Passage 02 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 How music takes us back to our past It has happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio and we are immediately taken back to a time in our past. But what is it that makes music so effective at doing this? There are a few things that link tunes (曲调) with our memories. Paul Donoghue, writing for ABC News, reminds us that the emotional nature of music helps make it impressive. Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor in music psychology (心理学), adds that music and singing are often part of many important life events and that it is also very effective in catching our attention. All these mean that music and these events are likely saved together in our memories. The music itself is not hard to forget. Tiffany Jenkins tells us how throughout history oral (口头的) cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs. The rhythm, melody and lyrics all serve as memory aids. She goes on to say that pop music especially can be connected with a special moment in time. As Shahram Heshmat, writing in Psychology Today highlights, we often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. Jakubowski, tells us that the more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is at bringing back memories. This applies to music more than other cultural products because we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Heshmat points out that our musical preferences usually form when we are young, and this is the same as what many experts call the “reminiscence bump”, which is when we make our strongest memories from the age of 10 to 30. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help some patients get memories that they thought they had lost. 1．According to Paul Donoghue, what makes music impressive? 2．How do oral cultures often pass on knowledge? 3．What kind of music can be easily linked to a period of time? 4．According to the passage, how is music different from watching TV or films? We hear songs than watch films or TV programs 5．When did people form their musical preferences? 6．What is your favourite song? What memory does this song call back? 【答案】1．The emotional nature of music. 2．Through songs. 3．Pop music. 4．more often 5．When they were young./When they were between 10 to 30. 6．My favorite song is Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns N’ Roses. It reminds me of road trips with my family when I was a kid. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了音乐如何唤起我们的记忆，以及音乐与记忆之间的紧密联系。 1．根据“Paul Donoghue, writing for ABC News, reminds us that the emotional nature of music helps make it impressive.”可知，音乐的情感特质使其令人印象深刻。故填The emotional nature of music. 2．根据“Tiffany Jenkins tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs.”可知，口头文化通过歌曲传递知识。故填Through songs. 3．根据文章“She goes on to say that pop music especially can be connected with a special moment in time.”可知，流行音乐尤其能与特定时刻联系起来。故填Pop music. 4．根据文章“This applies to music more than other cultural products because we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way.”可知，我们听歌的频率比看电影或电视节目高。故填more often。 5．根据“Heshmat points out that our musical preferences usually form when we are young”及”which is when we make our strongest memories from the age of 10 to 30.“可知，人们的音乐偏好通常在年轻时/10-30岁时形成。故填When they were young./When they were between 10 to 30. 6．开放性试题，言之有理皆可。故填My favorite song is Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns N’ Roses. It reminds me of road trips with my family when I was a kid. Passage 03 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Tom is a 13-year-old boy who has a deep love for music.
