"He'd play harmonies in the background on the guitar, and he'd encourage me to improvise (即兴演奏)," Sasha recalls. "He'd tell me to play something using just the white keys or just the black keys, and I'd make up music." She says she was a little composer playing along with her dad in their New Orleans home. "I love those memories," she adds. As Sasha got older, though, her interest in jazz began to flag. Sasha went to a local arts high school and focused on musical theater. Steve admits to hoping his daughter would develop a love for jazz. The father's expectation was eventually met when the daughter rediscovered jazz music. Sasha says she admired a guy in the jazz department and on the day they met, the first thing he said was, "I'm such a big fan of your dad's!" She says the experience helped her realise that her father and his music were, in fact, cool. Finally, Sasha decided to study jazz instead of musical theater at the University of New Orleans, where her father headed the Jazz Studies Programme. Now, Sasha and Steve love playing together and they treasure the common language jazz gives them. Both compose music, but while her father is more focused on traditional jazz and teaching, Sasha likes to produce music with more electronic trends than Steve's. Despite different interests, Steve's pride in his daughter is clear. Today, Sasha is known for her musicality and her ability to improvise. "Improving scares a lot of singers, but for me I feel like a little composer again at the piano next to my dad. I love it in large part because of him," Sasha says. 1. What do we know about young Sasha? A. She was well-known as a jazz guitarist. B. She learnt to compose when she's little. C. She was good at improvising on a piano. D. She performed with her father worldwide. 2. What does Paragraph 4 stress about Sasha? A. Her preparation for a university. B. Her admiration for a jazz student. C. Her going back to jazz and her father. D. Her studying at a local arts high school. 3. What makes Sasha different from her father? A. The style of her music. B. Her preference for the piano. C. Her opinion about improvising. D. The teaching method she sticks to. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Love of Music Leads to a Career of Uncertainty B. Jazz Deepens the Bond Between Father and Daughter C. A Daughter's Musical Choice is Made by Her Father D. A Musical Family Brings Joy to Millions of People B Humans aren't the only animals that move to music. Parrots have been known to do it. And now rats have been observed moving their heads in time with the tunes of Mozart, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson and others, according to a new paper from the University of Tokyo. What's more, the rats seem to respond to the same beats that get humans' feet tapping(轻踩). The researchers played a sonata by Mozart for lab rats at different changes of the original speed: 75%, 100%, 200% and 400%. Wireless sensors(感应器) on the rats' bodies tracked their movements. Meanwhile, 20 people took part in it and listened to the same music through motion sensor-equipped headphones. It was observed that the rats' head movements were the most obvious when the music played at its normal speed, which was around 132 bpm (beats per minute). The same was true for the people taking part in it. The researchers then changed to some pop songs such as Lady Gaga's Bora This Way and Michael Jackson's Beat It. As with Mozart's, rats moved their heads along the rhythm(节奏) of pop songs, similar to how people do, at about 120 to 140 bpm. The study showed that both rats and humans moved their heads along to the beat in a similar rhythm. The level of head moving from both humans and rats decreased as the music sped up. The study suggests that there is something similar about the way human and rat brains respond to rhythm, but rats do not match their motions to the beat like humans do. Humans can tell the timing of a beat in advance and move predictably to it. Anirudh Patel, a psychologist who studies brain response to music, says humans and parrots respond to beats with big, voluntary movements such as head shaking, dancing or foot tapping. Patel also stresses that this study does not show that rats have the same emotional associations with music as humans do. Yet he believes it could help show how humans and some other animals developed a sense of rhythm. 5. What does the study focus on? A. How music influences rats' brains. B. Whether rats can respond to human music. C. Which types of music is attractive to rats. D. Why rats respond to music like human do. 6. At which speed would rats show the clearest movements? A. 75 bpm. B. 100 bpm. C. 132 bpm. D. 150 bpm. 7. How are rats different from humans in response to music? A. They seem more interested in pop music. B. They are unable to tell the beat of music in advance. C. They prefer moving their heads with the beat of music. D. They make similar movements to different rhythms. 8. What is Patel's attitude towards the study? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Negative. Ⅱ. 完形填空 One spring evening, I was extremely tired after a long day of school. I wished for 1_______ but I had to drag my heavy feet to the violin studio. I was playing Moldau to Kate, my teacher. I simply couldn't play with 2_______, though.

