　　(2017·河南省新野县三中月考)

　　New research has revealed that which song drivers listen to can influence how safe they are on the roads. Among the top ten safest songs to drive to are Come Away With Me by Norah Jones, I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith and Tiny Dancer by Elton John. Each of the songs has an optimum tempo (最佳节奏) for safe driving, imitating the human heartbeat at around 60 to 80 beats per minute. The Scientist by Coldplay and Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River also appeared in the top 10.

　　The study, conducted at London Metropolitan University, also revealed the type of songs that cause motorists to drive dangerously. Unsurprisingly, music that is noisy increases a driver's heart rate, which can be deadly. Fast beats cause excitement that can lead people to concentrate more on the music than on the road and to speed up to match the beat of the song. Styles of music were also measured during the experiment and revealed differences between male and female drivers. Hip­hop made a female driver drive far more aggressively, speeding up faster than male driver. The heavy metal music caused the fastest driving among males in the group while the dance music had the same effect among women. The male and female drivers who listened to the classical music drove the most irregularly.

　　The experiment involved eight people driving 500 miles each using the confused.com MotorMate app, which monitored driving behaviors through GPS technology.

　　1．What's the main idea of the whole passage?

　　A．Songs that drivers prefer to listen to on their way.

　　B．A study made by the confused.com MotorMate app.

　　C．What kind of songs the drivers should choose to listen to during driving.

　　D．Female drivers and male drives have different responses to the same music.

　　2．The underlined word “monitored” in the last paragraph means ________.

　　A．controlled B．banned

　　C．modeled

　　D．showed

　　3．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　A．Tiny Dancer by Elton John appeared in the top 10.

　　B．Usually human hearts beat at around 60 to 80 beats per minute.

　　C．The classical music makes most drivers drive comfortably and safely.

　　D．The passage reveals appropriate music and improper music for drivers.

　　4．If there is another paragraph in the end of the passage, the author may mention ________.

　　A．female and male drivers' popular tastes of music

　　B．how did the study carry out

　　C．why fast beat music is harmful to drivers

　　D．some music with optimum tempo for drivers to enjoy

　　答案与解析

　　一项最新研究显示，开车时收听的歌曲选择可能会影响驾驶安全程度。

　　1．C　主旨归纳题。文章第一段的第一句话是文章的中心句。一般而言，资讯、调查报告都是在文章的开头就交待文章的主题。

　　2．A　词义猜测题。根据画线词所处的语境可知：该实验是由8名分别行驶500英里的司机实施的，因为是做实验，所以运用 GPS 技术是为了掌控司机的驾驶行为。

　　3．C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句话“The male and female drivers who listened to the classical music drove the most irregularly.”可知，听古典音乐时，男女驾驶者的驾车状态最不稳定。

　　4．D　推理判断题。文章最后一段涉及到的就是B项；第二段中涉及到了C，因此B、C不会再次被提及。文章第二段中也谈到了男女司机对不同音乐的反应，再次谈他们对不同音乐的品味不同。文章第一段涉及到了10首对司机来讲适宜选择的部分音乐，因此文章会在最后一段给出第一段没列出的10首音乐的剩余部分。

Bad still, it is common to find silly things written by some tourists in scenic spots.
