A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo (舒缓的节拍). “Exercise seems to cause good changes in the nerve system (神经系统) and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And Listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added. The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. The study has shown that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, relax or sleep better, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts. Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study shows that students who often exercise to Mozart’s music get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents may not allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to discuss it with them. 19. Who is the passage written for? A. Parents. B. Scientists. C. Students. D. Teachers. 20. How long have the scientists been studying the project of exercise to music? A. About 50 years. B. About 75 years. C. About 100 years. D. About 33 years. 21. What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A. Students shouldn’t listen to music before exams. B. We should follow our parents’ words all the time. C. Mozart’s music is the best music for students’ IQ tests. D. Music can probably help us get higher scores in exams. 22. What does the underlined word “enhance” in paragraph 3 mean? A. produce B. provide C. improve D. cause 23. The writing mainly tells us that ________. A. music and exercise lead to relaxation or sleep B. 33 volunteers work on music in medical fields C. exercising to music makes people healthy and bright D. scientists give suggestions on choosing music to exercise to (C) I looked around the ship, and then, I found some long pieces of wood. I made a raft (木筏) by tying them together with ropes. Then I got the things that I wanted from the ship. There was a big box of food. I also took many sharp knives and other tools, the ship’s sails and seven guns. There were some hills around me, so I decided to build myself a little house on one of them. After some time, I found a little cave (洞穴) in the side of a hill. In front of it, there was a good place to make a home. After a lot of hard work, I had a very fine tent. The cave at the back of my tent was a good place to keep my food, so I called it my “kitchen”. The next day I thought about the possible dangers on the island. So I built a very strong fence (篱笆). Making tents and building fences were hard. I needed many tools to help me. So I decided to go back to the ship again, and get some more things. I went back twelve times, but soon after my twelfth visit, there was another terrible storm. The next morning, when I looked out at the sea, there was no ship. When I saw that, I was very sad. “Why am I alive (活着), and why are all my friends dead?” I asked myself. “What will happen to me now, alone on this island without friends? How can I ever get away from here?” Then I told myself that I was lucky-lucky to be alive, lucky to have food and tools and lucky to be young and strong. I said to myself, “I’m going to be on this island for a long time.” So on a long piece of wood, I carved (雕刻) these words: I CAME HERE ON 30TH SEPTEMBER 1659. After that, I decided to carve the date each day. —Adapted from Robinson Crusoe 24. Robinson got a lot of things inside the ship except ________. A. guns B. food C. wood D. knives 25.

Because he wasn’t able to make a tent. D. Because the storm destroyed his house. 27. What is Robinson Crusoe like according to the extract (节选)? A. Patient and careful B. Honest but hopeless C.

I learned that small actions can make a big difference. For society, volunteering helps build a cleaner and friendlier community. It encourages more people to care for public spaces.
