What makes dogs unique is that they do not need to be trained to distinguish between human languages. “Their brains detected the difference naturally, perhaps due to the domestication process,” Cuaya said. “While it is possible that many species can distinguish between human languages 9 dogs are one of the few that are interested in hearing us.”What does the new study find? Dogs may settle into a new environment easily. Dogs can face language barriers in a foreign country. Dogs are more sensitive to languages than other animals. Dogs fail to understand their owners in a new environment. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the study?
A. Its background. B. Its benefit. C. Its process. D. Its purpose. What does Cuaya intend to convey in the last paragraph? Domestication helps dogs better live with humans. Dogs are closely related to humans. Humans should be more friendly to dogs. Training plays an important role in raising dogs. What’s the best title for the text? Dogs can bring surprising health benefits Dogs are good translators in a new environment Dogs that are often exposed to humans are more intelligent Dogs can distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar human languages 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。 How can we have a less complex and more meaningful life? The answer might be minimalism( 极简主义).         36 The following ways will assist you in your journey to live a simpler yet fuller life.         37 Most people’s living space is filled with things that are never used and don’t contribute to their well-being. Separate the ones you do need from the ones you don’t, and throw the latter right into the dustbin or give them away.Appreciate all the amazing things you already have. We usually compare ourselves to others who seem happier, more beautiful and more important than us. We try our best to  imitate those we envy.  38  We  need to  stop comparing and accept ourselves for who we are, with all our imperfections. Take a moment to appreciate what you have.Do one thing at a time. Minimalist living actually means making the most out of each moment. We’re usually carrying out different tasks at the same time. So whatever we are doing our mind is partly wondering somewhere else.        39         Develop mindfulness.    40    Thus you need to develop mindfulness. Mindfulness means fully attending to what’s happening in the present.It is about enjoying life more with less. Stop consuming products you don’t need. Yet no matter how much we try, we always fail. D Get rid of things that don’t serve your happiness.
Our minds are filled with worries in our busy lives. Minimalist living requires a calm and undisturbed mind. Stop multitasking and concentrate on a single thing at a time. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节(共 20 小题;每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 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住选项。 A father's love Daddy just didn’t know how to show love.
