They are testing environmental conditions such as the food supply and water temperature to better understand why the dolphins choose to live there
30、. (他和他的同事们正在结合三个方面的研究。他们正在捕捉海豚并植入卫星跟踪装置。他们正在测试环境条件,如食物供应和水温,以更好地了解海豚为什么选择在那里生活)”可知,科学家们捕捉海豚并植入卫星跟踪装置,是为了更好的了解海豚喜欢的生活地点。因此,以下陈述属于这三个方面的研究是:C项“研究海豚对生活地点的偏好(Studying the dolphinspreference for where to live)”符合题意,故选C项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段和第六段“They dont like to move a lot so that results support the geneti

36、ms to correlate with outsize success in other fields? I put the question to top-flight professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious past lives as musicians.The phenomenon extends beyond the math-music association. Strikingly, many high achievers told me music op
37、ened 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 weaves together disparate ideas. The power to focus on the present and the future simultaneously.For many of the high achie
38、vers I spoke with, music functions as a “hidden language,” as Mr. Wolfensohn calls it, one that enhances the ability to connect disparate or even contradictory ideas. When he ran the World Bank, Mr. Wolfensohn traveled to more than 100 countries, often taking in local performances, which helped him
39、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 founder of the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxton Associates, says he sees similarities b

He says musicians and top professionals share “the almost desperate need to dive deep.” This capacity to obsess seems to unite top performers in music an
42、d 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 translates into “working on something over and over again, or double-checking or
43、 triple-checking.” He adds, “Theres 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 pursuit in decline in this country.8. Music training can enhance all of the f

By saying “music and technology have converged”, Roger McNamee means_.A. technology has increased the channels by which music is promotedB. advanced technology makes sound better than beforeC. Facebook has become a platform for promoting music albumsD. musical techniques are
46、directly used in managing business11. The underlined word “observation” in the last paragraph refers to _.A. the claim that music is the key to successB. the belief that results determine the value of musicC. the idea that hard work keeps getting you aheadD. the proposal that one should pursue music
47、 seriously【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐和数学运算的关系。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens other qualities: Collection. The ability to listen. A way of thinking that weaves together disparate ideas. he power to focus on the present and the future si
48、multaneously. ”可知,他们的经验表明,音乐训练提高了其他品质:协作能力。倾听的能力。把不同的想法编织在一起的一种思维方式。同时关注现在和未来的能力。由此可知,文章没有提到音乐训练可以提高站在别人角度思考问题的能力。故选 C。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段 “Bruce Kovner, the founder of the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxton Associates,says he sees similarities between his piano playing and investing strategy;”可知,冲基金创始人Bruce Ko
49、vner表示,他认为自己的钢琴演奏和投资策略之间存在相似之处。由此可知, Bruce Kovner看到了音乐和数学运算的相似之处。故选D。【10题详解】词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“For Roger McNamee, whose Elevation Partners is perhaps best known for its early investment in Facebook,”可知,Roger McNamee的Elevation Partners可能以早期投资Facebook而闻名。再结合“music and technology have converged”可知,他认为音乐和技术已
50、经融合在一起了。由此可知, Roger McNamee认为技术增加了提高音乐的渠道,也就是技术已经增加推广音乐的渠道。故选A。【11题详解】词句猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段“Theres nothing like music to teach you that eventually if you work hard enough, it does get better. ”可知,没有什么比音乐更能教会你,如果你足够努力,它最终会变得更好。再根据“Thats an observation worth remembering at a time when music as a serious pur
51、suit is in decline in this country.”可知,在这个国家,音乐作为一种严肃的追求正在衰落的时候,这是一个值得记住的observation。分析可知,前文讲到了各行各业“top-flight professionals”成功人士与音乐的渊源,并且结合音乐教育在这个国家正在衰落。由此推知,划线词observation意为努力工作能让你进步的一个想法,也就是努力工作使你领先的观念,正好与“work hard(努力工作)”相呼应。故选C。DLOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (Xinhua)Legendary comic book writer Stan Lee

62、色是有弱点的,结合下文“This made Marvel comic book heroes stand apart from its competitor DC”可知,这正是使得他所在公司漫威漫画公司不同于DC公司角色的原因。故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。第六段倒数第二句“then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in peoples lives.”Lee意识到娱乐是人们生活中最重要的事情之一,故选B。【14题详解】细节理解题。最后一段倒数第二句“No one has had mo
