Unit 5 Music
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2017·湖北省八校高三联考)Have you ever found yourself in this situation：You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child—a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past”，as we say.But it is not a distant childhood memory.The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language.They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.
Here is what they did.Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20.Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions.Researchers had one group simply speak the words.They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm，or beat.And they asked the third group to sing the words.
All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for15 minutes.Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered. Why Hungarian，you ask？Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language.It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages，such as Italian or Spanish.After the tests were over，the singers came out on top.The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance.They did the best in four out of five of the tests.They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.
Dr.Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3 or memorable 4，tune 5.
Dr.Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages.On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr.Ludke writes，“This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language，learning，and opens the door for future research in this area.”

A．recall the past B．attract the readers C．introduce the topic
D．compare the childhood with the present
C [推理判断题。该题提问的是第一段提及“song”的意图是什么。本文开头通过“song”举例导入话题，从而引出下文对于音乐和外语学习之间关系的研究。故C项正确。]

B．the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words
C．a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner D．Dr.Katie Overy and Dr.Ludke disagree with each other

are influenced by society，our family，the education we receive and so on.1.
Financial experts say that everyone also has their own beliefs of how to manage their finances.This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.
2． They are：the ant，the cricket and the snail. The ant—works first
3． They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire.Ants love to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.
The cricket—enjoys first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future.They even borrow money when they really want something.4. These people have little savings.When they get old，they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.
The snail—lives under pressure

B．On the other hand，many old people belong to this group.
C．According to our different values，experts put us in three categories. D．The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves.

G．Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter，these people don't care about enjoying the moment.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了不同的价值观带来的不同理财观念。
1．E [本空是一个段落主旨句，用来总结本段的大意，起承上启下的作用，所以选E项。E项中的this value system指上文中的“a set of our own values or beliefs”，同时呼应下文中的“our value system”。]
2．C [本空主要用来引出后一句话，所以选C项。]
3．G [由空后的“They work very hard and save money”“Ants love to save”可知，应选G项。G项中的“like ants who work heart...to store food for winter”与之对应。]

(get) in contact (接触) 9. her Indian roots too，so we are planning to visit there later this year.All her Indian 10. (cousin) are expecting to meet her!
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。“我”出生在英国西北部的一个小镇，在十八岁时离开那里去求学；“我”的父母早在20世纪70年代从印度迁到英国。“我”认为伴随着两个不同文化成长是礼物而不是缺点。
1．the [考查冠词。the 1970s为固定用法，意为“20世纪70年代”；表示“某世纪某年代”时应在数字前加the。]
2．spoke [考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“As a child，I went”可以判断，该句讲述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，故应用speak的过去式spoke。]
3．feeling [考查非谓语动词。remember doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“记得(曾经)做过某事”；根据语境可知，这里指记得曾经发生的事情，故用feeling]。
4．bigger [考查形容词的比较级。根据上文中的big和该句中的even可以判断，空处应用big的比较级bigger。]
5．really [考查副词。根据空后的influenced可以判断，空处修饰动词，故用该词的副词形式really。]
6．though/if [考查固定搭配。他们过去常常将印度当作家乡来谈论，即使那时“我”

从没有到过那里。even though/if为固定搭配，意为“尽管，即使”。]
7．disadvantage [考查行文逻辑。根据该句中的“a gift，not...”可以判断，此处表示伴随着两种文化成长是一件礼物，而不是缺点。故用advantage的反义词disadvantage。]
8．to get [考查非谓语动词。want sb.to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“想要某人做某事”。]
9．with [考查介词搭配。in contact with为固定介词短语，意为“与……有关”。] 10．cousins [考查名词的数。根据该句中的All和are可知，应用名词的复数形式。] Ⅳ.短文改错
