T hnr his achievements, James is added t The Assciated Press (AP) List f male athlete f the decade, which includes Tiger Wds, Wayne Gretzky and Arnld Palmer. He easily defeated Tm Brady f the New England Patrits in the AP vte.

Frm Mzart t Metallica, tns f peple enjy listening t varius types f music while they paint, write, r draw. Mst believe that music helps increase creativity, but an internatinal study cnducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results were eched by scientists frm Lancaster University, and the University f Gavle, saying their findings shw music actually weakens creativity.
T reach their cnclusins, researchers had vlunteers cmplete verbal prblems designed t inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet rm, and then again while music played in the backgrund. They fund that backgrund music significantly weakened the vlunteers’ ability t cmplete tasks cnnected with verbal creativity. The team als tested backgrund nises like thse cmmnly heard in a library, but fund that such nises had n influence n subjects’ creativity.
The tasks were simple wrd games. Fr example, vlunteers were given three wrds, such as dress, rise, and flwer. Then, they were asked t find a single wrd cnnected with all three that culd be cmbined t frm a cmmn phrase r wrd. The single wrd, in this case, wuld be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflwer). Vlunteers cmpleted the tasks in either a quiet rm, r while listening t tw different types f music: rck music r light music.
“We fund strng evidence f weakened perfrmance when playing backgrund music in cmparisn t quiet backgrund cnditins,” says c-authr D. Neil McLatchie f Lancaster University. He and his clleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal wrking memry prcesses f the brain, preventing creativity. Als, as far as the library backgrund nises having seemingly n effect, the study’s authrs believe that was the case because library nises create a “regular state” envirnment that desn’t affect cncentratin.
“T cnclude, the findings here challenge the ppular view that music increases creativity, and instead shw that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage fr creative perfrmance in prblem slving,” the study reads.
28. The underlined wrd in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.
A. heardB. dubtedC. challengedD. accepted
29. What were the vlunteers asked t d in the study?
A. T play music.B. T create new wrds.
C. T cmbine given wrds.D. T cnnect wrds with music.
30. What can we infer frm the study?
A. Quiet backgrund inspires creativity best.B. Music has a bad effect n language ability.
C. Library nise des n harm t creativity.D. Music types matter in creative perfrmance.
31. Which is the main idea f the passage?
A. Listening t Music Reduces Creativity.
B. Cmpsing Music Weakens Creativity.
C. Quiet Envirnments Prevent Cncentratin.
D. Backgrund Nise Affects Cncentratin.
D
In the past few decades, the way we shp has changed dramatically. We used t buy ur gds in traditinal shps. Nw, custmers are increasingly buying nline, where they can rder whatever they want directly t their dr with the click f a muse. As cmpanies race t imprve their Internet shpping experience, the trend twards shpping nline is predicted t cntinue.
Mst peple cmmnly think that nline shpping is better than in-stre shpping. After all, an nline stre des nt use the electricity that a traditinal stre might use and it desn’t require the custmer t drive anywhere. S yu wuld think the carbn savings must be significant.
Take the typical hme delivery rund in the UK, fr example. Supermarket drivers ften d 120 deliveries n an 80-kilmetre rund, prducing 20 kilgrams f CO2 in ttal. In cntrast, a 21-kilmetre drive t the stre and back fr ne husehld wuld generate 24 times mre CO2! Hwever, the reality is slightly mre cmplex than that. Many hme deliveries fail the first time and the driver has t make a secnd r third attempt t deliver the purchase.
The carbn ftprint als ges up if the custmer chses t return the item. A study in Germany shws that as many as ne in three nline purchases are returned. Accrding t anther study, merchandise wrth nearly $326 millin is returned each year in the USA. Tw billin kilgrams f this ends up in landfill (垃圾填埋池), leading t 13 tns f CO2 being released.
When we take all these factrs int cnsideratin, we realize that nline shpping isn’t necessarily as green as peple might think. There is sme psitive news, as varius nline retailers (零售商) are starting t lwer their carbn ftprint by turning t electric delivery vehicles. Hwever, the questin f hw t deal with returns efficiently and withut waste is a challenge that many cmpanies have nt wanted t face, but they have t shulder respnsibilities.
32. What is a cmmn belief abut nline shpping accrding t the text?
A. It brings unpleasant changes.B. It increases cmpanies’ pressure.
C. It csts less than in-stre shpping.D. It is mre envirnment-friendly.
33. The data in Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly shws that ________.
A. sme nline items are actually f pr quality
B. custmers shuld think twice befre shpping
C. nline shpping may cause much carbn ftprint
D. waste frm nline shpping shuld be recycled
34. Hw d nline retailers try t reduce carbn ftprint?
A. By cutting the distance f delivery.B. By chsing t sell electric vehicles.
C. By using a greener way f deliveryD. By recycling their custmers’ returns.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Shpping Delivery Is Harming the Envirnment
B. Online Cmpanies Cause Much Carbn Ftprint
C. Bad Envirnmental Impact f In-stre Shpping
D. The Advantages and Disadvantages f Shpping

T hnr his achievements, James is added t The Assciated Press (AP) List f male athlete f the decade, which includes Tiger Wds, Wayne Gretzky and Arnld Palmer. He easily defeated Tm Brady f the New England Patrits in the AP vte.

