That feeling is not just in your head—it is real and it has a name: “frisson”, a French word that means “a shiver of excitement”. Scientists have found that music can cause real physical changes in our bodies. When we listen to music that we enjoy, our brains release dopamine, a chemical that makes us feel pleasure and happiness. This is the same chemical that is released when we eat delicious food or spend time with people we love. Music also helps us connect with others. When people sing together or play instruments in a group, their heartbeats actually begin to beat at the same rhythm. This is one reason why music has been part of human culture for thousands of years—it brings people together in a way that words alone cannot. Perhaps the most amazing power of music is its ability to reach people who have lost their memories. Studies have shown that patients with Alzheimer’s disease can still remember and sing songs from their youth, even when they cannot remember their own family members. Music seems to be stored in a different part of the brain that is less affected by the disease. Whether you are a professional musician or just someone who enjoys listening to the radio, music has the power to change your mood, bring back memories, and connect you to others. As the great philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” 你是否曾听过一段让你浑身起鸡皮疙瘩的乐曲？这种感受并非你的错觉——它真实存在，还有专属名称：frisson，这是一个法语单词，意为“因激动产生的战栗、震颤”。 科学家发现，音乐能给我们的身体带来实实在在的生理变化。当聆听喜爱的乐曲时，大脑会分泌多巴胺，这种化学物质能带来愉悦与幸福感。我们享用美食、和挚爱相伴时，身体也会分泌同种物质。 音乐还能拉近人与人之间的距离。当人们一同合唱、合奏乐器，彼此的心跳节奏会渐渐趋于同步。这也是数千年来音乐始终是人类文化重要组成的原因之一：它拥有语言无法实现的凝聚力。 音乐最神奇的力量，或许是唤醒失忆人群。研究表明，阿尔茨海默病患者即便认不出亲人，依旧能记起并哼唱年轻时的歌曲。音乐似乎储存在大脑中受病症影响更小的区域。 无论你是专业音乐人，还是只是爱听广播的普通人，音乐都能改变情绪、唤醒回忆、搭建人与人之间的联结。正如伟大哲学家尼采所言：“没有音乐，人生将是一场缺憾。” 【长难句分析】 1. Have you ever listened to a piece of music that gave you chills? 你是否曾听过一段让你浑身起鸡皮疙瘩的乐曲？ that引导定语从句，修饰先行词music。 2. When we listen to music that we enjoy, our brains release dopamine, a chemical that makes us feel pleasure and happiness. 当聆听喜爱的乐曲时，大脑会分泌多巴胺，这种化学物质能带来愉悦与幸福感。 when引导时间状语从句；两处that引导定语从句；a chemical作dopamine同位语。 3. When people sing together or play instruments in a group, their heartbeats actually begin to beat at the same rhythm. 当人们一同合唱、合奏乐器，彼此的心跳节奏会渐渐趋于同步。 when引导时间状语从句，or连接并列谓语。 4. Studies have shown that patients with Alzheimer’s disease can still remember and sing songs from their youth, even when they cannot remember their own family members. 研究表明，阿尔茨海默病患者即便认不出亲人，依旧能记起并哼唱年轻时的歌曲。 that引导宾语从句；even when引导让步状语从句。 5. Whether you are a professional musician or just someone who enjoys listening to the radio, music has the power to change your mood, bring back memories, and connect you to others. 无论你是专业音乐人，还是只是爱听广播的普通人，音乐都能改变情绪、唤醒回忆、搭建人与人之间的联结。 whether引导让步状语从句；who引导定语从句修饰someone；三个不定式并列作后置定语。 【重难词汇梳理】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. frisson n. 激动带来的战栗 2. dopamine n. 多巴胺 3. rhythm n. 节奏，韵律 4. Alzheimer’s disease n. 阿尔茨海默病 5. philosopher n. 哲学家 6. give sb. chills 让某人浑身起鸡皮疙瘩 7. release dopamine 分泌多巴胺 8. connect with others 与他人建立联结 9. thousands of years 数千年 10. bring back memories 唤起回忆 Passage2 Most people enjoy listening to music. But when you ask your classmates what they like listening to, you are likely to get many different answers. Why do different people have different musical tastes? Do you know about the reasons? What do these differences say about us? Researchers set out to answer these questions. They surveyed 350,000 people from 50 different countries. Then, they detected some connections between musical tastes and personality. Outgoing people preferred music with a fast rhythm (节奏), such as rap. Country music lovers were shown to be more responsible. The researchers guessed worried people might like either sad music or rhythmic music. But it turned out that these people liked neither. Instead, they preferred loud and powerful music. The researchers also said that climate might influence people’s musical tastes and personality. People in warmer climate preferred rhythmic music. They were more outgoing. This might be a result of longer daylight hours and warmer evenings. They encouraged people to join in social activities. Of course, we might not divide people simply by their musical tastes. The study just showed us that people from different cultures are more similar than we think. “People are divided by languages and cultures,” said Dr. David Greenberg, “But if an outgoing person in one part of the world likes the same music as outgoing people elsewhere, then we can say that music is really like a powerful bridge.” 