3．A new study，conducted by British company Mindlab International，has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy and speed，The Telegraph reported．Perhaps，some parents disagree with this idea，saying，"Switch off the music and Concentrate!"Well，if that's the case with your parents，you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side．
The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row，including spell checking，mathematical word problems，data entry，and abstract reasoning．The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all．
The results showed that while music was playing，88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work．David Lewis，chairman of Mindlab International，told The Telegraph，"Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state…they are going to become more positive about the work．"
However，you may have a list of your favorite songs，but not all kinds of music match all homework．For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail，you should listen to classical music，the study found．In the study，pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all．If you are reviewing your English writing，pop music is the best choice，as it is the best kind for spell checking．It cut mistakes by 14%，compared to listening to no music．After finishing your homework，do you often take time to check your answers？Maybe，some dance music is suitable for you．

28．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？B
A．We cannot live without music            B．Music helps us to learn
C．Different music，different lives         D．Music in the classroom．
29．What did the participants have to do in the study？C
A．Persuade their parents to listen to music．
B．Listen to the same music together．
C．Finish tasks with music or without music at all．
D．Try their best to choose the most suitable music．
30．What does the underlined word"they"refer to in Para 3？A
A．participants                             B．results
C．tests                                        D．tools
31．When you review your English writing，what kind of music is the best choice？B
A．Classical music                            B．Pop music
C．Dance music                                D．Rock music．

1．Culture shock isn't a medical condition．It's only a common way to describe the confusing and nervous feelings a person may have after leaving a familiar culture to live in a new and different one．When you move to a new place，you have to face a lot of changes．That can be exciting，but it can also be overwhelming．You may feel sad and want to go home．
It's natural to have difficulty adjusting to a new culture．People from other cultures may have grown up with values and beliefs that differ from yours．Because of these differences，the things they talk about，the ways they express themselves，and the importance of various ideas may be very different from what you are used to．But the good news is that culture shock is temporary．
What causes culture shock？
To understand culture shock helps to understand what culture is．You may know that genes determine a big part of how you look and act．What you might not know is that your environment has a big effect on your appearance and behavior as well．
Your environment isn't just the air you breathe and the food you eat，though； a big part of your environment is culture．Culture is made up of the common things that members of a community learn from family，friends，media，literature，and even strangers．These are the things that influence how they look，act，and communicate．Often，you don't even know you're learning these things because they become second nature to you，for instance，the way you shake hands with someone when meeting them．
When you go to a new place，such as a new country or even a new city，you often enter a new culture that is different from the one you left．Sometimes your culture and the new culture are similar．Sometimes，they can be very different，and even contradictory．What might be perfectly normal in one culture，for instance，spending hours eating a meal with your family，might be unusual in a culture that values a more fast-paced lifestyle．
The differences between cultures can make it very difficult to adjust to the new surroundings that are very easy at home．Dealing with the differences can be very unsettling； those feelings are part of adjusting to a new culture．

63．What does the underlined word"overwhelming"in the first paragraph mean？B
A．developing．B．powerful．C．destroying．D．joyful．
64．According to the passage，the culture isA．
A．the ideals，beliefs and customs shared and accepted by people in a society
B．the feeling of anxiety people have when they visit a new place
C．a(chǎn) big part of the environment where people can breathe the air and eat the food
D．the difference from one perfectly normal country to another fast-paced one
65．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？D
A．To live in a new culture is not so easy as staying at home．
B．Culture like genes determines a big part of how the society looks and acts．
C．Second nature can often make people ignore the things they are learning．
D．What might be perfectly normal in one culture is the same in another culture．

2．Today just as technology changed the face of industry，farms have experienced anagricultural revolution"．On the farm of today，machines provide almost all the power．
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer．A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently．The computers help them keep more accurate（精確的） records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant，hw much livestock （家畜） to buy，when to sell their products，and how much profit they can expect．Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers．Programs are being written for pig producers，grain farmers，potato farmers，and dairy farmers．In the future，farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs．Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm，students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses．There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future．While the old-time farm depended on horse power，and mdern farms depend on machine power，farms of the future will depend on computer power．
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot，a real"mechanized hired hand"that will be able to move and，in some ways，think like a human being．Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century．Unlike farmers of the present，farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them．Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear （修剪） sheep，drive tractors，and harvest fruit．Even complex jobs will be done by robots．For example，in orer to milk their cows，farmers must first drive them into the barn，then connect them to the milking machines，watch the machines，and disconnect them when they are finished．In the future，this will all be done by robots．In addition，when the milking is completed，the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure．The complete change of the farm is far in the future，but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long．
33．According to the passage，computers can not help farmers decideC．
A．how much money they can earn from their products
B．whether to plant a certain kind of crop
C．what livestock to raise   
D．when to sell their products
34．Which of the following statements is true？B
A．Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers．
B．Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present．
C．Both computers and robots have been in use on today's farms．
D．Students at agricultural colleges needn't take their normal agricultural courses．
35．What is the best title for the whole passage？C
A．Computer，F(xiàn)armers'Best Friend     
B．Farmers in The Future
C．The Agricultural Revolution        
D．Computers and Robots．

