On October 11, NASCAR announced the car of tomorrow after a seven-year design program. People used to believe that science would promise a future of endless spare time and very cheap electricity. Nowadays the scientists’ predictions are a great deal less optimistic: the world is challenged by climate change and decreasing resources.

In fact, the car of tomorrow is a symbol of hope. The emission of carbon dioxide has contributed to global warming, but the car producers are waking up to their responsibilities. Investment in new technology to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental damage is not only improving the car industry’s act but also setting an example to other industries.

Whether these creations will eventually become family cars remains to be seen.

Schools are under constant pressure to make budget cuts, and music programs are often first on the chopping block. However, a recent study from the University of British Columbia in Canada has shown that students who took music lessons in high school performed better in subjects such as English, science, and math.

The researchers collected data from over 100,000 students at public high schools across the province of British Columbia. Some of them took music lessons during high school while others never attended them. Checking the test scores of students who took music classes with those of their peers, the study found that the musicians got higher grades in a range of different school subjects.

Research like this has been done before, but as for the number of respondents, this study is much larger, and it took into account other factors that may have affected the results. For example, perhaps students who took music classes were encouraged to do so because they already had good grades. This UBC study rules out a number of other factors that could explain why music students performed better academically, and the researchers still find a clear effect of music lessons on academic performance.

Not only did music students perform better than non-musicians, but students who played an instrument did even better than those who sang. “Learning to play a musical instrument and playing in an ensemble(乐团) is very rewarding,” says Martin Guhn, one of the researchers, “A student can learn to read music notes, achieve eye-hand-mind coordination, develop keen listening skills and establish interpersonal relationships.”

What this study doesn't tell us, though, is why music makes these students perform better academically, but the research paper mentions a few possible explanations. Music practice is linked with neurological(神经系统的) changes that improves certain brain functions, affecting memory and planning skills. Besides, there is a possible motivational factor. Students who take music lessons see a tangible result from practice—they get better—and they might apply that to their other work. And the non-competitive team aspect of making music together could strengthen students' social development, which would also help them in other alias.

1.How did the researchers find the result of the research?

A.By conducting tests. B.By analyzing causes.

C.By making comparisons. D.By building models.

2.How is the recent study different from previous ones?

A.It covered more school subjects.

B.It allowed for students who sang.

C.It was carried out nationwide.

D.It produced a more convincing result.

3.Why did the author mention Martin Guhn's words in Paragraph 4?

A.To speak highly of music students.

B.To explain why music helps students perform better.

C.To present the benefits of playing instruments.

D.To encourage students to join an ensemble.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Music practice can make an overall improvement in students’ brain.

B.Progress made in music may motivate students to work harder in math.

C.Singing can't make any difference in improving students' memory.

D.Playing in an orchestra could make students less competitive in other fields.

Yuan Guiren, Minister of Education, announced some measures to reform the NCEE, known as Gaokao, for this year in a media conference.

The first measure is to balance the recruiting quota(招生配额) around the nation, with particular emphasis on recruiting more students in central and western provinces.

In addition to this, Yuan said that 200,000 places would be available in the universities in eastern China for students from western China.

The third measure is to cancel some policies that allow students with special talents to receive extra points on their final result of the NCEE. “All national-level bonus marks for Gaokao will be cancelled in 2015, while over 60 percent of the province-level bonuses will be cut. Ten provinces have already canceled the policies while other provinces have cut down 63 percent of the policies,” said Yuan. The policy was originally introduced to be aimed at making Gaokao fairer because some students have special abilities but fail to get high scores in the national exams. Yet, it has been abused by corrupt officials to get the bonus marks for their children. This is a good example of corruption ruining a good policy.

Additionally, all students can recommend themselves for independent recruitment in some education institutions without any restrictions. Schools can also recommend their students to some universities.

The date for independent recruitment is scheduled for after the NCEE in 2015, and universities will be required to publicize their recruiting requirements, processes and results.

The last measure mentioned by Yuan is to gradually unify the NCEE around the nation. Students in three more provinces will sit for the same exams in 2015. Seven more provinces, totaling 25 provinces, will use the same exam format(版式) in 2016.

1.The passage is most probably taken from a(n) ______.

A. opening address B. historical book

C. news report D. science report

2.How many measures are mentioned for the Gaokao reform in the passage?

A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. More students in eastern China can enter western universities.

B. Independent recruitment will take place after Gaokao in 2015.

C. The policy of bonus marks were designed for corrupt officials.

D. 25 provinces will use the same NCEE format in 2015.

4.The best title for the passage could be “______”.

A. Extra points to be Cancelled

B. The NCEE to be Unified

C. Chances to Favour Western Students

D. China to Reform NCEE
