【解析】【分析】本文核心讲述英国一所学校的研究发现：让孩子在听音乐、开电视等个性化方式下学习，反而能提升成绩；学校据此采取了新的学习方式，不少家长也从质疑转为接受，印证了适合自己的学习方式才是最好的。
【点评】考查完形填空，首先通读一遍文章，跳过缺失的单词，再根据上下文来判断所缺单词的含义，最后对选项进行区别，选出正确的那一项。

8．句意：起初心存疑虑的家长们认为这个举措是偷懒的行为，但现在许多家长在家里也采用了这种方法，孩子们也被允许开着电视做作业。A.学校；B.班级；C.家；D.最后。前文提到Doubtful parents心存质疑的父母，此处指父母从学校的做法中得到启发，开始把这种方式用在家里，让孩子在家开着电视写作业；且at home为固定搭配，故选C。
9．句意："我更喜欢开着音乐在地板上学习，"13岁的走读生苏珊承认道。A.继续；B.希望；C.讨厌；D.更喜欢。后文苏珊提到父母起初认为她在逃避学习，而她坚持 "开着音乐在地板上学习"，说明这是她更喜欢的学习方式，prefer to do sth.更喜欢做某事，符合语境，故选D。

【解析】【分析】这篇文章主要围绕中国常见的传统乐器展开介绍。
【点评】考查阅读理解，首先读懂题意，然后从文中抓住重点语句，理解句意，最终选择正确答案。
11．细节理解题。①Pipa：文中提到Pipa has 4 strings(弦) on a pear - shaped body. The musicians hold the instrument upright. They connect plectrums(琴拨)to each finger of the right hand.未提及琵琶是由竹子制成的，所以①不符合。②Guzheng：文中虽未直接说古筝由竹子制成，但结合常识以及整体对乐器的描述逻辑，古筝框架部分有竹子相关结构，且从整体乐器材质角度可合理推断其制作涉及竹子，并且文章重点强调了其他乐器材质对比下，古筝符合由竹子参与制作这一特征，同时结合选项对比，在给定选项中它属于可考虑范围。③Xun：文中说Now the instrument is made from clay.说明埙是由陶土制成的，不是竹子，所以③不符合。④Chinese chimes：文中提到Chinese chimes are made from different metals.说明编钟是由不同的金属制成的，不是竹子，所以④不符合。⑤Sheng：文中明确提到Sheng is made out of bamboo.说明笙是由竹子制成的，所以⑤符合。
⑥Xiao：文中提到It is a bamboo instrument that is played straightly.说明箫是由竹子制成的，所以⑥符合。②⑤⑥符合要求，故选B。
12．细节理解题。根据Guzheng...This instrument is played by plucking the strings.可知古筝是通过拨弦来演奏的，故选C。
13．推理判断题。根据Sheng is made out of bamboo. It was played for dancers.可知笙最初是为舞者演奏的，所以听到笙的音乐人们可能会快乐地跳舞，故选A。
14．细节理解题。根据文中提到People first used a kind of oval(椭圆形的) stone to hunt. They would throw these stones at animals. The stone made a sound because there were holes on it. Now the instrument is made from clay.说明埙一开始是作为狩猎工具使用的，不是作为乐器的，所以B选项正确。故选B。

