Unit 2 The universal language Period 1 Welcome to the unit & Reading(1) Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。 Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective(主观的) matter. It can also be highly unstable(不稳定的), changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days. Yet despite such variety, there are three factors that I think are the main contributors(因素).① The first is our upbringing, or the musical background which surrounded us in our formative years(性格形成时期). The kinds of music that we were exposed to when we were small helped to create very specific mental patterns.② However, even the most stable musical pattern can be changed by socio­cultural concerns, and these form the second contributor to our musical preferences. Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating(调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants. Whether you're into heavy metal, or hip hop, or jazz, your preferences are guided in part by your desire to be a member of some social circle. These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously, without the listener being aware of it, but this is obviously not the case.③ Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. Especially today, with nearly unlimited access to all styles of music, we use music as a tool for regulating our emotions and moods. This is why when you want to study, you might reach for something simple, without words.④ Or when you're trying to relax before bed, you'll probably listen to something calming. All of these point to the fantastic flexibility of music in our lives. 一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 (　　) 1.

C　推理判断题。根据第三段中“Music, probably from the very beginning … of large groups of participants.”可知，音乐在群体活动中的作用是可以把人们凝聚在一起。 3. C　推理判断题。根据第四段中“These two factors seem to suggest that … our own subjective feeling at the time of listening.”及“This is why when you want … fantastic flexibility of music in our lives.”可知，人们的主观感受在对音乐的喜好上起了重要的作用。 4. A　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了影响人们对音乐的喜好的三个主要因素。所以A项“什么决定了人们在音乐上的品位”符合文章的主题。 二、 1. 分析：本句为主从复合句。“there are three factors” 是句子的主干部分；“that I think are the main contributors” 是定语从句，修饰先行词 three factors。从句中，that做主语，I think是插入语，are the main contributors 是系动词＋表语。 译文：然而，尽管有如此多的种类，但我认为有三个因素是主要的促成因素。 2. 分析：本句为主从复合句。主体部分为“The kinds of music helped to create very specific mental patterns”，是主谓宾结构，宾语是不定式to create very specific mental patterns。整个句子中间插入两个从句，一个是“that we were exposed to”，为定语从句，修饰主语The kinds of music；另一个是“when we were small”，为时间状语从句。 译文：我们在小时候接触到的音乐类型有助于形成非常特定的思维模式。 3. 分析：本句为并列复合句。整个句子由but连接构成并列句，前一半为主谓宾结构，宾语是to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously，其中that引导宾语从句；后一半为主系表结构。 译文：这两个因素似乎表明，音乐偏好是在无意识中形成的，听众对此并不知晓，但事实显然并非如此。 4. 分析：本句为主从复合句。整个句子是主系表结构，表语由why引导构成表语从句，其中又有“when you want to study”构成时间状语从句。 译文：这就是为什么当你想要学习的时候，你可能会选择一些简单的、没有歌词的音乐。 Ⅱ. 1—5 CAGFE Ⅲ. 1—5 ACDCA　6—10 DBCBA　11—15 BDABC 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
