In 1848 gold was found in California. Thousands of people rushed there to get some. Many people liked living there. But there wasn’t a whole lot between California (CA) and Missouri (MO), where the nearest trains ran. The train line to California wasn’t finished until 1869.
In I860 and 1861, the Pony Express was the fastest way to get news to and from the West. The trail that they rode was around 2000 miles long. It took most people weeks or months to ride that far. The Pony Express could make the trip in just ten days. Those speeds were unheard of at the time. So how did they do it Well, they had a good system.
The Pony Express had 184 stations along the trail. The stations were around ten miles apart. This is about how far a horse could run at a gallop (疾驰) before tiring. The rider would switch to a new horse at each station. He would only take his mail pouch (邮袋) with him. Every 75-100 miles, the rider would get to a home station. At each home station, riders would rest. The mail never stopped moving, even while the horses and riders rested.
It was tough to ride for the Pony Express. Each rider had to weigh less than 125 pounds. Speed was the key. Most of the riders were teenage boys. They rode at a fast pace for up to 100 miles a day. If there were an emergency, one might have to ride 200 miles in a day.
The Pony Express filled an important role for a time, but it did not last. The Civil War started in April of 1861. On October 24th, 1861, the first telegraph line to California was finished. This linked them to the rest of the country. People could send messages in an instant. Two days later the Pony Express closed.
4. Which happened first
A. The Pony Express was started. B. The American Civil War broke out.
C. The train line to California was finished. D. Settlers rushed to California to find gold.
5. How long did it take the Pony Express to send mail from CA to MO
A. About 24 hours. B. About ten days.
C. About twenty days. D. About one month.
6. What would a rider do at the home station
A. Give his mail to a new rider. B. Rest a while and go on riding.
C. Collect new mail for customers. D. Feed the horse and check the mail.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To prove communication industry develops rapidly.
B. To explain why horses were used to deliver mail.
C. To describe the I860 - 1861E Fastest Mail Service.
D. To tell the brave stories of the Pony Express.

Traveling by subway can sometimes be quite an adventure, especially during rush hour. There are the times when you have to avoid cups of coffee that could spill (溅) on you. The smells of some passengers’ food are very strong, too. According to the Beijing subway passenger regulations, which went into effect on May 15th, passengers except babies and the sick are no longer allowed to eat or drink on the subway. Violators (违反者) who do not stop after being asked to will be asked to get off. The violation will also be recorded in the violators’ credit record.
Some support the rule. The reason is that the smell of food and drink can annoy other passengers. “The smell of food fills the carriage, causing people discomfort, especially in the hot summer, Besides, eating on the subway produces rubbish. And on subway trains, people often spill their drinks,” said Zheng Yiou, 17, a student from Hefei.
However, others question this rule. “Some citizens live so far from their work places that they have limited time to have breakfast before they go to work. Eating while they travel saves them time and decreases the chance that they will be late for work,” He Songlin, a 17-year-old student from Chengdu said, “And some people, like those with low- blood sugar levels, get sick if they can’t eat when they must.”
Other Chinese cities like Nanjing and Chengdu have similar regulations. Some foreign cities also ban eating and drinking on the subway. For example, eating and drinking have long been banned on the subway in Washington DC. Singapore fines people who eat or drink on the subway up to 500 Singapore dollars, which is RMB 2,417 yuan.
Chen Yanyan, a professor from Beijing University of Technology, believed we should consider the need of some people to eat or drink on the subway. “Commuters (上班族) and travelers are sometimes too busy to eat. Maybe we could learn from Tokyo, where there are many subway stations equipped with services, allowing passengers to eat and drink,” she said.
8. In which city was subway passenger regulations carried out on May 15th
A. Chengdu. B. Nanjing.
C. Washington DC. D. Beijing.
9. What’s the punishment for the passengers who break the rules in Singapore
A. Eating on the subway. B. Drinking on the subway.
C. Being fined up to 2417 yuan. D. Being asked to get off the train.
10. What is Chen Yanyan’s attitude to eating or drinking on the subway
A. Worried. B. Sympathetic.
C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested
11. What would be the best title for the text
A Food and Drink Banned on Subway.
