III. The Effects of Music
Music is a big part of our lives. We use it for special occasions and to set the mood in movies and television shows. Music can help us pass the time or connect us to our roots. Listening to music takes the whole brain, and has many positive and beneficial effects.
Heals - Music can reduce chronic pain and improve depression. It does this by making the body release endorphins, slowing the breathing and heart rate, distracts the patient, and helps give the patient a feeling of control. It can strengthen the immune system and reduce blood pressure.
Makes you smarter - Music can help you learn better in reading, math, and reasoning skills. It can also improve memory. Certain types of music stimulate both sides of the brain, thereby enhancing learning, concentration, and retention. Musical training improves memory even more than just listening.
Improves physical performance - There is a reason why you see people running while listening to their iPod. Music decreases fatigue and improves motor reflexes. It can help people with movement disorders.
Improve productivity - Certain kinds of music lessen fatigue. Music can increase productivity by making workers mentally sharper.
Calms - Music can calm and relax. It reduces stress and negative emotions. It can also help you meditate.
Improves moods - Music can lessen depression. Research is proving what many cultures have known; that music heals and has positive psychotherapeutic uses.
Here are some words that describe what music can do to you and for you: soothe, excite, relax, stimulate, meditate, calm, enlighten, frighten, help you refocus, invigorate, stir your imagination, make you happy, lift your mood, restore, cure, heal, empower, stir, incite, lift your spirits, make you more alert, exhilarate, and bring about practically any emotion.
In summary, music is a lot more than a soundtrack to our lives; it is an integral part of our lives. Can you imagine a movie without some music? Would there even be entertainment without music? If you want to be healthy and smart, then music is the key. What people have known since ancient times is now being proven by research. Music is good for the body and soul.

拓展训练
Classical music
Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.
Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”

A Concert Review
Last night, 1,500 young people went to the Bournemouth Centre to see Elastica — a pop rock group with a growing number of fans. All the tickets were sold out and there was not an empty seat anywhere.
Elastica played short, 3-minute songs. Justine, the lead singer and guitarist in the group, proved that she’s a true performer. Although they are a traditional pop group, it’s nice to see the three girl guitarists at the front of the stage.
From the start, the fans were jumping up and down to the rhythm and they did not stop until the very end.
Everyone left the hall feeling excited. Although it was very cold in Bournemouth，a small crowd of fans were waiting outside. The group happily signed autographs before they got on to their tour bus and left.

Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work．They also listen to the news about sports，the weather，politics，and activities of the American people．Most of the radio broadcast is music．
Pop or popular music singers make much money．They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state．Once the pop singer is heard throughout the country，young people buy his or her tapes．Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer．Wherever the singer goes，all the young people want to meet him or her．Now the singer has become a national star．

You can be proud of yourselves，even if you can only make one or two of these green changes．The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases，which are closely associated with the big problem of global-warming．
Strategy 1：Bring your own cup to Starbucks．
You’ll get a 10-cent discount，and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin．
The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.
Strategy 2：Turn off your computer．
When in standby mode，your PC is still using energy．
Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month，but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds!
Strategy 3：Reuse plastic bags．
Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year，try and get a second，third，or tenth use out of them．Better yet，next time you shop，try a reusable bag．
You’re reducing pollution．The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile．
Strategy 4：Use recycled paper in the bathroom．
Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans．
If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one，424，000 trees would still be standing．Look for eco-paper towels too．
Strategy 5：Buy energy-efficient appliances(电器)．
Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you’ll use 15 percent less energy．It might be a little expensive to buy，but you’ll save money on your electricity bills and help the environment．
If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home，it would be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees．
Strategy 6：Plant a tree．
Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing．

