Aaron Carter isn’t like other 12­year­olds. He doesn’t go to school, and he’s already got a job. He is a big pop star. A few years ago he started his singing with Crazy Little Party Girl, which became a hit at once. Now he goes around the world and his songs are in the tops.
Because he’s traveling around all the time, Aaron doesn’t have to go to school, but don’t envy him too much — he still has to do lessons and homework. And he is good at learning.
＂I have to fit my schoolwork around my singing,＂ he explains. ＂But I’m lucky because I have a private tutor who travels with me. I sometimes have to have lessons on a plane. That’s really interesting!＂
Aaron’s favorite subject is math but he hates history. He know s clearly that having a good singing career doesn’t mean he can go without schoolwork.
＂It would be easy to think that I don’t need to do well in exams, but that would be crazy,＂he says. ＂It’s important to get my qualifications(资格) so that I have something to fall back on. Besides, it’s interesting to learn about other people and cultures.＂
Aaron’s favorite type of music is rock’n’roll. ＂The best thing about being a singer,＂he says, ＂is that you get to travel all around the world. But the worst thing is that you’re away from home so much that you don’t get to see your friends or family.＂

Listening to Mozart does not actually make you cleverer, contradicting (反驳) a popular 1993 study that first coined the Mozart effect, Austrian researchers say.
A team at Vienna University’s Faculty of Psychology collected studies that have sought to reproduce the Mozart effect and found no proof of the phenomenon’s existence.
The original study showed that teenagers performed better in reasoning tests having listened to Mozart’s 1781 Sonata for Two Pianos in D major than those who listened to something else or those who had been in a silent room.
But after analyzing about 3,000 individual cases compiled from 40 studies conducted around the world, the University of Vienna team found no proof that the Mozart effect actually exists.
＂Those who listened to music —Mozart or something else, Bach, Pearl Jam —had better results than the silent group. But we already knew people perform better if they have a stimulus (刺激物),＂ head researcher Jakob Pietschnig said.
Mr. Pietschnig says the 1993 study at the University of California only involved 36 students.
He also says the original study was a typical case of ＂publication bias (出版偏见)＂ whereby scientific journals prefer positive results to negative or inconclusive results.
When the research was first published in Nature it had a considerable effect on public opinion, leading childcare centers in the United States to play classical music and the southern US state of Georgia to give newborns a free classical music CD.
Mr. Pietschnig says the original study was carried out on adults in order to study their reasoning rather than intelligence.
＂I advised everyone to listen to Mozart, b ut it’s not going to improve cognitive abilities as some people hope,＂ he said.
4. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. Mozart Effect Actually Exists.
B. Those Who Listen to Music Have Better Results.
C. Teenagers Shouldn’t L isten to Music.
D. Mozart Doesn’t Make You Clever.
5. According to the passage, Bach and Pearl Jam in Paragraph 5 are probably ___________.
A. names of two places
B. names of two musicians
C. names of two films
D. names of two kinds of music
6. Which is TRUE about the 1993 study at the University of California according to Mr. Pietschnig?
A. It had enough participants.
B. It was typical evidence that students who listened to music had better results than the silent ones.
C. It was a subjective prejudice which a publication often held.
D. All the people prefer positive results to negative or inconclusive results.
7. What Mr. Pietschnig said in the last Paragraph means that ____________.
A. Mozart is unuseful
B. Mozart actually improves intelligence a lot
C. the result of Mozart is not as useful as people thought
D. we should resist Mozart

I. 阅读理解
A
【语篇解读】本文是人物传记。

Aaron Carter是一个受欢迎的明星(歌者)，你了解他多少呢？
2. B 【解析】推理判断题。

由第三段中的＂But I’m lucky because I have a private tutor who travels
with me. I sometimes have to have lessons on a plane.＂可知答案。

3. C 【解析】词义猜测题。

由上文＂It’s important to get my qualifications(资格) so that I have
something to fall back on＂(我获取资格，这样可以有个东西依靠，这很重要)可知本短语意为＂依靠＂。

B
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。

最近的研究发现：听莫扎特的音乐并不能使人更聪明，以前的研究实际上存在着技术上的漏洞。

这一成果又会在社会上引起什么反响呢？
4. D 【解析】主旨大意题。

本文主要介绍了一项心理学研究的新发现，即听莫扎特的音乐并不能使人更
聪明，而这一说法和1993年的另一项研究结论是相矛盾的。

6. C 【解析】细节理解题。

根据第六段皮耶希尼的说法可知，1993年的研究只涉及了36名学生，排除A
项；第七段又说到该研究是一个出版偏见的典型例子，排除B项；D项过于绝对化。

故选C。

7. C 【解析】细节理解题。

最后一段的意思是：人们仍然要听莫扎特音乐，但它对智力的影响并不像人
们以前认为的那么强烈，因此C项正确。

The students’ union will organize an activity when where
we can exchange items we don’t need
with others. If you are interested
in
it, you can join in between three and six on Saturday
afternoon on the Central Road in our school. As a matter of the fact, many of us have difficulty
deal dealing
with used things that mean little to us. If you take

第一处：when→where 句意：学生会将组织一次活动，在活动中我们能够交换我们不需要的物品。

先行词
是an activity ，且关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词where 。

第二处：it 前加in 句意：如果你对这件事情感兴趣，你可以在周六下午3点到6点之间加入。

考查固定
搭配。

短语be interested in…意为＂对……感兴趣＂。

第三处：去掉of后的the 考查固定搭配。

短语as a matter of fact意为＂事实上＂。

句意：事实上很多人都很难处理对我们来说意义不大的事物。

第四处：deal→dealing 考查固定句式。

have some difficulty (in) doing sth.做某事有困难。

第五处：it→them 考查代词。

本句中take后作宾语的代词指代前面一句中used things，因为used things 是复数形式，所以要使用them指代。

第六处：anything→something句意：如果你把不用的物品带来，你不仅仅可以得到你想要的东西，你还可以帮助他人。

不定代词anything通常用于疑问句或否定句中。

something通常用于肯定句中。

第七处：Beside→Besides 考查副词。

句意：而且这还是一个与他人交流并交朋友的好机会。

介词beside 意为＂在……旁边＂；副词besides意为＂而且＂。

第八处：friend→friends动词短语make friends意为＂交朋友＂。

该结构中常常使用复数形式friends。

第九处：items→item或is→are考查主谓一致。

名词items是复数形式，所以谓语动词也要使用复数。

或者还可以把items改为单数和后面的is搭配。

第十处：good→better句意：越多，越好。

考查固定句式。

句式：The+比较级，the+比较级，意为＂越……
就越……＂。

所以使用比较级形容词better。

IV. 语法填空
【语篇解读】瑞士因表出名，但并不是这个国家发明的表，那么表是怎样被带到瑞士的呢？
1. However 与前句是转折关系，空格后有逗号，故用副词however。

2. who/that 此句是＂It is...that/who...＂强调句，被强调部分是the British，指英国人，故填
who/that。

句意：是英国人发明了钟表。

6. about ask sb. about sth.＂询问某人某事＂，是固定搭配。

7. it 代替上文提到的同一事物this machine，用it。

8. So 前后两个句子是因果关系，故用连词so。

9. to repair It is easy for sb.to do sth.＂对某人来说做某事很容易＂，it为形式主语，不定式是真正的主语。

10. made 此处make仅表示过去的一个动作，故用一般过去时。