B. The Adventure of Subway Traveling
C. Ways to Eat and Drink on Subway.
D. The Services on Subway Stations
D
From Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Many believe that music helps inspire creativity, but an international Study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that idea.
Psychologists from Lancaster University, The University of Gavle, and The University of Central Lancashire say that their findings indicate music actually prevents creativity.
To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal insight(洞察) problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music "significantly impaired( 削弱)" the participants' ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity.
The research team also tested background noises such as those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no impact on subjects' creativity.
The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word associated with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be "sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc.)
Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music; music with unfamiliar lyrics, instrumental music, or music with familiar lyrics.
"We found strong evidence of impaired performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions," says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.
Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues theorize that music interferes (干 扰) with the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, as far as the library background noise having seemingly no effect, the study's authors believe that was the case because library noises create a "steady state" environment that doesn't prevent concentration.
It's worth mentioning that even familiar music with well known lyrics impaired participants creativity, regardless of whether or not it produced a positive reaction, or whether participants typically studied or created while listening to music.
"To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music inspires creativity, and instead show that music, regardless of the presence of semantic(语义的) content (no lyrics, familiar lyrics or unfamiliar lyrics), always prevent creative performance in insight problem solving", the study reads.
12. What conclusion can most probably be drawn from this passage
A. Background music inspires creativity.
B. Background music impairs creativity.
C. Background noises have bad influence on creativity.
D. Different music has different effects on creativity.
13. The participants were asked to______________.
A do some reading in a library
B. design some verbal insight problems
C. do some word games
D. listen to some background music
14. Why can't the participants perform well
A. Because the music prevents concentration.
B. Because they aren't familiar with music.
C. Because the tasks are too challenging
D. Bee the background is not creative.
15. Which of the connections about background music with their learning effects is true
A. The music with a positive reaction has a positive effect.
B. The effects depend on the contents of music.
C. Quiet music does good to learning effects.
D. All background music is bad for learning effects.

In 1848 gold was found in California. Thousands of people rushed there to get some. Many people liked living there. But there wasn’t a whole lot between California (CA) and Missouri (MO), where the nearest trains ran. The train line to California wasn’t finished until 1869.
In I860 and 1861, the Pony Express was the fastest way to get news to and from the West. The trail that they rode was around 2000 miles long. It took most people weeks or months to ride that far. The Pony Express could make the trip in just ten days. Those speeds were unheard of at the time. So how did they do it Well, they had a good system.
The Pony Express had 184 stations along the trail. The stations were around ten miles apart. This is about how far a horse could run at a gallop (疾驰) before tiring. The rider would switch to a new horse at each station. He would only take his mail pouch (邮袋) with him. Every 75-100 miles, the rider would get to a home station. At each home station, riders would rest. The mail never stopped moving, even while the horses and riders rested.
It was tough to ride for the Pony Express. Each rider had to weigh less than 125 pounds. Speed was the key. Most of the riders were teenage boys. They rode at a fast pace for up to 100 miles a day. If there were an emergency, one might have to ride 200 miles in a day.
The Pony Express filled an important role for a time, but it did not last. The Civil War started in April of 1861. On October 24th, 1861, the first telegraph line to California was finished. This linked them to the rest of the country. People could send messages in an instant. Two days later the Pony Express closed.

Traveling by subway can sometimes be quite an adventure, especially during rush hour. There are the times when you have to avoid cups of coffee that could spill (溅) on you. The smells of some passengers’ food are very strong, too. According to the Beijing subway passenger regulations, which went into effect on May 15th, passengers except babies and the sick are no longer allowed to eat or drink on the subway. Violators (违反者) who do not stop after being asked to will be asked to get off. The violation will also be recorded in the violators’ credit record.
Some support the rule. The reason is that the smell of food and drink can annoy other passengers. “The smell of food fills the carriage, causing people discomfort, especially in the hot summer, Besides, eating on the subway produces rubbish. And on subway trains, people often spill their drinks,” said Zheng Yiou, 17, a student from Hefei.
However, others question this rule. “Some citizens live so far from their work places that they have limited time to have breakfast before they go to work. Eating while they travel saves them time and decreases the chance that they will be late for work,” He Songlin, a 17-year-old student from Chengdu said, “And some people, like those with low- blood sugar levels, get sick if they can’t eat when they must.”
