Scientific studies show that music influences our bodies, minds and social culture in many surprising ways. First, music influences our feelings. Soft pieces that have slow beats can calm nervous people down, while lively music that carries strong rhythms can cheer us up when we feel upset. Hospitals around the world use gentle music to reduce patients’ stress before small operations. Besides feelings, music is good for brain development. Students who learn to play instruments often do better in memory-related tasks. When people listen to or create music, many different parts of the brain become active. It is not only for talented people but for every common person. What’s more, music is an important carrier of culture. Every nation has special music that shows its own history and local life. Folk music that is passed down from old times keeps old stories alive. Through music, people from different backgrounds can understand each other better, even if they cannot speak the same language. Music is everywhere in daily life. You can meet it in concerts, in films, on streets and in your own headphones. It is a special gift for human beings. 1．What do hospitals use soft music to do?

D．To compare folk music and pop music. 2 Playing a musical instrument is not only fun, but it might also be helpful to our brains (脑)! Scientists are doing a study with people aged 40 and older to see how playing music affects brain health. They have looked at results from over 1,000 adults and found that playing an instrument or singing can improve their memory and cognitive speed (认知速度). Anne Corbett, a researcher from the University of Exeter, says that being musical could help keep our brains strong as we get older. She believes musical education is important and we should let older adults return to music in later life. Stuart Douglas, a 78-year-old who plays the accordion, shared his story. He learned to play the accordion as a boy and has been playing it all his life. He now performs with a band. He sees how music helps people with memory problems and believes that continuing with music into older age plays an important role in keeping brains healthy. The idea for this study came from Gaia Vetere, a medical student who loves playing the piano. “I am very interested in researching the relationship between music and cognition. Doing the study is challenging, but I have learned a lot and it’s truly a meaningful experience,” she said. 6．According to Anne Corbett, what should older adults do to keep their brains strong? A．Get into music. B．Do volunteer work. C．Make more friends. D．Pick up new hobbies. 7．How does the writer show the importance of music in Paragraph 3? A．He describes a scene. B．He gives an example.

B．Music learning is easier for older people. C．Playing music has little to do with cognition. D．Playing music improves memory in older adults. 3 Music can make us feel many different things. Some songs make us feel happy, while others make us feel sad or calm. Music can also remind us of special times in our lives. For example, we might remember songs that played on our birthdays. The songs become special because they’re connected to our feelings and memories. But music doesn’t just help us remember. Scientists think it might also change how we remember things. In a study, researchers asked people to read some short stories. These stories were not happy or sad—they were just normal. The next day, the people listened to happy music, sad music, or no music while thinking about the stories again. While this happened, a machine called an MRI was used to see how their brains worked. On the third day, the people were asked to remember the same stories again, but without any music. The scientists wanted to know if the music had changed what people remembered. And it did. When people listened to happy music, they remembered the stories in a happier way. When they listened to sad music, they remembered the stories as sadder ones. Even without music, their memories stayed changed. Music made certain parts of the brain more active. These parts help us feel emotions (情绪) and remember things. This means music doesn’t just help us remember—it changes the memory itself. 10．What’s shown about music and memories according to the text? A．Music only helps people forget bad things. B．Music always brings back old memories. C．Music makes stories harder to understand. D．Music can change how we feel about the past events. 11．What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to? A．The music. B．The brain. C．The MRI. D．The story. 12．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this text? A．To show why some music is fun. B．To tell how music helps with memories. C．To teach how to use brain machines. D．To express people should read more stories. 