17.While music has value all by itself,researchers have long noticed that musicians also tend to be better at learning languages and show other improved reading and math abilities.Now a new study from the University of Washington by Christina Zhao shows that rhythm is an important bridge between music and speech as early as nine moths of age.Researchers randomly placed babies into two groups of 20each,and each group played at the lab with their parents for a dozen 15-minute sessions over a month.
In one group,researchers played recordings of songs with a waltz rhythm and showed the parents how to help their babies tap out that 1-2-3beat in time with the music on boy drums or with their feet.In the other group,children played with typical toys and no music.
The babies in the music group were better able to detect random mistakes in that rhythm when they heard it within two weeks of the last session.They also showed a stronger brain response to disruptions in the rhythm.For example,researchers would sometimes alter the timing of syllables(音节)by slightly shortening the middle sound of a word like bibbi to make it bibi-and the babies with music training were more likely to notice it.
In other words,music training not only improved the babies'ability to notice when a musical rhythm skipped a beat,but also improved their ability to notice when the rhythms of speech changed unexpectedly,an important skill for learning to talk
The study reflects Zhao's personal experiences as a pianist who music in college,and as someone who speaks both Mandarin and English.She noticed that a lot of her fellow musicians were also good at learning other languages."That really got me wondering how these two are related,"Zhao said.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了研究发现音乐可以使人更善于学习语言,提高阅读和数学能力
解答 29.C.细节理解题.根据第二段Researchers randomly placed babies into two groups of 20each,and each group played at the lab with their parents for a dozen 15-minute sessions over a month可知研究是在实验室里进行的;故选C.
30.B.推理判断题.根据最后一段She noticed that a lot of her fellow musicians were also good at learning other languages."That really got me wondering how these two are related,"Zhao said可知Christina Zhao善于发现隐藏的关系;故选B.
31.D.推理判断题.根据文章In other words,music training not only improved the babies'ability to notice when a musical rhythm skipped a beat,but also improved their ability to notice when the rhythms of speech changed unexpectedly,an important skill for learning to talk可知本文最好的标题是音乐技能可以帮助宝宝学习语言;故选D
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
