Ⅰ.阅读理解
In all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important
role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts are finding
that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have
a wide range of benefits.
Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve
math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discoveringthat children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading
music and playing note uses several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example,
reading notes improves spatial (空间的) reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like
fractions(分数).
Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory. The secret
lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex (皮层), connects
music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdale and hippocampus (杏仁核与海马体). That's why an
old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like
Alzheimer's, listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.
With the evidence of music's benefits pouring in, it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of
their education systems. People are recognising that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for
the brain.
1.Scientists are studying music because ________.
A.music can be used for medical treatments B.music plays a very important role in our lives
C.our brains can possess music in different ways D.music education has received a lot of attention
2.According to the Canadian study, which children have increased IQ scores?
A.Those who already have high IQs. B.Those who have always played music.
C.Those who can not play any instrument. D.Those who have studied music for a period of time.
3.Which of the following is a kind of disease?
A.Spatial reasoning. B.Alzheimer's.
C.The amygdale and hippocampus. D.The medial prefrontal cortex.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Music and Health B.Music and the Mind

How similar are language and music?
Language is part of our daily life, no matter where we live in the world. It is the same with music, whether you
listen to it on the radio on your drive to work or sit before an orchestra. Both language and music play a huge rolein our culture. 1.________
·Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to
keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. 2.________ By writing
pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the
composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.
·3.________
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way,
we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different
cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
·Both share emotion.
4.________ Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words.
Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling,
and allows us to share in that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to
celebrate your happiness.5.________I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often
combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.
A.Both are expressive.
B.Both vary with culture.
C.Here are some of their similarities.
D.How do you know that I am angry?
E.We use language to express our thoughts.
F.So just as you read English, you can read music.
G.In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.

【语篇解读】 文章描述了主人公Gabriel从不喜欢音乐到喜欢的过程。每个人都应该发现自己的兴趣所
在,并为其投入时间和精力。
1.A 【解析】考查上下文串联。“anyone else”指不学音乐的学生,学习音乐的要比规定的到校时间早到
几个小时,因此填before。
2.C 【解析】考查上下文串联。根据“as he hated getting to school extra early”可知,Gabriel讨厌过早到
校,因此他对自己发誓“不学”音乐,A背叛;B接受;C避免,避开;D欣赏。只有C项符合语境。
3.B 【解析】考查上下文串联。本段讲Gabriel在一次音乐课上意外发现自己很喜欢音乐,与上一段是
