From Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results wereechoedby scientists fromLancasterUniversity, and theUniversityofGavle, saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity.
To reach their conclusions, researchers had volunteers complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music significantly weakened the volunteers’ ability to complete tasks connected with verbal creativity. The team also tested background noises like those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no influence on subjects’ creativity.
The tasks were simple word games. For example, volunteers were given three words, such as dress, rise, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word connected with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflower). Volunteers completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to two different types of music: rock music or light music
“We found strong evidence of weakened performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author D. Neil McLatchie ofLancasterUniversity. He and his colleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “regular state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration.
“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music increases creativity, and instead show that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage for creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads.
4. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.
A. challenged
B. accepted
C. doubted
D. heard
5. What were the volunteers asked to do in the study?
A. To play music.
B. To combine given words.
C. To create new words.
D. To connect words with music.
6. What can we infer from the study?
A. Quiet background inspires creativity best.
B. Library noise does no harm to creativity.
C. Music has a bad effect on language ability.
D. Music types matter in creative performance.
7. Which is the main idea of the passage?
A. Quiet Environments Prevent Concentration.
B. Background NoiseAffects Concentration.
C. Composing Music Weakens Creativity.
D. Listening to Music Reduces Creativity.
C
American football was the fastest-growing sport for US young players last year, according to a survey sponsored by the sport's governing body.
But it was the game's no tackle variety that showed the biggest increase－a finding that may reflect concerns about injury. In American football, a tackle (抢断球) refers to an attempt to stop an opponent by forcing them to the ground.
The number of participants in football grew in 2015 while most other sport, except baseball, posted a decline, USA Football said on Monday, citing(引用) the findings of a survey of 30,000 children and teenagers.
Participation in flag football (a no-tackle type of football) increased by 8.7 percent among children aged 6 to 14, while tackle football rose by 1.9 percent. For that age group, the only other sport that grew was baseball, with a 3. 3 percent increase.
In the 15-to-18 age group, flag football rose by 10. 5 percent, while tackle grew by 2.5 percent.
Basketball was the third, with a 1. 1 percent increase. Participation in all other sports declined.
Tom Farrey, executive director of the Aspen Institute's Sports & Society Program, said he was surprised that flag football participation rose so much.
“The trend suggests that parents aremarching to the beat of a different drummer, in pursuing flagas an alternative for their kids," he said.
The findings come at a time of increasing concern about the risk associated with youth sports, particularly hockey (曲棍球) and football, where medical researchers have warned about the risk of concussions (damagesto the brain caused by violent blows to the head) and death linked to brain injury.
USA Football, anIndianapolis,Indianabased nonprofit funded in part by the National Football League, believed that the increases resulted from better safety and health education.
"Football participation increases, even modest increases, may signal that programs such as our Heads Up Football program and practice guidelines are making a positive difference," said Scot Hallenbeck, USA Football chief executive, in a statement.
Robert Cantu, aBostonUniversityneurosurgery professor and investigator at the school's chronic Traumatic
Encephalopathy (CTE) Center said the increase in fag football participation signaled that more parents were directing children to a safe alternative
8. What can we learn about the two age groups?
A. Flag football grew the fastest in the 6-to-18 group.
B. Tackle football grew he fastest in the 6-to-14 group.
C. Participation in baseball declined the most in both groups
D. Participation in tackle football increased the most in both groups.
9. The underlined part probably means ________.
A working at a different pace
B. behaving in a different way
C. ignoring the major differences
D. trying to accept different opinions
10. The popularity of flag football is inked with the fact that
A. its rules have been adapted for young players
B. it receives more funds than other varieties
C. tackle football is an old-fashioned game
D. experts worry about children's safety
11. What is the cause of football growth according to USA Football?
A. Their safety programs are successful.
B. More children show interest in the game.
C. Football is less likely to cause concussions.
D. There are different types of football to choose from.
D
In Copenhagen, an 8-year dream was realized when the first paid skiers took their runs down a one-third-mile course (路线)．They skied on what is possibly the greenestpower factory in the world．The factory is so clean and safe that designers were able to turn its buildings into a new center for social life．
The waste-to-power factory itself opened in 2017 under the name Amager Bakke．Bjarke Ingels is the architect whosecompany came up with the idea eight years ago of designing a power plant building that would join mountain sports into its very nature．
“It is the cleanest waste-to-energy power plant in the world．It is not only better for the environment, it is
also moreenjoyable for the lives of its citizens.” Ingels says 97% of city people get their heating as a by-product of energy production．It comes from a system where the electricity, heating, and waste disposal (处理) are mixed into a single process．He dreams that it is also becoming an example that others can look to and say, “IfCopenhagencan do it why can' t we?"
There are no hills in this island city, but now people can ski locally, while enjoying the best views ever seen of the harbor．Another thing missing hereis snow cover throughout the winter, so designers set up a kind of special "plastic grass" that provides the perfect friction (摩擦力) for downhill winter sports．
In a country where 600, 000 skiers always had to travel to practice sking, to be able to finally ski in their backyard-and, all year round - is, as one skier said, “AMAZING．”
The company hopes to see 300, 000 visitors enjoying the experience of Copen hill each year, with the ski slope costing $ 22 an hour or just $ 366 for a full season pass．Meanwhile, the city is one step closer to its final goal of becoming the world's first carbon-neutral city by 2025．We thinkit might be all “down hill” from here．
12. How does the power factory produce electricity?
A. By using oil．
B. By using coal．
C. By usingwind．
D. By using waste．
13. What' s Ingels' dream according to the passage?
A. To make more tall buildings in different big cities．
B. To help more skiers to ski in high mountains．
C. There will be more green power factories in the world．
D. More and more people will ski in the power factory．
14. Where do the skiers ski in the power factory?
A. On man-made snow．
B. On man-made ice．
C. On plastic grass．
D. On real sand．
15. The underlined part “it might be all 'downhill' from here" means that________.
A. they will soon reach their final goal
B. they will soon draw many visitors
C. they will produce more electricity
D. they have difficulties reaching the goal
