“Our results suggest it’s better to start musical training before seven, which agrees with what most piano teachers recommend,” she added. She hoped the results might help parents decide when was the best for their children to learn an instrument.
The brain’s cortex(皮層) plays a leading role in one’s abilities, from thought and language to memory and attention. The area matures rapidly in the early years of life, and its development could be affected more if a person starts musical training before it fully matures.
Wang studied 48 Chinese students aged between 19 and 21 who had received formal music training for at least a year sometime between the ages of 3 and 15. Each had a scan to measure the thickness of the brain’s cortex.
After considering sex and the number of years spent having music lessons, Wang found that musical training that started before seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive function, which is a person’s ability to plan and accomplish tasks.
“We’re not sure why these changes occur, but a reasonable explanation is that early starters might depend more on hearing clues(線索) when learning music, since it might be more difficult for younger children to read music,” Wang said.
1. According to the researchers, musical training before the age of seven can _______________.
A. contribute to future work. B. create a successful life
C. develop all-round abilities D. deal with puzzling problem
2. When conducting the research with the students, Wang __________.
A. tested their language abilities
B. watched their musical performances
C. focused on school behavior and achievements
D. measured the thickness of the brain’s cortex
3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____________.
A. it must be hard for kids to read music
B. kids are more likely to learn music by hearing
C. Wang’s explanation has been the most reasonable
D. Wang will research into the reasons for the brain change
4. For what purpose does the author write the text?
A. To describe the development of brain.
B. To challenge the previous discoveries.
C. To present the findings of the research.
D. To give advice on how to learn music.

2016高考訓(xùn)練題----閱讀理解。
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C、D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
PEOPLE may use the expression “birdbrain” in English to talk about someone who is stupid, but crows prove that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies(類推法) .
To test this ability in animals, scientists do “relational matching-to-sample (RMTS)”tests. If a pair was AA, for example, then picking BB to match it would be correct.
An international team led by Edward Wasserman in the US first trained two crows to match things by color, shape, and number in what is called“ identity matching-to-sample (IMTS)” , then moved onto RMTS.
For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plastic tray that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample card. The cups on either side were covered with the other two cards. One was the same as the sample, while the other wasn’ t. The cup with the card that matched the sample card contained two worms to eat.
In the second part of the experiment, the birds were tested with relational matching pairs. A card with two same- sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles.
The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time.
Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS. He said in a news release: “Honestly, if it was only by force that the crows showed this learning, then it would have been an impressive result. But this was spontaneous.”
So perhaps it’ s time to stop saying ” birdbrain” permanently.
28. Why does the author mention the expression “birdbrain” in the opening paragraph?
A. To get the reader interested in the origins of the expression.
B. To urge people to stop saying that birds are stupid.
C. To introduce the topic of Edward Wasserman and his experiment.
D. To introduce recent findings about crow’ s intelligence.
29. Which of the following is TURE about the tests on the crows?
A. The birds did better in RMTS than in IMTS.
B. The birds were first made to do RMTS, then IMTS.
C. The birds picked almost all the correct cards in RMTS
D. In the IMTS test, the birds needed to identify the sample card to get rewards.
30. The underlined word“spontaneous”is closest in meaning ______.
A. natural B. creative C. typical D. brilliant
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Crows show cleverness.
B. Crows may understand analogies.
C. Crows did well in RMTS.
D. Apes and monkeys are cleverer than crows.

