Our love of music and appreciation of musical harmony is learned and not based on natural ability, a new study by University of Melbourne researchers has found. The researchers said previous theories about how we appreciate music were based on the physical functions of sound, the ear itself and a born ability to hear harmony.
The study shows that musical harmony can be learned, and it is a matter of training the brain to hear the sounds. So if you thought that the music of some foreign culture (or Jazz) sounded like the crying of cats, it’s simply because you haven’t learned to listen by their rules.
The researchers used 66 volunteers with a range of musical training and tested their ability to hear combinations of notes (音符) to determine if they found the combinations familiar or pleasing. They found that people needed to be familiar with combinations of notes. If they found the notes unfamiliar they also found the sound unpleasant. This finding put an end to centuries of theories claiming that physical functions of the ear determine what we find attractive.
The study found that trained musicians were much more sensitive to unpleasant notes than non-musicians. When they couldn’t find the note, the musicians reported that the sounds were unpleasant, while non-musicians were much less sensitive. This shows the importance of training or nurturing (培养) the brain to like particular sound of combinations of notes, like those found in jazz or rock.
Depending on their training, a strange chord (和弦) sound was pleasant to some musicians, but very unpleasant to others. This showed us that even the ability to hear a musical note is learned.
To confirm this finding, they trained 19 non-musicians to find the notes of a random selection of western chords. Not only did the participants’ ability to hear notes improve rapidly, afterward they reported that the chords they had learned sounded more pleasant — regardless of how the chords were played.
The question of why some combinations of musical notes are heard as pleasant or unpleasant has long been debated.
We have shown in this study that for music, beauty is in the brain of the beholder (观看者)”, a researcher said.
24. According to the study, people find foreign music quite unpleasant because .
A. they hear the music much too often B. they don’t like the person playing it
C. they have no idea about how to listen D. they have no born musical ability at all
25. Although no-musicians were less sensitive to music, they can still .
A. be trained to like particular music B. make friends with real musicians
C. find the beauty of chords without training D. enjoy the beauty of music when played by musicians
26. The 19 non-musicians were trained in order to show .
A. the brain likes particular combinations of notes
B. not a strange note was pleasant to all musicians
C. how the chords were played was very important
D. people’s ability to hear a musical note can be learned.
27. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Love of musical harmony can’t be taught. B. Love of music is not natural but nurtured.
C. Listening to music can improve your brain. D. You can be a musician without being trained.
C
This past year, I've found myself returning again and again to lines of poetry by Emily Dickinson. Like many people, I've needed the curing effects of reading more than ever. As scientists and psychologists will tell you, books are good for the brain and their benefits are particularly vital now.
Books expand our world, providing an escape and offering novelty, surprise and excitement. They broaden our view and help us connect with others. Books can also distract us and help reduce our mental chatter.When we hit the “flow state" of reading where we're fully lost in a book, our brain's mode network calms down. It's a network of brain that is active and gets absorbed in thinking and worrying endlessly when we are not doing anything else.
There is so much noise in the world right now and the very act of reading is kind of meditation. You disconnect from the chaos around you.You reconnect with yourself when you are reading. And there's no more noise.
In 2020, the NPD Group recorded the best year of book sales since 2004. Yet even as people are buying more books,many are reporting they're having a harder time getting through them. It's difficult for your brain to focus on a book when it's constantly scanning for threats to keep you alive.Our fight-or-flight response has been consistently activated.
Sometimes I picture my brain as a cartoon brain with little arms and legs, fighting with a book I am holding and screaming: “Can't you see I'm busy!” Anxiety causes our brain to produce a flood of stress,which consumes our energy and makes it harder to concentrate.
Then one day in December sitting on my couch, I remembered how much I like to read"The House of Mirth" every few years around the holidays. The memory inspired me to pick up the familiar book, opened it up and started reading.I just kept going.The comfort and distraction and brain-opening experience gave me peace.So return to something familiar.
28. What does the underlined part “mental chatter” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Getting lost in a book.
B. Non-stop inner anxiety.
C. Chatting with the author.
D. Powerful network of brain.
29. What do we know about reading according to the text
A. It can treat our headache.
B. It can calm down the noisy people.
C. It forces us to concentrate.on thinking.
D. It makes us communicate with ourselves.
30. Why was it difficult for people to finish reading books in 2020
A. People bought too many books.
B. The books were too difficult to understand.
C. People just wanted to escape from the threat.
D. The life threat disturbed people's focus on books.
31. Why is the author's experience mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To rid people of concern for safety.
B. To present an effective reading way.
C. To wake up memories of an old book.
D. To recommend the book he/she reads.
D
Sam, I say to myself as I start across the bridge, you must stop these thoughts and start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon, Frightful.
