(1917～2001)．
rebellious.Almost everyone in my family is a musician and I wanted to be different.” says Zhang，36，who has learned piano，violin and viola since childhood.He took on a variety of jobs to distract him from music，from working in venture capital firms to comedy clubs.
But he has found himself in music nonetheless，and recently he played piano to accompany US soprano(女高音) Kerry Holahan in association with Li Delun Music Foundation.
More than 200 people，Chinese and expatriates，packed the library of the Beijing American Center.They performed songs by Broadway legend Cole Porter，including Night and Day and Anything Goes，and told stories about the composer's life.
“We became friends a long time ago.He is very nice and funny.When I made mistakes during a performance，he will say it's his fault，” says Holahan，who moved to Beijing as an exchange student 10 years ago.
Zhang and Holahan will tour universities around China，spreading their love of Broadway music to Chinese audiences.
“My aunt told me that the project I am doing is just like what my grandfather used to do，” Zhang says.“He used to go around with a cassette player and a stack of tapes，and gave lectures about classical music everywhere，from universities to factories.He enjoyed classical music so much that he loved sharing his knowledge with people in the hope that they can learn to appreciate it，too.”
Zhang and his parents moved to Toronto，Canada in 1990.When he returned to Beijing，he stayed with his grandparents.It is an old apartment in the capital's downtown area and it is where he was born and raised.
Located near the China National Symphony Orchestra，the apartment block is home to many of China's great musicians，including Li and his violinist wife Li Jue (1922～2024)．

In fact，in San Antonio，Texas the first－ever bookless library in the country opened.The library is full of iMacs－books.So the question is Mary Graham，vice president of South Carolina's Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce states，“This is the future...If you're going to be building new library facilities，this is what you need to be doing.”

【语篇导读】 本文是一篇议论文。随着科技的发展现代化的设备越来越融入到图书馆里出现了完全无实体书
6．The underlined word “obsolete” (Paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to________．
C．expensive
D．meaningless
解析 猜测词义题。根据obsolete所在的句子In today's 21st century, t's something I find scary.可知作者是个传统的读书人喜欢看纸质的书所以作者的这种行为在21世纪科技高速发展的今天可能变得过时了为此作者感到害怕。因此在此句中类似于outdated。

A．The episode still enjoys great popularity nowadays.
B．Rod Serling liked making predictions about the future.
C．The situation of books today is similar to what Rod Serling predicted in the episode.
D．The episode airing in 1961 was the most entertaining of the TV science－fiction series.

体裁：说明文 话题：计算机程序 时间：10分钟
Probably yes.
A computer algorithm(计算程序)works almost as well as a trained linguist(语言学家) in reconstructing how dead “protolanguages” would have sounded new study.
“Our computer system is doing a basic job right now，” says Alex Bouchard－Côtés a good enough job that it may be able to give linguists a head start，the statistician added.
For centuries，scholars have reconstructed languages by hand: looking at the same word in two or more languages and making educated guesses about what that word's “ancestor” may have sounded like.For example，the Spanish word for man (“hombre”) and the French word for man (“homme”) developed from the Latin word “homo.” The way linguists compare words from descendant(后代)languages to reconstruct the parent language is called
The early 19th－century linguist Franz Bopp was the first to compare Greekrmanic languages developed from a common ancestor.
“The difference between that and Bouchard－Côté's program－Côté fed words from 637 Austronesian languages (spoken in Indonesia) into the new algorithm，and the system came up with a list of what the ancestor words of all those languages would have sounded like.In more than 85 percent of cases，the automated reconstruction came within one character of the ancestor word commonly accepted as true by linguists.
The algorithm won't replace trained human linguists，but could speed up language analysis.
Using a computer to do large－scale reconstruction offers another advantage.Bouchard－Côté says big data sets，you can really start finding regularities...You might find that certain sounds are more likely to change than others.”
So Bouchard－Côté's team tested the “functional load hypothesis( which says that sounds that are more important for two clearly different words are less likely to change over time.A formal test of this hypothesis in 1967 looked at four languages; Bouchard－Côté's algorithm looked at 637.
e numbers of protolanguages，” Bouchard－Côté and his coauthors write in the new study.
－Côté saysords that show you when the wheel was invented.”
【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文主要向读者介绍了一种能够辅助语言学研究者的计算机程序它能够再现一些已经消失的古代语言的语音信息从而加快语言分析的速度和效率。
________．
the languages that couldn't be reconstructed by hand
B．parent languages that existed in the past
C．languages developed from a common ancestor
D．languages used to explain things that occurred in the past
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段的设问“软件能够让消失的语言再现吗？很可能会”可以推知此处指的是“一种计算机程序能够像训练有素的语言学家一样再现一些业已消失的语言在过去的读音信息”。protolanguage指的应该是存在于过去的现在已经消失的语言。
答案 B
________．
Ais commonly accepted as false
B．dates back to the 19th century
C．focuses on European languages
D．is conducted using the comparative method

－Côté “protolanguages” might ________．
B．allow us to find answers to some historical questions
C．enable us to picture the way linguists communicated
D．help figure out how the wheel was invented
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句“In addition to simply helping linguists...studying ancient languages can perhaps answer historic questions”以及上下句可以推知这是Bouchard－cote所持有的观点即研究
答案 B
bably wants to prove the computer algorithm program led by Bouchard－Côté ________．
B．can take the place of linguists in language analysis
C．is of great help to promote language analysis with big data sets
D．can merely reconstruct Asian－Pacific “protolanguages”
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第五段“The algorithm won't replace trained human linguists, 以及倒数第四段“with big data sets, arities”可知作者主要是想证明Bouchard－cote所领导的这个计算机程序课题项目由于有巨大的数据库所以可以大大推动语言分析的速度和效率。
