Giving children music lessons won't just introduce them to music—it can also greatly improve their language skills, but it isn't clear whether this is a side effect(意外的连带后果) of general improvement on cognitive(认知的) skills, or something that directly affects language processing.
Nowadays, we are getting closer to an answer, thanks to a study of 74 Chinese kindergarten children, led by Robert Desimone from MIT. For the study, Desimone's team chose children from the Chinese education system, with the support of education officials who wanted to see how it might improve their learning.
The 4- to 5-year-old Mandarin-speaking children in the study were divided into three groups. One group received a 45-minute piano lesson three times a week, while another received extra reading instruction classes. The third group acted as the control(对照标准) group, taking no extra lessons beyond their usual classes.
The classes lasted for six months, after which the children were tested on their ability to tell words based on differences in tones, consonants(辅音), or vowels(元音). The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at telling the difference between words that differ by a single consonant, when compared with the children who took extra reading pared to the control group, both the music learners and the extra reading group did better at telling the difference between words based on vowel differences.
“It looks like for recognizing differences between sounds, including speech sounds, music is better than extra reading. That means schools should pay more attention to music,” Desimone said. “It's not worse than giving extra reading to the children, which is probably what many schools are trying to do—get rid of the art education and just have more reading.”
1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Music.
B.The Chinese education.
C.A study of children's schooling.
D.Improvement on cognitive skills.
2.What did the third group learn in the study
A.Ways to improve their study.
B.Extra lessons in reading tips.
C.Three extra piano lessons a week.
D.Nothing else except their usual studies.
3.Which was one of the results of the study
A.The piano played a key part in kids' learning.
B.Children taking piano lessons didn't perform well.
C.Learning music determined kids' interest in study.
D.The extra reading group was good at telling vowels.
4.What can we conclude from what Desimone said
A.Many schools value art education.
B.It isn't wise to cut back on music lessons.
C.Schools will decrease reading classes.
D.Children who learn music perform better at school.

Amazing Benefits of Listening to Music
If you love listening to music, you're in good company. Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental and physical health. 1
Music lowers stress and improves health.
2 This is an important finding since stress causes many illnesses. To stay calm and healthy during a stressful day, turn on the radio.
Music reduces depression.
More than 350 million people suffer from depression around the world. Music can benefit depressive patients, depending on the type of music. 3 But techno and heavy metal make people down even more. When you feel low, put on some classical or relaxing music to increase positive moods.
4
Softening the lighting and music can lead people to eat fewer calories and enjoy their meals better. If you're looking for ways to reduce your appetite(食欲), try dimming the lights and listening to soft music next time you sit down for a meal.
Music raises IQ and school performance.
Taking music lessons predicts higher school performance and IQ in young children. In one study, children who took singing lessons learned better than children who took other lessons unrelated to music. If you want to help your children achieve excellence in their studies, you can let them take music lessons. 5
A.Music helps you eat less.
B.Music gives you hope and confidence.
C.Classical music and relaxing music keep people's spirits up.
D.Here are some amazing benefits of being attracted by music.

(2024安徽安庆第一中学期中)
The piano, ever since its creation, has had a great impact on the world's music. I have been playing the piano since I was four. I wasn't going to 1 money through it—so there must have been something worth holding on to, right
The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with 2 and the piano that I couldn't 3 to let them go, even though my life got busier. However, I used to 4 a lot with the piano. Peers who played the instrument 5 placed me in competition. I felt pressure to improve and be the best to 6 myself. Gradually, my 7 in music was developed in 8 and doubt.
It's 9 to love something that you don't choose from your heart. I didn't choose the piano; for a while, it was more of a nuisance (讨厌的事物) than a hobby. But somehow, sometime, 10 grew. By high school, I found something that made it worth it for me to 11 for my own connection to the art. And I met teachers who 12 me and helped me turn the nuisance into what I loved. I found confidence not because I got good enough but because I learned that anything I had was 13 enough to be loved.
