Melbourne Star Observation Wheel D. Puffing Billy Railway B When I was first married to my wife, I lived and worked in Ontario, moving
21、 from small town to big city as I pursued my career as a radio broadcaster. We have two sons, both of whom were born in Toronto, but they moved, with us, to Ottawa when they were quite young. They grew up there, and then, chasing their own careers, they also moved. One went to Canadas east coast nea
22、r a city called Halifax and the other headed to the west coast to Vancouver. We had a dilemma; we were left in the middle. At the time I was still working and my job was in Ottawa. However, as we began to consider retirement we wondered where we should spend our final years. We couldnt be close to b
23、oth of our children and there was no telling when they might again relocate. For several reasons we settled on a small town on Vancouver Island. At least we were close to one of them. However, he had his sights set on Hollywood and, when an opportunity presented itself, he left Canada and headed sou
24、th. I helped him move. So, there we were, and still are, in our little west coast town. We love our little corner of paradise but we have paid a price. We have not been there for some important events such as the births of two of our grandchildren. We have missed watching each of them grow up; we ha
25、ve missed the normal, noisy households that have young people in them. Our home, while very comfortable, is also very quiet. Every fall we travel to see the children. We usually fly, first to California to see our son Scott and spend a week or more with him trying to catch up on everything weve miss
26、ed. Then, usually in November, we make the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and our grandchildren, who are now teenagers, actually into their twenties. They seldom come to visit us. The distances are just too great and it is costly. Fortunately, both our boys are doing well and our
27、grandchildren are growing up straight and tall. We love all of them and we are secure in the knowledge that they love us but the reality is that they dont need us. We have done our jobs and, at least in theory, we can sit back, relax and enjoy the time remaining to us. They have also missed having a
28、 set of parents and grandparents around. Life has been good for our family but we have all paid a price. 4. Whats the dilemma ( Pa. 1) to the author and his wife? A. The situation where they were not happy about their sons absence. B. The fact that they were unwilling to separate from their sons. C.
29、 The fact that they were not yet prepared for retirement at that time. D. The situation where they couldnt decide which son to live with. 5. The reason why the author says they have paid a price is that _. A. they have lost lots of money because of his retirement B. they have to pay a large sum of m
30、oney to their sons C. they have been absent from their childrens life D. they have to afford very expensive fare to visit their sons 6. Why do not the authors grandchildren visit them regularly? A. They are quite occupied with their homework. B. Its not easy for the kids to visit their grandparents.
31、 C. They dont need their grandparents any more. D. The weather of winter in Canada is very awful. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A Price to Pay B. Suffering Separation C. Love Actually D. Hidden Emotions C Many people believe that there is one form of their language that is more correct
32、than others.They may believe for example that British English is more correct than other varieties; or that written English is more correct than spoken English; or that standard spoken forms are more correct than dialect forms. Often this belief is supported by reference books to grammars, usage gui
33、des or dictionaries: if something goes against a rule in a grammar, or if the word isnt in the dictionary, it “must be wrong”. Since the reference books are most often based on observation of the standard written language (and not by a grammar book in the sky) , the argument is really circular: thes
34、e books will naturally describe standard usage, because that is what they are for; but this does not mean that there is anything wrong with other kinds of usage that are less often described. A better way of looking at things is to say that usage is “correct in its place”. Standard American English
35、is correct in America, British English is correct in Britain, spoken grammar is accepted in casual speech, and formal written grammar is employed in formal writing. The only forms that are wrong in all contexts(语境) are learners errors. For example: I have forgetting the your address, or One of your
36、chairs are broken. This means there is no answer to the question: “What kind of English should learners study?” It depends on their purposes. For many learners, the best model is one or other of the two main standard varieties : British or American English. Neither of these is “better” than the othe
37、r, and they are both used and understood worldwide. People are also worried by language change. If younger people “break” the rules that older people have learnt, or use language in new ways, older people often feel disturbed: they are concerned that younger people no longer know their grammar, and
38、that the language is going downhill. This is a needless worry: change is natural and inevitable, it cannot be stopped, and it does not generally affect a languages efficiency as a communicative tool. A great deal of modem English grammar would have been wrong three hundred years ago, and will perhap
39、s be wrong again three hundred years from now. 8. Why does the author think “the argument is really circular” (Pa.1) ? A. Learners are always confused by the reference books. B. Usages not mentioned in the reference books are not necessarily wrong. C. Nobody can challenge the authority of the refere
40、nce books. D. Some wrong usages can be found in the reference books. 9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. There is no “standard English”. B. American English is better than British English. C. A learner should master all the distinctions of different English. D. The differences between Britis
41、h English and American English. 10. The underlined word (Pa.3) can be most probably replaced with_ . A. unbelievable B. uncountable C. unacceptable D. unavoidable 11. What is the authors attitude towards the changes of English? A. Disturbed. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Aggressive. D Some creative
42、 people see colours when they hear different sounds. Others see colours when they see words and numbers printed in black and white. These interesting people are called synaesthetes, and what they experience is called synaesthesia. . A study at the University of Sussex is finding out how learning to
43、see sounds as colours or think of letters in colour could improve your IQ and memory. Study leaders Dr. Daniel Bor and Dr. Nicolas Rothen have been working on memory for a number of years. They want to see which parts of the brain do different jobs. Dr. Bor says that carrying out these tests has giv
44、en them the opportunity to find out more about how we use different kinds of memory. . He explains that Professor Simon Baron Cohen, of the University of Cambridge, was largely responsible for beginning the modem science of synaesthesia in the 1980s. His tests showed that synaesthesia was real, and
45、this made lots of scientists in different places want to do similar research. Information chunking Dr Bor based his latest research around something scientists already know a lot about “chunking”. He explains that this is a way of breaking large pieces of information into smaller units, to make it e
46、asier to remember. When I give you my phone number, 01274737215, you probably remember it as 012 74 73 72 15, or something similar. If you can remember 012 and the first 74, you can remember the rest. You can get some amazing benefits from chunking. This is really important for understanding synaest
47、hesia. Dr Bor says that synaesthesia adds extra information to things that are difficult to remember, such as letters and numbers, or extra colours. This helps us remember things better. . “All these signs are pointing towards synaesthesia being connected to greater abilities to do certain things, c
48、ertain jobs,” says Dr. Bor. “So, the study began as a way to test that.” They developed the study from an idea by Dr. Nicolas Rothen who had trained people for ten minutes a day for a week. The results were not huge, but they were interesting. They used those ideas in the study and they did see stro
49、ng benefits. . They discovered that, after training, people were able to pass the normal synaesthesia tests, and their IQ jumped up about 12 points! As Dr. Bor says, “Synaesthetes are really pleased and proud that they get a memory advantage and they see the world in this extra special way.” 12. The proper title of each part for the passage should be _. a. Amazing results b. The beginning of a science c. Training in Synaesthesia d. Studying memory A. -d -b -c -a B. -d -c
