Unit 5 Music.閱讀理解(建議用時15)AIt may seem to be a hard task to trace back the history of rap music, though you often see the informal music associated with highly informal dance style. As far as the origin of rap music is concerned， most people agree that it is from AfroAmerican and Latino Street culture of New York City. Not only in this city but also in the surrounding areas there is the influence of African people and their culture.Rap is a vocal (口頭的) style in which the performer speaks rhythmically and in thyme, generally to a beat. The term of rap music is the same with hiphop music typicallyconsisting of a rhythmic vocal style called rap. If we see it carefully, then we will definitely notice that the music usually is sung at higher pitches (調(diào)). Most of the time rap music is associated with chorus. Though rap music was primarily an American music style with African influence over its music and lyrics, recently it has been spread to almost the entire world.There is hardly any country or nation where rap music cannot be seen in some form or another, and it is one of the most popular music styles among the youngsters. However, when it comes to its history, it is believed that hiphop or rap music started in the early 1970s, and gained much popularity throughout the world during the late 1970s and early 1980s.The history of rap music and hiphop music is full of controversies (爭議) and bans, as the lyrics sometimes relate to drugs and crime; even most famous pop stars and hiphop musicians and singers were found to be associated with the controversies in their life. For that reason, no matter how popular this music style was or still is, it has always had a bad reputation in the eyes of mainstream society.篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文介紹了說唱音樂的發(fā)展過程及其現(xiàn)在的影響力。1The passage is mainly about _.Awhen rap music startedBhow rap music developsCwhat rap music is likeDwhy rap music is popular答案：B主旨大意題。從第一句“It may seem to be a hard task to trace back the history of rap music, though you often see the informal music associated with highly informal dance style.”及文章內(nèi)容可知，本段文字主要介紹了說唱音樂的發(fā)展歷史。2The characteristics of rap music are _.Asolo, rhymes, beats and popsB speaking, rhythms, beats and soloCrepeating, speaking, pops and chorusD speaking, thymes, beats and chorus答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段內(nèi)容可知，說唱音樂主要特點是反復(fù)、押韻、有節(jié)奏、合唱。3Rap music is now one of the music styles mostly run after by_.Athe teenagers in AfricaBall kinds of people in the worldCthe youngsters all over the worldDthe young people in the US答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三段中的“it is one of the most popular music styles among the youngsters”可知，答案為C，即全世界的青年人都喜歡這種音樂形式。4Rap music is often not well thought of by the mainstream because_.Ait comes from the lower classB it has a short historyCit is associated with crimes and drugsD its music is full of controversies答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從最后一段第一句中的“as the lyrics sometimes relate to drugs and crime”可知，說唱音樂的歌詞有時和毒品和犯罪有關(guān)，故不被主流社會所認(rèn)同。1trace vt. 追溯；查到；發(fā)現(xiàn) 2.beat n. 節(jié)奏；節(jié)拍3primarily adv. 主要地；根本地4mainstream adj. 主流的；主要的 n. 主流1be associated with 與有關(guān)2as far as. concerned 就而言B2017山東省德州市聯(lián)考Have you ever heard that we humans use only ten percent of our brains? This opinion holds a certain appeal because if it were true, then we could instantly become ten times more intelligent just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain!The idea that we use only a small part of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the 19th century. When scientists stimulated (刺激) a specific part of the brain, the animal moved its leg or tail. If a tiny part of the brain could do something so great, what was the use of the rest of the brain? Some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless.Then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain parts of the brain had no physical effects. They named these seemingly useless parts of the brain the “silent cortex”. Today we know that in humans, much of the “silent cortex” is actually devoted to complex activities like language, learning, and imagining.Brain scans have shown that different parts of the brain become much more active as we shift (切換) our attention and focus, but even as we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremely active. Would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum capacity (能力)? Interestingly enough, the opposite is probably true. The less brain activity you need to perform a given task, the more the brain as a whole is able to do.篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文屬于科普說明文，科學(xué)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)人腦中有百分之九十沒有被使用。如果我們把這部分的作用開發(fā)出來，我們會更加聰明。5Why does the opinion mentioned in Paragraph 1 seem appealing?APeople wish to become much smarter.BPeople believe it is scientific.CPeople know nothing about the brain.DPeople want to make little use of their brain.答案：A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“.if it were true, then we could instantly become ten times more intelligent just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain！”可知，如果這是真的，那么僅僅通過激活沉睡的大部分大腦，我們就會(比以前)聰明十倍。故選A。6What did scientists discover in their experiment in the 20th century?AThe majority of the brain is sleeping.BAnimals legs and tails have some connection with their brain.CStimulation on some parts of the brain causes no physical reaction.DCertain parts of the brain are devoted to language and learning activities.答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知，在20世紀(jì)初，科學(xué)家們觀察到刺激大腦中的某些區(qū)域并沒有身體反應(yīng)。所以答案為C。7“Silent cortex” has proved to be _.Asensitive to stimulationBuseful in complex activitiesCresponsible for physical reactionDmore active than the other parts of the brain答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句中的“Today we know that in humans, much of the silent cortex is actually devoted to complex activities”可知，答案為B。8If you need less brain activity to perform a task, _.Ayou will feel sleepyByou must shift your focusCyou can use your brain to the fullestDyou will be more productive答案：D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中最后一句“The less brain activity you need to perform a given task, the more the brain as a whole is able to do.”可知，我們完成一項任務(wù)所需要的大腦活動越少，整個大腦能做的事情也就越多。故選D。1appeal n/v. 呼吁；吸引力；有吸引力2specific adj. 具體的；特定的3assume vt. 假定；認(rèn)為4extremely adv. 極度地5opposite n/adj./adv./prep. 相反；對面的；在對面地；在對面1date back (to) 追溯到2be devoted to 忠于；致力于.七選五(建議用時8)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。2017海淀區(qū)模擬Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?Our society is fast paced. We are all rushing from one place to the next, blowing our horn at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights. We dont have time for that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. _1_Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak louder than words”？ Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered? I dont think so. _2_ It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval and happiness and then follow those words with a hug, pat on the back or smile._3_ What about the saying? True? Yes! Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down. Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime. I am sure that each of us remembers a time when a friend made an unkind comment. _4_ Lets not be a member of that “club”. When was the last time that you hid a love note in a lunch box or in your mates coat pocket? If you want to see a bright smile, that will do it! The power of this written note will be remembered for many days, even years.“I can live for two months on a good compliment (夸獎)”， said Mark Twain. Children grow stronger when they feel appreciated and understood. _5_ A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to praise your child. “I noticed that your hair looked very nice today.”“Did you hang your coat up all by yourself？” It is amazing how those few words can change a childs outlook. almost immediately.
