9、r to find Asia they had to find a way past South America（南美洲）. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean（大西洋） to the Pacific（太平洋） was Ferdinand Magellan (麦哲伦). Magellan sailed from Seville in August, 1519 with 5 ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending（度过） the c
10、old winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered（发现） the channel（河道） which is now called Magellan Strait (海峡). In November, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the 3 remaining（剩下的） ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America. They then continued（继续）, hoping to
11、 reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines (菲律宾), men were dying of starvation (饥饿). While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining off
12、icers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellans exploration. However, their achievement（成就） was great. They were the first men to sail r
13、ound the world.24. The purpose of Magellans exploration was to _. A. find a seaway（海路） from the Atlantic to the Pacific. B. sail round the world.C. carry men to Philippines. D. make a voyage to Asia. 25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage concerning（与.有关） the exploration?A. Cold

The Discovery of Magellans StraitCHave you ever found yourself in this situation（情形）: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast（冲击波） from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant（遥远的）
16、childhood memory（童年回忆）. The words（歌词） come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember
17、even one of the most difficult languages. Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults（成年人） and randomly（随机地） divided（划分） them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat（听及重复）” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the wo
18、rds. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm（伴着节奏）. And they asked the third group to sing the words. All three groups studied words from the Hungarian（匈牙利的） language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of（一系列的） language tests（测试） to see what they remembered. Why Hungarian,
19、 you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots（根系） with Germanic（德国的） or Romance（罗马的） languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out（出现） on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian
20、words by singing them showed a higher overall（全面的） performance（表现）. They did the best in most of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply（仅仅） learned the words by speaking them. Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain li
21、kes to remember things when they are contained（包含） in a catchy（易记的） 3, or memorable（值得纪念的） 4, tune（曲调） 5. Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle（挣扎） to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburghs website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental（实验
22、的） evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area（领域）.”28. The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to_. A. recall（回忆） the past B. attract the readers C. introduce（引进） the topic D. compare the
23、 childhood with the present29. According to the passage which language doesnt share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages? A. Hungarian. B. Spanish. C. Italian. D. English.30. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude（总结） that _. A. singing is not the best way to learn a language.
24、 B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words. C. a listen-repeat method is very complex（复杂的） for any language learner. D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree（不同意） with each other.31. In which situation can the finding（发现） of the research be applied（应用）? A. A
25、 mother is going to teach her baby how to speak. B. A child is going to have his first music lesson. C. A student is going to learn a new English song. D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.DThe average（平均） American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average chi
26、ld began to watch television at age three, however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has a bad influence（影响） on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight（视力） was the result of sitting too close to the screen（屏幕）, and the
27、y therefore made my stay at least six feet（英尺） from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous （荒谬的）sayings have appeared:* TV makes kids stupid（愚蠢的）. Many children watch more educational（教育性的） programs（节目） when they are pre-schoolers（学龄前儿童）. When they grow up, they can read
28、more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.* TV makes kids violent（暴力的）. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive （好斗的）. But a study of over 5000 children also finds that some posi
29、tive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly（越来越） watching shows with violence instead of those suitable（合适的） for their age. * Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight（超重）. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra（额外的）
30、weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in（在于） snacking, a widespread（广泛传播的） habit for kids, and junk food（垃圾食品） advertisements. * TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite（相反的） is true. The more television children watch, the more likely
31、they are to have irregular（不规律的） sleep and nap （小睡）patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution. 32 .
