解析试题分析：本篇是一则为Campus Link的部分内容征稿的海报。可以是关于生活方式方面的，还可以是生活方面的，包括家人、朋友或同学等等，还可以是你或者你身边的人的研究和突破。可以通过Campus Link的网站联系撰稿事宜。
【小题1】推理判断题。结合Lifestyle部分的内容：你可以看到旅行日记；拍得很棒的照片；推荐值得一尝的饭店或食物。看关于Leonard Maltin的大片并和读者分享你对该电影的观点，而不是关于Leonard Maltin的故事。所以选C。
【小题2】 细节理解题。关于Campus Link的部分你可以看到：bread and butter or passion说明在这里bread and butter指的是passion，而不是真正的面包和黄油。所以A错；提到schoolmate or teacher，是说与研究工作有关的人，所以排除C；提到a source of inspiration for our community ,是说某些人的研究工作可以给人启发。所以排除D。根据Share with Campus Link your research developments and breakthroughs. 判断，Campus Link希望看到的research developments and breakthroughs。其他都是片面理解。故选B。
【小题3】主题判断题。根据标题Calling for Contributions以及Keen to share your views and have your articles published in the Campus Link? We are calling for contributions to the following sections。和最后一句Contributions for the next issue should reach us by 10 July 2013.判断这篇海报的目的是：鼓励人们为下一期的the Campus Link供稿。故选D。

They say that "seeing is believing", but when it comes to TV commercials, this is not always the case.
The world's leading mobile phone maker, Nokia, released its latest model Lumia 920 on Sept. 5. The smart phone was supposed to possess an advanced camera, which let customers shoot better pictures at night and record stabilized videos. To show how well these features work, the Finnish company released an ad showing a man and a woman riding bicycles side by side, with the man taking a video of the woman on the phone. However, several hours later, technology website The Verge uncovered that the video was neither shot with the new product, nor shot from someone riding a bicycle. Instead, someone in a lorry next to the woman took the video using a professional video camera.
The next day Nokia apologized, "In an effort to demonstrate the benefits of visual image stabilization, we produced a video that simulates（看起来像）what we will be able to deliver." Indeed, what we have seen in ads is more or less a simulation——a practice called "advertising photography".
McDonald's video in June explained the "art". It showed how its burgers get dolled up（装扮）before going on camera. Like models preparing for a magazine cover shoot, burgers also get designed in a photography studio. They are prepared for hours and put together with absolute precision so they look their best before photo shoots. Each ingredient, such as onions and sauce, is carefully put into place to make the burger look much juicier, bigger and tastier. Computer software Photoshop is also used to add visual effects.
So don't feel ____________________when you get a burger that never looks like what you see in ads.
【小题1】 What do the underlined words "the case" in Paragraph l refer to? （within 5 words）
【小题2】 For what purpose did Nokia create the video? （within 8 words）
【小题3】Why did Nokia apologize based on the text? （within 10 words）
【小题4】Why does the author give the example of McDonald's video in Paragraph 4? （within 10 words）
【小题5】Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words.（within 2 words）

Enjoy free re-admission for a year if you buy your ticket directly from us. Tickets purchased directly from the Royal Collection can be transformed into a 1-Year Pass, giving 12 months’ free admission to Windsor Castle. This pass is valid for a year from the date of your first visit.
How do I transform my ticket into a 1-Year Pass?
1. Before you leave the site, please sign and print your name in the spaces provided on the back of your ticket.
2. Hand the ticket to a member of staff, who will stamp and validate(使…生效) it.
3. Keep your ticket for future visits.
Your ticket will only be accepted for re-admission if it has been stamped on the day of your first visit.
Subsequent(随后的) visits
To gain admission on subsequent visits, your signed and stamped original ticket (now your 1-Year Pass) must be produced on arrival at the ticket counter. You will also be required to provide proof(证据) of signature, such as a passport, driving licence, or credit card. You will then be given a gift ticket for admission on that day. Children under the age of 18 are not required to show proof of signature.

What do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have in common.'? Both men have hearing damage from exposure(暴露，接触) to loud music, and both now wear hearing aids（助听器） as a result. As a teenager, Clinton played saxophone in a band. Townshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist for a band called the Who. He is one of the first rock musicians to call the public's attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.
Temporary（暂时） hearing loss can happen after only 15 minutes of listening to loud music. One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones. One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert.
"What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but they're not dead," says physician and ear specialist Dr. Sam Levine. According to Dr. Levine, if you avoid further exposure to loud noise, it's possible to recondition the cells（细胞） somewhat. However, he adds, "Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged." And this is no small problem.
What sound level is dangerous? According to Dr. Levine, regular exposure to noise above 85 decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous. The chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds. Here's another measurement you can use. If you're at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you' re at risk for hearing loss. That's when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical.
The facts are pretty frightening. But are rock bands turning down the volume.'? Most aren't. "Rock music is supposed to be loud," says drummer Andrew Sather."I wouldn't have it any other way. And neither would the real fans of rock. "
Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, according to Dr. Levine. He states, "There's no cure for hearing loss. Your ears are trying to tell you something. That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying. Each time that happens, more and more damage is done. "
| Levels of Common Noises Normal conversation 50 — 65 dB Food blender 88 dB Jet plane flying above a person standing outside 103 dB Rock band during a concert 110 — 140 dB |
| A．loud music is a major cause of hearing loss |
| B．famous people may have hearing problems |
| C．teenagers should stay away from school bands |
| D．the problem of hearing damage is widely known |
| A．not to be seen | B．to fill with sound |
| C．to become larger in size | D．to make good again |
| A．a list of harmful sounds |
| B．the effect of rock concerts |
| C．the noise levels of sounds |
| D．relationship between daily activities and hearing loss |
| A．When your ears feel warm, your hair cells are dead. |
| B．Drummer Andrew Sather gives good advice. |
| C．Many are at the risk of losing hearing. |
| D．Doctors know how to deal with hearing loss. |
