参考答案

参考解析
解析:前一句提到音乐训练可以提高沟通技巧和改善语言障碍,可见他们发现的应该是提升音乐技能与学习说话有着相同的(same)大脑活动过程。the same as…与……相同。unique独特的;different不同的;strange奇怪的。
这项发现应该能够帮助在学习上有障碍的儿童。help帮助;tell告诉;remind提醒;entertain娱乐。
这个句子的意思是:她说音乐训练与整合不同的信息相关,比如聆听音乐、看音符、触碰乐器,以及观察其他音乐演奏者等。shape塑造;relate关于;enhance加强,增强。只有 involve能够表示“涉及,与……相关”的意思。
空格前一句讲的是音乐训练的过程,因此应该选择能表示过程的词汇,即D项。form 形式;step步骤;point观点;process过程。
结合语境可知,本篇文章讲的是音乐训练与学习说话之间的关系,因此选择C项。play 玩耍;sing歌唱;speak说话;think思考。
pass through是常用表达,意思是“经过,通过”的意思,用在空格处表明说话和音乐都通过脑干这个神经系统组织。没有use through这个短语。look through仔细查阅;put through 完成。
由常识及语境可知,大脑控制着我们讲话的能力。develop发展,开发;control控制; assess评判;observe观察,遵守。
空格前一句表明专家的观点,认为脑干不能被改善或改变;空格后一句表明Krauss及其团队的观点,即音乐训练可以改善脑干活动。两者是转折关系,故选择转折连词but。
这个研究涉及的应该是具有不同音乐能力的个人。instrument乐器;ability能力;type 类型;contact接触。本篇文章并没有对乐器和音乐类型进行探讨。
根据上文可知,音乐训练与学习说话涉及相同的大脑活动过程,由此可知这些电子设备观测的是大脑活动。physical体力的;musical音乐的;speech演讲,说话;brain大脑。
similar to的意思是“与……相似”,是英语中的习惯表达。
这个句子的意思是:人们接受音乐训练的时间越长,他们对音乐的声音和节奏就会越敏感。familiar熟悉的;inactive不活跃的;critical讽刺的,批判的;sensitive敏感的。
这个句子的意思是:那些接受过音乐训练的人在感官测试中取得的进步也最大。re-duction减少;improvement改善,提升;interference干扰;implication蕴含。
第一段最后一句提到,音乐训练能够帮助在学习上有障碍的儿童,因此选择B项。style 风格;disability残疾,无能;interest兴趣;approach方法,通道。
空格前表示的是利用音乐改善听力,选项中表示听见的hear与听力相关。read阅读; write写;hear听见;change改变。

Without effective communication, a message can turn into an error, misunderstanding, frustration, or even disaster by being misinterpreted or poorly delivered.The steps for good communication skills:1. Know what to say. Understand clearly the purpose and intent of your message.2. Know how to say it. Begin by making eye contact , which shows confidence. Then pay attention to your body language.3. Listen. After youve finished talking, you should stop, listen, and look for feedback and clues of comprehension.4. Reach understanding. To communicate well is to understand and be understood.More tips for developing good communication skills:1. The better you are able to express yourself, the better your ability to communicate.2. Practice your listening skills. Be considerate of other speakers by waiting until they are done before stating your views.3. Learn to understand and appreciate different views by being open-minded. It will in turn, gain you more cooperation and understanding.4. Avoid trying to communicate when in an emotional state. Take time to consider your position through before speaking.When you take the time to develop good communication skills, it means you open yourself up to better relationships, more career opportunities, and increased self-confidence.Moreover, you reach higher levels of mutual understanding and cooperation while successfully attaining your goals.( ) 26.

考题 共用题干 第二篇Exercise and BrainJust as exercise strengthens the heart and lungs,bones and muscles,it may also power up the brain.A succession of scientific studies of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning."It's clear that the brain benefits from exercise,"says brain scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity:Vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel,and skill-based ex-ercise increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists,may make the brain better able to process information.In one experiment,laboratory rats were separated into three groups.One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel,a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course,and a third group was inactive."The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or inactive groups,"Greenough said."In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals."Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learning a language can, he says.And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well,the benefits multiply.Young brains may be especially able to boost brain power through exercise,suggested another of Greenough's experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats that had been exercised when very young.And while animals aren't people,he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information.Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults,aged 63 to 82,could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course.A corresponding control group that didn't exercise showed no improvement.Which statement is correct according to the passage?A:The effect of exercises found in rats can not apply to people.B:Changes in the brain occurred among young rats are more significant than those among adult rats.C:Regular exercise can only improve the speed with which the older adults' brain processes information.D:The author encourages people do more skill-based exercise instead of vigorous physical exercise.