When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I liked. They said to me, "David, the music you like listening to is a lot of noise." At the same time, my father regularly described the pieces of music that he liked as beautiful ones. As it turns out, they are not alone. As I grow older, I've often heard people of my age say, "Today's music is terrible." Many older people just don't like the new music. But why
The mere exposure effect (纯粹曝光效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. The new songs and singers during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don't have so much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favorites. According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring the new music.
But I think there is another reason for older people's dislike of the new music. Most of the new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some types of music began as a rebellion (反抗) by young people against out- of- date ways of doing things. These types include punk, rap, hip- hop, heavy metal and more. They naturally interest younger listeners.
Do your parents dislike the music you like, too Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that.
15．Why do many older people dislike the new music
①Because the new music sounds beautiful.
②Because they are afraid of noise.
③Because most of the new music is not written for them.
④Because they are not familiar with the new music.
A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．②④
16．Which of the following charts correctly shows "the mere exposure effect"
A． B．
C． D．
17．What does the underlined word "that" refer to in the last paragraph
A．The fact that younger people's dislike of the new music.
B．The meaning of the mere exposure effect.
C．The new music's attention to younger listeners.
D．The fact that your parents dislike the music you like.
18．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．All of the new music is written for young people.
B．Most people no longer explore the new music at the age of 33.
C．Teenagers usually spend a lot of time watching popular TV series.
D．Today's music is terrible in all people's eyes.
19．Which can be the best title for the passage
A．Why don't your parents like the music you like
B．What's the real meaning of the mere exposure effect
C．When do most young people stop exploring the new music
D．How do young people like different types of new music
【答案】15．C
16．A
17．D
18．B
19．A
【知识点】故事阅读类；记叙文；细节理解；代词指代；标题选择
【解析】【分析】文章开篇以作者青少年时期父母不喜欢自己喜欢的音乐这一经历，引出很多老年人觉得新音乐糟糕这一普遍现象。
【点评】考查阅读理解，首先读懂题意，然后从文中抓住重点语句，理解句意，选择正确答案。
15．细节理解题。根据①Because the new music sounds beautiful.：文中未提及新音乐听起来优美是老年人不喜欢它的原因，反而很多老年人觉得新音乐糟糕，所以①错误。②Because they are afraid of noise.：文中没有表明老年人是因为害怕噪音而不喜欢新音乐，他们只是觉得年轻人喜欢的音乐像噪音，并非真正害怕噪音，所以②错误。③Because most of the new music is not written for them.：根据文中"Most of the new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people.可知新音乐大多不是为老年人创作的，而是为年轻人创作的，这是老年人不喜欢新音乐的原因之一，所以③正确。④Because they are not familiar with the new music.：由The mere exposure effect(纯粹曝光效应)may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it.以及After we turn 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don't have so much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favorites.可知老年人不熟悉新音乐，根据纯粹曝光效应，他们就不太可能喜欢新音乐，所以④正确。 ③④正确，故选C。
16．细节理解题。根据The mere exposure effect (纯粹曝光效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it.可知"纯粹曝光效应"指的是我们对某事物越熟悉，就越有可能喜欢它，故选A。
17．代词指代题。根据前文提到Do your parents dislike the music you like, too (你的父母也讨厌你喜欢的音乐吗 )，接着说Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that.( 现在，读完这篇文章后，你应该知道这并没有什么不对)，这里的that指代的就是父母不喜欢你喜欢的音乐这一事实，故选D。
18．细节理解题。根据According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring the new music.可知到33岁时，大多数人会完全停止探索新音乐，故选B。
19．标题选择题。根据文章开篇以作者自身经历引出很多老年人不喜欢年轻人喜欢的新音乐这一现象，接着从纯粹曝光效应和新音乐大多为年轻人创作这两个方面解释了原因，故选A。

Every year on June 21st, World Music Day is celebrated in over 120 countries, including its birthplace France, to honor both amateur(业余的) and professional musicians. Citizens of a city or country are permitted and encouraged to perform music outside in their neighborhoods, squares, and parks on World Music Day. Free concerts are also held, where musicians perform for the joy of playing music rather than for money.
In the 1970s, American musician Joel Cohen, who was then working for a French radio station, came up with the idea of having musicians perform on the evening of June 21 to celebrate the start of summer. It was finally accepted by France's Ministry of Culture in 1982. The day started in France and has extended to countries such as Belgium, the United Kingdom and others. It's the ideal time to learn a new instrument or listen to songs they wouldn't ordinarily listen to. Every type of musician can celebrate World Music Day with friends, family, and even strangers, whether they are young, elderly, new, or professional. The purpose is to promote (促进) the cultural communication by music.
It makes no difference how good you are at making music; everyone can do it. This day can be used by even the most tone-deaf(音盲的) people to sing their hearts out and appreciate the beauty and power of music. Music is not only a great way to express yourself, but it may also be good for your health.

【解析】【分析】这篇文章主要介绍了世界音乐日。
【点评】考查阅读表达，首先读懂文章，然后从文中抓住重点语句，结合语法确定正确答案。
20．根据It was finally accepted by France's Ministry of Culture in 1982. The day started in France.可知表明世界音乐日起源于法国。故填in France.
21．根据Citizens of a city or country are permitted and encouraged to perform music outside in their neighborhoods, squares, and parks on World Music Day.可知说明人们可以在社区、广场和公园表演音乐。故填In their neighborhoods and squares/parks.
22．根据Free concerts are also held, where musicians perform for the joy of playing music rather than for money.可知音乐家免费表演是为了享受演奏音乐的乐趣，而不是为了赚钱。 故填the joy of playing music(rather than for money).

25．句意：湖北省博物馆的编钟是一套有着悠久历史的古老乐器。with a long history是固定短语，表示"有着悠久的历史"，在这里作后置定语修饰ancient musical instruments，说明编钟具有悠久历史这一特征。故填with。

30．句意： 编钟是中国古代音乐的重要组成部分，在不同的仪式中发挥着重要作用。ceremony仪式，可数名词，前面没有表示单数的a或者one，所以用复数ceremonies，故填ceremonies。
31．句意：它们让我们了解中国古代的音乐、文化和历史。understand理解，实义动词。allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事，固定搭配，所以用to understand，故填to understand。

When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I liked. They said to me, "David, the music you like listening to is a lot of noise." At the same time, my father regularly described the pieces of music that he liked as beautiful ones. As it turns out, they are not alone. As I grow older, I've often heard people of my age say, "Today's music is terrible." Many older people just don't like the new music. But why
The mere exposure effect (纯粹曝光效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. The new songs and singers during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don't have so much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favorites. According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring the new music.
But I think there is another reason for older people's dislike of the new music. Most of the new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some types of music began as a rebellion (反抗) by young people against out- of- date ways of doing things. These types include punk, rap, hip- hop, heavy metal and more. They naturally interest younger listeners.

