18、. A newspaper.B. A guidebook.C. A magazine.D. A website.BThe Alexander techniqueUntil earlier this year, I didnt know anything about the Alexander techniqueand saw no reason to think I should. One day, the backache I regularly suffered was more painful. I was brought up to think that the preferred w
19、ay of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope theyll go away, but I eventually went to the doctor. After examining me, he said, “You actually have bad posture (姿势). Go off and learn the Alexander technique.” Three months later I could walk straighter and sit better.The Alexander technique is a
20、way of learning how you can get rid of harmful tension in your body. The teaching focuses on the neck, head and back. It trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort. There is little effort in the lessons themselves, which sets apart
21、the Alexander technique from yoga or pilates, which are exercise-based. A typical lesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to sit and stand with minimum effort. You spend some time lying on a bench with your knees bent to straighten the spine (脊椎) and relax your body while the teach
22、er moves your arms and legs to train you to move them correctly.The technique helps to break the bad habits accumulated over years. Try folding your arms the opposite way to normal. This is an example of a habit the body has formed which can be hard to break. Many of us carry our heads too far back.
23、 The head weighs four to six kilos, so any inappropriate posture can cause problems for the body. The technique teaches you to let go of the muscles holding the head back, allowing it to go back to its natural place on the top of our spines.So who was Alexander and how did he come up with the techni
24、que? Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (声音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results. He brought his technique to London and opened a teacher-traini
25、ng school, which is still successful today.So if youre walking along the road one day with shoulders bent forward, feeling weighed down by your troubles, give a thought to the Alexander technique. It will help you walk tall again.24.What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1?A. She felt no better a

29、pain are victims of inappropriate postures.CThe problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they dont know. By next year，half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈).We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and devel
30、oping a group of tools，apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately，its too little，too late. By the time these “solutions(解决方案)become widely available，scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future，its not just going to be the number you see
31、on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice youre hearing is actually real.Thats because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation ( 处理 ) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use .At this years I/O Confere
32、nce ,a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are
33、 a headache has less to do with amount than precision A decade of data breaches(数据侵入)of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother s name ，and far more. Armed with this knowledge. theyre able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. T
34、his means. for example，that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller s，ricking you into confirming your address，mothers name，and card number. Scammers follow money，so companies will be the worst hit. A lo
35、t of business is still done over the phone，and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of deter
36、mining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by. or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communicationsusing apps like Face Time or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your

How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of TechnologyD Many of us listen to music while we work, thinking th
40、at it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.The idea that listening to music when working i
41、s beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all.How sound affects performance has been the topic of r
42、esearch for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw the
43、m. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical vari
44、ation(声学变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same timeone from the task and one from the soun
45、d. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. I
46、n this situation, the two sources of wordsfrom the task and the soundare in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the
47、 type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.32.“Mozart effect” is mentioned to _.A. explain how music can relax peopleB. show music can improve performanceC. advise people to listen to Mozart musicD. stress Mozart music gains wide atte
48、ntion33.It can be inferred that participants in the research _.A. have improved their rehearsal abilityB. perform better in the quiet conditionsC. ignore the background noise successfullyD. prefer the music with great sound variation34.Paragraph 6 is written to _.A. support an ideaB. make a contrast
49、C. introduce a topicD. describe a fact35.What is the best title for the passage?A. Music shapes your lifeB. Music develops your creativityC. Choose quiet music for your workD. Does music make you concentrate? 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Rivers play an important ro