4 Have you ever wondered why a sad song can make you cry, or why a fast beat makes you want to move? The answer lies in how music affects your brain. Scientists have discovered that music is one of the few things that can activate almost every part of the human brain at the same time. When you listen to a song you like, your brain releases dopamine—the same chemical that makes you feel happy when you eat your favourite food or get a good grade. This is why music can change your mood so quickly. If you’re feeling down, an upbeat song can lift your spirits in just a few minutes. If you’re anxious before an exam, a slow and calm piece can slow your heartbeat and help you relax. Music also has a strong connection to memory. Have you ever heard a song on the radio and suddenly remembered something that happened years ago? That’s because the part of the brain that processes music is close to the part that stores memories. This is why people with memory loss, like Alzheimer’s patients, can sometimes remember songs from their childhood even when they can’t remember the names of their family members. For teenagers, music is especially powerful. The teenage brain is still developing, and it’s more sensitive to emotions than an adult brain. This means the music you listen to now might have a bigger effect on you than it will when you’re older. Choosing music that makes you feel good, rather than music with angry or sad messages, can help you build a more positive mindset. So the next time someone tells you to turn down your music, you can tell them you’re not just having fun—you’re taking care of your brain! 13．What chemical does the brain release when you listen to a song you like? A．Adrenaline. B．Dopamine. C．Melatonin. D．Serotonin. 14．According to the text, why can music help Alzheimer’s patients? A．Because it makes them dance. B．Because it helps them remember things. C．Because it cures their illness. D．Because it makes them sleep better. 15．How does the writer explain the connection between music and memory? A．By telling a personal story. B．By asking the reader questions. C．By giving a scientific explanation. D．By listing numbers. 16．What advice does the writer give to teenagers? A．Listen to music as much as possible. B．Choose music that makes them feel good. C．Avoid all sad songs. D．Only listen to classical music. 17．What is the main theme of the text? A．Culture. B．Science. C．Sports. D．History. 5 Have you ever felt sick or had a headache while riding in a car? That’s carsickness, a common problem. It happens because your brain is in such a situation: you’re sitting still, but your inner ear sends movement (移动) signals (信号) to the brain. When carsickness hits, what do you usually do? Some people take medicine, while others try sitting at the front of the car to look ahead or keep the window open for fresh air. Those methods can work, but Chinese scientists have found a new, easier solution — listening to music! They studied how to help people feel better from carsickness and discovered that different kinds of music have different effects on reducing it. The study results were quite interesting. Joyful music worked the best, reducing carsickness by 57.3%. Soft music was almost as good, cutting down carsickness by 56.7%. Passionate music helped a little, with a 48.3% reduction. However, sad music didn’t help at all. In fact, it was even worse than doing nothing. The control group just had a rest to reduce carsickness. They reported a reduction in carsickness of 43.3% after their rest, while those who listened to sad music reported a reduction of just 40%. Researchers think that soft music helps you relax, while joyful music keeps your mind busy and helps you feel good. But sad music could have the opposite effect. It might make you feel worse by bringing up negative (悲观的) feelings. So, next time you start to feel carsick during a car ride, listen to some joyful or soft music! It could make your trip more enjoyable and help you feel better. 18．Why do we feel carsick in a car? A．The car runs too fast. B．Fresh air is not enough. C．Different signals make the brain confused. D．We sit for too long. 19．What does the underlined word “Passionate” in the third paragraph mean? A．Gentle. B．Energetic and exciting. C．Sad. D．Happy and lively. 20．Which kind of music helps reduce carsickness most? A．Joyful music. B．Soft music. C．Passionate music. D．Sad music. 21．How does the writer show the study results? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling personal experiences. C．By giving examples of travel stories. D．By introducing famous scientists’ opinions. 22．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Different ways to drive cars safely. B．How music helps with carsickness. C．Why people love different kinds of music. D．How to choose music for long trips. 6 The term “folk song” has been accepted by most people for over a hundred years, but there is still plenty of disagreement about what it actually means. The explanation of the meaning provided by the International Folk Music Council says that folk music is the music of ordinary people, which is passed on from person to person by being listened to rather than learnt from the printed page. When songs have gone through this process, their origins (起源) are usually impossible to find. For example, if a farmer makes up a song and sings it to a couple of friends who like it and memorize it, possibly when the friends come to sing it themselves, one of them might forget some of the words and make up new ones to fill the gaps, while the other, perhaps more artistic, might add a few details to the tune (曲调) and improve a couple of lines of text. If this happens a few times, there will be many different versions (版本), and then the song’s original writer will be forgotten, and finally the song will become common property. This constant (不断的) reshaping and recreation is the essence of folk music. Therefore, modern popular songs and other published music, even though widely sung by people who are not skilled musicians, are not considered folk music. The music and words have been written in books or recorded on CDs, so they cannot be changed freely as folk songs can. The best environment for the creation of folk music is a remote rural (乡村的) community. In such a setting, folk songs and dances have a special purpose at every period in a person’s life, from childhood to death. Epic tales of heroic deeds, seasonal songs about calendar events and occupational songs are also likely to be sung. In these communities, folk music serves as a way to pass down history, traditions and values. It brings people together for celebrations, rituals and storytelling, keeping their culture alive and passing it down to future generations. 