广州市玉岩中学2025学年第二学期高一年级月考（一） 高一英语 第Ⅰ卷（选择题） 第一部分 阅读（共两节；满分50分） 第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Ancient Chinese people enjoyed special summer treats similar to modern ice cream and fruit dishes. Here are three popular ones from history. Su Shan (Crumbled Ice Dessert) Su Shan was a dish made of crushed (碎的) ice mixed with milk and butter. Poet Wang Lingran from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) described its preparation in his poem Ode to Su Shan: sugar was added, and the dessert was shaped into various forms, sometimes decorated with flowers and leaves. The texture (口感) was unique — “neither hard nor watery, melting at once on the tongue”. Many scholars believe this was an early form of ice cream. Ice and Iced Drinks Though refrigerators didn’t exist, iceboxes for storing ice became common in wealthy Tang Dynasty families. People drank iced water or ate crushed ice. By the Song Dynasty (960-1279), iced drinks were widely sold on streets. Some rich people even offered free iced water and medicinal drinks, with little green beans or a sweet-taste root, on streets as community service to prevent sickness from the heat. Cherries with Cheese and Sugar Syrup (糖浆) During the Wei, Jin, and Southern-Northern Dynasties (220-581), dairy products like cheese became more common. In the Tang Dynasty, warmer climates in the Yellow River region led to widespread cherry growing. Cherries, ripe in early summer, were often paired with cheese and sugar syrup. Song Dynasty poet Lu You noted, “Eat cherries, peaches, and cheese together.” These treats — added with a little extra from green beans to cherries — show how ancient Chinese people creatively cooled off in summer with flavors and textures to make them more tasty, which were very much like modern favorites. 1. What was the unique texture of Su Shan according to Wang Lingran’s poem? A. It was hard and required chewing. B. It felt thick and creamy like yogurt. C. It remained hard for hours after serving. D. It softened soon when touching the tongue. 2. Why did wealthy people offer free iced water publicly in the Song Dynasty? A. To honor a traditional festival event. B. To attract customers to their ice shops. C. To introduce some new medicinal drinks. D. To help people avoid heat-related illness. 3. What do all three treats have in common? A. They were all for wealthy families. B. They included tasty extra additions. C. They included expensive food fillings. D. They were cold desserts with medicine. B In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said. However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said. Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ ” on her resume. Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said. When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter. 4. What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013? A. Emotion management. B. Interpersonal relationship. C. Work-life balance. D. Alcohol addiction. 5. What prepared Deegan for her bakery business? A. Working previously in the baking industry. B. Seeing people running to get cookies. C. Wanting desperately to gain total control. D. Offering baked food out of goodwill. 6. According to paragraph 4 and 5, what is special about Deegan and her business? A. She achieved success through baking. B. She was ambitious about her business. C. She has an open-door employment policy. D. She only hired inexperienced workers. 7. Which of the following best describes Deegan? A. Creative and smart. B. Persistent and receptive. C. Honest and optimistic. D. Kind and easy-going. C Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology. The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor present on nociceptors (疼痛感受器) — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃. When activated, these cells trigger an instant alarm response, causing the body to react as if it’s been burned. This begs the question: why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger? The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the neural system. Initially, the brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat, triggering an alarm-like response. Through repeated exposure, however, it receives consistent feedback indicating no actual tissue damage occurs. The feeling is gradually reassessed as non-threatening and manageable, transforming the initial pain into a form of “benign masochism”. The perceived danger, once subjected to our control, becomes an integral part of the pleasure. Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate. So, what can you do if the spice becomes overwhelming? Since capsaicin is fat-soluble, water is ineffective because it only spreads the compound. Dairy products like milk or yogurt are far better solutions — the fat and protein in them combine with the capsaicin and carry it away. 8. What is the main idea of para. 2? A. The origin of what we perceive from peppers. B. The role of capsaicin as a plant’s defense mechanism. C. The mechanism of how capsaicin triggers a pain alarm. D. The reasons why we enjoy the feeling of potential danger. 