Motorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.

A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of “melody roads”, which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.

The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.

Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.

Paten documents for the design describe it as notches “formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones.”

There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan—one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.

The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.

“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,” wrote one Japanese blogger. “Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12mph [20km/h] has a slow-motion efect, making you almost car-sick.”

【1】We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on _____.

A. how far the grooves are

B. how big the grooves are

C. the number of the grooves

D. the speed of the car

【2】The underlined word “optimal” in the passage might mean ________.

A. fastest B. possible C. best D. slowest

【3】In order to hear the music well, you have to ______.

A. drive very fast B. drive slowly

C. open the windows wide D. keep the windows closed

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A.A New Type of Music

B. Melody Roads in Japan

C.A Musical Road Surface

D.A New Invention in Japan

【题目】B

I had the honour of being elected chief of my tribe(部落). With the title came great responsibility. It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited. Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying, sticking eyes and much noise of sticks. They laid a palm leaf on the ground and, as head, I was forced to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. "Kia ora," he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.

My "tribe" was my New Zealand coach tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We’d been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was non-stop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance immortalized(使不朽) by the All Blacks rugby team.

Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slow-cooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.

Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show. "The wheels on the bus go round and round," he got us singing, while he circuited a roundabout three times.

A couple of days from the end of our trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a ridge, there it was — Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as "the land of the long white cloud". Can I say "Kia ora, Aotearoa?" You bet I can.

【1】How were the visitors greeted in the tribe?

A. The soldiers made a palm leaf road.

B. The soldiers touched their noses.

C. The soldiers shook sticks fiercely.

D. The soldiers made noise with shut eyes.

【2】 Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?

A. Kia ora. B. Haka. C. Hangi. D. Tamaki.

【3】What does the author think of the driver?

A. He was good at singing.

B. He made the journey memorable.

C. He was not familiar with the road.

D. He performed well on a TV show.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. A taste of Maori culture

B. Hello, New Zealand

C. The honour of being a tribe chief

D. The best of New Zealand

The book I’m reading of talks about afternoon tea in Britain. It is said to have started in the early 1800’s. Have tea in the late afternoon provides a bridge between lunch and dinner, that might not be served until 8 o’clock at night. This custom soon becomes another meal of day. Interesting, it had a connection by the British porcelain(瓷器) industry. Tea in China was traditionally drank from cups without handles. When tea got popular in Britain, there was a crying need for good cup with handles to suit British habits. This made for the grow in the porcelain industry.

Two hundred years after Charles Darwin’s birth, studies have found new details of his life at the University of Cambridge. Six leather-bound ledgers (皮革账本) discovered in the university show this. 【1】

He lived in the most expensive rooms provided for a rich student at his time. 【2】 He had someone to clean his room, make his bed and take care of the fire in his bright rooms. He hired a dishwasher, a clothes washer and a man who cleaned his shoes. A tailor (裁缝), hatter and barber made sure he was well presented. A chimney cleaner and a coalman kept his fire going. Christ’s College’s basic food was meat and beer. 【3】

Darwin’s bill topped 636 pounds during his three years of study at Cambridge. Later he described this time as the most joyful of his happy life. That large sum (金额) would have been fairly common for a student at Cambridge in the 19th century.

In those days Cambridge was full of rich students living a pretty good life and Darwin was just one of them. 【5】 And thus he had plenty of time for socializing or private study. He would be out shooting, collecting beetles, doing his scientific hobbies or visiting friends. He played cards and drank wine at night, just like students always have.

A. Thanks to the richness, he was able to hire servants to help with the daily life.

B. The findings were published on the Internet.

C. So he paid five and a half pencespan> extra each day to have vegetables.

D. He enjoyed the kind of comfortable university life that most of today’s students can only dream about.

E. He had several people to help him to deal with the daily housework.
