Long ago,poems were recited out loud instead of being written down. Back when the Greeks first started the Olympics, they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.

Now, poetry competitions have been revived. This year 120,000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest, performing poems from memory for ＄100,000 in prizes.

The first competitions were held in classrooms. The winners went on to schoolwide contests, and then they competed in city and state competitions, and then the 50 state champions, along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington,D.C. last week for the last showdown(对决). After the 51 champions competed against one another, 12 went on to the finals. Then the field was narrowed to five. The final five had one last chance to “perform” a poem. The overall champ, Jackson Hille, a high school senior from Ohio, won a ＄20,000 scholarship.

The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on the page.

It’s not just a matter of saying the words in the right order. It’s the tone of voice, the pauses, the gestures, and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life. “Each time we hear somebody recite a poem, we understand again what we found fresh and interesting about it,” says National Public Radio broadcaster Scott Simon, master of ceremonies for the finals. Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener.

Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience, but memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants understand those poems in a new way. Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry One Loud is that the participants learn public-speaking skills that can help them for life.

24. From the first paragraph, we can know         .

1. the Greeks were the first to write poems.
2. the Olympics used to start with poem reciting
3. athletes were asked to recite poems before competing
4. Poems were spread orally in the past

25. How many rounds of competitions did the champions take before they went to Washington D.C.?

1.  Six       B. Five        C. Four          D. Three

26. According to the passage, hearing a poem recited by many people can        .

1. Offer something new to listeners             B. help listeners find their interest

C.Make listeners learn the words                D. Bring a new life to listeners

27. What’s the best title for the passage?

  A. Reciting poems improves your memory.       B. Remembering a lot of poems is fun.

  C. Poets have a great time.                    D. Poetry rocks the microphone.

C

I did an experiment last week. No, nothing involving test tubes or beakers(烧杯）. Instead, I experimented with not watching the news right before I went to bed.

This is a long-time habit of mine so it’s probably not surprising that the first couple of nights I got a little twitchy when news time rolled around and I wasn’t watching. To distract myself, I went to bed a little earlier and read. Wow, what a treat that was! I love to read but I don’t always make the time for it so this felt quite luxurious. On the nights I didn’t read, I spent a little extra time petting my dog, Henry. He loved it. There’s never enough ear scratching for him. The compromise nights were when I had a book in one hand and was petting the dog with the other. Happy all around!

The funny thing about happiness is that it’s a whole lot easier to feel when you’re not being bombarded(轰炸) by images of bad news. It’s not like skipping the late news means that I don’t know what’s going on in the world. I still do read, listen to, and watch news stories. Just not right before I go to bed. That makes it easier to fall asleep and then stay asleep without dreaming about crime, wars, or natural disasters. (Although that dream I had about going to the prom might count as a natural disaster!) It’s definitely a much gentler way to end the day. I like it so much that I’m going to not only continue the no news before bed practice, but I’m also going to experiment with turning off other electronics earlier in the evening, things like the computer and smart phone.

Do you have any experience with turning off your electronics early in the evening? Does setting a particular time, like digital Quiet Hours, work? Please share any tips you have. Something tells me that this could be a little more challenging for me than no news.

28.What does the underlined word “twitchy” mean?

1. Anxious        B. Sad         C.  Angry       D. Pleased

29.What did the author do to distract himself from watching news?

1. To treat himself with snacks         B. To read to his dog

C.To read in bed                     D. To turn off the TV

30.What’s the result of the author’s experiment?

1. He had more time to walk his dog.
2. He was cut off from the current world.
3. He had nightmares.
4. He was less exposed to images of bad news.

31. What does the author intend to do by writing the text?

1. To gather the readers’ advice on watching TV.
2. To encourage the readers to cut down time on electronics
3. To share the effect of watching news.
4. To tell the readers the importance of reading.

D

A paper published on November 15 in Current Biology suggests that a patch （小块）of cells developed for identifying human faces, the fusiform face area （FFA）, is up and running in infants（婴儿） as young as two months old.