大多数人都喜欢听音乐。但如果你问同学们喜欢听什么类型的音乐，大概率会得到五花八门的答案。为什么人与人的音乐品味各不相同？你知道背后的原因吗？这些品味差异又能反映出我们自身的哪些特质？ 研究人员着手寻找这些问题的答案。他们对来自50个不同国家的35万人开展了问卷调查，并从中发现音乐品味和性格之间存在一定关联。性格外向的人偏爱节奏明快的音乐，比如说唱。喜爱乡村音乐的人往往更有责任心。研究人员原本猜测，内心焦虑的人会喜欢伤感乐曲或是节奏感强的音乐，但结果恰恰相反，这两类曲子他们都不喜欢，反倒偏爱激昂、有冲击力的音乐。 研究人员还提出，气候也会影响人们的音乐偏好与性格。生活在气候温暖地区的人更偏爱节奏强烈的乐曲，性格也更为外向。这或许是因为当地白昼更长、夜晚气候宜人，更便于人们参与各类社交活动。 当然，我们不能仅凭音乐品味简单地给人归类。这项研究只是证明，不同文化背景下的人类，共性远比我们想象的更多。戴维·格林伯格博士说：“语言和文化将人们分隔开来，但如果世界各地性格外向的人都喜爱同一种音乐，那足以说明音乐是一座强大的沟通桥梁。” 【长难句分析】 1.But when you ask your classmates what they like listening to, you are likely to get many different answers. 但如果你问同学们喜欢听什么音乐，你大概率会得到许多不一样的答案。 when引导时间状语从句；从句内what引导宾语从句作ask的宾语；固定搭配be likely to do 作主句谓语。 2.They surveyed 350,000 people from 50 different countries.

They were more outgoing. This might be a result of longer daylight hours and warmer evenings. 生活在温暖气候地区的人偏爱节奏乐曲，性格更外向，这或许是白昼更长、夜晚温暖带来的结果。 in warmer climate 介词短语后置修饰people；a result of 后接并列名词短语作介词宾语。 5.But if an outgoing person in one part of the world likes the same music as outgoing people elsewhere, then we can say that music is really like a powerful bridge. 但如果某地外向的人和别处外向的人喜欢同种音乐，我们就能说音乐确实是一座强大的桥梁。 if引导条件状语从句；the same…as 固定同级比较结构；say后that引导宾语从句。 【重难词汇梳理】 1. personality /ˌpɜːsəˈnæləti/ n. 性格，个性 2. rhythm /ˈrɪðəm/ n. 节奏 3. survey /ˈsɜːveɪ/ v. & n. 调查 4. climate /ˈklaɪmət/ n. 气候 5. powerful /ˈpaʊəfl/ adj. 强有力的，强劲的 6. be likely to 很可能…… 7. set out to do 着手、开始做某事 8. turn out that 结果是，证明是 9. divide…by… 根据……划分 10. a bridge 一座桥梁（喻指沟通纽带） Passage1 As an ancient country with a history of more than 5,000 years, China has hundreds of traditional musical instruments. These musical instruments interest Western people greatly. Here’re four to enjoy! Erhu is a Chinese folk instrument. It is sometimes known as the “Chinese violin” because it sounds like a violin. The Moon over a Fountain is one of the most famous pieces of erhu music. A blind man, Abing, created it according to a love story between a girl and himself. It’s amazing that in ancient times, guzheng was used to strike the enemies. Later, it was used as a kind of musical instrument. At first, it had five strings, then seven strings, and then a 13-string guzheng was developed. Now, it usually has 21 strings. Xun is one of the oldest Chinese musical instruments. It comes in different shapes. The most common one is egg-shaped. Each shape produces a different sound. It can be made of stone, jade (玉) and clay. The horse-head fiddle (马头琴) is a type of traditional musical instrument of the Mongolian ethnic group (蒙古族). There are two strings on the horse-head fiddle. Mongolians have played it for centuries. It is said that once a boy had a little white horse. He loved it very much. Unluckily, a bad man killed it. The boy finally made a musical instrument out of its body and carried it all the time. 1．How many strings did guzheng have when it was first invented? A．Five. B．Seven. C．Thirteen. D．Twenty-one. 2．Which of the following are mentioned about the instrument xun? ①The inventor.   ②The shape.   ③The material.   ④The famous piece. A．①② B．②③ C．①④ D．③④ 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Erhu is a Chinese musical instrument and it is the same as the violin. B．Guzheng was once used to make friends in ancient times. C．Xun of different shapes may produce different sounds. D．The horse-head fiddle was invented because of a love story. 4．How does the writer introduce the horse-head fiddle? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By giving an example. D．By listing a few numbers. 5．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the passage? A．Nature. B．Sports. C．Science. D．Culture. 1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍中国四种传统乐器：二胡、古筝、埙、马头琴，分别讲解每种乐器的特点、起源、相关传说与构造等信息。 【详解】1．根据第三段“At first, it had five strings”，古筝最初发明时有五根弦。 2．根据第四段“It comes in different shapes. The most common one is egg-shaped”可知提及外形②；再根据第四段“It can be made of stone, jade (玉) and clay”可知提及制作材料③；文中未介绍埙的发明者和知名曲目，因此是②③。 3．根据第四段“Each shape produces a different sound”，不同造型的埙会发出不同声响，故选项C表述正确。 4．根据最后一段“It is said that once a boy had a little white horse. He loved it very much. Unluckily, a bad man killed it. The boy finally made a musical instrument out of its body and carried it all the time.”，完整讲述白马遇害，男孩用白马躯体制作乐器的小故事来介绍马头琴，可知作者通过讲故事的方式介绍马头琴。 5．本文核心内容是介绍中国的传统乐器，属于传统文化范畴，因此最可能出现在报纸的文化板块。 