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
For eighty four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish. At first a young boy, Manolin, had shared his bad fortune, but after the fortieth luckless day the boy’s father told his son to go in another boat. From that time on, Santiago worked alone. The boy loved the old fisherman and always helped him with money and food. Usually, they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball after supper, while at night, alone in his cottage, Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa, where he had gone years before. He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.
On the eighty-fifth day, Santiago set off to fish before dawn. Two of his baits(餌) were fresh tunas(金槍魚) the boy had given him, as well as sardines(沙丁魚) to cover his hooks. Then he set his lines which went straight down into deep dark water.
As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore. A bird showed him where dolphin were chasing some flying fish. This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight. A small one took the hook on his line. Pulling the fish aboard, the old man thought it a good fortune.
Toward noon a marlin, a common fish in the sea, started eating the bait which was one hundred meters down. Gently the old man played the fish, a big one, as he knew from the weight on the line. At last he struck to settle the hook. The fish did not come out of the surface. Instead, it began to pull the boat to the northwest. The old man followed it. Although he was alone and no longer strong, he had his skill and knew many tricks. He waited patiently for the fish to be tired .
It was cold after the sunset. When something took one of his remaining baits, he cut the line with his knife. Once the marlin leaned suddenly, pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek. By dawn his left hand was cramped(抽筋的). The fish had headed northward; there was no land in sight. Hungry, he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly.
That morning the fish jumped. Seeing it, Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had ever seen. Then the fish went down and turned toward the east. Santiago drank a little water from the bottle during the hot afternoon.
Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had rebaited. He lifted it aboard, careful. After he had rested, he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its stomach. That night he slept. He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped. Feeding line slowly, he tried to tire the marlin. After the fish slowed its run, he washed his cut hands in sea water and ate one of the flying fish. At sunrise the marlin began to circle. Faint, he worked to bring the big fish nearer with each turn. Almost exhausted, he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon(魚叉). The fish was two feet longer than the boat. No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor.
An hour later, he sighted the first shark, a fierce Mako, and it came in fast to chase after the dead marlin. The old man struck the shark with his harpoon. The Mako rolled and sank, carrying the harpoon with it and leaving the marlin bloody. He knew the smell would spread. Watching, he saw two sharks closing in. He struck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water. The other he killed while it tore at the flesh of the marlin. When the third appeared, he thrust(刺) it with the knife. The other sharks came at sunset. At first he tried to beat them with the tiller(舵柄) from the boat, but his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea. In the darkness, as he steered toward the harbor of Havana, he heard them hitting the boat again and again. But the old man thought only of his steering and his great tiredness. He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him. He knew they would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin.
All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat. He could just make out the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish. Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently until he could gather his strength to go on. In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep.

【參考答案】55、C 56---60 ADCDB
閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
Census figures (調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)) published last Friday indicate that the number of women in management jobs rose by 95% between 1980 and 1990. Most evidence shows that women are still in the lowest class of management and in the lowest-paying industries.
I first noticed that girls were different from boys when I was about 4 years old. No experiences either in my personal life or in my business life have caused me to change my opinion. Throughout my adult life, however, I have had to evaluate again and again these differences between men and women and how they affect the way men and women relate to one another and to the environment in which they work. Working with women has given me deep understanding I would never have gained in any other way.
Women are working at a decided disadvantage in the business world created by men to make things comfortable for men. To me, this means men often understand the rules without having to be taught or even having to think about them. It is not so easy for women. If I may fall back on typically male sports terms, women have had to learn both the game and the game plan at the same time.
At least in my own observation, women in business tend to be more honest than men. A direct question to a woman often results in a direct response. This quality makes it more difficult for women to “yes” an employer. It also makes women more trustworthy than the men who often can’t, or won’t, give a straight answer to a question. Women are also more open than men about their feelings, their ambitions, and everyday situations in the office. This makes them easier to be hurt than men. Traditionally, women in business have been more severely judged than men. They have had to be better in a job than a man to get ahead.
41.What is this passage mainly about?
A.the unfair treatment the working women suffering in business
B.the differences between working men and women
C.the qualities of the working men and women
D.the author’s pity on the working women
42.The author mentions the “sports terms” to show that __________.
A.women are more diligent than men
B.women are often looked down upon by men
C.women are slower in learning new things than men
D.men always make things comfortable for themselves
43.How many good qualities of women are mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
44.Which of the following will most probably be the first sentence of the fifth paragraph?
A.For example, I have interviewed many people for the job of advertising salesperson.
B.Another difference between working men and women is that men take more chances.
C.Of all the differences that I have noticed, one in particular stands out.
D.On the other hand, men also enjoy more rights than women.
