IV. 阅读理解 Remember switching the radio channels, hoping a tune you liked would pop out? You never had to listen too long to know you'd landed on a hit. Maria Chait, an auditory cognitive neuroscientist(听觉认知神经学家)at London University, and her team recently studied how quick that reaction is. They started by asking 10 volunteers to name a feel-good, familiar song. Then the researchers selected a second tune that sounded similar but was unfamiliar to the volunteers. They divided both songs into tiny bits each less than a second long and then randomly inserted them into a six-and-a-half minute-long track of song pieces. As the pieces played, the scientists measured the volunteers’ brain activity and monitored changes in pupils(瞳孔),too-a sign of excitement, And the researchers found that the listeners pupils widened more rapidly when they heard familiar versus(与……对比)unfamiliar tunes-within just a tenth to a third of a second! Familiar tunes also caused a two step pattern of brain activity where the brain first recognizes something as familiar and then brings back more detailed information about it, That pattern was absent for unfamiliar songs. The study does have limitations: it used a small number of songs; it was hard to cover the purpose of the study from the participants; and the control group ended up being mainly international students from Asia-----since they had to be unfamiliar with every single song so their native languages and music backgrounds differed from the experimental group from a European background. Still, for doctors who want to use music as a helpful tool for patients with memory loss, for example, that might be useful in the situation, for participants are not required to indicate anything. They just listen passively.Doctors simply have to observe the neural fingerprints of hearing that same old song. 1. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. They asked volunteers to sing along. B. They separated songs for comparison. C. They observed the listeners’ expressions. D. They took two steps to draw the conclusion. 2. What does the author think of the study? A. It proves to be persuasive. B. It is based on practical theory. C. It needs further research. D. It should use Asian language. 3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The research is helpful in some medical way. B. Doctors are delighted with the research result. C. It's easy to cure patients with memory loss. D. Patients need treating with music like songs 4. What is the best title for the passage? A. How Can We Use Familiar Songs B. Music Is Good for Our Brains C. Familiar Tunes Awake Brains Quickly D. Doctors Practice Musical Treatment V. 七选五 Music is very popular in America and it is very important to American people.
