82、to volunteer?”Alan nodded but felt uneasy. Sleeping in a tent with other campers had sounded OK, but the idea of being alone in the night made him tremble. Earlier that day, the officer had challenged the campers to spot animal tracks along the river. That was fun. But being alone in the dark was no
83、t. Alans flashlight was already fading to a dim glow because he had used it too often. Looking around, Alan thought he saw a large bird swooping(俯冲) and wondered if it was an owl. He had seen small paw prints in the sand by the river. Was the owl hunting for the creature that had made them?注意: 续写部分分

Something was there in the darkness. Slowly, he reached for his flashlight. Another metallic sound was near the cooki
85、ng pots. Alans finger stabbed at the button on the flashlight. There, with a discarded bone in its mouth, was a creamy-brown creature with dark spots and a striped tail. Alan stared, and the creature stared back, its round ears pricked and its sharp nose twitching. Then it was gone. Alan felt a rush
86、 of excitement. He crawled near the pots and saw small dog-like paw prints. Carefully, he rearranged the pots to cover them. The next morning, the officer asked for reports. Most kids claimed to have heard noises in the darkness. “I saw something, ” said Alan, and he described it. Then he moved the
87、pots and showed everyone the tracks. “Well done! You ve met our local spotted genet, ” said the officer, smiling. “Normally a genet lives on mice and birds, but this one likes chop bones, too. It visits our campsite some times, but only if the watcher is very quiet. Good for you! ”Alan held his head
88、 high. Inside, though, he knew it was fear that had kept him so quiet. Next time, he thought, I will be just as quiet, but no longer afraid.

Later, I could afford a birthday card and a candy bar. I put the candy in my pants pocket, tucked the card under my shirt and ran home. By then
110、it was getting dark. As I rounded the corner near our house, I saw mom looking for me. I could tell she was worried and angry. “Where were you?” she shouted. I explained, I was out collecting bottles to get money for your birthday present. ” I reached into my shirt and gave her the unsigned card and

113、kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician, however, and they will be hooked. Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe
114、in. Im partly referring here to the “Mozart effect”, where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent, including at maths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to become better at maths without puttin
115、g in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest. If you want your brain to work better, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort. Surely a connection is quite reasonable.
116、Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connect
117、ion between abilities at football and tennis. To become better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination(协调). That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other. Abstract structures dont exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand
118、its abstract structures like grammar. Yet we dont hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic(语言的)ability. Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldnt be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar. Music, however, is strongly tied
119、 up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it. As such, it seems different from maths, so there wouldnt be any connection between the two. Lets see how we solve problems of the “A is to B as C is to D” kind. These appear in intelligence tests but they are also importan
120、t to both music and maths. Consider the opening of Mozarts Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (小夜曲). The second phrase(小节) is a clear answer to the first. The listener thinks: “The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord (和弦); what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and
121、uses the notes of a D7?”Music is full of puzzles like this. If you are good at them, expectations will constantly be set up in your mind. The best moments surprise you by being unexpected, but we need the expectations in the first place. 【文章大意】本文属于科教类的短文阅读。主要介绍了数学和音乐活动之间存在明显的相似之处, 但没有直接证据证明这种很多人似乎信以
122、为真的神奇的联系。1. What does the author say about “Mozart effect”?A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about. B. The findings from it gave people wrong information. C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected. D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段It is not
123、 hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort. 不难看出为什么这样的理论会受欢迎: 我们都希望在没有付出任何努力的情况下更好地学习数学。可知, “莫扎特效应”易给人传递一种错误的信息, 即人们过高的期望值。故选B。2. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that A. football and tenni
124、s are played in a similar way. B. certain skills may be developed through practice. C. music and maths have something in common. D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第三段中Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is li
125、kely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. 数学和音乐都涉及抽象结构, 所以如果你擅长一个, 你可能已经掌握了有助于理解另一个的一般性知识。如
126、果这种联系是合情合理的, 数学能力和音乐能力之间的联系, 就会如同足球和网球之间的那样。由此可知, 作者在第三段提到足球和网球是为了说明音乐和数学有一些共同之处, 这两者之间是有一定的联系的。故选C。3. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that A. language seems more like maths than music does. B. language is less appealing to learners. C. mathematicians are good at music learning. D. the structure of la
127、nguage is easier to learn than that of music. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第四段Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical, 也许这是因为语法感觉更像数学, 以及Music, however. . . so there wouldnt be any connection between the two, 然而, 音乐与感情密切相关, 即使对那些知之甚少的人也可以享受。可知, 语言看起来更像数学而不是音乐, A. 语言似乎更像数学而不是音乐;B. 语言对学习者的吸引力较小;C. 数学家擅长音乐学
128、习;D. 语言结构比音乐更容易学习。故选A。4. What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph?A. How music differs from maths. B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities. C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians. D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths. 【解析】选D。写作意图题。根据第四段前
129、半部分的描述以及Music is full of puzzles like this。可知, 抽象思维在数学和音乐上的运用是不同的。故选D。【知识拓展】Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in. 尽管在数学和音乐活动中有很多相似点, 但是没有直接的证据证明这种很多人看起来相信的神奇的联系。although 引导让步状语从句。后面many people seem to believe in. 是定语从句, 引导词省略。