答案解析：
单项选择
1．D [解析]考查形容词辨析。语境说水能吸收和释放很多热能，且不会引起温度的大变化，显然接下来要表达的是这可营造出一个相对“稳定”的环境，因此选D。A．平静的；B．敏感的；C．常见的。
2．B [解析]in brief简要地；in detail详细地；in general通常，大体上；in all总共。由句意可知选B。
3．C [解析]come up被提及，是不及物动词词组，没有被动语态。而come up with，put forward后需接宾语，故选C。
4．B [解析]根据语境“他经常工作到深夜”，可知此处用hard-working(努力工作的)。open-minded 思想开放的；self-confident 自信的：warm-hearted 热心的。
5．C [解析]考查形容词的辨析。句意为“约翰很值得信赖——如果他答应做某事，他一定会做的”。independent意为“独立的”；confident意为“自信的”；reliable意为“可信赖的”；flexible意为“灵活的”。
6．C [解析]句意为“不要再干那样的傻事了。否则，你以后会后悔的”。afterward或afterwards均为副词，意为“以后；后来”，符合题意；toward朝，向；forward向前。
7．D [解析]四个选项都可用作系动词，但意义有所不同。come后常接true，come true意为“成为现实”；get为表示“变得”的一般用语；go常表示向坏的方向发展或后面接表示颜色的词；grow表示一个渐进的过程，如grow rich/strong等。所以D项符合题意。
8．B [解析]in addition to 除……外，还……。句意为“除了业余时间，约翰把多数时间用来练习讲英语”。
9．B [解析]句意：植物的生长速度受多种因素的影响，这些因素中的大多数是我们不能控制的。因关系代词前有个介词of，故需用which引导。
10．C [解析]work out解决；make out辨认出，弄明白；sort out分类；figure out计算出。由句意可知C项符合题意。
11．B [解析]句意：这所特殊的学校招收所有的残疾学生，不管他们的教育水平或背景。regardless of不管，不顾，符合句意。A项意为“根据”；C项意为“除……之外”；D项意为“在……方面”。
12．A [解析]句意：我们把面粉、鸡蛋、糖和牛奶混合起来做成蛋糕。mix指把两种或多种东西混合在一起，形成难以区别的状态，常含有乱的意味；combine指混合后仍然保持原有的性质，并可以分离。
13．D [解析]考查定语从句。定语从句的先行词是Mount Qomolangrna，关系代词在从句中作介词的宾语，且介词提前，此处是非限制性定语从句，关系代词用which，根据题干意思可知该介词的意思应该为“在……之上”，故选D项。
14．B [解析]分析题干可知，空格之后为非限制性定语从句。从句可以还原成简单句the larger of the two buildings，故应该用关系代词which，指the two buildings。
15．D [解析]in which在从句中作地点状语，相当于关系副词where。
16. B。“never/not +比较级”结构相当于形容词或副词的最高级，所以选B。句意：布莱克很高兴，因为他们厂出产的衣服从来没有那么受欢迎过。
17. A。四个选项都表示“大量的，许多”。a great number of 修饰可数名词复数，符合题意。a good many 许多（修饰可数名词复数，无of）；a great deal of和a great amount of修饰不可数名词。
18. B。play an important part/ role in 在……中起重要作用。第二空要修饰的名词是society，意为“社会、社团”，作“社会”讲时是不可数名词，用原形表示泛指，不需要冠词修饰。因此选B。句意：妇女在社会上起着越来越重要的作用——她们举起了半边天。
完形填空
1. D。根据第一段开头refused to settle for the start of the lessons和第二段中的the children fell silent可知文章一开始作者试图开始上课，但是教室太吵闹。所以选quiet。
2. A。根据后文I thought —teaching was not for me可知，作者认为这是最后一次作为音乐老师上课。
3. B。根据前文My panic was raising and I could feel my heart beating wildly可知作者当时很生气很激动，但是没有办法，他试图不让学生发现他内心的情绪，用shaking表达作者内心强烈的情感。
4. A。根据第三段开头…my class lay their heads on their desk, closed their eyes…可知，此时作者要孩子们将头放在桌子上然后闭上眼睛。
5. C。Punctually准时地；Importantly重要地；Amazingly令人惊讶地；Obviously明显地。作者无意识的做法让学生安静下来，用amazingly表达作者的惊讶的心情。
6. D。passe on 继续传递；give back 还回；turned in 上交；take out 拿出。根据语境，应是作者随意取出一张ＣD。
7．C。根据下文When the music started, the room was filled with the most beautiful tones and musical colors可知，当作者将音乐放进机器里，学生们趴在自己的桌子上静静地等着音乐响起来，故选C。
8．D。老师在放音乐，当然学生们都在听，listening比其他选项都合适。故选D。
9．B。raise sb’s head(s) 抬起头来。句意：当音乐放完的时候，我要求他们所有人慢慢地抬起头来，那样的话，我们就可以一起分享我们的音乐之旅。故选B
10．A。根据上文At this point, when all the children were willing to share their experiences可知，学生们从开始的不愿响应作者到最后跟着作者一起参与其中，这让作者开始知道怎么教书了，故选A。
11．C。unprepared为准备好的；unspoken没说出口的；unknown未知的；unforgotten难忘的；根据上文有the knowing已知的，又有and连接，可知填unknown未知的，构成像上文tears and smiles那样的对比，故选C。
12．B．根据前文The music allowed me to learn that teaching is about sharing and respect…可知，音乐让我们知道了分享和尊重，泪水和欢笑，已知与未知，最重要的是让我们相互了解，所以最后作者总结：这就是音乐在课堂所拥有的力量。
阅读理解
1．B [解析]细节理解题。由文章内容可知，音乐是一种任何人都可以理解和欣赏的东西。故选B。
2．C [解析]细节理解题。由第二段最后一句话可知A项不正确。由第二段第二句可知B项不正确。由第三段内容可知C项是正确的；D项与C项矛盾，故选C。
3．D [解析]细节理解题。文中提到了pop music，folk music，country music，classical music，orchestra music，opera，ballet，故选D。
4．C [解析]细节理解题。A项太绝对；由第四段中的“Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer．”可知B项不正确；由最后一段最后一句话可知D项不正确。所以选C。
5．B [解析]主旨大意题。文章表格的六条措施可以概括为环保的方法，C、D项都比较片面，A项文章没有涉及。
6．B [解析]细节理解题。根据Strategy 2中的“...only save $5... but it reduces...pounds!”可知。
7．A [解析]细节理解题。表格2、5、6并没有涉及回收再利用。故只能选A。
8．C [解析]推理判断题。根据原文可知，A、B、D三项都只涉及表格中的某个方面，并不是全部。