9. What can be inferred about the enjoyment of spicy food? A. A false alarm is triggered upon encountering spiciness. B. Pleasure arises as a consequence of neural response. C. “Benign masochism” contributes to manageable pain. D. The pleasure brings about controllable damage. 10. Which experience is most similar to enjoying spicy food? A. Smoking cigarettes. B. Exploring the wild area. C. Watching a horror movie. D. Drinking a cup of black coffee. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Capsaicin’s Secret: A Harmless Fire Alarm. B. The Chili Lover’s Dilemma: Pleasure in Pain. C. The Science Behind the Spice: Love for the Burn. D. From Burn to Pleasure: Building Spice Tolerance. D Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right. The study conducted by a research team found that people around the world could identify lullabies (摇篮曲), dance songs, and comforting songs — regardless of the songs’ cultural origin — after hearing just a 14-second clip (片段). The finding suggests that not only is music deeply rooted in human nature, but that some types of songs break cultural boundaries. The findings are based on a wide-reaching experiment in which 750 online participants in 60 countries listened to brief clips of songs collected from nearly 90 small societies around the world, including hunter-gatherers and some special farmers. Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love. Two additional uses — mourning (哀悼) the dead and telling a story — were included as controls. The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world. The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said. The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study. This time, they asked listeners about a number of contextual and musical features, ranging from the gender of the singers to the rhythm of the song. When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries. 12. What did the participants do in the first study? A. They distinguished functions of the songs. B. They identified the cultural origins of the songs. C. They recognized the non-musical characteristics of the songs. D. They sorted the songs according to the gender of the singers. 13. What does the underlined part “ran counter to” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Were equal to. B. Were similar to. C. Were superior to. D. Were opposite to. 14. Why did the researchers carry out the second study? A. To test the musical knowledge of a wider audience. B. To collect more diverse songs from various cultures. C. To confirm the surprising results from the first one. D. To explore the underlying reasons behind the findings. 15. What can we learn from the two studies? A. Listeners recognize music by its rhythm. B. Something about music might be universal. C. Dance music is usually slower and simpler. D. Cultural similarities lead to similar musical features. 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的7个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a radio presenter, I noticed that individuals often prefer music from their teens or early twenties. ____16____ Firstly, we tend to have a different good memory between the ages of about ten and thirty. ____17____ The second reason is that music is a powerful trigger for our emotions, which in turn sparks our memories. The music in our teen years is likely to have lots of emotions to understand, so even a very small part of a particular song can bring powerful feelings and memories flooding back. ____18____ It can have a calming effect, putting you in a relaxed mood, ready to remember. Rhythms and rhymes are great memory aids. And when we love a song, we tend to repeat it over and over again. Singing or playing something can even activate “muscle memory”, and there are many cases of people with severe memory loss still being able to perform music they learned decades ago. So the next time you hear a familiar song, put it to good use, to explore and exercise your memory. Think about the places and people it reminds you of and the emotions it brings. ____19____ Remember a particular time in your life, think about the music you listened to then and let it take you back, following the connections as you piece together the past. You can also use music when you’re learning. ____20____ If you’re dealing with several topics, play different styles of music while learning different things. Experiment to see what works for you. Songs can have a powerful impact on memory, and that should be music to everyone’s ears! A. There are two very good reasons for that. B. The following practical suggestions are just for you. C. There are further ways in which music boosts recall. D. Find recordings that energize your thinking in your study. E. Some people use music to make themselves fall asleep faster. F.

