第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）Many of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.
The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all.
How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.
Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical variation(声学变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.
The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same time—one from the task and one from the sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.
A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of words—from the task and the sound—are in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.
What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.
1、“Mozart effect” is mentioned to ________.
A．explain how music can relax people
B．show music can improve performance
C．advise people to listen to Mozart music
D．stress Mozart music gains wide attention
2、It can be inferred that participants in the research ________.
A．have improved their rehearsal ability
B．perform better in the quiet conditions
C．ignore the background noise successfully
D．prefer the music with great sound variation
3、Paragraph 6 is written to ________.
A．support an idea B．make a contrast
C．introduce a topic D．describe a fact
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．Music shapes your life
B．Music develops your creativity
C．Choose quiet music for your work
D．Does music make you concentrate?

One single mother’s creative manner of making her son not feel hurt from a school event celebrating close
father-child relationship,has pulled social media’s heart strings hard
Yevette Vazquez,from Fort Worth,Texas,was dropping off her 12-yea-old son Elijah at school when she saw that there were more parked cars than usual for a school run.“I ask him why there were so many cars,” Vazquez wrote in a Facebook post that has been shared more than 6,000 times.He said,“Donuts (炸面圈饼）with Dad”.It was an event being held by the school to honor close father child relationship.But Vazquez,who is a single parent,did not want her son to be left out from the event Instead,she and Elijah drove home so that she could change her appearance.“I know seeing other dads with their kids isn’t easy for mine but it’s life,at least I can do whatever it takes to put a smile on that face,” wrote Vazquez in the post.
The post has received more than 18,000 reactions.One user called Ceci Solis wrote,“Tears are coming down my face.”She added,“It’s hard not having a dad to do that.It’s just amazing.” Another name d Mozar E Lucy DePaula said, “You are an amazing mom.I was a single mom» so I know what it takes us to do anything to see a smile on our kids faces.You are the best and keep up.God bless you and your son.” Several called for her to be crowned “Mother of th e Year”.
1、According to the text,Elijah is .
A．old enough to live alone B．unwilling to make donuts
C．a boy without father at his side D．well taken care of by his parents
2、What did Vazquez do to avoid hurting her son?

C．She learned to make donuts herself. D．She drove her son to school every day.
3、What is the text mainly about?
A．A son is the most lovely.
B．Life with dad is going on as usual.
C．A mum celebrates close father-child relationship with a dad.
D．A single mum changes her appearance for “Donuts with Dad”
23．（8分）Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And whil e you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using
a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by
14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
1、The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.
A．their home comforts B．their body shape
C．house buying D．healthy diets
2、A home environment in blue can help people ______________.
A．digest food better B．reduce food intake
C．burn more calories D．regain their appetites
3、What are people advised to do at mealtimes?
A．Eat quickly. B．Play fast music.
C．Use smaller spoons. D．Turn down the lights.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Is Your House Making You Fat? B．Ways of Serving Dinner
C．Effects of Self-Consciousness D．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
24．（8分）83-year-old Antonio Vicente has spent the last four decades of his life fighting against the trend. As Brazilian landowners cut down rainforests to make room for profitable plantations(种植园) and cattle grounds, he struggled to bring the jungles of his childhood back to life.
“When I was a child, the peasants cut down the trees to make grasslands and charcoal, and the water dried up and did not come back,” he told the reporters, “I thought:‘Water is valuable, no one makes water and the population will not stop growing. What is going to happen? We are going to run out of water.’”
With only some donkeys and a small team of hired workers, Antonio Vicente set about bringing back the forest to his land. What started out as a weekend hobby soon became a permanent way of life, and Antonio recalls often spending whole days and nights in his young jungle, surrounded by rats and foxes, and eating banana sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Over the last 40 years, he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31-hectare land, which now make up a small but unique area of rainforest, and a haven for wildlife.
As the forest grew, the water returned, and Antonio says that there are now over 20 water, sources on his land that were no longer there when he bought it. Then the animals started making a home there, Today, the forest is alive with the sounds of birds and insects living there, and more species are settling in every year.
“There are toucans(巨嘴鸟), all kinds of birds, squirrels, lizards, and even the boars are returning,” 83-year-old Vicente says, “If you ask me who my family are, I would say all this right here, each one of these that I planted from a seed.”
1、What do we learn about the Brazilian peasants?
A．They wasted much water on farming.
B．They focused on short-term profits,
C．They cared much about the environment.
D．They relied heavily on rainforests for a living.
2、What used to be young Antonio’s biggest concern?
A．Overpopulation. B．Polluted water.
C．Loss of grasslands. D．Water shortage.
3、What does the underlined word “haven” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Trap B．Disaster
C．Shelter D．Balance
4、In the last paragraph, Antonio mainly expresses his ________ .
A．affection for his forest B．thanks for his family
C．deep love for rare birds D．pride as a successful farmer
