Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced,or probably will. After all,it’s part of human life;needed,at least one time,to become more fully adult. But no question,the experience can be painful,even destructive.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy(同理心) and the desire to connect with others—both roads through the prison of heartache and despair.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.
A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy,compassion(同情),and a desire for positive connection with others. That,itself,is psychologically healing. It draws you away from the prison with yourself,and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment,from the University of Kent,found that when people were experiencing sadness,listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” enhanced their mood. In fact,it did so when the person first consciously embraced their awareness of the situation causing their sadness,and then began listening to the sad music. That is,when they intended that the sad music might help,they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show embracing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—activates healing and growth beyond it. In short,acknowledging your full experience arouses hope—another seeming paradox. For example,research from Cornell University,described here and published in Psychological Science,found that embracing discomfort about a life experience or new situation,and viewing it as a step towards growth and change,create motivation to find a pathway through it,beyond it. As Churchill famously said,“If you’re going through hell,keep going. ” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan,a new action. It fuels hope.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究,该研究表明悲伤的音乐可以振奋精神,帮助你重新感受到生活的快乐和希望,激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望。
1.Which is NOT the benefit of listening to sad music?
A.Making you full of sadness.
B.Activating your feelings of empathy.
C.Healing your broken heart.
D.Giving you a desire to connect with others.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段及第四段中的“A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy,compassion (同情),and a desire for positive connection with others. ”可知,悲伤的音乐可以激发同理心、治愈受伤的心灵且让人渴望与他人联系。由此可知,A项并非听悲伤音乐的好处。故选A。
2.How does the author mainly develop this text?
A.By giving examples. B.By telling experiences.
C.By presenting research findings. D.By quoting a famous saying.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. ”,第四段中的“A recent study from Germany found… with others. ”,第五段中的“Another experiment,from the University of Kent,found that… their mood. ”以及最后一段中的“These findings link with other studies that show embracing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—activates healing and growth beyond it. ”可推知,作者主要是通过呈现研究结果来展开本文的。故选C。
3.Who are most likely to be helped by the “beautiful but sad” music?
A.People who have a broken heart.
B.People who are suffering great pain.
C.People who accept their sadness.
D.People who like beautiful music.

解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“In fact,it did so when the person first consciously embraced their awareness of the situation causing their sadness,and then began listening to the sad music. That is,when they intended that the sad music might help,they found that it did. ”可知,当一个人有意识地去面对自己的悲伤,打算靠悲伤的音乐疗伤时,他们发现自己确实可以被治愈,所以“美丽但悲伤”的音乐最有可能帮助那些接受自己的悲伤的人。故选C。
4.What could be the best title for the text?
A.Listening to Music Brightening Your Life
B.Listening to Sad Music Healing Your Broken Heart
C.The Power and Beauty of Sad Music
D.A Study on Listening to Sad Music
答案:B
解析:标题归纳题。通读全文,并根据第三段“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. ”可知,本文主要介绍了一项研究,该研究表明悲伤的音乐可以治愈受伤的心。故B项适合作本文的最佳标题。故选B。

参考范文:
A Firefighting Drill
Yesterday, a firefighting drill was conducted in our school with all teachers and students involved to arouse our awareness of fire prevention techniques.
The drill started with an alarm, hearing which students quickly evacuated the classrooms orderly under the guidance of the teachers to the appointed place. The fire escape routes were clearly marked, and fire extinguishers were readily available throughout the school. So it was five minutes later that all the buildings were emptied and students and teachers gathered on the playground. Our principal announced the drill was performed better than scheduled.
Both teachers and students appreciated the opportunity to learn about fire safety. Many expressed their gratitude for the school’s initiative in organizing such a drill, as it increased their confidence and awareness in dealing with potential fire hazards.
