It can change how we feel and make us happy, calm, or even energetic. A recent study found that people’s music choices often depend on their moods. When feeling stressed, most people prefer smooth music. For example, classical music by composers like Mozart or Beethoven helps lower heart rate and reduce anxiety. “I listen to piano music every night after work,” said Lisa, a 32-year-old teacher. “It makes me forget the day’s tiredness and helps me sleep better.” On the other hand, when people want to stay active, they often choose upbeat music. Pop or rock music with fast rhythms works well for this. Students often listen to such music while doing homework or exercising. “I put on my favorite pop songs when I need to finish a tough project,” said Tom, a high school student. “The music keeps me focused and motivated.” However, some people stick to one type of music no matter their mood. “I love jazz more than any other music,” said Mike, a college student. “Even when I’m sad, jazz makes me feel better because it has such rich and deep sounds.” The study also showed that music not only affects our mood but also connects people. Sharing favorite songs with friends or family can bring them closer. So next time you’re in a certain mood, try picking a song that fits—it might just make your day better! 1．Why does Lisa listen to piano music every night? A．It helps her stay active and energetic. B．It makes her forget tiredness and sleep better. C．It keeps her focused on her work. D．It reminds her of her friends and family. 2．What does the underlined word “upbeat” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Slow and calm. B．Fast and cheerful. C．Sad and moving. D．Quiet and soft. 3．Which of the following can be inferred (推断) from the passage? A．Jazz music is only popular among college students. B．Music has no effect on people who stick to one music type. C．Sharing music can help improve relationships. D．Upbeat music is not suitable for people who are sad. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Different people like different kinds of music. B．Music can influence people’s moods and bring people together. C．Classical music is the best choice for people who are stressed. D．Students should listen to music while doing homework. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文介绍音乐在日常生活中的重要作用，研究表明人们会根据情绪选择不同曲风的音乐，舒缓音乐缓解压力，快节奏音乐让人充满活力，同时音乐还能拉近人与人之间的距离。 1．根据第二段Lisa所说的话“It makes me forget the day's tiredness and helps me sleep better.”可知，她每晚听钢琴音乐的原因是为了放松和助眠。 2．根据第三段上下文“when people want to stay active... Pop or rock music with fast rhythms works well for this.”可知，“upbeat”音乐与活跃、快节奏相关，意为“欢快且节奏快的”。 3．根据最后一段“Sharing favorite songs with friends or family can bring them closer.”可推断，分享音乐有助于改善人际关系。 4．文章前四段主要讲述了音乐对不同人情绪的影响（如放松、活跃、振作），最后一段提到音乐能连接人们（bring them closer）。选项B“音乐可以影响人们的情绪并把人们联系在一起”最能概括全文主旨。 （25-26九年级上·安徽芜湖·期末）①Zhao Cong, the Pipa Goddess, is famous for her Chinese folk 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.” 1．How does the writer develop Paragraph 1? A．By asking questions. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By telling the truth. 2．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．The researchers. B．Outgoing people. C．Worried people. D．Music lovers. 3．Who might be interested in loud music? A．A lively basketball player from South Africa. B．An outgoing businessman from Switzerland. C．A worried mother from North China. D．A patient clerk from Colombia. 4．Why can music be considered as a powerful bridge for all people? A．Because people from different countries build a bridge to music. B．Because people from different cultures have different tastes of music. C．Because people with different personality prefer the same taste of music. D．Because music is a good way of communication between people with similar personality. 5．What is this passage mainly about? A．The ways to be an outgoing person. B．A study about different kinds of music. C．A survey about how to show your feelings. D．The musical tastes between different people. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章主要通过一项大规模调查，探讨了音乐品味与个性、气候之间的关系，并指出音乐可以作为连接不同文化背景但性格相似的人们的桥梁。 1．第一段通过一连串问题“Why do different people have different musical tastes? Do you know about the reasons? What do these differences say about us?”引入话题。 2．第二段中提到“The researchers guessed worried people might like either sad music or rhythmic music. But it turned out that these people liked neither.”，这里的“they”指代“worried people” (焦虑的人们)。 3．第二段提到焦虑的人喜欢“loud and powerful music”，选项中C“一位来自中国北方的焦虑母亲”符合这一描述。 4．最后一段中提到“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.”，说明音乐是相似性格的人之间的沟通桥梁。 5．全文围绕“不同人的音乐品味及其与性格的关系”展开，选项D正确。A“成为外向者的方法”；B“关于不同种类音乐的研究”；C“关于如何表达感受的调查”，均不准确。 （25-26九年级上·山东临沂·期末）Want to know what your friends are really like? Take a look at their music playlist. More than 36,000 people, from all over the world, took part in an experiment (实验). It compared their personalities with how much they liked different musical styles. The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here’s what certain musical styles say about who you are. Rock Like the sound of loud guitars and heavy drum beats? This type of music sounds very exciting, but fans of it are often quite gentle. Country music If cowboy hats and guitars get you singing along, it’s possible that you’ re hard-working, preferring traditional styles and values. Jazz Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning. If you like the saxophone of John Coltrane, then you’ re probably self-confident and easy to get on with. Classical music If Beethoven and Mozart have you turning up the music, you’ re probably quiet, but happy with who you are and comfortable with the world around you. But the experiment didn’t tell the whole story: where we grow up, who we often go out with, and our personal experiences play into our taste, too. The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. But no matter what style you like, music is for everyone.

