It is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem, they say, “Can I put my headphones on? I think better that way.” But is that really true? Does music help concentrate?
Research offers little to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration. In one small study, 133 students performed reading tasks while listening to either light music, hip hop, or no music at all. Students who performed the reading tasks in silence scored the highest. Music with a higher intensity (强度) like hip hop was more distracting and had a greater negative effect on task performance and concentration.
Volume (音量) plays a more important role than the type of music. The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration. The type of music didn’t matter. Data from the study showed once again that silence was the best environment to improve concentration.
However, music has a positive effect on work performance. Studies have showed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood, as well as creativity. In fact, in music-listening cultures, which students are certainly part of, there’s actually a change in mood when the music is taken away.
It’s hard to convince my students that music doesn’t help with their concentration. Taj, a senior told me, “I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read. However, when I write, I feel like music helps me concentrate deeply. I don’t have writer’s block. It’s easy for me to put my words on paper.”
“Maybe not with reading, but when it comes to math, listening to music certainly helps,” Danela told me. “You could actually be singing along with what you’re listening to and doing well in math.”
4. What does the underlined word “distracting” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. worrying. B. exciting. C. inspired. D. dramatical.
5. What can we learn from the small study?
A. Students do well in reading tasks while listening to music.
B. Music can’t improve people’s mood and creativity.
C. Different types of music lead to different performances.
D The volume of music affects concentration.
6. What do Taj and Danela have in common?
A. They believe music doesn’t help concentrate.
B. They use music to help with their paper-writing.
C. They can’t focus on reading while listening to music.
D. They don’t listen to music while doing math problems.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Should Students Listen to Music? B. Does Music Help Concentration?
C. Is Music Related to Reading? D. Can Music Change Mood?
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是音乐是否有助于集中注意力。你从事的任务不同，音乐对你的注意力的影响也许会不一样。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据句意和划线单词后面的内容“and had a greater negative effect on task performance and concentration.（并且对任务表现和注意力有更大的负面影响）”可知，划线单词应该和后面的内容在意义上一致，根据后面所说的“负面影响”可知，划线单词distracting应该和worrying意义上一致。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Volume (音量) plays a more important role than the type of music. The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration.（音量比音乐类型更重要。研究发现，音乐音量越大，注意力越不集中）”可知，音乐的音量会影响注意力。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中Taj所说的话“I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read. However, when I write, I feel like music helps me concentrate deeply. I don’t have writer’s block. It’s easy for me to put my words on paper.（如果我一边听音乐一边看书，我就无法集中注意力。然而，当我写作时，我觉得音乐可以帮助我集中注意力。我没有文思枯竭。对我来说，把我的话写在纸上很容易）”和第六段中Danela所说的话“Maybe not with reading, but when it comes to math, listening to music certainly helps（也许对阅读没有帮助，但在数学方面，听音乐肯定有帮助）”可知，Taj和Danela的共同之处是他们不能一边听音乐一边专心阅读。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述的是音乐是否有助于集中注意力。你从事的任务不同，音乐对你的注意力的影响也许会不一样。所以用C项“Does Music Help Concentration?（音乐有助于注意力集中吗?）”作为本文的题目和主题相符合。故选B项。
C
Alma Deutscher, a sixteen-year-old girl from England who created her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplayed (淡化) her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music world.
Alma’s opera based on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming, a poet through a song.“In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad (情歌)—but at midnight she runs away. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the girls of the country to sing the end of the ballad.”
The opera was first performed in Vienna, Austria on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully changed between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, one in Australia and the other in China.
Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly filled with media and Alma became an overnight star. The nickname “Little Mozart” makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.
Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma”. Regardless of what she calls herself, the sixteen-year old is changing the world of music forever!
8. Which of the following statement about Alma is WRONG?
A. She can play the piano and the violin skillfully.
B. She can write operas and compose music as well.
C. She displayed her talent for music at an early age.
D. Her talent goes far beyond that of Mozart.
9. What does the underlined word “twist” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Disadvantage. B. Improvement. C. Change. D. Mistake.
