The Worlds' Best Bookshops
There's nothing like being surrounded by books， wherever you are． Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you．
Daikanyama T﹣site | Tokyo
It is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful， crisscrossed architecture． Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves， there's the bar， the coffee shop， or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer． Grab a book， order a beer and dive into its pages． I could have stayed hours here．
City Lights | San Francisco
The three﹣storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry， fiction， translation， politics， history and the arts． It hosts events and readings， and runs a non﹣profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature． It's opposite Vesuvio， a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat﹣generation writers and artists．
Shakespeare and Company | Paris
I made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris． It has two floors packed with English﹣language texts， and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors ﹣ heartfelt messages to a loved one， dedications to the shop itself， or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher．
Hutatma Chowk | Mumbai
A few years ago I visited India， investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country． I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp﹣covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk （Martyrs' Square）． The booksellers here are like amateur librarians， able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for． To me， those well﹣thumbed （翻旧了的） books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling．
（1）In which bookshop can you buy a drink while visiting？
A． Daikanyama T﹣site
B． City Lights
C． Shakespeare and Company
D． Hutatma Chowk
（2）What can be learned about the book stalls at Hutatma Chowk？

B．They sell the cheapest books in the world．
C．The book owners are amateur librarians．
D．The sellers are familiar with the books．
（3）What do the four bookstores have in common？

