The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3 or memorable 4，tune 5.Dr.Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages.On the University of Edinburghs website Dr.Ludke writes，“This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listenandrepeat singing method can support foreign language，learning，and opens the door for future research in this area.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普说明文。主要讲述了一项有关音乐和外语学习之间存在关系的研究。1The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to Arecall the pastBattract the readersCintroduce the topicDcompare the childhood with the presentC推理判断题。该题提问的是第一段提及“song”的意图是什么。本文开头通过“song”举例导入话题，从而引出下文对于音乐和外语学习之间关系的研究。故C项正确。2According to the passage which language doesnt share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?AHungarian.BSpanish.CItalian.DEnglish.A细节理解题。该题提问的是哪种语言与日耳曼语和罗曼语没有相同的词根。根据第五段第三句可知，匈牙利语与其没有相同的词根。故A项正确。3Based on the last two paragraphs，we can conclude that Asinging is the best way to learn a languageBthe brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the wordsCa listenrepeat method is very effective for any language learnerDDr.Katie Overy and Dr.Ludke disagree with each otherB推理判断题。根据第六段可知，唱歌有助于找到学习外语的新途径。选项A中“the best way”与文意不符；选项C中的“any language learner”表述有误；根据最后两段可知，Dr.Katie Overy与Dr.Ludke两人观点一致，排除D项。故B项正确。4In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?AA mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.BA child is going to have his first music lesson.CA student is going to learn a new English song.DAn American is going to learn some Chinese.D推理判断题。该题提问的是此次研究的发现适用于下列哪种情况。根据倒数第一段的第一句可知，此项研究对于外语学习者非常有用。故D项正确。选项A指的是母语学习，故排除。.阅读填句(2017广东省五校协作体高三联考)Everybody in this world is different from one another.But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up，we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs.These are influenced by society，our family，the education we receive and so on.1.