23．Which is the correct order of how folk music is formed? a. The friends learn and remember the song.         b. The original writer of the song is forgotten. c. Many different versions of the song appear.         d. A farmer creates a new song and sings it to friends. e. The words and tune of the song are changed a few times.          f. The song becomes folk music and belongs to everyone. A．a-d-e-c-b-f B．a-e-f-c-d-b C．d-a-e-c-b-f D．d-a-c-e-f-b 24．The underlined word “essence” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to ______. A．basic nature B．growing importance C．first period D．final result 25．According to the passage, modern popular songs are NOT folk music because ______. A．no one remembers who wrote them B．they are not about heroes or seasons C．they are not sung by ordinary people D．people cannot change their words or tune 26．What can we learn about the rural community from the last paragraph? A．Folk music plays an important part there. B．Folk songs there never change over time. C．People there never listen to modern songs. D．All songs there are written by skilled musicians. 27．Who might be most interested in reading this passage? A．Mike who is a farmer. B．Lisa who wants to be a singer. C．Lily who enjoys writing books. D．Tom who studies science at school. 7 [1] On January 4th, 2022, the China National Traditional Orchestra (中央民族乐团) played some well-known traditional music in its concert. Audiences (观众) enjoyed the beautiful sounds of guzheng, the powerful tunes of suona, the tearful notes of erhu and so on. Each traditional Chinese musical instrument tells its own story. [2] “I’ve fallen in love with the sounds of traditional instruments, especially pipa, a four-stringed (弦) instrument with a history of more than 2,000 years. It can produce different sounds, such as the sounds of falling snow and raindrops. Every time I listen to a pipa tune, I have a strong feeling of peace.” said Yang Tian, a member of the audience. [3] However, a recent report suggests ________. To wake up people’s love for traditional music, something creative has been done. [4] In some traditional music concerts, VR technology is used to bring the starry sky or the beautiful sandy view of Dunhuang to the music hall. It makes the experience like watching a 3D movie. [5] Li Xiaobing, a music teacher from Beijing, mixes traditional folk singing, opera and Chinese instruments through technology. People are surprised at his works and they love them! [6] Some musicians try to add something new to traditional music. They bring modern music like pop and rap into traditional music. When the East meets the West, the new form of music wins the hearts of both the old and the young. [7] Traditional music shows the beauty of our culture, and with some creativity, great things happen. 28．Which of the following can be put in the ________? A．pipa cannot produce the sound of falling snow B．traditional music is much better than modern music C．the number of traditional music listeners is dropping D．more young people show interest in traditional music 29．To wake up people’s love for traditional music, Li Xiaobing ________.

A．traditional music should only be played in concerts B．the ways to play traditional music must be changed C．traditional music must remain unchanged all the time D．traditional music with creativity will be more popular 8 Nowadays, more middle‑school students take music lessons. A recent survey talks about students’ real thoughts on music learning. Over 68 percent of the students in the survey take music classes out of their own interest. Only 32 percent take lessons because their parents wish them to. Learning music brings students two big kinds of gains. First, it brings inner feelings. Playing or singing lets students show feelings that they cannot easily talk about in daily conversations. Second, it brings social gains. Students can join music groups and communicate with partners. They learn to work together when they prepare for group performances. Many students mention one common difficulty. They have little spare time for practice because of heavy schoolwork. Some students give up halfway for this reason. To solve the problem, some music teachers suggest short but daily practice. Practicing for 15—20 minutes every day works better than practising for several hours once a week. Music learning is not only about winning prizes. It is more about enjoying the beauty hidden inside musical pieces. That is the real purpose for teenagers to learn music. 32．How many students in the survey take music classes because of their own interest? A．32%. B．Over 68%. C．50%. D．15%. 33．What is the real purpose of teenagers’ music‑learning according to the text? A．To win all kinds of music prizes. B．To make lots of new pen‑friends online. C．To enjoy the beauty in musical pieces. D．To make much money in future shows. 34．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Having little spare time to practise music. B．Getting bad scores in school subjects. C．Having too many music performances. D．Disliking their strict music teachers. 35．What can we know from Paragraph 2?