They were all for wealthy families. B. They included tasty extra additions. C. They included expensive food fillings. D. They were cold desserts with medicine. 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了三种中国古代的夏季美食：苏山（一种早期的冰淇淋）；冰块和冰镇饮品来消暑；以及搭配奶酪的樱桃。这些内容展示了古人如何创造性地制作出清凉可口的食物来抵御酷热。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Su Shan (Crumbled Ice Dessert)中“The texture (口感) was unique — “neither hard nor watery, melting at once on the tongue”. Many scholars believe this was an early form of ice cream.( 其口感独特——“既不坚硬也不稀薄，入口即化”。许多学者认为这是早期的冰淇淋形式)”可知，根据王泠然的诗，苏山的独特口感是触碰舌头时很快就会变软。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ice and Iced Drinks中“Some rich people even offered free iced water and medicinal drinks, with little green beans or a sweet-taste root, on streets as community service to prevent sickness from the heat.( 一些富人甚至在街头免费提供冰水和含有小绿豆或甜味根茎的药用饮品，作为社区服务来预防炎热带来的疾病)”可知，在宋朝富人免费提供冰水，是为了帮助人们预防中暑和热病。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“These treats — added with a little extra from green beans to cherries — show how ancient Chinese people creatively cooled off in summer with flavors and textures to make them more tasty, which were very much like modern favorites.( 这些美食——再加上一些来自绿豆的额外配料——展示了古代中国人如何通过独特的口味和质地来为夏日降温，使其更加美味，这与现代的美食非常相似)”可知，这三种甜点的共同之处是它们都包含美味的额外配料。故选B项。 B In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking.

Honest and optimistic. D. Kind and easy-going. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了戒酒后想要把控自己生活的迪根喜欢烘焙，原来给别人送自制的饼干是想和别人搞好关系，这个爱好促成了她开启烘焙事业，同时因为自身的经历，她在招募员工时很包容，不嫌弃对方是否有相关工作经历或者不光彩的过去。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said. (2013年，迪根在与酗酒的斗争中获胜后，试图控制自己的生活。她确实戒酒了，但她很难与人重新建立联系。事实证明，与他人对视都很困难。迪根说：‘我有点像一副躯壳，真的没有很多生活技能或自信。’)”可知，2013年时候的Deegan很难与人重新建立联系，甚至都害怕与他人对视，可知，Deegan 在人际交往方面很吃力。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. ‘Feeding people is such a universal love language, ’ she said. (迪根开始把她自制的饼干带到人们的家里，这帮助她与人们重新建立联系。她说：‘喂饱人们是一种普世的爱的语言。’)”可知，Deegan 认为给人送食物能表达爱，所以她经常给别人送上自己做的饼干；第四段“Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. (迪根的生活在2015年发生了改变。在朋友们的鼓励下，她挑战自己，看能不能卖掉一个派。她卖了几十个！她开始在自己的小公寓里烘焙，并最终在2017年推出了正式业务。)”可知，也正是这种出于好意的为他人提供烘焙食品的行为，为后来Deegan 烘焙店生意奠定了基础，故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking.She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. (2013年，迪根在与酗酒的斗争中获胜后，试图控制自己的生活。她确实戒了酒，但她很难与人重新建立联系)”可知，迪根以前是一个嗜酒之人，但已戒了；最后一段中“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,’ Deegan told the reporter. (迪根说，当她需要更多帮助时，她会找那些对工作充满热情的人，即使他们没有任何经验。在经历了自己的挣扎之后，她意识到工作的愿望比拥有某种技能更好。她成为了第二次机会的雇主，雇佣监狱或收容所的女性。迪根告诉记者：‘你只需要走进那扇门，做好准备，愿意、能够、兴奋地出现并工作，你就得到了一份工作。’)”可知，有酗酒史的Deegan的面包店不关注应聘者是否有相关工作经历或者不光彩的过去，故有着特别开放的用人政策（open-door employment policy），这是特别之处。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. (她花了四年时间开发了一种派皮饼干食谱，从此成为她生意的核心和基础。)”可知，迪根很执着（Persistent），花4年时间研发一个食谱；第五段中“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don't have anyexperience. And she became a second- chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. (迪根说，当她需要更多帮助时，她会找那些对工作充满热情的人，即使他们没有任何经验。在经历了自己的挣扎之后，她意识到工作的愿望比拥有某种技能更好。她成为了第二次机会的雇主，雇佣监狱或收容所的女性。)”可知，迪根善于接受（receptive）那些有缺点或能改过自新的人当员工。故选B项。 C Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology. The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor present on nociceptors (疼痛感受器) — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃. When activated, these cells trigger an instant alarm response, causing the body to react as if it’s been burned. This begs the question: why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger? The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the neural system. Initially, the brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat, triggering an alarm-like response. Through repeated exposure, however, it receives consistent feedback indicating no actual tissue damage occurs. The feeling is gradually reassessed as non-threatening and manageable, transforming the initial pain into a form of “benign masochism”. The perceived danger, once subjected to our control, becomes an integral part of the pleasure. Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate. So, what can you do if the spice becomes overwhelming? Since capsaicin is fat-soluble, water is ineffective because it only spreads the compound. Dairy products like milk or yogurt are far better solutions — the fat and protein in them combine with the capsaicin and carry it away. 8. What is the main idea of para. 2? A. The origin of what we perceive from peppers. B. The role of capsaicin as a plant’s defense mechanism. C. The mechanism of how capsaicin triggers a pain alarm. D. The reasons why we enjoy the feeling of potential danger. 9. What can be inferred about the enjoyment of spicy food? A. A false alarm is triggered upon encountering spiciness. B. Pleasure arises as a consequence of neural response. C. “Benign masochism” contributes to manageable pain. D. The pleasure brings about controllable damage. 10. Which experience is most similar to enjoying spicy food? A. Smoking cigarettes. B. Exploring the wild area. C. Watching a horror movie. D. Drinking a cup of black coffee. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Capsaicin’s Secret: A Harmless Fire Alarm. B. The Chili Lover’s Dilemma: Pleasure in Pain. C. The Science Behind the Spice: Love for the Burn. D. From Burn to Pleasure: Building Spice Tolerance. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们喜爱辣食背后的神经与心理机制、个体差异及应对辣感的方法。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor present on nociceptors (疼痛感受器) — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃. When activated, these cells trigger an instant alarm response, causing the body to react as if it’s been burned. This begs the question: why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger?(我们从辣椒中感受到的灼热感来源于辣椒素，这种化合物是植物的化学防御物质。它会特异性作用于TRPV1受体，该受体存在于疼痛感受器上——疼痛感受器是一类特殊神经细胞，负责感知高温（如 42℃以上的热度）等潜在有害刺激。当这些细胞被激活时，会立即触发警报反应，使身体做出如同被灼伤一般的应激表现。这不禁让人产生疑问：我们为何会偏爱这种传递潜在危险信号的感觉？)”可知，本段主要讲解辣椒素如何触发疼痛警报的机制。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the neural system. Initially, the brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat, triggering an alarm-like response. Through repeated exposure, however, it receives consistent feedback indicating no actual tissue damage occurs. The feeling is gradually reassessed as non-threatening and manageable, transforming the initial pain into a form of “benign masochism”. The perceived danger, once subjected to our control, becomes an integral part of the pleasure.(对辣味食物的喜爱是通过神经系统的适应后天习得的。起初，大脑会将辣椒素引发的灼热感误判为潜在威胁，从而触发类似警报的反应。然而，经过反复接触，大脑会收到持续的反馈：并未发生实际的组织损伤。这种感觉会被重新评估为无威胁、可承受的体验，最初的痛感也随之转变为一种“良性自虐”。当这种看似危险的感受处于我们的掌控之中时，它便成了愉悦感不可或缺的一部分。)”可知，喜爱吃辣是神经反应带来的愉悦感。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The perceived danger, once subjected to our control, becomes an integral part of the pleasure.(这种可被控制的、感知到的危险，成为愉悦感的重要组成部分。)”可知，看恐怖电影与享受辣味相似，都是在可控的危险中获得快感。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology.(吃辣食时流泪、出汗、流鼻涕等生理反应都是表现。然而，全世界数百万人却主动寻求这种灼烧感。解释不在于我们的味觉，而在于我们复杂的神经系统和心理学。)”以及后文内容可知，文章主要探讨了人们为何在经历辣食带来的“痛苦”时仍能感到愉悦，即辣食爱好者在“痛苦”中寻找乐趣的矛盾心理。故B项“The Chili Lover’s Dilemma: Pleasure in Pain.