例如:He reacted quickly to the emergency.(他对紧急情况反应迅速。);The two substances react with each other.(这两种物质相互起化学反应。)
重要句型
(一)结构 1:“be + 性质形容词 + 不定式”
基本用法:在 “be + 性质形容词 + 不定式” 结构中,不定式用主动形式表被动意义。常用于该结构的形容词有 “easy, difficult, hard, pleasant, nice, interesting, exciting, dangerous, comfortable, fit, impossible” 等。
例如:The book is easy to read.(这本书容易读。)这里的 “to read” 虽然形式是主动,但表达的是 “书被读” 的被动意义。因为句子的主语 “the book” 实际上是不定式 “to read” 的逻辑宾语。
结构拓展:当不定式中的动词是不及物动词时,要加上适当的介词。
例如:The room is comfortable to live in.(这个房间住起来很舒服。)“live” 是不及物动词,所以后面要加上 “in”,“room” 是 “live in” 的逻辑宾语。
(二)结构 2:“make + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”
基本用法:
“make sb. /sth. do...”,表示 “使某人 / 某物做……”,这里的不定式要省略 “to”。
例如:The teacher made the students read English aloud.(老师让学生们大声朗读英语。)但在被动语态中,“to” 要还原。
如:The students were made to read English aloud by the teacher.
“make sb. /sth. done”,表示 “使某人 / 某物被……”。
例如:He made his hair cut.(他让人剪了他的头发。)这里 “hair” 和 “cut” 是被动关系。
“make sb. + 形容词”,意为 “使某人……”。
例如:The good news made him happy.(这个好消息使他高兴。)
“make sb. + 名词”,表示 “使某人成为……”。
例如:His parents want to make him a doctor.(他的父母想让他成为一名医生。)
结构拓展:当 “make” 的宾语是不定式或从句时,要用形式宾语 “it”。
例如:I make it a rule to get up early.(我把早起当作一个习惯。)这里 “it” 是形式宾语,真正的宾语是 “to get up early”。
语法精讲
1. 过去分词作表语
基本用法:过去分词作表语时,通常放在系动词(如 “be, get, become, look, sound, feel, seem” 等)后面,用来表示主语所处的状态或特点。
例如:The glass is broken.(玻璃碎了。)这里 “broken” 描述了 “glass” 的状态。
与被动语态的区别:过去分词作表语强调的是主语的状态或特点,而被动语态强调的是动作。
例如:The door is closed.(门是关着的。)这是表语,表示门的状态;The door was closed by him.(门被他关上了。)这是被动语态,强调关门这个动作。
与现在分词作表语的区别:现在分词作表语时,主语一般是表示事物的名词,现在分词用来描述事物的特征,意为 “令人…… 的”;而过去分词作表语时,主语一般是表示人的名词,过去分词用来描述人的感受,意为 “感到…… 的”。
例如:The movie is interesting.(这部电影很有趣。)这里 “interesting” 是现在分词作表语,描述电影的特征;I'm interested in the movie.(我对这部电影感兴趣。)这里 “interested” 是过去分词作表语,描述人的感受。
2. 过去分词作状语
基本用法:
表时间:例如:Seen from the top of the hill, the village looks very beautiful.(从山顶上看,这个村庄看起来非常美丽。)“Seen from the top of the hill” 表示时间,相当于 “When it is seen from the top of the hill”。
表原因:例如:Tired by the long journey, he soon fell asleep.(由于长途旅行很累,他很快就睡着了。)“Tired by the long journey” 是原因状语。
表条件:例如:Given more time, we could do it better.(如果给我们更多时间,我们可以做得更好。)“Given more time” 相当于 “If we were given more time”。
表让步:例如:Wounded as he was, he still continued to fight.(尽管他受伤了,他仍然继续战斗。)“Wounded as he was” 表示让步。
表伴随:例如:The teacher entered the classroom, followed by his students.(老师走进教室,后面跟着他的学生。)“followed by his students” 是伴随状语。
注意事项:
逻辑主语一致:过去分词作状语时,其逻辑主语要与句子的主语一致。
例如:Looking out of the window, I saw a beautiful garden.(我向窗外望去,看到了一个美丽的花园。)这里 “Looking out of the window” 的逻辑主语是 “I”。
源于系表结构的分词短语:有些过去分词已经转化为形容词,它们作状语时是源于系表结构。
例如:Lost in thought, he didn't hear the bell.(他陷入沉思,没有听到铃声。)“Lost in thought”

二、阅读理解
Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non﹣musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70﹣year﹣old musician hears better than a 50﹣year﹣old non﹣musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown﹣away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
1.How does music affect preterm babies?
