C(2025盐城盐都期中)
They say music is universal(全球的), and it seems to be true since wherever we go, we see people listening, playing or dancing to it. We tend to think that music is larger than our cultural differences and shows the deeper connections between us.
But according to a recent study published in Current Biology, music doesn't speak to everyone. There is a condition, the researchers argue, called “musical anhedonia(音乐快感缺失症)”. They say that those who have this condition may have little ability to experience pleasure from music.
For the study, 30 people listened to the same, mostly classical music pieces. They were then asked to complete a questionnaire on how they felt about the music. At the same time, the researchers measured their heart rates and skin reactions(反应), which are considered physiological(生理的) measures of feelings.
According to the researchers, most of the people in the study got pleasure from the music. They had a quicker heartbeat and sweated(出汗) more. However, a small number of them had very little and even no pleasant feeling while they were listening to the music. These people had none or very few of the physical signs that the others in the study experienced.
The researchers say that this means people have different abilities to enjoy music and that there are people who specifically can't enjoy music at all.
To study the condition more deeply, another group of scientists, at Columbia University, US, researched brain activities. They found that the key was the blood flow to the reward system in the brain. People who got less pleasure from music had comparatively lower blood flow to areas involved in the reward system of the brain when they were listening to music.
The lower blood flow makes it more likely that the brain's “reward system” will be inactive. And it will produce less of the “pleasure chemical” dopamine(多巴胺). As a result, people get less pleasure from music.
If the research is correct, according to National Public Radio, there are simply people who just don't get music. They may get pleasure from many things, but a good tune isn't one of them.
8. The people with musical anhedonia ________.
A. avoid listening to music
B. like to listen to certain types of music
C. can't feel the pleasure that music brings to others
D. believe cultural differences are larger than music
9. What was the purpose of the study mentioned in Current Biology
A. To learn what music people love the most.
B. To learn how music influences people's feelings.
C. To understand the relationship between music and the body.
D. To see whether music works in the same way for all people.
10. What happened in the study when people listened to music
A. All of them had a faster heartbeat and sweated more.
B. Those who enjoyed music had slower blood flow.
C. They showed different physical signs as the music changed.
D. Those who enjoyed music had more dopamine produced.
11. Which part of a magazine may the article appear in
A. Science. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Fashion.
D
Gulliver soon got tired of living at home and wanted to go travelling again. He went to sea on a boat and came to a new island. There were some people on it. However, they were dirty and had long hair, and they didn't wear clothes. They lived like animals and were not very clever. Gulliver was afraid of these people, so he ran away.
Then he met two horses. It seemed like the horses were talking in their own language. The horses took him to a house. To his surprise, a family of horses lived in it and the horses lived like people. The horses were very clever, and had schools and businesses. They also used people as animals to help them work. Gulliver soon learnt the horses' language. He became a member of their community(团体) because he was interesting to talk to.
Since the horses were so kind and gentle, Gulliver loved living among them. However, to the horses, people were nothing but animals. People sometimes also fought and killed each other. Because Gulliver was human and could think and speak like they did, the horses soon became afraid of him. They did not want him to make trouble, so they made him leave.
Gulliver built himself a small boat and sailed away. Finally, he returned home. However, he did not want to be with other people any more. He wanted to be with horses. Every day for the rest of his life, he went out to speak with the horses in his barn. Of course, since they were just animals, they did not really understand him.

You can buy lots of things during a livestream(直播), such as food and clothes, and now even a ticket to space.
On Oct. 24, 2024, Deep Blue Aerospace, a Chinese space company, sold two space travel tickets in a livestream. This was the first time space tickets were sold in China. The tickets were priced at 1.5 million yuan each. But during the stream, they were sold for 1 million yuan each.
The space trip will last 12 minutes. According to the company, passengers will sit in a spacecraft(航天器) that is about 4 meters tall and 3.5 meters wide, with six big windows and space for six people. The spacecraft will go 100 kilometers above Earth.
Travelers will experience weightlessness(失重) for at least five minutes and see Earth from above before coming back down safely. Passengers must be between 18 and 60 years old. They need to be healthy. They also have to take some safety training before the trip.
The trip will use the company's Nebula 1 rocket. It runs on oxygen(氧气) and kerosene(煤油) and can be reused. As this technology gets better, space tickets might become less expensive, said Huo Liang, CEO of Deep Blue Aerospace. The company plans to do lots of tests in 2026 to make sure the space trip is safe. They hope to begin the trip in 2027.