语法填空
1. later 指那天晚些时候。
2. until 表示“直到”，即“等到车来”。
3. sitting 看见某人在做某事，用notice sb. doing sth.。
4. was pretending 指作者看到这个人在做某事。另外，由 "and giving"也可确定，用过去进行时，因and giving跟谁并列？只能是跟pretending并列。
5. mentally 修饰分词形容词作状语，用副词。
6. whom 由talk to sb.可知，用to whom引导定语从句。
7. they 指代the people。
8. on 因定词组on one’s own (=alone)。
9. an 短语搭配have a conversation (谈话)。
10. both 作made宾语用代词；又由上文 "We (指I and the mentally man) had an amazing conversation"可知，作者和那个弱智者“两人都”很高兴。
短文改错
Dear Peter,
In you last email, you said you like collecting stamps. That sounds greatly. I like it, too and had already collected lots of them. So I’d be glad to offer you some Chinese stamp.
Besides collecting stamps, I enjoy listen to different kinds of music in my spare time, like pop music, jazz, classical music and so on. For a result, I have made many good friends but learnt much about the world. So I have benefited a lot ∧ my hobbies.
As a Senior 1 student, I am now working very hard to prepare for the coming exam. In the class, I listen to the teachers attentively and take notes careful. After class, I take an active part on various sports to keep healthy.
Best wishes.
1. like改为liked 2. greatly 改为 great 3. had 改为 have 4. stamp改为stamps
5. listen 改为listening 6. For改为As 7. but改为and 8. lot与my之间插入from
9. careful改为carefully 10. on改为in
书面表达
Dear Mr. Helper,
I’m Li Hua, a Senior 1 student. Faced with great pressure in life, I’m writing to seek your help.
I spare no effort to study, hoping that I’ll become a university student in the near future. I do make some progress in my studies. However, my parents believe that what I’ve done is far from satisfactory. They expect me to do much better.
Almost every day I have to face endless examinations. Our teachers always say that only when we have made adequate preparation will we be able to succeed in the coming College Entrance Examination. Tired and helpless, I don’t think I can put up with such great pressure any more. I’d appreciate it if you can give me some advice.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
