资源简介

Ⅰ.阅读理解
You have probably heard of the Mozart effect.It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart，they will become more intelligent.A quick Internet search reveals(显示) plenty of products to assist you in the task.Whatever your age is，there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music.But when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you cleverer，the picture is more mixed.
The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991，but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest in the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain.It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable.Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself.His music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it，we’ll become more intelligent.
The idea got across to the public，with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children，and in 1998 Zell Miller，the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US，even asked for money to be set aside so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music.It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose.Even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.
I’ll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers，but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart’s music makes people more intelligent More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies showed that listening to music does lead to a temporary(暂时的) improvement in the listeners’ mental ability，but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.

A．Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.
B．Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.

2．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest
A．People were strongly against the idea.
B．The idea was accepted by many people.
C．The US government helped promote the idea.
D．Mozart played an important part in people’s life.
3．What is the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect

C．Positive. D．Doubtful.
4．What would be the best title for the text
A．Listening to Mozart，Necessary
B．What Music Is Beneficial
C．What Is the Mozart Effect
D．To Accept Mozart or Not
读写积累 1．intelligent adj.聪明的；有智力的；智能的 2．assist v．帮助，协助；促进 3．evidence n．证据；证明 4．spark v．引发，触发；产生火花 5．genius n．天才；天赋；才能 6．analysis n．分析(结果) 7．set aside留出(钱或时间) 8．be exposed to接触 9．on purpose有意地，故意地 10．More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies showed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the listeners’ mental ability，but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent. 句式结构：对从句中的谓语动词进行强调 句子翻译：后来又进行了更多的研究，但对十六项不同研究的分析表明，听音乐确实能暂时提高听者的智力，但这种好处是短暂的，它并不会让我们更聪明。

语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了莫扎特效应并对其提出质疑，最后否定了它的科学性。
1．D　[细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知，在谈到莫扎特效应的科学证据时，情况就不是那么明朗了，说明并无太多科学证据能支持它。故选D。]
2．B　[句意猜测题。根据画线句下文“with thousands of parents playing Mozart...the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US...the cows were played Mozart three times a day...”可知，这种观点得到了很多人的赞同。故选B。]
3．D　[观点态度题。根据第一段最后一句和第四段中的“but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent”可知，作者对莫扎特效应持怀疑态度。故选D。]
4．A　[标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章首段对莫扎特效应作了简单介绍并对其科学性提出质疑，末段用科学研究否定了其科学性。所以本文主要是对莫扎特效应的质疑，A项“有必要听莫扎特(的音乐)吗”概括文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选A。]

3．B　[根据上文中的“For an indoor location，you need to find a theater that is willing to give you enough space.”可知，空处应该讨论室内场地的另一种选择。故B选项承接上文，符合语境。]
4．F　[该段提出的建议是聘请音响和工程专家来协助音乐人，F选项中的“the speakers don’t work”是音响和工程专家能解决的问题，符合语境。]
5．A　[空处为本段的主旨句。根据下文内容可知，为了让音乐节顺利进行而不出现任何骚乱，你需要聘请安保人员维持秩序。故A选项符合语境。]Ⅰ.完形填空

5．B　[hardly几乎不；purely纯粹地；effectively有效地；formally正式地。根据下文“in love with music and piano that I couldn’t bear to let them go”可知，“我”只是纯粹地喜欢音乐和钢琴。故选B项。]
6．C　[sharper更尖锐；happier更快乐；busier更忙碌；better更好。根据上文“I couldn’t bear to let them go”和“even”可知，即使“我”的生活变得更加忙碌，“我”也放不下“我”热爱的音乐和钢琴。故选C项。]

5．be shared　[考查被动语态。profits与share之间是被动关系，且情态动词must后接动词原形。故填be shared。]
6．selling　[考查非谓语动词。该句已有谓语，该空处应用非谓语动词形式，the company与sell之间是主动关系，用现在分词作定语。故填selling。]
7．but　[考查连词。“事实是这样的分享也损害了参与其中的所有公司”和“很多人认为线上分享音乐只会影响唱片作者”之间是转折关系，该空处应填表示转折意义的连词。故填but。]
8．an　[考查冠词。此处泛指“一整张唱片”，且entire首字母发音为元音，应该用不定冠词an。故填an。]
9．to do　[考查非谓语动词。固定搭配be able to do sth“有能力做某事”。故填to do。]
10．which　[考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句内容，关系词在从句中作主语。故填which。]Ⅰ.熟词生义

A study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology took a closer look at music in sports，specifically how listening to music could affect one’s overall(整体的) performance.
Researchers asked 150 volunteers to throw a ball into a basket.For the first stage of the study，participants threw the ball from a fixed point.They threw the ball while listening to music of their choice，while not listening to music，or while listening to music that the researchers selected.For the second stage，they were able to choose where to stand when throwing the ball and performed the same activity with the various music choices.
The study found that listening to music，whether it was music of the volunteer’s choice or a song chosen for them，did not make the participants more or less likely to get the ball in the basket.It had no effect.What it did do was increase self-confidence and make the participants more likely to take risks，especially for males who were allowed to choose their own music.
The results suggest that music may pump you up.And it may even help you work out harder and longer than you would without it.But no matter what song you listen to，it’s not going to help you get that ball into the basket.
Another study took a detailed look at how music pace might affect exercise.Researchers found that listening to high-pace music makes people feel like they’re working out less while also benefiting their bodies more.
Listening to high-pace music while exercising resulted in the highest heart rate compared with not listening to music.This means that the exercise seemed like less effort，but it was more beneficial in terms of enhancing physical fitness.
The study found that the beneficial effects of high-pace music were greatest for people who were walking or running and were felt the least for those who were doing high-intensity(高强度) exercises such as weightlifting.
1．What were volunteers allowed to do while shooting in the second stage test
A．Choose the position.
B．Shoot from a fixed point.
C．Shoot with fixed music.
D．Shoot with no music.
2．Which is more encouraging in the shooting test
A．Music given by experts.
B．Music males chose.
C．Peaceful music.
D．Loud music.
3．Which sentence matches the results of high-pace music in this study
A．It has no effect on sports.
B．It improves your athletic skills.
C．It helps easily achieve a better workout.
D．High-pace music is beneficial to all forms of exercise.
4．What does the underlined word “enhancing” in paragraph 6 probably mean

Music brings people together.It creates social relationship，it speaks to all when words can fail，and wherever you go in the world，it is understood.Music is a universal gift and its power to connect people is without question. 2 For example，we all have been known to move our feet to the rhythm of a drum beat or sing our hearts out to encourage our favourite sports team!

Music can improve confidence and toughness.In a digital age where many services and products are instantly available with the click of a button，learning a musical instrument provides a platform for people to achieve discipline and willpower.There are many skills required in order to learn how to play a musical instrument: technique，reading music，expression and listening. 5
