8.A new study finds that our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the music makes us feel.Mozart's"Flute Concerto No.1in G Major"is most often associated with bright yellow and orange,whereas his"Requiem in D Minor"is linked to bluish gray,the findings revealed.US researchers from the University of California,Berkeley,enlisted nearly 100subjects for a study on music and color.With 37colors,the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pair faster-paced music in a major key with lighter,more vivid,yellow colors,whereas slower-paced music in a minor key is more likely to be teamed up with darker,grayer,bluer colors.
"Surprisingly,we can predict with 95percent accuracy how happy or sad the colors people pick will be based on how happy or sad the music is that they are listening to,"said lead author and UC Berkeley vision scientist Stephen Palmer.
In three experiments,the subjects listened to 18classical music pieces that varied in pace (slow,medium,fast) and in major VS minor keys.In the first experiment,participants were asked to pick five of the 37colors that best matched the music to which they were listening.Separately,they rated each piece of music on a scale of happy to sad,strong to weak,lively to dull,and calm to angry.
Next,the research team plans to study particiapants in Turkey where traditional music employs a wider range of scales than just major and minor."We know that in Mexico and the US the responses are very similar,"Palmer said."But we don't yet know about China or Turkey."
8.What can we know about Mozart's"Flute Concerto No.1G Major"?A
A.It is fast in pace.

C.It makes us feel upset.
D It makes us feel optimistic.

A.There are colors that do not match any music.
B.People tend to connect happy colors to slow-paced music
C.There is a one-to-one connection between music and color.
D.People nearly do the same in picking colors for different music.
10.How did the researchers do the research?C
A.By making predictions.
B.By researching journals.
C.By conducting experiments.
D.By studying famous musicians.
11.According to the text,the research mainly deals withB

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音乐和个人视觉感受的一些科学研究成果
解答 8.A.细节理解题.根据第一段Mozart's"Flute Concerto No.1 in G Major"is most often associated withbright yellow and orange,和根据第三段the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pair faster-paced music in a major key with lighter,more vivid,yellow colors,可知莫扎特的"长笛协奏曲no.1g大调"节奏很快;故选A.
9.D.细节理解题.根据第三段Surprisingly,we can predict with 95 percent accuracy how happy or sad thecolors people pick will be based on how happy or sad the music is that they are listening to.可知美国研究人员从这项新研究的结果中发现了人们在挑选不同音乐的颜色时几乎一样;故D选项正确.
10.C.细节理解题.根据第四段In three experiments,the subjects listened to 18classical music pieces that varied in pace (slow,medium,fast) and in major VS minor keys可以得知科学家选取不同的人和不同的音乐做实验,因此选C.
11.B.推理判断题.根据第一段A new study finds that our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the music makes us feel可知本研究主要研究你的情绪会影响音乐的色彩;故选B.
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.
