Many of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.
The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called 揗ozart Effect. Put simply, this is the finding that the spatial reasoning ability is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart抯, compared to no sound at all.
How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study the irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.
Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the people to use their rehearsal ability, and second, the sound must contain acoustical variation. Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.
The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same time梠ne from the task and the other from the sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort to ensure that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders this ability.
A similar conflict is also seen when reading in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of words梖rom the task and the sound梐re in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.
What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.
揗ozart Effect is mentioned to .
explain how music can relax people
show music can improve performance
advise people to listen to Mozart’s music
stress Mozart’s music gains wide attention
What does the underlined word “tricky” mean?
A.Interesting. B.Awkward. C.Unexpected. D.Expected.
26. Paragraph 6 is written to .
A.support an idea B.make a contrast C.introduce a topic D.describe a fact
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Music shapes your life
B. Music develops your creativity
C. Choose quiet music for your work
D. Does music make you concentrate?
C
My name is Sara.When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone(长号). I practised about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there’s something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics(假肢).
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band(行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band—not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade, but probably because my body was different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off!
Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn抰 even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my MP3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, 揙K, I can get through today.
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are in a measure(小节). I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It’s a normal problem that we musicians share. When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.
In what way is Sara different from other kids?
There’s something wrong with her body.
She knows how to play many instruments.
She learned to play the drums at a very early age.
She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours.
When invited to join the marching band, Sara________.
said no at first B. had no idea what to do
C. followed the instructor’s advice D. believed that she would make it
How does Sara probably feel when she’s with the band?
A.Bored. B.Relaxed. C.Successful. D.Afraid.
What would be the best title for the text?
A.A High School Band B.A Young Drummer
C.My Love for Music D.My Magic Hands

三、七选五
【答案】32-36 DAFBG
【分析】这是一篇说明文。音乐不仅能陶冶情操还有益于身心发展。本文具体说明了听音乐对人的益处。
由下文列举的几个小标题可知小题1处于总说段落,所以在总说听音乐的益处,然后在具体分说音乐的益处。故D选项“以下是科学证明喜欢听音乐会有惊人的益处”符合句意。故D选项切题。
由“Listening to music you enjoy reduces levels of the stress in your body. This is an important finding since stress causes many illnesses. To stay calm and healthy during a stressful day, turn on the radio”可知本段主要说明音乐可以减轻压力,提高健康也就是小题2本段小标题所要说明的内容。故A选项“音乐可以减轻压力,提高健康”符合句意。故A选项切题。
34. 由本段的小标题“Music helps you eat less”可知小题3所说的内容应该与主题保持一致。故F选项“把灯光和音乐变柔和可以使人们摄取更少卡路里,更好地享受他们的餐食”符合句意。故F选项切题。

四、语法填空
【分析】文章主要介绍了作者对于音乐的喜爱,和音乐对于作者的重要性,以及作者对于音乐的理解。
考查形容词。句意:音乐是我生命中最重要的东西之一。分析句子结构可知,空格处应作为things的定语,所以用形容词形式。故填powerful。
考查时态。句意:当小的时候,我对音乐的喜爱不如现在。根据句意可知,“对音乐不喜爱”是过去的事情,所以用一般过去时。故填had。
考查连词。句意:无论我在车里,家里,还是在任何其他地方,肯定播放一些Beatles或者buddy holly的歌作为背景的音乐。根据句意, “无论…还是…”的固定表达为weather…or…。故填or。
考查比较级。联系上下文,此句是和上文的When younger, I ___2___ (have) no great love for music as I do now.进行对比,上文用younger,故此处用older。故填older。
考查不定式作定语。根据句意可知,此处应为“有做某事的力量”,根据动词不定式可做后置定语,说明被修饰词的特征可知,此处用不定式to express作为名词power的后置定语。故填to express。
考查结果状语从句。句意:由Nick Jonas演唱的“A little bit longer”是一首如此富有情感和启发性的歌以至于我听到它就会流泪,尤其是看现场演唱时。根据句意可知,此处应为结果状语从句“如此…以至于…”,又因为an emotional and inspiring song的中心词是名词song,故用固定结构such…that…。故填such。
考查动名词作宾语。根据固定搭配 come close to中的to是介词可知,此处应该用动名词形式作为它的宾语。故填dropping。
考查定语从句。句意:音乐给我们带来的影响是巨大的,因为它可以让人泪流不止或者破涕为笑。分析句子结构可知,此处是定语从句,定语从句____8____ music can have on our emotions中缺少宾语,故用关系代词,先行词是effect,指物,所以用that或者which。故填that/which。
考查名词。句中of是介词,其后应该接名词性质的词,laugh的名词形式是laughter。故填laughter。
考查副词。句意:对我来说,音乐在我人生中特别重要。分析句子结构可知,提示词要修饰形容词important,所以应该用它的副词形式。故填extremely。
五、短文改错
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者由一个星期天的下午弹钢琴的经历认识到快乐应该是一直陪伴我们的东西,它就像面包上的黄油——我们离不开它。
【详解】
第一处:考查主谓一致。句意:每个人都有让自己快乐的东西。本句为定语从句, that指代的是先行词something,从句的谓语应该用第三人称单数形式,故make改为makes。
第二处:考查连词。句意:对我来说,快乐就是坐在钢琴前,沉浸在音乐的世界里。此处为顺承而非转折关系,故but改为and。
第三处:考查非谓语动词。句意:我仍然记得在一个星期天的下午弹钢琴。remember doing表示“记得做过某事”,to是多余的,故删掉to。
第四处:考查形容词。句意:在整整一个星期的学习之后,我感到很累。修饰人用ed结尾的形容词,表示“感到……的”,故tiring改为tired。
第五处:考查固定搭配。句意:想了一会儿,我坐在钢琴前。in front of表示“在……前面”,故在front后加of。
第六处:考查名词复数。句意:我用手指轻轻地按了按琴键,发出了几声简单而悦耳的声音。a few修饰可数名词复数,故sound改为sounds。
第七处:考查代词。句意:它缓解了我的压力,让我感到快乐。此处指代前面的music,故They改为It。
第八处:考查形容词。句意同上,此处为“make+宾语+宾补”结构,用形容词作宾语补足语,故happily改为happy。
第九处:考查代词。句意:快乐应该是一直陪伴我们的东西。根据句意可知此处表示“某物”而不是“一切”,故everything改为something。
第十处:考查介词。句意:它就像面包上的黄油——我们不能没有它。can’t do without表示“不能没有、离不开”,故with改为without。