A.It helps reduce their pain. B.It helps develop their potential in music.
C.It helps improve their hearing systems. D.It helps repair their neurological systems.
2.What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Lead to. B.Increase. C.Prevent. D.Break into.
3.Why can music mend a broken heart?
A.It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
B.It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
C.It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
D.It can help patients recover in a slow way.
4.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Who Can Benefit from Music B.The Best Time to Listen to Music
C.The Way to Choose Quality Music D.How Music Affects Our Mind and Body
Adele’s new album, “30”, is finally available. Last month, hundreds of millions of us streamed its first single, “Easy On Me”. This song arouses feelings not easily put into words, but we can probably agree it is a sad song. 5 Yet sad music does pull us in and lift us up.
Let’s start with a biological theory. When we experience real-life loss, or empathize (产生共鸣) with another’s pain, certain hormones are released within us. 6 They do so by making us feel calmed and supported. Feeling Adele’s pain, or recalling our own, may cause such chemical changes within us.
7 Feeling moved can come from us suddenly feeling closer to other people. Indeed, when we have listened to “30”, we may turn to reaction videos to see how others feel. This lets us share an emotional experience with others. And it boosts our feeling of being moved and triggers (激发) feelings of comfort and belonging.
We can also think at the spiritual level. Adele’s songs allow us to view the pleasure in terms of the meaning she helps us make. Adele takes hard life experiences and makes sense of them. This is what sad art does. 8 As philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once put it, someone who has a why to live for can bear almost anyhow.
Ultimately, we listen to Adele’s songs when we want to recall, reflect, or belong. They let us feel her sadness, share our suffering, and connect with others. To all of us, Adele’s songs say: 9
A.These help us to deal with loss and pain.
B.You are not alone in your pain.
C.Life is meaningless without sad music.
D.This may make us better prepared for when real loss strikes.
E.It takes the pain and suffering of the world and gives it meaning.
F.Few people are aware sad music makes us feel good.
G.Psychologically, a key reason we enjoy sad songs is that they profoundly move us.

例如:He reacted quickly to the emergency.(他对紧急情况反应迅速。);The two substances react with each other.(这两种物质相互起化学反应。)
重要句型
(一)结构 1:“be + 性质形容词 + 不定式”
基本用法:在 “be + 性质形容词 + 不定式” 结构中,不定式用主动形式表被动意义。常用于该结构的形容词有 “easy, difficult, hard, pleasant, nice, interesting, exciting, dangerous, comfortable, fit, impossible” 等。
例如:The book is easy to read.(这本书容易读。)这里的 “to read” 虽然形式是主动,但表达的是 “书被读” 的被动意义。因为句子的主语 “the book” 实际上是不定式 “to read” 的逻辑宾语。
结构拓展:当不定式中的动词是不及物动词时,要加上适当的介词。
例如:The room is comfortable to live in.(这个房间住起来很舒服。)“live” 是不及物动词,所以后面要加上 “in”,“room” 是 “live in” 的逻辑宾语。
(二)结构 2:“make + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”
基本用法:
“make sb. /sth. do...”,表示 “使某人 / 某物做……”,这里的不定式要省略 “to”。
例如:The teacher made the students read English aloud.(老师让学生们大声朗读英语。)但在被动语态中,“to” 要还原。
如:The students were made to read English aloud by the teacher.