(辣食爱好者的困境：痛苦中的愉悦)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right. The study conducted by a research team found that people around the world could identify lullabies (摇篮曲), dance songs, and comforting songs — regardless of the songs’ cultural origin — after hearing just a 14-second clip (片段). The finding suggests that not only is music deeply rooted in human nature, but that some types of songs break cultural boundaries. The findings are based on a wide-reaching experiment in which 750 online participants in 60 countries listened to brief clips of songs collected from nearly 90 small societies around the world, including hunter-gatherers and some special farmers. Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love. Two additional uses — mourning (哀悼) the dead and telling a story — were included as controls. The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world. The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said. The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study. This time, they asked listeners about a number of contextual and musical features, ranging from the gender of the singers to the rhythm of the song. When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries. 12. What did the participants do in the first study? A. They distinguished functions of the songs. B. They identified the cultural origins of the songs. C. They recognized the non-musical characteristics of the songs. D. They sorted the songs according to the gender of the singers. 13. What does the underlined part “ran counter to” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Were equal to. B. Were similar to. C. Were superior to. D. Were opposite to. 14. Why did the researchers carry out the second study? A. To test the musical knowledge of a wider audience. B. To collect more diverse songs from various cultures. C. To confirm the surprising results from the first one. D. To explore the underlying reasons behind the findings. 15. What can we learn from the two studies? A. Listeners recognize music by its rhythm. B. Something about music might be universal. C. Dance music is usually slower and simpler. D. Cultural similarities lead to similar musical features. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了哈佛大学的一项新研究表明，尽管文化背景不同，但人们能识别出不同功能歌曲的共性，音乐可能有共性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love.(参与者随后回答了六个问题，根据他们认为歌曲是用于跳舞、安抚婴儿、治疗疾病还是表达爱意，对每个片段进行评分)”可知，在第一个研究中，参与者要区分歌曲的功能。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world.(数据显示，尽管参与者对这些文化并不熟悉，每首歌曲都是随机选取的，且样本持续时间很短，但人们仍能够可靠地推断出歌曲的功能，而且他们的评分在全球范围内是一致的)”、第五段中“The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said.(这一发现ran counter to专家们的预期。研究团队还询问了包括表演者、作曲家、心理学家和科学家在内的专业人士，他们是否认为人们能够识别出歌曲类型。他们的回答是否定的。不仅如此，他们还预测人们的回答会相互不一致。“这并非我们的发现，”研究人员说道)”可知，研究结果与专家预期相反，所以ran counter to意思是“与……相反”。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study.(研究人员还想知道听众是否通过歌曲的某些非音乐特征来识别。为了验证这一点，团队开展了第二项研究)”可知，研究人员进行第二项研究是为了探索研究结果背后的潜在原因。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right.(诗人、哈佛大学教授亨利·沃兹沃思·朗费罗曾说过一句名言：“音乐是人类通用的语言。”哈佛大学的一项新研究表明，他可能是对的)”以及最后一段中“When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries.(当两项研究的数据结合起来时，结果显示，功能相同的歌曲具有相似的特征——例如，摇篮曲往往比舞曲更慢、更简单——这表明音乐特征的一些方面跨越了文化界限)”可知，这两项研究告诉我们音乐的一些方面可能是普遍的。故选B。 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的7个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a radio presenter, I noticed that individuals often prefer music from their teens or early twenties. ____16____ Firstly, we tend to have a different good memory between the ages of about ten and thirty. ____17____ The second reason is that music is a powerful trigger for our emotions, which in turn sparks our memories.
