It has been proved that certain classical music compositions have a positive impact on treatment for some diseases. Music is also a powerful medicine for the soul. There is clear evidence that music serves as a relief and cure for mood disorders. Music can help us getthrough difficult emotions. When we are absorbedin music， our worries seem to fade away. Inaddition， music enables us to turn an ordinary event into something more enjoyable. Moreover， learning to play musical instruments，performing in a band or singing in a choir on stage， can enhance learning performance， improve social skills and develop teamwork and persistence.
Music is also a source of entertainment. Nowadays，various music competitions provide capableperformers with an opportunity to compare with others. Although the efforts and energies of the participants who aim to win awards may end in vain somehow， they do display their talent and may succeed one day.
Altogether music has a unique power in remarkable and complex ways， and thus it’s reasonable to assume that we human beings are a musical species.

一、阅读理解
A
Pain and sadness are things most of us have experienced， or probably will. After all， they are part of human life and we need them at least one time to become fully adult. But there is no question that the experience can be disastrous.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness again. That may sound conflicting. A recent study from Germany found listening to sad music could bring a feeling of empathy（同感） and a desire to connect with others. That， itself， is a psychological recovery. It draws you away from concentrating on your life， and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another study， from the University of Kent， found that when people were experiencing sadness， listening to music that was "beautiful but sad" could improve their moods. In fact， it did so when people first consciously embraced（欣然接受） their awareness of the situation causing their sadness， and then began listening to sad music. That is， when they believed that sad music might help， they found that it did.
These findings are linked with other studies that show embracing your sad situation — accepting reality as it is — quickens your recovery and growth. In short， acknowledging your negative experience brings you hope — another seeming paradox. For example， research from Cornell University， which was published in PsychologicalScience， found that embracing discomfort about a life experience or new situation and viewing it as a step towards growth and change provided motivation to find a pathway through it.
As Winston Churchill said， "If you’re going through hell， keep going." That discomfort points you towards creating a plan and taking new action. It fuels hope.
本文是说明文。研究发现，听悲伤的音乐可以帮助人们重新感受喜悦和希望，激活同理心和与他人联系的欲望。
【词语积累】 disastrous adj.极糟糕的，灾难性的，完全失败的 pathway n.途径，行动路线 conflicting adj.冲突的，矛盾的 face up to sth.敢于面对，勇于正视（困难或不快之事）
【熟词生义】 fuel 常用义：n.燃料 文中义：v.助长，刺激，增加，加强

译文：另一个来自肯特大学的研究发现，伤心时听优美但悲伤的音乐能改善心情。
1. What message is conveyed in paragraph 1？
A. Life is not all roses.
B. Misfortunes never come alone.
C. Every coin has two sides.
D. Enough is better than too much.
解析 C 推理判断题。由第一段中的"they are part of human life and we need them ...the experience can be disastrous"可知，痛苦和悲伤是人类生活的一部分，我们至少需要经历一次这些来成长，但是毫无疑问，这些经历可能会是毁灭性的。由此可知，痛苦和悲伤既有好的一面，也有不好的一面，故C项切题。
2. What did research find about listening to sad music？
A. It can relieve a broken heart.
B. It is likely to help people feel confident.
C. It reminds people of the sufferings.
D. It keeps people in the state of concentration.
解析 A 细节理解题。由第二段中的"But research shows ... feel joy and hopefulness again"可知，研究发现度过心痛期的方法有很多，听悲伤的音乐就是其中一个重要的方法，故选A项。
3. Which of the following best explains "paradox" in paragraph 4？
A. Barrier. B.Contradiction.
C. Prediction. D. Tendency.
解析 B 词义猜测题。由画线词前的"embracing your sad situation...acknowledging your negative experience brings you hope"可知，欣然接受现实可以加快你的恢复和成长。简而言之，承认你的负面经历会给你带来希望。再结合画线词前的"another"及第二段中的"That may sound conflicting"可知，画线词的含义与conflicting的同属一个范畴。由此可推断，paradox应表达"自相矛盾（的情况）"的意思，故选B。
4. Why does the author mention Churchill’s word？
A. To show the power of famous sayings.
B. To persuade people to wake up to reality.
C. To explain the necessity of motivation.
D. To encourage people to face up to difficulties.
解析 D 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的"embracing discomfort about a life experience ... find a pathway through it"可知，欣然接受某种生活经历或新情况带来的不适，并将其视为迈向成长和改变的一步，会为你提供走出不适的动力。最后一段表明：这种不适会让你制订一个计划并采取新的行动。它能激发希望。再结合丘吉尔的话可知，此处提到丘吉尔的话应是为了鼓励人们要接受现实，直面困境，勇往直前。综上可知，本题选D。
B
Playing a rhythm-based（基于韵律的） game using musical instruments for eight weeks helps non-musicians become better at remembering recently seen faces； that is， their short-term memory for non-musical tasks improves.
There have been several studies showing that musicians tend to have better short-term memory than non-musicians when it comes to music-related tasks. It is less clear whether the benefit carries over to non-musical tasks or to non-musicians who are learning to play an instrument， and how the change might actually be seen in the brain.
Theodore Zanto at the University of California， San Francisco thinks the benefit will continue to exist. He and his colleagues randomly arranged for a group of 47 non-musicians to play either a tablet-based musical rhythm training game， which is similar to learning to hit a drum in time with a teacher， or a word search game for eight weeks. At the start and end of the eight weeks， participants took a short-term memory test to measure their ability to remember a face they saw seconds before. Only the group who played the rhythm training game showed an improvement on their initial scores.
Brainwave data recorded before and after the training showed an increase of activity in the right superior parietal lobe（上顶叶）， a brain region associated with encoding visual information and attention. This suggests， says Zanto， that the rhythm training is improving the brain’s ability to focus attention on a task to get it ready for changing what you are doing into memory.
The ability to remember and recognise faces tends to decline as we age， so any possible way to change that is important， says Josh Davis at the University of Greenwich. However， the effect demonstrated in this study should be shown in real-world facial recognition situations as well as in lab-based tests to be completely convincing， says Davis.
本文是说明文。研究发现，演奏乐器可以提高人的短期记忆。
【词语积累】 carry over（使）延伸，（使）继续下去 initial adj.最初的 convincing adj.令人信服的，有说服力的
1. Why did Theodore Zanto carry out the memory test？
A. To prove previous studies.
B. To make comparisons.
C. To confirm his prediction.
D. To explain a phenomenon.
解析 C 推理判断题。由第二段内容可知，有一些研究表明音乐人比其他人在与音乐相关的任务方面有更好的短期记忆，至于这一好处是否会延续到非音乐任务上或学习演奏乐器的非音乐人身上就不太清楚了。第三段提到Theodore Zanto认为这一好处会继续存在，他和他的同事组织47个非音乐人做游戏，并对他们进行了短期记忆测试。由此可推断，Theodore Zanto进行记忆力测试是为了证实他的预测。综上可知，本题选C。
2. What function is the right superior parietal lobe related to？
A. Training attention.
B. Recognising faces.
C. Visualizing memories.
D. Processing information.
解析 D 细节理解题。由第四段中的"the right superior parietal lobe（上顶叶）， a brain region associated with encoding visual information and attention"可知，右侧上顶叶是一个与处理视觉信息和注意力有关的大脑区域，故选D。
3. How does Davis find the study？
A. It has limitations.
B. It’s fully convincing.
C. It lacks systematicness.
D. It’s indeed pioneering.
解析 A 推理判断题。由最后一段中的"However， the effect demonstrated in this study should be shown in...in lab-based tests to be completely convincing"可知，他认为该研究有一定的局限性，还有待完善。综上可知，本题选A。
4. Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A. The Great Influence of Rhythm-based Games
B. The Practical Method of Preventing Memory Loss
C. Playing Instruments：a Way to Improve Short-term Memory
D. Rhythm Training：a Necessity for People with a Poor Memory
解析 C 标题归纳题。第一段是本文的主题段，再结合研究内容和结果可知，本文主要讲述的是演奏乐器可以提高人的短期记忆，故C项做文章的标题最佳。
【技巧点拨】 文章标题具有概括性、针对性的特点，要避免以偏概全、扩大范围或偷换概念等错误。做题时首先要快速浏览全文，找到主题段或主旨句。
二、完形填空