10. What do we know about Alma’s Cinderella?
A. It is a short opera based on the classic fairy tale.
B. Cinderella meets her Mr. Right through a song.
C. The prince finds her with the help of a crystal shoe.
D. It enjoys a great success and has been performed in China.
11. What was Alma’s parents’ attitude to her fame?
A. Concerned. B. Overexcited. C. Happy. D. Shocked.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了来自英国的16岁女孩阿尔玛·德彻（Alma Deutscher）是一位音乐天才，从小在音乐方面成就超群，被称为“小莫扎特”，但是她和家人淡泊名利，她要做一名实实在在的音乐家和创作家。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Though her parents downplayed (淡化) her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music world.”（尽管她的父母轻描淡写她的非凡才华，年轻的阿尔玛被音乐界称为“小莫扎特”）可知，Alma Deutscher被称为小莫扎特，即她在音乐方面的能力接近或相当于莫扎特。D. Her talent goes far beyond that of Mozart.（她的才华远远超过莫扎特）是错误的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad (情歌)—but at midnight she runs away. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the girls of the country to sing the end of the ballad.”（“在《我的灰姑娘》中，她唱的是一首民谣的开头——但在午夜她逃跑了。最后，王子在请全国所有的女孩唱完民谣后找到了她。”）可知，划线词所在句子“Alma’s opera based on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. ”意为：阿尔玛的歌剧以经典童话故事为基础，八岁时开始创作，但有一点变化。即划线词twist意为“变化”。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming, a poet through a song.”（她的灰姑娘是一位音乐家，她通过一首歌遇见了她的白马王子，一位诗人）可知，在阿尔玛的《灰姑娘中》灰姑娘通过一首歌遇见了她的白马王子。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ The nickname “Little Mozart” makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called“a composer and musician”.”（“小莫扎特”这个绰号让她的父母很不高兴，因为他们认为这会给小女孩增加压力。相反，他们更希望她被称为“作曲家和音乐家”）可知，阿尔玛的父母对她出名感到担忧。故选A项。
D
Imagine a warm spring day 66 million years ago. These could have been the very last moments of the dinosaur era when a city-sized asteroid struck Earth, killing off three quarters of all species on the planet. According to a study published in Nature on Feb 23,the asteroid hit in springtime.
Scientists have long been confused over the time of year the asteroid hit, and how some animals managed to survive while dinosaurs didn’t, according to USA Today.
Researchers in 20l9 discovered fossilized fishes in North Dakota that died shortly after the asteroid hit Earth. They examined the fossils with a particle accelerator and found out there was seasonal growth on the bone. All fish bone cell densities and volumes can indicate the season. Because the accelerator also could capture the sizes, researchers were able to determine when in the year the asteroid hit, Dennis Voeten told USA Today.
“I think spring puts a large group of the late Cretaceous biota in a very unprotected spot because they were out and about looking for food, tending to offspring after the winter,” Melanie During, the main author of the study.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it was autumn. Therefore, life in the Southern Hemisphere was a lot more prepared for this event.
It is unclear whether small animals in the Northern Hemisphere actually did worse than those in the south. There is evidence that Northern Hemisphere turtles were wiped out in the asteroid strike, after which their habitats were later repopulated by turtles from the south, Voeten told The Guardian.
Nothing much larger than a house cat survived the asteroid impact and many species would have been killed whenever it hit, Daniel Field, a professor at the University of Cambridge, told The Guardian.
12. Which probably helps find the time of year the asteroid hit?
A. The types of fossilized fishes. B. The location of fossilized fishes.
C. The number of fish fossils in the area. D. The volume and density of the fish bone cells.
13. What causes the species’ extinction when the asteroid hit in Melanie During’s opinion?
A The season of the hit. B. The size of asteroid.