The slow and emotional beats of the song help deal with the pain of heartbreak and loss. ②There is no doubt that music can calm you down, and it turns out that it can also be a medicine for treating physical pain. According to a new study, listening to favorite songs can reduce people’s feelings of pain, and the sad songs are the most useful. ③Researchers invited 63 adults to bring two songs. One was their favorite, and the other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island. Then the researchers also had the adults pick one of the seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the adults. ④In one group, each person was asked to look at a screen while listening to their favorite songs, one relaxing chosen song, or a mixture of their own two songs and the relaxing chosen song. The other group had people sitting in silence. At the same time, the researchers put a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the skin — on the participants’ (参与者) left arms. ⑤When rating (评价) their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with listening to the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. Mixed music seemed more like a way to distract (使分心) people from unpleasant experiences instead of reducing pain. After interviewing the participants about the songs they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found that people who listened to sad songs felt less pain than those who listened to cheerful songs. ⑥Still, there is nothing wrong with picking a cheerful song if that is your favorite. After all, music provides many other health benefits, including stress reduction and a good night’s sleep. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By comparing differences. C．By giving an example. D．By raising questions. 2．What can we know about the study? Check and choose the right answer. ①Participants listened to two favorite songs. ②A hot object was placed on the participants’ arms. ③Participants brought two songs, but only one of them was their favorite. ④More than seventy participants took part in the study. ⑤Participants shared their ratings of pain with researchers. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．②③⑤ D．③④⑤ 3．Which paragraph shows the result of the study? A．Paragraph 6. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. D．Paragraph 5 4．Which of the following is an OPINION, not a FACT? A．Adele’s song Someone Like You is popular with millions of people. B．Music can calm people down. C．Sad songs are the best kind of music for dealing with pain. D．The researchers invited 63 adults to join in the study. 5．What is the best title for this passage? A．Sad Songs, Less Pain B．Quiet Music, Lower Pressure C．Old Research, New Discoveries D．Different Songs, Different Feelings 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文以阿黛尔的歌曲举例引出话题，介绍一项科学研究：聆听喜爱的歌曲能缓解身体疼痛，其中伤感歌曲的镇痛效果优于欢快歌曲，文末补充音乐还有其他健康益处。 1．原文第一段提到“When Adele published her single Someone Like You, this moving song was popular with millions of people.”，作者借助阿黛尔歌曲的实例引入音乐可缓解伤痛的话题，是通过举例引出主题。 2．原文第三段提到“Researchers invited 63 adults to bring two songs. One was their favorite, and the other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island.”，由此可知每位参与者可带两首歌，但是只带一首最喜欢的歌，③正确、①错误；原文第四段提到“the researchers put a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the skin — on the participants’ left arms.”，②正确；原文第五段提到“When rating (评价) their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain”以及“After interviewing the participants about the songs they brought and their rating of pain”，⑤正确；原文第三段“Researchers invited 63 adults”，参与人数是63人，④错误，综上②③⑤正确。 3．原文第五段提到“When rating (评价) their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs...the researchers found that people who listened to sad songs felt less pain than those who listened to cheerful songs.”，本段罗列不同听歌组别痛感数据、悲伤与欢快歌曲的镇痛区别，为实验研究结果。 4．原文第一段“When Adele published her single Someone Like You, this moving song was popular with millions of people.”是客观事实，A为事实；原文第二段“There is no doubt that music can calm you down”是客观表述，B为事实；原文第三段“Researchers invited 63 adults to bring two songs.”是客观数据，D为事实。 5．原文第二段提到“listening to favorite songs can reduce people’s feelings of pain, and the sad songs are the most useful.”，第五段提到“people who listened to sad songs felt less pain than those who listened to cheerful songs.”，全文围绕悲伤歌曲减轻疼痛展开，因此最佳标题是Sad Songs, Less Pain。 （25-26九年级下·江西南昌·阶段检测）Music is changing fast with new technology and culture.

