Ⅱ.阅读七选五

(2021·南昌高三月考)Music is an art form which deals with the representation of emotion through the medium of sound. It can have a physical effect on us because it is closely linked with emotion, perhaps even more than the abstract nature of words. The number one reason why people listen to music is to adjust their emotional state. __1__

Numerous studies leave us in no doubt that music can affect our mood state and stress level. __2__ For example, they have found that background music shuts out distractions. It calms them before a large task and then they can stay focused for longer. Also it can help their creativity and make studying more enjoyable.

__3__ Firstly, it depends on what the task it. The more difficult the challenge is, the more likely background music will interrupt the learning process. For less challenging learning tasks, music can greatly assist in providing a positive learning state. Secondly, it depends on the characteristics of the music we'll come to in a moment. And thirdly, extroverts (性格外向者) enjoy and often require more external stimulation (刺激) and are likely to handle background noise better than those who are quiet and shy.

Actually, it's not about the type of music, but the natural musical characteristics which aid or disrupt study. One of these characteristics is the tempo (拍子). The recommended tempo for background music is in the range 70－110 beats per minute, slightly faster than the heartbeat at rest. __4__ And very slow music lowers the heartbeat, creating a state that might be too relaxed for study purposes.

In addition, lyrics are the most distracting aspect of background musical listening.__5__More particularly, studies have found that the most distracting background is fast and familiar vocal music, chosen and liked by the listener.

A．Music is part of every culture in the world.

B．In a very real sense, music connects us with our inner selves.

C．They compete with the same brain regions that process language.

D．Music, like language, is a unique human form of communication.

E．Fast music raises the heartbeat, making one unable to focus on study.

F．There are a few factors that determine the effects of music on studying.

G．Moreover, those who like studying with background music have found a lot of benefits.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。音乐是一种通过声音来表现情感的艺术形式。文章说明了音乐对学习产生影响的几个因素。

1．选B　结合上文“It can have a physical effect ... their emotional state.”可知，音乐可以与人的情感紧密相连，那么音乐也能将人与人的内心联系在一起。本句承接上文说明音乐将人们的内心联系在一起。故选B。

2．选G　根据空后一句可知，此处是在说明用背景音乐的好处。故选G。

3．选F　根据后文“Firstly, it depends on ... positive learning state.”可知，此处是在说明音乐对学习产生影响的因素。故选F。

4．选E　根据空格前后两句可知，此处是在分别说明快节奏音乐和慢节奏音乐对人们学习的影响。故选E。

5．选C　根据空前一句可知，此处承接上文继续说明背景音乐中的歌词让人们分心的不良影响。C选项中“They”指代上文中的lyrics。故选C。

A Chinese Classical Music Concert

参考范文：

A Chinese Classical Music Concert

A Chinese classical music concert was held in the school hall on Saturday night. Many masterpieces of ancient musicians, such as High Mountain and Flowing water and The Spring Snow, were played by a famous band. The students present felt the mountain, the water, the winter snow, the silk bamboo and the endless call of life flowing in the air at the concert.

The concert was really popular with the students, especially those who love Chinese classical music. Many said that they would pass on the traditional music and look forward to the next music feast.