C. The group size of species. D. The body shape of animals.
14. Which would Daniel Field most probably agree with?
A. Chances of survival depended on it where the species lived at the time.
B. Many species could have survived the asteroid strike but for the season.
C. Many species had little chance to survive even if it was a different season.
D. Animals from the Southern Hemisphere were less affected by asteroid strikes.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Science behind the Asteroid B. Occurrence of the Natural Disaster
C. The Effect of Dinosaurs’ Extinction D. New Research on the Asteroid Strike
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于小行星撞击地球的研究，介绍了研究开展的过程以及人们对此的不同看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“All fish bone cell densities and volumes can indicate the season. Because the accelerator also could capture the sizes, researchers were able to determine when in the year the asteroid hit, Dennis Voeten told USA Today.(所有鱼骨细胞的密度和体积都可以指示季节。丹尼斯·沃腾告诉《今日美国》，因为加速器也可以捕捉到小行星的大小，研究人员能够确定小行星撞击地球的时间)”可知，鱼骨细胞的体积和密度可能有助于找到小行星撞击地球的时间。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““I think spring puts a large group of the late Cretaceous biota in a very unprotected spot because they were out and about looking for food, tending to offspring after the winter,” Melanie During, the main author of the study.(“我认为春天把一大批晚白垩纪生物群置于一个非常不受保护的地方，因为它们出去寻找食物，在冬天之后照顾后代，”该研究的主要作者Melanie During说)”可知，小行星撞击地球导致物种灭绝的原因是撞击的季节。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nothing much larger than a house cat survived the asteroid impact and many species would have been killed whenever it hit, Daniel Field, a professor at the University of Cambridge, told The Guardian.(剑桥大学教授Daniel Field在接受《卫报》采访时表示，没有比家猫大得多的动物在小行星撞击中幸存下来，很多物种都可能在每次撞击中死亡)”可推知，Daniel Field 最有可能同意C选项“即使是不同的季节，许多物种也很少有机会生存”的观点。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Imagine a warm spring day 66 million years ago. These could have been the very last moments of the dinosaur era when a city-sized asteroid struck Earth, killing off three quarters of all species on the planet. According to a study published in Nature on Feb 23,the asteroid hit in springtime.(想象一下6600万年前一个温暖的春日。这可能是恐龙时代的最后时刻，一颗城市大小的小行星撞击了地球，杀死了地球上四分之三的物种。根据2月23日发表在《自然》杂志上的一项研究，这颗小行星在春季撞击地球)”结合文章主要介绍了一项关于小行星撞击地球的研究，介绍了研究开展的过程以及人们对此的不同看法。可知，D选项“小行星撞击的新研究”最符合文章标题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)
根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you want to look slim? Here are four easy walking ways to help you lose weight.
●The I'm-so-mad walk. ____16____ You’ll not only get a great physical workout, but you’ll also burn off some of the stress in your body. So when you feel annoyed, go for a walk to lose weight.
First step: You can shout wildly, and gesture to yourself. But invite a friend or a family member who understands the situation to join you so as not to attract too much attention. ____17____. Sure enough, you will feel free.
●____18____ Studies show that you can actually get muscle fibers to fire by imagining yourself performing an activity. Look for opportunities to be “active” rather than to “exercise”.
First step: On days when you're too busy to walk, at least spend a few quiet minutes with your eyes closed. Imagine yourself walking powerfully and purposefully. It will help you develop muscle memory.
●The mini walk. If your day is too packed for your typical 45-minute walk, then take just three separate 15-minute periods. ____19____ Besides, you’ll keep your metabolism (新陈代谢) working throughout the day so you'll burn more calories.
First step: It's the same way that basketball players use to train shots mentally. That's a key difference. The latter often feels like an interruption to the day, while the former is a natural part of it.
●The parking and walk. Do you live too far from workplace to walk? ____20____ You’ll get your exercise almost without realizing it, save gas, and build a stress-easing area around your workday.
First step: Dress in casual clothes and walking shoes, and then change into your business clothes at the office.