“make sb. /sth. done”,表示 “使某人 / 某物被……”。
例如:He made his hair cut.(他让人剪了他的头发。)这里 “hair” 和 “cut” 是被动关系。
“make sb. + 形容词”,意为 “使某人……”。
例如:The good news made him happy.(这个好消息使他高兴。)
“make sb. + 名词”,表示 “使某人成为……”。
例如:His parents want to make him a doctor.(他的父母想让他成为一名医生。)
结构拓展:当 “make” 的宾语是不定式或从句时,要用形式宾语 “it”。
例如:I make it a rule to get up early.(我把早起当作一个习惯。)这里 “it” 是形式宾语,真正的宾语是 “to get up early”。
语法精讲
1. 过去分词作表语
基本用法:过去分词作表语时,通常放在系动词(如 “be, get, become, look, sound, feel, seem” 等)后面,用来表示主语所处的状态或特点。
例如:The glass is broken.(玻璃碎了。)这里 “broken” 描述了 “glass” 的状态。
与被动语态的区别:过去分词作表语强调的是主语的状态或特点,而被动语态强调的是动作。
例如:The door is closed.(门是关着的。)这是表语,表示门的状态;The door was closed by him.(门被他关上了。)这是被动语态,强调关门这个动作。
与现在分词作表语的区别:现在分词作表语时,主语一般是表示事物的名词,现在分词用来描述事物的特征,意为 “令人…… 的”;而过去分词作表语时,主语一般是表示人的名词,过去分词用来描述人的感受,意为 “感到…… 的”。
例如:The movie is interesting.(这部电影很有趣。)这里 “interesting” 是现在分词作表语,描述电影的特征;I'm interested in the movie.(我对这部电影感兴趣。)这里 “interested” 是过去分词作表语,描述人的感受。
2. 过去分词作状语
基本用法:
表时间:例如:Seen from the top of the hill, the village looks very beautiful.(从山顶上看,这个村庄看起来非常美丽。)“Seen from the top of the hill” 表示时间,相当于 “When it is seen from the top of the hill”。
表原因:例如:Tired by the long journey, he soon fell asleep.(由于长途旅行很累,他很快就睡着了。)“Tired by the long journey” 是原因状语。
表条件:例如:Given more time, we could do it better.(如果给我们更多时间,我们可以做得更好。)“Given more time” 相当于 “If we were given more time”。
表让步:例如:Wounded as he was, he still continued to fight.(尽管他受伤了,他仍然继续战斗。)“Wounded as he was” 表示让步。
表伴随:例如:The teacher entered the classroom, followed by his students.(老师走进教室,后面跟着他的学生。)“followed by his students” 是伴随状语。
注意事项:
逻辑主语一致:过去分词作状语时,其逻辑主语要与句子的主语一致。
例如:Looking out of the window, I saw a beautiful garden.(我向窗外望去,看到了一个美丽的花园。)这里 “Looking out of the window” 的逻辑主语是 “I”。
源于系表结构的分词短语:有些过去分词已经转化为形容词,它们作状语时是源于系表结构。
例如:Lost in thought, he didn't hear the bell.(他陷入沉思,没有听到铃声。)“Lost in thought”

1. 答案:excited; amazing
解析:“excited” 是过去分词作表语,用于描述人的感受,句中 “girls”(女孩们)作为人,看到开阔的乡村感到兴奋,所以用 “excited”;“amazing” 是现在分词作表语,用来描述事物给人的感觉,此处 “which” 指代前面 “the farms covered a very large area” 这件事,这件事令人觉得惊奇,故用 “amazing”,体现了现在分词表语表示 “令人…… 的”,过去分词表语表示 “感到…… 的” 这一区别。
2. 答案:frightening; frightened
解析:“frightening” 是现在分词作表语,强调 “Going into the wilderness alone”(独自进入荒野)这件事本身具有令人害怕的性质,所以用 “frightening”;“frightened” 是过去分词作表语,用来描述人的感受,句中问 “you”(你)的感受,人在这种情况下会感到害怕,所以用 “frightened”,体现了二者在描述对象及表意上的不同。
