（本卷满分100分）

一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16分）

A

I like music so much that I believe I can’t live without it. I was once asked by a friend of mine why I took such a great interest in it. First I would like to go deep into my soul and find myself through the music I like. Actually, some people call it the process of looking for the purpose of life, but I consider it to find my own spirit rather than the purpose of life. And the other reason is that I can communicate with other people and share all the things we have with the help of music. In fact, the use of music as a communication tool has been kept by human beings for thousands of years.

My friend asked me for further explanation after hearing what I said. I told him that this can date back to the original time, and to the very beginning of the world. At the very beginning of human beings, our forerunners(先驱) already had a special hobby of music. You’ll know exactly what I mean if you happen to know the musical sentence when Adam, the first man, said to the first woman Eve, “Madam, I’m Adam”, which may have the meaning when you read from the end to the beginning. Later on, Adam and Eve and their children began to enjoy the sound of nature as a result of the special hobby of music. They found interest in listening to the sound of wind and rain, the singing of birds, the howls of beasts as well as the simple songs they themselves made.

As time went by, people started to form different kinds of music, such as Eastern music, pop music, rock and roll and light music. People became more skillful at enjoying the music. They were not just paying attention to the words and melodies, but they went deep into the soul of a piece of music. They began to know the relationship between music and their own life. They realized the power of music and started to use music to show their feelings and emotions. At the same time, people who listened to music and found the right way of enjoying it were going deeper and deeper into their soul and spirit through music. They got the whole colourful world which was surrounded by music. They began to communicate with others and share their feelings with the help of music. Music has become a kind of language since then.

Nowadays, people take a greater interest in music than ever before. More and more people begin to like music because they want to find their soul deep in their spirit and also because they have a need to share their life with other people. It is said that music has become an exactly international language today. It is even believed that if there are creatures on other planets and all other ways can’t help communicate with them, music will probably do!

1. The passage is intended to ___________.

A. show people how to enjoy music

B. persuade people to take interest in music

C. tell people the origin of music

D. present the reasons why the writer loves music

2. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to “___________”.

A. the explanation    B. his love of music  C. music   D. the history

3. In Paragraph 2 the example of Adam is meant to ___________.

A. arouse people’s curiosity

B. show music has a long history

C. reveal the real meaning of music

D. explain how music came into being

4. Which of the following does NOT agree with the writer according to the passage?

A. Music can serve as a means of communication.

B. People can associate music with their own life.

C. Music helps to find the purpose of life.

D. Music is a universal language in a sense.

B

Music lessons in early childhood lead to changes in the brain that could improve its performance far into adulthood, researchers say.

Brain scans of young adults showed that those who had formal musical training before the age of seven had thicker brain regions that deal with hearing and self-awareness. The findings stress how brain development can be influenced by the age when children start to learn a musical instrument, and how those changes can go into later life.

“Early musical training does more good to kids than just making it easier for them to enjoy music. It changes the brain and these brain changes could lead to cognitive(认知的) development as well,” said Wang Yunxin of Beijing Normal University.

“Our results suggest it might be better to start musical training before age seven, which agrees with what most piano teachers suggested,” she added.

Wang designed the study to try to find out whether musical training early on in life had any lasting effect on the structure of the brain. She hoped the results might help parents decide what time was best for their children to learn an instrument.

The brain’s cortex(皮层) plays a main role in scores of important abilities, from thought and language to memory and attention. The region matures rapidly in the early years of life, and its development could be affected more if a person starts musical training before it fully matures.

Wang studied 48 Han Chinese aged between 19 and 21 who had received formal music training for at least a year sometime between the ages of 3 and 15. After considering gender and the number of years spent having music lessons, Wang found that musical training that was started before the age of seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive function, which is a person’s ability to plan and carry out tasks. She presented the results at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in San Diego.