Scientific studies show that music influences our bodies, minds and social culture in many surprising ways. First, music influences our feelings. Soft pieces that have slow beats can calm nervous people down, while lively music that carries strong rhythms can cheer us up when we feel upset. Hospitals around the world use gentle music to reduce patients’ stress before small operations. Besides feelings, music is good for brain development. Students who learn to play instruments often do better in memory-related tasks. When people listen to or create music, many different parts of the brain become active. It is not only for talented people but for every common person. What’s more, music is an important carrier of culture. Every nation has special music that shows its own history and local life. Folk music that is passed down from old times keeps old stories alive. Through music, people from different backgrounds can understand each other better, even if they cannot speak the same language. Music is everywhere in daily life. You can meet it in concerts, in films, on streets and in your own headphones. It is a special gift for human beings. 1．What do hospitals use soft music to do?

A．To introduce different kinds of musical instruments. B．To explain how music influences people and culture. C．To teach teenagers how to compose music. D．To compare folk music and pop music. 2 Playing a musical instrument is not only fun, but it might also be helpful to our brains (脑)! Scientists are doing a study with people aged 40 and older to see how playing music affects brain health. They have looked at results from over 1,000 adults and found that playing an instrument or singing can improve their memory and cognitive speed (认知速度). Anne Corbett, a researcher from the University of Exeter, says that being musical could help keep our brains strong as we get older. She believes musical education is important and we should let older adults return to music in later life. Stuart Douglas, a 78-year-old who plays the accordion, shared his story. He learned to play the accordion as a boy and has been playing it all his life. He now performs with a band. He sees how music helps people with memory problems and believes that continuing with music into older age plays an important role in keeping brains healthy. The idea for this study came from Gaia Vetere, a medical student who loves playing the piano. “I am very interested in researching the relationship between music and cognition. Doing the study is challenging, but I have learned a lot and it’s truly a meaningful experience,” she said. 6．According to Anne Corbett, what should older adults do to keep their brains strong? A．Get into music. B．Do volunteer work. C．Make more friends. D．Pick up new hobbies. 7．How does the writer show the importance of music in Paragraph 3? A．He describes a scene. B．He gives an example. C．He shows some numbers. D．He answers some questions. 8．What do we know about Gaia Vetere? A．She is a music teacher. B．She has memory problems.

B．Music learning is easier for older people. C．Playing music has little to do with cognition. D．Playing music improves memory in older adults. 3 Music can make us feel many different things. Some songs make us feel happy, while others make us feel sad or calm. Music can also remind us of special times in our lives. For example, we might remember songs that played on our birthdays. The songs become special because they’re connected to our feelings and memories. But music doesn’t just help us remember. Scientists think it might also change how we remember things. In a study, researchers asked people to read some short stories. These stories were not happy or sad—they were just normal. The next day, the people listened to happy music, sad music, or no music while thinking about the stories again. While this happened, a machine called an MRI was used to see how their brains worked. On the third day, the people were asked to remember the same stories again, but without any music. The scientists wanted to know if the music had changed what people remembered. And it did. When people listened to happy music, they remembered the stories in a happier way. When they listened to sad music, they remembered the stories as sadder ones. Even without music, their memories stayed changed. Music made certain parts of the brain more active. These parts help us feel emotions (情绪) and remember things. This means music doesn’t just help us remember—it changes the memory itself. 10．What’s shown about music and memories according to the text? A．Music only helps people forget bad things. B．Music always brings back old memories. C．Music makes stories harder to understand. D．Music can change how we feel about the past events. 11．What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to? A．The music. B．The brain. C．The MRI. D．The story. 12．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this text? A．To show why some music is fun. B．To tell how music helps with memories. C．To teach how to use brain machines. D．To express people should read more stories. 4 Have you ever wondered why a sad song can make you cry, or why a fast beat makes you want to move? The answer lies in how music affects your brain. Scientists have discovered that music is one of the few things that can activate almost every part of the human brain at the same time. When you listen to a song you like, your brain releases dopamine—the same chemical that makes you feel happy when you eat your favourite food or get a good grade. This is why music can change your mood so quickly. If you’re feeling down, an upbeat song can lift your spirits in just a few minutes. If you’re anxious before an exam, a slow and calm piece can slow your heartbeat and help you relax. Music also has a strong connection to memory. Have you ever heard a song on the radio and suddenly remembered something that happened years ago? That’s because the part of the brain that processes music is close to the part that stores memories. This is why people with memory loss, like Alzheimer’s patients, can sometimes remember songs from their childhood even when they can’t remember the names of their family members. For teenagers, music is especially powerful. The teenage brain is still developing, and it’s more sensitive to emotions than an adult brain. This means the music you listen to now might have a bigger effect on you than it will when you’re older. Choosing music that makes you feel good, rather than music with angry or sad messages, can help you build a more positive mindset. So the next time someone tells you to turn down your music, you can tell them you’re not just having fun—you’re taking care of your brain! 