Many believe that music helps to boostW1 creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challengingW2 that notion. Psychologists from Lancaster University, the University of Gavle, and the University of Central Lancashire say that their findings indicate music actually stops creativity. To come to their conclusions, researchers made participants complete verbal (语言的) insightW3 problems designed to inspire their creativity while in a quiet room and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music “damaged” the participants' ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity. 课后课时作业 The research team also tested background noises such as those often heard in a library, but found that such noises had no impact on subjects' creativity. The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word associated with all three that could be combined W4 to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc). Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music: music with unfamiliar lyrics, instrumental music or music with familiar lyrics. 课后课时作业 They found strong evidence of damaging performance when playing background music in comparison toP quiet background conditions. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the study's authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “steady state” environment that doesn't disrupt concentration. It's worth mentioning that even familiar music with well­known lyrics would damage participants' creativity, regardless of whether or not it inspired a positive reaction, or whether participants typically studied or created while listening to music. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。研究发现了背景音乐实际上不仅没有提高创造力，还阻碍了创造力的发挥。 课后课时作业 1．What does the underlined word “notion” mean in the first paragraph? A．Concept. B．Mistake. C．Method. D．Design. 答案：A　词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“Many believe that music helps to boost creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that notion．” 可知，许多人认为音乐有助于提高创造力，但一项由英国和瑞典研究人员进行的国际研究正在挑战这个观点。根据转折词“but”和“is challenging”可知，音乐有助于提高创造力这个观点受到了挑战。因此，notion意为“观点，概念”。故选A。 课后课时作业 2．What effect does the background music have on the creativity of the participants? A．It is bad for the creativity. B．It is good for the creativity. C．It improves the creativity. D．It destroys the creativity. 答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“They found that background music ‘damaged’ the participants' ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativity.”可知，背景音乐不利于参与者发挥创造力。故选A。 课后课时作业 3．What background music has nothing to do with creativity? A．Instrumental music. B．Music with familiar lyrics. C．Music with unfamiliar lyrics. D．Common noise in the library. 答案：D　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The research team also tested background noises such as those often heard in a library, but found that such noises had no impact on subjects' creativity.”可知，研究团队还测试了背景噪音，比如经常在图书馆听到的噪音，但发现这些噪音对研究对象的创造力没有影响。由此可知，图书馆里常见的噪音背景对创造力没有影响。故选D。 课后课时作业 4．What should we do in the future according to the study? A．Never listen to music. B．Listen to some strong music. C．Don't listen to music while studying. D．Only listen to Mozart while studying. 答案：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It's worth mentioning that even familiar music with well­known lyrics would damage participants' creativity”可知，即使是熟悉的歌词，也会损害参与者的创造力。由此可推断，学习时不要听音乐。故选C。 课后课时作业 W重点单词 1．boost adj. ____________ 2.challenge vt. ______ 3．insight n. _______ 4.combine v. ____________ P重点短语 in comparison to ____________ 促进，增加 挑战 洞察力 结合，组合 与……相比 课后课时作业 Ⅱ　七选五 Most people recognise the music John Williams wrote for the film Jaws. As soon as you hear it, you begin thinking that a shark will attack. __1__ On the big screen, Jaws is a scary film. However, if you watch it without the music, it becomes boring. The music tells you to be frightened about what you are seeing. Good film scores always signal how to feel about what is happening on the screen. 课后课时作业 __2__ He did the music for many films, such as The Dark Knight, Inception, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator and The Lion King. Zimmer and Williams have very different styles and ideas for film scores. There are people who do not like Williams' scores for the Harry Potter films because they stand out too much, while some people do not like Zimmer's scores because they sometimes do not stand out enough. __3__ When you leave a film, you should not be saying, “Wow! Great music！” Instead, you should be saying, “Wow Great film！” 课后课时作业 A third, very different kind of film composer is Tan Dun. __4__ Tan started out as a musician for the Peking Opera. However, he fell in love with Western classical music, and started writing classical Western operas that show a strong touch of Chinese music. Like his operas, the scores for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Hero use Chinese musical instruments and styles in a Western classical music score. The music follows all of the rules of most film scores—the purpose is to tell you how to feel about the action in the film, and to help tell the story. However, perhaps because of Tan's background in classical music, his scores can stand alone as works of art without needing a film to support them. Film scores are almost always a form of classical music. However, unlike most classical music they have never been considered high art. __5__ 课后课时作业 A．