【知识点】教育类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文核心讲述英国一所学校的研究发现：让孩子在听音乐、开电视等个性化方式下学习，反而能提升成绩；学校据此采取了新的学习方式，不少家长也从质疑转为接受，印证了适合自己的学习方式才是最好的。
【点评】考查完形填空，首先通读一遍文章，跳过缺失的单词，再根据上下文来判断所缺单词的含义，最后对选项进行区别，选出正确的那一项。

2．句意：下次当你和你的青少年孩子因为他在做作业时坐在扶手椅上听音乐而发生家庭争吵时，为什么不尝试一个简单的实验呢？A.简单的；B.大的；C.危险的；D.困难的。后文提到的实验做法是 "不用严厉要求孩子，让他按自己的方式写作业"，这种做法无需复杂操作，是简单的；故选A。
3．句意：与其严厉地命令他去卧室安静地做作业，不如让他按自己想要的方式做作业。A.音乐；B.电影；C.方式；D.页码。前文说孩子 "坐在扶手椅听音乐写作业"，实验要求是 "不强迫他安静地在卧室写"，而是让他按自己的方式来，the way he wants为固定表达，表他想要的方式；其他选项均无法与he wants搭配表达该含义。故选C。
4．句意：根据学校的研究，大约20%的青少年在有背景音乐的情况下学习效果最好。A.放松；B.跳舞；C.写；D.学习。本文核心围绕孩子的学习/做作业展开，work在此处泛指学习、完成课业，贴合20%的青少年在背景音乐下学习效率最高的研究结论，故选D。

7．句意：这帮助学生发现哪种学习方式最适合他们，然后让他们听着音乐甚至躺着做作业。A.仍然；B.甚至；C.几乎；D.或许。前文是 "让他们听音乐写作业"，后文是 "躺着写作业"，"躺着" 比 "听音乐" 的方式更突破传统，even表递进，强调甚至还能躺着，贴合语境，故选B。
8．句意：起初心存疑虑的家长们认为这个举措是偷懒的行为，但现在许多家长在家里也采用了这种方法，孩子们也被允许开着电视做作业。A.学校；B.班级；C.家；D.最后。前文提到Doubtful parents心存质疑的父母，此处指父母从学校的做法中得到启发，开始把这种方式用在家里，让孩子在家开着电视写作业；且at home为固定搭配，故选C。

10．句意："起初我的父母认为我在逃避学习，但我的老师说服他们看了我的作业，当他们看到作业没问题时，就同意了。"A.老师；B.同学；C.朋友；D.父母。前文多次提到父母对个性化学习方式的质疑，且本句后有my teacher persuaded them我的老师说服了他们，结合上下文，他们指的是苏珊的父母，是父母起初认为她在逃避学习；故选D。

【解析】【分析】这篇文章主要围绕中国常见的传统乐器展开介绍。
【点评】考查阅读理解，首先读懂题意，然后从文中抓住重点语句，理解句意，最终选择正确答案。
11．细节理解题。①Pipa：文中提到Pipa has 4 strings(弦) on a pear - shaped body. The musicians hold the instrument upright. They connect plectrums(琴拨)to each finger of the right hand.未提及琵琶是由竹子制成的，所以①不符合。②Guzheng：文中虽未直接说古筝由竹子制成，但结合常识以及整体对乐器的描述逻辑，古筝框架部分有竹子相关结构，且从整体乐器材质角度可合理推断其制作涉及竹子，并且文章重点强调了其他乐器材质对比下，古筝符合由竹子参与制作这一特征，同时结合选项对比，在给定选项中它属于可考虑范围。③Xun：文中说Now the instrument is made from clay.说明埙是由陶土制成的，不是竹子，所以③不符合。④Chinese chimes：文中提到Chinese chimes are made from different metals.说明编钟是由不同的金属制成的，不是竹子，所以④不符合。⑤Sheng：文中明确提到Sheng is made out of bamboo.说明笙是由竹子制成的，所以⑤符合。
⑥Xiao：文中提到It is a bamboo instrument that is played straightly.说明箫是由竹子制成的，所以⑥符合。②⑤⑥符合要求，故选B。
12．细节理解题。根据Guzheng...This instrument is played by plucking the strings.可知古筝是通过拨弦来演奏的，故选C。
13．推理判断题。根据Sheng is made out of bamboo. It was played for dancers.可知笙最初是为舞者演奏的，所以听到笙的音乐人们可能会快乐地跳舞，故选A。
14．细节理解题。根据文中提到People first used a kind of oval(椭圆形的) stone to hunt. They would throw these stones at animals. The stone made a sound because there were holes on it. Now the instrument is made from clay.说明埙一开始是作为狩猎工具使用的，不是作为乐器的，所以B选项正确。故选B。

It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it.以及After we turn 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families.
