16、iversity accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem. The disadvan
17、tage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.Property papers: Loot and RentingLoot is an important source of information about private housing for corenters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other corenters.
18、 They also have a website: . The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www.Renting.co
19、.uk.Accommodation agenciesThe majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save y
20、ou time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.NoticeboardsAround the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from student
21、s. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.Word of mouthSome of the best housing in London is never adver
22、tised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, dont suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily, going to be better than that found th
23、rough any other source.FamilyFaced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.36What is the advantage of using Loot?AThere are some good bargains.BTheir website is designed mainly for s
24、tudents.CIt gives you personal information about other corenters.DIt has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.37A good agent can help you _Aknow more peopleBfind cheap accommodationCget the right accommodation quicklyDget free information about most accommodations38The information pa
25、ssed on by word of mouth is important because _Ait is better than that found through any other sourceBit helps you find some of the best housing never advertisedCthe final year students always offer better informationDthe landlords have little valuable information39For students going to London for t
26、he first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information?AFamily. BLoot and Renting.CNoticeboards. DUniversity accommodation offices.BIt had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the count
27、ry in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him,“Mr.Belser died last night. The funeral is Wed
28、nesday.”Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.“Jack, did you hear me?”“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. Its been so long since I thought of him. Im sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.“Well, he didnt forget yo
29、u. Every time I saw him hed ask how you were doing. Hed reminisce about the many days you spent over his side of the fence as he put it,” Mom told him.“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.“You know,Jack,after your father died,Mr.Belser stepped in to make sure you had a mans influence in y
30、our life,”she said.“Hes the one who taught me carpentry.I wouldnt be in this business if it werent for him.He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important.Mom,Ill be there for the funeral,”Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr
31、.Belsers funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every pi
32、cture, every piece of furniture.Jack stoppd suddenly.“Whats wrong, Jack?” his mom asked.“The box is gone,” he said.“What box?”Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All hed ever tell me was the thing I val
33、ue most,” Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.“Now, Ill never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on hi
34、s desk. The return address caught his attention.“Mr.Harold Belser” it read. Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jacks hands shook as he read the note inside.“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. Its the thing I valued most in
35、 my life.”A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these words carved, “Jack, thanks for your t
36、ime! Harold Belser.”“Oh, my God! This is the thing he valued most.”Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days.“Why?” his assistant asked.“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.40Why did Jack think Mr.Belser died years
37、 ago?ACollege and career prevented him from remembering Mr.Belser.BJack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr.Belser.CJack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr.Belser.DHis present busy life washed away his childhood memories.41Jacks mother told him on the phone a
38、bout Mr.Belser EXCEPT that _AMr.Belser often asked how Jack was doingBMr.Belsers funeral would take place on WednesdayCMr.Belser had asked for Jacks mailing addressDMr.Belser had pleasant memories of their time together42What does the underlined word “reminisce” mean in Paragraph 5?Arecover Breveal

A new study shows the brains of people who can move to a musical beat react to speech on a more consistent basis
42、 than those who cant. Researchers also find that musical training can sharpen the brains response to language.The researchers say their discovery provides the first biological link between the ability to keep a beat and how the brain responds to speech, something that can have important value for re
43、ading skills. To gather materials for their research, the team got more than 100 teenagers who lived in Chicago, Illinois. The teens were given two tests. First, they were instructed to listen to and tap their fingers along to the beat. The researchers calculated how accurately their young volunteer
44、s were able to tap along to the musical timekeeper. Second, the teen subjects were linked to an EEG device, which measures electrical activity in the brain. The EEG device was focused on an area of the brain that not only processes sound, but is also connected to parts of the brain responsible for m