Passage2 When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I preferred. They said to me, “David, the music you like listening to is a lot of noise.” At the same time, my father described the music that he liked as beautiful. As it turns out, they are not alone. As I grow older, I’ve often heard people of my age say, “Today’s music is terrible.” Many older people just don’t like new music. But why is that? The mere exposure effect (纯粹接触效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. The new songs and singers during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don’t have so much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favourites. According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music. But I think there is another reason for older people’s dislike of new music. Most new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some types of music began as a rebellion by young people against out-of-date ways of doing things. These types include punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. They naturally interest younger listeners. Do your parents dislike the music you like too? Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that. 1．Which of the following charts correctly shows “the mere exposure effect”? (Preference: 偏爱，Level of familiarity: 熟悉度) A． B． C． D． 2．Why do many older people dislike new music? ①Because the new music sounds terrible. ②Because they are afraid of noise. ③Because most new music is not written for them. ④Because they are not familiar with the new music. A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．②④ 3．Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “rebellion” in Paragraph 3? A．Purpose. B．Sense. C．Praise. D．Disagreement. 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．New music will become more popular with older people. B．Older people will try to listen to different kinds of new music. C．People will know it’s normal that older people dislike new music. D．More beautiful and simple songs will be written for older people. 5．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Why don’t Your Parents Like the Music You Like? B．What's the Real Meaning of the Mere Exposure Effect? C．When do Most Young People Stop Exploring New Music? D．How do Young People Like Different Types of New Music? 1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了为何父母不喜欢孩子的音乐：熟悉度效应（年少常听，年长不追新）及新音乐专为年轻人创作。 【详解】 1．文章第二段提到“The mere exposure effect (纯粹接触效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it.”，“纯粹接触效应”是指：熟悉度越高，偏好度越高，所以正确的图表应该是：横轴为“熟悉度”，纵轴为“偏好”，两者呈正相关（上升曲线）。选项A的图示符合。 2．第三段明确写道“Most new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people.”，大多数新音乐不是为他们写的，是为年轻人创作的。第二段提到“ According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music.”，年轻人到33岁后不再探索新音乐，所以对新音乐不熟悉，而“纯粹接触效应”表明人们偏好熟悉的事物。③④符合。 3．原文第三段提到“Some types of music began as a rebellion by young people against out-of-date ways of doing things.”，某些音乐类型起初是年轻人对过时做事方式的一种“反抗/叛逆”，rebellion意为“反抗/叛逆”，与disagreement（不认同/反对）意思最接近。 4．最后一段提到“Do your parents dislike the music you like too? Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that.”，读完这篇文章后，你会明白父母不喜欢你的音乐是很正常的，没什么问题。选项C“人们会知道老年人不喜欢新音乐是正常的”与原文完全吻合。 5．全文以作者自身经历开头，探讨“为什么父母不喜欢孩子听的音乐”，并从“纯粹接触效应”和“新音乐的目标受众”两个角度解释原因。最后一段点题：这很正常。选项A“为什么你的父母不喜欢你喜欢的音乐？”最准确，既点明了现象，也引出全文解释。 Passage3 The Wooden Drum Festival is an important event for the Wa people in Yunnan. It is named after the wooden drum, a special musical instrument. 1 The wooden drums are the most important part of the festival. They are not just musical instruments but also carry deep cultural meanings. The Wa people believe the drums connect them with their ancestors and nature. 2 They are about 0.8 meters wide and 2 meters long. 3 They dance in a circle, moving to the strong beat of the drums to express their wishes for a happy life and good luck. When dancing, they sing songs which are about the Wa people’s history and daily life. 4 It also helps keep their culture alive. Besides dancing, there are also sports games and traditional opera shows. The Wa people mainly live in two areas in Yunnan: Ximeng Wa Autonomous County (自治县) and Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County. The festival usually lasts three days. In the past, the Wa people celebrated the festival in the “Grey Month” of the Wa calendar. 5 . This change allows more people to learn about the Wa culture. The Wooden Drum Festival brings all the Wa people together. It also offers visitors a great chance to learn about their culture. A．So the dance is not just for fun. B．The drums are usually made of red wood. C．