Publishers hope to exploit(利用) the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniment.‎ The noise in the first multimedia books—released in Britain—include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. Works by Oscar Wilde and Rudyard Kipling are also available. When the plot of a book reaches a climax(高潮), background music will create tension. In America, works by Shakespeare and Jane Austen have already been released with music and background noise so that, for example, readers can hear tea cups clinking in Mr Darcy’s garden as they read Pride and Prejudice.‎ Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for ebooks and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noises will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated(激发) by reading.‎ Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency PFD, said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said: “ Concentration now is such that people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”‎ Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch(同步), a click on any word will re-set it.‎ Some authors fear a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, the bestseller now released as a film, said:” this sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction. I have enough trouble reading an ebook because I’m constantly disturbed by emails and so I’ve given up on it for the time being.”‎ Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an ebook bestseller, ‎ sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said: “If I’m reading, I will do the noises in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what crunching gravel(嘎吱响的石子)sounds like. That would annoy me.”‎ PFD: Peters Fraser +Dunlop is one of the longest-established literary and talent agencies in London representing writers, broadcasters, speakers and journalists, etc.‎ ‎51．The ebook soundtrack is intended to ________.‎ A. make readers focus on the story ‎ B. help readers with unknown vocabulary C. strengthen readers’ impression of characters ‎ D. add tension when the book reaches an exciting point ‎52．Caroline Michel thinks that computer-literate readers ______.‎ A. ignore the multiple sensory input B. focus on enjoying the pleasure of reading C. are used to doing several things at the same time D. consider the soundtrack’s influence on reading speed ‎53. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to .‎ A. the soundtrack B. the speed of reading C. the software D. the required time ‎54．What is David Nicholls’ attitude towards the soundtrack?‎ A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective.‎ ‎55．The text is most probably taken from _______.‎ A. a science textbook B. a newspaper report C. a book review D. a personal diary C Characters such as Kung Fu Panda and the Karate Kid are inspiring children to try the growing number of martial arts courses available for ages three upwards. It’s not about fighting. Well-taught classes can teach more serious values in an easily distracted generation.‎ Jay Savery teaches a discipline known as Yoshinkan Aikido(养神馆合气道). It’s here that I decide to take my own children for a beginner’s course. “Aikido is non-aggressive,” Jay explains, “because it focuses on redirecting an attacker’s force rather than opposing it making it perfect for anyone of any size.”‎ For the next hour he cajole(哄诱) and encourages my children into having a good time while teaching them something completely new. He’s a natural coach with an excellent manner and I’ve not seen my two move this much in ages! At the end of the lesson they can both execute(实现) a perfectly controlled forward roll.‎ ‎“Every aspect of the training is designed to teach the student, whatever their age, that they are responsible for their own actions. It’s about understanding principles such as honour, integrity (正直), honesty, respect and recognizing the difference between right and wrong,” says Jay.‎ Children are starting learning martial arts younger than ever. Nicky Cox teaches Wado Ryu Karate to four to six-year-olds at a club in Nottingham. “Different children react in different ways to the teaching,” she says. “The naturally confident and energetic ones buzz(喧闹) around, while the shy children gain in confidence as they progress through the training.”‎ The parents say that the combination of learning a physical activity in a structured environment has done wonders for their children’s general demeanor(品行)， and say it’s a high point of their week.‎ Julie Kitchen, 12-times World Muay Thai Boxing champion, agrees. With husband Nathan she runs popular classes for all ages at Toughgloves in Penzance. Their 12-year-l=old twin daughter, Amber and Allaya, have been kick-boxing since they were three and are junior champions. “It has definitely given them a sense of understanding that if you work hard at something then you’ll reap the rewards,” says Julie.‎ ‎56. What’s the author’s attitude towards Jay Savery?‎ ‎ A. Positive. B. Uncertain. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.‎ ‎57. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to _______.‎ ‎ A. Aikido B. an attacker’s force ‎ C. karate D. the martial arts course ‎58. From what Nicky says, we can learn that martial arts training _________.‎ ‎ 　A. can teach the students to be responsible ‎ B. makes students understand honour, honesty and respect ‎ C. can improve children’s confidence ‎ D. helps children get along with each other ‎59. It’s implied in the passage that ________.‎ ‎ A. there are not martial arts courses for children under 4‎ ‎ B. boys love martial arts more than girls ‎ C. parents speak highly of the martial arts course ‎ ‎ D. more and more adults like to learn martial arts ‎60. What can we know about Julie Kitchen from the last Paragraph?‎ ‎ A. She has won the World Muay Thai Boxing champion twice.‎ ‎ B. She doesn’t think martial arts are suitable for children.‎ ‎ C. Her daughters run martial arts classes.‎ ‎ D. Her daughters do well in kick-boxing.‎ 第Ⅱ卷（45分）‎ 第四部分：英语知识综合运用（共两节，满分10分）‎ 第一节：词汇应用（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 根据句意和所给的中英文释义、单词或首字母写出相应单词、短语的正确形式，使意思通顺。‎ ‎61.

Recently I ‎ stopped by the stadium to see the program in action and learn more about the way that the Cleveland Browns Hospitality Group handles food waste.‎ Jessica Jacobson, General Manager at the stadium, told me that about 10,000 pounds of unsold and untouched food from the stadium gets donated to the Cleveland Food Bank each year. But the rest of the food scraps-pre-consumer scraps like peels and bones and post-consumer food that people may not have finished eating-get turned into renewable energy.‎ ‎“After every game, food scraps head to the stadium’s Grind Energy unit, where the food takes about four to five days to be ground up,” Jacobson said. Once the scraps pass through the system, the scraps are pumped into a sealed(密封的) holding tank and final step in the process begins.‎ ‎“The food then gets taken away to Quasar Energy Group’s digester, where bacteria break down organics without oxygen and produce methane(甲烷) gas Mark Suchan, Operation Manager at Quasar Energy Group, said. “That gas is then run through a generator where it is turned into electricity,” he added.‎ ‎“Within 25 days the food breaks down and it’ll—generate methane gas that we’ll use to generate methane electricity for about 900 homes locally,” he said. 1. It “And we also produce natural gas from the methane and that powers our vehicles as well.”‎ When I left the stadium, I hoped that more such programs would be started to utilize more food scraps.‎ ‎81.
