Listening to music can help me focus better. Since I discovered it two years ago, I’ve used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively. I’ve found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity.
I first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games. It was a few days before Christmas in 2008 and I was playing online video games. My parents had just given me a new MP3, so I decided to listen to music through the headphones while I played. After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play. I was playing more naturally. The music relaxed me, and, to a certain extent, distracted me from the game, allowing my subconscious（潜意识的）talent to come through. The music also helped me block out the outside world. With those headphones on I was like a machine, moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions.
Music can also have a great effect on mood. If I’m in a bad mood at work, I’ll listen to some of Bob Marley’s and get down to business. It always takes my mind off what I’m doing and makes me a happier person. The same is true for classic rock. One summer, I did a boring job collecting bottle openers by hand. Without a radio playing classic rock in the background, I would have hated life.
Listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive message helps you forget your work and think happy thoughts. But the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes. Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks. By trial and error you’ll finally discover your best choice. I’m always looking for new concentration aids, so I’d love to know what type of music works best for me.

________.
A. 2005 B. 2006

Alice always wanted to be a singer. Music was the most important thing in her life. She took lessons for years, practised every day, but in spite of all the efforts she made, her voice didn’t improve. In fact, it
didn’t get better, it just got louder.
Her teacher finally gave up and stopped the lessons, but Alice refused to give in, and one day she
decided to give a concert and invited her teacher to attend.
The teacher was very worried about what to say after the concert. She knew it would be terrible and it
was. She didn’t want to tell a lie, but she didn’t want to hurt Alice’s feelings either. Finally, she got an idea
and went backstage to greet her pupil.

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there , however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realising I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realised my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold out all the tickets.
44. The man learned _______ that there would be a
concert last Friday.
A. from his friends
B. from one of his workmates
C. over the radio
D. from the newspaper
45. He tried to go to the theatre every day but ma-
naged to get there only ______.
A. once B. twice
C. three times D. four times
46. One day the man took ______ to get to the thea-
tre by bus.
A. forty-five minutes
B. fifteen minutes
C. just twenty minutes
D. over an hour
47. The underlined word “relieved” may best be re-
placed by “______”.
A. surprised B. pleased
C. puzzled D. sorry
D

Top of the Pops is an amazing 34-year-old TV programme. Pop stars from all over the world appear on this successful TV programme. After 1, 800 shows, it’s still the most popular pop music show in Britain. So what’s the secret

There are bookings to make sure of letters to answer and lots of phone calls to make. The show is on Thursday. Bands arrive at the studio from 10 o’clock in the morning and start practising. Tonight’s presenter, Jo Whiley, practises too.
First the bands go to make-up. Judy and Issy are the make-up artists. “We see the stars with no make-up on, looking terrible,” says Issy. Then the bands go to the costume department where Marianne dresses the stars.
Back in the studio things are happening. The audience are practising their dance moves! It takes over two hours to record the whole programme, then Chris edits it all night long. The final version is exactly 29 minutes long.
48. What makes Top of the Pops still the most popular
in Britain

I like music very much, pop songs particularly. Every evening then I am doing homework and at weekends when I at home, I always play some of my favourite songs on my tape recorder. The familiar patterns of notes attracts me into the colourfully world of music. Now and then I stopped to follow the songs. Sometimes, my mother comes in, asking me to fix my attention to my homework. She does not like the pop music. Like most grown-ups, she enjoys folk songs, because the peaceful music reminds her of their beautiful life when she was young. It is a truth which people of different age understand music differently and enjoy different kinds of music.
答案与解析

One possible version:
Music is playing an important part in our study and daily life.
As we know, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere. When I feel depressed, listening to music can cheer me up. Besides, after a whole day’s hard work, listening to music enables me to feel relaxed, which reduces the tiredness. What’s more, I can learn a lot of knowledge by listening to music.
On the other hand, I think we must learn to choose inspiring music. As students, some kinds of music may have a bad effect on us. Also, if listening to music takes up too much time, it may affect our study. I don’t go in for loud popular music, which may disturb others.
In a word, music should make life better and help people become happier.
