21、For some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusics are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be an amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping centre can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. Besides, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was an amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex, and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problem understanding common speeches. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colours.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘No, thanks. I’m an amusic,’” says Margaret.
【1】What do we know about amusics?
A．They like music.
B．They are born unable to enjoy music.
C．They don’t like music.
D．They have poor hearing.
【2】Why is life hard for amusics mainly?
A．They know they cannot enjoy music.
B．They hate parties, restaurants or shopping centres.
C．They try to stay at the places full of music.
D．It may be hard for them to integrate into the community.
【3】What causes amusics to be different from most people according to scientists?
A．Their lack of ability to see colours.
B．Their poor hearing.
C．Their brains.
D．Their problems with speech.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Some people’s inability to enjoy music.
B．Some people’s musical ability.
C．Amusics’ strange behaviour.
D．The diagnosis and treatment of amusics.
22、Our planet is losing species at an alarming rate. As the world has become increasingly industrialized, natural habitats have been destroyed to build cities that are unlivable for wildlife. However, a pair of European designers, architect Rene Hougaard and product designer Alexander Qual, believe there are ways to encourage cities to coexist with nature. Inspired by everyday people who build “insect hotels“ in their backyards, they’ve created outdoor furniture that would be beautiful to look at, but also allow bugs, birds and wildflowers to thrive (繁殖).
The natural world tends to appear messy and chaotic to the human eye, but there is often method in the madness. Qual and Hougaard kept this in mind as in all the structures, they played with the concepts of order and messiness.
Qual created a large, yellow, leaf-shaped insect hotel, that’s designed to be placed on a flower bed in a park. The structure contains wooden blocks with holes that are 6, 7 and 8 millimeters in diameter (直径), since different insect species prefer holes of different sizes.
Hougaard created a metal log bench with an empty space in the middle specifically designed to hold a decaying (腐烂的) log that can provide a habitat for insects and plants, along with birds and bats. While humans often shun decay, Hougaard imagines a place where people can sit down and observe the slow process in which bacteria break down the wood, creating food for insects, birds and other animals.
As for the question of whether people actually want to be so close to bugs, snakes and nesting birds, the designers acknowledge that modern humans have been trained to stay away from such creatures. But Hougaard says these structures keep animals contained, while allowing people to observe and appreciate them safely. And eventually, if we want to maintain biodiversity, humans need to become much more comfortable living alongside wildlife, rather than feeling the need to destroy it. After all, we humans need nature to survive.
【1】Why did Hougaard and Qual build insect hotels?
A．To inspire more people to build one.
B．To bring biodiversity back to cities.
C．To provide a way to manage the city.
D．To slow down the process of industrialization.
【2】What did Hougaard and Qual mainly consider in designing their structures?
A．The size of species.
B．The variety of colors.
C．The building materials.
D．The combination of order and disorder.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “shun” in Para.4?
A．Avoided.
B．Crealed.
C．Observed.
D．Provided.
【4】What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A．Bugs and snakes annoy people a lot.
B．Modern people have destroyed some creatures.
C．People should protect wildlife for our own good.
D．Hougaard’s structures enable people to touch the animals.
23、TOKYO, Japan—Maki Kaji, 69, the creator of the popular numbers puzzle Sudoku whose life's work was spreading the joy of puzzles, has died of cancer.
Known as the “Godfather of Sudoku,” Kaji created the puzzle to be easy for children and others who didn't want to think too hard. Its name is made up of the Japanese characters for “number” and “single,” and players place the numbers 1 through 9 in rows, columns and blocks without repeating them.
Ridiculously, it wasn't until 2004 that Sudoku became a global hit, after a fan from New Zealand got it published in the British newspaper The Times. Two years later, Japan rediscovered its own puzzle as a “reimport.”
Kaji traveled to more than 30 countries spreading his enjoyment of puzzles. Sudoku championships have drawn some 200 million people in 100 countries over the years. Sudoku was also never trademarked (注册) except within Japan, driving its overseas craze.
Born in the main northern island of Hokkaido, Kaji started Japan's first puzzle magazine after dropping out of Keio University in Tokyo. He founded Nikoli in 1983, and came up with the name Sudoku about the same time. In recent years, Sudoku, believed to be the world's most popular pencil puzzle, has come out in digital versions.
“Our mission (使命) is to seek Kaji's wishes and possibilities,” said Yoshinao Anpuku, who succeeded Kaji as Nikoli's chief executive (执行官). Major Japanese newspaper Mainichi credited Kaji for starting the puzzle sections at bookstores, as well as introducing the word “Sudoku” into the Oxford English dictionary.
【1】What does the author think is ridiculous?
A．Kaji was the Godfather of Sudoku.
B．Kaji set up a puzzle magazine.
C．Sudoku first became popular overseas.
D．Sudoku was spread widely and quickly.
【2】What can we say about Maki Kaji?
A．He liked traveling a lot.
B．He failed to enter the university.
C．He was a top player in Sudoku.
D．He was committed to Sudoku spreading.
【3】What can be inferred about Sudoku from the passage?
A．It's not for old people.
B．It's registered abroad.
C．It was named after Kaji.
D．It went all over the world.
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．What Kaji wishes for.
B．Why Kaji was great.
C．Who is Kaji's follower.
D．How Kaji achieved his goal.
