　　I am often homesick. I have learned something about myself from it. I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s milder winters, I willingly bear the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.

　　I’m like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.

　　So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors-first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate, too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.

　　I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)

　　While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?

　　24. What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island?

　　A. Winters in Florida are milder.

　　B. The snowbirds in Florida are rarer.

　　C. Weather in Florida is severer.

　　D. Florida is nearer to the ocean.

　　22. What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean?

　　A. Coincidence. B. Expectation.

　　C. Unwillingness. D. Motivation.

　　23. Which of the following words can best describe the author?

　　A. Homesick and easy-going.

　　B. Hard-working and serious.

　　C. Imaginative and outspoken,

　　D. Anxious and painful.

　　24. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

　　A. To describe his dream to be a free bird.

　　B. To express his feeling of missing his hometown.

　　C. To praise the beauty and warmth of his family life.

　　D. To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.

　　The typical British employees can expect to spend about £34,000 during their whole working life on the daily costs of being in the office, including tea runs and leaving gifts for colleagues, according to research.

　　A survey of 2,000 office workers across the UK found that the combined cost of Christmas parties and dinners, cards and presents, coffees and teas, sponsorship (赞助) requests, Secret Santa and etc. totaled about £850 a year. Over the course of a 40-year career, that would amount to about £34,000, according to Nationwide Current Account, which carried out the survey.

　　Men generally tend to be unhappier than women about spending money at work, but women are more likely to feel stressed into paying out for work-related items. 42% of men were unhappy about spending money at work Christmas parties, compared with 34% of women. But one in five women said they felt under pressure to spend money at work Christmas parties, compared with just 12% of men.

　　Overall, more than a quarter of people surveyed said they felt pressured when it came to contributing towards birthday and leaving gifts, with 27% of people saying this about gifts for colleagues who were leaving.

　　Nearly 32% said they felt pressured into contributing money to help their colleagues’ charity fund raising efforts.

　　Alan Oliver, Nationwide’s head of external affairs, said, “Working in an office can be an expensive business, especially in big teams. Too many birthdays, retirements and charity fundraisers can take their toll on our wallets and purses. We would recommend putting in only what you can afford. Developing a regular savings habit can also help in meeting many of future life’s financial challenges.”

　　25. If a British man works for 30 years, the daily office costs are totally about .

　　A. £25,500 B. £34,000 C. £20,000 D. £40,000

　　26. Compared with men, women’s reaction to spending money at work Christmas parties is .

　　A. more satisfied B. unhappier

　　C. less concerned D. more stressed

　　27. What does Alan Oliver advise office workers to do?

　　A. Work in big teams.

　　B. Save money for future use.

　　C. Get along well with colleagues.

　　D. Raise enough money to do charity.

　　28. What can be the best title for the text?

　　B. Relations Among the UK Office Workers

　　C. Levels of Happiness of the UK Office Workers

　　D. The Daily Cost of the UK Employees in an Office

　　Missing out on deep sleep can leave you feeling slow-acting and sensitive in the morning, but the consequences don’t necessarily end there. Over time, too little deep sleep may also do harm to your heart by contributing to high blood pressure, a new study suggests.

　　Healthy young and middle-aged adults spend about 25 percent of their sleeping hours in the stages known as deep sleep. This sleep stage has been shown to be important for memory and other mental performance. The new study adds to the growing evidence that deep sleep is also essential to our metabolism (新陈代谢) and heart health.

　　The research should be considered “exploratory”, and it doesn’t prove a direct link between sleep patterns and high blood pressure. But it suggests that “an important aspect of successful aging is the preservation of good sleep quality”. Older people tend to get less deep sleep as they age, and fighting this natural decline—through healthy sleep habits, for example—could be an “extraordinarily important strategy” for heading off high blood pressure.

　　Sleep problems have been linked to high blood pressure before. Sleep apnoea, a disorder in which a person wakes up struggling for breath time and time again, is strongly linked to high blood pressure, though it’s not clear whether the disorder causes high blood pressure.

