B．given; disappointed; bored
C．giving; disappointing; boring
D．given; disappointing; bored
答案：D 句意：那位老教授的报告似乎很令人失望而且没完没了，他如此厌烦以至于都快睡着了。given by that old professor是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰speech。句中是说报告让人失望，所以用disappointing。后一句描述的是他的感受，因此用bored。

(2011·河南平许驻洛四市重点高中高三联考)
Many studies have been conducted to discover the benefits of listening to and playing music. The growing field of “music treatment” is presenting increasing amounts of proof that point to the great powers of music.
Emotional (情绪)benefits
The right song can put anybody in a better mood. Most people turn to certain songs to improve their moods. The main reason behind this is that music can express our feelings better than any other medium. In addition, we have favourite songs for particular situations because we turn to the music which has the best effect on us.
Music and exercise
Have you ever noticed how out of breath you get when listening to an exciting song while doing exercises at the gym? It has been suggested that exciting music can actually increase muscle tension (肌肉紧张), while light music does the opposite.
It has also been proved that music can improve motor skills. An experiment conducted on a group of pupils proved that children learning basic motor skills such as throwing, catching and jumping while listening to music did better than those with no music.
Relief (减轻) of chronic (慢性的) pain
Music also has the ability to ease chronic pain. In fact according to a paper published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, music can reduce chronic pain by 21%. The paper reports that 60 patients in an experiment were divided into two groups—one of the group listened to music, and the other did not. The results showed that people who listened to music for an hour each day for a week improved physically and psychologically while those who did not listen to music did not.
音乐带给大家的不仅仅是听觉的享受，还有许许多多的益处。
1．The best title of the passage is ________.
A．The Study of Music
B．The Benefits of Music
C．How Music Helps Patients
D．Music Helps to Improve Work Efficiency
答案：B 标题归纳题。文章开门见山地指出很多研究表明音乐有很多益处，再结合下文三个小标题的内容可判断本文阐述的是音乐的益处。
2．Why do people turn to songs to feel better?
A．Because songs have magic.
B．Because listening to music is their hobby.
C．Because they can find comfort in songs.
D．Because some music has a good effect on them.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句后半部分中的内容可判断D项正确。
3．If we want to relax our muscles, we should choose ______.
A．rock and roll
B．some exciting songs
C．light music
D．classical songs
答案：C 推理判断题。第三段的后半部分提到强劲的音乐能增加肌肉的紧张程度，而轻音乐则相反。由此可推断，假如想让肌肉放松，应该选择“轻音乐”。
4．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．music can cure muscle pain slowly
B．21% of the patients recovered quickly with the help of music
C．all the patients listened to music daily
D．the 60 patients all have physical and psychological problems
答案：D 推理判断题。既然听音乐的试验者的身体和精神状况得到了改善，由此可推断另外一组人的身体和精神也存在问题。
