  Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing power of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
4. How does music affect preterm babies
A. It helps reduce their pain.
B. It helps develop their potential in music.
C. It helps improve their hearing systems.
D. It helps repair their neurological systems.
5. What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Lead to.   B. Increase.
C. Prevent. D. Break into.
6. Why can music mend a broken heart
A. It has a positive effect on human body systems ’ work.
B. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
C. It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
D. It can help patients recover in a slow way.
7. What may be the best title for the text
A. Who can benefit from music
B. The best time to listen to music
C. The way to choose quality music
D. How music affects our mind and body

  As COVID-19 continues to spread among humans around the world, conservationists(环境保护主义者)are warning of its possible danger to another group: Africa ’s endangered mountain gorillas(大猩猩). Congo ’s Virunga National Park is home to about 30 percent of the world ’s mountain gorillas.
  The park is closed until June 1 because scientists believe the gorillas may be able to catch COVID-19. Mountain gorillas can get some diseases that humans get. A simple cold can kill a gorilla, says the Worldwide Fund for Nature. That is why park visitors are not allowed to get too close to gorillas. Rules call for a 7-meter distance between gorillas and humans.
  Conservationists have welcomed the decision. Paula Kahumbu leads the Kenya-based conservation group WildlifeDirect. She says that “every possible effort must be made” to protect mountain gorillas because so few are left in the wild.
  Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka is the leader of the Uganda-based Conservation Through Public Health. She noted a study done this year by her organization and Ohio University. She said the study showed that the rule separating gorillas and tourists was not effective.
  Kalema-Zikusoka said the study showed that the seven-meter rule was useless almost every time a group of visitors entered the park. She said visitors were responsible for that about sixty percent of the time. In the other cases, it was the gorillas that moved too close to the humans.
  Uganda has not announced a shutdown of gorilla park tourism. However, the number of visitors from Europe and other places has sharply reduced.
  Mountain gorillas have been listed as endangered since 1996. But their population is now growing. Tourism brings much foreign money into Rwanda and Uganda. The money got from tourism is important in efforts to protect mountain gorillas. Officials can use it to help local communities. Some observers worry a fall in tourism during the COVID-19 crisis(危机)could endanger gorillas.
8. Why is the Congo ’s Virunga National Park closed
A. Because scientists have made some new rules.
B. Because scientists think gorillas may get COVID-19.
C. Because there are no tourists during the COVID-19 crisis.
D. Because there is no money to run it.
9. According to the text, Kalema-Zikusoka thinks________.
A. the 7-meter rule is useful
B. the visitors are breaking the rule all the time
C. we can not separate gorillas and tourists effectively
D. every possible effort must be made to protect the gorillas
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The money from tourism has a great effect on the protection of gorillas.
B. The money from tourism could endanger gorillas in Africa.
C. The number of gorillas is getting smaller in Rwanda than Uganda.
D. Gorillas could easily catch COVID-19 in Rwanda and Uganda.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Gorillas Are in Danger
B. COVID-19 Affects the Tourism
C. The Outbreak of COVID-19
D. COVID-19 Could Endanger Gorillas
Ⅱ. 语法填空
  Music is one of the most 1.________ (power) things in my life. Listening to music can help to motivate me in trying time. When younger, I 2. ________ (have) no great love for music as I do now. I mainly listened to what my parents were listening to. Whether I was in the car, the house, 3. ________ anywhere else there was sure to be some Beatles, or Buddy Holly constantly playing in the background. Now as I ’m 4.________ (old), I enjoy it for the reason that it allows me to remember my childhood.
I believe music has the power 5.________ (express) all sorts of emotions. The song A little bit longer by Jonas Brothers is 6.________ an emotional and inspiring song that when I hear it, I always can ’t help 7.________ (drop) down tears, especially when I watch it being played live. The effect 8.________ music can have on our emotions is great, as it can bring people to floods of tears or bursts of 9.________ (laugh).
I believe music affects people in many ways. To me, music is 10.________  (extreme) important in my life. I think it brings me closer to my friends and family.

