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.
5.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.
6.What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Lead to. B.Increase.
C.Prevent. D.Break into.
7.Why can music mend a broken heart
A.Because it has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
B.Because it can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
C.Because it helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
D.Because it can help patients recover in a slow way.
8.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 Minds and Bodies
语篇导读:本文主要说明了音乐对人的大脑和心理产生的积极影响。阅读本文有利于培养学生热爱音乐的意识。
答案及剖析:
5.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第二段第一句“A recent study suggests that preterm babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.”可知,最近的一项研究表明,早产儿在听音乐时,似乎经历的痛苦更少,吃得更多。故音乐可以帮助早产儿减少痛苦。故选A。
6.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中猜测词义的能力。根据画线部分所在句“Though music cannot make deafness disappear,it really can stave off the loss of hearing.”可知,stave off意思为“延缓,推迟,阻止”。故选C。

语篇导读:本文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。阅读本文有利于培养学生热爱音乐、热爱生活的意识。
答案及剖析:
1.powerful 考查形容词。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.had 考查时态。句意: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.or 考查连词。“无论……还是……”的固定表达为whether...or...。故填or。
4.older 考查比较级。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.to express 考查非谓语动词。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.such 考查结果状语从句。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.dropping 考查非谓语动词。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.that/which 考查定语从句。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.laughter 考查名词。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。

Eve was having a party! She had been given a karaoke set for her birthday,so she invited all her friends round for a special competition evening.The best singer would win a prize of a huge box of her delicious cookies.
Everyone came along:Helen,Jane,and Peter,who looked a bit nervous.“Don’t worry,Peter.We’re only here to have some fun,” said Eve kindly.Jane was first up on stage(舞台).The minute she began to sing,everyone could tell she’d been practicing! Next,it was Helen’s turn.Her voice was not as strong as Jane’s,but she had a great sense of rhythm(节奏) and seemed to enjoy being on stage.All the girls took their turn singing.There were a few wrong notes,but all in all,everyone had a wonderful time.
“Come on,Peter.It’s your go now!” said the girls.But Peter shook his head.“No,thanks.I’d be totally hopeless!” he said.“If you like,we can sing together.It won’t be as scary (可怕的)that way!” offered Eve.Peter gave in.He and Eve shared the microphone (话筒) and they began to sing a rock song.At first,you could hardly hear the voice of the shy boy but slowly,encouraged by his friends,he forgot his stage nervousness.Soon,Peter was holding the microphone on his own and singing his heart out! His singing was a bit off-key (走调的),but he made up for that by his performance.He danced around the stage like a real rock star!
At the end of the song,the girls all cheered.Eve stepped forward and handed him the big box of home-made cookies.“Peter,we all agree that you’ve won the prize!” she said.“OK,you may not exactly sing like an angel,but you really know how to put on a show!”

You might have noticed that the ringing sound of basketballs was almost like the beat to a song.But did you know that it could be taken seriously as music
The music group STOMP has taken everyday objects and turned them into instruments.The music it has created is a hit all over the world.
STOMP was formed by British musicians Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas.They met in the early 1980s when they were both working as buskers,the British term for street performers.Cresswell and McNicholas were part of a busking group called Pookiesnackenburger that became very popular throughout Britain.
Cresswell was a drummer (鼓手) for the group.Because they performed on the street,he could not set up a traditional drum set.Instead,he wore one drum that hung around his shoulders.To be able to make different sounds,Cresswell began beating on everyday objects that he could find during performances.This creative drumming led to the idea for STOMP.
STOMP made its first public appearance at London’s Bloomsbury Theater in 1991.The performers used one-of-a-kind instruments,such as empty water bottles,basketballs,and matchboxes to create music.Wearing overalls and T-shirts,they danced around on a stage made to look like a closed warehouse (仓库).STOMP was a great success,winning many theater awards and drawing huge crowds (人群).
In 1994,STOMP came to the United States and played at the Orpheum Theater in New York City.Years later it is still playing there! To celebrate its ten-year anniversary (周年纪念),the then New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg renamed the street outside the theater STOMP Avenue.
STOMP has now toured all over the United States and most of the world.One reason STOMP is so popular is that anyone can enjoy it.There are no words or story.People from all cultures can understand it,no matter which language they speak.
4.What makes STOMP a special music group
A.There are few words in its music.
B.It usually performs in warehouses.
C.The performers wear special clothes.
D.It uses everyday objects as instruments.
5.What can we learn about STOMP
A.It was created in 1980.
B.It was formed in Britain.
C.It was named after a street.
D.It was part of Pookiesnackenburger.
6.Who was behind the creative idea for STOMP

C.Steve McNicholas.
D.Michael Bloomberg.
7.Which shows the correct order of the following events
a.STOMP began performing at the Orpheum Theater.

c.Michael Bloomberg named a street STOMP Avenue.
d.Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas worked as buskers.

