6.【题文】There is a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedy- the former scares you to half death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor with laughter. But try watching them without the background music. You just decide they’re not so different after all.
Music and movies have been intertwined since the dawn of motion picture, even before the voices of actors were recorded. In movies, music helps to provide a sense of time and place, convey ideas about the characters and, most importantly, draw emotions out of the audience.
Studies have long shown that our heart rates and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the speeds of the music we hear. Film composers armed with this knowledge will use strong changes in music speed to arouse fear among audiences. Slowing the speed of the music will create the opposite effect, bringing about a sense of inner peace.
The use of dissonant(不协调的) tones and noises is another technique that heightens tensions. Humans will naturally become uneasy when we hear dissonant sounds because such noises are typically associated with danger, like those that animals make to warn against predators(捕食者). As a result, countless horror movies soundtracks use instrument combinations like double basses and high, screeching(尖刺的) violins.
As vital as it is, the best film music is subtle (巧妙的). All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotion-they shouldn’t realize what has caused it. Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects.
In keeping with this principle, some film makers are even using what’s called “infrasound(次声波)” to bring about fear. While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency is below that range of the human ear, infrasound has been proven to cause anxiety, shivering (颤抖) and even sorrow. For example, infrasound was used in the soundtrack of the 2007 horror movie Paranormal Activity, and audiences reported extremely high fear levels despite the lack of action throughout the movie. “It doesn’t affect everyone equally,” said British science writer Philip Ball, but he predicted that “we all see more of it in movies in the future”. 1. What is the article mainly about?
A. The differences between horror movies and comedies. B. The fearful effect of adding infrasound in movies. C. How filmmakers employ music to affect our emotions.
D. Why is it important to use background music in a movie.
2. The underlined word in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____? A. well prepared B. partly separated C. changed gradually D. closely linked 3. To arouse fear among audiences, film soundtracks _____. A. carry odd and loud music inside
B. apply inharmonious sounds and noises C. slow down the speed of music
D. use instrument combinations like violins and pianos 4. According to the article, infrasound _____. A. is not easy for the audience to notice. B. makes the audience at peace
C. has the same effect on audiences
D. is used to make up for the lack of action in movies

th
2 Even in the early mid-20 century, natural left-handers were taught to use their right hand anyway. Such theories have been denied by the scientific community. Genetics
The leading theories regarding why some people are right-handed or left-handed have something to do with genetics. Geneticists believe that natural selection and human activities over time have favored the gene for right handedness. They attribute the difference to two different genes. The D gene produces right-handed people with the C gene are right-handers, some are left-handers and some are either. Biology
The biological theory relies on the different abilities of different areas of the brain. __3 Others argue that some people do use the right side for language but this theory wouldn’t explain why there are so few left-handers. The Shield
Some have put forward the idea that left-handedness relates to where a soldier holds his shield. Because the heart is on the left side of the body, a soldier who held his shield with his left hand would be better protected. _4__ Creativity
Some have claimed that left-handers are more creative than right-handers, pointing to a long list of famous left-handers including Leonardo Da Vinci and Albert Einstein
as examples. __5__ Critics, however, point out that there are also many right-handed creative people and that there are many photos showing Einstein drawing with his right hand.
A. There is not enough evidence yet to answer the question.
B. Because the left side of the brain handles language in most people, most people
would be right-handed.
C. If this is true, it might help lead to answers.
D. Others point out that according to cave paintings, most were right-handers
before humans started using shields.
E. Left-handedness used to be seen as a sign of brain damage.
F. However, people who suffer some type of injury or have a disability in one hand frequently learn to use the other.
G. Left-handed people tend to be better at problem-solving skills and have larger vocabularies than the average.

【答案】Dear Sir / Madam,
My name is Li Hua. I would like to work as a volunteer for the International Youth Games in 2015.
As a senior high school student, I’m crazy about English and practice speaking English in everyday life. For example, I often chat with some foreign net-pals, which really contributes to my fluency in oral English. Besides, I’m open-minded, quick in thought and fond of social practice, which I think is a quality that a qualified volunteer should have. Above all, being a native of the city, I do know a lot about its history and culture. So I’m sure that the foreigners will appreciate my sincere service and enjoy their stay in our city. I would appreciate it if my application could be granted. And I’ll spare no effort to ensure everyone’s satisfaction Looking forward to your reply.
Yours Sincerely
Li Hua
