They found that people who exercised while listening to The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music.Facts suggest that exercise improve the learning ability of people with heart problems, said the scientist Charles Emery, who led the study. And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together. he added.The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have shown it is true that music can be good for health. It helps cut down stress, sadness and nervousness. And it also wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had headaches before and after operation. The Four Seasons was used because of its soft tempo(节拍) and better results in earlier research.Exercise seems to cause better changes in the nervous system and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability. Emery said. Scientists have been studying the result of music on understanding since the early 1950s. By 1990, scientists were using Mozarts music to help children with speech disorders. Mozart was chosen because his music is not overexciting. A study showed students who listened to Mozart scored higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams coming, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.（1）The underlined word enhance in the third paragraph probably means _. A . explainB . improveC . provideD . produce（2）Which of the following statements is true according to the article? A . Exercise seems to cause worse changes without music.B . Scientists often use Mozarts music for it is not too exciting.C . The Four Seasons is often used to help children with speech disorders.D . The purpose of the test was to make clear if music is helpful to learning ability.（3）We can infer(推断) from the last paragraph that _. A . we are supposed to follow our parents wordsB . students should not listen to music before examsC . we have some good reasons to exercise to musicD . music can probably help us to get higher grades in tests（4）The article mainly talks about that _. A . music and exercise lead to relaxation or sleepB . thirty-three volunteers work on music in medical fieldC . exercising to music makes people healthy and cleverD . scientists give suggestions on choosing music while exercising15. （10分） One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn（谷仓）, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing（挤）out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite（咬）the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.One serious American official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard. “The others thought for a while and said: That was why!”A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.A Japanese said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.At that moment, one Chinese asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship？ “Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.（1）Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because _.A . one was biting the otherB . the mouth of the hole was too smallC . they were not afraid of smokeD . one was trying to help the blind one（2）it made sense probably means _.A . it was correctB . it was strangeC . it was funnyD . it was sweet（3）Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage？A . They did not dare to answerB . They had mistaken the relationship of the mice.C . They regretted（后悔）driving a poor blind mouse away.D . They did not express themselves much better.（4）It is clear that _.A . all the mice came out of the hole easilyB . each of the people understood the relationship differentlyC . the people wanted to kill the mice with smokeD . the people knew one of the mice was blind at the first sight（5）The best title for the passage is _.A .