Rebecca Saxe, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and her colleagues scanned 42 infants ranging in age from two to nine months using a special functional magnetic resonance（磁共振）imaging （fMRI） helmet designed specifically for babies. Data from 16 of the infants had to be thrown out because it is extremely difficult to keep them happy, still and awake for long. For the 26 remaining infants, the scientists compared activity in visual areas of the brain while they watched 2.7-second video clips that described faces, body parts, landscapes, and other objects. Results showed more activity in the areas of the brain's visual system that are specialized for recognizing faces, bodies and scenes than areas for other observed objects.

“There's every reason to think that babies are born expecting and looking for their most important social partners,” Saxe says. "Something in their brain makes them interested in faces actually before they've had any experience with faces at all. Babies look toward face-like images from hours after birth.”

Other researchers are not convinced by Saxe's conclusions. I don't believe that there are face patches present at birth,” Livingstone says. He views experience and learning are essential for the development of the FFA.

To Kalanit Grill-Spector, a psychology professor at Stanford University, the most exciting part of the new paper is not about this question of learned versus inborn development. “I think the study is kind of attempting to address this question, but it doesn't really provide a perfect answer one way or another. What impressed me is the amount of babies that they've scanned and with a lot of new innovations in baby fMRI,“ she says. "That's going to push the field forward.”

32. Why were the data from the 16 infants abandoned?

A. Because the infants didn't watch the video clips.

B. Because the infants made no response to the objects.

C. Because the infants couldn't focus on objects for some time.

D. Because the infants were unwilling to wear helmets for long.

33. How did the researchers get the results?

A. By listing figures. B. By asking questions.

C. By analyzing reasons. D. By making comparisons.

34. Which statement would Rebecca Saxe probably agree with?

A. Infants can process facial patterns and give them meaning.

B. Specialized areas for recognizing faces are present at birth.

C. Some abilities of the visual system are gradually developed.

D. Experience and learning are essential for the development of the FFA.

35. Which word best describes Grill-Spector's attitude to the way of the research?

A. Objective.    B. Skeptical.       C. Favorable.       D. Disapproving.

第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）

根据短文内容，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。答案写在答题卡上。

Having a conversation with a colleague or customer who constantly interrupts you is one of life’s most discouraging experiences.   36  . But there are effective methods you can use to get your own points across.

1. Discourage interruptions before they happen.

If you’re about to tell an involved story or make a complex proposal, you may be able to protect yourself from interruptions by making that clear up front.   37  . By letting the other person know in advance that the opinion will be heard and valued, you’re encouraging that person to listen carefully to what you’re about to say to provide a worthwhile response.

2. Ask the rest of the group for input.

  38  , one method is to say something like, “We’ve heard from Sam a few times. Does anyone else have anything to contribute?” You’re nicely putting the interrupter on notice that he or she has been talking all the time. And it’s time to let others speak. You’re also encouraging other members of your group to speak up.

3. Ask yourself if the interruption has value.

Some people interrupt because their brains work very fast. They’ve already grasped the information you’re conveying, and they want to speed up the pace of the discussion.   39  , you’ll come across as being more interested in the issues than in yourself.

While none of these skills is guaranteed to protect you from interrupters, trying one or another, or maybe more than one in combination, should help you be heard instead of being interrupted. Getting interrupted is always unpleasant, but you don’t have to suffer it in silence.   40  .

A. It happens all the time

B. Make sure you get to have your say

C. If you want to gain valuable insight

D. When the same person interrupts you repeatedly

E. Only some people have encountered interrupters in their lives

F. Explain that once you’re done, you’ll want the other person’s input

G. If you stop and listen to the interrupter and ask a couple of questions

The whole class burst out laughing as John rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama top underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals （凉鞋）that were too big in size. The physics teacher's hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard.

John murmured, "Sorry, teacher,  and quickly stepped to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly died down. John's classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Jolin's late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals.

John lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. Although John was adorable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Harry, who sat next to John, tried to be his friend.

The following Monday, John did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Harry decided to walk over to John's house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. John must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Harry let himself in. He called John's name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Harry peered in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, John was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly. He played perfectly. so much so that it sounded like a recording. Harry left quietly