13．What chemical does the brain release when you listen to a song you like? A．Adrenaline. B．Dopamine. C．Melatonin. D．Serotonin. 14．According to the text, why can music help Alzheimer’s patients? A．Because it makes them dance. B．Because it helps them remember things. C．Because it cures their illness. D．Because it makes them sleep better. 15．How does the writer explain the connection between music and memory? A．By telling a personal story. B．By asking the reader questions. C．By giving a scientific explanation. D．By listing numbers. 16．What advice does the writer give to teenagers? A．Listen to music as much as possible. B．Choose music that makes them feel good. C．Avoid all sad songs. D．Only listen to classical music. 17．What is the main theme of the text? A．Culture. B．Science. C．Sports. D．History. 5 Have you ever felt sick or had a headache while riding in a car? That’s carsickness, a common problem. It happens because your brain is in such a situation: you’re sitting still, but your inner ear sends movement (移动) signals (信号) to the brain. When carsickness hits, what do you usually do? Some people take medicine, while others try sitting at the front of the car to look ahead or keep the window open for fresh air. Those methods can work, but Chinese scientists have found a new, easier solution — listening to music! They studied how to help people feel better from carsickness and discovered that different kinds of music have different effects on reducing it. The study results were quite interesting. Joyful music worked the best, reducing carsickness by 57.3%. Soft music was almost as good, cutting down carsickness by 56.7%. Passionate music helped a little, with a 48.3% reduction. However, sad music didn’t help at all. In fact, it was even worse than doing nothing. The control group just had a rest to reduce carsickness. They reported a reduction in carsickness of 43.3% after their rest, while those who listened to sad music reported a reduction of just 40%. Researchers think that soft music helps you relax, while joyful music keeps your mind busy and helps you feel good. But sad music could have the opposite effect. It might make you feel worse by bringing up negative (悲观的) feelings. So, next time you start to feel carsick during a car ride, listen to some joyful or soft music! It could make your trip more enjoyable and help you feel better. 18．Why do we feel carsick in a car? A．The car runs too fast. B．Fresh air is not enough. C．Different signals make the brain confused. D．We sit for too long. 19．What does the underlined word “Passionate” in the third paragraph mean? A．Gentle. B．Energetic and exciting. C．Sad. D．Happy and lively. 20．Which kind of music helps reduce carsickness most? A．Joyful music. B．Soft music. C．Passionate music. D．Sad music. 21．How does the writer show the study results? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling personal experiences. C．By giving examples of travel stories. D．By introducing famous scientists’ opinions. 22．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Different ways to drive cars safely. B．How music helps with carsickness. C．Why people love different kinds of music. D．How to choose music for long trips. 6 The term “folk song” has been accepted by most people for over a hundred years, but there is still plenty of disagreement about what it actually means. The explanation of the meaning provided by the International Folk Music Council says that folk music is the music of ordinary people, which is passed on from person to person by being listened to rather than learnt from the printed page. When songs have gone through this process, their origins (起源) are usually impossible to find. For example, if a farmer makes up a song and sings it to a couple of friends who like it and memorize it, possibly when the friends come to sing it themselves, one of them might forget some of the words and make up new ones to fill the gaps, while the other, perhaps more artistic, might add a few details to the tune (曲调) and improve a couple of lines of text. If this happens a few times, there will be many different versions (版本), and then the song’s original writer will be forgotten, and finally the song will become common property. This constant (不断的) reshaping and recreation is the essence of folk music. Therefore, modern popular songs and other published music, even though widely sung by people who are not skilled musicians, are not considered folk music. The music and words have been written in books or recorded on CDs, so they cannot be changed freely as folk songs can. The best environment for the creation of folk music is a remote rural (乡村的) community. In such a setting, folk songs and dances have a special purpose at every period in a person’s life, from childhood to death. Epic tales of heroic deeds, seasonal songs about calendar events and occupational songs are also likely to be sung. In these communities, folk music serves as a way to pass down history, traditions and values. It brings people together for celebrations, rituals and storytelling, keeping their culture alive and passing it down to future generations. 23．Which is the correct order of how folk music is formed? a. The friends learn and remember the song.         b. The original writer of the song is forgotten. c. Many different versions of the song appear.         d. A farmer creates a new song and sings it to friends. e. The words and tune of the song are changed a few times.          f. The song becomes folk music and belongs to everyone. A．a-d-e-c-b-f B．a-e-f-c-d-b C．d-a-e-c-b-f D．d-a-c-e-f-b 24．The underlined word “essence” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to ______. A．basic nature B．growing importance C．first period D．final result 25．According to the passage, modern popular songs are NOT folk music because ______. A．no one remembers who wrote them B．they are not about heroes or seasons C．they are not sung by ordinary people D．people cannot change their words or tune 26．What can we learn about the rural community from the last paragraph?

