researchers have long noticed that musicians also tend to be better at learning languages and show other improved reading and math abilities. now a new study from the university of washington by christina zhao shows that rhythm is an important bridge between music and speech as early as nine months of age.researchers randomly placed babies into two groups of 20 each, and each group played at the lab with their parents for a dozen 15-minute sessions over a month.in one group, researchers played recordings of songs with a waltz rhythm and showed the parents how to help their babies tap out that 1-2-3 beat in time with the music on boy drums or with their feet. in the other group, children played with typical toys and no music.the babies in the music group were better able to detect random mistakes in that rhythm when they heard it within two weeks of the last session. they also showed a stronger brain response to disruptions in the rhythm. for example, researchers would sometimes alter the timing of syllables(音节) by slightly shortening the middle sound of a word like bibbi to make it bibiand the babies with music training were more likely to notice it.in other words, music training not only improved the babies ability to notice when a musical rhythm skipped a beat, but also improved their ability to notice when the rhythms of speech changed unexpectedly, an important skill for learning to talk.the study reflects zhaos personal experiences as a pianist who music in college, and as someone who speaks both mandarin and english. she noticed that a lot of her fellow musicians were also good at learning other languages. “that really got me wondering how these two are related, “zhao said.34.what can we learn about the new study?a.it included twenty babies.b.the babies were grouped by age.c.it was carried out in form of lab tests.d.the two groups were offered different types of music.35.according to the last paragraph, christina zhao _.a.will

text?a.music learners advantages over language learnersb.an important bridge between music and babiesc.researchers prove musics influence on babiesd.music skills may help babies learn languages35.细节理解题。根据最后一段“and as someone who speaks both mandarin and english. she noticed that a lot of her fellow musicians were also good at learning other languages（当有人既会说普通话又会说英语的时候，她注意到她的很多音乐同事也擅长学习其他语言）”可知，她擅长于发现隐藏的联系，故选b。36.主旨大意题。本文首先开头告诉我们：音乐技能好的人也擅长于语言学习，接着用一项研究论证了这一观点，最后用christina zhao发现音乐和语言之间隐藏关系的个人经历证明：音乐有利于语言学习，故选d。c【湖北省沙市中学2017届高考冲刺第九次考试】bit