The love and hate I've had for the piano were 14 and grown. Neither was innate(与生俱来的) or long-lasting. If you hate something not chosen by yourself, put your devotion to it and love can make a 15 in its place.

UNIT 5 MUSIC
Part 2 Discovering Useful Structures & Listening and Talking
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.addition 2.impact 3.equipment
易错归因
本题容易根据设空处前面的a lot of错填equipments, a lot of既可以修饰可数名词复数,又可以修饰不可数名词, equipment是不可数名词。
Ⅱ.1.for 考查介词。句意:她为她的两个孩子都有音乐天赋而感到自豪。have a talent for...为固定搭配, 表示“对……有天赋”。故填for。
2.To 考查介词。句意:令我们大为宽慰的是,考试原来并不像我们想象的那么难。to one's relief意为“令某人感到宽慰的是”,设空处位于句首,首字母应大写。故填To。
3.assumption 考查名词。句意:遗憾的是,他的行为建立在一个错误的假设之上。设空处作介词on的宾语,且由设空处前面的不定冠词a可知此处应用名词单数。故填assumption。
4.out 考查固定短语。句意:毕业后,汤姆参加了市篮球队的选拔并成功了。try out for为固定短语,意为“参加……选拔(或试演)”。故填out。
5.of 考查介词。句意:我们非常喜欢我们的英语老师,因为她能使她的课堂有趣。be capable of doing sth.意为“有能力做某事”。故填of。
6.previously 考查副词。句意:这所高中比我以前就读的那所大。设空处作状语修饰从句中的谓语,应用副词。故填previously。
7.of 考查介词。句意:虽然这种药可以治愈你的疾病,但是它对你有副作用。cure sb. of sth.意为“治愈某人的某种疾病”。故填of。
8.gradually 考查副词。句意:这家公司将逐渐增加适合老年人的健身课程。设空处作状语修饰谓语,应用副词。故填gradually。
9.composition 考查名词。句意:我的队友就如何写一篇好的作文给我提了一些建议,包括以下步骤。设空处作write的宾语,且由设空处前面的不定冠词a可知此处应用单数名词。故填composition。
10.to help 考查动词不定式。句意:这个项目力求帮助学生培养科学技能、环保意识和健康的生活方式。aim to do sth.意为“力求做某事”,动词不定式作宾语。故填to help。
Ⅲ.题型(一)
1.surprised 考查过去分词作表语。设空处作表语,主句的主语为We, 此处指“她被那所名校录取的消息令我们感到惊讶”, 表示“(人感到)惊讶的”, 应用过去分词surprised。
2.puzzled 考查过去分词作表语。设空处作表语,主句的主语为The students,此处指“学生们对墙上的现代艺术作品感到困惑,因为它们太抽象了”,表示“(人感到)困惑的”,应用过去分词puzzled。
3.attracted 考查过去分词作状语。句意:几年后,由于仍然被这个国家吸引,他回到乌兹别克斯坦,写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章。设空处作原因状语,且提示词attract与其逻辑主语he之间是被动关系,应用过去分词。故填attracted。
4.Priced 考查过去分词作状语。句意:标价332美元,这双鞋将会在下个月某个时候上市。本句已有谓语动词,因此设空处应用非谓语动词的某种形式,且提示词price与其逻辑主语the shoes之间是被动关系,应用过去分词作状语;设空处位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Priced。
5.astonished;astonished 考查过去分词作表语和定语。第一空作表语,主语为She,此处指“她听到这个消息很惊讶,站在那里一动不动,脸上带着惊讶的表情”,表示“(人感到)惊讶的”,应用过去分词astonished;第二空作定语,修饰后面的名词look,修饰人的表情应用过去分词astonished。
易错归因
本题的第二空容易错填astonishing。一般情况下过去分词astonished修饰人,表示“感到惊讶的”。现在分词astonishing修饰事或物,表示“令人惊讶的”,但是在修饰voice、look、expression等名词时,我们要注意分清句子所表达的含义,就像本题,表示人带有感到惊讶的表情应用过去分词astonished,如果是表示令别人感到惊讶的表情,则用现在分词astonishing。
题型(二)
1.given 考查过去分词作状语。本句的谓语是can help,但是本空给出的提示词是动词,因此要用非谓语形式;a service robot与give之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作状语。故填given。
2.Employed 考查过去分词作状语。本句的谓语是can make,但是本空给出的提示词是动词,因此要用非谓语形式;a service robot与employ之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作状语。故填Employed。
3.reduced 考查过去分词作宾语补足语。分析句子可知,parents spend doing the household chores为省略了引导词的定语从句,修饰前面的time,设空处与前面的make the time构成“make+宾语+宾补”结构, the time与reduce之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填reduced。
