Ⅲ.閱讀理解(每小題2分,共30分)
(A)
Once upon a time, there was a father and a son. The son was very rude and often hurt others’ feelings with bitter words. So he had no friends and got more and more fretful(煩惱的) day by day. The father had been trying to persuade him to change his bad manner but the father’s efforts made no difference on the wild son.
One day, the father got an idea. He set up a wooden board and called his son over and gave him a hammer and a box of nails. He told the young man to hammer a nail every time when he had a quarrel. The son did so. After a day, he himself saw the board was filled with nails whose quantity was so huge which looked so ugly that he was shocked and finally made up his mind to be a nice guy. The father suggested he pull out one nail every time when he checked his bad temper and avoided talking impolitely. He did that. When the last nail was drawn out the son was so excited that he couldn’t help showing the board to his father. However, his cheer trailed away and slowly he grew frustrated(沮喪) while he was staring at the board which was actually as disagreeable(厭惡的) as a water-sapped(被水侵蝕的) stone deep on the sea bed. The father pointed to the holes left in the board and told him that sometimes the hurt just like the holes stuck in one’s mind forever. The boy cried and regretted being such an impudent(輕浮) guy. Since then, he was polite and kind and made a lot of friends, and turned happy.

(C)
Ever wondered how we are able to conduct(進(jìn)行) a conversation at a noisy party? Researchers from Japan, Canada and Germany have found that it is our left brain that picks out the desired(想要) sounds from a cacophony(刺耳的聲音) of loud, competing(對抗) sounds. “In daily life, we are always exposed to several noises at the same time and we have to pick up important signals, for example, speech sounds, from the background noises,” wrote researcher Ryusuke Amiga from Japan’s National Institute for Physiological(生理性的) Sciences.
“We found that the left hemisphere(半球) is generally dominant(占優(yōu)勢) for auditory processing(聽覺處理) of noisy environments,” he wrote in an e-mail response(回答) to questions from Reuters(路透社).
It is well known that speech signals are processed(處理) in the left brain.
But this study, led by Hidehiko Okamoto and Christo Pantev at the University of neuroimaging(神經(jīng)成像學(xué)) and observed neural mechanisms(神經(jīng)機(jī)理) in volunteers whowere exposed to different combinations(組合) of tests and background sounds.
“Test sounds were played either to the left or to the right ear, while the competing noise was presented(呈現(xiàn)) either to the same or to the opposite ear,” they wrote.
“By monitoring(過濾) the brain’s response to these different sound combinations, the team observed that the left hemisphere was the site of most neural activity associated with processing sounds in a noisy environment.”
1. How many countries are the researchers from? ____.
A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five
2. Which is NOT right?____.
A. We can’t have a conversation at a noisy party
B. Several noises at the same time can’t stop us from talking

3. It is our left brain that ____.
A. conducts speech signals
B. processes speech signals
C. studies speech signals
D. likes speech signals

A. the test was only played to the left ear
B. the test was only played to the right ear
C. the test was played to every ear
D. the test was played to both ears