Other Chinese cities like Nanjing and Chengdu have similar regulations. Some foreign cities also ban eating and drinking on the subway. For example, eating and drinking have long been banned on the subway in Washington DC. Singapore fines people who eat or drink on the subway up to 500 Singapore dollars, which is RMB 2,417 yuan.
Chen Yanyan, a professor from Beijing University of Technology, believed we should consider the need of some people to eat or drink on the subway. “Commuters (上班族) and travelers are sometimes too busy to eat. Maybe we could learn from Tokyo, where there are many subway stations equipped with services, allowing passengers to eat and drink,” she said.
8. In which city was subway passenger regulations carried out on May 15th
A. Chengdu. B. Nanjing.
C. Washington DC. D. Beijing.
9. What’s the punishment for the passengers who break the rules in Singapore

From Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Many believe that music helps inspire creativity, but an international Study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that idea.
Psychologists from Lancaster University, The University of Gavle, and The University of Central Lancashire say that their findings indicate music actually prevents creativity.
To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants complete verbal insight(洞察) problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music "significantly impaired( 削弱)" the participants' ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity.
The research team also tested background noises such as those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no impact on subjects' creativity.
The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word associated with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be "sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc.)
Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music; music with unfamiliar lyrics, instrumental music, or music with familiar lyrics.
"We found strong evidence of impaired performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions," says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.
Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues theorize that music interferes (干 扰) with the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, as far as the library background noise having seemingly no effect, the study's authors believe that was the case because library noises create a "steady state" environment that doesn't prevent concentration.
It's worth mentioning that even familiar music with well known lyrics impaired participants creativity, regardless of whether or not it produced a positive reaction, or whether participants typically studied or created while listening to music.
"To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music inspires creativity, and instead show that music, regardless of the presence of semantic(语义的) content (no lyrics, familiar lyrics or unfamiliar lyrics), always prevent creative performance in insight problem solving", the study reads.
12. What conclusion can most probably be drawn from this passage
A. Background music inspires creativity.
B. Background music impairs creativity.
C. Background noises have bad influence on creativity.
D. Different music has different effects on creativity.
13. The participants were asked to______________.
A. do some reading in a library
B. design some verbal insight problems
C. do some word games
D. listen to some background music
14 Why can't the participants perform well
A. Because the music prevents concentration.
B. Because they aren't familiar with music.
C. Because the tasks are too challenging
D. Bee the background is not creative.
15. Which of the connections about background music with their learning effects is true
A The music with a positive reaction has a positive effect.
B. The effects depend on the contents of music.
C. Quiet music does good to learning effects.