Many Wa people play the wooden drum at the festival. D．The festival shows their history, traditions, and rich culture. E．It is a good opportunity for young people to make new friends. F．People come together around the drum house during the festival. G．But since 2002, they have changed the date to April 10th to 12th. 1．D 2．B 3．F 4．A 5．G 【导语】本文介绍了云南佤族的木鼓节，涵盖节日的核心元素、活动及文化意义。 1．根据“The Wooden Drum Festival is an important event…It is named after the wooden drum”可知，这里补充“木鼓节展示佤族的历史、传统与文化”的核心定位。D选项“这个节日展示了他们的历史、传统和丰富的文化”契合节日的文化属性。故选D。 2．根据“They are about 0.8 meters wide and 2 meters long”可知，这里介绍木鼓的制作材料。B选项“这些鼓通常由红木制成”匹配对木鼓的细节描述。故选B。 3．根据“They dance in a circle…to express their wishes for a happy life and good luck”可知，这里补充节日里人们围绕鼓房聚集的场景。F选项“节日期间，人们聚集在鼓房周围”衔接“集体舞蹈”的活动描述。故选F。 4．根据“When dancing, they sing songs which are about the Wa people's history and daily life…It also helps keep their culture alive”可知，这里说明舞蹈不仅是娱乐。A选项“所以这种舞蹈不只是为了娱乐”衔接“传承文化”的深层意义。故选A。 5．根据“In the past, the Wa people celebrated the festival in the ‘Grey Month’…This change allows more people to learn about the Wa culture”可知，这里介绍节日日期的变化。G选项“但自2002年起，他们将日期改为4月10日至12日”匹配“日期变更”的描述。故选G。 Passage4 Do you have the experience that you are having a test but the melody (旋律) of “APT, APT…” remains in your head out of control? Although the songs aren’t played now, they can’t get out of your brain. They are known as earworms. An earworm can be kept in your head after you listen to the music. But it can also happen if something brings back a memory of the song, like visiting the place where you first heard it. 1 That’s why it is seen as a common thing. Why do we get earworms? 2 They have been doing some research into what makes a particular part of music so catchy. A catchy piece of music means it is very easy to learn, and can be kept in your brain for a long period. They’ve also learned that most earworms have melodies that are easy to remember. What would cause the human brain to repeat the same song at the very beginning? 3 But long ago, before people used writing to communicate, we passed along information through songs. So, we may have developed ways to keep music in our head in order to remember valuable information. Whatever the reason, when a song can’t get out of your brain, it can be unpleasant! 4 You can listen to another song or try to do something else, or tell others about your earworm which can change the way your brain forms memories of music. 5 Then perhaps you should just sit back and try to enjoy the earworm! A．This is still a mystery. B．There is a song in your mind. C．What if none of these ways work? D．Artists make use of it to make up songs. E．Scientists have studied earworms for years. F．Luckily, there may be some ways to avoid an earworm. G．A study shows that 90 percent of people experience earworms. 1．G 2．E 3．A 4．F 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了“耳虫”现象，即听完音乐后旋律在脑海中挥之不去的情况。文章探讨了耳虫产生的原因，包括音乐本身的吸引力和人类大脑的记忆机制，并提供了应对耳虫的一些方法。 【详解】 1．根据前文“An earworm can be kept in your head after you listen to the music. But it can also happen if something brings back a memory of the song, like visiting the place where you first heard it.”可知，耳虫现象可以在听完音乐后留在脑海中，也可能因为某些事物唤起对歌曲的记忆而发生。后文“That’s why it is seen as a common thing.”说明这是一个普遍现象。选项G“一项研究表明，90%的人都有过耳虫现象。”符合语境，解释了为什么这是一个普遍现象，故选G。 2．根据后文“They have been doing some research into what makes a particular part of music so catchy.”可知，他们一直在研究是什么让音乐的某一部分如此吸引人。由此推知，空格处应说明是谁在进行这项研究。选项E“科学家们已经研究耳虫现象多年了。”符合语境，故选E。 3．根据前文“What would cause the human brain to repeat the same song at the very beginning?”可知，此处在询问是什么导致人类大脑一开始就重复同一首歌。后文“But long ago, before people used writing to communicate, we passed along information through songs.”通过转折说明很久以前人们通过歌曲传递信息，但并未直接回答前文的问题。选项A“这仍然是一个谜。”符合语境，说明这个问题至今仍未有明确答案，故选A。 4．根据后文“You can listen to another song or try to do something else, or tell others about your earworm which can change the way your brain forms memories of music.”可知，你可以听另一首歌，或者尝试做其他事情，或者告诉别人你的耳虫，这可以改变你的大脑形成音乐记忆的方式。由此推知，空格处应说明有一些方法可以避免耳虫。选项F“幸运的是，可能有一些方法可以避免耳虫。”符合语境，故选F。 5．根据前文“You can listen to another song or try to do something else, or tell others about your earworm which can change the way your brain forms memories of music.”可知，前文提供了一些避免耳虫的方法。后文“Then perhaps you should just sit back and try to enjoy the earworm!”说明如果前面的方法都不奏效，那么就应该享受耳虫。选项C“如果这些方法都不起作用呢？”符合语境，起到了承上启下的作用，故选C。 