2．（8分）Howard Weistling wanted to be a comic strip （连环漫画） artist． But when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor， he joined the Army．
After flight engineer training， Howard was shipped off to Europe． On his maiden flight， his plane was shot down over Austria． The entire crew of eight men landed safely． But a farmer found Howard hiding in his barn and turned him over to a prison of war camp in Barth， Germany． It was freezing and the men almost starved to death eating the guards' garbage．
Hungry and homesick Howard coped the only way he knew how． He drew a comic strip． The book， made of cigarette wrappers bound together with scrap metal， was sent around the camp． Every couple of days he would add a new panel． One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp． And they'd have something to look forward to．
After an entire year of this， they woke one morning to find their guards gone． They fled and Howard finally got to go home． Just lucky to get out alive， he left the book behind．
Back home in California， Howard soon had a wife and kids to feed so he had to set aside his dream of becoming an artist． He took a job as a gardener instead．
Morgan shared his father's artistic gifts． At 15 his parents sent him to art school． And Howard got to see his son become a well﹣known painter before he died in 2002． That's how， seven decades after the war， when a stranger in New York googled the name "Weistling，" he found Morgan online．
"I get an email from a gentleman and he says， ‘I think I may have some drawings your father did when he was a POW （prisoner of war） in World War II，'" Morgan recalls． "‘Would you like them？' And I just stared at that email and started crying．"
Luckily Howard had engraved his name on the comic book， which is how the man from New York City had connected with Morgan． A couple of days later when it arrived in California， Morgan couldn't believe it． "It was like getting my father back，" Morgan says． "It was like him being able to tell me the story over again ﹣ only this time it was real in my hands．"
（1）The passage details Howard's life as a POW to show that ．
A．war cannot stop his pursuit of success
B．passion for art helped ease his sufferings
C．loss of freedom encouraged his creativity
D．misery drives him to fight against his fate
（2）What can we infer about Howard's comic strip in prison？
A．It satisfied prisoners' curiosity．
B．It aroused the guards' sympathy．
C．It was popular among the prisoners．
D．It raised prisoners' confidence in freedom．
（3）What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan？
A．The email from a gentleman．
B．Howard's experience in the war．
C．Morgan's recalling of his father．
D．Morgan's status in the field of art．
（4）What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph？
A．He didn't believe the stranger's story．
B．He was excited to get the comic strip．
C．He couldn't wait to tell others his good news．
D．He hadn't heard about his father's war stories．
3．（8分）Your brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you． Now， it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．
A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age． Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine﹣learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．
To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife， Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （认知的） testing since they were 3 years old．
When the volunteers， all aged between 43 and 46， underwent MRI brain scans， the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71． Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition， memory and IQ． The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly， and vice versa （反之亦然）． However， the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest﹣looking brains．
This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life． Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （痴呆） to be started sooner． This means treatments might have a better chance of working．
We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing， but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise， these aren't a bad place to start．
（1）What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing？
A．One's health condition．
B．A test result at the age of 3．
C．The actual age of one's brain．
D．A machine for medical check．
（2）What is the purpose of Elliott's research？
A．To find out why people look older or younger．
B．To measure people's brain age at different stages．
C．To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines．
D．To explore the relationship between brain age and future health．
（3）What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？
A．The influence of cognitive tests．
B．The procedure of Elliott's study．
C．The information about volunteers．
D．The findings of the brain research．
（4）What do the findings of the research imply？
A．We should test our brain age earliest possible．
B．People suffering dementia can go on working．
C．Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age．
D．Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing．
4．（8分）One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect， which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence． Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies． And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development． He was history's greatest child genius， performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．
So， if you have kids or you're expecting to have them， how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？ Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle （摇篮） be limited to an ordinary life？ Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？
Relax． There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities． The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993， which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的） skills． This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician， Don Campbell， in a book． Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities． In 1998， for example， the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical﹣music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．
Since then， scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it． The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999， and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible． In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development， and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．
（1）People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he ．
A． owned extraordinary music talent
B． could perform music as a child
C． offered music to pregnant women
D． was an royal Austrian composer
（2）What can we know about the small study in 1993？
A．It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．
B．It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．
C．It helped college students make academic progress．
D．It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．
（3）What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean？
A． Sudden．
B． Insignificant．
C． Average．
D． Steady．
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．New Findings： Mozart Effect to Be Proved
B．Secrets Uncovered： History of Mozart Effect
C．Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？
D．How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence？
第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．
5．（10分）Your comfort zone is a behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk． （1） You benefit in obvious ways： regular happiness， low anxiety， and reduced stress．
Leaving your comfort zone can have very positive results， though． For one thing， you'll surely be more productive if you're willing to move out of it． With the sense of unease that comes from having deadlines and expectations， you'll have the drive and ambition to do more and learn new things．（2） For another， learning to live outside your comfort zone can prepare you for life changes that force you out of it． Fear and uncertainty always exist in our life． By challenging yourself to things you normally wouldn't do， you can experience some of that uncertainty in a controlled and manageable environment．
While outside your comfort zone can be a good place to be，（3） ． You can start by doing everyday things differently． For example， you can take a different route to work or try a new restaurant． Besides， you should remember to break out in small steps． You get the same benefits whether you go with long strides （大步） or you start slow． If you're socially anxious， don't suppose you have to gather the courage to ask your crush （爱慕之人） on a date right away．
（4） Identify your fears， and then face them step by step．
Trying new things is difficult， so it's important to understand how habits form and how we can break them．（5）
A．It provides a state of mental security．
B．it's of great necessity to find ways to break out of it
C．it's a pleasant experience to stay in the comfort zone
D．You have to manage that stress and risk in a clever way．
E．Just say hello to them and see where you can go from there．
F．That means you will get more done and find smarter ways to work．
G．And it's as important to press yourself out of your comfort zone by doing specific things．

