Part 3 Reading and Writing （第三部分 读写）
VI. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分）
A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）
The Magic in Music
Does the music we listen to affect us in one way or another? The following questions and answers may give us
some ideas.
CAN MUSIC HELP US SLEEP?Obviously, yes! In a study, music was shown to cure insomnia (the condition of being unable to sleep). Over
80% of the people taking part in the study became better sleepers after three weeks of listening to classical music at
bedtime. In another study, half of the people over the age of 60 who had difficulty falling asleep reported that they
became good sleepers after a few weeks. So, if you’re battling to fall asleep, make yourself a 45-minute playlist of
slow, calming music.
CAN IT TAKE PAIN AWAY?
Well, maybe not totally, but music has been shown to help us feel better. One experiment asked people to hold
their hands in freezing cold water. The people who were listening to music could handle the pain for longer,
especially if they got to choose the music themselves. The same was found at dentists’ rooms --- patients felt less
pain if they got to choose the music they listened to.
CAN MUSIC MAKE US ACT DIFFERENTLY?
For sure! Think about the music you hear when you’re at the shops or at a restaurant. Studies show that
playing slow music at a restaurant makes you eat slower. The pace of music in a shopping center determines
(decides on) how fast people walk --- you take more time to browse (look at things in a shop) if the music is
calmer. Some studies have been shown that music can influence what you buy. One test done by psychologists in
England in 1999 changed the background music near displays of German and French wines. When they played
German music, the German wine sold twice as much. When French music was used, The French wine sold five
times better!
59. Music affects us in many ways except in ________.
A. sleep B. study C. senses D. behaviour
60. ________ music may help people who have problems in falling asleep.
A. Loud B. Dance C. Classical D. Pop
61. The underlined word “handle” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. keep off B. break down C. focus on D. deal with
62. From the third question and answer, we can learn that ________ .
A. fast music makes people eat more B. loud music is popular in the shopping center
C. German wines sell better than French wines D. music can change our way of eating and shopping
63. The text above is written to ________ .
A. tell people how to create music B. describe different kinds of music
C. introduce the effect of music D. test people’s understanding of music
64. In which section of a magazine can you find the text?A. Book club. B. Science discovery. C. World travel. D. Big debate.
【分析】本文要是向我们讲述了音乐对我们的影响以及效果。
【解答】59-64 BCDDCB
59. B. 细节判断题。根据CAN MUSIC HELP US SLEEP? Obviously, yes! 音乐能帮助我们入睡吗？显
然，是的！CAN IT TAKE PAIN AWAY? Well, maybe not totally, but music has been shown to help us
feel better. 它能消除疼痛吗？嗯，也许不完全是这样，但音乐已经被展示出来，帮助我们感觉更好。CAN
MUSIC MAKE US ACT DIFFERENTLY？For sure! 音乐能让我们做出不同的行为吗？当然！可知音乐在
睡眠、感官和行为方面有影响，但是学习这方面文中没有提及。故选B.
60. C. 细节理解题。根据Over 80% of the people taking part in the study became better sleepers after
three weeks of listening to classical music at bedtime. 可知参加这项研究的人中，超过80%的人在睡前听
了三周的古典音乐后，睡眠状况变好了。故选C.
61. D. 词义猜测题。根据people who were listening to music could handle the pain for longer, especially
if they got to choose the music themselves. The same was found at dentists’ rooms---patients felt less
pain if they got to choose the music they listened to.可知听音乐的人可以__更长时间的痛苦，尤其是当他
们自己选择音乐的时候。在牙医室也发现了同样的情况，如果让病人选择他们听的音乐，他们会感觉到更
少的疼痛。根据前后文含义以及结合选项可知，此处 handle意为"忍受，解决"，与deal with 同义，故选
D.
62. D. 推理判断题。根据 Studies show that playing slow music at a restaurant makes you eat slower.
The pace of music in a shopping center determines (decides on) how fast people walk---you take more
time to browse (look at things in a shop) if the music is calmer. 可知研究表明，在餐厅播放慢音乐会让
你吃得慢一些。购物中心里音乐的节奏决定了人们走路的速度，如果音乐比较安静，你会花更多的时间浏
览（看看商店里的东西）。因此可知音乐可以改变我们的饮食和购物方式。故选D.
63. C. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据 Does the music we listen to affect us in one way or
another? The following questions and answers may give us some ideas. 可知我们所听的音乐是否以某种
方式影响着我们？下面的问题和答案可能会给我们一些想法。因此可知本文要是向我们讲述了音乐对我们
的影响以及效果。故选C.
64. B. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据 Does the music we listen to affect us in one way or
another? The following questions and answers may give us some ideas. 可知我们所听的音乐是否以某种
方式影响着我们？下面的问题和答案可能会给我们一些想法。因此可知本文要是向我们讲述了音乐对我们
的影响以及效果。这是属于科学范畴。因此可能出现在科学发现这部分找到这篇文章。故选B.【点评】做题时首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意．其次，细读题材，各个击破。掌握全文
的大意之后，细细阅读材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信
息。

H: Seizing the opportunities. But was there any point in the video that you thought was particularly interesting?
S: Yes. Actually, there was. Something very impressive is many people think that luck is something you must have,
in order to be successful. And in the video, we say, the point about getting good at something is not about some
natural talent. It’s all about practice, practice, practice.
H: Definitely yeah. Natural talent helps in some way. But at the end of the day, you must work hard and get really,
really good at what you do.
S: Sure.
H: I thought one interesting thing in the video was the idea of passion (a strong feeling of love) being so

D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences (听短文，用听到的单词完成下列句子。每空
格限填一词) (10分)Hello, everyone. I’m going to introduce some strange races in the United Kingdom.
Shrove Tuesday is commonly known as Pancake Tuesday. It is a time for people to eat pancakes or join in
pancake races. When a special bell is rung in Scarborough, a town in northern England, everyone goes down to the
road next to the beach. They jump over long ropes, about fifteen people to one rope. When people have pancake
races, they usually run with a frying pan and tossing a pancake at the same time.
In the south-west of England, cheese rolling often takes place in spring. Cheeses in round boxes roll down a
hill and people run after them and try to catch them. The hill is very steep, so people often fall over --- if you take
part in this, you need to be very fit and wear your oldest jeans.
Snail racing takes place in a village in Norfolk. It began in the 1960s. Every year, over 200 snail owners take
part in the race. The snails have to cover a distance of 30 centimeters. The fastest snail wins and its owner gets
many vegetables. Usually there’s a big party for the owners and on-lookers after the race.
So, that’s just a taste of a few traditions. Would you like to take part in any of them?
(16. special bell 17. run with 18. takes place 19. Over 200 20. big party)