Life, my friend Ban do once said, is meeting problems and solving them whether you are an amoeba or a space traveller. I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they don't provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison now, I can't always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only road kill from in front of Mrs Strawberry's farm.
I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades down the south face of the mountain range I'm on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop.
Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corm and squash, bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I can't do that anymore.
I'm back where I started from.
Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the red-tailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches. I can almost hear her call my name, Cree, Cree, Cree, Car-ree.
Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines at the university. “But it's the law,” he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception of Alice and me. That won't work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States when he took office.
I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university and she will have young.
I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet.
When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply of the mountain air and try to solve my problem more realistically.
32. What does this excerpt main describe
A. Delicate mental activities. B. Unique story environment.
C. Everchanging story events. D. Complicated character relationship.
33. What is Sam's first worry
A. How to get back quickly B. How to get enough venison.
C. How to ensure the safety of Frightful. D. How to provide meat for Alice and himself.
34. What do we know about Frightful
A. He left Sam and Alice due to lack of food. B. He helped Sam hunt before being taken away.
C. He is living with the red-tailed hawk happily. D. He has given birth to babies in the university.
35. Which of the following can best describe Sam
A. Humorous. B. Aggressive. C. Responsible. D. Unrealistic.

Our love of music and appreciation of musical harmony is learned and not based on natural ability, a new study by University of Melbourne researchers has found. The researchers said previous theories about how we appreciate music were based on the physical functions of sound, the ear itself and a born ability to hear harmony.
The study shows that musical harmony can be learned, and it is a matter of training the brain to hear the sounds. So if you thought that the music of some foreign culture (or Jazz) sounded like the crying of cats, it’s simply because you haven’t learned to listen by their rules.
The researchers used 66 volunteers with a range of musical training and tested their ability to hear combinations of notes (音符) to determine if they found the combinations familiar or pleasing. They found that people needed to be familiar with combinations of notes. If they found the notes unfamiliar they also found the sound unpleasant. This finding put an end to centuries of theories claiming that physical functions of the ear determine what we find attractive.
The study found that trained musicians were much more sensitive to unpleasant notes than non-musicians. When they couldn’t find the note, the musicians reported that the sounds were unpleasant, while non-musicians were much less sensitive. This shows the importance of training or nurturing (培养) the brain to like particular sound of combinations of notes, like those found in jazz or rock.
Depending on their training, a strange chord (和弦) sound was pleasant to some musicians, but very unpleasant to others. This showed us that even the ability to hear a musical note is learned.
To confirm this finding, they trained 19 non-musicians to find the notes of a random selection of western chords. Not only did the participants’ ability to hear notes improve rapidly, afterward they reported that the chords they had learned sounded more pleasant — regardless of how the chords were played.
The question of why some combinations of musical notes are heard as pleasant or unpleasant has long been debated.
We have shown in this study that for music, beauty is in the brain of the beholder (观看者)”, a researcher said.
24. According to the study, people find foreign music quite unpleasant because .
A. they hear the music much too often B. they don’t like the person playing it
C. they have no idea about how to listen D. they have no born musical ability at all
25. Although no-musicians were less sensitive to music, they can still .
A. be trained to like particular music B. make friends with real musicians
C. find the beauty of chords without training D. enjoy the beauty of music when played by musicians
26. The 19 non-musicians were trained in order to show .
A. the brain likes particular combinations of notes
B. not a strange note was pleasant to all musicians
C. how the chords were played was very important
D. people’s ability to hear a musical note can be learned.
27. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Love of musical harmony can’t be taught. B. Love of music is not natural but nurtured.