4.collected 考查过去分词作状语。分析句子可知,collect与其逻辑主语glassware之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作状语。故填collected。
5.Designed 考查过去分词作状语。本句的谓语是 are gaining,但是本空给出的提示词是动词,因此要用非谓语形式;service robots与design之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作状语。故填Designed。

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明,让孩子们上音乐课不仅会将他们引入旋律的世界,而且还会显著提高他们的语言技能。学校不应该削减音乐课程,而应该更加关注音乐课程。
1.A 词义猜测题。第一段提到给孩子们上音乐课不仅可以让他们了解音乐,还可以大大提高他们的语言技能,由此可知,此处是说“音乐会如何提高他们的学习”。故选A。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The third group acted as the control group, taking no extra lessons beyond their usual classes.”可知,第三组除了平常的课程外没有额外的课程。故选D。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Compared to the control group, both the music learners and the extra reading group did better at telling the difference between words based on vowel differences.”可知,与对照组相比,音乐学习者和额外阅读组在基于元音差异的单词区分方面都做得更好,即额外阅读组擅长分辨元音。故选D。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“That means schools should pay more attention to music”可知,Desimone认为学校应该更加关注音乐,由此可推断,削减音乐课程不是明智的。故选B。
【高频词汇】 1.thanks to幸亏;由于 2.be divided into...被划分为…… 3.(be) based on...基于……
4.compared with/to...与……相比 5.get rid of丢弃;扔掉;摆脱 6.cut back on削减
长难句
原句 The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at telling the difference between words that differ by a single consonant, when compared with the children who took extra reading lessons.
分析 本句为主从复合句。showed后面是that引导的宾语从句;who had taken piano lessons为who引导的定语从句,修饰前面的先行词the children;that differ by a single consonant为that引导的定语从句,修饰前面的先行词words;when compared with the children是状语从句的省略形式;who took extra reading lessons为who引导的定语从句,修饰前面的先行词the children。
译文 测试结果显示,与上过额外阅读课的孩子相比时,上过钢琴课的孩子在区分只有一个辅音不同的单词方面表现得更好。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了听音乐对人的益处:它不仅能陶冶情操,还有益于身心发展。
1.D 过渡句。根据上文“Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental and physical health.”可知,D项“这里有一些被音乐吸引的惊人的好处”承接上文,同时又能引出下文中的具体的好处,符合语境。故选D。
2.E 细节句。根据本段标题“Music lowers stress and improves health.”可知,E项“听你喜欢的音乐可以减轻你身体的压力”阐述的是同一话题,且空后句中的This指的是E项中提到的“听音乐可以减压”,所以E项符合语境。故选E。
3.C 过渡句。根据上文“Music can benefit depressive patients, depending on the type of music.”可知,C项“古典音乐和令人放松的音乐使人精神振奋”承接上文,通过举例指出有哪些音乐对抑郁症患者有益;而下文“But techno and heavy metal make people down even more.”通过对比来突出古典音乐和令人放松的音乐所起到的作用,所以C项符合语境。故选C。
4.A 主旨句。设空处为本段标题。根据本段中的“Softening the lighting and music can lead people to eat fewer calories and enjoy their meals better.”和“reduce your appetite”可知,本段主要介绍音乐和食物之间的关系,A项“音乐帮助你吃得更少”能够概括本段内容,适合作为段落标题。故选A。
5.F 细节句。根据上文可知,音乐课对孩子的学业表现有积极的影响,如果你想帮助你的孩子在学习上取得优异成绩,你可以让他们上音乐课。F项“或者你可以通过鼓励他们唱歌或学习演奏乐器”承接上文,指出了可以通过鼓励孩子唱歌或者学习演奏乐器来帮助孩子在学习上取得更好的成绩,这与上文的做法一致,都是与音乐有关的,所以F项符合语境。故选F。