4．（8分）One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect， which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence． Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies． And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development． He was history's greatest child genius， performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．
So， if you have kids or you're expecting to have them， how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？ Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle （摇篮） be limited to an ordinary life？ Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？
Relax． There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities． The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993， which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的） skills． This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician， Don Campbell， in a book． Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities． In 1998， for example， the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical﹣music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．
Since then， scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it． The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999， and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible． In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development， and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．
（1）People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he A ．
A． owned extraordinary music talent
B． could perform music as a child
C． offered music to pregnant women
D． was an royal Austrian composer
（2）What can we know about the small study in 1993？ A
A．It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．
B．It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．
C．It helped college students make academic progress．
D．It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．
（3）What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean？ B
A． Sudden．
B． Insignificant．
C． Average．
D． Steady．
（4）What can be the best title for the text？ C
A．New Findings： Mozart Effect to Be Proved
B．Secrets Uncovered： History of Mozart Effect
C．Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？
D．How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence？
【分析】本文主要就"奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•莫扎特的音乐可以增加孩子的智力"这件事情展开了讨论和研究，科学家们也对莫扎特提高智力的说法进行了研究，但没有发现任何证据．
【解答】1． A 细节理解题．根据第一段"One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect， which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence． Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies． And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development． He was history's greatest child genius， performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．最流行的育儿观念之一是所谓的莫扎特效应，它说听奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•莫扎特的音乐可以增加孩子的智力．一些孕妇甚至用压在肚子上的耳机播放莫扎特的录音．不难看出莫扎特的他是历史上最伟大的儿童天才，在我们许多人满足于无调子的歌唱"我是一个小茶壶"的年龄，他为国王和王后演奏了令人惊讶的音乐．"们把莫扎特和儿童智力发展联系起来是因为他 拥有非凡的音乐天赋．故选A．
2． A 细节理解题．根据第三段"The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993， which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的） skills． This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician， Don Campbell， in a book． Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities．整个想法来自于1993年的一项小型研究，该研究发现，在D大调（K448）听莫扎特两钢琴奏鸣曲的大学生在空间技能测试中表现出了一定的进步这一发现后来被一位音乐家唐•坎贝尔（Don Campbell）在一本书中描述为一件非常惊人的事情．坎贝尔关于莫扎特音乐超能力的说法被媒体无休止地重复，并激起了对以莫扎特为基础的丰富活动的狂热．"可知1993年的小研究增加了莫扎特音乐的受欢迎程度．故选A．
3． B 词义猜测题．根据划线词所在的句子"Since then， scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it． The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999， and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible． In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development， and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．此后，科学家们对莫扎特提高智力的说法进行了研究，但没有发现任何证据．1999年对最初的大学生实验进行了回顾，发现学生空间技能的提高可以（ ）2007年，德国联邦教育和研究部要求一个小组专家们对有关莫扎特和儿童发展的科学文献进行了研究，他们没有理由相信这会增加智力．"可知的意思应该和"但没有发现任何证据．"差不多，所以和B项" Insignificant无关紧要的"意思一致．故选B．
4． C 文章标题．阅读全文以及根据第一段"One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect， which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence．最流行的育儿观念之一是所谓的莫扎特效应，它说听奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•莫扎特的音乐可以增加孩子的智力．"可知本文主要就"奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•莫扎特的音乐可以增加孩子的智力"这件事情展开了讨论和研究，所以C"Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？"作为标题最好．故选C．

详解：
1． learn改为learning，考查动名词，devote time to doing sth投入时间做某事．
2． subject改为subjects，考查名词的数，subject为可数名词，前面有different，所以用复数名词．
3． that改为which，考查非限制性定语从句，先行词为物，在非限制性定语从句中做主语，所以用which引导．
4． know改为known，考查过去分词，be known as被称之为，所以用过去分词作后置定语．
5． share前面加to，考查固定搭配，allow sb to do sth允许某人做某事．
6． offer改为offers，考查主谓一致，主语为it，所以用第三人称单数谓语．
7． 去掉the，考查冠词，此处为泛指，所以不用定冠词．
8． we改为they，考查人称代词，指代前面的many people，所以用they做主语．
9． Therefore改为However，考查副词，根据句意"我也会在未来分享有趣的视频．但是，我从来没有想过要出名．"，可知前后是转折关系，所以用however表达．
10． happily改为happy，考查形容词，作宾补，所以用形容词．
【点评】1． 先通读全文．认真阅读短文，在做题之前确保已经弄清原文大意．注意文章中上下文的逻辑关系是否正确，时态、人称、主谓、指代等是否一致．
2．聚焦出题热点、综合运用所学语言知识，分句（注意以句子为单位而不是以行为单位）对不同的错误情况进行分析和回答（即改词、加词或减词）．
3．再次通读全文，校对自己的改正是否正确．一般各种改错的方式都应该用到，如果出现了某一种改法（如加词、减词等）没有用到，要考虑自己的改错应该有问题，要对刚才不是很有把握的行进行推敲．在自己认为正确的行后划勾，并且校对其他行改正的符号是否准确，大小写是否拼写正确（这点同学们很容易忽视）．如果某一行有两种改错方式要推敲哪一种是最佳改法．