It can change how we feel and make us happy, calm, or even energetic. A recent study found that people’s music choices often depend on their moods. When feeling stressed, most people prefer smooth music. For example, classical music by composers like Mozart or Beethoven helps lower heart rate and reduce anxiety. “I listen to piano music every night after work,” said Lisa, a 32-year-old teacher. “It makes me forget the day’s tiredness and helps me sleep better.” On the other hand, when people want to stay active, they often choose upbeat music. Pop or rock music with fast rhythms works well for this. Students often listen to such music while doing homework or exercising. “I put on my favorite pop songs when I need to finish a tough project,” said Tom, a high school student. “The music keeps me focused and motivated.” However, some people stick to one type of music no matter their mood. “I love jazz more than any other music,” said Mike, a college student. “Even when I’m sad, jazz makes me feel better because it has such rich and deep sounds.” The study also showed that music not only affects our mood but also connects people. Sharing favorite songs with friends or family can bring them closer. So next time you’re in a certain mood, try picking a song that fits—it might just make your day better! 1．Why does Lisa listen to piano music every night? A．It helps her stay active and energetic.

Through years of hard work, she keeps finding new ways to make music and works with musicians worldwide. Therefore, Chinese folk music reaches more people and helps different cultures connect. ②Zhao started to learn the pipa from her mother when she was six. At first, she practiced six hours every day, and then she made her practice time longer—ten hours—to give herself a bigger challenge. ③When she grew up, her talent for music and hard work helped her create her own style. This push made her want to do more than just perform. After she finished studying, she published (发行) her first collection of songs which had a new mix of the pipa and the guitar, starting her journey in making her own music. This change was important because it gave her more freedom for her work that came later. ④Zhao and the China National Traditional Orchestra (乐团) visited countries in Europe. Their goal was to make people enjoy traditional Chinese music and culture. Zhao noticed that foreigners used to think Chinese music was “quiet, traditional and beautiful”, but they have been happily surprised by lively, fun pieces. ⑤All in all, Zhao bravely uses new ways to mix the pipa with many kinds of instruments, giving a new look to traditional Chinese folk 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.” 1．How does the writer develop Paragraph 1? A．By asking questions. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By telling the truth. 2．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．The researchers. B．Outgoing people. C．Worried people.

D．A patient clerk from Colombia. 4．Why can music be considered as a powerful bridge for all people? A．Because people from different countries build a bridge to music. B．Because people from different cultures have different tastes of music. C．Because people with different personality prefer the same taste of music. D．Because music is a good way of communication between people with similar personality. 5．What is this passage mainly about? A．The ways to be an outgoing person. B．A study about different kinds of music. C．A survey about how to show your feelings. D．The musical tastes between different people. （25-26九年级上·山东临沂·期末）Want to know what your friends are really like? Take a look at their music playlist. More than 36,000 people, from all over the world, took part in an experiment (实验). It compared their personalities with how much they liked different musical styles. The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here’s what certain musical styles say about who you are. Rock Like the sound of loud guitars and heavy drum beats? This type of music sounds very exciting, but fans of it are often quite gentle. Country music If cowboy hats and guitars get you singing along, it’s possible that you’ re hard-working, preferring traditional styles and values. Jazz Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning. If you like the saxophone of John Coltrane, then you’ re probably self-confident and easy to get on with. Classical music If Beethoven and Mozart have you turning up the music, you’ re probably quiet, but happy with who you are and comfortable with the world around you. But the experiment didn’t tell the whole story: where we grow up, who we often go out with, and our personal experiences play into our taste, too. The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. But no matter what style you like, music is for everyone.

This piece is neither too fast nor too slow. Its melody (旋律) starts gently, like a small stream (溪流) winding through a quiet forest. As the music goes on, the tune (曲调) becomes a little stronger, just as the stream grows into a river, flowing smoothly but with hidden power.

When you listen to it, you may think of your sweet memories, or feel a quiet sadness that is not strong but warm.

It has been played at weddings, graduation ceremonies, and even in some coffee shops to create a peaceful atmosphere (氛围).

The slow and emotional beats of the song help deal with the pain of heartbreak and loss. ②There is no doubt that music can calm you down, and it turns out that it can also be a medicine for treating physical pain. According to a new study, listening to favorite songs can reduce people’s feelings of pain, and the sad songs are the most useful. ③Researchers invited 63 adults to bring two songs. One was their favorite, and the other was the song they would bring with them on a desert island. Then the researchers also had the adults pick one of the seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the adults. ④In one group, each person was asked to look at a screen while listening to their favorite songs, one relaxing chosen song, or a mixture of their own two songs and the relaxing chosen song. The other group had people sitting in silence. At the same time, the researchers put a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the skin — on the participants’ (参与者) left arms. ⑤When rating (评价) their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with listening to the unfamiliar relaxing song or silence. Mixed music seemed more like a way to distract (使分心) people from unpleasant experiences instead of reducing pain. After interviewing the participants about the songs they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found that people who listened to sad songs felt less pain than those who listened to cheerful songs. ⑥Still, there is nothing wrong with picking a cheerful song if that is your favorite. After all, music provides many other health benefits, including stress reduction and a good night’s sleep. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By comparing differences.