【高频词汇】 1.lower v.减少 2.stress n.压力 stressful adj.压力大的 3.suffer from遭受;忍受 4.soften v.使(光、颜色或声音)变柔和 5.unrelated adj.不相关的 6.excellence n.优秀;杰出
【熟词生义】 1.company n.陪伴;做伴 2.put on播放
3.sharp adj.聪明的
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己学习乐器的经历说明热爱是能够培养的。
1.B 根据下文“so there must have been something worth holding on to, right”提到一定有值得坚持的东西,由此可知,此处应表示作者不打算通过它赚钱——所以一定有值得坚持的东西。make money意为“赚钱”。raise提高;save节省;exchange交换。故选B。
2.C 根据上文“The piano, ever since its creation, has had a great impact on the world's music.”提到钢琴和音乐的关系,由此可知,此处应表示作者总是如此纯粹地热爱音乐(music)和钢琴。singing歌唱;performance表演;relaxation放松。故选C。
3.B 根据上文“I was always so purely in love with 2 and the piano”和下文“even though my life got busier”可知,作者总是如此纯粹地热爱音乐和钢琴,以至于她无法忍受让它们离开,即使她的生活变得更加忙碌。bear to do sth.意为“忍受做某事”,符合语境。plan to do sth.计划做某事;refuse to do sth.拒绝做某事;expect to do sth.期待做某事。故选B。
4.C 根据下文“I felt pressure to improve”可知,此处应表示作者曾经在钢琴方面很吃力(struggle)。practice练习;compare比较;gain获得。故选C。
5.D 根据下文“placed me in competition”和“I felt pressure to improve”可知,此处应表示同样弹钢琴的同龄人经常(often)把作者当作竞争对象。seldom很少;hardly几乎不;never从不。故选D。
6.C 根据语境可知,此处表示作者对提升并做最好的自己来证明自己感到有压力。prove oneself意为“证明某人自己”。introduce 介绍;express表达;teach教。故选C。
7.A 根据上文提到的作者曾经在钢琴方面很吃力和空前的“Gradually”可知,此处应表示渐渐地,作者对音乐的兴趣(interest)在竞争和怀疑中发展起来了。ability能力;knowledge知识;information信息。故选A。
8.B 根据上文提到的弹钢琴的同龄人经常把作者当作竞争对手可知,此处应表示作者对音乐的兴趣是在竞争(competition)和怀疑中发展起来的。adventure冒险;confidence自信;failure失败。故选B。
9.C 根据下文“to love something that you don't choose from your heart”和常识可知,你很难(difficult)去爱一个不是发自内心选择的东西。wise明智的;natural自然的;strange奇怪的。故选C。
10.B 根据上文“I didn't choose the piano;for a while, it was more of a nuisance than a hobby.”和转折词But可知,此处应表示但不知何故,在某个时候,热爱(love)滋生了。safety安全;chance机会;trust信任。故选B。
11.D 根据下文“And I met teachers who 12 me and helped me turn the nuisance into what I loved.”可知,此处应表示作者发现了一些值得她为自己与艺术的联系而奋斗(fight)的东西。care在意;leave离开;wait等待。故选D。
12.A 根据下文“helped me turn the nuisance into what I loved”可知,作者遇到了一些老师,他们鼓励了(encouraged)作者。thank感谢;ignore忽视;follow跟随。故选A。
13.D 结合语境可知,作者找到了自信,不是因为她变得足够好,而是因为她知道她拥有的任何东西都足够好(good),值得被爱。simple简单的;quiet安静的;expensive昂贵的。故选D。
14.D 根据下文“and grown...long-lasting.”可知,作者对这架钢琴的爱与恨被播种(planted)并成长了。miss错过;weaken(使)虚弱;stop停止。故选D。
15.A 根据上文“put your devotion to it”和下文“in its place”以及上文作者讲述自己学习钢琴的经历可知,对某个东西投入热爱,爱就可以在这个地方找到家(home),即会爱上它。 rule规则;wish愿望;move移动。故选A。
【高频词汇】 1.worth adj.值得的 2.hold on to留住 3.pressure n.压力 4.improve v.提升 5.doubt n.怀疑 6.connection n.联系 7.devotion n.热爱;奉献
长难句
原句 The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and the piano that I couldn't bear to let them go, even though my life got busier.