6．Cherish the Moments with Our Parents
There was something in an elderly woman's behavior that caught my eye．Unsure of her steps，the woman moved slowly，along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter．The daughter was rolling her eyes and checking her watch every few seconds．
The older woman left the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf．Without hesitation，I walked over and asked if I could help her find something．The woman smiled at me and showed me a title on a piece of paper．
Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman，I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it．Looking back，I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment．Her movements reminded me of my own mother，who had passed away the previous Christmas．
As we walked，the woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation．We found the movie and she told me it was the one she'd enjoyed when she was her son's age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had．Maybe，she said he could enjoy it with his own young children．
I accompanied her to the queue at the cashier．As the cashier put the DVD into a plastic bag，I went over to the younger woman，who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store．
"Is that your mom？"I asked．
I had expected her to tell me it was none of my business．But she rolled her eyes and said，"Yeah．"There was annoyance in her reply．Still watching the mother，I said，"Mind some advice？"
"Go ahead，"said the daughter．
I smiled to show her I wasn't criticizing"Cherish her，"I said，"When she's gone，it's the little moments that'll come back to you．Moments like this．I know．"
It was true．I missed my mom still and remembered with sadness the moments when I'd used my impatience to make her life miserable．
The elderly woman moved slowly back to her daughter．Together they made their way toward the store's exit．They stood there for a moment，side by side，watching the rush of the holiday current．Then the daughter glanced over and slowly placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mother's shoulders and gently guided her home．

56．The daughter checked her watch frequently because sheC．
A．had to wait for a friend
B．wanted to buy a new watch
C．was impatient to shop with her mom
D．was uninterested in watching the DVD
57．From Paragraphs 3and 4we know thatD．
A．the elderly woman hadn't seen the movie before
B．the elderly woman found her son's favorite movie
C．the author and the eldly woman hurried to find the DVD
D．the author and the elderly woman enjoyed each other's company
58．We can learn from the passage thatD．
A．the author had treated her mom very well
B．the elderly woman looked like the author's mom
C．the author scolded the daughter for her behavior

8．One in ten teens says they use"study drugs"to improve their performance in school．So-called"study-drugs"refer to prescription medicines（處方藥） used to treat ADHD（注意力缺乏癥）．But most of parents have no understanding of the problem，a new study finds．
In January，2013，researchers from the University of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital did a national survey of more than seven hundred families with teens．They found that only one percent of parents believe their child has taken a study drug．
Yet in a 2012 University of Michigan study，ten percent of second-year high school students and twelve percent of third-year students say they use a study drug．
The misuse of stuffy drugs didn't come to the attention of almost all parents．"What we found in this survey is a clear mismatch（不相符），"said Dr．Matthew Davis，one of the researchers．"It is a mismatch between what parents believe and what their children were reporting．"
"We know teens believe that these drugs can improve their grade，"Davis said．"But these prescription medicines are drugs．And teens who use them without a prescription are taking a serious risk．"
The new survey showed that fifty-four percent of white parents were"very concerned"about their child taking study drugs，compared with thirty-eight percent of the Hispanic （拉美的） parents and thirty-seven percent of black parents．
However，just twenty-seven percent of parents surveyed talked to their teens about using study drugs．Of these parents，forty-one percent were black，twenty-seven percent were white and seventeen percent were Hispanic．
Students with a prescription for an ADHD drug should be required to keep their medicines in a safe place．Seventy-nine percent of parents think so，the survey shows．This may help preventitfrom being shared or used by other students．
32．According to paragraph 4，Dr．Davis thinks．D
A．the 2012 University of Michigan st udy is untrue
B．it is a good way to take study drugs to treat ADHD
C．it is necessary to do another new survey about study drugs

33．Dr．Davis believed using study drugs to improve grades．A
A．is bad for health    B．is worth a try   C．sometimes works   D．causes little harm
34．What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refer to？A
A．The study drug     B．ADHD．C．The survey．D．A safe place．．
35．What is the purpose of this text？C
A．To give useful advice．

15．We were standing at the top of a church tower．My father had brought me to this place in a small town not far from our home in Rome．I wondered why．
"Look down，Elsa，"father said．I gathered all my courage and looked down．I saw the square in the center of the village．And I saw the crisscross （十字形） of the twisting，turning streets leading to the square．"See，my dear，"father said gently．"There is more than one way to the square．Life is like that．If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road，try another．"
