【解析】考查非谓语动词作定语。句意：“门上有一张纸条，上面写着商店何时再开业。”句中say要非谓语化来修饰名词note，所以排除谓语形式says。say和note之间为主动关系，故排除被动形式said，采用saying现在分词作定语。而having said 表示先于谓语动作发生的动作，且不能非谓语的完成式不能作限制性定语，故不能误选。句中 saying 相当于定语从句 which says。 say: (钟， 地图等) 表明， 表示， 显示，某物上写着什么内容。 “The message says……；The book doesn’t say…；The notice says……等”为常用句型。 例如：The notice says there will be a concert tonight. 通知说今晚将有一场音乐会。The book doesn’t say when he was born. 这本书并没有透露他是何时出生的。 The clock said four minutes past eleven when we set off. 我们出发时，时钟显示 11 点 4 分。

After ruling the tennis world for almost five years, Roger Federer is adjusting to life at NO.2. But, like any king whose throne has been taken away, the Swiss star is already planning secretly his return to power, beginning at this week’s US Open.

The problem is, many experts think he will never do it. They blame everything from age and tough competition to his racket and psychology.

For years Federer, 27, had enjoyed the view from the top. Competitors saw him as undefeated, and for the most part he was. However, before the 2008 season began, Federer had an illness that stole his strength and clearly affected his play on the court. Ever since, he has struggled to return to form, winning just two of his last 14 tournaments.

“Twenty-seven is an age when your body starts talking back to you.” tennis great John McEnroe told the New York Times.

Pancho Sefura, another tennis great, noted that Federer is also facing a maturing crop of young talents. “There are too many great players now,” he said, naming Britain’s Andy Murray, 21, and Latvia’s Ernests Gulbis, 20.

US magazine Sports Illustrated tennis columnist Jon Wertheim suggested that part of Federer’s problem could be his insistence on using a small racket. He says that the smaller head demands ball control. But we see time and again that racket makers try to get players to use a certain stick — one they would like to market to consumers and it has a negative effect the professional game.

Sports psychologist Jim Loehr told the Times that Federer is probably feeling “a sense of doubt” after being considered as undefeated for so long. If Federer is to recover his state of being undefeated, Loehr said he must overcome his doubt. “Federer doesn’t need fame and money. But he has to get better. He has to go to a whole new level. That’s the only way he stays in the game,” he said.

As for beginning his first Grand Slam in ages as the NO.2 seed, Federer said it might be for the best. “Five years almost, I was expected to win every tournament I entered,” he said, “so maybe Rafael Nadal now feels what I had to feel for a very long time. It will be interesting to see how he handles it.”

Mark Thompson, the BBC’s director general, is expected to announce on Thursday that the BBC will quit its entire west London home -- possibly selling the land to Chelsea football club -- as part of main plans that will see more staff moved out of the capital to Salford and elsewhere．

The move is at the heart of the BBC’s long-awaiting cost-cutting strategy（策略）which will see nearly 2,000 more jobs going at the public broadcaster, and some original programming，such as daytime shows on BBC2, eliminated to save money．

Several thousand people are employed at the west London sites，including Thompson himself and the bosses of all the BBC’s television channels．The employees are expected to be relocated（重新安排）to Broadcasting House in central London, Salford, or elsewhere．

The BBC has been broadcasting at various locations in the Shepherd’s Bush area since moving into Lime Grove in 1949．It then switched to the Television Centre in 1960，and more modern offices at nearby White City．But it is now open to selling the site, and the broadcaster has had talks about attracting Premier League clubs Chelsea or Queen’s Park Rangers as buyers．Both clubs are looking for new homes．

Earlier leaks（透露）suggest that the BBC will seek to cut spending on sports where the corporation has already decided to share coverage of Formula 1 with Sky TV -- and imports，such as Mad Men and The Killing．BBC4 is expected to focus on “arts and archive（档案）”, but Thompson has long ruled out closing any channels or radio stations．BBC1 and Radio 4 will be protected，but there are expected to be some cuts to local radio programs, which will see stations share shows outside breakfast and drive-time hours．

The corporation is already committed to remove TV Centre by 2015, but because parts of the building are listed, the football clubs have expressed an interest in the BBC’s White City offices instead，which could be knocked down. The White City building is where Thompson and the broadcaster's commercial division, BBC Worldwide, are based．

BBC sources say the 2,500 job losses being proposed（提议）include the 650 cuts to the World Service already announced, with up to l,000 coming from BBC News．It is understood that some staff who have only just made the move to Salford could see their jobs at risk. Salford is now home to Radio5 Live, children’s programs such as Blue Peter, and sports output including Match of the Day．

1.Why is the BBC planning to quit its west London home?

A. The BBC wants to earn more money．

B. The BBC would like to support British football sport．

C. The BBC is planning to save money for new programs．

D. The BBC has to cut down its cost．

A. set aside B. cut out C. sold out D．put on

A. Some original programmes will be adjusted．

B. All the BBC staff will have to work outside London．

C. More people will be employed for new programs．

D. Some TV channels or radio stations will be closed．

We are naturally drawn to friends and colleagues with familiar voices, scientists have found．People prefer those who have a similar accent，intonation and tone of voice to themselves , they discovered．

Previous research has focused on how masculine or feminine a voice sounds．Men with deeper voices and women with slightly higher voices were thought to sound more attractive，because they suggest a bigger or a smaller body．

But the new study，published by a linguistics(语言学)expert in Canada，suggests there is a

more complex mechanism(机制)at play．Dr Molly Babel, from the University of British Columbia in Canada, said，“The voice is an amazingly flexible(灵活的)tool that we use to construct our identity．Very few things in our voices are changeless，so we felt that our preferences had to be about more than a person’s shape and size．’’

She recorded 30 volunteers’ voices and asked each to rate the others’ attractiveness on a scale of one to nine．Each participant was from western America，with similar accents．The people we assessed were all in the same dialect group，but they showed that dialect to different degrees．

“We seem to like people who sound like we sound，we like people who fit within what we know，”Dr Babel said．She also found that breathy voices in women－typified by the famous American actress Marilyn Monroe－were seen as more attractive．

The breathy tone，caused by younger and thinner vocal cords(声带)，implied youthfulness

and health A creaky voice，suggesting a person has a cold，is tired or smokes，was seen as unattractive．The participants preferred men who spoke with a shorter average word length and deeper voices．

The linguist，whose work is published in the journal PLOS One，said，“Once you’re outside of a certain range of familiarity，novel and exotic sounding voices might become more attractive．We also have to keep in mind we find some accents more preferable than others because of social fixed ideas．”

1.In terms of voice preferences，the new findings highlight_______.

A．body size and shape B．shorter word length

C．thicker vocal cords D．the same social groups

2.Dr. Molly Babel mentions Marilyn Monroe in order to________.

A．evaluate a creaky voice

A．An old lady with a silvery voice．

B．A young lady with a thin voice．

C．A deep-voiced man with a dry throat．

D．A little man with a quiet and gentle voice．

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．People favor familiar accents when in a new place．

B．People might have a preference for different accents．

C．Voice preferences have no link to long-held belief．

D．Voice preferences are influenced by sex differences．

5.The main purpose of the passage is to________.

A．encourage men to use shorter words and talk less

B．inform readers of the findings of voices

C．argue against women’s breathy way of speaking

D．compare male voices with female voices