分析 本句为主从复合句。第一个that引导表语从句,表语从句中含有so...that...引导的结果状语从句;even though引导让步状语从句。
译文 很容易猜到,我总是如此纯粹地热爱音乐和钢琴,以至于我无法忍受让它们离开,即使我的生活变得更加忙碌。

(2024安徽安庆第一中学期中)
The piano, ever since its creation, has had a great impact on the world's music. I have been playing the piano since I was four. I wasn't going to 1 money through it—so there must have been something worth holding on to, right
The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with 2 and the piano that I couldn't 3 to let them go, even though my life got busier. However, I used to 4 a lot with the piano. Peers who played the instrument 5 placed me in competition. I felt pressure to improve and be the best to 6 myself. Gradually, my 7 in music was developed in 8 and doubt.
It's 9 to love something that you don't choose from your heart. I didn't choose the piano; for a while, it was more of a nuisance (讨厌的事物) than a hobby. But somehow, sometime, 10 grew. By high school, I found something that made it worth it for me to 11 for my own connection to the art. And I met teachers who 12 me and helped me turn the nuisance into what I loved. I found confidence not because I got good enough but because I learned that anything I had was 13 enough to be loved.
The love and hate I've had for the piano were 14 and grown. Neither was innate(与生俱来的) or long-lasting. If you hate something not chosen by yourself, put your devotion to it and love can make a 15 in its place.

答案与分层梯度式解析
UNIT 5 MUSIC
Part 2 Discovering Useful Structures & Listening and Talking
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.addition 2.impact 3.equipment
易错归因
本题容易根据设空处前面的a lot of错填equipments, a lot of既可以修饰可数名词复数,又可以修饰不可数名词, equipment是不可数名词。
Ⅱ.1.for 考查介词。句意:她为她的两个孩子都有音乐天赋而感到自豪。have a talent for...为固定搭配, 表示“对……有天赋”。故填for。
2.To 考查介词。句意:令我们大为宽慰的是,考试原来并不像我们想象的那么难。to one's relief意为“令某人感到宽慰的是”,设空处位于句首,首字母应大写。故填To。
3.assumption 考查名词。句意:遗憾的是,他的行为建立在一个错误的假设之上。设空处作介词on的宾语,且由设空处前面的不定冠词a可知此处应用名词单数。故填assumption。
4.out 考查固定短语。句意:毕业后,汤姆参加了市篮球队的选拔并成功了。try out for为固定短语,意为“参加……选拔(或试演)”。故填out。
5.of 考查介词。句意:我们非常喜欢我们的英语老师,因为她能使她的课堂有趣。be capable of doing sth.意为“有能力做某事”。故填of。
6.previously 考查副词。句意:这所高中比我以前就读的那所大。设空处作状语修饰从句中的谓语,应用副词。故填previously。
7.of 考查介词。句意:虽然这种药可以治愈你的疾病,但是它对你有副作用。cure sb. of sth.意为“治愈某人的某种疾病”。故填of。
8.gradually 考查副词。句意:这家公司将逐渐增加适合老年人的健身课程。设空处作状语修饰谓语,应用副词。故填gradually。
9.composition 考查名词。句意:我的队友就如何写一篇好的作文给我提了一些建议,包括以下步骤。设空处作write的宾语,且由设空处前面的不定冠词a可知此处应用单数名词。故填composition。
10.to help 考查动词不定式。句意:这个项目力求帮助学生培养科学技能、环保意识和健康的生活方式。aim to do sth.意为“力求做某事”,动词不定式作宾语。故填to help。
Ⅲ.题型(一)
1.surprised 考查过去分词作表语。设空处作表语,主句的主语为We, 此处指“她被那所名校录取的消息令我们感到惊讶”, 表示“(人感到)惊讶的”, 应用过去分词surprised。
2.puzzled 考查过去分词作表语。设空处作表语,主句的主语为The students,此处指“学生们对墙上的现代艺术作品感到困惑,因为它们太抽象了”,表示“(人感到)困惑的”,应用过去分词puzzled。
