For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would improve their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly. But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn't taking music lessons make kids smarter? That's exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it did, and some found that it didn't. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children's ability to learn words. The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gobet (London School of Economics and Political Science), looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn't learn music. If music doesn't make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students' school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn't have to be intelligence, and it's likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students' performance in non-music subjects if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 1.What can we learn about the “Mozart Effect”?( ) A.It is most likely to be ineffective. B.It was first proposed by Mozart. C.It helps parents take good care of their children. D.It will draw more and more researchers' attention. 2.What does the example in Paragraph 3 show?( ) A.Listening to music has been proved to benefit kids a lot. B.Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown. C.Listening to music fails to help kids in language learning. D.Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is in doubt. 3.How did the researchers carry out the new study?( ) A.They did 54 small studies in all. B.They observed children in music classes. C.They examined plenty of previous research. D.They did a long-term survey of musical students. 4.What conclusion is made in the last paragraph?( ) A.Intelligence determines one's school performance. B.A student's intelligence can be increased with effort. C.Children should be encouraged to learn music lessons. D.Students should avoid listening to music while studying. B Skillfully fixing music, checking the piano, and testing the microphone, Wan Shicheng, 25, looked around the stage, briefly introduced the band members, and began to sing. The harmonious flow of music made it hard for the audience to imagine that it was a band made up of people with intellectual disabilities. Wan's IQ is 40, or the level of a three-year-old child. Guitarist Zhang Mingqiu, keyboardist Chen Tairan and drummer Huang Shi all have autism (孤独症). They were drawn from a help center with intellectual disabilities in Yueyang, Hunan Province. Last year, the band was formed under the guidance of the center's instructor Peng Xiaokang. Peng became a volunteer at the center in 2019. With a music education background, he was surprised to find many of the people had artistic talent. According to Peng, the band practicing is a positive form of therapy, helping the members develop positive behavior and aiding the preparation for their social integration. It takes them a bit longer time to master the songs, but Peng doesn't mind. “There is no shortcut but patience,” he says. As Peng expected, the band's first performances proved challenging. But some members also struggled to adapt to a less strict schedule. Gradually, they became less resistant and started actively practicing and even became keen to perform. “Their performance has inspired many families just like theirs,” Peng says, adding that many people with intellectual disabilities are “stuck” at home with nothing to do. On Aug.19, the band toured Changsha to perform in front of charity organizations, volunteers, and people with intellectual disabilities. As the band marked the first anniversary, they hoped to make more people aware of the group. “We definitely want to support them, and to learn from such education models, and hope to promote them in our city,” says Jiang Ying, who was on an organization that helps families and children with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征). 1.What were the members of the band suffering?( ) A.Heart attack. B.Down syndrome. C.Serious blindness. D.Intellectual disabilities. 2.Which word can be used to best describe Peng?( ) A.Humorous. B.Athletic. C.Patient. D.Forgetful. 3.What can we conclude from Peng's words?( ) A.People with autism are far from smart. B.Some intellectually disabled people are jobless. C.The band members can't adapt to the strict schedule. D.People with intellectual disabilities are stuck in learning. 4.What can be the best title for the text?( ) A.Performances taking much active practice B.A non-profit band receiving full recognition C.Young musicians gaining more experience D.A special band bringing hope to similar people 三、七选五。 Getting older means greater maturity and wisdom. 1.___ In a society that is aging fast, it has become crucial to find ways to prevent related mental and emotional disorders.