1．（6分）
The Worlds' Best Bookshops
There's nothing like being surrounded by books， wherever you are． Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you．
Daikanyama T﹣site | Tokyo
It is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful， crisscrossed architecture． Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves， there's the bar， the coffee shop， or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer． Grab a book， order a beer and dive into its pages． I could have stayed hours here．
City Lights | San Francisco
The three﹣storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry， fiction， translation， politics， history and the arts． It hosts events and readings， and runs a non﹣profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature． It's opposite Vesuvio， a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat﹣generation writers and artists．
Shakespeare and Company | Paris
I made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris． It has two floors packed with English﹣language texts， and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors ﹣ heartfelt messages to a loved one， dedications to the shop itself， or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher．
Hutatma Chowk | Mumbai
A few years ago I visited India， investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country． I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp﹣covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk （Martyrs' Square）． The booksellers here are like amateur librarians， able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for． To me， those well﹣thumbed （翻旧了的） books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling．
（1）In which bookshop can you buy a drink while visiting？
A． Daikanyama T﹣site
B． City Lights
C． Shakespeare and Company

2．（8分）Howard Weistling wanted to be a comic strip （连环漫画） artist． But when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor， he joined the Army．
After flight engineer training， Howard was shipped off to Europe． On his maiden flight， his plane was shot down over Austria． The entire crew of eight men landed safely． But a farmer found Howard hiding in his barn and turned him over to a prison of war camp in Barth， Germany． It was freezing and the men almost starved to death eating the guards' garbage．
Hungry and homesick Howard coped the only way he knew how． He drew a comic strip． The book， made of cigarette wrappers bound together with scrap metal， was sent around the camp． Every couple of days he would add a new panel． One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp． And they'd have something to look forward to．
After an entire year of this， they woke one morning to find their guards gone． They fled and Howard finally got to go home． Just lucky to get out alive， he left the book behind．
Back home in California， Howard soon had a wife and kids to feed so he had to set aside his dream of becoming an artist． He took a job as a gardener instead．
Morgan shared his father's artistic gifts． At 15 his parents sent him to art school． And Howard got to see his son become a well﹣known painter before he died in 2002． That's how， seven decades after the war， when a stranger in New York googled the name "Weistling，" he found Morgan online．
"I get an email from a gentleman and he says， ‘I think I may have some drawings your father did when he was a POW （prisoner of war） in World War II，'" Morgan recalls． "‘Would you like them？' And I just stared at that email and started crying．"
Luckily Howard had engraved his name on the comic book， which is how the man from New York City had connected with Morgan． A couple of days later when it arrived in California， Morgan couldn't believe it． "It was like getting my father back，" Morgan says． "It was like him being able to tell me the story over again ﹣ only this time it was real in my hands．"
（1）The passage details Howard's life as a POW to show that ．
A．war cannot stop his pursuit of success
B．passion for art helped ease his sufferings
C．loss of freedom encouraged his creativity
D．misery drives him to fight against his fate
（2）What can we infer about Howard's comic strip in prison？
A．It satisfied prisoners' curiosity．
B．It aroused the guards' sympathy．
C．It was popular among the prisoners．
D．It raised prisoners' confidence in freedom．
（3）What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan？
A．The email from a gentleman．
B．Howard's experience in the war．
C．Morgan's recalling of his father．
D．Morgan's status in the field of art．
（4）What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph？
A．He didn't believe the stranger's story．
B．He was excited to get the comic strip．
C．He couldn't wait to tell others his good news．
D．He hadn't heard about his father's war stories．
3．（8分）Your brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you． Now， it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．
A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age． Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine﹣learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．
To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife， Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （认知的） testing since they were 3 years old．
When the volunteers， all aged between 43 and 46， underwent MRI brain scans， the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71． Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition， memory and IQ． The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly， and vice versa （反之亦然）． However， the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest﹣looking brains．
This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life． Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （痴呆） to be started sooner． This means treatments might have a better chance of working．
We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing， but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise， these aren't a bad place to start．
（1）What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing？
A．One's health condition．
B．A test result at the age of 3．
C．The actual age of one's brain．
D．A machine for medical check．
（2）What is the purpose of Elliott's research？
A．To find out why people look older or younger．
B．To measure people's brain age at different stages．
C．To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines．
D．To explore the relationship between brain age and future health．
（3）What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？
A．The influence of cognitive tests．
B．The procedure of Elliott's study．
C．The information about volunteers．
D．The findings of the brain research．
（4）What do the findings of the research imply？
A．We should test our brain age earliest possible．
B．People suffering dementia can go on working．
C．Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age．
D．Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing．
4．（8分）One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect， which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence． Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies． And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development． He was history's greatest child genius， performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．
So， if you have kids or you're expecting to have them， how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？ Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle （摇篮） be limited to an ordinary life？ Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？
Relax． There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities． The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993， which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的） skills． This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician， Don Campbell， in a book． Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities． In 1998， for example， the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical﹣music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．
Since then， scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it． The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999， and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible． In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development， and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．
（1）People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he ．
A． owned extraordinary music talent
B． could perform music as a child
C． offered music to pregnant women
D． was an royal Austrian composer
（2）What can we know about the small study in 1993？
A．It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．
B．It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．
C．It helped college students make academic progress．
D．It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．
（3）What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean？
A． Sudden．
B． Insignificant．
C． Average．
D． Steady．
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．New Findings： Mozart Effect to Be Proved
B．Secrets Uncovered： History of Mozart Effect
C．Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？
D．How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence？