　　Susan Redline, a professor of sleep medicine, says going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, especially keeping away from alcohol and tobacco before going to bed, and other good “sleep hygiene (卫生)” can help people sleep longer.

　　However, the researchers followed the men’s sleep only on a single night, and they likewise measured blood pressure just once or twice. Therefore, the study failed to rule out factors besides sleep quality, such as diet or medical conditions, which may independently contribute to high blood pressure. More research will be needed to address these shortcomings, the study notes. Nor is it clear whether habitual sleep loss has long-term effects on overall sleep quality and deep sleep.

　　32. What effect does lack of deep sleep have on people?

　　A. Their hearts stop functioning.

　　B. Their metabolism always accelerates.

　　C. They may perform -worse physically and mentally.

　　D. They are less easily hurt in body and spirit.

　　33. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?

　　A. Problems.

　　B. The sleeping men.

　　C. Diseases.

　　D. The researchers.

　　34. Which one is typically good sleep hygiene according to the text?

　　A. Getting up soon after waking up.

　　B. Going to bed early by taking sleep medicine.

　　C. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco before bedtime.

　　D. Trying to sleep as long as possible every day.

　　35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

　　A. Major findings of the study.

　　B. Some limitations of the study.

　　C. Different factors affecting sleep quality.

　　D. Some possible causes of high blood pressure.

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的较佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　Today, the trend in music production is shifting more and more toward home studios. 36 . Do you want to know how music actually is recorded indoors?

　　37

　　Today, we use a more complex process known as multitrack recording where each instrument is recorded separately and combined later in a “mix”. With this new method, it meant that one man could do alone what used to require an entire team of engineers and musicians.

　　The editing process

　　Now that you’ve finished recording your tracks, it’s time to clean them up. The reason is that there will always be some mistakes that can be fixed, no matter how careful you were in the last step. 38 . They’re arrangement, comping (伴奏), noise reduction, time editing and pitch (高音) editing.

　　The mixing process

　　Once the tracks are arranged, the next goal is to make them combine as one connected unit, which is called the process of “mixing”. 39 . There are certain fundamental tasks that everyone does. One task is balancing faders, which is done so that no instrument sounds too loud or soft.

　　The mastering process

　　Before your song is ready to be mastered, all tracks must be “re-recorded” down to a single stereo file, as we commonly know. Once that’s done, various mastering techniques are used to put the finishing touches on your song, 40 . And if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can easily make things worse, rather than better.

　　A. The recording process

　　B. The combining process

　　C. To put it simply, mastering is hard

　　D. Typically, editing is made up of five common tasks

　　E. Mixing is an art form in itself and can be done in many ways

　　F. Editing is the most important part in the process of music production

　　G. Great music is being produced in bedrooms or garages by normal folks like you and me

　　第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，15分)

　　阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　It wasn’t until the 19th century 61 Americans began to celebrate Christmas. Americans reinvented Christmas, and 62 (change) it from a carnival holiday into a family-centered day of peace and homesickness. But what about the 1800s pushing American interest in the holiday to the peak?

　　The early 19th century was a period of class conflict. Unemployment rate 63 (be) high and gang rioting (帮派骚乱) by the disappointed classes often occurred during the Christmas season. In 1828, the New York city council instituted the city’s first police force in response to a Christmas riot. These certain 64 (member) of the upper classes began to change the way Christmas 65 (celebrate) in America.

　　In 1819, best-selling author Washington Irving wrote The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, gent., 66 series of stories about the celebration of Christmas in an English house. The stories featured a squire (乡绅) 67 invited the farmers into his home for the holiday. In contrast to the problems in American society, the two groups combined effortlessly. In Irving’s mind, Christmas should be a 68 (peace), warm-hearted holiday 69 (bring) groups together across lines of wealth or social status. Irving’s book, however, was not based on any holiday celebration—in fact, many historians say Irving 70 (actual) “invented” tradition by implying that it described the true customs of the season.