However,on the day of my college interview in Bath,I woke up late.I left the house wearing two odd shoes and didn’t notice that my bottle of chocolate milk had poured all over the painting in my bag.Then when I finally got to the station,I got on the wrong train.Who knows,if I had gone to Bath that day,I might have become a professional artist.But I went to Sweden instead.I told the woman next to me on the train about what had happened,and she suddenly cried with laughter.It turned out she was a producer of a comedy program on the radio.To cut a long story short,I got an invitation a week later to attend an interview for a show,and the rest,as they say,is history.I am very lucky,and my life has been full of happy accidents.Now I am in charge of a very popular TV comedy program.

Miss Bianca Monica,a junior here at Marymount Manhattan College,is currently sifting (筛选) her way through New York City,working towards her dream of making rock music with high quality that you only hear occasionally.
“It was a journey.I wanted to study communications and learn how things work in the music industry,”explained Monica.This is a young lady who knows what she wants and is putting in the effort to achieve it.Born a Jersey girl,Monica knew she was made to be in New York.
With the overpowering support Monica receives from her hometown,it’s obvious that such a backbone helps her step into the studio.At a young age of 14,Monica led a rock band.After the Robbery,the band saw huge success;they played numerous live performances around the city.Monica has also performed solo at the now closed Angels and Kings.
When asked about her choice in style,her eyes light up with a great passion.
“When writing my new record,we tried doing the dance route;then I realized:this is not me.Rock is in my blood.I just love music that makes you feel like your whole soul is pouring out of your body,”voiced Monica.
For a 21-year-old,Monica possesses the passion of someone who’s been writing music forever.Her musical style,with a heavy diet in that old rock and roll music,shares some similar features with 90s music.
When the Jersey girl isn’t in her usual studio,you can find Monica hanging around,going to shows,and enjoying the beauty of inspiration all around NYC.In late spring,Monica hopes to schedule a variety of shows to promote her new EP.Until then,you simply cannot miss out on hearing this wonderfully talented rock star.

Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults.Indeed it is.Scientific studies have proven it.Music has so many good effects on our body,mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music.Then,is music good for children Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music.But some parents don’t know the importance of music to children.Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First,music is good for children’s intelligence.Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music.This is because the brain gets stimulated(刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing(抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress.Today’s children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork.Being under too much stress impairs children’s health.Luckily,listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children’s moods.Some children are sad by nature.They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don’t take interest in their surroundings.In such cases,a method known as “music therapy” comes to their rescue.It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn.Our world has become a global village.People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries.Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children.So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.

A.why adults should listen to music
B.children should listen to music

Physical education,or gym class,isn’t required for all high school students.In some schools,it isn’t offered for some different reasons.But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports.But as is known to all,doing sports is very important for an adult.Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy.Many students are under a lot of stress.Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life.Doing sports can help them deal with stress better,helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症).Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger.However,some activities such as video games and computer activities,don’t get teens to move around.The increase in such activities means that many teens don’t get their required exercise.Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Inactivity increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases.An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems.As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes,according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness,Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN),students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的) performance.Students from programs with no physical activity,who used the extra time for classroom study,did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
32.According to Paragraph 3,what does physical education in high school mean
A.Helping teens learn to make good plans.
B.Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.
C.Removing the stress faced by teens at school.
D.Making teens pay more attention to exercise later.
33.What does the underlined word “hindered” in Paragraph 5 mean
A.Applied. B.Prevented.
C.Designed. D.Preferred.
34.According to the PCFSN,doing sports .
A.helps students do better in their studies
B.helps students keep fit
C.helps students make good use of all their time
D.makes students choose between sports and studies
35.What is the text mainly about
A.How high school students can live a better life.
B.How schools can help students love doing studies.
C.Why some schools consider physical education important.
D.Why high school students should receive physical education.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,讲述了上体育课、做运动对青少年的身体和学习都有好的影响。阅读本文有利于培养学生注重身心健康的意识。
答案及剖析:
32.C 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第三段“High school isn’t that easy.Many students are under a lot of stress.Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life.Doing sports can help them deal with stress better,helping them live a happier life at school.”可知,运动可以帮助学生更好地释放压力,说明高中体育可以消除青少年在学校面临的压力。故选C。
33.B 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中猜测词汇意义的能力。根据第五段中的“An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems.As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes,according to the American College of Sports Medicine.”可知,积极的生活方式可以避免一些健康问题,所以改变生活方式可以阻止疾病,hindered在此处意为“Prevented(阻止)”。故选B。
34.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据最后一段中的“According to the President’s Council on Fitness,Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN),students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic performance.”可知,根据PCFSN的说法,做运动能帮助学生更好地学习。故选A。

