Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Painting, the execution of forms
18、 and shapes on a surface by means of pigment（色素，颜料）, has been continuously practiced by humans for some 20,000 years. Together with other activities that may have been ritualistic（仪式的）in _41_ but have come to be described as artistic, painting was one of the earliest ways in which man sought to expr

And painting, like other arts, exhibits _44_ qualities that make it easy for viewers of all nations and civilizations to understand and a

28、sic study to academic achievement. But what is it about serious music training that seems to be associated with huge success in other fields? I put the question to outstanding professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious past lives as musicians.The phenomenon ex
29、tends beyond the math-music association. Strikingly, many high achievers told me music opened up the pathways to creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens other qualities: Collection. The ability to listen. A way of thinking that joins together separate ideas. The
30、 power to focus on the present and the future simultaneously.For many of the high achievers I spoke with, music functions as a “hidden language”, as Mr. Wolfensohn calls it, one that enhances the ability to connect separate or conflicting ideas. When he ran the world Bank, Mr. Wolfensohn traveled to
31、 more than 100 countries, often taking in local performers, which helped him understand “the culture of people, as distinct from their balance sheet.”It is in that context that the connection between math and music grabs the most attention. Both are at heart modes of expression. Bruce Kovner, the fo
32、under of the hedge fund（对冲基金）Caxton Associates, says he sees similarities between his piano playing and investing strategy; as he says, both “relate to pattern cognition, and some people extend these patterns across different senses.”For Roger McNamee, whose Elevation Partners is perhaps best known
33、for its early investment in Facebook, “music and technology have converged,” he says. He became expert on Facebook by using it to promote his hand, Moonalice, and now is focusing on video by live-streaming its concerts. He says musicians and top professionals share “the almost desperate need to dive
34、 deep.” This capacity to obsess seems to unite top performers in music and other fields.“Ive always believed the reason Ive gotten ahead is by outworking other people,” he says. Its a skill learned by “playing that solo one more time, working on that one little section one more time,” and it transla
35、tes into “working on something over and over again, or double-checking or triple-checking,” He adds, “there is nothing like music to teach you that eventually if you work hard enough, it does get better. You see the results.”Thats an observation worth remembering at a time when music as a serious pu

This is done while their moms are present, and they dont say anything. How do I ask my friends
40、to tell their kids that its rude to ask people for gifts? PaulDear Paul, Never mind the mothers,who are obviously not going to teach them manners. I suggest responding directly and pleasantly to the children with, “Whywere you planning to give me one?” Their astonishment should give you the opportun
41、ity to explain politely that we are not supposed to force others to give gifts and giving presents is generally expected to be mutual.Dear Miss Manners,I am celebrating a milestone birthday with a formal theme party at a club. The time of the party is 7 p.m. to midnight. It includes a cocktail hour
42、at 7, with dinner following. Can I add the 7 p.m. cocktail hour to the invitation? I would hate guests to misunderstand and think that they could arrive anytime between 7 and midnight. CarolineDear Caroline, The temptation to tellones guests when they are expected to leave is one with which Miss Man
43、ners sympathizes. Clear signals are often neglected. If the hosts do not rise from the table to announce coffee in the living room as the final act, guests feel awkward about being the first to get up. And then some people just never know when to go home. However, putting both starting and finishing
44、 times on an invitation, often done for cocktail parties, indeed suggests that they may arrive during the eventnot toward its end, to be sure, but not necessarily at the starting point. You are giving a dinner party, so you should inform your guests that it will start at 7, as drinks before the meal
45、 are part of the routine. That tells them to arrive on timeand you can only hope that they will take themselves off at a decent hour.60. According to Miss Manners, the proper way to deal with a kid asking for gifts is _.A. to ignore the kids request for giftsB. to scold the kid for asking for presen
46、tsC. to tell kids gift giving is voluntary and two-wayD. to advise the kids mum to teach him proper manners61. Which of the following does Miss Manners advise you to do at a party?A. Suggest guests arriving during the event. B. Directly remind guests to leave at a proper time.C. Inform guests of bot
47、h starting and finishing hours.D. Give guests clear hint when they should leave the party.62. In witch part of a newspaper can you find this passage?A. Advice Section.B. Live Chats Section.C. Entertainment Section.D. Classified Ads Section.6062CDA （C） University educators largely think highly of the
48、 wonders of teaching through technology, but skeptics question whether something is lost when professors and lectures rely too heavily on electronic media or when interaction with students takes place remotely in cyberspace rather than the real space of the classroom. Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, the Prof
49、essor of Literature at Stanford University, is one such skeptic. “I think this enthusiastic and sometimes childish and blind pushing toward the more technology the better, the more websites the better teacher, and so forth, is very dangerous is, indeed, suicidal,” he indicates.However, Gumbrecht war
50、ns that there are few, if any, studies either supporting or rejecting the hypothesis that traditional ways of teaching are superior to teaching via the Internet. He says that he could point only to his “intuition that real classroom presence should be maintained,” and emphasizes the need for educato
51、rs to examine critically where technology serves a useful pedagogical (教学法的) function and where it does not. Yet, Gumbrecht allows that, for courses in which knowledge transmission is the sole purpose, electronic media probably can do the job well enough. Indeed, given the 20th centurys knowledge ex
52、plosion and the increasing costs of higher education, using technology as opposed to real-life teachers for the transmission of information is probably inevitable, he admits. In any case, knowledge transmission should not be the core function of the university, he maintains, noting that universities
53、 should be places where people confront open questions, places for “intellectual complexity” and “riskful thinking”. “We are not about finding or transmitting solutions; we are not about recipes; we are not about making intellectual life easy. Confrontation with complexity is what expands your mind.
54、 It is something like intellectual gymnastics. And this is what makes you a suitable member of the society.”Moreover, discussions in the physical presence of others can lead to the intellectual innovation. “Theres a qualitative change, and you dont know how it happens. Discussions in the physical pr
55、esence have the capacity of being the catalyst (催化剂) for such intellectual breakthroughs. The possibility of in-classroom teaching of letting something happen which cannot happen if you teach by the transmission of information is a strength.” 63. Which of the following is the best title to this pass
56、age? A. Cyberspace Interaction B. The Core Function of the University C. Information Transmission Cannot Help You Survive D. Electronic Teaching Arouses Uncertainty 64. Which of the following might Professor Gumbercht support? A. Professors should be keen on teaching technique innovation.B. Technolo
57、gies applied to classrooms strength creative thinking.C. Traditional pedagogical function has its place in classroom.D. The core function of the university is to focus on knowledge transmitting. 65. Cyberspace teaching could replace real-life teachers EXCEPT when _. A. transmitting knowledge is the
58、only purpose of the course B. theres too much knowledge to put across to the students C. the cost of college education increases greatly D. open questions without possible answers are encouraged 66. According to the passage, discussion in the physical presence of others can _. A. lead to greatly imp

