(2017·皖南八校第一次联考)Recent research shows young children who take music lessons have better memories than their nonmusical peers.
The research,
published in the online edition of the journal Brain, showed that after one year of musical training, children did better in a memory test than those who did not take music classes.
“The research tells us that if you take music lessons your brain is getting wired up differently，” Laurel Trainor, professor of psychology at McMaster University, said.
“This is the first study to show that brain responses in young,
musically
trained
and
untrained
children
change differently over the course of a year，” said Trainor.
Over a year they took four measurements in two groups of children aged between four and six — those taking music lessons and those taking no musical training outside school — and found developmental changes over periods as short as four months.
The children completed a music test in which they were asked
to
discriminate
between
harmonies,
rhythms
and melodies (旋律), and a memory test in which they had to listen to a series of numbers, remember them and repeat them back.
Trainor said while previous studies have shown that older children given drama (戏剧) and painting lessons had greater improvements in IQ scores than children who didn't; children given music lessons did better than those given drama.This is the
first
study
to
identify
these
effects
in
brainbased measurements in young children.
She said it was not that surprising that children studying music improved in musical listening skills more than children not studying music.
“On the other hand, it is very interesting that the children taking music lessons improved more on general memory skills that are correlated with nonmusical abilities such as literacy, verbal memory, visiospatial processing, mathematics and IQ，” she said.
1．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The study is the first one to show what influences children's IQ.
B．The researcher studied four groups of children aged between four and six.
C．The study lasted for less than a year.
D．The study shows that taking music lessons can improve more skills.
2．What does the underlined word “discriminate” in Para.6 most probably mean?
A．Say something again.
B．Say something from memory.
C．Find out the difference.
D．Find out something in common.
3．According to the previous studies, which group of children improved greater in IQ scores?
A．Children who studied music.
B．Children who studied drama.
C．Children who didn't study music.
D．Children who studied painting.
4．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Music can develop kids' interest
B．Taking music lessons improves more skills
C．Music should be taught at school
D．Learning music improves kids' memory
