Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are muchcooler. But scientists found that people’s music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.
We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.
The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.
But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&.B, which is usually uplifting and danceable.
When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music, such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues.
As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren’t there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth. 4. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy? A. They are actually less cool. B. They are worth listening to.
C. They are especially serious. D. They are hard to understand. 5. How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
6. People who want to make friends mostly prefer ________. A. jazz music B. country music C. rock music D. pop music 7. What is the best title for the text? A. People Have Different Opinions on Music B. People Listen to Music for the Same Reason C. People’s Taste in Music Changes with Time D. People’s Lifestyle Can Be Changed by Music

An anti-obesity program for Australian girls didn’t lead to any improvements in their diet, physical activities or body weight a year later, according to a new report.
Findings from the school-based intervention (介入), which involved exercise sessions and nutrition workshops for lower-income girls, are the latest disappointment in a lot of research attempting tohead offadult obesity and the disease risks that come with it.
Especially during the middle- and high-school years, girls’ physical activity reduces obviously, according to lead researcher David Lubans, from theUniversityofNewcastleinNew South Wales,Australia. He said, “In the future we need to make the programs more interesting and exciting and present information in a way that is meaningful to adolescent girl.”
Lubans and his workmates conducted their study in 12 schools in low-income areas ofNew South Wales. At the start of the study, girls in both groups weighed an average of close to 130pounds, with about four in ten considered overweight. Over the next year, adolescents in the intervention group were given pedometers (计步器) to encourage walking and running and invited to nutrition workshops and regular exercise sessions during the schoolday and at lunchtime. Participation in some of those activities were less than ideal. For example, the girls went to only one-quarter of lunchtime exercise sessions, and less than one in ten completed at-home physical activity or nutrition challenges, the researchers reported. At the end of the year, girls in both groups had gained a similar amount of weight and there was no difference in their average body fat.
Preventive medicine researcher Robert Klesges said that although some anti-obesity programs have helped adults lose weight, the teen population has always been a source of failure for researchers. “The common belief is: nothing works,” he said. “And we have got to get beyond that.”
“We need to think outside the box,” said Klesges, who wasn’t involved in the new study. “That could include learning from what has worked in adult studies, such as giving meal replacement drinks or prepared foods to teens who have trouble making changes to their diet. Or, it could mean using a “step-care” method — rather than researchers or their doctor telling them to keep doing the same thing.” Klesges said. 8. The underlined words “head off” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”. A. damage B. defend C. prevent D. affect 9. The methods used in the program to stop obesity don’t include ________. A. walking and running
B. inviting them to nutrition workshops C. joining exercise sessions regularly D. giving meal replacement drinks
10. The main reason for the failure of the anti-obesity program is probably that ________. A. the participants didn’t take an active part in it
B. the program was not interesting and exciting to participants C. the participants didn’t get extra nutrition or exercise help D. the program didn’t pay attention to healthy exercise 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. As researchers, it is important to have creative research methods. B. Researchers need to give meals or prepare foods to participants. C. Teen girls have no difficulty in making changes to their diet. D. Some ant-obesity programs have not helped adults lose weight.
D
A team of researchers from several institutions in the UK and one in Estonia has created a type of buoy(浮标)that has proven to be effective at frightening seabirds, thus preventing them from getting caught in gillnets—a type of vertical fishing net that is made of a material that makes it nearly invisible underwater.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of seabirds die when they get caught in gillnets. Some estimates suggest that up to a half-million birds are caught in them each year. Over the years, researchers have created devices(装
置)to prevent the birds from trying to catch fish near or in gillnets, but those didn't work well.
To find a way that would work for all seabirds, the researchers first studied seabirds in a general sense, looking to find things that they would avoid. They noted that seabirds avoided eye contact with other creatures. Then the researchers came up with a simple idea—they put a small pole to a regular buoy and then attached a pair of googly eyes(金鱼眼)to the top of it. They made the eyes big enough so that even birds with poor eyesight, such as geese, would see them. Adding to the effectiveness of the device, waves made the eyes move back and forth. And the wind made the buoy spin very slowly, making sure that birds from every direction would get a good look at the eyes.
To test their idea, the researchers selected several sites near gillnets and counted how many birds approached and how many attempted to catch fish near the nets. They then set up their googly-eyed buoys and once again counted birds. Over the course of 62 days, they found the number of birds that tried to catch fish near the gillnets dropped by approximately 25% for a distance of up to 50 meters. They also found that the birds were less likely to fish near where the buoys had been for up to three weeks after they had been removed. 12. What is the function of paragraph 2?
A. Introducing a new topic to discuss. B. Providing background information. C. Summarizing the previous paragraph. D. Pointing out the main idea of the text. 13. Why did the researchers make the googly eyes big?
A. To ensure all the seabirds can see them. B. To clearly observe seabirds' eye contact. C. To allow them to survive the strong wind. D. To effectively identify the right direction. 14. What does the researchers' test result mainly suggest?
A. The new device still needs improving B. Gillnets are a death valley for seabirds. C. Seabirds hardly catch fish near the nets. D. The googly-eyed buoy proves effective. 15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A group of researchers interested in seabirds. B. A way to help seabirds catch fish effectively. C. A device keeping seabirds safe from gillnets. D. A googly-eyed buoy guiding seabirds to hunt. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