Passage5 The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala was broadcast around the world on Chinese New Year’s Eve. One wonderful cultural show was called Ode to the Flower Gods (贺花神). It got its idea from the White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants (白玉十二生肖挂件) in the Palace Museum. The show beautifully mixes twelve months, twelve flowers, and twelve famous historical figures into one poetic program. It shows the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and tells us how flowers can stand for great qualities and valuable ideas. The show is special because each flower is matched with a person who has a similar spirit. Among them are seven great writers, such as Lin Bu, Lu You, Zhou Dunyi, Xu Wei, Tao Yuanming, Li Qingzhao and Bai Juyi. Their good qualities are just like the meanings of plum blossoms (梅花), apricot blossoms (杏花), lotuses (荷花), hollyhocks (蜀葵), chrysanthemums (菊花), sweet osmanthus (桂花) and camellias (山茶花). The show also includes four famous women: Xi Furen, Yang Yuhuan, Wang Zhaojun and LuoShen. They are connected with peach blossoms, peonies, cotton roses and daffodils. Zhang Qian, who brought pomegranates (石榴) to China, shows the brave spirit of the pomegranate flower. In this way, the show changes the old idea that only women can be flower gods. It fully shows the traditional Chinese idea of “finding virtues in flowers”. With the help of advanced AIGC technology, the show brings real performers and digital pictures together perfectly. On the stage, the twelve jade pendants finally form a full circle, which stands for the cycle of time and the beauty of harmony. Ode to the Flower Gods is more than a great artistic show; it helps people feel closer to their own culture through lively symbols. It keeps traditional culture alive in the digital age and shows the spirit of Chinese civilization with soft but strong cultural confidence. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．The history of flowers in Chinese culture. B．A special cultural show at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. C．Famous historical figures in Chinese history. D．The development of AIGC technology. 2．Where did the show Ode to the Flower Gods get its inspiration from? A．Ancient Chinese poems about flowers. B．Stories of great female writers. C．The White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants in the Palace Museum. D．Traditional Chinese paintings of flowers. 3．What plays a key role in the performance according to paragraph 3? A．Traditional stage settings B．Ancient jade collections C．Live audiences’ participation D．Advanced AIGC technology 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．All the flower gods in the show are female. B．The show uses AIGC technology to mix real acting and digital scenes. C．The twelve jade pendants stand for different seasons of a year.

That feeling is not just in your head—it is real and it has a name: “frisson”, a French word that means “a shiver of excitement”. Scientists have found that music can cause real physical changes in our bodies. When we listen to music that we enjoy, our brains release dopamine, a chemical that makes us feel pleasure and happiness. This is the same chemical that is released when we eat delicious food or spend time with people we love. Music also helps us connect with others. When people sing together or play instruments in a group, their heartbeats actually begin to beat at the same rhythm. This is one reason why music has been part of human culture for thousands of years—it brings people together in a way that words alone cannot. Perhaps the most amazing power of music is its ability to reach people who have lost their memories. Studies have shown that patients with Alzheimer’s disease can still remember and sing songs from their youth, even when they cannot remember their own family members. Music seems to be stored in a different part of the brain that is less affected by the disease. Whether you are a professional musician or just someone who enjoys listening to the radio, music has the power to change your mood, bring back memories, and connect you to others. As the great philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” 你是否曾听过一段让你浑身起鸡皮疙瘩的乐曲？这种感受并非你的错觉——它真实存在，还有专属名称：frisson，这是一个法语单词，意为“因激动产生的战栗、震颤”。 科学家发现，音乐能给我们的身体带来实实在在的生理变化。当聆听喜爱的乐曲时，大脑会分泌多巴胺，这种化学物质能带来愉悦与幸福感。我们享用美食、和挚爱相伴时，身体也会分泌同种物质。 音乐还能拉近人与人之间的距离。当人们一同合唱、合奏乐器，彼此的心跳节奏会渐渐趋于同步。这也是数千年来音乐始终是人类文化重要组成的原因之一：它拥有语言无法实现的凝聚力。 音乐最神奇的力量，或许是唤醒失忆人群。研究表明，阿尔茨海默病患者即便认不出亲人，依旧能记起并哼唱年轻时的歌曲。音乐似乎储存在大脑中受病症影响更小的区域。 无论你是专业音乐人，还是只是爱听广播的普通人，音乐都能改变情绪、唤醒回忆、搭建人与人之间的联结。正如伟大哲学家尼采所言：“没有音乐，人生将是一场缺憾。” 