It is 36 a bit like in English. I know 37 I am supposed to put my tongue to make the sound but it just does not sound right.
Moreover, learning Chinese characters is by no means a（n） 38 task for me. Now， I can read those characters with the Chinese phonetic alphabet quite well in text books but 39 else that is not written in this way。 I* m sparing no 40 to work on it and I have learnt about 150 so far.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项A、B、C和D 中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In the UK， 12 to 16 year olds are the most vulnerable（易受伤的 ）group of young people—six out of ten have either been involved in a road accident or know someone who has．Research suggests that young people of this age can be easily made absent—minded。 60% of teenagers say their attention may be disturbed by using mobiles and talking to friends when crossing roads。 They aren't thinking about the traffic when they step off the pavement. An 18-year-olq driver is far more likely to be involved in a crash than a 48-year—old one. One in five drivers crash within their first year of driving and, as such (照此)， new drivers add to accident and casualty rates on our roads.个人收集整理，勿做商业用途
Most road traffic injuries can be prevented or reduced. Children and young people themselves can help reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads. The possibility of being involved in an accident immediately reduces when children learn about the risks and possible dangers on the road。 They should know the Green Cross Code-Stop, Look and Listen! —from school。 Children should always use selected crossing where they can consider possible dangers of the road before stepping out. Wearing a crash helmet when cycling or riding a scooter and wearing seat belts in the car are simple ways of reducing the chances of being killed or seriously injured in an accident.文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络
Up to 85 ％ of preventable pre—hospital deaths from road crashes could be avoided if first aid was carried out before the emergency services arrive。 It is possible that children walking to school might be the first to arrive at the scene of a crash and their first aid knowledge could save lives。
Basic first aid can be learned by almost anyone。 Children over the age of nine can understand and learn many first aid rules which could be helpful at an accident scene。 They can learn to keep calm and help others remain calm。 They can call for help， keep the injured warm, keep others out of danger by making the area safe and perform any first aid techniques that they have learnt until the emergency services arrive。
51。 Why are teenagers more likely to get involved in road accidents?
A。 They don't like stepping off the pavement。
B. They use mobiles or talk with friends on the road.
C. They fail to fix their attention on the surroundings on the road.
D. They are allowed to use cell phones in different places。

52。 What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A。 Teach children the proper way of crossing the road。
B. Warn children of possible dangers of the road.
C. How to help the children seriously injured on the roads.
D. How to help the young to reduce or prevent road accidents。
53。 The underlined words ”Green Cross Code" in Paragraph 2 may refer to ”____”.
A。 traffic safety rules B。 possible danger signs
C. emergency services D。 first aid knowledge
54。 A ten—year-old child can do all of the following at an accident scene except ____。
A。 carrying out first aid techniques properly
B。 keeping calm and helping others remain calm
C. calling for help and keeping talking to the injured
D. keeping the injured warm and warning others of the danger
B
There’ s a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedy—the former scares you half to 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 beginning of motion pictures, 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 sudden changes in music speed to arouse fear among audiences。 Slowing the speed of the music will have the opposite effect， bringing about a sense of peace.
The use of dissonant (不协调的) tones and noises is another technique that heightens tension。 Humans naturally become unnerved （不安的） when we hear dissonant sounds because such noises are usually associated with danger， like those that animals make to warn against predators（捕食者）. As a result, countless horror movie soundtracks use instrument combinations like double basses (重低音) and high, screeching (尖利的） violins。
As crucial as it is, the best film music is subtle. All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotion—they shouldn’t realize what caused it. Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects.
In keeping with this-principle， some filmmakers are even using what’s called ”infrasound （次声波） " to arouse fear。 While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency is below the 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 will see more of it used in movies in the future".文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络
55。 What is the article mainly about?
A. The effects of using infrasound in movies。
B. The differences between horror movies and comedies。
C。 Why it is important to use background music in a movie.
D. How filmmakers make use of music to affect our emotions。

56. The underlined word ”intertwined” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to____。
A. well prepared B. closely connected
C. meant to attract attention D. changed gradually
57. To arouse fear among audiences
