But turning your car radio up to full volume could probably
16、 make you end up in an accident. The performance of difficult tasks can be influenced if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to
17、 do with driving. The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels (分贝), and the same music at 85 decibels.For 10 minutes the subjects sat in
18、 front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car. They had to track (追踪) a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake in response to arrows that appeared without warning.On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise condit
19、ions. But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers “braked” at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters actually, the difference between life and death for a
20、 pedestrian（行人）.When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when the music was quiet, people responded faster to objects in their central field of sight by about 50 milliseconds. For the people listening at 85 decibels, response times were dropped b
21、y a further 50 milliseconds a whole tenth of second faster than those “driving” with no music. “But theres a trade-off,” the psychologists told the European Congress of Psychology. “They lose the ability to look around the whole situation effectively.” In responding to objects that suddenly appeared
22、, people subjected to 85-decibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups. Since some accidents such as children running into the road take place without any notice, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result. 36. Where did the researchers do the e
23、xperiment? A. At crossroads.B. At a police traffic station. C. In a crowded street. D. Under the experimental conditions as those of the streets. 37. What does the underlined sentence “theres a trade-off” in paragraph six mean? A. Every coin has two sides. B. Business is business. C. Practice makes
24、perfect. D. A loss may turn out to be a gain.38. Which of the following is NOT true of loud music? A. It helped the performers to brake sooner at red lights. B. It quickened the performers response to objects in their central field of sight C. It helped the performers to respond faster to objects su
25、ddenly stepping in the way. D. It can sometimes do harm to drivers. 39. On the whole, which of the following is the best way to make driving safer? A. Loud music. B. Quiet music. C. Silence. D. Heavy metal music. BIn late March, Southwest University became the first school in China to open a 24-hour
26、 hotline providing suicide-prevention counseling.College suicide is a heart-breaking and argumentative topic. Chinese college students have long been the focus of public attention: their youth, education and, most importantly, bright futures make them the envy of society.However, in recent years, we
27、ve read more reports of student suicides. Perhaps thats simply because of societys attention with youth. But it could also signify the increasing troubled mental state of college students.Many studies have sought to find out the causes of student suicides. Not surprisingly, the top factors usually i
28、nclude psychological and physical sickness, emotional trouble and peer pressure. Despair about their futures is also quickly becoming a leading factor: many students say they feel hopeless and confused about the direction of their careers in a crowded job market.Thankfully, more and more universitie
29、s and colleges are providing counseling services to address students mental and psychological problems. These at least offer some comfort to students facing tough job prospects and personal difficulties.From appointing in-house student counselors to setting up hotlines and recruiting students to hel
30、p their troubled peers, many universities are making efforts to fight student depression. There is no denying that much remains to be done, but such efforts are already working, helping students and saving lives.However, the most important front in this battle lies with the students themselves. What
31、ever efforts school officials make, it is up to students to realize their problems and ask for help. Unfortunately, many students considering suicide refuse to seek help. By shutting themselves away, they can easily fall into vicious cycles(恶性循环), becoming ever more vulnerable to personal difficulti
32、es and the pressures of the outside world.While establishing better on-campus psychological education and outreach programs as a step forward, students themselves must actively reach out for help. These dangers are a reality for every student, not only those who feel confused and depressed.40. Why a
33、re there so many students that commit suicide?A. Because of psychological and physical sickness.B. Because they feel hopeless and confused about their future.C. Because of the emotional trouble.D. All of the above.41. Which of the following is WRONG according to the article?A. No university had a wh
34、ole day hotline providing suicide-prevention counseling before March.B. Many people envy the college students their bright futures.C. The students who feel confused and depressed may have psychological problems and need psychological education.D. The problems of student suicides indicate the increas
35、ing troubled mental state of young people.42. Which of the following can be the best title for the article?A. Help is at hand for suicidal students. B. More college students commit suicide.C. How can students avoid committing suicide? D. Why do college students feel depressed?Keys: 1-10: CCAAA, CDBCB 11-20: ACCDB, DACBA 21-30: AADCB, CADDC31-42: ADDCB, DACBD, DA版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
