(2023·吉林一模)When I was a teenager,my dad wasn't terribly interested in the music I liked.To him,it just sounded like “ 1 ”,while he referred to the music he listened to as “ 2 ”.As I've grown older,I'll often hear people of my age say things like “they just don't make 3 music like they used to”.
Luckily,my 4 as a psychologist has given me some insights into this puzzle.We know that musical tastes begin to 5 when we're teenagers.By the time we're in our early 20s,these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.
In fact,studies have found that by the time we turn 33,most of us have 6 listening to new music.Meanwhile,those familiar songs released when you're in your early teens are likely to remain quite 7 among your age group for the rest of your life.There could be a biological 8 for this.There's evidence that the brain's ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords,rhythms and melodies gets 9 with age.So to older people,less 10 songs might all “sound the same”.
But I believe there are some simpler 11 for older people's dislike of newer music—the “mere exposure effect”.It means that the more we're 12 to something,the more we tend to like it.
Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we 13 as teens seem more intense than those that come later.We also know that intense emotions are 14 with stronger memories and preferences.All of this might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.
So there's 15 wrong with your parents because they don't like your music.In a way,it's all part of the natural order of things.

[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了老年人不喜欢新音乐的原因。
1.C [解析]根据上文my dad wasn't terribly interested in the music I liked可知,作者的父亲不喜欢作者听的音乐,所以父亲认为作者的音乐很难听,像噪声。故选C。
2.A [解析]根据句中表示对比的连词while可知,父亲听他自己喜欢的音乐和听作者喜欢的音乐的感觉截然不同,作者听的音乐像噪声,父亲听的音乐就应该是美妙的。故选A。
3.D [解析]根据前文“To him,it just sounded like ...he listened to as ‘ 1 ’.”可知,作者年少时,父亲认为他自己听的是美妙的、动听的好音乐;作者长大后,他的同龄人认为父辈只是不能再像以前那样做出美妙的好音乐了。故选D。
4.C [解析]根据空后的as a psychologist可知,作者是一名心理学家,这是他的职业背景。故选C。
5.B [解析]根据后文“By the time we're ...place pretty firmly.”可知,20出头时,人们的音乐品味就固定下来了,说明音乐品味是在十几岁青少年时期开始形成的。故选B。
6.A [解析]根据前文及常识可知,人们20出头时,音乐品味就已经固定了,到33岁时,应该不会再接受新的音乐风格,所以大多数人都停止听新歌了。故选A。
7.D [解析]根据前文“We know that musical tastes ...when we're teenagers.”和“In fact, ...listening to new music.”可知,人们到33岁时,基本上就不听新歌了,他们喜欢的还是十几岁时形成的音乐风格,所以在以后的日子里,那些在十几岁时喜欢的歌曲在同龄人之间可能还是很受欢迎。故选D。
8.C [解析]根据下文“There's evidence that ...with age.”可知,这句话从生物学上说明了原因。故选C。
9.B [解析]根据下文中的sound the same可知,随着年龄的增长,大脑很难区分不太熟悉的歌曲,认为听起来都一样,说明大脑区分不同和弦、节奏和旋律的能力更差了。故选B。
10.C [解析]根据上文可知,老年人很难区分不同的和弦、节奏和旋律,所以对于不太熟悉的歌曲就无法分辨,感觉听起来都差不多。故选C。
11.D [解析]根据前文“There could be a biological 8 for this.”和本句中的simpler及“the ‘mere exposure effect’”可知,前文对于老年人不喜欢新音乐,从生物学上分析了原因。本句应该提出相对来说更为简单的原因——单纯的接触效应。故选D。
12.D [解析]根据上文的mere exposure effect可知,本句进一步解释了这一效应:我们对某物接触得越多,就越喜欢它。be opposed to反对;be devoted to致力于;be adapted to适应;be exposed to接触,暴露。故选D。
13.A [解析]根据下文“We also know that ...with stronger memories and preferences.”和常识可知,强烈的情绪与记忆有关,说明年少时经历过的情绪会加深记忆。故选A。
14.B [解析]根据上文“Psychology research has shown ...those that come later.”和下文“All of this might explain why ...so memorable and beloved.”可知,青少年时期经历的情绪更加强烈,会使歌曲更加难忘和令人喜爱,说明强烈的情绪与更强的记忆和偏好相关。故选B。
15.B [解析]根据下文“In a way,it's all part of the natural order of things.”和全文内容可知,父母不喜欢新音乐是一种不可抗拒的自然规律,他们本身并没有错。故选B。
