题目内容

Three weeks before the May Day holiday, Tong Zhuo, a 24-year-old computer engineer in Nanjing, started getting busy. He was trying to get in touch with friends on MSN to arrange a trip to the annual Midi Music Festival in Beijing during the holiday.

Although Tong failed in his job-hunt, he felt less frustrated after visiting the festival at the invitation of a friend. "It was the first time that I saw so many crazy people gathered together. When the music reached a climax, people kept yelling, jumping and bumping each other. You felt excited even if you weren't as high as they were," recalled Tong.

Midi, which is held May 1-4, started in 1999 and has grown into China's largest outdoor music festival. The festival is named after Beijing's Midi Music School, which started the event. This year's festival will have 84 bands, 22 of them foreign. It will be held in Haidian Park, northwest Beijing.  

Outdoor music festivals have been around for decades in the West. They often stand for a kind of different belief. The Woodstock Festival in the US in 1969 is an example. It took place while the US was involved in the Vietnam war and was used to express young people’s love of peace.

China's Midi has become a good place for young people as well. "The biggest attraction of Midi is that it is an event for all young people, whether they know rock or not. They can come and have fun together," says Li Wei, www..coma general manager of Beijing Midi Performance Company, the festival organizer.“ Besides,the open environment of an outdoor festival attracts young people. Without the restrictions of seats and walls, people are more likely to relax themselves. There's often more interaction between the audience and performers.”

What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Midi Music Festival in Beijing

B. Tong Zhuo— a music lover

C. The joy of Midi Music Festival

D. The history of Mini Music Festival

Before May Day, Tong Zhuo started getting busy because_______.

  A. Midi Music Festival is held every year in Beijing.

  B. You can relax yourself as you like in the festival.

  C. The festival is named after a school

D. Only those who know music can take part in the festival

Which of the following is not the reason why Midi Music is popular with Chinese young people?

B. the open environment

C. freedom and interaction

The Woodstock Festival is mentioned mainly to show that ______.

  A. westerners also like the outdoor music festivals

  C. young people can express their feelings through music festivals

D. people love peace and hate wars

【小题1】A

【小题2】B

【小题3】D

【小题4】D

【小题5】C


解析:

【小题1】主旨大意题。 本文由Tong Zhuo参加北京Midi 音乐节谈起,紧接着介绍了的一些基本情况和以及它的受青年人欢迎的原因, 故A项为正确答案。

【小题2】细节理解题。由第一段 “He was trying to get in touch with friends on MSN to arrange a trip to the annual Midi Music Festival in Beijing during the holiday.”可知答案为B。

【小题3】正误判断题。由文中第五段 “The biggest attraction of Midi is that it is an event for all young people, whether they know rock or not.”可以判断D项表述有误,符合题意。根据第一段最后一句中的 “the annual(每年的)Midi Music Festival” 可知A项正确;B、C两项可以分别从第二段和第三段中找到依据。

【小题4】归纳概括题。由最后一段我们可以归纳出A、B、C三项均是Midi Music受青年人喜欢的原因。文章中谈到了Midi Music在西方国家也受青年人的青睐,但不能作为中国青年人喜欢Midi Music的原因。故答案为D。

【小题5】推理判断题。我们由第四段可以推出,作者提及The Woodstock Festival,是为了说明青年人可以通过这个节日表达自己的对社会和国家的不同看法。

The high noise of modern life may affect speech and language development in the very young, according to a study that found the auditory (听觉的) parts of the brains of young mice are slower to organize properly in the presence of continuous sounds.

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, reared a group of rats in an environment of continuous background noise and found that their brain circuits that receive and interpret (解释) sound did not develop at the same rate as animals that were raised in a quieter environment.?

Edward F. Chang and Michael Merzenich, co-authors of the study appearing in the journal Science, said that the continuous noise delayed the organization of auditory neurons (神经细胞) during a critical two-to-three-week period after the rat pups were born.?

For rats not exposed to the noise, the auditory cortex(皮层) neurons during this period gathered into a smaller area and began developing a selective response to sounds.?

But for the noise?exposed rats, this organization was slowed, causing a delay in the development of the ability to discriminate(辨别) specific sound tones. The researchers said it took three or four times longer for the rats raised in a noisy environment to reach the basic bench marks (基准) of auditory development seen in the rat pups not exposed to noises.?

Although the rat is not a perfect model for what happens in humans, the authors note, the study does suggest that high levels of noise might possibly affect some language learning in babies.?

“These findings suggest that environmental noise, which is commonly present in contemporary child-rearing environments, can potentially contribute to auditory and language-related development delays,”the authors wrote in Science.?

The authors noted that although the brain development was delayed in rats exposed to the noise, their brains did eventually mature (成熟的) normally.?

The scientists at California University studied rats_______.?

A. of different age groups     B. with different habits?

C. in different environments  D. from different areas?

The rats exposed to noise, compared to those not exposed, _______.?

A. were more sensitive   B. were duller?

C. grew up more slowly D. gathered together more quickly

The result of the research mainly tells us that noise _______.

A. delays brain development  B. stops baby growth

C. affects speech and language      D. destroys brains?

The findings of the research are said to have special connections with _______.

A. causes of noises B. medical science?

C. other living things     D. human babies??
