高考提能练(二十一) Module 3Body Language andNonverbal Communication.阅读理解A2019昆明调研 A study of 500,000 songs released (发行) in the UK between 1985 and 2015 showed that pop music had decreased in happiness and increased in sadness.In a report published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood. “Happiness is going down, sadness is going up, and at the same time, the songs are becoming more danceable and more partylike，” coauthor Natalia LKomarova told The Associated Press.The study found songs in 2014 like Stay With Me by Sam Smith, Whispers by Passenger and Unmissable by Gorgon City to have a “low happiness” trend. However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen, Would I Lie To You? by Eurythmics and Freedom by Wham! had a “high happiness” trend. “The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year，” the researchers wrote.Apart from the emotional trends, researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend, with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s. “So it looks like, while the overall mood is becoming less happy, people seem to want to forget it all and dance，” Komarova wrote in an email.It was also found that the “maleness” of songs the frequency of male singers in popular music had decreased during the last 30 years. “Successful songs are characterised by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs，” they wrote.This discovery appears at a time when the conversation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height, with more male artists and songwriters.体裁：说明文题材：音乐文化主题：流行音乐表意趋势【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了流行音乐表达的情绪的变化趋势。【难句分析】Apart from the emotional trends，researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend, with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s.分析：这是一个主从复合句。主语是researchers，谓语动词discovered后面接了两个由and连接的并列宾语从句；Apart from the emotional trends和with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s为介词短语作状语。译文：除情感上的趋势外，研究者们发现，最成功的音乐风格是舞曲和流行音乐，随着21世纪初摇滚乐的开始流行，它们呈现出一种明显下降的趋势。1The researchers examined lots of songs to _.Afind songs for dances and partiesBchoose songs for a journalCrelease more songsDknow better about songs答案与解析：D考查推理判断。文章第二段介绍了加州大学的研究者们调查了成千上万的歌曲并把它们按情绪分类，紧接着得出歌曲分类的结果，可见他们调查歌曲的目的是想对歌曲有更多的了解，故选D。A、C两项曲解文意；B项无中生有。2Whose music style tends to bring you more happiness?ANatalia LKomarovas.BSam Smiths.CGorgon Citys.DBruce Springsteens.答案与解析：D考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen. had a high happiness trend”可知D项正确。Natalia LKomarova为报道的合著者，而非歌手；Sam Smith、Gorgon City所演唱的歌曲有让人开心感降低的趋势，故排除。3What do we know about songs over the past three decades?ARock became popular in the early 2000s.BFewer unhappy songs came to light every year.CMale singers were better at performing pop music.DFemale artists were less skilled in writing songs.答案与解析：A考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s”可知，摇滚乐在21世纪初开始流行，故A项正确。其余三个选项的内容均与文意不符。4What can be a suitable title for the text?APop Music is Getting SadderBMusic Calls for Sex EqualityCPop Music Has a Long HistoryDMusic Industry Is Going Down答案与解析：A考查标题判断。根据文章首段总述及后续段落的描述可知，全文重点介绍了流行音乐正变得越来越伤感，故选A项。B项仅是文章中提到的一个细节；C项不是文章的重点；D项扩大外延，属过度概括，故排除。B2019陕西检测二Whenever I hear a recording of John Denver singing “Sunshine on My Shoulders”， I find myself smiling, drawn to a love of the sun and the outdoors Ive had for years as a Michigan native. Walking barefoot to the lake, playing without shirts in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. As a doctor I can tell you they are also good for your heart.Studies have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun exposure. One reason may be due to nitric oxide (一氧化氮), a gas whose function is activated when your skin is exposed to the suns rays. It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks. Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to better health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily.In Japan, walking through forests to keep healthy has become a popular practice. Apparently they want to enjoy the fresh air. But research on 280 volunteers found that people had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area.One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground. The earth has an electrical current. Direct contact with it may be stabilizing force for good health. Although “earthing” or “grounding” is considered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to reduce heart disease risks.So, walk around barefoot wherever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches. 体裁：议论文题材：健康主题：户外运动有益心脏【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过叙述自己的经历、感受和一些研究发现，告诉人们户外活动有益于心脏。【难句分析】One reason may be due to nitric oxide (一氧化氮), a gas whose function is activated when your skin is exposed to the suns rays. 分析：本句包含whose引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a gas；when引导时间状语从句。译文：原因之一可能是当你的皮肤暴露在阳光下时，一氧化氮的功能被激活。 5The first paragraph is meant to _.
