21、Intelligence could play a role, according to a Michigan State University study that investigated the early stages of learning to play the piano. Published in the journal Intelligence, the study may be the first to examine the relationship between intelligence, music talent and growth mindset (referring to whether students believe they can improve basic abilities

“The strongest predictor of skill acquisition is intelligence, followed by music talent,” said Alexander Burgoyne, the leader of the study. “By contrast, the relevance between growth mindset and piano performance is about us close to zero as possible.”

In the study, 161 undergraduates were taught how to play “Happy Birthday” on the piano with the help of a video guide. There were striking differences in the students' skill acquisition process. Some learned quickly, earning perfect marks within six minutes of practice. Others performed poly at first but improved considerably later. By comparison, some seemed to have lost their motivation and others never figured it out, performing poly throughout the study. So why did some students fail while others succeeded? To find out, the researchers gave the students some tests that measured things like problem-solving skills and processing speed, and tests of music talent that measured. They also surveyed their growth mindset.

Burgoyne said, “The results were surprising, because people had previously claimed that mindset plays an important role when students are faced with challenges, like trying to learn a new musical instrument. And yet, it didn't predict skill acquisition. That said, results will possibly differ from those with greater skills.” He added, “Our study examined one of the earliest stages of skill acquisition. Early experiences can be important, but I would warn against drawing conclusions about skilled musicians based on our study of beginners.”

But applied generally, the study's findings may be helpful in education. According to a recent review of mindset research, interventions designed to gain some achievement by encouraging children to believe they can improve their basic abilities may be fruitless.

【1】What does the study by Burgoyne intend to find out?

A．How students can play the piano best.

B．Why talent is essential as a beginner pianist.

C．What matters most in beginner pianists’ skill acquisition.

D．What causes the difficulty for beginners to learn the piano.

【2】What does the study show about basic skill acquisition?

A．It has little relationship with mindset.

B．It requires outstanding music talent.

C．It requires fast processing speed.

D．It depends on problem-solving skills.

【3】Which of the following might Burgoyne agree with?

A．Learning musical instrument isn't easy.

B．Interventions are necessary for learning.

C．Mindset is key to one's musical achievements.

D．His finding can't apply to skilled musicians.

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

A．Mindset—a key role in beginner pianists

B．Intelligence—a key role in beginner pianists

C．Talent—a key role in beginner pianists

D．Skill—a key role in beginner pianists

23、When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn’t work out, you’ll have something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, “the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,” she recalls.

The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom, “I don’t know how to use a computer,” she admits.

Unlike her 1995 autobiography, after all, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says. “I didn’t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we’re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”

But she hasn’t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up-again-and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.

Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, ‘why me?’ about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn’t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I’ve come to realize the importance of that as I’ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be. ”

【1】Why did Mary feel regretful?

A．She didn’t complete her high school.

B．She didn’t follow her mother’s advice.

C．She didn’t take care of her mother.

D．She didn’t achieve her ambition.

【2】What can we know about Mary before 1995?

A．She had two books published.

B．She knew how to use a computer.

C．She supported the JDRF by writing.

D．She received many career awards.

【3】What is Mary's second book Growing Up Again mainly about?

A．Her remembrance of her mother.

B．Her successful show business.

C．Her living with diabetes.

D．Her service for an organization.

【4】What did Mary do when she received the life-changing news?

A．She began a balanced diet.

B．She behaved in an adult way.

C．She med to get a treatment.

D．She lost control of herself.

【5】What can we know from the last paragraph?

A．Mary wants to help others as much as possible.

B．Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

C．Mary has recovered from her disease.

D．Mary feels pity for herself.

24、Every language and culture has curse words (脏话). What gives a curse word its power is partly its meaning and partly its sound. “In English, for example, curse words tend to contain a high percentage of plosive sounds—including P, T and K,” said Ryan McKay, a psychologist at University of London.

Dr. McKay teamed up with his colleague Shiri Lev-Ari to learn whether this familiar pattern went beyond English. They wondered whether it might even represent what’s called sound symbolism. Sound symbolism is when a word sounds like what it means.

The researchers first asked fluent speakers of Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Korean and Russian to list the most vulgar (粗俗的) words they could think of. Once they’d made a list of each language’s most frequently used curse words, the researchers compared these with neutral words from the same language. In these languages, they didn’t find the plosive sounds that seem common in English curse words. “Instead, we found that the vulgar words were defined by what they lacked: the approximant sounds that include letters I, L, R, W and Y, ”Dr. Lev-Ari said.

Next, the scientists invited 215 native speakers of six languages: Arabic, Chinese, Finnish, French, German and Spanish. The participants listened to pairs of words in a language they didn’t speak, and guessed which word in each pair was offensive. In reality, all the words were invented. For example, the researchers started with the Albanian word “zog, ” for “bird, ”and created the pair of fake words “yog" and “tsog. ”Participants were more likely to guess that words without approximants, such as “tsog, ” were curses.

Finally, the researchers combed through the dictionary for English curse words and their cleaned-up versions. Once again, the clean versions included more of the sounds I, L, R, W and Y.

A 20th-century linguistic (语言学的)principle claimed that the sounds of words were arbitrary: Any word could have any meaning. With curse words, though, as in other cases of sound symbolism, “the sounds themselves seem to carry meaning, ”said Lev-Ari. “That’s a new thing, ”said linguist Benjamin Bergen. “Curse words across languages, unrelated to each other, may pattern similarly. ”He also pointed out, to make sure the pattern of approximants missing from curses isn’t an accident, it would be nice to find it in an even larger sample of languages.

【1】What is the purpose of McKay and Lev-Ari’s research?

A．To analyze a phenomenon.

B．To confirm an assumption.

C．To explain a definition.

D．To challenge a theory.

【2】What were the participants asked to do in the second part of the research?

A．To decide which curse words are used more frequently.

B．To make up new curse words from real words.

C．To guess a word’s offensiveness according to its sound.

D．To identify the approximants in curse words.

【3】According to Lev-Ari, which of the four is likely to sound offensive?

A．Tusck

B．Sola

C．Darn

D．Biach

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．The old linguistic principle of sounds and meanings is wrong.

B．In sound symbolism, a word’s sound represents its meaning.

C．The research reveals the similarities between different languages.

D．The result of the research is not fully accepted by scientists.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked (打屁股) my siblings, and me only once. Instead she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four.

In the early 70’s my mother attended college during the day and I was in day care. One day at day care I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked,  “Momma, are we going to McDonald’s for dinner?” The mother replied, “Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands (差事) and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.” “But I wanna go.” “Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow.” Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming, “I want to go to McDonald’s.”

No amount of pleading (恳求) or scolding her mother tried stopped Susie’s tantrum (发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, let’s go to McDonald’s.” Susie stopped yelling. With a smile on her face she grabbed her mother’s hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate (不准确的); I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum.

That day my mother picked me up early from day care because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the counter, I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone? ”

She replied, “Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you.” “But Mama, I want that telephone right now.” Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky, you can’t have that telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking.”
