求2009高考北京英语 完型和阅读B C D的翻译

B
Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.

Sincerely,
Kristi Holl, Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature

How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings
Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical（经验的，实证的） basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.
Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim（暗淡的） light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw（吸管）," architect David Allison says. "How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're all struggling with."

64. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
A. Light. B. Ceilings. C. Windows. D. Furniture.
【答案】B。
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知Joan Meyers-Levy focus on ceilings.
65. The passage tells us that ______.
A. the shape of furniture may affect people's feelings
B. lower ceilings may help improve students' creativity
C. children in a dim classroom may improve their grades
D. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed
【答案】A。
【解析】细节判断题。根据文中内容可知B,C和D均是错误的。
66. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ______.
A. the problem is not approached step by step
B. the researches so far have faults in themselves
C. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect
D. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns
【答案】D。
【解析】句意猜测题。根据划线句子后面的一句话可以知道该题的正确答案为:D。
67. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point（次要点） C: Conclusion
【答案】C。
【解析】考查文章结构。注意解题技巧。第一段为总要点，最后一段为结论，要点123共同服务于结论，重要的是要点二又包含了两个次要点(视觉上：颜色的作用和窗外视野的作用)。综上分析可知答案为:C。

家具设计是如何影响我们工作和感情的
建筑师长久以来就感觉到我们生活的地方可能会影响我们的思想，感情和行为，但现在科学家正给予这种感情实证的基础。他们正在发掘如何设计促进创造力，使人们集中，并放松的空间。
研究表明，各方面的物质环境可以影响创造力。 2007年，琼迈耶斯，利维在美国明尼苏达大学的报告说，一个房间天花板的高度影响人们如何去思考。她的研究表明，更高的天花板鼓励人们更加自由的思考，这可能导致他们做出更多的抽象联想。低的天花板，另一方面，可能会激发更详细的展望。
此外，天花板的高度，所建筑物所提供的视野可能会影响到工作人员的注意力。南希井和她的同事发现，在康奈尔大学的研究，那些经历了在绿色方面大幅度提高的全家搬家的孩子们，在注意力的测试水平上有了巨大的提高。
运用天性去改善关注的焦点应该在学术上取得成功，它似乎是，根据由佐治亚大学负责学术设计与规划实验室的肯尼思唐纳领导的一项研究显示。唐纳和他的研究小组发现，距离窗子至少50英尺远的拥有畅通视野的教室学生比那些基本上忽视道路和停车场的学生在词汇、语言艺术和数学的测试上有更高的分数。
最近一项关于室内照明设计的研究表明，暗淡的灯光有助于人们放松。如果这大体上是真的，在晚宴或是聚会上保持低的光线可以增加放松。哈佛医学院的研究人员还发现，带有圆角边缘的家具可以帮助参观者放松。
迄今科学家们主要集中在公共建筑。 “我们有一个数量非常有限的研究，因此，我们看问题几乎是管中窥豹 ”建筑师大卫艾里森说。 “你怎么回答非常具体的问题，并把它们广泛的，普遍的运用呢？这就是我们都苦苦挣扎的事情。

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
68. According to Paragraph 1, students
A. regard music as a way of entertainment
B. disagree with their parents on education
C. view music as an overlooked subject
D. prefer the arts to science
【答案】A。
【解析】从第一段我们可以知道，学生们一般把music列为entertainment，列为not important。所以正确的答案为:A
69. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz an example to
A. compare it with rock music
B. show music identifies a society
C. introduce American musical traditions
D. prove music influences people’s lifestyles
【答案】B。
【解析】推理判断题。通过第二段最后三行的描述，特别是最后一句话，我们可以断定该题的正确答案为:B。
70. According to the passage, the arts and science .
A. approach the world from different angles
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C express people’s feelings in different ways
D. explain what it means to be human differently
【答案】A。
【解析】推理判断题。通读文章我们知道艺术和科学从不同的角度来审视社会。而不是用不同的方式来表达人们的情感。
71. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Music education deserves more attention.
B. Music should be of top education priority.
C. Music is an effective communication tool.
D. Music education makes students more imaginative.
【答案】A。
【解析】主旨大意题。第一段话引出话题，表明人们对音乐的不重视，然后作者从不同方面来论证自己的观点：音乐应该得到人们更多的关注。
【翻译】：当学生和家长的要求根据重要性去评估学科，艺术就不可避免的排在了清单的底部。音乐很不错，人们似乎说，但并不重要。它往往被视为单纯的娱乐，但肯定不是优先教育。这种看法是短浅的。事实上，音乐教育对所有的学生是有益的、重要的。
音乐告诉我们我们是谁。因为音乐是一种人类表达方式，它反映了他们的思想和价值观，以及来自的社会环境。摇滚音乐就好像舒伯特的歌曲一样代表了一种生活方式。爵士影响了乔治格什温和其他音乐家引入到他们的音乐，这显然是美国人，因为它来自美国音乐的传统。音乐表达了我们的性格和价值观。它给予我们社会身份。
音乐提供了一种不能以任何其他方式获得的感知。科学可以解释为什么太阳升起和降落。艺术探索同样的现象情感的含义。我们需要一切可能的方式来发现和回应我们这个世界的一个简单而有力的理由是：没有一种方法可以得到这一切。
艺术是和数学和科学符号一样强大的作为沟通内容的思维形式。他们是我们人类相互“对话”的方式。他们是文明的语言，通过它我们可以表达我们的担心，我们的好奇心，我们的渴望，我们发现，我们的希望。
艺术我们思想和想象力形式的表达方式，以便于使它们能够与他人分享。一但我们没有给孩子一个重要表达自己如音乐的方式的机会，我们就剥夺了他们表达音乐的意译。
科学和技术并没有告诉我们什么是人权。艺术却做到了。音乐是一种表达我们人类苦难，庆祝活动，和平与爱的意义和价值的重要方式。
因此，音乐教育是人类更有必要去实行的。
