9、chers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch (音调).One of the

10、studys authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”. This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with lan

11、guage problems.Mandarin (普通话) speakers have been shown to have more complex encoding (编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single-syllable word can have several meanings depending on how i

12、t is intoned.For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non- Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard the audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its me

13、anings: squint, bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stem to see how well they were processing the sounds.

22、tance walking if you want to be physically healthy.分析：句中Itis. that （第一个）.为强调句型，强调原因状语for this reason。if引导条件状语从句；第二个that引导宾语从句。译文：正是出于这一原因，如果你想身体健康的话，我会强烈建议你试试长距离散步。1. C命题意图：考查细节理解。解析：根据第二段中的“I originally （最初） started walking around Xiamen because I didnt have a car”可知，作者最初在厦门不得不走路是因为那时候没车。2. B命题意图：考

23、查词义猜测。解析：根据画线词所在句的后半部分讲那些商店的人或许想知道作者为什么没有去散步可知，这里是说哪怕有一天没去散步，故B项正确。give up意为“放弃”。3. B命题意图：考查推理判断。解析：根据文章最后两段内容可知，作者在散步过程中结识了许多不同的朋友，由此可推知作者是想告诉我们散步在社交方面的意义。故选B项。B语篇解读 本文介绍了目前有研究人员发现，受过音乐训练的人学习语言更容易。4.

24、 tones required to speak and understand. 可知，任何学过汉语的外国人都知道掌握说汉语和理解汉语所需要的声调有多难，故选C项。5. B解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch （音调）可知，学习汉语和音乐训练用到的都是大脑相同的部位。这些部位有助于人们发现音调中的变化。故学习汉语和音乐训练有

25、关系。所以中文学习与音乐训练有关是因为学习两种技能需要用到大脑相同的部位。故选B项。6. D解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single- syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned. 可知，在普通话和其他亚洲语言中，音调起着中心作用。对一个单音节词而言，当人们对这个词发出不同的音调时，那么，这个词就表达出不同的意思。在第六段中以“

26、mi”为例，这个词不同的音调就代表着不同的意思。故画线单词表达的应是人们对一个单音节词的“发音”，故选D项。7. B解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，研究表明，经过音乐训练的人，在学汉语方面会更加容易。音乐训练和汉语学习均用到了大脑相同的部位。该部位可以帮助人们更好地发现音调的变化，有助于人们学习语言。所以短文的最佳标题是“熟练的音乐听力可能有助于语言学习”，故选B项。【高频词汇】1. draw on 凭借，利用，动用 2. tune v. 调整，调节；（为乐器）调音，校音 n. 曲调，曲子 3. syllable n. 音节 4. audio tape录音带 5. process v. 加工，

28、音和声调的意义。how 3 (pronounce)为“疑问词+不定式”结构，故本空应用不定式to pronounce。4. drills解析：考查名词复数。drill为可数名词，由as many as可知，应填drill的复数形式。5. more解析：考查比较级。由than可知，本空应填much的比较级more。6. with解析：考查介词。start with意为“以开始”，故本空应用介词with。7. what解析：考查主语从句。句意：但最重要的是，你需要的是良好的反馈。本空引导主语从句且在从句中作宾语，故应用what。5. who解析：考查非限制性定语从句。本空引导非限制性定语从句，修饰