转折关系,故选B。4.A 【解析】考查名词辨析和句意理解。that was __4__of his school's standard curriculum是定语从句,音
乐课是学校的标准课程的一部分。
5.D 【解析】考查上下文串联。根据下句“actually... tried to hide... pleasure”等词或词组可以看出,
Gabriel在音乐中找到了乐趣,发现“演奏音乐很容易”。只有D项符合语境。
6.C 【解析】考查上下文串联。根据actually可知,Gabriel对音乐的看法有了变化,他实际上是喜欢音
乐的,A/B/D都是有否定倾向的词,不符合语境。
7.D 【解析】考查动词辨析。A.run 跑;经营;B.jog慢跑;C.jump跳;D.wander漫游,闲逛,徘徊。
音乐老师在教室里来回走动,听到Gabriel弹奏钢琴的声音,就走过来聆听。wander符合语境。
8.A 【解析】考查上下文串联。根据“and suggested that Gabriel go into the music storeroom to see if any
of the instruments”可知,老师让Gabriel挑选乐器,说明他弹得不够好,钢琴不太适合他,因此是因果关
系。
9.A 【解析】考查近义词辨析和上下文串联。老师认为Gabriel有着很好的辨音能力,并建议他去挑一
件称心的乐器。ear辨音力,灵敏的听力;taste鉴赏力,欣赏力,指对作品的欣赏能力。由于Gabriel没有
经过专业的训练,不能说他有很好的音乐鉴赏能力,taste不符合语境。
10.C 【解析】考查词组辨析。A.occur to sb.某人突然想起;B.take to开始喜欢;C.appeal to有吸引力,
引起兴趣;D.hold to抓住。老师让Gabriel找一件吸引自己的乐器。
11.B 【解析】考查名词辨析和上下文串联。A.change改变;零钱;B.chance机会,可能性;C.mission
任务;D.function功能。Gabriel准备试一下大提琴, 给大提琴一次机会,即尝试拉一下大提琴,其余不符
合语境。
12.C 【解析】考查上下文串联。根据But可知,前后是转折关系,下句说Gabriel发现自己很喜欢大提
琴,说明前一句是说他只是“随便”拉一下。
13.B 【解析】考查上下文串联。开始学习音乐之后,Gabriel不得不拖着沉重的乐器早早地到学校练习
拉琴。drag指吃力地拖、拉某物,符合语境。
14.B 【解析】考查上下文串联。根据“nonmusicians”可知,这里指不学音乐的学生的表情,根据第一
段可知,不学音乐的学生对学音乐的投去同情的目光,故选pitying。
15.C 【解析】考查词组辨析和上下文串联。leave aside搁置一边;leave sb./sth. behind把……抛在后
面,超过;leave out遗漏,不提及。学习音乐就意味着要被其他学生用同情的目光注视,这里指Gabriel走
过去之后,身后的学生对他投来同情的目光。
Ⅳ.语法填空
People have all turned to sad music to make 1.________ (they) feel better at some point in their lives, but why
does the music with double sadness help drag people out of low spirits?
A new study throws light on what's going on inside people's brains when they match their music to their
feelings, and it looks as if sad music can be enjoyable, rather than 2.________ (simple) depressing. Music of this
sort can arouse positive memories in people's life, thus 3.________ (lift) their mood.
Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says 4.________ exist two groups of possible
explanations for why people enjoy listening 5.________ sad music—one from social psychology (心理学), and theother from cognitive neuroscience (神经学).
In terms of social psychology, one idea about this is that people will feel 6.________ (good) about themselves
if they focus on someone who's doing even worse. Everything's going to be okay, because this person is having
7.________ even worse day than they are.
Another idea from social psychology is that people like to listen to the very music 8.________ shows their
present life circumstances, because this kind of music makes them feel they are understood. With their emotions
9.________ (share), they definitely get a certain amount of comfort.
So sad music does cheer people up, and it 10.________ (work) far better than happy music, in most cases.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了伤感的音乐对人们的影响。伤感的音乐能使人振奋,而且在大多数情况
下,它比快乐的音乐更有效。
1.themselves 【解析】考查代词。设空处作make的宾语,指代主语People,当宾语跟主语是同一个对象
时,宾语应用反身代词。故填themselves。
2.simply 【解析】考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词。故填simply。
3.lifting 【解析】考查非谓语动词。设空处应用非谓语动词作结果状语,lift与句子主语为逻辑上的主谓
关系,且表示自然而然的结果,应用现在分词。thus为副词,意为“这样”。故填lifting。
4.there 【解析】考查固定句型。There exists...为固定句型,意为“有……”。故填there。
5.to 【解析】考查固定搭配。listen to 为固定搭配,意为“听……”。故填to。
6.better 【解析】考查形容词比较级。句意为:社会心理学对此有一种观点,即如果人们把注意力集中
在一个做得更糟糕的人身上,他们的自我感觉便会好一些。根据空后的 even worse可知此处应用比较级,
故填better。
7.an 【解析】考查冠词。句意为:一切都会好起来的,因为这个人的处境比他们还要糟糕。此处泛指
“一天”,其前应用不定冠词。even以元音音素开头,故填an。
8.that 【解析】考查定语从句引导词。设空处引导定语从句,music是先行词,从句缺少主语,且先行
词由the very修饰,所以应用关系代词that,不可以用which。故填that。
9.shared 【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意为:随着他们的情绪得以分享,他们肯定会得到一定程度的安
慰。此处是“with+宾语+宾补”结构,emotions和share之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以应用过去分词形
式,故填shared。
10.works 【解析】考查动词时态。work是谓语动词,与主语it之间是主动关系,逗号前的分句使用一
般现在时,所以此处也应用一般现在时。故填works。