【文章大意】文章主要介绍了作者对音乐的喜爱, 和音乐对作者的重要性, 以及作者对音乐的理解。
1. 【解析】powerful。考查形容词。句意: 音乐是我生命中最强大的东西之一。分析句子结构可知, 空格处应作为things的定语, 所以用形容词形式。故填powerful。
2. 【解析】had。考查时态。句意: 当小的时候, 我对音乐的喜爱不如现在。根据句意可知, “对音乐不喜爱”是过去的事情, 所以用一般过去时。故填had。
3. 【解析】or。考查连词。句意: 无论我在车里, 家里, 还是在任何其他地方, 肯定播放一些Beatles或者Buddy Holly的歌作为背景音乐。“无论……还是……”的固定表达为whether. . . or. . . 。故填or。
4. 【解析】older。考查比较级。句意: 现在, 当我长大一些了, 我喜欢音乐的原因是它可以让我记起童年。联系上下文, 此句是和上文的When younger, I________(have) no great love for music as I do now. 进行对比, 上文用younger, 故此处用older。故填older。
5. 【解析】to express。考查不定式作定语。句意: 我相信音乐有表达各种各样感情的力量。此处用不定式to express作为名词power的后置定语, power to do sth. 做……的力量。故填to express。
6. 【解析】such。考查结果状语从句。句意: 由Jonas Brothers演唱的A little bit longer是一首如此富有情感和启发性的歌, 以至于我听到它就禁不住流泪, 尤其是看现场演唱时。根据句意可知, 此处应为结果状语从句“如此……以至于……”, 又因为an emotional and inspiring song的中心词是名词song, 故用固定结构such. . . that. . . 。故填such。
7. 【解析】dropping。考查动名词作宾语。句意: 由Jonas Brothers演唱的A little bit longer是一首如此富有情感和启发性的歌, 以至于我听到它就禁不住流泪, 尤其是看现场演唱时。根据固定搭配can ’t help doing可知, 此处应该用动名词形式。故填dropping。
8. 【解析】that/which。考查定语从句。句意: 音乐给我们带来的影响是巨大的, 因为它可以让人泪流不止或者哈哈大笑。分析句子结构可知, 此处是定语从句, 定语从句________music can have on our emotions中缺少宾语, 故用关系代词, 先行词是effect, 指物, 所以用that或者which。故填that/which。
9. 【解析】laughter。考查名词。句意: 音乐给我们带来的影响是巨大的, 因为它可以让人泪流不止或者哈哈大笑。句中of是介词, 其后应该接名词性质的词, laugh的名词形式是laughter。故填laughter。

  I ’m delighted to know that you are going to sign up for the Chinese Songs Competition held in your community. I ’m glad to recommend a song to you.
  A classic Chinese song called The Moon Represents My Heart is popular among many listeners. It was made famous by a singer named Teresa Teng (Deng Lijun), who was known as the queen of pop music in Asia. The song, using the moon as a symbol of love and concern, is really beautiful. That ’s why it has been loved by people of all ages. Moreover, the words are simple, so you will have no difficulty learning it.
  I hope you will like the song.
Yours,
Li Hua

  In 1957, Max Vernon Mathews wrote the first computer program called Music, which enabled a computer to create sound and play it back. He was then working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. It enabled a large IBM computer to play a seventeen-second piece of music he had written.
  The computer was so slow that it took an hour to play the seventeen-second piece of music. So Mathews moved the work to a tape player to play the music at a normal speed. He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great, but the technical importance of the music was huge.
  The science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke visited Bell Laboratories in the 1960s. He heard a computer “sing” the song Daisy Bell on devices (设备) and learned about the programs developed by Mathews and other engineers. Clarke noted this technology in his book 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was later made into a movie.
  Mathews continued creating other versions of the music program. He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios. The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances.
  He also developed an electronic device he called the Radio Baton, which looks like two drum sticks. It enables the user to control the speed and sound levels of orchestral music (管弦乐) played on a computer by moving the two sticks on a special electronic surface.
  Mathews said he believed modern musicians were not making full use of the power of computer music. He said a violin always sounds like a violin. But with his music, the way a violin sounds is unlimited. He did not want computer sounds to replace live music, but he hoped computers would one day be considered serious instruments.
4. Why did Clarke visit Bell Laboratories
A. To make his book into a movie.
B. To help Mathews develop music.
C. To satisfy his own curiosity about music.
D. To gather materials for his literary creation.
5. What electronic music tools did Mathews create
A. Something used to record live music.
B. Something used to create special sound.
C. Something used to improve computer music.
D. Something used to create computer music.
6. What does Mathews think of his music
A. It is more pleasant to the ear.
B. It can help make more sounds.
C. It will finally replace the violin.
D. It is more popular than live music.
7. What can we learn about Mathews
A. He is the father of computer music.
B. His creation succeeded on the first try.
C. He wrote music to replace instruments.
D. He changed the functions of computers.

Can you imagine a world without music Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students ’ academic growth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.
  Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education were better in maths and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by the College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students ’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.
  Music programmes in public schools also help to add to a student ’s sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and other troubles. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse found that students who took part in school music programmes were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programmes encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.
  Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally, they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.
  The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.
1. What can we learn about education with music classes
A. It allows schools to make more profits.
B. It leads to a lot of emotional problems easily.

A. Not all students take part in music lessons.
B. Students with great success like to attend music lessons.
C. Music plays an important role in students ’ success.
D. Students having music classes are better in all lessons.
3. What can we learn from the example in Paragraph 4
