16、 at their favorite restaurants. Recent studies have shown that the loudness of music can have an observable effect on our food choices. Certain tunes(曲调)and melodies can even influence our perception(感知)of the food when we are eating it.One study was led by Dipayan Biswas of the University of South
17、Floridas Muma College of Business. In his research, Biswas played the same music for diners in a cafe, but at volumes of 50 decibels(分贝)on some days and 70 decibels on others. On the days when music was played at 70 decibels, diners often ordered less healthy, higher-calorie foods. In comparison, th
18、e diners who listened to tunes at lower decibels made healthier choices. The results, Biswas thought, were due to human general need to look for comfort when they were stressed out. To further prove his ideas, a similar study was repeated, this time in grocery stores. The results were the same as th
19、e first. The louder the music, the more cookies, chips, and sugary drinks shoppers bought.Another study that examined this phenomenon was conducted by researchers at the University of Oxford. The team looked at whether loud, fast music might increase the perceived spiciness(辛辣)of dishes. Not surpris
20、ingly, participants who listened to music containing fast drumbeats and the sounds of high decibels reported that food was spicier and had stronger flavors up to 10%. The researchers called the strange phenomenon sonic seasoning. Its no wonder that such music is often played by restaurants that will
21、 be serving up spicy foods for their diners.4. Whats the purpose of Dipayan Biswas study?A. To tell high decibels from low decibels.B. To explore effects of music on food choices.C. To find tunes and melodies diners like most.D. To observe the effect of unhealthy food and drinks.5. What made people
22、choose unhealthier foods according to Biswas?A. The report about unhealthier foods.B. Their habits of more various orders.C. The love for sounds with high decibels.D. Their desire for comfort under pressure.6. Why is loud and fast music played in restaurants when spicy foods are served?A. To reduce
23、the flavor of the food.B. To add fast drumbeats and sounds.C. To change diners feelings about food.D. To test a phenomenon sonic seasoning.【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C【解析】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员研究发现音乐的音量对我们的食物选择有明显的影响。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In his research, Biswas played the same music for diners in a cafe, but at volumes
24、 of 50 decibels(分贝)on some days and 70 decibels on others. On the days when music was played at 70 decibels, diners often ordered less healthy, higher-calorie foods. In comparison, the diners who listened to tunes at lower decibels made healthier choices.(在他的研究中,比斯瓦斯在咖啡馆里为用餐者播放同样的音乐,但音量在一些日子里为50分贝,在
25、另一些日子里为70分贝。在播放70分贝音乐的日子里,用餐者通常会点一些不太健康、热量较高的食物。相比之下,听低分贝音乐的用餐者做出了更健康的选择。)”可推断,Dipayan Biswas的研究的目的是探索音乐音量对食物选择的影响。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The results, Biswas thought, were due to human general need to look for comfort when they were stressed out. (Biswas认为,这是因为人类在感到压力时普遍需要寻求安慰。)”可知,Biswas认为人们选择不健康的
26、食物是因为他们在压力下对舒适的渴望。故选D。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Not surprisingly, participants who listened to music containing fast drumbeats and the sounds of high decibels reported that food was spicier and had stronger flavors up to 10%.(不出所料,听有快速鼓点和高分贝音乐的参与者报告食物更辣,味道更浓的比例高达10%。)”可知,餐馆里提供辣的食物时播放着大声而快速的音乐是为了改变用餐者对食物的
27、感觉。故选C。CMy family just got back from a wonderful vacation. It was 10 days of good food, great sun and beautiful beaches. One day nearly ruined our trip, though.

36、,谈论了在人际关系中“不同意也遵从”的重要性。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“The sand wasnt nearly as soft as I like. And the surf was much rougher, which certainly didnt please my kids.”沙子远没有我喜欢的那么软。而且浪很大,这当然让我的孩子们不高兴。第三段中“As I kept comparing this beach to other ones, my mood deteriorated. I was about to get into another big argument
37、 with my wife when I remembered three little words: Disagree and commit.”(当我把这个海滩和其他海滩作比较时,我的情绪deteriorated了。我正要和妻子大吵一架,突然想起了三个字:“不同意也遵从”。)可知,当作者把这个海滩和其他海滩做比较时,准备和妻子大吵一架,据此推断,是到海滩旅行差点儿毁了作者的家庭度假。故选A项。【8题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词句下文“I was about to get into another big argument with my wife”(我正要和妻子大吵一架),说明作者情绪极差,
38、从而推断出划线词句 “As I kept comparing this beach to other ones, my mood deteriorated.”(当我把这个海滩和其他海滩作比较时,我的情绪deteriorated了。”中划线词汇deteriorated应该是“变得极差”的意思,选项C“变得很糟”与之最为接近,故选C项。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“And complaining would have just made everyone else unhappy, too. So, I did the opposite. I looked for all the grea
39、t things about the beach and voiced them out loud.”(抱怨只会让其他人也不开心。所以,我做了相反的事情。我寻找着海滩上所有美好的事物,然后大声说出来。)可知,作者通过指出沙滩的美好事物把那三个字变成行动。故选C项。10题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In all our relationships, were looking for support. Of course, good friends should be able to have healthy disagreements. But when it comes to maki
40、ng decisions, there are times when all the discussion in the world wont change another persons mind. When that happens, ask yourself: Can I disagree and commit? If you can, youll show your partner youre willing to go all in and theyll do the same for you.”(在我们所有的人际关系中,我们都在寻求支持。当然,好朋友之间应该有健康的分歧。但是当涉及
41、到做决定的时候,有时候世界上所有的讨论都不会改变另一个人的想法。当这种情况发生时,问问你自己:我能否做到不同意也遵从?如果可以的话,你会向你的伴侣表明你愿意全力以赴,他们也会为你做同样的事情。)可知,作者建议在人际关系中,尽管不同意,也要支持他人。故选D项。My family just got back from a wonderful vacation.

50、滩度假的故事,告诉我们“如何处理人际关系中不一致的问题”。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“But my wife had her heart set on the beach, and because we have three small children, I came along to help out.(但我妻子一心想去海滩,因为我们有三个小孩,我就过来帮忙)”推知,尽管作者得了重感冒,还是去了海滩,因为他要陪妻子去海滩,并要照顾三个小孩。故答案为Because he had to accompany his wife to the beach and take care of
51、 their three young children.【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中“When that happens, ask yourself: Can I disagree and commit? If you can, youll show your partner youre willing to go all in and theyll do the same for you.(当这种情况发生的时候,问问你自己:我能不能不同意或者做出承诺?如果可以,你会向你的伴侣表明你愿意全力以赴,他们也会为你做同样的事)”可知,作者处理人际关系中不一致的原则是:他先问问自己能不能不同
52、意或者做出承诺,如果能,他会向他的伴侣表明他愿意全力以赴。故答案为He asks himself if he can disapprove or make a commitment, and if so, he shows his partner that he is willing to go all out.【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中“If you can, youll show your partner youre willing to go all in and theyll do the same for you.(如果可以,你会向你的伴侣表明你愿意全力以赴,他们也会为你