【长难句分析】 1. Have you ever listened to a piece of music that gave you chills? 你是否曾听过一段让你浑身起鸡皮疙瘩的乐曲？ that引导定语从句，修饰先行词music。 2. When we listen to music that we enjoy, our brains release dopamine, a chemical that makes us feel pleasure and happiness. 当聆听喜爱的乐曲时，大脑会分泌多巴胺，这种化学物质能带来愉悦与幸福感。 when引导时间状语从句；两处that引导定语从句；a chemical作dopamine同位语。 3. When people sing together or play instruments in a group, their heartbeats actually begin to beat at the same rhythm. 当人们一同合唱、合奏乐器，彼此的心跳节奏会渐渐趋于同步。 when引导时间状语从句，or连接并列谓语。 4. Studies have shown that patients with Alzheimer’s disease can still remember and sing songs from their youth, even when they cannot remember their own family members. 研究表明，阿尔茨海默病患者即便认不出亲人，依旧能记起并哼唱年轻时的歌曲。 that引导宾语从句；even when引导让步状语从句。 5. Whether you are a professional musician or just someone who enjoys listening to the radio, music has the power to change your mood, bring back memories, and connect you to others. 无论你是专业音乐人，还是只是爱听广播的普通人，音乐都能改变情绪、唤醒回忆、搭建人与人之间的联结。 whether引导让步状语从句；who引导定语从句修饰someone；三个不定式并列作后置定语。 【重难词汇梳理】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. frisson n. 激动带来的战栗 2. dopamine n. 多巴胺 3. rhythm n. 节奏，韵律 4. Alzheimer’s disease n. 阿尔茨海默病 5. philosopher n. 哲学家 6. give sb. chills 让某人浑身起鸡皮疙瘩 7. release dopamine 分泌多巴胺 8. connect with others 与他人建立联结 9. thousands of years 数千年 10. bring back memories 唤起回忆 Passage2 Most people enjoy listening to music. But when you ask your classmates what they like listening to, you are likely to get many different answers. Why do different people have different musical tastes? Do you know about the reasons? What do these differences say about us? Researchers set out to answer these questions. They surveyed 350,000 people from 50 different countries. Then, they detected some connections between musical tastes and personality. Outgoing people preferred music with a fast rhythm (节奏), such as rap. Country music lovers were shown to be more responsible. The researchers guessed worried people might like either sad music or rhythmic music. But it turned out that these people liked neither. Instead, they preferred loud and powerful music. The researchers also said that climate might influence people’s musical tastes and personality. People in warmer climate preferred rhythmic music. They were more outgoing. This might be a result of longer daylight hours and warmer evenings. They encouraged people to join in social activities. Of course, we might not divide people simply by their musical tastes. The study just showed us that people from different cultures are more similar than we think. “People are divided by languages and cultures,” said Dr. David Greenberg, “But if an outgoing person in one part of the world likes the same music as outgoing people elsewhere, then we can say that music is really like a powerful bridge.” 大多数人都喜欢听音乐。但如果你问同学们喜欢听什么类型的音乐，大概率会得到五花八门的答案。为什么人与人的音乐品味各不相同？你知道背后的原因吗？这些品味差异又能反映出我们自身的哪些特质？ 研究人员着手寻找这些问题的答案。他们对来自50个不同国家的35万人开展了问卷调查，并从中发现音乐品味和性格之间存在一定关联。性格外向的人偏爱节奏明快的音乐，比如说唱。喜爱乡村音乐的人往往更有责任心。研究人员原本猜测，内心焦虑的人会喜欢伤感乐曲或是节奏感强的音乐，但结果恰恰相反，这两类曲子他们都不喜欢，反倒偏爱激昂、有冲击力的音乐。 研究人员还提出，气候也会影响人们的音乐偏好与性格。生活在气候温暖地区的人更偏爱节奏强烈的乐曲，性格也更为外向。这或许是因为当地白昼更长、夜晚气候宜人，更便于人们参与各类社交活动。 当然，我们不能仅凭音乐品味简单地给人归类。这项研究只是证明，不同文化背景下的人类，共性远比我们想象的更多。戴维·格林伯格博士说：“语言和文化将人们分隔开来，但如果世界各地性格外向的人都喜爱同一种音乐，那足以说明音乐是一座强大的沟通桥梁。” 【长难句分析】 1.But when you ask your classmates what they like listening to, you are likely to get many different answers. 但如果你问同学们喜欢听什么音乐，你大概率会得到许多不一样的答案。 when引导时间状语从句；从句内what引导宾语从句作ask的宾语；固定搭配be likely to do 作主句谓语。 2.They surveyed 350,000 people from 50 different countries.

These musical instruments interest Western people greatly. Here’re four to enjoy! Erhu is a Chinese folk instrument. It is sometimes known as the “Chinese violin” because it sounds like a violin. The Moon over a Fountain is one of the most famous pieces of erhu music. A blind man, Abing, created it according to a love story between a girl and himself. It’s amazing that in ancient times, guzheng was used to strike the enemies. Later, it was used as a kind of musical instrument. At first, it had five strings, then seven strings, and then a 13-string guzheng was developed. Now, it usually has 21 strings. Xun is one of the oldest Chinese musical instruments. It comes in different shapes. The most common one is egg-shaped. Each shape produces a different sound. It can be made of stone, jade (玉) and clay. The horse-head fiddle (马头琴) is a type of traditional musical instrument of the Mongolian ethnic group (蒙古族). There are two strings on the horse-head fiddle. Mongolians have played it for centuries. It is said that once a boy had a little white horse. He loved it very much. Unluckily, a bad man killed it. The boy finally made a musical instrument out of its body and carried it all the time. 1．