高考提能練(二十一) Module 3Body Language andNon­verbal Communication.閱讀理解A2019·昆明調(diào)研 A study of 500,000 songs released (發(fā)行) in the UK between 1985 and 2015 showed that pop music had decreased in happiness and increased in sadness.In a report published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood. “Happiness is going down, sadness is going up, and at the same time, the songs are becoming more danceable and more party­like，” co­author Natalia LKomarova told The Associated Press.The study found songs in 2014 like Stay With Me by Sam Smith, Whispers by Passenger and Unmissable by Gorgon City to have a “l(fā)ow happiness” trend. However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen, Would I Lie To You? by Eurythmics and Freedom by Wham! had a “high happiness” trend. “The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year，” the researchers wrote.Apart from the emotional trends, researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend, with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s. “So it looks like, while the overall mood is becoming less happy, people seem to want to forget it all and dance，” Komarova wrote in an email.It was also found that the “maleness” of songs the frequency of male singers in popular music had decreased during the last 30 years. “Successful songs are characterised by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs，” they wrote.This discovery appears at a time when the conversation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height, with more male artists and songwriters.體裁：說明文題材：音樂文化主題：流行音樂表意趨勢【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了流行音樂表達(dá)的情緒的變化趨勢。【難句分析】Apart from the emotional trends，researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend, with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s.分析：這是一個(gè)主從復(fù)合句。主語是researchers，謂語動(dòng)詞discovered后面接了兩個(gè)由and連接的并列賓語從句；Apart from the emotional trends和with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s為介詞短語作狀語。譯文：除情感上的趨勢外，研究者們發(fā)現(xiàn)，最成功的音樂風(fēng)格是舞曲和流行音樂，隨著21世紀(jì)初搖滾樂的開始流行，它們呈現(xiàn)出一種明顯下降的趨勢。1The researchers examined lots of songs to _.Afind songs for dances and partiesBchoose songs for a journalCrelease more songsDknow better about songs答案與解析：D考查推理判斷。文章第二段介紹了加州大學(xué)的研究者們調(diào)查了成千上萬的歌曲并把它們按情緒分類，緊接著得出歌曲分類的結(jié)果，可見他們調(diào)查歌曲的目的是想對歌曲有更多的了解，故選D。A、C兩項(xiàng)曲解文意；B項(xiàng)無中生有。2Whose music style tends to bring you more happiness?ANatalia LKomarova's.BSam Smith's.CGorgon City's.DBruce Springsteen's.答案與解析：D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen. had a high happiness trend”可知D項(xiàng)正確。Natalia LKomarova為報(bào)道的合著者，而非歌手；Sam Smith、Gorgon City所演唱的歌曲有讓人開心感降低的趨勢，故排除。3What do we know about songs over the past three decades?ARock became popular in the early 2000s.BFewer unhappy songs came to light every year.CMale singers were better at performing pop music.DFemale artists were less skilled in writing songs.答案與解析：A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s”可知，搖滾樂在21世紀(jì)初開始流行，故A項(xiàng)正確。其余三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容均與文意不符。4What can be a suitable title for the text?APop Music is Getting SadderBMusic Calls for Sex EqualityCPop Music Has a Long HistoryDMusic Industry Is Going Down答案與解析：A考查標(biāo)題判斷。根據(jù)文章首段總述及后續(xù)段落的描述可知，全文重點(diǎn)介紹了流行音樂正變得越來越傷感，故選A項(xiàng)。B項(xiàng)僅是文章中提到的一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)；C項(xiàng)不是文章的重點(diǎn)；D項(xiàng)擴(kuò)大外延，屬過度概括，故排除。B2019·陜西檢測二Whenever I hear a recording of John Denver singing “Sunshine on My Shoulders”， I find myself smiling, drawn to a love of the sun and the outdoors I've had for years as a Michigan native. Walking barefoot to the lake, playing without shirts in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. As a doctor I can tell you they are also good for your heart.Studies have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun exposure. One reason may be due to nitric oxide (一氧化氮), a gas whose function is activated when your skin is exposed to the sun's rays. It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks. Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to better health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily.In Japan, walking through forests to keep healthy has become a popular practice. Apparently they want to enjoy the fresh air. But research on 280 volunteers found that people had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area.One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground. The earth has an electrical current. Direct contact with it may be stabilizing force for good health. Although “earthing” or “grounding” is considered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to reduce heart disease risks.So, walk around barefoot wherever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches. 體裁：議論文題材：健康主題：戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)有益心臟【語篇解讀】本文是一篇議論文。作者通過敘述自己的經(jīng)歷、感受和一些研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，告訴人們戶外活動(dòng)有益于心臟?！倦y句分析】One reason may be due to nitric oxide (一氧化氮), a gas whose function is activated when your skin is exposed to the sun's rays. 分析：本句包含whose引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾先行詞a gas；when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句。譯文：原因之一可能是當(dāng)你的皮膚暴露在陽光下時(shí)，一氧化氮的功能被激活。 5The first paragraph is meant to _.