D. All background music is bad for learning effects.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。普遍的观点认为音乐有助于激发创造力， 但研究表明，背景音乐会阻碍人们的创造力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“their findings indicate music actually prevents creativity.（他们的发现表明音乐实际上会抑制创造力。）”和第三段中“They found that background music "significantly impaired( 削弱)" the participants' ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity. （他们发现背景音乐“严重削弱”参与者的完成与语言创造力有关的任务）”可知，背景音乐会阻碍人们的创造力。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中描述的实验过程“The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word associated with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. …(参与者需要完成的任务是一些简单的文字游戏。例如，给参与者三个单词，如dress（裙子）、dial（表盘）和flower（花）。然后，他们被要求找到一个与所有三个词相关的单词，这三个词都可以与其组合成一个常见短语或单词。)”。可知，在实验中，要求参与者作一些简单的文字游戏。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。第七段中提到“We found strong evidence of impaired performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions"（有证据表明，与安静的环境相比，播放背景音乐会影响人的表现）”；以及第八段中“Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues theorize that music interferes (干 扰) with the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. （McLatchie博士和他的同事认为，音乐干扰了大脑的语言工作记忆过程，阻碍了创造力。）”，由此可知，参与者表现不好是因为背景音乐影响了他们的注意力的集中。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“the findings here…instead show that music, regardless of the presence of semantic(语义的) content (no lyrics, familiar lyrics or unfamiliar lyrics), always prevent creative performance in insight problem solving study reads.( 这些发现反而证明了无论音乐的内容是什么（有没有歌词、歌词熟不熟悉），音乐总是会干扰人们解决洞察力问题时创造力的表现。”)”可以推断，所有的背景音乐对学习效果都有不好的影响。故选D项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了《新民晚报》编辑曹正文对冰心等许多文化人物的采访并邀请他们为报纸撰稿，他后来选择并编辑了他们的生活故事，并将其编入《文化偶像访谈记录》一书，传递了“生活中最令人愉快的事情就是读书”的信念。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：“没有什么比读书更能使我们开心了。”冰心在1987年表达了这种信念。this后面使用名词，believe的名词是belief，它在this后面，应使用单数形式。故填belief。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：娱乐新闻增加了，这很好，但是我坚信生活中最令人愉快的事情就是读书。副词作状语修饰形容词。故填firmly。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：曹对冰心的采访发生在《自娱自乐》这本书出版大约两年之后。由句意及was published可知，主句中的谓语take place，应使用一般过去时。故填took。
【44题详解】
考查动名词。句意：它批评电视削弱了书籍所代表的理性思维。介词for后面使用动词时，应将动词改为动名词的形式。故填weakening。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：为了鼓励更多的人阅读，曹在1986年的《新民晚报》上推出了“阅读的乐趣”部分。此处为特指意义，应使用定冠词the。故填the。
【46题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在这个栏目传承和越来越受人欢迎的22年中，他采访了许多文化人物并邀请他们为报纸撰稿。分析句子结构，years后面是一个定语从句，先行词years在从句中作状语，应使用when引导。故填when。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在这个栏目传承和越来越受人欢迎的22年中，他采访了许多文化人物并邀请他们为报纸撰稿。invite sb. to do sth.“邀请某人去做某事”。故填to write。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意：借助曹的努力，今天的读者可以难得一见的是典型的中国知识分子的精神世界，一个朴素，敢于牺牲和无私的世界。形容词在句中作定语修饰world。故填spiritual。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意：这本书不仅告诉我们他们在阅读中有多快乐，而且还告诉我们他们在困难的环境中的生活如何。分析句子结构可知，此处需要填入介词。in/under difficult conditions“在困难的环境中”。故填in/under。
【50题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：换句话说，这本书除了教我们如何阅读以及阅读什么，还教我们如何让自己表现得更优秀一些。反身代词通常是用来加强语气的，意思是“亲自，本身”，根据句意可知，此处使用反身代词在人称和数上要与us保持一致。故填ourselves。

As the Internet becomes the more and more popular, some students can’t help play online games or chatting.

【答案】1.去掉the
2.play→playing
3.was→is
4.seriously→serious
5.Which→What
6.addicting→addicted
7.his→their
8.teacher→teachers
9.but→and
10.instead后添加of
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了随着互联网变得越来越流行，一些学生禁不住要玩网络游戏或聊天。这不仅浪费时间还严重损害他们的健康。文章就如何帮助这些学生提出了一些建议。
【详解】1.考查冠词。根据短语more and more表示“越来越……”，前面不需要冠词。故去掉the。
2.考查非谓语动词。根据短语can’t help doing sth.表示“禁不住做某事”。故play改为playing。
3.考查动词时态。此处描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为It，谓语动词用is。故was改为is。
4.考查形容词。修饰名词problem应用形容词serious，表示“严重的”。故seriously改为serious。
5.考查连接词。此处为主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指代事情应用what引导。句首字母要大写。故Which改为What。
6.考查形容词。句意：教师首先应该做的是找出是什么使他们沉迷于电脑游戏。根据短语be addicted to表示“上瘾，沉迷于……”，本句为形容词短语作宾语补足语。故addicting改为addicted。
7.考查代词。根据句意“缺乏来自他们父母的爱？”此处指那些沉迷于电脑游戏的学生，应用their。故his改为their。
8.考查名词的数。teacher为可数名词，前文没有冠词修饰，故用复数形式,表示老师们。故teacher改为teachers。
9.考查连词。句意：其次，教师应该帮助他们建立信心，使他们对学习感兴趣。结合句意可知上下文为承接关系，应用连词and。故but改为and。
10.考查固定短语。后文playing computer games为动名词短语，应用介词短语instead of。故instead后添加of。
【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点：
一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句；
二、连接词从句中充当的成分（主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分）；
三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意，近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。
如第五小题，此处为主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指代事情应用what引导。句首字母要大写。故Which改为What。
