[素能提升练] Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分) A (2025·哈尔滨三中高一检测) Music can make you laugh，make you cry，give you chills(寒冷)，shake your body，or—as anyone who has ever attended an evening performance at the concert knows too well—put you to sleep.New research from scientists around the world says that there's a good reason for this，and now you can make use of it to make your own bedtime even more relaxing. Music has been used in healing(治疗) ceremonies for thousands of years and across cultures—but let's talk about a surprising new study out of Hong Kong.Researchers found that study participants who listened to music for 30 to 45 minutes before bed every night for three months fell asleep more quickly，slept more deeply，and felt better the next morning.The catch：The songs they listened to were all set at tempos(节奏) between 60 and 80 beats per minute—our general heart rate when falling asleep. Of course，the same is true of energetic music：The Royal Automobile Club Foundation for Motoring ranked Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries as the world's most dangerous song for motorists，thanks to a wild tempo that challenges drivers' normal sense of speed. Armed with findings about the link between tempos and heartbeat，sleep therapists(睡眠专家) have even begun working with musicians to create what could become known to history as the coolest music ever.In 2011，the English trio(三人组) known as Marconi Union worked with the British Academy of Sound Therapy to create an eight-minute instrumental track called Weightless，and it worked.Dr David Lewis-Hodgson of Mindlab International even added：“I would advise against driving while listening to the song because it could be dangerous.” Want to help your relaxation before bedtime? Make this your official playlist for a sweet sleep： ·Weightless by Marconi Union ·Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy ·Canzonetta Sul'aria by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart　 ·Nocturne in E Flat Major Op.9 No.2 by Frederic Chopin ·The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel Sleep tight! 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于音乐的新发现以及一份助眠歌单。 1．What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the 1st paragraph? A．Music makes you emotional. B．Music makes you move along. C．Music makes you sleepy. D．Music makes you excited. 答案：C 解析：代词指代题。根据前一句中的“put you to sleep”和画线词后的“to make your own bedtime even more relaxing”可推知，画线词this指的是上文中的“音乐可以让你犯困”这一现象。故选C。 2．Which way can make you sleep more quickly? A．Listening to The Boxer on bed. B．Listening to Wagner's in the car. C．Playing songs of Marconi Union. D．Doing puzzles for half an hour. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据文中的“Want to help your relaxation before bedtime? Make this your official playlist for a sweet sleep：”下面的“·The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel”可知，躺在床上听《拳击手》能让你睡得更快。故选A。 3．What can we know about Weightless? A．It is against by Dr David Lewis-Hodgson. B．Its beat may pace with the heart rate. C．It is a treatment for the loss of sleep. D．Its effect needs to be tested. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段前两句可知，根据节奏和心率之间的联系，睡眠专家与音乐家合作创作了《失重》并取得了成功。由此可推知，《失重》的节奏可能与心率同步。根据第四段最后一句可知，A项与文意不符；文章没有提到C项；根据第四段第二句中“it worked”可知，D项不对。故选B。 4．Which may have the fastest beats? A．Clair de Lune. B．Weightless. C．Canzonetta Sul'aria. D．Ride of the Valkyries. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段可知，《女武神之旅》是充满活力的音乐，被评为世界上对司机来说最危险的歌曲，因为它的狂野节奏挑战了司机的正常速度感。而选项中的其他歌曲都在助眠歌单中，由此可推知，《女武神之旅》的节奏可能是最快的。故选D。 B (2025·广西桂林中学高一检测) You have probably heard of the Mozart effect.It's the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart，they will become more intelligent.A quick Internet search reveals (透露) plenty of products to help you in the task.Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart's music，but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever，the picture is more mixed. The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991，but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked (引发) real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain.It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable.Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself；his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it，we'll become more intelligent. The idea took off，with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children，and in 1998 Zell Miller，the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US，even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music.It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart's music on purpose，even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk. I'll leave the debate on the effect on milk yield to farmers，but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies proved that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally，but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn't make us more intelligent. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了许多人相信听莫扎特的音乐会让人更聪明，但研究表明这种影响是短暂的，并不能让人们更加聪明。 5．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Mozart composed many musical pieces for children. B．Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent. C．There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect. D．There are few products on the Internet about Mozart's music. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Whatever your age...the picture is more mixed.”可知，几乎没有科学证据支持莫扎特效应——听莫扎特音乐能让你更聪明。故选C。 6．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggest? A．The idea was accepted by many people. B．People were strongly against the idea. C．The US government helped support the idea. D．Mozart played an important part in people's life. 答案：A 解析：句意理解题。根据第三段“with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children”可知，很多父母给孩子听莫扎特的音乐，表明这种想法被大部分人接受，故选A。 7．What can be inferred from the text? A．People will become more clever if they listen to Mozart's music again and again. B．Listening to Mozart's music can bring us benefits constantly. C．We can get some benefits from listening to Mozart's music. D．The author is positive about Mozart's effect. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“More research...make us more intelligent.”可推知，我们可以从听莫扎特的音乐中得到一些好处。故选C。 8．What would be the best title for the passage? A．To Be or Not to Be? B．What Music Is Beneficial? C．What Is the Mozart Effect? D．Listening to Mozart，Necessary? 答案：D 解析：标题归纳题。文章介绍许多人相信听莫扎特的音乐会让人更聪明，但研究表明这种影响是短暂的，并不能让人们更加聪明。由此可知，D选项最适合作文章标题。故选D。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Music is a lot more than how it is defined.It can break down language barriers and provide us with a means to better express ourselves.It speaks to the depths of our souls and holds various benefits for people of all ages.1( ) Now let's dig into some of its advantages.