54.C 根据上文和句中“he heard the washing machine beep”可知,杰里米在用洗衣机洗衣服,洗衣机发出嘟声,这意味着衣服“洗(washing)”好了。故选C。
55.D 根据上文可知,杰里米帮助生病的妈妈洗了衣服,由此可推断出,他对自己的做法是“自豪(proud)”的。故选D。

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,讲述了数百人参加了电影《我和我的祖国》首映式,并简单介绍了电影的主要内容。阅读本文有利于培养学生的爱国主义情怀。
答案及剖析:
56.waved 考查非谓语动词。两句主语不一致且无连词,为独立主格结构,Chinese flags和wave是逻辑上的被动关系,所以用过去分词表被动。故填waved。
57.which 考查定语从句。此处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a patriotic Chinese classic,指物,并在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。故填which。
58.originally 考查副词。修饰动词performed,只可用副词修饰动词。故填originally。
59.and 考查连词。分析句子结构可知,consists of和makes use of是并列谓语结构,用并列连词and。故填and。
60.achievements 考查名词单复数。由空前的形容词technological and cultural可知,此空用名词,因为是科技和文化两方面的成就,所以用名词的复数形式。故填achievements。
61.were devoted 考查时态和语态。固定搭配be devoted to意为“献身于”,主语who指代ordinary people,表示复数意义,用一般过去时,所以用were devoted。故填were devoted。
62.saw 考查时态。此空缺乏谓语动词,on Nov.18,2016是过去的时间,谓语动词用一般过去时。故填saw。
63.of 考查介词。固定搭配be full of,意为“充满了……”。故填of。
64.inspiring 考查形容词。此处缺乏形容词作定语,有关情感类的形容词,修饰人用-ed,修饰物用-ing,power是物,应用inspiring。故填inspiring。
65.them 考查代词。此处作宾语,故用宾格them。故填them。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My crippled (瘸腿) grandmother was dancing.I stood in the living room doorway,absolutely shocked.I heard her singing when I opened the door but did not want to interrupt her by shouting I had arrived.She was wearing beautiful dancing shoes and her legs obeyed her perfectly.As long as I could remember,she was once the pet of the dancing world.But it was all over after a sudden accident.She had always limped(一瘸一拐地走),helped with a cane(拐杖).
She turned around and saw me standing in the doorway.Her song ended,and her beautiful movements with it.Grandma turned towards the kitchen.She was walking with no difficulties in her beautiful shoes.I followed her,not believing my eyes.
“So...” I asked surprisedly but happily.“How did your leg heal(康复) ”
“To tell you the truth—my legs have been well all my life,” she said.
“But I don’t understand!” I said.“ I mean...You pretended all these years ”
“Very much so,” grandmother closed her eyes.“And for a very good reason.”
“What reason ”
“Your grandfather.”
“You mean he told you not to dance ”
“No,this was my choice.I am sure I would have lost him if I had continued dancing.I weighed fame (名声) and love against each other and love won.”
“We were talking about engagement (订婚) when your grandfather had to go to war.It was the most terrible day of my life when he left.I was so afraid of losing him,the only way I could stay peaceful was to dance.And then one day a letter came.There were only three sentences:‘I have lost my leg.I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom.It is best you forget about me.’”
Grandma continued to tell me that grandfather was in hospital and she made her decision not to give him up.She took her leave,and traveled away from the city.

Several weeks later,she returned.She had bought herself a cane and wrapped her leg tightly with bandages.She told everyone she had been in a car crash and that her leg would never completely heal again.Her dancing days were over.No one suspected the story—She had learned to limp convincingly before she returned home.Then she traveled to the hospital.She saw my grandfather seated in his wheelchair with a cane on the ground nearby.
She took a deep breath,leaned on her cane and limped to grandfather.She told him she had an accident and a leg was injured seriously.She showed him two engagement rings she had bought the day after he left for the war.“I was not going to waste them on any other man,” grandma said to him.Then grandfather bent to take his cane from the ground but grandma was not going to help.And so he managed it on his own and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.