They can never reach an agreement. B．Of course, in many ways, that is not the point. C．Williams is not alone in making audience feel so. D．And that is exactly what you are meant to think. E．Perhaps with Tan Dun, this will begin to change. F．Unlike many film composers, he has classical music background. G．No one can talk about film scores without talking about Hans Zimmer. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章描述了与电影配乐相关的三位重要人物：John Williams (约翰·威廉姆斯)，Hans Zimmer (汉斯·季默)和Tan Dun (谭盾)及他们的作品特点，并认为电影配乐同样存在一定的艺术价值。 课后课时作业 1．D　文章开头引入例子：John Williams为电影Jaws(《大白鲨》)创作的配乐具有逼真感；并根据设空前一句“As soon as you hear it, you begin thinking that a shark will attack.”可知，当你听到它的时候，就开始认为鲨鱼会攻击你。D项(那完全就是你会想到的。)承接前文，且选项中“what”指代前面一句描述的场景。故选D。 2．G　根据后文“Zimmer and Williams' have very different styles and ideas for film scores.”可知，季默和威廉姆斯的电影配乐风格和理念非常不同。由此可知，设空处放在本段开头，且设空后的“He”应该指代“Zimmer”。G项(谈到电影配乐，就不能不提到汉斯·季默。)符合语境。故选G。 课后课时作业 3．B　设空处前文描写人们对于两位配乐大师在著名电影作品中的批评，根据后文“When you leave a film, you should not be saying, ‘Wow! Great music！’ Instead, you should be saying, ‘Wow Great film！’”可知，当你看完一部电影的时候，你不可能说：“哇！伟大的音乐！”相反，你可能会说：“哇，好电影！”由此可知，B项(当然，在很多方面，这并不是问题的关键。)承前启后。故选B。 4．F　本段说明了音乐家谭盾的音乐。设空前文引出作曲家谭盾不一样，设空后提到他在作品中加入古典音乐，F项(与许多电影作曲家不同，他有古典音乐背景。)承前启后。故选F。 课后课时作业 5．E　根据前文“Film scores are almost always a form of classical music. However, unlike most classical music they have never been considered high art.(电影配乐几乎都是古典音乐的形式。然而，与大多数古典音乐不同的是，它们从未被认为是高雅的艺术。)”可知，本段在讲配乐与古典音乐的关系，且表明了配乐不能匹敌古典音乐的地位。上一段描写了谭盾在作品中加入古典音乐，E项(可能遇见了谭盾，这种情况会发生改变。)作为此类观点上的补充，且“this”指代“they have never been considered high art”。故选E。 课后课时作业 Ⅲ　读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “Wanted: Violin. Can't pay much. Contact …” I rarely read the classified advertisements, so why did I notice that one? I laid the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, during the Great Depression when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too, had wanted a violin. 课后课时作业 When my older twin sisters began showing an interest in music, Harriet Anne learned to play Grandma's piano, while Suzanne turned to Daddy's violin. Simple tunes became lovely melodies. My baby brother danced; Daddy hummed and Mother whistled. I just listened. When my arms grew long enough, I tried to play Suzanne's violin. Oh, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question. One evening as the twins played in the school orchestra. I closed my eyes tight to capture the picture firmly in my mind. Someday, I'll sit up there, I vowed silently. It was not a good year. At harvest the crops didn’t bring as much as we had hoped. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own ?” 课后课时作业 “Can't you use Suzanne's ?” “I'd like to be in the orchestra too, and we can't both use the same violin at the same time.” Daddy's face looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God in our family prayers, “… and Lord, Mary Lou wants her own violin.” One evening we all sat round the table. The twins and I studied. Mother sewed and Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, George Finkle, in Columbus, Ohio. Mr Finkle, Daddy said, was a fine violinist. When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he asked me, “Mary Lou, do you want to go with me to visit Mr Finkle ?” 课后课时作业 He drove us to Columbus and we came to a fine, old house. A tall man opened the door. He and Daddy heartily shook hands, both talking at once.　 “Mary Lou, I've been hearing things about you. Your Daddy has arranged a surprise for you！” He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play. The melody surged and spoke like waterfalls. Oh, to play like him, I thought. Finishing the piece, he turned to Daddy. “I found it in a pawnshop (当铺) for seven dollars. It's a good violin. Mary Lou should be able to make a beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me. 课后课时作业 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I noticed the tears in Daddy's eyes as I finally comprehended.

It was mine! “It's beautiful.” I said, barely breathing. I knew Daddy's prayer, and mine, had been answered. Back home, I practiced daily, feeling no tiredness. When I was ready to join the school orchestra, I trembled with excitement. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly in the audience at their little girl who held her cherished violin for the whole world to admire. The years seemed to run more swiftly then. I packed my violin in its case and stepped into the grown­up world. Nurse's training, marriage, working, bringing up four daughters filled my years. Yet none of my children cared about the violin. 课后课时作业 I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement. Laying the paper aside, I went to find my violin. And I dialed the number. Later that afternoon, an old car stopped in my driveway. A man in his thirties with a young girl knocked on the door. “I've been praying someone would answer my advertisement. My daughter wants a violin so badly.” He said, “How much are you asking？” “Seven dollars，” I said. I handed the case to the girl. She opened the case and touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late­afternoon sun. Then she threw her arms round her smiling father. 课后课时作业 R $$