3. 答案:Seen; Seeing
解析:“Seen from the top of the mountain” 是过去分词短语作状语,其逻辑主语是 “the scenery”(风景),风景是被从山顶上看,和 “see” 构成被动关系,所以用 “Seen”;“Seeing the scenery from the top of the mountain” 是现在分词短语作状语,其逻辑主语是 “I”(我),是 “我” 主动去看风景,和 “see” 是主动关系,所以用 “Seeing”,体现了现在分词作状语表主动、过去分词作状语表被动这一特点。
4. 答案:Heading; headed
解析:“Heading eastwards” 是现在分词短语作状语,逻辑主语是 “you”(你),“你” 主动朝东行进,与 “head”(朝…… 方向行进)是主动关系,所以用 “Heading”;“headed by its new manager” 是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰 “the company”,“company”(公司)是被新经理领导,和 “head”(领导)是被动关系,所以用 “headed”,体现了分词作不同成分时主动与被动关系的运用差异。
5. 答案:excited; exciting
解析:“excited” 是过去分词作表语,描述 “we”(我们)的感受,当想到芬兰那些美丽的地方时,我们会变得兴奋,所以用 “excited”;“exciting” 是现在分词作定语,用来修饰 “things”(事物),表示那些事物是令人兴奋的,体现了现在分词作定语表主动、令人…… 的特点以及过去分词作表语表人的感受这一区别。
6. 答案:tired; tiring
解析:“tired” 是过去分词作表语,用于描述 “we”(我们)的感受,因为坐了八个小时火车,我们感觉很累,所以用 “tired”;“tiring” 是现在分词作表语,用来描述 “the eight-hour train ride”(八小时的火车旅程)这件事的性质,表明旅程是令人疲惫的,体现了二者在表意及修饰对象上的不同。
7. 答案:satisfied; satisfying
解析:“satisfied” 是过去分词作表语,描述 “I”(我)的感受,我对酒店不满意,强调人的主观感受,所以用 “satisfied”;“satisfying” 是现在分词作定语,修饰 “meal”(饭菜),表示饭菜是令人满意的,体现了现在分词作定语表事物特征以及过去分词作表语表人感受的区别。
8. 答案:boring; bored
解析:“boring” 是现在分词作表语,描述 “the TV programmes”(电视节目)的性质,说明节目很无聊,是令人厌烦的;“bored” 是过去分词作表语,用来描述 “we”(我们)的感受,因为节目无聊,我们感觉很厌烦,体现了现在分词表语表示 “令人…… 的”、过去分词表语表示 “感到…… 的” 这一区别。

二、阅读理解
Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non﹣musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70﹣year﹣old musician hears better than a 50﹣year﹣old non﹣musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown﹣away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
1.How does music affect preterm babies?
A.It helps reduce their pain. B.It helps develop their potential in music.
C.It helps improve their hearing systems. D.It helps repair their neurological systems.
2.What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Lead to. B.Increase. C.Prevent. D.Break into.
3.Why can music mend a broken heart?
A.It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
B.It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
C.It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
D.It can help patients recover in a slow way.
