UNIT 5  单元仿真综合检测阅读理解ABorn in 1965, Shania Twain was the second of five children in her family. At the age of two, she moved with her mother and two sisters to Timmins, a town north of Toronto. When Shania was eight years old, her mother took her to many different bars, clubs and concerts to perform. In high school, Shania joined a local band, with which she often performed. After that, Shania moved to Toronto, where she continued singing.When Shania was 21 years old, her parents were killed in a car accident. She had to take over the role of parent to her younger siblings (兄弟姐妹). Taking care of two teenage brothers and a sister was a_Gordian_knot. Suddenly, she had to pay the bills, keep food on the table, and make a living. Anyway, Shania managed to pay the bills by singing here and there.In 1991, Shania went to Nashville, the home of the country music industry. In 1993, she recorded Shania Twain, her first CD. In 1995, her next CD, The Woman in Me, which had eight hit songs, sold more than ten million copies. Her third CD, Come on Over, was also popular and she had another hit song.Shania and Robert Lange, a famous producer, got married in 1993. After finishing her 2000 world tour, she decided to take a break from performing. In August 2001, they had a lovely son, whom they named Eja. After September 11th, Shania decided to spend more time on her family and stayed at home until the fall of 2002.

Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙)．Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued_to_a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.Music builds self­confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self­expression, and that helps develop their self­confidence.Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.25．According to the passage, music could make students smarter by ________. A．improving their classroom skills and paying attention B．improving their classroom skills and imagination C．improving their attention, direction and imagination D．learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas26．What does the underlined phrase “glued to” in the second paragraph mean? A．Unwilling to turn on.　　　 B．Always looking. C．Unwilling to leave.  D．Always playing.27．The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could ________. A．give children self­expression and self­confidence B．bring to children achievement and success C．give children something to be proud of D．develop children's self­confidence CBackground music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with, “muzak” (音乐广播网) was intended simply to create a soothing (安慰) atmosphere. Recently, however, it's become big business — thanks in part to recent research. Dr Ronald Milliman, an American marketing expert, has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.However, it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. Dr Milliman found, for example, that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play uptempo music to keep the customers moving — unless of course, the resulting indigestion (消化不良) leads to complaints!28．Background music means ________. A．light music that customers enjoy most B．fast music that makes people move fast C．slow music that can make customers enjoy their meals D．the music you are listening to while you are doing something29．Restaurant owners complain about slow music because ________. A．it results in indigestion B．it increases their sales C．it keeps customers moving D．it decreases their sales30．We can know from the text that ________. A．background music was first used in big department stores B．proper music can increase the selling of goods C．light music has a bad effect on production D．restaurant owners had better play slow music to comfort their customers任务型阅读How to protect your earsYou and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night.

Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious — and irreversible (不可逆转的) — hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss. __32__ But the good news is that there are plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage — and still listen to the music you love.Ask around.Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you're listening to. __33__ Turn it down.Buy noise­canceling headphones.A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volume.Take breaks. __34__ So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.__35__ You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts — or while playing or practicing your own music — without changing the quality of the sound.A．Use earplugs.B．Keep the volume below 70 percent.C．If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.D．But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.E．Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.F．Unfortunately, there's no way to get back hearing you've already lost.G．The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation. 完形填空Most parents send care packages and gifts to their children when they're away at university.Terri Cox, from Leonardtown, Maryland, isn't one of those __36__.A few weeks ago, Terri sent her son, 18­year­old Connor, who's now away at Westminster College in Pennsylvania, a(n) __37__.When Connor first __38__ the package, he thought it was a __39__ gift filled with necessities (必需品)．“I was __40__， because it's like Christmas when you get mail from __41__ when you're in college，” he said.__42__ as Connor opened the package, what was actually inside couldn't have been further from what he had __43__.It wasn't a __44__， a care package, or even college supplies.It was something he'd __45__ while at home for the Christmas break — his __46__.The box was filled with trash (垃圾) — everything he was too __47__ to take out when his mother had __48__ him to over Christmas.In fact, Connor failed to do all of his __49__ at home.So Mom Terri got the idea to post his rubbish to him to __50__ him.Connor didn't __51__ why his mom did this to him until he gave her a call. “She isn't usually __52__， and I didn't see this as a big punishment.It was more of a(n) __53__ reminder (提醒) that I have duties.And we have a good laugh on the phone，” he added.Connor later said that the rubbish he'd received in the box was only a part of what he was actually meant to __54__.Where was the rest?