C. Listening to music can improve your brain. D. You can be a musician without being trained.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述对音乐的喜爱不是天生的而是可以通过后天培养出来的。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“So if you thought that the music of some foreign culture (or Jazz) sounded like the crying of cats, it’s simply because you haven’t learned to listen by their rules. (如果你认为外国的音乐听起来像猫叫，那仅仅是因为你还没有学会按照他们的规则去听)”可知，人们不喜欢外国音乐是因为不知道怎么去听。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The study found that trained musicians were much more sensitive to unpleasant notes than non-musicians. When they couldn’t find the note, the musicians reported that the sounds were unpleasant, while non-musicians were much less sensitive. This shows the importance of training or nurturing (培养) the brain to like particular sound of combinations of notes, like those found in jazz or rock. (研究发现受过培训的音乐人比非音乐人对于不令人愉快的音调更敏感。当他们找不到音调时，音乐人会报告说这些声音是不令人愉快的，然而非音乐人就没那么敏感。这就表明训练或培养大脑喜欢特殊音符组合的声音的重要性，就像在爵士乐或摇滚乐中发现的那样)”可知，虽然非音乐人对音乐不敏感，但是可以后天培养。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“This showed us that even the ability to hear a musical note is learned. (这向我们表明了即使是听到音符的能力也是后天习得的)”以及第六段第一句“To confirm this finding, they trained 19 non-musicians to find the notes of a random selection of western chords. (为了证明这个发现，他们培训了19名非音乐人，来找到随机选择的西方和弦的音调)”可知，对19位非音乐人进行大脑训练是证明上一段中的的发现，即：人听到音调的能力是可以后天习得的。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句“Our love of music and appreciation of musical harmony is learned and not based on natural ability(我们对音乐的喜爱和欣赏是可以通过学习获得的，不是天生的)”以及第二段第一句“The study shows that musical harmony can be learned, and it is a matter of training the brain to hear the sounds. (这份研究表明音乐和谐是可以习得的，并且这是训练大脑听到声音的问题)”接下来进行举例分析论证。由此可知，本文主要讲述对音乐的喜爱不是天生的而是可以通过后天培养出来的。故选B。
C
This past year, I've found myself returning again and again to lines of poetry by Emily Dickinson. Like many people, I've needed the curing effects of reading more than ever. As scientists and psychologists will tell you, books are good for the brain and their benefits are particularly vital now.
Books expand our world, providing an escape and offering novelty, surprise and excitement. They broaden our view and help us connect with others. Books can also distract us and help reduce our mental chatter.When we hit the “flow state" of reading where we're fully lost in a book, our brain's mode network calms down. It's a network of brain that is active and gets absorbed in thinking and worrying endlessly when we are not doing anything else.
There is so much noise in the world right now and the very act of reading is kind of meditation. You disconnect from the chaos around you.You reconnect with yourself when you are reading. And there's no more noise.
In 2020, the NPD Group recorded the best year of book sales since 2004. Yet even as people are buying more books,many are reporting they're having a harder time getting through them. It's difficult for your brain to focus on a book when it's constantly scanning for threats to keep you alive.Our fight-or-flight response has been consistently activated.
Sometimes I picture my brain as a cartoon brain with little arms and legs, fighting with a book I am holding and screaming: “Can't you see I'm busy!” Anxiety causes our brain to produce a flood of stress,which consumes our energy and makes it harder to concentrate.
Then one day in December sitting on my couch, I remembered how much I like to read"The House of Mirth" every few years around the holidays. The memory inspired me to pick up the familiar book, opened it up and started reading.I just kept going.The comfort and distraction and brain-opening experience gave me peace.So return to something familiar.
28. What does the underlined part “mental chatter” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Getting lost in a book.
B. Non-stop inner anxiety.
C. Chatting with the author.
D. Powerful network of brain.
29. What do we know about reading according to the text
A. It can treat our headache.
B. It can calm down the noisy people.
C. It forces us to concentrate.on thinking.
D. It makes us communicate with ourselves.
30. Why was it difficult for people to finish reading books in 2020
A. People bought too many books.
B. The books were too difficult to understand.
C. People just wanted to escape from the threat.
D. The life threat disturbed people's focus on books.
31. Why is the author's experience mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To rid people of concern for safety.
B. To present an effective reading way.
C. To wake up memories of an old book.
D. To recommend the book he/she reads.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文，作者记述了2020年特殊时期读书的好处、人们读书时面临的困境及自己是如何有效读书的。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文 “Books can also distract us and help reduce our” 以及后文 “When we hit the ‘flow state' of reading where we're fully lost in a book, our brain's mode network calms down.”可知，当我们进入阅读的“流动状态”，完全沉浸在书中时，我们大脑的模式网络就会平静下来，由此可见书可以分散我们的注意力，帮助减少我们无休止的内心焦虑。故划线词意思是“无休止的内心焦虑”。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中 “You disconnect from the chaos around you. You reconnect with yourself when you are reading. And there's no more noise. (你脱离了周围的混乱。当你阅读的时候，你和自己重新建立了联系。没有更多的噪音）“可知，阅读可以使你和周围的混乱分离，使你和自己重新建立联系，也就是和自己交流。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中 “Yet even as people are buying more books, many are reporting they're having a harder time gelling through them. It's difficult for your brain to focus on a book when it's constantly scanning for threats to keep you alive. Our fight-or-flight response has been consistently activated. (然而，尽管人们买的书越来越多，很多人说他们很难把书读完。当你的大脑不断地扫描那些能让你生存下去的威胁时，你很难把注意力集中在一本书上。我们的战斗或逃跑反应一直被激活)”可知，在2020年人们很难读完一本书是因为对生命的威胁扰乱了人们对书籍的关注。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Then one day in December sitting on my couch, I remembered how much I like to read ‘The House of Mirth’ every few years around the holidays. The memory inspired me to pickup the familiar book, opened it up and started reading. I just kept going. The comfort and distraction and brain-opening experience gave me peace. So return to something familiar. (后来，在12月的一天，我坐在沙发上想起了自己是多么喜欢在每隔几年的假期里读《欢乐之家》。这段回忆激发了我，我拿起那本熟悉的书，打开看了起来。我只是继续读下去。这种舒适分散注意力、开阔大脑的体验给了我平静。回到熟悉的东西上来）” 结合上文提到人们无法集中精力读书的问题，本段提到作者的经历之后，提出回归到读熟悉的书的办法。可推知，最后一段提到了作者的经历是为了提出一种有效的阅读方式。故选B。
D
Sam, I say to myself as I start across the bridge, you must stop these thoughts and start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon, Frightful.
