9、t it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.The idea that listening to music when working is
10、 beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all. How sound affects performance has been the topic of r
11、esearch for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to 3complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw th
12、em. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical var
13、iation(声学变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same timeone from the task and one from the sou
14、nd. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music.
15、In this situation, the two sources of wordsfrom the task and the soundare in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on th
16、e type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels. 1. “Mozart effect” is mentioned to _.A. explain how music can relax people B. show music can improve performanceC. advise people to listen to Mozart music D. stress Mozart music gains wide

Does music make you concentrate?3、 From Nikes “swoosh” symbol to Starbucks- twin-tailed mermaid (美人鱼), the worlds l
19、argest companies take great care of their logos. For most people the logos of such firms immediately conned our minds to the business in question, without the need to see its name.Think of the golden arches of a popular fast-food chain, or the apple with a bite taken out of it representing a certain
20、 computer company. This type of instant recognition is the holy grail(圣杯) for a business, which is why the worlds multinational companies can spend millions on their logos like UK oil group BP, which back in 2000 spent 136 million introducing its current sunflower design. Other firms of a similar si
21、ze, whose logo is simply their name written out in a stylized way, can spend hundreds of thousands on a new font (字体),or a different color. But how easy is it for a business to pick a good logo, and how important is it at the end of the day?If you are presented with a design for your company logo th

35、。2.细节理解题。根据 Group Ticket Sales Information标题下的 “Save some money with group ticket sales available through July 31,2019. 2699 tickets are $18 each; 100+ tickets are $15 each. ” 可知,游客购买团体票的标准是:26 至 99人的团体每张票价为 18美元,100 人以上的团体每张票价为 15美元。故选 B项。3.推理判断题。根据文章首段中的“Youll be re-directed to our Irish Fest Tick
36、eting Store, which will feature all of 2019s ticketing options.“可知,本文作者主要向人们介绍艺术节的售票方式、价格及下文提到的相关优惠条件。故选 C项。 2.1.B; 2.B; 3.A; 4.D解析： 1B词句猜测题根据文章第二段 The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the socalled “Mozart effect“可知工作时听音乐有利于输出的观点，可能源于所谓的“莫扎特
37、效应“由此可见，提到“莫扎特效应“，表示音乐可以提高演奏水平故选 B2B推理判断题根据文章第四段 Where the sound does not vary much acoustically， the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions可知如果声音在声学上变化不大，则任务的执行更接近于在安静条件下观察到的情况由此可见，可以推断，研究参与者在安静的环境中表现更好故选 B3A推理判断题根据文章第六段 A similar conflict is also seen when read
38、ing while in the presence of lyrical music In this situation， the two sources of 13wordsfrom the task and the soundare in conflict The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics可知在有抒情音乐的情况下阅读也会出现类似的冲突在这种情况下，任务和声音中的两个词源是冲突的成本是在有歌词的音乐的情况下，任务的表现较差由此可见，此段内容是为了证明上面观点，故选 A

41、以用排除法,A 选项说因为问了很多细节问题所以这个调查方法是不科学的,这个显然是错误的,第二段说,他们只问了一个问题,并没有说这个方法是否科学; C 项说因为自拍,所以自残青少年的数量令人担忧,这两者是在强行建立逻辑关系;D 项自残青少年的形象越来越具体,这里是文章中没有提到的。2.选 D,根据 Davie定位到第三段倒数第三行,阅读整句话可知 Davie认为青少年自残确实在增长但是那个调查的结果不能完全反映如今自残的普遍性。3.选 C,根据题干定位到第六段,阅读可知,从 1995到 2016,青少年的幸福感整体并没有太大变化,所以说把自残这一现象的增长归因到自拍是很奇怪的,故选 C。144.
42、选 C,最后两段大意为 Davie认为如今自残增长的原因是曾经人们不知道自残可以作为表示极端情绪的一个途径,而如今人们知道了,所以才造成现在这样的状况,我们应该避免把这些现象合理化。5.E; C; G; D; B【1 题详解】推理判断题。根据下文 Whatever the reason，apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation可知，不管是什么原因，道歉可以帮助你痊愈并从这种情况中继续前进。而实际情况是我们并没有通过道歉来表示出支持。故选 E。【2 题详解】推理判断题。根据下文 First，you ackn