4.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Who Can Benefit from Music B.The Best Time to Listen to Music
C.The Way to Choose Quality Music D.How Music Affects Our Mind and Body
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.A 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了音乐对人的身心产生的积极影响。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.(最近的一项研究表明,早产儿在听音乐时,似乎会感到更少的疼痛,吃得更多。)”可知,研究表明,早产儿听音乐时似乎感到更少的痛苦,由此可知,音乐可以帮助早产儿减少痛苦。故选A项。
2.词义猜测题。根据画线短语前的“Though music cannot make deafness disappear(虽然音乐不能使耳聋消失)”可知,画线短语所在的部分与上文之间为转折关系,根据划线单词后的“Musicians heard the sounds better than non﹣musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70﹣year﹣old musician hears better than a 50﹣year﹣old non﹣musician, even in a noisy environment.(参与者被要求通过一些听力测试。音乐家比非音乐家更能听清声音,这种差异随着年龄的增长而越来越明显。这意味着一个70岁的音乐家比一个50岁的非音乐家听力更好,即使在嘈杂的环境中。)”可知,在该项实验中音乐家比非音乐家更能听清声音,而且这种差异随着年龄的增长而越来越明显,即使在嘈杂的环境中,70岁的音乐家比非音乐家的听力好,结合画线短语前的“Though music cannot make deafness disappear(虽然音乐不能使耳聋消失)”可知,画线短语所在的部分与上文之间为转折关系,所以,此处应指的是尽管音乐不会使耳聋消失,但是真的能“预防”听力丧失,所由此可知,画线短语的意思应与“预防”意义相近。故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据尾段中的“Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.(听高质量的音乐可以产生积极的情绪,改善血液运动,扩张血管,从而促进整个心血管系统的快速恢复。)”可知,挺高质量的音乐能促进整个心虚管系统的快速恢复,由此可知,音乐可以修补一颗破碎的心的原因是它对人体系统的工作有积极的影响。故选A项。
4.主旨大意题。根据首段“Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.(音乐不仅仅是一组声音和节奏。它对大脑的影响比任何其他人类经验都要深刻得多。继续阅读,你会发现音乐的神奇力量。)”可知,该段介绍的是音乐对大脑的印象比任何其他人类经验都要深刻得多,并引出下文,结合下文中的介绍的音乐对早产儿、脑损伤造成的问题、延缓听力丧失以及受伤的心产生的影响可知,本文主要介绍的是音乐给人类身心带来的神奇力量,所以标题“音乐是如何影响我们的心身的”概括了本文的主题,适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。
Adele’s new album, “30”, is finally available. Last month, hundreds of millions of us streamed its first single, “Easy On Me”. This song arouses feelings not easily put into words, but we can probably agree it is a sad song. 5 Yet sad music does pull us in and lift us up.
Let’s start with a biological theory. When we experience real-life loss, or empathize (产生共鸣) with another’s pain, certain hormones are released within us. 6 They do so by making us feel calmed and supported. Feeling Adele’s pain, or recalling our own, may cause such chemical changes within us.
7 Feeling moved can come from us suddenly feeling closer to other people. Indeed, when we have listened to “30”, we may turn to reaction videos to see how others feel. This lets us share an emotional experience with others. And it boosts our feeling of being moved and triggers (激发) feelings of comfort and belonging.
We can also think at the spiritual level. Adele’s songs allow us to view the pleasure in terms of the meaning she helps us make. Adele takes hard life experiences and makes sense of them. This is what sad art does. 8 As philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once put it, someone who has a why to live for can bear almost anyhow.
Ultimately, we listen to Adele’s songs when we want to recall, reflect, or belong. They let us feel her sadness, share our suffering, and connect with others. To all of us, Adele’s songs say: 9
A.These help us to deal with loss and pain.
B.You are not alone in your pain.
C.Life is meaningless without sad music.
D.This may make us better prepared for when real loss strikes.
E.It takes the pain and suffering of the world and gives it meaning.
F.Few people are aware sad music makes us feel good.
G.Psychologically, a key reason we enjoy sad songs is that they profoundly move us.
