[閱讀選擇]Two thousand years ago the Chinese had already developed a working compass. A piece of lodestone(天然磁石)would be cut into the shape of a ladle(長柄勺)。 Placed on a stone board with a smooth surface, the lodestone would move round until the “handle” of the ladle pointed south while the bulk(主體)of the ladle was attracted to magnetic north. This interestingly shaped device is mentioned in a book from about 80. Other ancient books may have dated it as far back as the fourth century Jade(玉石)finders played an important role in the invention of the “ladle”。 They travelled great distances to look for jade. In order not to lose directions, they would take a “ladle” with them.

A、In 1492.

[閱讀選擇]Rhythm in literature is a more or less regular occurrence of certain elements of writing: a word, a phrase, an idea, a sound, or a grammatical construction. We are also accustomed to this recurrence in the alternate heavy and light beats in music. Our love for rhythm seems to be innate: witness the responses of a small child to lively music. Children love to beat on toy drums or empty boxes. They stamp their feet and chant nursery rhymes or nonsense syllables, not unlike primitive dancers. As children grow older, they are taught to restrain their responses to rhythm, but our love of rhythm remains. We live in rhythms; in fact we are governed by rhythms.
According to the passage, an adult‘s reaction to rhythm in music would probably be _____.
A、uninhibited
B、indifferent
C、restrained
D、responsible
正確答案:C
答案解析:該題的解題依據在本段結尾部分“As children grow older, they are taught to restrain their responses to rhythm…”。作者講:隨著孩子的年齡逐漸增大,大人就會教他們抑制對節奏的反應,等他們長大之后,他們對音樂節奏的反應,更可能受到抑制。
