14、trument until they are told that a place is available. They should also find out from the teacher the most suitable type of instrument to get. When and where do lessons take place? Lessons are available in many schools, usually during the day. If there is no lesson available for a particular instrum
15、ent in a particular school, other arrangements can be made at one of our music centres for lessons on Saturday afternoons or weekday evenings. How are pupils taught?

21、in National Geographic. He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting rock bottom. “In the beginning, I was so paranoid(多疑的) and angry that I couldnt leave the house,” says Doogue. “When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and g
22、ot treatment, but I knew that I needed something more and thats when I started photography. ” Now a dad of two, Doogue found that looking at insects through a camera helped him in ways he could never have imagined and it proved to be the lifeline he needed. It had a calming effect that helped him to
23、 disconnect from stress; and his astonishing images, showing insects and spiders in amazing detail against brightly colored backgrounds, caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic. “I ended up as one of their featured photographers,” recalled Doogue. “It was the peak of my career. It was in
24、credible.” Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, he now lives in Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. Though he fears that Scotland is in the middle of an epidemic(流行病) of male suicide, he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help others to cope with their mental health issue
25、s as well. “I think the problem is this man-up approach; the idea that men need to be strong puts so much pressure on young males to be fine all the time,” says Doogue. “This is why I try and be so open about my own experience.

C Scientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem remains unsettled. Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality migh
30、t help older people recall facts and events based on specific details. The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth; they wore headsets and walked in place, walking virtual neighbo
31、rhoods while completing small tasks. The other half, in the control group, used electronic tablets to play games that did not require recalling details. After 15 sessions, the latter performed roughly the same as before on a long-term memory test. But the Labyrinth players gain an improvement in mem
32、ory through the VR game. A scientist Peter Wais of the University of California said the improvements brought them up to the level of another group of younger adults taking the same memory tests. Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in th
33、e new study. “It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory.” She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games. Waiss team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training h
34、ave the most impact. A cognitive(认知) psychologist, Daniel Simons, who was also not involved in the study, notes experiments with other games that claim to train the brain have often failed to evaluate this. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to real-w
35、orld situations. The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before its treated as a strong finding.” For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants. 28.

And the lowly newspaperand its reportersare fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teacher
39、s must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive. A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs
40、 across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is dismal too. Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isnt daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondbac
41、k of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they dont print as many copies. And UNCs The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget. Considering the problems in journalism, its surprising that the enrollme
42、nt (注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” he says. But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing
43、young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But todays jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The Univer
44、sity of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism. The news isnt all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18-and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, Im optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student
45、editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism “comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.” 32. What does the underlined word “dismal” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Depressing. B. Funny. C. In
46、spiring. D. Useless. 33. How do some universities respond to todays journalism? A. They decide to cut down on student enrollment. B. They provide students with specialized programs. C.

48、he best title for the text? A. What does journalism mean to you? B. Are journalists still influential today? C. Does journalism have a future? D. What is a journalists job now? 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is no doubt that adding more fish to your diet