【答案】5.F 6.A 7.G 8.E 9.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。从三个层面介绍了悲伤音乐确实能让我们振作起来的原因。
5.下文“Yet sad music does pull us in and lift us up. (然而悲伤的音乐确实会让我们投入,并让我们振作起来。)”转折的语义说明,人们没有意识到悲伤音乐的积极作用,选项F“很少有人知道悲伤的音乐能让我们感觉良好。”引领下文,说明很少有人知道悲伤音乐的积极性。故选F项。
6.上文“When we experience real-life loss, or empathize (产生共鸣) with another’s pain, certain hormones are released within us. (当我们经历现实生活中的失落,或同情他人的痛苦时,我们体内就会释放出某些激素。)”说明在失落或痛苦时,体内会释放某些激素,选项A“这些帮助我们处理失落和痛苦。”承接上文,说明这些激素能帮助处理失落和痛苦。选项中loss和pain和上文词汇重叠,语义一致,故选A项。
7.下文“Feeling moved can come from us suddenly feeling closer to other people. Indeed, when we have listened to ‘30’, we may turn to reaction videos to see how others feel. This lets us share an emotional experience with others. (被打动的感觉可能来自于我们突然感觉与他人更亲近。)”解释说明被打动的感觉是怎样产生的,选项G“从心理学上讲,我们喜欢悲伤歌曲的一个关键原因是它们深深地打动了我们。”说明喜欢悲伤歌曲的关键原因是它们深深打动我们,引领下文,做出解释。选项中move us和下文中Feeling moved,语义相关,故选G项。
8.上文“Adele takes hard life experiences and makes sense of them. This is what sad art does. (Adele接受艰难的生活经历,并使它们变得有意义。这就是悲伤艺术的作用。)”说明悲伤歌曲使苦难变得有意义,选项E“它吸收了这个世界的痛苦和磨难,并赋予它意义。”对上文进一步解释说明。故选E项。
9.上文“They let us feel her sadness, share our suffering, and connect with others. To all of us, Adele’s songs say: (它们让我们感受到她的悲伤,分享我们的痛苦,并与他人联系。Adele的歌对我们所有人说:)”说明悲伤歌曲能够使我们分享痛苦,使悲伤的不再是一个人,选项B“你不是一个人在痛苦。”正是Adele的歌(悲伤歌曲)所表达的。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了音乐有帮助让人们睡得更好的功能。
1.考查定语从句。句意:通过一项实验,62名年轻人听了五晚快乐的音乐、五晚悲伤的音乐和五晚粉红色的噪音,研究人员发现,人们在入睡时听音乐后,早上睡得更好,感觉更积极,更少消极,对生活更满意。分析可知,此处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为experiment,指代事物,在从句中作介词宾语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
2.考查形容词比较级。句意:同上。根据上文more positive和下文more satisfied可知,此处用形容词比较级与前后并列作表语。故填less。
3.考查时态和语态。句意:在比较听音乐和听粉红噪音时发现了这些好处。动词find和主语之间是被动关系,根据上文可知,这是过去做的实验,应用一般过去时的被动语态。主语benefits为复数,主谓一致,故填were found。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:考虑到粉红噪音被认为有助于加深睡眠,音乐除了粉红噪音之外的其他有益影响令人印象深刻。be thought to do sth“被认为做某事”是固定句式,不定式作复合谓语。故填to help。
5.考查形容词。句意:同上。系动词are后应用其形容词作表语。故填impressive。
6.考查名词复数。句意:在比较快乐和悲伤的音乐时,睡眠质量和幸福感没有差异。根据前文There were可知,此处应用名词复数作主语。故填differences。
7.考查副词。句意:重要的是,所有的音乐都是为了平静和放松而选择的。修饰整句作状语,应用副词。句首字母大写,故填Importantly。
8.考查介词。句意:虽然这项研究主要针对年轻人,但其他研究也发现了对老年人的影响,这表明音乐可能在整个生命周期中都有帮助。focus on“专注于”是固定搭配。故填on。
9.考查时态。句意:到目前为止,很少有研究测试音乐提高睡眠质量的原因,但人们认为原因包括放松、从不想要的想法中分散注意力以及掩盖不愉快的背景噪音。根据时间状语so far可知,此处应用现在完成时,表示过去的动作对现在的影响。主谓一致,故填has tested。
10.考查连词。句意:同上。后文masking of unpleasant background noise和前文名词是并列关系,应用连词and连接。故填and。