考题 共用题干 The Biology of MusicHumans use music as a powerful way to communicate.It may also play an important role in love.But what is music,and how does it work its magic?Science does not yet have all the answers.What are two things that make humans different from animals?One is language,and the other is music.It is true that some animals can sing(and many birds sing better than a lot of people).However,the songs of animals,such as birds and whales,are very limited.It is also true that humans,not animals,have developed musical instruments.Music is strange stuff.It is clearly different from language.However,people can use music to communicate things-especially their emotions.When music is combined with speech in a song,it is a very powerful form of communication.But,biologically speaking,what is music?If music is truly different from speech,then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain.The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.Sometimes people who , suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language.However,they don't automatically(自动地)lose their musical abilities.For example , Vissarion Shebalin , a Russian composer , had a stroke(中风)in 1953.It injured the left side of his brain.He could no longer speak or understand speech.He could,however,still compose music until his death ten years later.On the other hand,sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability,but they can still speak and understand speech.This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.By studying the physical effects of music on the body,scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions.But why does music have such a strong effect on us?That is a harder question to answer.Geoffrey Miller,a researcher at University College,London,thinks that music and love have a strong connection.Music requires special talent,practice,and physical ability.That's why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone's mate.For example,singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control.You also need a good memory to remember the notes(音符).And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition.Finally,when a man sings to the woman he loves(or vice versa),it may be a way of showing off.However,Miller's theory still doesn't explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply.For scientists,this is clearly an area that needs further research.Music can NOT be used______.A:as an efficient way to communicateB:as an effective tool to perform magic tricksC:to successfully seek after a loverD:to influence the emotions of humans

考题 共用题干 The Biology of MusicHumans use music as a powerful way to communicate.It may also play an important role in love.But what is music,and how does it work its magic?Science does not yet have all the answers.What are two things that make humans different from animals?One is language,and the other is music.It is true that some animals can sing(and many birds sing better than a lot of people).However,the songs of animals,such as birds and whales,are very limited.It is also true that humans,not animals,have developed musical instruments.Music is strange stuff.It is clearly different from language.However,people can use music to communicate things-especially their emotions.When music is combined with speech in a song,it is a very powerful form of communication.But,biologically speaking,what is music?If music is truly different from speech,then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain.The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.Sometimes people who , suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language.However,they don't automatically(自动地)lose their musical abilities.For example , Vissarion Shebalin , a Russian composer , had a stroke(中风)in 1953.It injured the left side of his brain.He could no longer speak or understand speech.He could,however,still compose music until his death ten years later.On the other hand,sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability,but they can still speak and understand speech.This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.By studying the physical effects of music on the body,scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions.But why does music have such a strong effect on us?That is a harder question to answer.Geoffrey Miller,a researcher at University College,London,thinks that music and love have a strong connection.Music requires special talent,practice,and physical ability.That's why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone's mate.For example,singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control.You also need a good memory to remember the notes(音符).And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition.Finally,when a man sings to the woman he loves(or vice versa),it may be a way of showing off.However,Miller's theory still doesn't explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply.For scientists,this is clearly an area that needs further research.Which of the following statements is true?A:People who lose their ability to process language also lose their musical abilities.B:People who injure the left sides of their brains can speak and understand music.C:People who injure the left sides of their brains can't compose music.D:People use different parts of their brains to process music and language.

考题 问答题For a very long period of historical development, mankind could only pass on music through performance and oral instruction. When mankind invented musical scores, music started to break away from the boundaries of being merely a performing art, and develop into a system of “written symbols” that can be recorded and spread. Undoubtedly, however, it was the scientists who should be crowned as the founders of the real revolutionary milestone of human musical communication. Scientists invented marvelous means of music transmission, beginning from the earliest mechanical “record turntable” to today’s many kinds of “electronic media”.