3.attracted 考查过去分词作状语。句意:几年后,由于仍然被这个国家吸引,他回到乌兹别克斯坦,写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章。设空处作原因状语,且提示词attract与其逻辑主语he之间是被动关系,应用过去分词。故填attracted。
4.Priced 考查过去分词作状语。句意:标价332美元,这双鞋将会在下个月某个时候上市。本句已有谓语动词,因此设空处应用非谓语动词的某种形式,且提示词price与其逻辑主语the shoes之间是被动关系,应用过去分词作状语;设空处位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Priced。
5.astonished;astonished 考查过去分词作表语和定语。第一空作表语,主语为She,此处指“她听到这个消息很惊讶,站在那里一动不动,脸上带着惊讶的表情”,表示“(人感到)惊讶的”,应用过去分词astonished;第二空作定语,修饰后面的名词look,修饰人的表情应用过去分词astonished。
易错归因
本题的第二空容易错填astonishing。一般情况下过去分词astonished修饰人,表示“感到惊讶的”。现在分词astonishing修饰事或物,表示“令人惊讶的”,但是在修饰voice、look、expression等名词时,我们要注意分清句子所表达的含义,就像本题,表示人带有感到惊讶的表情应用过去分词astonished,如果是表示令别人感到惊讶的表情,则用现在分词astonishing。
题型(二)
1.given 考查过去分词作状语。本句的谓语是can help,但是本空给出的提示词是动词,因此要用非谓语形式;a service robot与give之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作状语。故填given。
2.Employed 考查过去分词作状语。本句的谓语是can make,但是本空给出的提示词是动词,因此要用非谓语形式;a service robot与employ之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作状语。故填Employed。
3.reduced 考查过去分词作宾语补足语。分析句子可知,parents spend doing the household chores为省略了引导词的定语从句,修饰前面的time,设空处与前面的make the time构成“make+宾语+宾补”结构, the time与reduce之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填reduced。
4.collected 考查过去分词作状语。分析句子可知,collect与其逻辑主语glassware之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作状语。故填collected。
5.Designed 考查过去分词作状语。本句的谓语是 are gaining,但是本空给出的提示词是动词,因此要用非谓语形式;service robots与design之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作状语。故填Designed。
能力提升练
Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明,让孩子们上音乐课不仅会将他们引入旋律的世界,而且还会显著提高他们的语言技能。学校不应该削减音乐课程,而应该更加关注音乐课程。
1.A 词义猜测题。第一段提到给孩子们上音乐课不仅可以让他们了解音乐,还可以大大提高他们的语言技能,由此可知,此处是说“音乐会如何提高他们的学习”。故选A。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The third group acted as the control group, taking no extra lessons beyond their usual classes.”可知,第三组除了平常的课程外没有额外的课程。故选D。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Compared to the control group, both the music learners and the extra reading group did better at telling the difference between words based on vowel differences.”可知,与对照组相比,音乐学习者和额外阅读组在基于元音差异的单词区分方面都做得更好,即额外阅读组擅长分辨元音。故选D。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“That means schools should pay more attention to music”可知,Desimone认为学校应该更加关注音乐,由此可推断,削减音乐课程不是明智的。故选B。
【高频词汇】 1.thanks to幸亏;由于 2.be divided into...被划分为…… 3.(be) based on...基于……
4.compared with/to...与……相比 5.get rid of丢弃;扔掉;摆脱 6.cut back on削减
长难句
原句 The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at telling the difference between words that differ by a single consonant, when compared with the children who took extra reading lessons.