5. A boy with thicker brain regions means      .

A. he takes great interest in learning music

B. he may be good at hearing and self-awareness

C. he used to be excellent in his hearing ability

D. he is sure to have a great future in music

6. What does Wang Yunxin suggest in the passage?

A. Children should be provided with music education in time.

B. The structure of the brain is too complex to understand.

C. Piano teachers will give parents more valuable advice.

D. Music can make a child equipped with best intelligence.

7. What can be learnt from the sixth paragraph?

A. The brain’s cortex decides how tall a child can grow.

B. A child’s growth can be deeply limited by music.

C. It is much better for children to learn music early.

D. Early music education has little effect on the brain’s cortex.

8. What can be concluded from the passage?

A. A person’s ability mostly relies on music education.

B. Musical training can help parents control their children.

C. Music lessons should be given more attention.

D. Schools must spend a lot of time on music.

二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）

The USA is a society formed by many different immigrant cultures that produced a new and mixed culture. Most Americans celebrate different customs which started in other countries and start several new traditions and cultures.   9 

  10   They tend to live independently, and communicate directly, honestly and informally with their families, friends and colleagues.

Americans always keep advancing with the times.   11   In America, it is relatively common for both parents to work, and American women are equal partners in marriage.

In the USA, the most common family unit consists of the parents and children living under one roof. Most American children are taught to compete, through organized sports and education, as well as speak out their minds and have confidence to stand up for what they believe in.   12   Many immigrant families also feature several generations living under one roof, with younger family members respecting the elders’ needs and valuing their opinions.

When people from different cultures get married and have children, they may have issues when it comes to maintaining their unique traditions and mixing shared customs at the same time.   13   However, with a little effort, children in these families can benefit from having both outlooks and traditions. Children who are raised bilingually can also benefit in future careers and learn to make decisions better than monolingual kids.

1. Many Americans find happy life is important.
2. They are also taught to respect their parents at all costs.
3. It can be a challenge to find the perfect balance between cultures.
4. According to socialists, the American family culture has many unique aspects.
5. American children refuse to follow their parents’ advice and always argue with them.
6. Changing rather than sticking to tradition is considered by many Americans as improvement.
7. The difference is easy to deal with if parents can meet halfway and stand in the other’s shoes.

1.推理判断题。第一段“I like music so much that I believe I can’t live without it.... And the other reason is that I can communicate with other people and share all the things we have with the help of music.”可知，作者非常喜欢音乐，认为没有它简直活不下去，另一个原因是通过音乐可以和其他人交流，在音乐的帮助下分享我们所拥有的。接着下文对此进行了较详细的说明。由此可推断出本文主要介绍了作者喜欢音乐的原因。故选D。

2.词义猜测题。根据画线词的上句“the use of music as a communication tool has been kept by human beings for thousands of years.” 可知，音乐作为一种交流工具已经被人类使用了数千年。划线的词语所在的句子“I told him that this can date back to the original time, and to the very beginning of the world”可知，这（音乐）可以追溯到人类最初的时代，也可以追溯到世界的开端。由此可得知，下文是对音乐的发展过程的介绍。从而可判断出划线词“this”指的是“音乐”。所以C正确。

3.推理判断题。作者在举例前的一句“I told him that this can date back to the original time, and to the very beginning of the world. At the very beginning of human beings, our forerunners already had a special hobby of music.”讲述，音乐历史悠久，这可以追溯到人类最初的时代，也可以追溯到世界的开端。接着用亚当和和夏娃的例子旨在表明音乐有悠久的历史。故B项正确。

4.细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“some people call it the process of looking for the purpose of life, but I consider it to find my own spirit rather than the purpose of life”（有些人称音乐是寻找生命目的的过程，但我认为这是要探寻自己的心灵，而不是生命的目的。由此可推断出作者不同意C项观点。故选C。

【答案】5-8 BACC

6.推理判断题。根据文章第五段可知，她希望研究结果可以帮助父母决定对孩子们来说何时开始学习乐器是最好的，据此可推知A项正确。

7.推理判断题。根据文章第六段的内容可知，大脑皮层对思考与语言、记忆与注意力的能力而言具有很重要的作用。这个区域在幼年迅速成熟，但是如果在其还未完全成熟前进行音乐训练，会对大脑皮层的发展具有重要影响。故选C项。

8.推理判断题。文章主要讲述了在孩子7岁之前学习音乐的重要性，强调了早期正规的音乐训练对大脑发育的影响。故选C项。