B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He'd play harmonies in the background on the guitar, and he'd encourage me to improvise(即兴演奏)”,“I'd make up music”以及“She says she was a little composer playing along with her dad”可知,萨莎小时候跟着父亲学习作曲。故选B。 2. C 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“The father's expectation was eventually met when the daughter rediscovered jazz music.”和最后一句“Finally, Sasha decided to study jazz instead of musical theater at the University of New Orleans, where her father headed the Jazz Studies Programme.”可知,第四段主要讲述了萨莎回归爵士乐、重回父亲身边的经历。故选C。 3. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“while her father is more focused on traditional jazz and teaching, Sasha likes to produce music with more electronic trends than Steve's”可知,萨莎的音乐风格与父亲的有所不同。故选A。 4. B 标题归纳题。纵观全文可知,作者首先为读者呈现了一幅父亲陪伴女儿学琴的画面,接下来讲述了女儿在父亲的影响下学习爵士乐的经历,最后又将画面拉回到当下:女儿学有所成并且喜欢和父亲一起演奏,爵士乐成了父女俩的共同语言。由此可知,B项“爵士乐加深了父女之间的感情”作为文章标题最贴切。故选B。 B语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了老鼠能对人类的音乐做出反应。 5. B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的"And now rats have been observed moving their heads in time with the tunes of Mozart, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson and others, according to a new paper from the University of Tokyo. What's more, the rats seem to respond to the same beats that get humans' feet tapping(轻踩)."和第四段中的"The study showed that both rats and humans moved their heads along to the beat in a similar rhythm... The study suggests that there is something similar about the way human and rat brains respond to rhythm, but rats do not match their motions to the beat like humans do."可推知,研究主要集中在老鼠是否能对人类的音乐做出反应。故选B。 6. C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的"It was observed that the rats' head movements were the most obvious when the music played at its normal speed, which was around 132 bpm (beats per minute)."可知,老鼠在每分钟132拍时表现出最清晰的动作。故选C。 7. B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的"The study suggests that there is something similar about the way human and rat brains respond to rhythm, but rats do not match their motions to the beat like humans do. Humans can tell the timing of a beat in advance and move predictably to it."可知,老鼠和人类对于音乐的反应的不同之处在于老鼠无法提前分辨出音乐的节拍。故选B。 8. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"Yet he believes it could help show how humans and some other animals developed a sense of rhythm."可推知,帕特尔对这项研究持积极的态度。故选A。 Ⅱ. 完形填空 语篇导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在一个春天的晚上,作者在很疲惫的状态下去上音乐课,结果演奏的曲子很不理想,凯特老师让作者画出春天森林里的美景,并带着这种情感去演奏,结果作者演奏出的曲子达到了自己从未达到过的高水平。 1. B 根据上文I was extremely tired after a long day of school可知,作者经过了一整天的学习,感到很疲惫,所以渴望放松休息。care"关心";relaxation"放松";freedom"自由";motivation"动机"。故选B。 2. D 根据上文"I wished for 1 but I had to drag my heavy feet to the violin studio."可知,虽然作者很疲惫,但是仍然坚持上课,这导致作者无法带有情感地拉小提琴。courage"勇气";concern"关心";wisdom"智慧";emotion"情绪"。故选D。 3. C 根据下文"on the sheet music(乐谱)"可知,乐谱上的内容是音符。number"数字";standard"标准";note"音符";word"话语"。故选C。 4. C 根据下文make music describing spring with lively flowers sound like flowers dying bitter deaths可知,但作者仍然成功地把描述春天的音乐演奏得听起来像是花朵要在苦涩中死去。fail"失败";desire"希望";manage"设法完成";offer"提供"。故选C。 5. B 根据下文asking me what the piece's mood was可知,凯特老师听了作者的演奏。watch"观看";listen"听";perform"演奏";pray"祈祷"。故选B。 6. A 根据上文"Kate 5 attentively and then frowned(皱眉),asking me what the piece's mood was."可知,凯特老师问作者在用什么心情演奏这首曲子。由此可推出,老师在批评作者。blankly表达的含义符合语境。blankly"茫然地";angrily"生气地";confidently"自信地";gratefully"感激地"。故选A。 7.