5．（10分）Your comfort zone is a behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk． （1） You benefit in obvious ways： regular happiness， low anxiety， and reduced stress．
Leaving your comfort zone can have very positive results， though． For one thing， you'll surely be more productive if you're willing to move out of it． With the sense of unease that comes from having deadlines and expectations， you'll have the drive and ambition to do more and learn new things．（2） For another， learning to live outside your comfort zone can prepare you for life changes that force you out of it． Fear and uncertainty always exist in our life． By challenging yourself to things you normally wouldn't do， you can experience some of that uncertainty in a controlled and manageable environment．
While outside your comfort zone can be a good place to be，（3） ． You can start by doing everyday things differently． For example， you can take a different route to work or try a new restaurant． Besides， you should remember to break out in small steps． You get the same benefits whether you go with long strides （大步） or you start slow． If you're socially anxious， don't suppose you have to gather the courage to ask your crush （爱慕之人） on a date right away．
（4） Identify your fears， and then face them step by step．
Trying new things is difficult， so it's important to understand how habits form and how we can break them．（5）
A．It provides a state of mental security．
B．it's of great necessity to find ways to break out of it
C．it's a pleasant experience to stay in the comfort zone
D．You have to manage that stress and risk in a clever way．
E．Just say hello to them and see where you can go from there．
F．That means you will get more done and find smarter ways to work．
G．And it's as important to press yourself out of your comfort zone by doing specific things．

