17.Driving safety is said to be influenced by the songs or music drivers are listening to on the roads.Top ten safest songs to drive to are Come Away With Me by Norah Jones,I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith and Tiny Dancer by Elton John.Each of the songs has an optimum tempo(最佳節(jié)奏)for safe driving,imitating the human heartbeat at around 60to 80beats per minute.The Scientist by Coldplay and Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River also appeared in the top 10.
The study,conducted at London Metropolitan University,also revealed(表明)the type of songs that cause motorists to drive dangerously.Unsurprisingly,music that is noisy increases a driver's heart rate,which can be deadly.Fast beats cause excitement that can lead people to concentrate more on the music than on the road and to speed up to match the beat of the song.Styles of music were also measured during the experiment and revealed differences between male and female drivers.Hip-hop made a female driver drive far more aggressively,speeding up faster than male driver.The heavy metal music caused the fastest driving among males in the group while the dance music had the same effect among women.The male and female drivers who listened to the classical music drove the most irregularly.
The experiment involved eight people driving 500miles each using the confused,com MotorMate app,which monitored driving behaviore through GPS technology.

28.What's does the passage mainly talk about?B
A.Music that drivers prefer to listen to on their way.
B.Songs the drivers should choose to listen to while driving.
C.Driving safety and traffic rules.
D.Female drivers and male drives'different responsestothesame music.
29.What kind of music may the author suggest a male driver listen to?D
A.Metal music.    B.Classical music.
C.Hip-hop music.  D.Lightmusic.
30.What does the underlined part"the same effect"in Paragraph 3refer to?B
A.Driving irregularly.
B.Driving fastest.
C.Driving far more aggressively.
D.Speeding up faster.
31.What may be talked about in the following paragraph?A
A.Some music with optimum tempo for drivers to enjoy.
B.How was the study carried out.
C.Why fast beat music is harmful tp drivers.
D.Female and male drivers'different popular tastes of music.

分析 一項最新研究顯示,開車時收聽的歌曲選擇可能會影響駕駛安全程度.

解答 BDBA
28.B 主旨?xì)w納題.根據(jù)文章第一段的第一句話Driving safety is said to be influenced by the songs or music drivers are listening to on the roads是文章的中心句.一般而言,新聞、調(diào)查報告都是在文章的開頭就交待文章的主題.
29.D 推理判斷題 根據(jù)The heavy metal music caused the fastest driving among males in the group while the dance music had the same effect among women.The male and female drivers who listened to the classical music drove the most irregularly.可以推理出,作者推薦的歌曲有關(guān)是輕音樂,故答案為D
30.B詞義猜測題 根據(jù)The heavy metal music caused the fastest driving among males in the group while the dance music had the same effectamong women.可知,劃線部分指的是"開車速度很快"故選B
31.A 推理判斷題.文章最后一段涉及到的就是B項;第二段中涉及到了C,因此B、C不會再次被提及.文章第二段中也談到了男女司機對不同音樂的反應(yīng),再次談他們對不同音樂的品味的可能性不大.文章第一段涉及到了10首對司機來講適宜選擇的部分音樂,因此文章會在最后一段給出第一段沒列出的10首音樂的剩余部分.

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是,僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案,這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱.所謂閱讀理解,對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文,因此,每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查,再得出答案.也就是說,閱讀理解的每一道題目,在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處,我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句,(1)排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(2)排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項  (3)排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(4)注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除.

6.An oral drug,named ERDRP-0519,was invented.It is specifically designed to protect people who got infected measles(麻疹) from spreading the virus to others.Like the flu,measles spreads through the air by breathing,coughing or sneezing.There is typically a time,about two weeks,between becoming infected with the virus and the beginning of symptoms like skin rash(皮疹),runny nose,heavy cough and high fever.
"This therapy application determines the desired characteristics of the drug,which are orally available,cost-effective manufacture and high stability,"Richard Klemperer,professor of Georgia State University,told reporters last Wednesday.
"With these criteria in mind,we have developed a small drug that blocks the measles virus over the past years,which is essential for copy of the virus."
The researchers tested the drug in rats infected with canine distemper virus(犬瘟。,which is a close relative of measles virus.They found that all of the infected rats treated with the drug survived the deadly infection,showed no clinical signs of disease and developed a strong protective immune response.
The drug could be used to treat friends,family and other social contacts of a person infected with measles virus,which have not developed symptoms yet but are at risk of having caught the disease,Klemperer said truthfully.
"The emergence of strong antiviral immunity(抗病毒免疫力) in treated animals is particularly encouraging,since it suggests that the drug may not only save an infected individual from disease but contribute to closing measles immunity gaps in a population,"Klemperer said.
The researchers emphasized the drug is not intended as a substitute for vaccination,but as an additional weapon to get rid of the measles.They planned to test the drug's safety in larger animals,before moving into clinical trials in humans.
"If our next series of studies confirms that the human situation mirrors what we have seen in rats,then this drug may make a major contribution to getting rid of measles by preventing local outbreaks"Klemperer said.
Despite the existence of an effective vaccine,annual measles deaths worldwide have remained constant at around 150,000since 2007.The reasons for this are the highly infectious nature of the virus,in the developing world largely due to issues of resources,and in many developed countries in particular in the European region due to parental concerns regarding vaccination safety.

58.If a boy got infected by measles virus,he might NOT show the symptom likeD.
A.runny nose        
B.bad cough          
C.high fever        
D.sick stomach
59.From what Klemperer said,we know that the drugC.
A.is only intended as a substitute for vaccination
B.can only save those infected individuals from disease
C.is cost-effective and high stability for curing measles
D.has the same effect on human as on larger animals
60.The best title of the passage isA .
A.the Introduction of a New Oral Drug
B.the Desired Characteristics of Drugs
C.the Common Symptoms of Getting Measles
D.the Application of Post-exposure Therapy.