分析 本句为主从复合句。showed后面是that引导的宾语从句;who had taken piano lessons为who引导的定语从句,修饰前面的先行词the children;that differ by a single consonant为that引导的定语从句,修饰前面的先行词words;when compared with the children是状语从句的省略形式;who took extra reading lessons为who引导的定语从句,修饰前面的先行词the children。
译文 测试结果显示,与上过额外阅读课的孩子相比时,上过钢琴课的孩子在区分只有一个辅音不同的单词方面表现得更好。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了听音乐对人的益处:它不仅能陶冶情操,还有益于身心发展。
1.D 过渡句。根据上文“Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental and physical health.”可知,D项“这里有一些被音乐吸引的惊人的好处”承接上文,同时又能引出下文中的具体的好处,符合语境。故选D。
2.E 细节句。根据本段标题“Music lowers stress and improves health.”可知,E项“听你喜欢的音乐可以减轻你身体的压力”阐述的是同一话题,且空后句中的This指的是E项中提到的“听音乐可以减压”,所以E项符合语境。故选E。
3.C 过渡句。根据上文“Music can benefit depressive patients, depending on the type of music.”可知,C项“古典音乐和令人放松的音乐使人精神振奋”承接上文,通过举例指出有哪些音乐对抑郁症患者有益;而下文“But techno and heavy metal make people down even more.”通过对比来突出古典音乐和令人放松的音乐所起到的作用,所以C项符合语境。故选C。
4.A 主旨句。设空处为本段标题。根据本段中的“Softening the lighting and music can lead people to eat fewer calories and enjoy their meals better.”和“reduce your appetite”可知,本段主要介绍音乐和食物之间的关系,A项“音乐帮助你吃得更少”能够概括本段内容,适合作为段落标题。故选A。
5.F 细节句。根据上文可知,音乐课对孩子的学业表现有积极的影响,如果你想帮助你的孩子在学习上取得优异成绩,你可以让他们上音乐课。F项“或者你可以通过鼓励他们唱歌或学习演奏乐器”承接上文,指出了可以通过鼓励孩子唱歌或者学习演奏乐器来帮助孩子在学习上取得更好的成绩,这与上文的做法一致,都是与音乐有关的,所以F项符合语境。故选F。
【高频词汇】 1.lower v.减少 2.stress n.压力 stressful adj.压力大的 3.suffer from遭受;忍受 4.soften v.使(光、颜色或声音)变柔和 5.unrelated adj.不相关的 6.excellence n.优秀;杰出
【熟词生义】 1.company n.陪伴;做伴 2.put on播放
3.sharp adj.聪明的
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己学习乐器的经历说明热爱是能够培养的。
1.B 根据下文“so there must have been something worth holding on to, right”提到一定有值得坚持的东西,由此可知,此处应表示作者不打算通过它赚钱——所以一定有值得坚持的东西。make money意为“赚钱”。raise提高;save节省;exchange交换。故选B。
2.C 根据上文“The piano, ever since its creation, has had a great impact on the world's music.”提到钢琴和音乐的关系,由此可知,此处应表示作者总是如此纯粹地热爱音乐(music)和钢琴。singing歌唱;performance表演;relaxation放松。故选C。