3．（8分）Your brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you． Now， it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．
A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age． Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine﹣learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．
To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife， Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （认知的） testing since they were 3 years old．
When the volunteers， all aged between 43 and 46， underwent MRI brain scans， the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71． Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition， memory and IQ． The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly， and vice versa （反之亦然）． However， the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest﹣looking brains．
This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life． Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （痴呆） to be started sooner． This means treatments might have a better chance of working．
We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing， but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise， these aren't a bad place to start．
（1）What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing？ B
A．One's health condition．
B．A test result at the age of 3．
C．The actual age of one's brain．
D．A machine for medical check．
（2）What is the purpose of Elliott's research？ D
A．To find out why people look older or younger．
B．To measure people's brain age at different stages．
C．To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines．
D．To explore the relationship between brain age and future health．
（3）What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？ D
A．The influence of cognitive tests．
B．The procedure of Elliott's study．
C．The information about volunteers．
D．The findings of the brain research．
（4）What do the findings of the research imply？ C
A．We should test our brain age earliest possible．
B．People suffering dementia can go on working．
C．Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age．
D．Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing．

2．D．推理判断题．根据文章第三段，To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife， Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （认知的） testing since they were 3 years old．为了找出大脑年龄是否能揭示一个人中年时的健康状况，北卡罗莱纳州杜克大学的Max Elliott 和他的同事对新西兰869名成年人的大脑进行了评估，这些成年人从3岁起就接受了常规的医学和认知测试．可知，Elliott的研究是了找出人的年纪和身体健康之间的关系，故选D．
3．D．段落大意题．根据文章第四段，When the volunteers， all aged between 43 and 46， underwent MRI brain scans， the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71． Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition， memory and IQ． The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly， and vice versa （反之亦然）． However， the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest﹣looking brains．当这些年龄在43岁到46岁之间的志愿者接受核磁共振脑扫描时，研究小组发现他们的脑年龄在23岁到71岁之间．那些脑年龄较大的人在认知、记忆和智商测试中表现较差．研究人员还发现，一些人的脑年龄非常高，但他们的身体似乎老化缓慢然而，研究小组发现，那些在3岁时在认知测试中得分最高的人，却拥有最年轻的大脑．可知，第四段主要讲述的是Elliott的研究结果，结合选项，故选D．
4．C．细节理解题．根据文章倒数第二段，This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life． Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （痴呆） to be started sooner． 这表明，我们可能能够在生命早期就判断出谁有加速大脑老化的风险．研究人员希望，在生命早期预测大脑老化可以使痴呆症等疾病的治疗更早开始．可知，这个研究结果表明，大脑的老化可以在很早的年龄就检测出来，并可以采取相应的措施．结合选项，故选C．

4．（8分）One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect， which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence． Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies． And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development． He was history's greatest child genius， performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．
So， if you have kids or you're expecting to have them， how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？ Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle （摇篮） be limited to an ordinary life？ Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？
Relax． There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities． The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993， which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的） skills． This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician， Don Campbell， in a book． Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities． In 1998， for example， the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical﹣music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．
Since then， scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it． The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999， and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible． In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development， and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．
（1）People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he A ．
A． owned extraordinary music talent
B． could perform music as a child
C． offered music to pregnant women
D． was an royal Austrian composer
（2）What can we know about the small study in 1993？ A
A．It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．
B．It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．
C．It helped college students make academic progress．
D．It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．
（3）What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean？ B
A． Sudden．
B． Insignificant．
C． Average．
D． Steady．
（4）What can be the best title for the text？ C
A．New Findings： Mozart Effect to Be Proved
B．Secrets Uncovered： History of Mozart Effect
C．Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？
D．How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence？
【分析】本文主要就"奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•莫扎特的音乐可以增加孩子的智力"这件事情展开了讨论和研究，科学家们也对莫扎特提高智力的说法进行了研究，但没有发现任何证据．
【解答】1． A 细节理解题．根据第一段"One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect， which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence． Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies． And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development． He was history's greatest child genius， performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．最流行的育儿观念之一是所谓的莫扎特效应，它说听奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•莫扎特的音乐可以增加孩子的智力．一些孕妇甚至用压在肚子上的耳机播放莫扎特的录音．不难看出莫扎特的他是历史上最伟大的儿童天才，在我们许多人满足于无调子的歌唱"我是一个小茶壶"的年龄，他为国王和王后演奏了令人惊讶的音乐．"们把莫扎特和儿童智力发展联系起来是因为他 拥有非凡的音乐天赋．故选A．
2． A 细节理解题．根据第三段"The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993， which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的） skills． This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician， Don Campbell， in a book． Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities．整个想法来自于1993年的一项小型研究，该研究发现，在D大调（K448）听莫扎特两钢琴奏鸣曲的大学生在空间技能测试中表现出了一定的进步这一发现后来被一位音乐家唐•坎贝尔（Don Campbell）在一本书中描述为一件非常惊人的事情．坎贝尔关于莫扎特音乐超能力的说法被媒体无休止地重复，并激起了对以莫扎特为基础的丰富活动的狂热．"可知1993年的小研究增加了莫扎特音乐的受欢迎程度．故选A．
3． B 词义猜测题．根据划线词所在的句子"Since then， scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it． The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999， and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible． In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development， and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．此后，科学家们对莫扎特提高智力的说法进行了研究，但没有发现任何证据．1999年对最初的大学生实验进行了回顾，发现学生空间技能的提高可以（ ）2007年，德国联邦教育和研究部要求一个小组专家们对有关莫扎特和儿童发展的科学文献进行了研究，他们没有理由相信这会增加智力．"可知的意思应该和"但没有发现任何证据．"差不多，所以和B项" Insignificant无关紧要的"意思一致．故选B．

