A few days ago, the group were holding a concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.I was going to go with my boyfriend but he had to leave for a business trip.When I was worried I had no one to go with, my best friend Sandra called me and said, “Karina, I will go with you and take care of everything.Just buy your ticket before they are sold out.” I was so excited! Above & Beyond would pick four people from the crowd during the concert, take them to the stage and push a button from one of their songs.I remember saying to Sandra when we got there, “Imagine if we get to push the button tonight.” We both laughed and said, “Um, no.” After enjoying the music for two hours, a gentleman in black started walking towards us.I thought he was going to the people behind us because they were a little noisy, so I said to Sandra, “Uh oh, someone is getting kicked out.” But he came straight to us and said, “No kidding.Above& Beyond would like to invite you to push the button.” I did not believe it at first, but he repeated what he had said and I started crying.He took us through huge crowds of people cheering and giving us high fives.We went backstage and I saw Tony, who was a member of the group.He walked up to me, hugged(拥抱) me and said, “Are you ready to push the button？” I cried so much out of happiness. That day made me believe that when you want something badly enough, it can happen. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自我/个人生活。本文为记叙文，讲述了作者和朋友在某演唱会上的奇妙经历。 4．What made the author worried before the concert?

I think better that way.” But is that really true? Does music help concentrate? Research offers little to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration.In one small study, 133 students performed reading tasks while listening to either light music, hip hop, or no music at all.Students who performed the reading tasks in silence scored the highest.Music with a higher intensity(强度) like hip hop was more distracting and had a greater negative effect on task performance and concentration. Volume(音量) plays a more important role than the type of music.The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration.The type of music didn't matter.Data from the study showed once again that silence was the best environment to improve concentration. However, music has a positive effect on work performance.Studies have showed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood, as well as creativity.In fact, in music-listening cultures, which students are certainly part of, there's actually a change in mood when the music is taken away. It's hard to convince my students that music doesn't help with their concentration.Taj, a senior told me, “I wouldn't be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read.However, when I write, I feel like music helps me concentrate deeply.I don't have writer's block.It's easy for me to put my words on paper.” “Maybe not with reading, but when it comes to math, listening to music certainly helps，” Danela told me.“You could actually be singing along with what you're listening to and doing well in math.” 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/艺术。本文为说明文，主要论述音乐是否有助于集中注意力。你从事的任务不同，音乐对你的注意力的影响也许会不一样。 8．What does the underlined word “distracting” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Worrying.　　　　 B．Exciting. C．Inspired. D．Dramatical. 答案　A 解析　词句猜测题。根据句意和画线词下文可知，画线词应该和后面的内容在意义上一致，根据后面所说的“负面影响”可知，画线词distracting应该和worrying意义上一致，故选A项。 9．What can we learn from the small study? A．Students do well in reading tasks while listening to music. B．Music can't improve people's mood and creativity. C．Different types of music lead to different performances. D．The volume of music affects concentration. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段前两句可知，音乐的音量会影响注意力，故选D项。 10．What do Taj and Danela have in common? A．They believe music doesn't help concentrate. B．They use music to help with their paper-writing. C．They can't focus on reading while listening to music. D．They don't listen to music while doing math problems. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第五、六段可知，Taj和Danela的共同之处是他们不能一边听音乐一边专心阅读，故选C项。 11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Should Students Listen to Music? B．Does Music Help Concentration? C．Is Music Related to Reading? D．Can Music Change Mood? 答案　B 解析　标题归纳题。文章主要讲述的是音乐是否有助于集中注意力。你从事的任务不同，音乐对你的注意力的影响也许会不一样，故选B项。 Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don't.You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler.But scientists found that people's music taste changes as time goes by.So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents', whether you like it or not. We used to think that culture and personality(个性) are the only reasons for different music choices.But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste.There are some musical periods that people go through in their life. The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent. But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change and they want to build close relationships with others.As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&B, which is usually uplifting and danceable. When middle age comes, most people have settled down.During this period, people prefer music, such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues. As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods.They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music.But you must be questioning. “Aren't there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music？” Of course there are.But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed.At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/艺术。本文为说明文。人们的音乐品味会随着年龄和社会环境而发生变化，本文主要区分出人生的四个音乐阶段。 12．What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy? A．They are worth listening to. B．They are actually less cool. C．They are especially serious. D．They are hard to understand. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知，年轻人会认为父母喜欢的音乐古老又无聊，没有自己的音乐酷，故选B项。 13．How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life? A．Two.　　　　　 B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段至第六段介绍可知，人生分为了四个音乐时期，故选C项。 14．What kind of music do teenagers prefer? A．Punk music. B．Country music. C．Jazz music. D．Pop music. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，青少年喜欢朋克音乐和摇滚乐，故选A项。 15．What is the best title for the text? A．People Have Different Opinions on Music B．People's Taste in Music Changes with Time C．People Listen to Music for the Same Reason D．People's Lifestyle Can Be Changed by Music 答案　B 解析　标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了人们的音乐品味会随着年龄和社会环境而发生变化，并在下文详细阐述了人生的四个音乐阶段，故选B项。 Ⅱ.第二节 　1　 But Yan Kai, 14, loves old songs, some of which may be 100 years old.