How many strings did guzheng have when it was first invented? A．Five. B．Seven. C．Thirteen. D．Twenty-one. 2．Which of the following are mentioned about the instrument xun? ①The inventor.   ②The shape.   ③The material.   ④The famous piece. A．①② B．②③ C．①④ D．③④ 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Erhu is a Chinese musical instrument and it is the same as the violin. B．Guzheng was once used to make friends in ancient times. C．Xun of different shapes may produce different sounds. D．The horse-head fiddle was invented because of a love story. 4．How does the writer introduce the horse-head fiddle? A．By telling a story. B．By using a saying. C．By giving an example. D．By listing a few numbers. 5．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the passage? A．Nature. B．Sports. C．Science. D．Culture. Passage2 When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I preferred. They said to me, “David, the music you like listening to is a lot of noise.” At the same time, my father described the music that he liked as beautiful. As it turns out, they are not alone. As I grow older, I’ve often heard people of my age say, “Today’s music is terrible.” Many older people just don’t like new music. But why is that? The mere exposure effect (纯粹接触效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. The new songs and singers during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don’t have so much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favourites. According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music. But I think there is another reason for older people’s dislike of new music. Most new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some types of music began as a rebellion by young people against out-of-date ways of doing things. These types include punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. They naturally interest younger listeners. Do your parents dislike the music you like too? Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that. 1．Which of the following charts correctly shows “the mere exposure effect”? (Preference: 偏爱，Level of familiarity: 熟悉度) A． B． C． D． 2．Why do many older people dislike new music? ①Because the new music sounds terrible. ②Because they are afraid of noise. ③Because most new music is not written for them. ④Because they are not familiar with the new music. A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．②④ 3．Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “rebellion” in Paragraph 3? A．Purpose. B．Sense. C．Praise. D．Disagreement. 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．New music will become more popular with older people. B．Older people will try to listen to different kinds of new music. C．People will know it’s normal that older people dislike new music. D．More beautiful and simple songs will be written for older people. 5．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Why don’t Your Parents Like the Music You Like? B．What's the Real Meaning of the Mere Exposure Effect? C．When do Most Young People Stop Exploring New Music? D．How do Young People Like Different Types of New Music? Passage3 The Wooden Drum Festival is an important event for the Wa people in Yunnan. It is named after the wooden drum, a special musical instrument. 1 The wooden drums are the most important part of the festival. They are not just musical instruments but also carry deep cultural meanings. The Wa people believe the drums connect them with their ancestors and nature. 2 They are about 0.8 meters wide and 2 meters long. 3 They dance in a circle, moving to the strong beat of the drums to express their wishes for a happy life and good luck. When dancing, they sing songs which are about the Wa people’s history and daily life. 4 It also helps keep their culture alive. Besides dancing, there are also sports games and traditional opera shows. The Wa people mainly live in two areas in Yunnan: Ximeng Wa Autonomous County (自治县) and Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County. The festival usually lasts three days. In the past, the Wa people celebrated the festival in the “Grey Month” of the Wa calendar. 