D．All songs there are written by skilled musicians. 27．Who might be most interested in reading this passage? A．Mike who is a farmer. B．Lisa who wants to be a singer. C．Lily who enjoys writing books. D．Tom who studies science at school. 7 [1] On January 4th, 2022, the China National Traditional Orchestra (中央民族乐团) played some well-known traditional music in its concert. Audiences (观众) enjoyed the beautiful sounds of guzheng, the powerful tunes of suona, the tearful notes of erhu and so on. Each traditional Chinese musical instrument tells its own story. [2] “I’ve fallen in love with the sounds of traditional instruments, especially pipa, a four-stringed (弦) instrument with a history of more than 2,000 years. It can produce different sounds, such as the sounds of falling snow and raindrops. Every time I listen to a pipa tune, I have a strong feeling of peace.” said Yang Tian, a member of the audience. [3] However, a recent report suggests ________. To wake up people’s love for traditional music, something creative has been done. [4] In some traditional music concerts, VR technology is used to bring the starry sky or the beautiful sandy view of Dunhuang to the music hall. It makes the experience like watching a 3D movie. [5] Li Xiaobing, a music teacher from Beijing, mixes traditional folk singing, opera and Chinese instruments through technology. People are surprised at his works and they love them! [6] Some musicians try to add something new to traditional music. They bring modern music like pop and rap into traditional music. When the East meets the West, the new form of music wins the hearts of both the old and the young. [7] Traditional music shows the beauty of our culture, and with some creativity, great things happen. 28．Which of the following can be put in the ________? A．pipa cannot produce the sound of falling snow B．traditional music is much better than modern music C．the number of traditional music listeners is dropping D．more young people show interest in traditional music 29．To wake up people’s love for traditional music, Li Xiaobing ________.

A．traditional music should only be played in concerts B．the ways to play traditional music must be changed C．traditional music must remain unchanged all the time D．traditional music with creativity will be more popular 8 Nowadays, more middle‑school students take music lessons. A recent survey talks about students’ real thoughts on music learning. Over 68 percent of the students in the survey take music classes out of their own interest. Only 32 percent take lessons because their parents wish them to. Learning music brings students two big kinds of gains. First, it brings inner feelings. Playing or singing lets students show feelings that they cannot easily talk about in daily conversations. Second, it brings social gains. Students can join music groups and communicate with partners. They learn to work together when they prepare for group performances. Many students mention one common difficulty. They have little spare time for practice because of heavy schoolwork. Some students give up halfway for this reason. To solve the problem, some music teachers suggest short but daily practice. Practicing for 15—20 minutes every day works better than practising for several hours once a week. Music learning is not only about winning prizes. It is more about enjoying the beauty hidden inside musical pieces. That is the real purpose for teenagers to learn music. 32．How many students in the survey take music classes because of their own interest? A．