【题目】C

Motorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.

A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of “melody roads”, which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.

The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.

Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.

Paten documents for the design describe it as notches “formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones.”

There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan—one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.

The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.

“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,” wrote one Japanese blogger. “Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12mph [20km/h] has a slow-motion efect, making you almost car-sick.”

【1】We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on _____.

A. how far the grooves are

B. how big the grooves are

C. the number of the grooves

D. the speed of the car

【2】The underlined word optimal in the passage might mean ________.

A. fastest B. possible C. best D. slowest

【3】In order to hear the music well, you have to ______.

A. drive very fast B. drive slowly

C. open the windows wide D. keep the windows closed

【4】Whats the best title of the passage?

A.A New Type of Music

B. Melody Roads in Japan

C.A Musical Road Surface

D.A New Invention in Japan

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者介绍了日本的音乐路面。人们开车行驶在该路面上就可听到音乐,声音的高低取决于凹槽的间距,车速影响音乐的效果。

【1】细节理解题。由文章第四段内容“Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.”可知,曲子的高低 取决于凹槽间的距离,故选A项。

【2】词义猜测题。结合文章倒数第二段,并联系上下文可以推断,optimal应表示“最佳的,最理想 的”,选C 。

【3】细节理解题。由文章最后一段首句“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well”可知, 为了很好地听曲子需要将车窗关闭,故选D项。

【4】主旨大意题。本文讲述的是日本发明音乐路面的事情,故选B项。

The book I’m reading of talks about afternoon tea in Britain. It is said to have started in the early 1800’s. Have tea in the late afternoon provides a bridge between lunch and dinner, that might not be served until 8 o’clock at night. This custom soon becomes another meal of day. Interesting, it had a connection by the British porcelain(瓷器) industry. Tea in China was traditionally drank from cups without handles. When tea got popular in Britain, there was a crying need for good cup with handles to suit British habits. This made for the grow in the porcelain industry.

【题目】

In a recent announcement, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)said that they have joined forces to offer free online courses in an effort to attract millions of online learners worldwide.

Beginning this fall, a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new $60 million program, known as edX. “Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses,” Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan.

MIT has offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes materials from more than 2,000 classes free online. It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program.

The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform.

MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.

“Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield said.

Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.

The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit(非盈利的)organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.

【1】 According to this text, edX is _______.

A. a part of the free MIT OpenCourseWare

B. a free computer program by MIT and Harvard

C. a Harvard-MIT platform of free online courses

D. a free program online for universities worldwide

【2】 What is said about online education in the text?

A. Universities have been trying online courses.

B. About 2,000 online courses have been offered.

C. Over 100 million people have finished courses online.

D. Stanford and Yale together have courses similar to edX.

【3】 The underlined part in the text probably means .

A. Get ready for the difficulties

B. Get ready for this educational change

C. Get prepared to complete the online courses

D. Get prepared to make materials for the edX courses

【4】 What can be said about MITx according to the text?
