八、阅读理解
A
If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent person.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments (试验) on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease following operation. They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi's “The Four Seasons” did much better on language ability tests than without music.” Facts suggest that exercise improves the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together.” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after working out with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well being. It helps reduce stress, sadness and nervousness; encourages relaxation or sleep; wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts. In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had head hurts before and after operation. “The Four Seasons” was used because of its moderate tempo (舒缓的节拍) and positive results in earlier research. “Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system (神经系统) and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability,” Emery said. Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s.By 1990,psychologists were using Mozart's music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders. Mozart was chosen because his music is not over exciting and has clear structures. A study showed students who listened to Mozart went on to score higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
1. Exercising and music can make you _________.
A. clever B. tired C. fool D. sad
2. The underlined word enhance can be replaced by _________.
A. impress B. improve C. provide D. produce
3. The text mainly tells us that ________.
A. music and exercise lead to relaxation or sleep
B. 33 volunteers work on music in medical fields
C. exercise to music makes people healthy and bright
D. scientists give suggestions on choosing music to exercise
4. It can be learned from the last paragraph(段落) that _________.
A. you are supposed to follow your parents words
B. students should not listen to music before exams
C. you have no good reasons to exercise to music
D. music might help you to get higher grades in tests
5. Which of the following statements is true
A. Exercise seems to cause negative changes without music.
B. Exercise reminds people with head hurts of what they've learned.
C. Scientists often use Mozart's music, for it is not too exciting.
D. “The Four Seasons” is used to help children with speech disorders.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. D 5. D
【解析】本文主要讲述了音乐的重要作用。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“If music makes you smarter”，可知音乐能让人变得聪明。故选A。
2.词句理解题。根据第二段中的句子“They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi's “The Four Seasons” did much better on language ability tests than without music.””，可知音乐能起促进作用。可推测听音乐可提高理解力。可以用improve“提高，改善”来替换，故选B。
3.主旨大意题。由于本文围绕音乐的重要作用来写的。根据句子“exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent person”和“Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well being.”，可知，音乐可使人们变得健康、聪明。选项C说明了这一点，故选C。
4.细节理解题。根据文中的句子“A study showed students who listened to Mozart went on to score higher marks in an intelligence test.”，可推测听音乐可能帮助在考试中取得更高的分数。故选D。
5.细节理解题。根据文中的句子“psychologists were using Mozart's music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders.”可知，心里学家利用莫扎特的音乐帮助患有语言障碍的儿童。所以D符合原文题意，故选D。
B 还原短文
Americans use many expressions with the word dog. Dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression “to lead a dog’s life” describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 1. Only those who are capable will have the chance to work in the best company. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard to meet the standards of their strict bosses. Such hard work can make people dog-tired, which means no matter how noisy it is, tired people can enjoy a sound sleep like a sleepy dog.
2. If so, they will have no energy to work at all.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. 3. So never try to teach your grandfather at the age of 90 to use a smartphone.

Learning to Forgive Others
I will always remember what happened to me this morning. When I got up, I found my mother didn't make breakfast for me because she got up late. So I had to go to school without breakfast. And when I was going to put on my school uniform, I found my mother forgot to wash it. It made me unhappy. Later, I knew my mother didn't sleep well at night because of her headache. I felt sorry for her. What's more, when I went to school by bike, I knocked down an old man. I thought he would be hard on me, but he said, “Never mind. Be careful next time!” I was deeply moved.
From these two things I know we should learn to understand each other. Society is like a big family. As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become much more beautiful.Unit 11 Sad movies make me cry.

If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent person.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments (试验) on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease following operation. They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi's “The Four Seasons” did much better on language ability tests than without music.” Facts suggest that exercise improves the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together.” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after working out with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well being. It helps reduce stress, sadness and nervousness; encourages relaxation or sleep; wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts. In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had head hurts before and after operation. “The Four Seasons” was used because of its moderate tempo (舒缓的节拍) and positive results in earlier research. “Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system (神经系统) and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability,” Emery said. Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s.By 1990,psychologists were using Mozart's music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders. Mozart was chosen because his music is not over exciting and has clear structures. A study showed students who listened to Mozart went on to score higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
1. Exercising and music can make you _________.
A. clever B. tired C. fool D. sad
2. The underlined word enhance can be replaced by _________.
A. impress B. improve C. provide D. produce
3. The text mainly tells us that ________.
A. music and exercise lead to relaxation or sleep
B. 33 volunteers work on music in medical fields
C. exercise to music makes people healthy and bright
D. scientists give suggestions on choosing music to exercise
4. It can be learned from the last paragraph(段落) that _________.
A. you are supposed to follow your parents words
B. students should not listen to music before exams
C. you have no good reasons to exercise to music
D. music might help you to get higher grades in tests
5. Which of the following statements is true
A. Exercise seems to cause negative changes without music.
B. Exercise reminds people with head hurts of what they've learned.
C. Scientists often use Mozart's music, for it is not too exciting.
D. “The Four Seasons” is used to help children with speech disorders.

Americans use many expressions with the word dog. Dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression “to lead a dog’s life” describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 1. Only those who are capable will have the chance to work in the best company. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard to meet the standards of their strict bosses. Such hard work can make people dog-tired, which means no matter how noisy it is, tired people can enjoy a sound sleep like a sleepy dog.
2. If so, they will have no energy to work at all.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. 3. So never try to teach your grandfather at the age of 90 to use a smartphone.
Sometimes, people say love me, love my dog. It means if you love someone, you will like all that belongs to him, including his weakness and mistakes.
4. For example, a woman might get mad at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary. She might tell him that he is in the doghouse. She may not treat him nicely until he says sorry.
5. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain cats and dogs. This means we do not want it to rain too hard. Because we are going to get soaked in the heavy rain.
A. They believe old people aren’t willing to learn new things and change their ways.B. And, the situation will be even worse if they become sick as a dog.C. They take their dogs for a walk on sunny days and dress them beautifully.D. Husbands and wives use the doghouse term when they are angry at each other.E. This means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.F. So when the dog gets sick, take him to the hospital at once!G. Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.
