2017届高考英语一轮基础知识复习：Unit 5 Music（新人教版必修2）

　　Unit 5 Music

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　(2015·河南省八市重点高中教学质监测)

　　School is much more than a place where students gather to learn. For children, school is their first opportunity for social development and introduction to people outside of their family unit. Lessons learned in school go beyond mathematics and language arts. Students learn to develop individual interests and find

　　other people who share their interests.

　　Music is one of the ways like­minded children come together. When many people talk about the benefits of music education, they're quick to point out all of the numerous and measurable results of music education: many studies show the positive impact music programs can have on children in other areas of study.

　　Dr. Laurel Trainor, a professor of psychology, at McMaster University, has said young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory compared to children who do not receive musical training. Stanford University researchers have found that musical training improves how the brain processes the spoken word, a finding that researchers say could lead to improving the reading ability of children who have dyslexia and other reading problems.

　　Furthermore, in an analysis of data on more than 25,000 secondary school students, researchers at the United States Department of Education found that students who report consistent involvement in instrumental music during middle school and high school perform significantly better in mathematics.

　　There are many reasons why music education can help to make a child a better student, but there also being involved in music is also a social endeavor that can set the course for lifelong friends and help create social groups that last through school and beyond. Music education breeds familiarity during a school career, when going from class to class or from school to school every year can be nerve wracking and unfamiliar.

　　文章大意：搬进新居的母子俩深夜弹奏钢琴以庆祝乔迁之喜，不料引起邻居的不满。儿子达里奥想到一个主意：何不邀请邻居来家做客，盛情接待？此举果然奏效，邻居纷纷携礼物前来，甚至有人赠送他们一本肖邦的音乐书。一场邻里矛盾因为彼此的尊重和包容而轻松化解。

　　1．A.sat B.stood
