Unit 5 Music.阅读理解(建议用时15)AIt may seem to be a hard task to trace back the history of rap music, though you often see the informal music associated with highly informal dance style. As far as the origin of rap music is concerned， most people agree that it is from AfroAmerican and Latino Street culture of New York City. Not only in this city but also in the surrounding areas there is the influence of African people and their culture.Rap is a vocal (口头的) style in which the performer speaks rhythmically and in thyme, generally to a beat. The term of rap music is the same with hiphop music typicallyconsisting of a rhythmic vocal style called rap. If we see it carefully, then we will definitely notice that the music usually is sung at higher pitches (调). Most of the time rap music is associated with chorus. Though rap music was primarily an American music style with African influence over its music and lyrics, recently it has been spread to almost the entire world.There is hardly any country or nation where rap music cannot be seen in some form or another, and it is one of the most popular music styles among the youngsters. However, when it comes to its history, it is believed that hiphop or rap music started in the early 1970s, and gained much popularity throughout the world during the late 1970s and early 1980s.The history of rap music and hiphop music is full of controversies (争议) and bans, as the lyrics sometimes relate to drugs and crime; even most famous pop stars and hiphop musicians and singers were found to be associated with the controversies in their life. For that reason, no matter how popular this music style was or still is, it has always had a bad reputation in the eyes of mainstream society.篇章导读：本文介绍了说唱音乐的发展过程及其现在的影响力。1The passage is mainly about _.Awhen rap music startedBhow rap music developsCwhat rap music is likeDwhy rap music is popular答案：B主旨大意题。从第一句“It may seem to be a hard task to trace back the history of rap music, though you often see the informal music associated with highly informal dance style.”及文章内容可知，本段文字主要介绍了说唱音乐的发展历史。2The characteristics of rap music are _.Asolo, rhymes, beats and popsB speaking, rhythms, beats and soloCrepeating, speaking, pops and chorusD speaking, thymes, beats and chorus答案：D细节理解题。从第二段内容可知，说唱音乐主要特点是反复、押韵、有节奏、合唱。3Rap music is now one of the music styles mostly run after by_.Athe teenagers in AfricaBall kinds of people in the worldCthe youngsters all over the worldDthe young people in the US答案：C细节理解题。从第三段中的“it is one of the most popular music styles among the youngsters”可知，答案为C，即全世界的青年人都喜欢这种音乐形式。4Rap music is often not well thought of by the mainstream because_.Ait comes from the lower classB it has a short historyCit is associated with crimes and drugsD its music is full of controversies答案：C细节理解题。从最后一段第一句中的“as the lyrics sometimes relate to drugs and crime”可知，说唱音乐的歌词有时和毒品和犯罪有关，故不被主流社会所认同。1trace vt. 追溯；查到；发现 2.beat n. 节奏；节拍3primarily adv. 主要地；根本地4mainstream adj. 主流的；主要的 n. 主流1be associated with 与有关2as far as. concerned 就而言B2017山东省德州市联考Have you ever heard that we humans use only ten percent of our brains? This opinion holds a certain appeal because if it were true, then we could instantly become ten times more intelligent just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain!The idea that we use only a small part of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the 19th century. When scientists stimulated (刺激) a specific part of the brain, the animal moved its leg or tail. If a tiny part of the brain could do something so great, what was the use of the rest of the brain? Some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless.Then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain parts of the brain had no physical effects. They named these seemingly useless parts of the brain the “silent cortex”. Today we know that in humans, much of the “silent cortex” is actually devoted to complex activities like language, learning, and imagining.Brain scans have shown that different parts of the brain become much more active as we shift (切换) our attention and focus, but even as we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremely active. Would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum capacity (能力)? Interestingly enough, the opposite is probably true. The less brain activity you need to perform a given task, the more the brain as a whole is able to do.篇章导读：本文属于科普说明文，科学研究发现人脑中有百分之九十没有被使用。如果我们把这部分的作用开发出来，我们会更加聪明。5Why does the opinion mentioned in Paragraph 1 seem appealing?APeople wish to become much smarter.BPeople believe it is scientific.CPeople know nothing about the brain.DPeople want to make little use of their brain.答案：A推理判断题。根据第一段中的“.if it were true, then we could instantly become ten times more intelligent just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain！”可知，如果这是真的，那么仅仅通过激活沉睡的大部分大脑，我们就会(比以前)聪明十倍。故选A。6What did scientists discover in their experiment in the 20th century?AThe majority of the brain is sleeping.BAnimals legs and tails have some connection with their brain.CStimulation on some parts of the brain causes no physical reaction.DCertain parts of the brain are devoted to language and learning activities.答案：C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，在20世纪初，科学家们观察到刺激大脑中的某些区域并没有身体反应。所以答案为C。7“Silent cortex” has proved to be _.Asensitive to stimulationBuseful in complex activitiesCresponsible for physical reactionDmore active than the other parts of the brain答案：B细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“Today we know that in humans, much of the silent cortex is actually devoted to complex activities”可知，答案为B。8If you need less brain activity to perform a task, _.Ayou will feel sleepyByou must shift your focusCyou can use your brain to the fullestDyou will be more productive答案：D推理判断题。根据第四段中最后一句“The less brain activity you need to perform a given task, the more the brain as a whole is able to do.”可知，我们完成一项任务所需要的大脑活动越少，整个大脑能做的事情也就越多。故选D。1appeal n/v. 呼吁；吸引力；有吸引力2specific adj. 具体的；特定的3assume vt. 假定；认为4extremely adv. 极度地5opposite n/adj./adv./prep. 相反；对面的；在对面地；在对面1date back (to) 追溯到2be devoted to 忠于；致力于.七选五(建议用时8)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。2017海淀区模拟Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?Our society is fast paced.

It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. _1_Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak louder than words”？ Think about it now.