【点评】语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力，在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，在读懂短文的基础上，结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析，逐题解答．扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解是解答语法填空题的关键．

As a typical student of Senior 3， I devote most time to learn each day， with different subject to study and lots of homework to do． In my spare time， I love watching TikTok videos， that are really amusing and always make me feel relaxed．

【解答】As a typical student of Senior 3， I devote most time to learn each day， with different subject to study and lots of homework to do． In my spare time， I love watching TikTok videos， that are really amusing and always make me feel relaxed．
TikTok， also know as Douyin in China， allows users∧ share 15﹣second videos． It is extremely popular and offer people a chance to show their talents． Many people have become the big stars since we shared videos on TikTok． I will also share funny videos in the future． Therefore， I've never thought of becoming famous． Instead， I just want to make others happily．
详解：
1． learn改为learning，考查动名词，devote time to doing sth投入时间做某事．
2． subject改为subjects，考查名词的数，subject为可数名词，前面有different，所以用复数名词．
3． that改为which，考查非限制性定语从句，先行词为物，在非限制性定语从句中做主语，所以用which引导．
4． know改为known，考查过去分词，be known as被称之为，所以用过去分词作后置定语．
5． share前面加to，考查固定搭配，allow sb to do sth允许某人做某事．
6． offer改为offers，考查主谓一致，主语为it，所以用第三人称单数谓语．
7． 去掉the，考查冠词，此处为泛指，所以不用定冠词．
8． we改为they，考查人称代词，指代前面的many people，所以用they做主语．
9． Therefore改为However，考查副词，根据句意"我也会在未来分享有趣的视频．但是，我从来没有想过要出名．"，可知前后是转折关系，所以用however表达．
10． happily改为happy，考查形容词，作宾补，所以用形容词．
【点评】1． 先通读全文．认真阅读短文，在做题之前确保已经弄清原文大意．注意文章中上下文的逻辑关系是否正确，时态、人称、主谓、指代等是否一致．
2．聚焦出题热点、综合运用所学语言知识，分句（注意以句子为单位而不是以行为单位）对不同的错误情况进行分析和回答（即改词、加词或减词）．
3．再次通读全文，校对自己的改正是否正确．一般各种改错的方式都应该用到，如果出现了某一种改法（如加词、减词等）没有用到，要考虑自己的改错应该有问题，要对刚才不是很有把握的行进行推敲．在自己认为正确的行后划勾，并且校对其他行改正的符号是否准确，大小写是否拼写正确（这点同学们很容易忽视）．如果某一行有两种改错方式要推敲哪一种是最佳改法．