3.B 根据上文“I was always so purely in love with 2 and the piano”和下文“even though my life got busier”可知,作者总是如此纯粹地热爱音乐和钢琴,以至于她无法忍受让它们离开,即使她的生活变得更加忙碌。bear to do sth.意为“忍受做某事”,符合语境。plan to do sth.计划做某事;refuse to do sth.拒绝做某事;expect to do sth.期待做某事。故选B。
4.C 根据下文“I felt pressure to improve”可知,此处应表示作者曾经在钢琴方面很吃力(struggle)。practice练习;compare比较;gain获得。故选C。
5.D 根据下文“placed me in competition”和“I felt pressure to improve”可知,此处应表示同样弹钢琴的同龄人经常(often)把作者当作竞争对象。seldom很少;hardly几乎不;never从不。故选D。
6.C 根据语境可知,此处表示作者对提升并做最好的自己来证明自己感到有压力。prove oneself意为“证明某人自己”。introduce 介绍;express表达;teach教。故选C。
7.A 根据上文提到的作者曾经在钢琴方面很吃力和空前的“Gradually”可知,此处应表示渐渐地,作者对音乐的兴趣(interest)在竞争和怀疑中发展起来了。ability能力;knowledge知识;information信息。故选A。
8.B 根据上文提到的弹钢琴的同龄人经常把作者当作竞争对手可知,此处应表示作者对音乐的兴趣是在竞争(competition)和怀疑中发展起来的。adventure冒险;confidence自信;failure失败。故选B。
9.C 根据下文“to love something that you don't choose from your heart”和常识可知,你很难(difficult)去爱一个不是发自内心选择的东西。wise明智的;natural自然的;strange奇怪的。故选C。
10.B 根据上文“I didn't choose the piano;for a while, it was more of a nuisance than a hobby.”和转折词But可知,此处应表示但不知何故,在某个时候,热爱(love)滋生了。safety安全;chance机会;trust信任。故选B。
11.D 根据下文“And I met teachers who 12 me and helped me turn the nuisance into what I loved.”可知,此处应表示作者发现了一些值得她为自己与艺术的联系而奋斗(fight)的东西。care在意;leave离开;wait等待。故选D。
12.A 根据下文“helped me turn the nuisance into what I loved”可知,作者遇到了一些老师,他们鼓励了(encouraged)作者。thank感谢;ignore忽视;follow跟随。故选A。
13.D 结合语境可知,作者找到了自信,不是因为她变得足够好,而是因为她知道她拥有的任何东西都足够好(good),值得被爱。simple简单的;quiet安静的;expensive昂贵的。故选D。
14.D 根据下文“and grown...long-lasting.”可知,作者对这架钢琴的爱与恨被播种(planted)并成长了。miss错过;weaken(使)虚弱;stop停止。故选D。
15.A 根据上文“put your devotion to it”和下文“in its place”以及上文作者讲述自己学习钢琴的经历可知,对某个东西投入热爱,爱就可以在这个地方找到家(home),即会爱上它。 rule规则;wish愿望;move移动。故选A。
【高频词汇】 1.worth adj.值得的 2.hold on to留住 3.pressure n.压力 4.improve v.提升 5.doubt n.怀疑 6.connection n.联系 7.devotion n.热爱;奉献
长难句
原句 The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and the piano that I couldn't bear to let them go, even though my life got busier.
分析 本句为主从复合句。第一个that引导表语从句,表语从句中含有so...that...引导的结果状语从句;even though引导让步状语从句。
译文 很容易猜到,我总是如此纯粹地热爱音乐和钢琴,以至于我无法忍受让它们离开,即使我的生活变得更加忙碌。