45、otormovement. The researchers recorded the brainwaves as their teen subjects listened to the synthesized speech sound, which was repeated irregularly for half an hour. The researchers were able to find out how the nerve cells in that particular region of the brain responded every time the synthesize
46、d sound was played.“Across this population of adolescents, the more accurate they were at tapping along to the beat, the more consistent their brains response to the letter unit was,” said Nina Kraus.While past studies have showed the links between reading skills and a persons ability to keep a beat
47、, the researchers said their new findings show the hearing system is what provides a common basis for those links.“Rhythm is naturally a part of music and language.” Nina said.46According to the first paragraph, what can get the brains reaction on language more effectively?ARhythm. BReading skills.C
48、Language. DMusical training.47What can we learn about “the first biological link” mentioned in Paragraph 2?AIt shows how the brain works.BIt is very important for reading ability.CIt shows how the brain reacts to speech.DIt is helpful to researchers findings.48The underlined word “subjects” in Parag
49、raph 2 probably means “_”Apersons or animals that are studied in an experiment or a researchBareas of knowledge studied in a school, college, and so onCthings that are being discussed in a conversation or a bookDpersons or things that are the main features of works of art 49It can be inferred from t
50、he last paragraph that _Areading skills may make language learners keep a beatBthe hearing system may be useless while a person is learning to readCthe hearing system may separate sound from meaning while a person is readingDthe hearing system may be used while a person is reading or taking musical
51、training50What can we conclude from this passage?AMoving to a musical beat is more popular.BExperts are expanding their studies on rhythm.CRhythm might help us improve our reading skills.DExperts find the links between the hearing system and reading.DAmericans are proud of their variety and individu
52、ality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a fivestar general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look mo
53、re professional than civilian(百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to(习惯于) expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is incre
54、ased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are taxdeductible(可减税的). They are often more
55、comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck wi
56、th it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think , speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are longlasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms
57、 are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.51It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _Astill judge a man by his clothesBenjoy having a professional identityChold the u
58、niform in such high regardDwill respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform52People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform _Asuggests quality workBappears to be more practicalCdiscards(丢弃;抛弃) his social identityDlooks superior to a person in civilian clothes53The chief fun

61、分)阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。Cao Yuan proved he was special at age 14 when he was enrolled in the University of Science and Technology of Chinas School of the Gifted Young, which is a special school to nurture teenagers into worldclass talents.But Cao himself didnt think he was special. He often stressed
62、that he was just an ordinary kid who loved reading about science and doing experiments.But there is other evidence that Cao is a bit different. On Dec.19, the now 22yearold doctoral candidate in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), US, was named one of the 10 people who mattere
63、d this year by the journal Nature. It was for discovering a “magic angle” in graphene(石墨烯) sheets that he has opened up a new field of superconductor physics(超导体物理学)Graphene, first discovered in 2004, is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms. Its the thinnest and strongest material in th
64、e world. Caos work shows that when two layers of graphene are cooled 1.7 C above absolute zero(273 C) and rotated(旋转) to a “magic angle” of 1.1 degrees, the upper layer of graphene exhibits nonconducting behaviors.However, Cao found that these electrons(电子) could flow in the graphene sandwich freely
65、as if they were traveling through a superconductorwhen small amounts of electrons were added to the structure.The discovery is exciting. “One can imagine making a superconducting transistor out of graphene, which you can switch on and off, from superconducting to insulating,”Pablo JarilloHerrero, Ca
66、os professor at MIT, told Science Daily.But why was Cao able to make the discovery? Both his high school physics teacher Huang Jiatang and JarilloHerrero attribute it to Caos capacity for independent learning and interest in doing experiments.Huang said that he remembered that as a young kid Cao had
67、 a strong ability to study on his own, a love for handson experiments and was unafraid to challenge teachers and ask difficult questions.Cao seems to be a highly inquisitive young man. JarilloHerrero told Nature that Caos hobbies include photographing the night sky using homemade cameras.“Every time
68、 I go in Caos office, its a huge mess, with computers taken apart and pieces of telescope all over his desk,” he said.But even with such convincing proof, Cao still sees himself as an ordinary college student.“After all, we are all humans, with flaws and emotions,” he said.56Why was Cao Yuan listed