32%. B．Over 68%. C．50%. D．15%. 33．What is the real purpose of teenagers’ music‑learning according to the text? A．To win all kinds of music prizes. B．To make lots of new pen‑friends online. C．To enjoy the beauty in musical pieces. D．To make much money in future shows. 34．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Having little spare time to practise music. B．Getting bad scores in school subjects. C．Having too many music performances. D．Disliking their strict music teachers. 35．What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．Music learning helps students in their feelings and social life. B．Students must win prizes when they join music groups. C．Students cannot talk after they join music groups. D．Group music work requires students to give up schoolwork. 36．Which is the best title for this passage? A．How to make music without any practice B．Teenagers’ ideas about learning music C．Different ways to join music competitions D．Why all students should become singers 参考答案 1 1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．B 【解析】本文介绍音乐不仅是娱乐，还影响情感、大脑发育及文化传承，阐述音乐对人类身心和社会文化的多重积极作用。 1．第二段提到“Hospitals around the world use gentle music to reduce patients’ stress before small operations”，说明医院使用柔和音乐是为了减轻患者压力。 2．第四段提到“Every nation has special music that shows its own history and local life”，说明每个国家都有展现其自身历史和当地生活的独特音乐，民间音乐传承古老故事，不同背景的人可借助音乐增进理解，可知音乐是承载、传播文化相关内容的事物，所以carrier的意思是something that spreads something。 3．第三段提到“Students who learn to play instruments often do better in memory-related tasks”，说明学习乐器演奏的学生通常在与记忆相关的任务中表现更好，即学习乐器可能帮助学生在记忆方面表现更好。 4．第四段提到“Through music, people from different backgrounds can understand each other better, even if they cannot speak the same language”，说明音乐帮助不同背景的人更好地理解彼此。 5．文章开篇点明音乐在多方面影响人类与社会文化，后续分别从情绪影响、大脑发育、文化作用三个维度展开说明，作者的写作目的是阐释音乐如何影响人类与文化，其余选项均未在文中涉及。 2 6．A 7．B 8．D 9．D 【解析】本文主要介绍了一项针对40岁以上人群的研究，表明演奏乐器或唱歌可以改善老年人的记忆力和认知速度，有助于保持大脑健康。 6．第2段“She believes musical education is important and we should let older adults return to music in later life.”提到，Anne Corbett认为音乐相关活动能帮助年长者保持大脑强健，还建议年长者在晚年回归音乐，对应选项A“投身音乐”。 7．根据第3段“Stuart Douglas, a 78-year-old who plays the accordion, shared his story.”可知，第三段作者讲述了78岁手风琴演奏者Stuart Douglas坚持演奏音乐、认为音乐助力大脑健康的个人故事，属于通过举例子的方式佐证音乐的重要性，并非场景描写、列数字或回答问题。 8．根据第4段“I am very interested in researching the relationship between music and cognition.”可知，Gaia Vetere是热爱弹钢琴的医学生，正在研究音乐与认知之间的关系。 9．通读全文，尤其根据第1段“They have looked at results from over 1,000 adults and found that playing an instrument or singing can improve their memory and cognitive speed (认知速度).”可知，这项研究的主要发现是演奏音乐能改善老年人的记忆力，即“Playing music improves memory in older adults”。 3 10．D 11．A 12．B 【解析】本文主要探讨了音乐与记忆之间的关系。文章通过研究说明音乐不仅能唤起记忆，还能改变我们记忆的方式和感受。 10．文章第三段中“The scientists wanted to know if the music had changed what people remembered.

And it did.”可推知“it”指代前文提到的主语“the music”，表示音乐确实改变了记忆。 12．根据文章最后一段中“This means music doesn’t just help us remember—it changes the memory itself.”及全文内容可推知作者写作目的是告诉读者音乐如何帮助并改变记忆。 4 13．B 14．B 15．C 16．B 17．B 【解析】本文介绍了音乐对大脑产生的影响，包括音乐可以改变情绪、关联记忆，以及音乐对青少年大脑的特殊作用。 13．原文第二段“When you listen to a song you like, your brain releases dopamine—the same chemical that makes you feel happy when you eat your favourite food or get a good grade.”，这句话说明当听喜欢的歌曲时，大脑会释放多巴胺。 14．原文第三段“This is why people with memory loss, like Alzheimer’s patients, can sometimes remember songs from their childhood even when they can’t remember the names of their family members.”，说明音乐可以帮助阿尔茨海默症患者回忆事情。 15．原文第三段“That’s because the part of the brain that processes music is close to the part that stores memories.”