题文

阅读理解。 Music lessons may improve memory and learning ability in your children by promoting different patterns of brain development, a study shows. After a year of musical training, children aged between 4 and 6 performed better at a standard memory test than did children who were not taught music. The findings suggest that music could be uful for building the learning capacity of your minds. Earlier studies have shown that older children given music lessons become better at IQ tests than tho who are musically untrained, but this is the first to show such a benefit in children so young. Professor Laurek Trainor, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, also found clear differences in the ways in which children's brains responded to sound after a year of musical training.' This is the first study to show that brain respons in young, musically trained and untrained children change differently over the cour of a year," she said. "The changes are likely to be related to the cognitive ( 认知的 )benefit that is en with musical training." Professor Trainer's team looked at 12 children, 6 of whom had just started extra-curricular (课程外) music lessons and 6 of whom were not being taught any music except that included as a standard part of their school curriculum (课程标准) . During the year all 12 children had their brains examined four times using magneto-encephalography (MEG), and each child was played two types of sound -white noi and a violin tone. The MEG measurements showed that all children responded more to violin sounds than to white noi, reflecting a preferable for meaningful tones, and their respon times fell over the cour of the year as their brains matured.1. This passage is mainly about ____.  A. why music lessons are good for the memoryB. the benefit from extra-curricular training for younger childrenC. a study on twelve young children's brainsD. new technology to examine children's brains2. It can be concluded from the text that ____.  A. the study is the first one on the effect of musical training on children's brainsB. scientists got no valuable results from the earlier studies on the topicC. children musically trained remember things better than tho untrainedD. older children get more benefit from musical training than younger ones3. What do we know about the twelve children tested in the study?A. None of them had been musically trained before.B. only 6 of them had a knowledge of music before.C. Not all of them had been taught some music in school.D. All of them were required to learn some music in school.4. We know from the MEG measurements that ____.   A. the older a child is, the more quickly he/she responds to soundsB. human brains prefer musical sounds to white noiC. children of different ages respond to sounds at the same speedD. all the twelve children like to learn to play the violin very much 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Musi.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