5 . This change allows more people to learn about the Wa culture. The Wooden Drum Festival brings all the Wa people together. It also offers visitors a great chance to learn about their culture. A．So the dance is not just for fun. B．The drums are usually made of red wood. C．Many Wa people play the wooden drum at the festival. D．The festival shows their history, traditions, and rich culture. E．It is a good opportunity for young people to make new friends. F．People come together around the drum house during the festival. G．But since 2002, they have changed the date to April 10th to 12th. Passage4 Do you have the experience that you are having a test but the melody (旋律) of “APT, APT…” remains in your head out of control? Although the songs aren’t played now, they can’t get out of your brain. They are known as earworms. An earworm can be kept in your head after you listen to the music. But it can also happen if something brings back a memory of the song, like visiting the place where you first heard it. 1 That’s why it is seen as a common thing. Why do we get earworms? 2 They have been doing some research into what makes a particular part of music so catchy. A catchy piece of music means it is very easy to learn, and can be kept in your brain for a long period. They’ve also learned that most earworms have melodies that are easy to remember. What would cause the human brain to repeat the same song at the very beginning? 3 But long ago, before people used writing to communicate, we passed along information through songs. So, we may have developed ways to keep music in our head in order to remember valuable information. Whatever the reason, when a song can’t get out of your brain, it can be unpleasant! 4 You can listen to another song or try to do something else, or tell others about your earworm which can change the way your brain forms memories of music. 5 Then perhaps you should just sit back and try to enjoy the earworm! A．This is still a mystery. B．There is a song in your mind. C．What if none of these ways work? D．Artists make use of it to make up songs. E．Scientists have studied earworms for years. F．Luckily, there may be some ways to avoid an earworm. G．A study shows that 90 percent of people experience earworms. Passage5 The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala was broadcast around the world on Chinese New Year’s Eve. One wonderful cultural show was called Ode to the Flower Gods (贺花神). It got its idea from the White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants (白玉十二生肖挂件) in the Palace Museum. The show beautifully mixes twelve months, twelve flowers, and twelve famous historical figures into one poetic program. It shows the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and tells us how flowers can stand for great qualities and valuable ideas. The show is special because each flower is matched with a person who has a similar spirit. Among them are seven great writers, such as Lin Bu, Lu You, Zhou Dunyi, Xu Wei, Tao Yuanming, Li Qingzhao and Bai Juyi. Their good qualities are just like the meanings of plum blossoms (梅花), apricot blossoms (杏花), lotuses (荷花), hollyhocks (蜀葵), chrysanthemums (菊花), sweet osmanthus (桂花) and camellias (山茶花). The show also includes four famous women: Xi Furen, Yang Yuhuan, Wang Zhaojun and LuoShen. They are connected with peach blossoms, peonies, cotton roses and daffodils. Zhang Qian, who brought pomegranates (石榴) to China, shows the brave spirit of the pomegranate flower. In this way, the show changes the old idea that only women can be flower gods. It fully shows the traditional Chinese idea of “finding virtues in flowers”. With the help of advanced AIGC technology, the show brings real performers and digital pictures together perfectly. On the stage, the twelve jade pendants finally form a full circle, which stands for the cycle of time and the beauty of harmony. Ode to the Flower Gods is more than a great artistic show; it helps people feel closer to their own culture through lively symbols. It keeps traditional culture alive in the digital age and shows the spirit of Chinese civilization with soft but strong cultural confidence. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．The history of flowers in Chinese culture. B．A special cultural show at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. C．Famous historical figures in Chinese history. D．The development of AIGC technology. 2．Where did the show Ode to the Flower Gods get its inspiration from? A．Ancient Chinese poems about flowers. B．Stories of great female writers.
