還原短文(四)睡眠的重要性+音樂(lè)與語(yǔ)言的關(guān)系 A2019·赤峰改編People spend almost a third of their lives doing one thingsleeping. Every year, there is a special day for people around the world to celebrate the importance of good and healthy sleepWorld Sleep Day.Sleep is like food for the brain. 1.  People of different ages need different amounts(數(shù)量) of sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation(國(guó)家睡眠基金會(huì)) in the US, adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep a night. 2. And school-aged children may need more than ten hours of sleep. 3. The China Youth and Children Research Center said that about 80 percent of middle school students don't get enough sleep. It has influenced students' school life. 4. They can't pay attention in class or do well in sports. To solve this problem, scientists advise that students should get less schoolwork and more time to sleep. 5. Good sleep habits help a lot. For example, try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays. A.Teenagers need nine to ten hours.B.If you sleep less, you'll get fatter and fatter.C.Enough sleep helps the brain and body.D.Taking a 20-minute sleep at noon is also useful.E.Students without enough sleep may get poor grades.F.However, many students don't get enough sleep because of too much homework.G.Most of them have less sleep because of too much homework. BIs there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes. 1. Here, we look at two examples. A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. 2. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. 3.Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦樂(lè)團(tuán)). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise. Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中風(fēng)) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. 4. Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again. Music improves concentration, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. 5. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp(敏銳的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, but it's also good for us in many other ways. A.Music helps people solve some hearing problems.B.In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.C.It can even help sick people get better.D.Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.E.The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin.F.Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.G.Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.【參考答案】A主旨大意本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章講述了睡眠的重要性,提出了80%的中學(xué)生缺少睡眠,科學(xué)家建議學(xué)生應(yīng)該少做作業(yè),保證充足的睡眠。1.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第二段中的“Sleep is like food for the brain.”可知本段講了睡眠對(duì)大腦的好處,可知“Enough sleep helps the brain and body.”符合語(yǔ)境。故選C。2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)空前的句子可知成年人一晚上需要7到8小時(shí)睡眠,后面提到了上學(xué)的孩子需要10小時(shí)以上,可知此處填青少年需要9到10小時(shí)睡眠。故選A。3.F推理判斷題。根據(jù)本空下一句可知80%的中學(xué)生缺少睡眠。所以,本空應(yīng)該為因?yàn)橛刑嗟淖鳂I(yè)許多學(xué)生沒(méi)有足夠的睡眠。故選F。4.E推理判斷題。根據(jù)本空前的句子“It has influenced students' school life.”可知睡眠影響學(xué)生的學(xué)校生活。根據(jù)下句“They can't pay attention in class or do well in sports.”可知沒(méi)足夠的睡眠學(xué)生會(huì)取得很差的成績(jī)。故選E。5.D推理判斷題。本空前句提到了科學(xué)家建議學(xué)生應(yīng)該做更少的作業(yè),更多時(shí)間的睡眠,所以,中午20分鐘的睡眠也是起作用的。故選D。B15FBDGC
