9、（共15小题; 每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中 ，选出最佳选项。AAfter I mastered my first concerto (协奏曲) at age 14, my parents decided to get me a nice violin. I tried out dozens of instruments before I found my match: a German violin. It was beautiful, but what I liked best about it was its voice.

10、Confident and strong, it was everything I longed to be.Im not sure how much that violin cost, but my parents made me promise never to let it out of my sight. They didnt understand that dragging a large violin case ran counter to my daily middle school task of being invisible (看不见). I was a strange,

11、absent-minded kid. When I spoke up in class, my comments brought confused silence from teachers and wild laughter from students. Like a deer in a wolf pack, I tried to be quiet and still.In contrast, my new violin was almost shockingly loud. Together, we could drown out the rest of my middle school

12、orchestrawhich was encouraged, since the other kids made sounds like cats crying. For one glorious hour every day, I was showered with attention. Everyone wanted to hear what I had to say.Between classes, I bent under the combined weight of my violin case and a backpack filled with books. My posture

13、 suffered, but my confidence grew. With my violin by my side, I found my voice. More and more, I contributed to class discussions and even made a couple of friends.Today, Im just an amateur violinist with a regular day job. As I sit in my community orchestra, sometimes I feel jealous (嫉妒的) of my fel

14、low musicians instruments with their elegant voices. I may not be the best violinist around, but at least Im still the loudest.21The underlined part “ran counter to “ in Paragraph 2 probably means _.Awas similar toBwent along withCwas the opposite ofDhad something in common with22We know from Paragr

15、aph 2 that the author _.Adid not fit in at schoolBwas an excellent studentCwas strong and confidentDdid not attend classes regularly23What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 3?ADisappointment.BAnger.CPride.DRegret.24What can we infer from the text?AThe violin changed the author in some way.BT

16、he author hated the loud voice of his violin.CThe violin always made the author embarrassed.DThe author was the best violinist in his community orchestra.BWhat if our babies could somehow tell us what theyre thinking about, what they want, and what makes them unhappy? Robyn Holt, researcher for Baby

17、 Talk New Zealand, says they can. Holt heard about baby sign language through an advertisement and decided to go along to a workshop (研讨会).“Sign language is something thats always interested me, and I thought, it could be really cool to try this with a baby because we are always guessing all the tim

18、e what they actually want.”Holt started using baby sign language with her baby son Benjamin, now 12, and within two weeks he started to sign the sign for milk. She has since used it with her two younger sons Dominic, 8, and Matthew, 3.来源:学#科#网Baby sign language is nothing new: the practice (which is

19、 based on adult sign laguange) has been out in America for more than 30 years. But it is enjoying a rebirth in New Zealand.The idea behind baby sign language is that babies do have the ability to communicate their needs if they are given the right tools to do so. Although many mothers develop an int

20、uition (直觉) about whether their babys crying is from hunger, tiredness, or pain, baby sign language creates a direct form of communication that unlocks the mystery.When babies are between 6-months and 12 to 13-months, parents can begin to teach them sign language: use the sign for milk while feeding

21、, and also talk about milk, so that the child begins to make the link (关联) in their brain. Then they can begin to add other signs, i.e. food, sick or pain.“I know of one parent. Her child was signing the sign for hurt by his month, and she realized his first teeth were growing. It makes life so much

22、 easier,” said Holt.25Why did Holt go to the baby sign language workshop?ATo entertain her own children.BTo better understand babies needs.CTo help babies with language problems.DTo develop a new system of sign language.26According to the text, baby sign language _.Ahas been used in New Zealand for

Like many other kids, he also plays games on his phone. At times, he says, it can be hard to tear himself away from a device (设备), especially

25、when hes playing NBA General Manager.What makes some video games so attractive? Raph Koster, an expert on game design, says game makers employ a great deal of knowledge about what keeps people playing. He says that whether they know it or not, players like getting feedback (反馈) that they can see or

26、hear. The game Peggle, for example, plays the song “Ode to Joy” every time you succeed at beating a level. “It gives you this amazing amount of celebration,” says Koster.Game makers also know that once players have put in the time and effort to achieve a goal, they dont like to give up. So some game

27、s are easy at first and become more challenging (挑战性的). At that point, the players may be offered a resource (资源) that makes winning easier. “The game creates a problem that it offers to solve for you in exchange for cash,” explains Ian Bogost, a professor who studies video games at the Georgia Inst

28、itute of Technology. When players are connected to the Internet, developers can observe what they do. By recording players choices, game companies can find out what keeps people interested in and what makes them most likely to buy things.Besides game developers, scientists are also paying attention

29、to the power of games. Adam Gazzaley, a scientist at the University of California, has developed games that improve attention and memory in older adults. Now Gazzaley and his team are designing brain-building games for kids. “We think that how video games really pull you in and demand your attention

30、 can be used to help improve how the brain process (处理) information,” he says. To test the games effects on the mind, Gazzaley records brain activity while people play. He says that one day, doctors might advise patients to play video games to improve their intelligence.29Its difficult for Jaden Dar
