Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults.Indeed it is.Scientific studies have proven it.Music has so many good effects on our body,mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music.Then,is music good for children Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music.But some parents don’t know the importance of music to children.Here are some reasons why music is important to children.
First,music is good for children’s intelligence.Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music.This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music.
Music also has soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress.Today’s children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork.Being under too much stress impairs children’s health.Luckily,listening to music can help them feel better.
Music can improve children’s moods.Some children are sad by nature.They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don’t take interest in their surroundings.In such cases,a method known as “music therapy”comes to their rescue.It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them.
Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn.Our world has become a global village.People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries.Music can help them in understanding foreign cultures.
Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children.So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music.
(　　)1.What is the author’s purpose by mentioning scientific studies in Paragraph 1
A.To show why adults should listen to music.
B.To show children should listen to music.
C.To show listening to music is only good for adults.
D.To show why scientists are interested in music.
(　　)2.What does the underlined word “impairs” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Harms. B.Changes.
C.Improves. D.Shows.
(　　)3.What can we know from the last but second paragraph
A.It shows that listening to music means learning languages better.
B.It shows that listening to music means understanding foreign cultures better.
C.It shows that listening to music means accepting the fast developing world easily.
D.It shows that listening to music means showing greater interest in other cultures.
(　　)4.What would be the best title for the passage
A.Why do Children Love Music
B.How to Choose Music for Children
C.How to Teach Children Music Easily
D.Why is Music Important to Children

　　Every year on 21 June,World Music Day is commemorated in over 120 countries,including its birthplace of France,to honour both amateur and professional musicians.Citizens of a city or country are permitted and encouraged to perform music outside in their neighbourhoods,public areas,and parks on the World Music Day.Free concerts are also held,where musicians perform for the joy of it rather than for a fee.
　　In the 1970s,American musician Cohen,who was then working for a French radio station,came up with the idea of having musicians perform on the evening of 21 June 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 since 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 include on their playlists.Every type of musician can celebrate the World Music Day with friends,family,and even strangers,whether they are young,elderly,new,or seasoned professionals.The purpose is to promote 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 folks 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 beneficial to your health.A song might bring back a joyful memory or make you feel energised when you listen to it.

Music for Humans and
Humpback Whales (座头鲸)
As researchers conclude in Science,the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain and is far more ancient than previously suspected.
In the articles,researchers present various evidence to show that music -making is at once an original human “business”,and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom.
The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom,and that a number of non-human animals produce what can rightly be called music,rather than random sound.Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that,even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise,the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty,and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians,and human ears,everywhere.
For example,male humpback whales,who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing,use rhythms (节奏) similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length—a few seconds.Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves (八度音阶),yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals (间隔),rather than moving forwards madly.They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio (比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music.They also use a favourite technique of human singers,the so-called A-B-A form,in which a theme is stated,then developed,and then returned to in a slightly revised form.
Perhaps most impressive,humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme.“This suggests that whales use rhyme,the same way we do:as a technique in poem to help them remember complex materials,” the researchers write.
(　　)9.What do the underlined words “converge on” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A.Tend towards. B.Refer to.
C.Turn into. D.Put forward.
(　　)10.What is the main idea of the article
A.Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans.
B.Humans borrow ideas in music from humpback whales.
C.Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom.
D.Music -making is an ancient activity of both humans and animals.
(　　)11.What’s the main purpose of the passage
A.To argue and discuss.
B.To inform and explain.
C.To compare and advertise.
D.To examine and assess.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了动物和人类一样具备创作音乐的能力。
答案及剖析:
9.A　词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句可知,深度分析座头鲸所唱的歌会发现,它们都趋向于发出那种悦耳动听、被大众喜爱的声音。由此推知,converge on的意思是“趋向于”。故选A。
10.D　主旨大意题。根据第二段内容可知,创作音乐并非人类世界的专属,动物世界中也同样存在。接下来全文围绕这一观点进行了说明。故选D。
11.B　推理判断题。根据全文内容可知,前两段提出要阐述的话题,动物和人类一样可以创作音乐,之后下文又以座头鲸为例进一步解释说明这一事实,故本文的主要目的是inform and explain。故选B。
Ⅱ.七选五
Music is part of our life.1.　　　 It is the best tool to use when you’ve had a hard day.There are some other great uses for your collection of slow tracks.

2.　　　 Since fetal (胎儿) brain development begins in the fifth week,it might be a great idea to try to get your baby in a relaxed state early on.Some mothers do this by putting earphones over their bellies.

3.　　　 The tendency of relaxing sounds to slow you down may really be good for you even if you are trying to push yourself to meet a deadline.Slowing down means you have a better chance at working more carefully and preventing big mistakes.
4.　　
Going to see the doctor or the dentist can be somewhat a scary experience.You might therefore want to request some calming music.5.　　　 If yours doesn’t,you might want to bring your own sounds stored in a device so you can have a more personal experience listening to them with earphones.

语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐在生活中的一些妙用。
答案及剖析:
1.C　前文提到音乐是我们生活的一部分,C项中的“use calming music”与设空处后的“the best tool to use”以及“a hard day”相呼应,C项符合语境。故选C。
2.F　设空处后提到胎儿的大脑在第五周就开始发育,让胎儿早一点接触放松舒缓的音乐是个好主意。 F项符合此处语境。故选F。
3.G　通过本段关键词“High Stress Tasks”可知,本段主要讲舒缓音乐对应对压力的好处,G项符合语境。故选G。
4.A　本段主要讲述了舒缓的音乐在看病时的应用,A项符合语境。故选A。
5.D　设空处前的一句说你在看病时可能会希望医生播放一些让人平静的音乐。设空处后的一句又说如果你的医生没有准备,你可以用自己的耳机等设备听自己准备的音乐,由此可知,D项与前后文衔接自然,符合语境。故选D。

语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了《友谊地久天长》这首诗被改编成歌曲的经过以及意义。
答案及剖析:
1.was written　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据句意以及设空处后的by可知,主语与谓语构成被动关系,且描述的是过去发生的事情,故应用一般过去时的被动语态;主语为The poem Auld Lang Syne,谓语应用单数。故填was written。
