二、阅读理解

For some people,music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes(音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.

As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret,a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.

Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn't involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can't see. certain colors.

Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say,” No thanks, I'm amusic,'“says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”

7. Which of the following is true of amusic?

A．Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.

B．They love places where they are likely to hear music.

8. According to Paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who          .

B．can hear anything nonmusical

C．has a hearing problem

D．lacks a complex hearing system

9. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that         .

A．her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier

B．she were seventeen years old rather than seventy

C．her problem could be easily explained

D．she were able to meet other amusics

10. What is the passage mainly concerned with?

This is the digital age, and the advice to managers is clear. If you don’t know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper. Undoubtedly, it can serve as a useful reminder of where the digital world’s limitations lie. Several recent studies highlighted the enduring value of this ancient technology in several different aspects.

A study by Vicky Morwitz of Columbia Business School, Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters.

Here is another study from Maferima Touré-Tillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In one part of their study, the researchers asked strangers to take a survey. Half the respondents were given a pen and paper to fill out a form; the other half were handed an iPad. When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer. The researchers believe that people make better decisions on paper because it feels more consequential than a digital screen. Paper-and-pen respondents were more likely than iPad users to think their choices indicated their characters better.

Researchers had other findings. They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. Even the sight of someone handling something can help online sales. Similarly, people browsing(浏览) in a virtual-reality(虚拟现实) shop was more willing to buy a T-shirt if they saw their own virtual hand touch it.；

11. How does the author lead in the topic?

A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples.

C．By raising questions. D．By describing a situation.；

12. Why can paper calendars make users stick to plans better?

A．They are a better reminder.

B．They can show more detailed plans.

C．They provide chances for people to practice writing.

D．They provide a better view of many days’ plans at a time.；

13. Which of the following did paper influence based on Paragraph 3?

A．Decision.  B．Sympathy. 

C．Efficiency.  D．Responsibility.；

14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Paper posters will greatly promote sales online.

B．E-magazines are thought less valuable than paper ones.

C．Seeing others buy will increase one’s purchasing desire.

D．People prefer items made of paper instead of other materials.

A couple of days ago, there were many people on the bus. Halfway down the road, the driver suddenly stopped the bus by the side of the road and said, “I’m going to have dinner first. I’m hungry. ” Then he began to eat fried rice noodles while talking on the phone. After a while, many passengers urged (催促) the driver to go ahead, but the driver replied rudely, “Can’t you see I’m enjoying my noodles? I’m so hungry.”

After a few minutes someone wanted to get off the bus, but was refused by the driver. He explained that nobody could get off because it was NOT a bus stop! Standing beside the driver, I watched him have the last of the noodles, thinking that we could finally start now. However, the driver took out another bag of soup!

I began to feel a little angry because I would be late for an important meeting. So I urged the driver to hurry up. However, the driver suggested politely that I should ask for a leave.

When the soup was about to be finished, the driver picked up the phone again, looking in the rear-view mirror (后视镜) from time to time as if he were waiting for someone. At this time all the passengers on the bus began to shout, “We have waited too long. Start right now!” Suddenly, a police car stopped in front of our bus. We all thought that the policemen could help us and we could go at once.

Paragraph 1.

To our surprise, the two policemen got on our bus with handcuffs (手铐).

Paragraph 2.

Watching the thieves having been caught by the policemen, all the passengers smiled with delight.

45. To our surprise, the two policemen got on our bus with handcuffs (手铐). “Ladies and gentlemen, just now we received a call saying there are two thieves on the bus, and someone’s mobile phone has been stolen.” Only at that time did we realize that the driver had informed the policemen of the theft. Then the driver locked the doors of the bus, while the policemen checked the passengers one by one, and found out the two thieves! Finally, the thieves were arrested and taken away.

Watching the thieves having been caught by the policemen, all the passengers smiled with delight. Obviously none of us had ever seen such a scene before, and we all showed our admiration to the driver in silence. Minutes later, the driver looked at me and smiled, “Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Do you still consider me as a rude guy?” I shook my head and said loudly, “Absolutely not, you are my hero!”
