语 篇 提 能.阅读理解Research suggested classical music fans were shy, while heavy metal fans were gentle and at ease with themselves.The research, which was carried out by Professor Adrian North of HeriotWatt University，is said to be the largest such study ever done.Professor North described the research as significant and surprising. He said, “We have always suspected a link between musical taste and personality. This is the first time that weve been able to look at it in real detail. No one has ever done this on this scale(规模) before.”Professor North said the research could have many uses in marketing, adding, “If you know a persons music preference you can tell what kind of person he/she is. There are obvious implications(暗指) for the music industry who are worried about decreasing CD sales.” One of the most surprising things is the similarities between fans of classical music and heavy metal. Theyre both creative and at ease but not outgoing. The general public has held a stereotype of heavy metal fans being depressed and of being a danger to themselves and society in general. But they are quite delicate things.More than 36,000 people from all over the world were asked to rate 104 musical styles and also questioned about aspects of their personality. Professor North，who is the head of the universitys department of applied psychology, is still looking for people to fill in a short online questionnaire.1What can be the best title for the text?AMusical Taste is Linked to PersonalityBPeoples Attitudes to Different Kinds of MusicCHow Music Influences Peoples MoodDWhat Kind of Music People Like Best2Fans of classical music and heavy metal are similar in that _.Athey are both shy Bthey are both dangerousCthey are both outgoing Dthey are both creative3Professor Norths research is significant because _.Ait can help people choose better musicBit can help composers write better musicCit can help people better understand music fansDit can help the music industry increase its sales4We can infer from the text that _.AProfessor North wants to increase the scale of the studyBthere were more young people taking part in the researchCpeople have a preference for different kinds of musicDmany singers know the personalities of their fans well答案与解析：研究发现，对音乐的偏好能够反映一个人的性格特点。1解析：综合全文可知，本文主要说明音乐爱好与个人性格特点之间存在一定的联系。答案：A2解析：从倒数第二段中的Theyre both creative and at ease but not outgoing可知，古典音乐爱好者和重金属摇滚乐爱好者共同的特点是都富有创造性，而且都无拘无束，但是不外向。答案：D3解析：从倒数第二段中的There are obvious implications for the music industry who are worried about decreasing CD sales可知，这项研究可以帮助音乐行业更好地了解人们的音乐偏好，促进唱片销售。答案：D4解析：从最后一段中的is still looking for people to fill in a short online questionnaire可知，Professor North想扩大这项研究的规模。答案：A.短文改错Music is most important part of our lives.