Frm Mzart t Metallica, tns f peple enjy listening t varius types f music while they paint, write, r draw. Mst believe that music helps increase creativity, but an internatinal study cnducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results were eched by scientists frm Lancaster University, and the University f Gavle, saying their findings shw music actually weakens creativity.
T reach their cnclusins, researchers had vlunteers cmplete verbal prblems designed t inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet rm, and then again while music played in the backgrund. They fund that backgrund music significantly weakened the vlunteers’ ability t cmplete tasks cnnected with verbal creativity. The team als tested backgrund nises like thse cmmnly heard in a library, but fund that such nises had n influence n subjects’ creativity.
The tasks were simple wrd games. Fr example, vlunteers were given three wrds, such as dress, rise, and flwer. Then, they were asked t find a single wrd cnnected with all three that culd be cmbined t frm a cmmn phrase r wrd. The single wrd, in this case, wuld be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflwer). Vlunteers cmpleted the tasks in either a quiet rm, r while listening t tw different types f music: rck music r light music.
“We fund strng evidence f weakened perfrmance when playing backgrund music in cmparisn t quiet backgrund cnditins,” says c-authr D. Neil McLatchie f Lancaster University. He and his clleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal wrking memry prcesses f the brain, preventing creativity. Als, as far as the library backgrund nises having seemingly n effect, the study’s authrs believe that was the case because library nises create a “regular state” envirnment that desn’t affect cncentratin.
“T cnclude, the findings here challenge the ppular view that music increases creativity, and instead shw that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage fr creative perfrmance in prblem slving,” the study reads.
28. The underlined wrd in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.
A. heardB. dubtedC. challengedD. accepted
29. What were the vlunteers asked t d in the study?
A. T play music.B. T create new wrds.
C. T cmbine given wrds.D. T cnnect wrds with music.
30. What can we infer frm the study?
A. Quiet backgrund inspires creativity best.B. Music has a bad effect n language ability.
C. Library nise des n harm t creativity.D. Music types matter in creative perfrmance.
31. Which is the main idea f the passage?
A. Listening t Music Reduces Creativity.
B. Cmpsing Music Weakens Creativity.
C. Quiet Envirnments Prevent Cncentratin.
D. Backgrund Nise Affects Cncentratin.

In the past few decades, the way we shp has changed dramatically. We used t buy ur gds in traditinal shps. Nw, custmers are increasingly buying nline, where they can rder whatever they want directly t their dr with the click f a muse. As cmpanies race t imprve their Internet shpping experience, the trend twards shpping nline is predicted t cntinue.
Mst peple cmmnly think that nline shpping is better than in-stre shpping. After all, an nline stre des nt use the electricity that a traditinal stre might use and it desn’t require the custmer t drive anywhere. S yu wuld think the carbn savings must be significant.
Take the typical hme delivery rund in the UK, fr example. Supermarket drivers ften d 120 deliveries n an 80-kilmetre rund, prducing 20 kilgrams f CO2 in ttal. In cntrast, a 21-kilmetre drive t the stre and back fr ne husehld wuld generate 24 times mre CO2! Hwever, the reality is slightly mre cmplex than that. Many hme deliveries fail the first time and the driver has t make a secnd r third attempt t deliver the purchase.
The carbn ftprint als ges up if the custmer chses t return the item. A study in Germany shws that as many as ne in three nline purchases are returned. Accrding t anther study, merchandise wrth nearly $326 millin is returned each year in the USA. Tw billin kilgrams f this ends up in landfill (垃圾填埋池), leading t 13 tns f CO2 being released.
When we take all these factrs int cnsideratin, we realize that nline shpping isn’t necessarily as green as peple might think. There is sme psitive news, as varius nline retailers (零售商) are starting t lwer their carbn ftprint by turning t electric delivery vehicles. Hwever, the questin f hw t deal with returns efficiently and withut waste is a challenge that many cmpanies have nt wanted t face, but they have t shulder respnsibilities.
32. What is a cmmn belief abut nline shpping accrding t the text?
A. It brings unpleasant changes.B. It increases cmpanies’ pressure.
C. It csts less than in-stre shpping.D. It is mre envirnment-friendly.
33. The data in Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly shws that ________.
A. sme nline items are actually f pr quality
B. custmers shuld think twice befre shpping
C. nline shpping may cause much carbn ftprint
D. waste frm nline shpping shuld be recycled
34. Hw d nline retailers try t reduce carbn ftprint?
A. By cutting the distance f delivery.B. By chsing t sell electric vehicles.
C. By using a greener way f deliveryD. By recycling their custmers’ returns.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Shpping Delivery Is Harming the Envirnment
B. Online Cmpanies Cause Much Carbn Ftprint
C. Bad Envirnmental Impact f In-stre Shpping
D. The Advantages and Disadvantages f Shpping
