4. D.www.princeedwardtheatre.co.uk B Jenny, a fifth-grader, is considered one of the most popular girls in her class. She is admired not just for her looks, but for her talent for dance. Last year, she entered the school’s dance competition and won the first place, with her whole class cheering her on. Since then, she has been the center of attention. This year, however, there was a change—the competition required dancing in pairs. Jenny’s classmates held high hopes for her to win again this year. However, Jenny was uncertain about the result. She wanted to compete, but she had never danced with a partner before. As she was turned down by the boys in her class due to their lack (缺乏) of dance skills, Jenny began to feel hesitant (犹豫) about entering the competition. She finally turned to her close friend Carl, whom she had known since first grade. Lacking confidence in his dancing abilities, Carl was hesitant at first. But Jenny insisted. He finally agreed to join her. Jenny was happy. However, she was still worried because she knew her class was counting on her to win. But the challenge was greater this time, as Carl was not a skilled dancer. With the competition two months away, only time would tell if they could succeed. With strong will and enough practice, Jenny believed they could improve their chances of winning. Jenny and Carl practiced a lot and worked together. At the competition, they danced amazingly well and won! When friends help each other, they can achieve anything.

Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as good as reading a paper book? You need to find time available and a quiet place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too. But the big question is, do we get as much knowledge from audiobooks as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same content (内容). It turned out that they recalled as much information, whether they listened to or read it. Another study from The Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activated (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading did. However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often doing some other tasks at the same time. “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’ re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a researcher at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times.

1. A.They are easier to take.
2. B.They offer choices in content.
3. C.They improve people’s eyesight.
4. D.They free people in time and place.

1. A.People recalled more information from reading paper books.
2. B.Listening activated different parts of the brain from reading.
3. C.People can read and listen to the same content at the same time.
4. D.Listening makes no difference in recalling information from reading.

1. A.People need to stay focused while reading.
2. B.People often do other tasks while listening.
3. C.People actually learn better from audiobooks.
4. D.People have to activate the brain to learn better.

1. A.B.
2. B.D. D Sounds from human activities spread across the ocean, causing much trouble to ocean animals. However, according to a new study, climate change might influence how sound travels through the water. Human-caused climate change influences the ocean in many ways such as changing its temperature, salt level, and acidity (酸度). For example, when the water becomes more acidic, it can’t take in certain sounds. So those sounds travel further, adding to the noise in some areas. However, this effect (影响) is not as big as other changes. Changes like temperature and salt level can affect how the ocean’s different layers (层) mix. That, in turn, affects how sound travels. Researchers used computers to model how those changes influence noise levels across the ocean. They compared the models of the world now to those of the world in about 70 years if climate change continues. In the North Atlantic, they saw an increase in sound levels in the upper 125 meters of the Ocean. This was caused mostly by ice melting (融化) from Greenland, forming a cold layer of water near the Ocean’s surface. When sound travels through water, it turns toward the coldest layer. This made sound waves get stuck in the cold top layer and spread further out across the water instead of traveling deeper. As a result, the sound became louder at this depth in the North Atlantic. The rising noise levels in the Atlantic Ocean are worrying as they could disturb animals’ communication, hunting and travelling. Sharks already avoid loud ships, but with noise levels increasing everywhere, what will happen?

1. A.Sea level.
2. B.Wind speed.
3. C.Water temperature.
4. D.Ocean acidity.

1. A.By modeling changes in ocean noise levels.
2. B.By finding areas with increasing ocean noise.
3. C.By doing field research in the North Atlantic.
4. D.By comparing today’s ice size to that of the future.

1. A.It can be easily blocked by ice.
2. B.It can get stuck by the seaside.
3. C.It goes towards the colder areas.
4. D.It travels faster in the deep ocean.

1. A.Ice melting brings changes to water level.
2. B.Some ocean animals keep away from ships.
3. C.The more the ocean is acidic, the more sounds it takes in.
4. D.Climate change may influence the way sounds travel in the ocean.