，作者用大脑结构的科学原理来解释音乐与记忆的联系，是通过给出科学解释的方式。 16．原文第四段“Choosing music that makes you feel good, rather than music with angry or sad messages, can help you build a more positive mindset.”，这是作者给青少年的建议，选择能让自己感觉愉悦的音乐。 17．全文从脑科学角度解释音乐如何影响情绪和记忆，属于科学类主题，为Science。 5 18．C 19．B 20．A 21．A 22．B 【解析】本文介绍了晕车的原因及音乐对缓解晕车的不同效果。 18．第一段指出晕车是因为大脑接收到不一致的信号：“your inner ear sends movement signals to the brain, but you're sitting still”，说明不同信号让大脑困惑。 19．第三段中“Passionate”与“joyful”、“soft”、“sad”并列，分别对应不同音乐类型对晕车的缓解效果。结合后文“joyful music”和“soft music”效果较好，而“sad music”效果最差，可推知“passionate music”应属于积极类音乐，也能起到一定作用，passionate 意为“充满活力的、令人兴奋的”。 20．第三段指出“Joyful music worked the best, reducing carsickness by 57.3%”，说明欢快的音乐效果最好。 21．第三段通过具体数据（57.3%、56.7%、48.3%、43.3%、40%）展示研究结果。 22．全文围绕音乐如何帮助缓解晕车这一主题展开，第一段介绍晕车原因，第二段引出音乐缓解晕车的方法，第三段通过数据对比不同音乐的效果，第四段分析原因，第五段给出建议，因此主要讲“音乐如何帮助缓解晕车”。 6 23．C 24．A 25．D 26．A 27．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了民歌的定义、形成过程、与现代流行歌曲的区别以及在乡村社区中的作用。 23．根据第二段“For example, if a farmer makes up a song and sings it to a couple of friends who like it and memorize it... one of them might forget some of the words and make up new ones... there will be many different versions... and then the song’s original writer will be forgotten, and finally the song will become common property.”可知，形成顺序为农民创作唱歌给朋友，朋友学唱，歌词曲调改变，出现不同版本，原作者被遗忘，成为公共财产，对应选项C。 24．根据第二段“This constant reshaping and recreation is the essence of folk music.”可知，这种不断的重塑和再创造是民歌的核心性质，“essence”意为本质。 25．根据第三段“The music and words have been written in books or recorded on CDs, so they cannot be changed freely as folk songs can.”可知，现代流行歌曲不能被自由改变歌词或曲调。 26．根据第四段“folk songs and dances have a special purpose at every period in a person’s life... folk music serves as a way to pass down history, traditions and values.”可知，民歌在那里扮演重要角色。 27．根据全文主要介绍民歌的定义、形成及文化意义，属于音乐文化范畴，可知想成为歌手的人会对音乐相关话题最感兴趣。 7 28．C 29．C 30．B 31．D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统音乐面临的现状，人们运用创意与现代技术对传统音乐进行创新改编，让传统音乐焕发新活力。 28．文章第1段和第2段介绍了传统音乐音乐会的精彩效果与观众的喜爱，此处用However形成转折，后文“To wake up people’s love for traditional music, something creative has been done.”提到要采取创新举措唤醒人们对传统音乐的热爱，由此推知空格处应表述传统音乐存在的问题。C选项“传统音乐听众的数量正在下降”逻辑相符。 29．文章第5段“Li Xiaobing, a music teacher from Beijing, mixes traditional folk singing, opera and Chinese instruments through technology.”提到李晓冰通过科技融合多种传统音乐相关的艺术形式，对传统音乐进行创新，唤醒人们对传统音乐的喜爱。 30．文章①②段通过音乐会场景与观众的真实感受，介绍传统音乐的魅力，属于文章的引入部分；第③段点明传统音乐现状，引出下文的创新举措；④⑤⑥段分别列举 VR 技术、技术融合、融入现代曲风三种创新方式；第③段起到承上启下的过渡作用，④⑤⑥为并列的实例，共同构成文章的主体论述部分；第⑦段总结全文，点明创新对传统音乐的积极作用。该结构与选项B的图示匹配。 31．文章第7段“Traditional music shows the beauty of our culture, and with some creativity, great things happen.”表明带有创意的传统音乐会收获好的结果，由此可推断出作者认为融入创新的传统音乐会更受欢迎。 8 32．B 33．C 34．A 35．A 36．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项关于中学生音乐学习想法的调查，说明了学习音乐带来的收获、学生练习遇到的困难以及青少年学习音乐的真正目的。 32．根据文章第一段内容“Over 68 percent of the students in the survey take music classes out of their own interest.”可知，超过68%的学生出于自身兴趣上音乐课。 33．根据文章最后一段内容“It is more about enjoying the beauty hidden inside musical pieces. That is the real purpose for teenagers to learn music.”可知，青少年学音乐的真正目的是欣赏乐曲之中的美。 34．根据文章第三段内容“They have little spare time for practice because of heavy schoolwork. Some students give up halfway for this reason.”可知，this指代前文几乎没有空余时间练习音乐这件事。 35．根据文章第二段内容“Learning music brings students two big kinds of gains. First, it brings inner feelings…Second, it brings social gains.”可知，学习音乐在情感和社交生活两方面帮助学生。 36．文章通篇围绕中学生对于音乐学习的看法展开叙述，选项B符合题意。 ( 1 / 1 )学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