A. The virtual walk.
B. The outdoor walk.
C. You will walk slower with anger.
D. You’ll gain just as much health benefit.
E. When something is making you angry, hit the road instead of the wall.
F. You’ll be surprised at how good you’ll feel afterwards with him or her.
G. Then sometimes drive until you're a mile away, park, and walk the rest.
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. A 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种走路减肥的方式。
【16题详解】
根据本段中心句“The I'm-so-mad walk. (疯一样地走)”以及下文“You’ll not only get a great physical workout, but you’ll also burn off some of the stress in your body. So when you feel annoyed, go for a walk to lose weight. (你不仅能得到很好的身体锻炼，还能燃烧掉身体里的一些压力。所以当你感到烦恼的时候，去散散步减肥)”可知，本段介绍的走路方式适合有压力或者烦躁的时候用，所以选项E“当有什么事让你生气的时候，不要撞墙，而要在马路上走起来”，符合本段中心意思，即承接上文，下文也是对本空内容进一步延伸，故选E。
【17题详解】
上文“But invite a friend or a family member who understands the situation to join you so as not to attract too much attention. (但是你可以邀请一位了解情况的朋友或家人加入你的行列，以免引起太多的注意)”建议找个人陪你走，所以选项F“你会惊讶于和他或她在一起后你会感觉多么好 ”说明上文建议给你带来的好处，对上文内容的进一步的说明，故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上下文加黑点后句子结构，可知答案在A和B之间选择。下文“Studies show that you can actually get muscle fibers to fire by imagining yourself performing an activity. (研究表明，通过想象自己进行一项活动，实际上你可以让肌肉纤维燃烧起来)”提到想象自己在运动，也可以燃烧肌肉纤维，所以这 是“虚拟运动”也就是“虚拟走”，故选A。
【19题详解】
上文“If your day is too packed for your typical 45-minute walk, then take just three separate 15-minute periods. (如果你的一天安排的太满了，不适合你一贯的45分钟散步，那么就分三次15分钟的走)”，选项D“你将获得同样多的健康益 处”，承接上文，说明上文这种方式的好处，也对应下文“Besides, you’ll keep your metabolism (新陈代谢) working throughout the day so you'll burn more calories. (此外，你会让你的新陈代谢一整天都在工作，这样你会燃烧更多的热量)”对这种方式益处的进一步说明，故选D。
【20题详解】
本段中心句是“The parking and walk (停车然后步行)”的这种方式。上文“Do you live too far from workplace to walk? (你住的地方离工作场所太远而不适合走路吗？)”，所以选项G“然后有时开车到一英里外，停车，然后步行 ”对应了本段的中心意思，也是针对上文问题的一种建议，故选G。

第二节 (满分 25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the middle of winter some 30 years ago. I was a young father with three little children depending on me. My college education, however, wasn’t helping me to find a good job in our depressed area. My work as a teacher had dried up and now I was working in a saw mill (锯木厂) for just above the minimum wage.
As I got ready to go to work I wrapped band-aids (创可贴) around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and piling wood for 8 hours a day had caused my fingers to split and bleed at their tips in the cold, dry, winter air. Then I walked down to my car in the snow and hoped it would start.
That day at work was harder than normal. The machines kept breaking down. And we had to rush to catch back up as the wood piled up. On top of it all the heaters in the building weren’t working and we could see our breath as we spent hours chopping, piling, carrying, and packaging the hard wood flooring to be shipped out.
When the work day finally ended, I walked tiredly toward the time clock, took off my work gloves and inspected my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and I had bled through the band-aids again. I tried to straighten out but my bad back cramped (绞痛) up as I did. I started my car and drove back home. I looked at the snow and blinked back tears. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.
I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened my front door, but instead one appeared naturally. My daughter ran up to me, yelling “Daddy”, and wrapped her little arms around my neck. I lifted her up and my heart exploded with love.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

My tired body didn’t feel so tired any more.

“Happy birthday!” my wife greeted me warmly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My tired body didn’t feel so tired any more. My aches and pains disappeared into her hug. And the joy in my heart chased the sadness away. In that moment I knew I could go on and that things would get better. In that second I remembered again that I was here for love. I kissed my little girl’s cheek, held her tight, and thanked God for my life as hard as it was.
“Happy birthday!” my wife greeted me warmly. My wife had prepared a rich meal. My heart was filled with happiness and warmth. I realized that it was worthwhile to work for my family. I think we all have bleeding fingers and band-aid days in our lives here. But with love we can make it through them all. After all, work may give us a living, but it is love that gives us a life.
