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在大脑中产生了深刻而持久的变化,它可以提高心理机能,帮助大脑.
解答 51-55 CDABC 56-60 ABBDA 61-65 BCBAB
51.C.考查同位语从句;空格后的that从句为空格词汇的一个同位语从句,因为that在句中不充当任何成分四个抽象名词辨析也需注意;故选C.
52.D.考查状语从句固定搭配;根据文章it was not long before,用来表述"时隔不多久".在这篇cloze中,也是作者为了突显莫扎特效应对于心情迫切的家长所产生的迅速影响,从而使用了not long before的句型;故选D.
53.A.考查动词辨析.Propel为向前推进,propose为提议,建议做某事,submit为服从于,subject则为使…奴役,屈从.根据题意佐治亚州的州长甚至推出每一个新生儿一个经典的CD或磁带,故选propose;故选A.
54.B.考查名词辨析.一个although形成从句与主句之间的让步关系,句末的一个more than a temporary and limited effect已经点名了是要选择一个能用来证明莫扎特效应的确存在的抽象名词,witness为证词,symptom为症状,context为文本,evidence为证据,四个词中,witness最为贴和文章意图;故选B.
55.C.考查句意理解.recent是近期,advanced是提前,original原始的,最初的,latest最新的莫扎特效应在一开始是没有被在实验室里有效验证的;故选C.
56.A.考查连词辨析.根据上文可知最新的莫扎特效应在一开始是没有被在实验室里有效验证的,所以,近期科学家所做的事情也就是下文的重要内容便是通过实验效果来验证莫扎特效应的存在.这样一来,逻辑连词便很容易看出是选择有转折含义的however;故选A.
57.B.考查固定搭配.句意是通过实验效果来验证莫扎特效应的存在,固定搭配once in a while意为偶尔;故选B.
58.B.考查名词辨析.organism为生物的有机体,mechanism为机械装置,mechanic为机械,句意为高级监测技术让科学家们看到当你听妈妈的话时的现象;只有techniques为符合题意的技术;故选B.
59.D.考查名词辨析.其实是对上文中提及的音乐教育行为的二次描述,因此在这里,联系通过上下文的逻辑,便可得知此处要强调的是音乐教育的确能促进大脑的发育;故选D.
60.A.考查名词辨析.其实是对上文中提及的音乐教育行为的二次描述,因此在这里,联系通过上下文的逻辑,便可得知此处要强调的是音乐教育的确能促进大脑的发育.accelerate为加速,introduce为引入,elaborate为精心制作.只有enhance表示提高,促进,故选A.
61.B.考查动词辨析.通过上文的逻辑我们可以判断,这段是要通过实验来验证音乐的确是行之有效的促进大脑发育的方法.段末的这句也是要想世人昭示这一点.顺理成章地选择convince,使人信服;故选B.
62.C.考查形容词辨析.Urgent,迫切的,causal,随意的,diligent,孜孜不倦的,solemn,庄重的,四个词中,前两个正好与原意相反,因为,选择diligent;故选C.
63.B.考查动词辨析.根据句意为从小训练可以帮助大脑出力听力变得更好;Proceed为继续进行,process为处理,prefer为偏好,predict为预言.只有process一项符合题意;故选B.
64.A.考查形容词辨析.easier更简单;harder更坚硬;tougher更艰难;faster更快速;本题根据文只知道是使聚焦在吸收其他学科知识变得简单;故选A.
65.B.考查介词搭配.通过上文便可得知,音乐教育还能让人学会专心于某项任务,因此此处选择concentrate,专心致志于某事;故选B.
点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,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.此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断.