C. attractive D.worthwhile
解析 D 结合常识可知，当乐队成员了解到自己的作品对Huillo产生了积极的影响时，他们应是觉得自己所做的一切都是值得的（worthwhile）。interesting有趣的，necessary必要的，attractive有吸引力的。

C. flew D. circled
解析 A 此处指六年后，Coldplay再次到墨西哥演出，故选A，return表示"回来，返回"。

解析 C 下文提到"perform with them"，由此可知，此处指乐队邀请Huillo参加演出。make for促成；go through仔细琢磨，经历；participate in参加；take over接收，接管。C项符合语境。
12. A. support B.applause
C. respect D. trust
解析 B 下文提到"and cheers"，那么，空处所填词应与cheers感彩相同，此处说的是Huillo获得了掌声和喝彩声。support支持，帮助；applause掌声；respect尊重；trust相信。B项符合语境。
13. A. ambition B. desire
C. affection D. excuse

C. cooperating D. corresponding
解析 B 空前提到"becoming more social"，那么，此处指能与他人更好地交流，故选B，communicate表示"沟通，交流"。

解析 C 综合全文内容可知，Huillo和父亲去观看了Coldplay的演出，他们的歌曲对患有自闭症的Huillo产生了很大的影响，然后才有了Huillo后面的一系列改变。由此可推断，此处说的是"对我们来说，所有的一切都从那天Coldplay的音乐会开始（started）"。

文章主要介绍了在北京成立的中央民族乐团附属少年剧团的宗旨、活动、成立的原因以及巡演计划等。
1.were announced 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据语境，尤其是上文中的"launched""on Sunday"，此处描述过去的事情，应用一般过去时；主语"the group’s new productions and touring plans"与announce之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；且主语为复数，故填were announced。
2.aiming 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处所填词应为非谓语动词。句子主语the orchestra and QFun Theater与aim之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，且此处表示伴随状况，所以用现在分词aiming。
3.from 考查介词。from the angle of...表示"从……的角度"，为固定词组，故填from。
4.established 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处所填词在句中作定语，修饰theater group。theater group与establish之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，再结合句中的newly可知，该剧团已经成立，故填过去分词established。
5.imagination 考查名词。此处并列连词and连接的两个并列名词作宾语，故填imagine的名词形式imagination。
6.truly 考查副词。在where引导的定语从句中，所填词修饰谓语动词，应用副词，故填truly。
7.why 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，空处所填词引导表语从句。由上文内容可推知，此处说的是"那就是我们决定建立该少年剧团的原因"，故填why。
8.an 考查冠词。tour为可数名词，此处表示泛指，应填不定冠词；international的发音以元音音素开头，故填an。
9.original 考查形容词。所填词作定语修饰play，故填origin的形容词形式original。
10.are preparing 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。由时间状语Now可知，此处用现在进行时表示现在动作在进行，主语all the members与prepare为主谓关系，故填are preparing。Unit 5 Music
