Ⅳ.阅读理解

主题语境:人与社会　体裁:说明文

A study of 500,000 songs released (发行) in the UK between 1985 and 2015 showed that pop music had decreased in happiness and increased in sadness.

In a report published in the journal RoyalSocietyOpenScience,researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood.“‘Happiness’ is going down,‘sadness’ is going up,and at the same time,the songs are becoming more ‘danceable’ and more ‘party-like’,” co-author Natalia L.Komarova told TheAssociatedPress.

The study found songs in 2014 like StaywithMe by Sam Smith,Whispers by Passenger and Unmissable by Gorgon City have a “low happiness” trend.However,tracks from 1984 like GloryDays by Bruce Springsteen,WouldILietoYou? by Eurythmics and Freedom by Wham had a “high happiness” trend.“The public seems to prefer happier songs,even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year,” the researchers wrote.

Apart from the emotional trends,researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend,with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s.“So it looks like,while the overall mood is becoming less happy,people seem to want to forget it all and dance,” Komarova wrote in an email.

It was also found that the “maleness” of songs — the frequency of male singers in popular music — had decreased during the last 30 years.“Successful songs are characterised by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs,” they wrote.

This discovery appears at a time when the conversation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height,with more male artists and songwriters.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Pop Music Is Getting Sadder

B.Music Calls for Sex Equality

Dear Mr Green,

I am Li Hua from China,and I decided to fly to the UK for my winter vacation.I have booked my hotel on the Internet.I am writing to ask you for some information before I get there.

To begin with,my flight is scheduled to arrive at Heathrow Airport at 8 p.m.on February 13.I wonder if it is convenient for me to get to the hotel by public transport given possible delays.Besides,I’d like to know more details about the accommodation,especially something about the meals,as I didn’t find that on the webpage.More importantly,could you recommend some attractions to visit?London has always been my dream place to explore the English culture,but with too many choices,recommendations from you will be valuable and highly appreciated.

Looking forward to your reply and seeing you soon in London.

All the best.

Yours,

Li Hua

Ⅵ.读后续写

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

We have a pit bull (比特犬).We found him a few weeks ago,walking along the road in a rural area.He jumping on cars,we thought maybe his family was camping somewhere nearby,so we passed him by.A few hours later,on our return trip,he was still in the same place,again,trying to get folks to stop for him.When he saw us,he laid down in the middle of the road,so we were unable to get around him.

We stopped the car and looked around for a few minutes,trying to figure out if anyone was around from whom he was separated.It didn’t appear so.Then,we took a good look at the dog.He had no collar and he was really thin.We decided he was abandoned.

My husband said,“If he doesn’t bite me when I try to pick him up,then we have a new dog.” The dog happily joined us with no fight at all.The only thing we were in danger of was getting licked to death.He kept sticking his head between the two front seats and thanking us for picking him up.

The dog was clearly on the road for some time.He was extremely under weight.He was covered in scars and new wounds.We have guessed that some of the scars were from when he was on the road.We thought of possible fights with coyotes,but he also looked as though he was used to fighting other dogs.We figured his incredibly sweet personality was the reason he was abandoned.He couldn’t have been a good fighting dog.

Therefore,we fed him a lot over the course of the next two weeks and he gained over twenty pounds.

注意:续写词数应为150左右。

We took him to the vet. 

Now we all love the dog very much.He once helped save me from trouble. 

参考范文

Wetookhimtothevet,who said the dog appeared to be in good health,despite his having been abandoned.He figured out the dog is about two or three years of age,from the condition of his teeth.Then the vet gave him all the required shots and applied some medicine to the scars and new wounds.About a month later,the dog changed into a strong and lovely one.He is both sweet and gentle.

Nowwealllovethedogverymuch.Heoncehelpedsavemefromtrouble.One day my husband went to work in a hurry,forgetting to turn off the gas.I was sleeping soundly when I heard the dog barking like crazy.I was woken up,realizing something unusual must have happened in our house.It turned out that the house was filled with gas,which made me in danger.I owed it to the dog that I avoided a disaster.Since then,the pit bull has become a member of our family.