Life, my friend Ban do once said, is meeting problems and solving them whether you are an amoeba or a space traveller. I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they don't provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison now, I can't always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only road kill from in front of Mrs Strawberry's farm.
I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades down the south face of the mountain range I'm on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop.
Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corm and squash, bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I can't do that anymore.
I'm back where I started from.
Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the red-tailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches. I can almost hear her call my name, Cree, Cree, Cree, Car-ree.
Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines at the university. “But it's the law,” he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception of Alice and me. That won't work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States when he took office.
I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university, and she will have young.
I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet.
When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply of the mountain air and try to solve my problem more realistically.
32. What does this excerpt main describe
A. Delicate mental activities. B. Unique story environment.
C. Everchanging story events. D. Complicated character relationship.
33. What is Sam's first worry
A. How to get back quickly B. How to get enough venison.
C. How to ensure the safety of Frightful. D. How to provide meat for Alice and himself.
34. What do we know about Frightful
A. He left Sam and Alice due to lack of food. B. He helped Sam hunt before being taken away.
C. He is living with the red-tailed hawk happily. D. He has given birth to babies in the university.
35. Which of the following can best describe Sam
A. Humorous. B. Aggressive. C. Responsible. D. Unrealistic.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了原产于中国东南部的水果枇杷，以及林顺泉教授对枇杷产业的贡献。
【56题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：枇杷的叶子与一种中国古代乐器琵琶有相似之处。该空所给名词leaf意为“叶子”在句中做主语，枇杷树的叶子应该很多，且谓语动词bear使用了复数形式，所以主语也应使用复数形式。故填leaves。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：枇杷的叶子与一种中国古代乐器琵琶有相似之处。该处在文中首次提到中国的一种乐器，在句中做同位语，泛指一种乐器，应用不定冠词，且ancient发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
【58题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：这就是为什么它和乐器的中文发音相同的原因。主语that代指上一句，枇杷的叶子和琵琶形状相似，是表语从句中表示二者音相同的原因，故应用连接副词why引导表语从句。故填why。
【59题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：1988年在日本留学时，中国教授林顺泉发现枇杷的学名是“日本梅”，人们认为枇杷原产于日本。When引导的从句中，当主语和主句主语一致，且有be的某种形式时，可以省略从句的主语和be，完整的句子为when he was studying in Japan in 1988。故填studying。
【60题详解】
考查代词。句意：自1989年回国以来，林顺泉一直在努力纠正枇杷的名字。分析可知，该空应填形容词性物主代词修饰后文名词return。故填his。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意：1998年，他的论文《枇杷:植物与园艺》在专业杂志上发表，提出枇杷原产于中国。分析句子可知，该空需要形容词修饰名词journal，所给词为名词，其形容词professional符合题意。故填professional。
【62题详解】
考查谓语动词时态语态。句意：自2006年日本承认枇杷原产于中国以来，“中国梅”这个名字就被全世界所接受。分析句子，accept在句中作谓语，since…做时间状语，应使用现在完成时态，主语为name，应使用被动语态，注意主谓一致。故填has been accepted。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意：此外，林教授致力于枇杷种植技术的发展，帮助枇杷产业的发展。be committed to doing 表示“致力于做…”；此处省略be，用形容词作状语。故填committed。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：由于种植枇杷的技术要求高，劳动力成本高，很少有年轻人愿意接手。固定短语due to表示“由于，因为”，符合句意。故填to。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：林顺全还与阿里巴巴合作建立了一个直接基地，吸引了年轻人回到家乡开网店。分析句子可知，该空应填关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a direct base，并指代先行词，在从句中作主语。故填which。
