②音乐对记忆力的作用
【题目】
I was a radio presenter for many years, including hosting a music show. I soon noticed that almost everyone chose music from the same period: when they were in their teens or early twenties. ___1___
Firstly, we tend to have a different good memory between the ages of about ten and thirty. ___2___ The second reason is that music is a powerful trigger for our emotions, which in turn spark our memories. The music in our teen years is likely to have lots of emotions to understand, so even a very small part of a particular song can bring powerful feelings and memories flooding back.
___3___ It can have a calming effect, putting you in a relaxed mood, ready, to remember. Rhythms and rhymes are great memory aids. And when we love a song, we tend to repeat it over and over, again. Singing or playing something can even activate “muscle memory”, and there are many cases of people with severe memory loss still being able to perform music they learned decades ago.
So the next time you hear a familiar song, put it to good use, to explore and exercise your memory. Think about the places and people it reminds you of and the emotions it brings. ___4___ Remember a particular time in your life, think about the music you listened to then and let it take you back, following the connections as you piece together the past.
You can also use music when you’ re learning. ___5___ If you’re dealing with several topics, play different styles of music while learning different things.
Experiment to see what works for you, Songs can have a powerful impact on memory, and that should be music to everyone’s ears!
A．There are two very good reasons for that.
B．The following practical suggestions are just for you.
C．There are further ways in which music boosts recall.
D．Find recordings that energize your thinking in your study.
E．Some people use music to make themselves fall asleep faster.
F．You may feel as if you rediscover the richest details of your past.
G．Most of us have more novel and exciting memorable experiences then.
【答案&解析】
【答案】1．A 2．G 3．C 4．F 5．D
1．上文“I soon noticed that almost everyone chose music from the same period: when they were in their teens or early twenties.(我很快注意到，几乎每个人都选择了同一时期的音乐：在他们十几岁或二十出头的时候)”提到人们都会选择十几岁或者二十出头时期的音乐，下一段解释了两个原因，故A项“有两个很好的理由”承上启下，故选A。
2．根据上文“Firstly, we tend to have a different good memory between the ages of about ten and thirty.(首先，在10岁到30岁之间，我们的记忆力很好且有所不同)”可知，在10岁到30岁之间，我们的记忆力很好且有所不同，G项“我们大多数人都有更新奇、更令人兴奋、更难忘的经历”进一步描述10到30岁这段时期的特点，符合语境，故选G。
3．根据下文“It can have a calming effect, putting you in a relaxed mood, ready, to remember. Rhythms and rhymes are great memory aids. And when we love a song, we tend to repeat it over and over, again.(它可以有一种镇静的效果，让你心情放松，准备好记住。节奏和押韵是很好的记忆工具。当我们喜欢一首歌时，我们倾向于一遍又一遍地重复它)”可知，本段是描述音乐对记忆力有好处，C项“音乐还可以通过其他方式提高记忆力”符合语境，下文中的“It”指代C项中的“music”，故选C。
4．上文“Think about the places and people it reminds you of and the emotions it brings.(想想它让你想起的地方和人，以及它带给你的情感)”提到想想歌曲让你想起的地方和人，以及它带给你的情感，空处应是描述结果，想起了什么，F项“你可能会觉得你重新发现了你过去最丰富的细节”符合语境，故选F。
5．根据上文“You can also use music when you’ re learning.(你也可以在学习的时候使用音乐)”及下文“If you’re dealing with several topics, play different styles of music while learning different things.(如果你要处理几个主题，在学习不同的东西的同时演奏不同风格的音乐)”可知，本段是有关音乐和学习，可以在学习时播放一些有益的音乐，D项“找一些能激发你学习思维的录音”符合语境，故选D。

【全文逐句对照翻译】
我做了很多年的电台主持人，包括主持一个音乐节目。
I was a radio presenter for many years, including hosting a music show.
我很快注意到，几乎每个人都选择了同一时期的音乐:在他们十几岁或二十出头的时候。
I soon noticed that almost everyone chose music from the same period: when they were in their teens or early twenties.
有两个很好的理由。
There are two very good reasons for that.
首先，在10岁到30岁之间，我们的记忆力会有所不同。
Firstly, we tend to have a different good memory between the ages of about ten and thirty.
我们大多数人都有更新奇、更令人兴奋、更难忘的经历。
Most of us have more novel and exciting memorable experiences then.
第二个原因是，音乐是我们情感的强大触发器，反过来又激发了我们的记忆。
The second reason is that music is a powerful trigger for our emotions, which in turn spark our memories.
我们青少年时期的音乐可能有很多情感需要理解，所以即使是一首特定歌曲的很小一部分也能带来强烈的感觉和回忆。
The music in our teen years is likely to have lots of emotions to understand, so even a very small part of a particular song can bring powerful feelings and memories flooding back.
音乐还可以通过其他方式提高记忆力。
There are further ways in which music boosts recall.
它可以有一种镇静的效果，让你心情放松，准备好记住。
It can have a calming effect, putting you in a relaxed mood, ready, to remember.
节奏和押韵是很好的记忆。
Rhythms and rhymes are great memory ￥￥￥￥.
当我们喜欢一首歌时，我们倾向于一遍又一遍地重复它。
And when we love a song, we tend to repeat it over and over, again.
唱歌或演奏甚至可以激活“肌肉记忆”，有许多严重失忆的人仍然能够演奏几十年前学过的音乐。
Singing or playing something can even activate “muscle memory”, and there are many cases of people with severe memory loss still being able to perform music they learned decades ago.
所以下次你听到熟悉的歌曲时，好好利用它，探索和锻炼你的记忆力。
So the next time you hear a familiar song, put it to good use, to explore and exercise your memory.．
你可能会觉得你重新发现了你过去最丰富的细节。
You may feel as if you rediscover the richest details of your past.
回忆你生命中某个特定的时刻，想想你当时听过的音乐，让它带你回到过去，沿着这些联系拼凑过去。
Remember a particular time in your life, think about the music you listened to then and let it take you back, following the connections as you piece together the past.
你也可以在学习的时候使用音乐。
You can also use music when you’ re learning.
找一些能激发你学习思维的录音。
Find recordings that energize your thinking in your study.
如果你要处理几个主题，在学习不同的东西的同时演奏不同风格的音乐。
If you’re dealing with several topics, play different styles of music while learning different things.
试着看看什么对你有用。歌曲对记忆有很大的影响，这应该是适合每个人的音乐!
Experiment to see what works for you, Songs can have a powerful impact on memory, and that should be music to everyone’s ears!
