    In a faraway country, there were two carpenters (木匠) who were both so good at their job that no one could tell who was better.

    One day, the country's king thought of a way to figure out which one was better. He would have them compete against each other in a contest. The winner would become the official royal（皇家的）carpenter.

    The king sent for the two carpenters and the contest began. The carpenters were given three days to carve (雕刻) a wooden mouse. Whoever carved the most lifelike mouse would be the winner.

    The first carpenter carved a fine mouse with vivid (生动的) and lifelike feature. The second carpenter's mouse, however, looked quite rough. In fact, it hardly even looked like a mouse at all.

    The king and his ministers (大臣) agreed that the first carpenter was the winner.

    The second carpenter said, "This judgment is unfair. We should ask a cat which mouse looks the most realistic. Cats can recognize mice much better than humans, after all."

    The king thought this was a good idea. He ordered his ministers to catch several cats and bring them to judge (评判) the carpenters' mice. Surprisingly, all of the cats were more attracted to the second carpenter's mouse.

    The king asked the second carpenter, "How did you make the cats believe that your mouse looked more real?" The carpenter said, "Your Majesty, if you look closely, you can see that I carved a mouse holding a fishbone! The cats care not about how real it looks, but how delicious it might taste."

    1.Whose carved mouse looked quite rough?

    A.Neither of the two carpenters' B.Both of the two carpenters'

    C.The first carpenter's D.The second carpenter's

    2.Why did they catch some cats to judge the two carpenters' works?

    A.Because they thought cats could recognize mice much better than humans.

    B.Because people didn't like the two carpenters' carved mice.

    C.Because they wanted to cancel the difficult contest.

    D.Because they all wanted to become the official royal carpenter.

    3.What’s the correct order of the following things?

    ① They caught some cats to judge the two carpenters' carved mice.

    ② The second carpenter became the final winner at last.

    ③ The king and his ministers agreed the first carpenter was the winner.

    ④ The king held a contest to choose the best carpenter.

    A.①②③④ B.④③①② C.③②①④ D.④②①③

    4.What's the best title of this article?

    A.Two Silly Carpenters. B.An Unfair Contest.

    C.A Clever Carpenter. D.A Mouse and Cats.

    Tons of people enjoy listening to different types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Many believe that music helps get the creative juices flowing, but an international new study is challenging that view by putting volunteers through a series of tests.

    The study was performed as a joint partnership between psychologists at three universities in Europe. The results suggest that any task that relies on verbal(与文字有关的) creativity was impaired(削弱) when listening to any type of music.

    Subjects(受试者) in the project all spoke English as their first language, and had no problem in their sight or hearing.

    The tasks were simple word games. For example, subjects were given three words, such as dress, shine, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word which could be connected with all three to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc).

    Subjects completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while they were played background music with foreign lyrics(歌词), English lyrics, and instrumental music with no lyrics at all.

    The research team also tested the library background noises, but found that such noises had no great difference in subjects’ creativity. The study’s authors believe that was the case because library noise is a “steady state” environment which is not as disruptive(扰乱的). Music with or without lyrics is characterized by changes in pitch or tone.

    It’s worth mentioning that even familiar music with well known lyrics impaired subjects’ creativity, even when subjects declared that they worked or studied with music on regularly and the music improved their overall mood.

    So next time you sit down for a study session with those lo-fi beats, you may be giving your brain something else to focus on rather than your work.

    1.What does “that view” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

    A.Listening to music while working is so common.

    B.People enjoy listening to different types of music.

    C.Listening to music impairs creativity.

    D.Music helps improve our creativity.

    2.According to the word game in Paragraph 4, if volunteers are given three words “foot, base, basket”, what is the single word?

    A.Case. B.Line. C.Print. D.Ball.

    3.Which of the following had no great difference in performance of the verbal tasks?

    A.Familiar music with well known lyrics.

    B.The quiet and library noise conditions.

    C.Background music with foreign lyrics.

    D.Instrumental music with no lyrics.

    4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

    A.Music cannot disrupt the verbal working memory of the disabled.

    B.Different kinds of music impair different parts of our brains.

    C.You may do your best work without listening to music.

    D.Library noises are characterized by changes in pitch or tone.
