For children, school is their first opportunity for social development and introduction to people outside of their family unit.Lessons learned in school go beyond mathematics and language arts. Students learn to develop individual interests and find other people who share their interests.Music is one of the ways likeminded children come together. When many people talk about the benefits of music education, theyre quick to point out all of the numerous and measurable results of music education: many studies show the positive impact music programs can have on children in other areas of study.Dr. Laurel Trainor, a professor of psychology, at McMaster University, has said young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory compared to children who do not receive musical training. Stanford University researchers have found that musical training improves how the brain processes the spoken word, a finding that researchers say could lead to improving the reading ability of children who have dyslexia and other reading problems.Furthermore, in an analysis of data on more than 25，000 secondary school students, researchers at the United States Department of Education found that students who report consistent involvement in instrumental music during middle school and high school perform significantly better in mathematics.There are many reasons why music education can help to make a child a better student. Being involved in music is also a social endeavor that can set the course for lifelong friends and help create social groups that last through school and beyond. Music education breeds familiarity during a school career，when going from class to class or from school to school every year can be nervewracking and unfamiliar.【文章大意】这是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了音乐教育帮助孩子更好地发展，开发孩子的智力，增强记忆力，因此音乐教育更有利于孩子的成长。1.What is the function of the first paragraph?ATo show school is the place for students to learn.BTo stress the importance of learning knowledge.CTo lead to the main topic of the passage.DTo explain what the author really thinks of.C解析：推理判断题。A.为了展示学校是学生学习的地方；B.为了强调学习知识的重要性；C.为了引出该文章的主题；D.为了解释作者的想法。根据文章第一段的最后一句话“Students learn to develop individual interests and find other people who share their interests.”和下面几段都是提到音乐教育的重要性，因此该段就是引出主题。故选C。2.According to the researchers，we can know that _Amusic lovers tend to use their brain in wise wayBmusic training can cure children of many diseasesClearning music is beneficial to studentsperformance in mathematicsDsenior students disliked attending music lessonsC解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“students who report consistent involvement in instrumental music during middle school and high school perform significantly better in mathematics”可知学音乐有利于孩子的数学学习。A.音乐爱好者倾向于聪明地使用大脑；B.音乐训练能治愈孩子的许多疾病；C.学音乐有利于孩子的数学表现；D.高年级的学生不喜欢参加音乐课。故选C。3.What does the underlined word “dyslexia” mean?AHaving difficulty with reading.BReceiving training for music.CGaining knowledge from learning.DLosing the ability to read music.A解析：词义猜测题。根据该单词后的other reading problems可推断是诵读困难。A.诵读困难；B.接受音乐训练；C.从学习中获得知识；D.失去阅读音乐的能力。故选A。4.It can be concluded from the passage that _Amusic can ensure you have lots of close friendsBchanging schools is a bad experience for everyoneCmusic does offer social and understanding benefitsDfew schools really focus on music educationC解析：推理判断题。A.音乐能确保你有许多亲密的朋友；B.转学对于每个人来说是一个不好的经历；C.音乐确实提供社交和理解的好处；D.很少学校关注音乐教育。通读全文，并根据文章的最后一段的Being involved in music is also a social endeavor that can set the course for lifelong friends and help create social groups that last through school and beyond可推断选C。B(2016临沂高三模拟) I often teach about happiness and what has become clear is this: There are some qualities always unhappy people have. Here are some of them.Happy people know life can be hard and tend to live through hard times. They take responsibility for how they got themselves into a mess, and focus on getting themselves out of it as soon as possible. Unhappy people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the “look what happened to me” attitude instead of finding a way through and out to the other side.Most happy people believe in the good in people instead of thinking everyone is out to get them. Generally open and friendly towards people they meet, happy people foster(培养) a sense of community around themselves and meet new people with all open heart. Unhappy people are distrustful of most people they meet and dont think strangers can be trusted. Unfortunately, this behavior slowly closes all chances of meeting new friends.Unhappy people believe someone elses good fortune steals from their own. They believe theres not enough goodness to go around and always compare others against theirs. This leads to jealousy(嫉妒). Happy people know that others good luck and circumstance are just signs of what they also can achieve if they try hard enough. They believe in unlimited possibilities and dont get stuck in thinking one persons good fortune limits their possible outcome in life.Theres only so much space between the two ears. Unhappy people fill that space with constant worry and fear. Happy people experience fear and worry too, but make an important difference between feeling it and living with it. When fear or worry crosses a happy persons mind, theyll ask themselves if theres an action they can take to prevent their fear or worry from happening and they take it. If not, they realize theyre spinning in fear and they lay it down.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍幸福的人和不幸福的人之间的观点等的比较，希望人们都做一个幸福的人。5Paragraph 2 mainly shows that unhappy people tend to _Afocus on what they really wantBget worried about what will happenCstay focused on the past misfortunesDfind a way to live through hard timesC解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段的Unhappy people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the“look what happened to me” attitude instead of finding a way through and out to the other side.可知不幸福的人总是关注过去的不幸。故选C。6According to Paragraph 3 and 4, unhappy people _Alike making some new friendsBhate seeing others with good fortuneCare more likely to be cheated by strangersDbelieve they can get good luck by working hardB解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段的Unhappy people are distrustful of most people they meet and dont think strangers can be trusted.