62、es.Life would be a lot sweeter if you were a memory athlete. Most of us however, are not wired that way. But dont be discouraged: thanks to neuroplasticity, anyone can transcend their fallible memory. _67_There are a few relatively simple things a person can do to help improve their memory function.
63、 First up, the basics: the foundation of good memory is good health. _68_Then there are more deliberate approaches like practicing mnemonics. A mnemonic device is a trick designed to make remembering things easier. So instead of remembering to buy eggs, rice, apples and dog food, it might be easier
64、to think of READ, which stands for rice, eggs, apples, and dog food. This is the acrostic method._69_ Lets use the same shopping list as an example. Instead of focusing on the word rice, this technique works by focusing on the image of rice thrown on the ground in a yard. For eggs, picture a hen pec
65、king at the rice, followed by a nearby tree of apple blossoms, the petals falling around the hen, falling on a sleeping dog. Once the interconnected scene is created its a simple visual to ease your way around the halls of the grocery store with no list needed. This technique, where you base a memor
66、y around visual images, is more formally called method of loci.A recent study published in Neuron has unearthed some interesting insights about the brains of competitive memorizers. The researchers invited 23 of the worlds top 50 memory athletes to have their brains scanned in rest states, and while
67、 performing memory tests, and matched each champion to a control participant. Anatomically, the scans showed there was no difference in brain structure or region size between the groups. _70_ And whats more, after they gave the naive control group training in the method of loci, their neural connect

Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. “There is a senseless concept that children grow up and
69、 leave home when they are 18, and the truth is far from that,” says sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin. Today, unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents. Analysts raised a variety of reasons for this return to the nest. One important reason is that the ma
70、rriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people, which is second to skyrocketing housing costs to which young people find their wings attached. Besides, a high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed
71、 and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters. For some, the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools. Living at home, says Knighton, a school teacher, continues to give her security and moral support. Her mother agree
72、d, “It is ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent. It makes sense for kids to stay at home.” But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all. There are the quarrels over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. Some families, however, manage the delicate balancing act. But for othe
73、rs, it proves too difficult. Michelle Del Turco, 24, has been home three times and left three times. “What I considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol problem,” she explains. “He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away to meet them at friends houses.”It is really hard
74、to say how long adult children should live with their parents before moving on. Nevertheless, it is commonly recognized that lengthy homecomings are a mistake and they accidentally destroy the advantage of brief visits that will strengthen the relationship between parents and children. Children, str

80、ording to the instructions given below in Chinese.假如你是明启中学的李华，你的朋友李楠给你写了一封信，告诉你他要开发一个新的APP，用这个软件共享衣服，想要征集大家的看法，你是否愿意共享你的衣服，给出理由（信的格式已给）。Dear Li Nan,Hearing that you plan to develop a new app of students sharing clothes, I feel truly proud of your novel idea. Personally speaking, I am willing to shar
81、e my clothes on your app. The reasons are as follows.To begin with, it will be wonderful for me if I learn that someone that I barely know of can share my happiness of wearing my clothes. It feels like you are emotionally connecting someone in your clothes. Then I may naturally wish to know more abo
82、ut that particular “someone” and probably further deepen our relationship. In the end, a good friendship between me and my clothes mate might be built based on our common clothes. Whats more, if other students can try my clothes through the app. In turn, I also can try their new clothes. Therefore,
83、students can wear different types of clothes without actually spending any money.Whats more important is that sharing my clothes will take full use of them. In todays material society, there are so many parents who prepare lots of clothes for their beloved children for different occasions, such as a dress for the party, gym suit for indoor sports. Moreover, the clothes can only realize their true value after they are put on a persons body.To summarize, sharing my clothes on your app benefits others and me. Yours,Li Hua
