【题目】For many, music is as important to the human experience as eating and breathing. We hear music everywhere—at home, the gym, parties and stores. But what kind of music do we prefer to listen to, and when and why do our musical preferences change?

The relationship between the change of seasons and musical preferences was the focus of a study led by psychologist Terry Pettijohn. He and his team based their research on a previous study that examined the relationship between popular music preferences and the Environmental Security Hypothesis(假设). The results showed that over time, when social and financial conditions were more risky, the songs of the year that were slower, longer, more comforting and serious were most popular. And during periods in which social and financial conditions were generally stable, the result was opposite.

Building on these findings, Pettijohn and his team wondered if the Hypothesis could also be applied to the change of seasons. For college students, the participants in this study, autumn begins at the start of the school year. Gone are the carefree days of summer, when school is out. Winter means colder temperatures, shorter days, and, in many places in the country, snow. Spring, however, is a different story. It represents a fresh start and when clocks spring forward, we gain an extra hour of daylight. As students walk into summer, they’re absorbed in the sunshine and social activities—and enjoy a break from school.

But do changing seasonal conditions influence musical preferences? To answer this question, the researchers designed two studies. What did they find? Both groups of college students favored more serious music during the seasons of fall and winter, and more active and energetic music during the spring and summer seasons. And these findings, Pettijohn argues, have practical significances.

1The purpose of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is to ________.

A. present a different opinion on music

B. prove where to listen to music matters

C. stress the importance of music to humans

D. introduce the topic on musical preferences

2What influences a person’s choice of music types according to the previous study?

A. Whether one has enough free time.

B. Whether one lives in a stable situation.

C. Whether one is exposed to sunlight.

D. Whether one chooses to change his life.

3What does Paragraph 3 imply?

A. Students aren’t fond of school in any season.

B. Spring has a special meaning to people.

C. The Hypothesis disagrees with Pettijohn’s studies.

D. The length of summer time is longer than that of winter time.

4How does Pettijohn feel about the findings of his studies?

A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s humorous.

C. It’s discouraging. D. It’s significant.

【题目】 Earlier this summer, after packing my rucksack for a wild-camping holiday, I gazed at my belongings, and made a final adjustment to the contents of my bag.1

I quickly emailed my travel companion, a photographer friend called Jacob to make sure I could have some pictures of our trip afterwards, so I could pop a few up on Instagram when I returned. And then I set off, feeling — for the first time in a number of trips — that I was genuinely escaping the stresses and strains of my everyday life.2Because the way stress locates us, these days, is via our phones.

3However, I've realized that for a holiday really to function as a holiday, I need an escape from social status anxiety , from caring about “likes”, and from having to photograph every tiny detail of life to prove our existence. When we overshare a glossy version of our trip online, we miss out on talking about our trips when we return, which is part of the joy of travel. Posting in the moment denies us this opportunity to relive (回味) our experience, and prolong that holiday feeling.4

During my three-day Insta-break, my stress levels decrease quickly within 24 hours.5I made mental notes of funny moments, cultural observations, tips and when I returned, I had interesting, detailed chats with friends about my time away.

A.I also changed how I processed the trip itself.

B.So I am fully supportive of screen-free holidays.

C.I took out my iPhone, and threw it under my bed.

D.1 would lose track of my coworkers, my friends and my family.

E.None of them could touch me for the next three glorious days.

F.So this summer, as you plan your trip, ask if you can delete Instagram.

G.As a travel writer, abandoning my phone for my holiday felt like the extreme betrayal.
