新核⼼⼤学英语读写教程1课⽂翻译及课后题答案第五单元Unit Five Benefits of MusicⅠ. Pre-listening ActivitiesPart 1略■ScriptThe minds of young people are filled with eternal hope, which reflects in their musical creations. This can be clearly seen while watching them learn to play musical instruments and when they are performing. The combination of young minds and music brings joy and hope.There have been a lot of studies conducted on the influence of music. In the elderly people, music has been shown to not only reduce tension and anxiety but also helps reduce the feeling of isolation and solitude. And a surprising revelation of this study was that the subjects enrolled for this study showed an increased production of human growth hormone, which has a positive effect on the side effects of aging like wrinkling, general aches and pains.Health workers can draw an important inference from this study. It shows that group activity and interaction with others is important for staying healthy and having a better standard of living. It proves the long held belief that music is a means to link with our higher selves and thereby help us lead a healthy life that can be enjoyed to the fullest.Ⅱ. Listening TasksTask 1 Understanding News Reports1. D2. A3. B4. C5.B6. C7. A■ScriptNews Item OneQuestions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.The World Bank has warned that 100 million more people will be pushed into poverty by 2030 unless action is taken to prevent global warming. It says global warming will ravage crops and fuel the spread of malaria and other diseases. Laura Becca reports from Washington.“The World Bank says that climate change is already having an effect on the poorest people who are struggling to raise crops in extreme weather and low rainfall. They say the world’s poorer receive fewer resources and are woefully unprepared to deal with further climate shocks such asrising seas or severe drought. They’re calling for more to be done to help those in need and they want world leaders to act to reduce carbon emissions. That report had been released just a few weeks before a UN climate summit in Paris.”Questions:1. Which of the following statements about the impact of global warming is NOT true?2. How are the world leaders supposed to help the poor according to the news?News Item TwoQuestions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.Many parties and concerts at SXSW feature new music. This one honored Buddy Holly, the great singer and songwriter who died in 1959. He was only twenty-two when he died in a plane crash while on tour.This event was organized by the Buddy Holy Foundation and its principal mover, Buddy Holly’s widow, M aria Elena Holly. The foundation’s aim, among others, is to help aspiring artists survive success.Maria Elena says Buddy Holly had lost the rights to some of his own songs because he was new at the music business. She says the idea for the foundation came from Buddy himself.Austin entertainment attorney Stephen Easley says the foundation tries to help aspiring musicians learn the business. The Buddy Holly Foundation will give an award beginning next year. It will include ten thousand dollars and free ma nagement services, and is named for Holly’s song, “Learning the Game”.The Buddy Holly Foundation and Maria Elena Holly are encouraging musicians, young and old, to make sure that Buddy Holly’s music does not “fade away”.Questions:1. What do we learn about the Buddy Holy Foundation from the news report?2. What will be the award given by the Buddy Holly Foundation?News Item ThreeQuestions 1 to 3 will be based on the following news item.Forbes magazine says there are now a record of 1226 billionaires on its annual rich list, compared with 140 when it was launched 25 years ago. The Mexican telecoms magnate Carlos Slim, who’s worth an estimated $69 billion, tops the list for the third year in a row followed by the software magnate Bill Gates and financier Warren Buffett. No Indian billionaires are in the top 10 this year, and the only Chinese one is the Hong Kong property magnate Li Ka-shing. Steve Forbes explains why.“Well, what it tells us is there’s a lot of churn. There hasn’t been a lot of growth in the economy in the last year. The number of billionaires went up 16, but yet some regions go down: China went down a little bit; Russia went down because of weak commodity prices. But the fact is there hasn’t been a lot of real vigorous growth in the worl d, and that’s reflected on the list this year.”Questions:1. How many billionaires were on the list when Forbes magazine was launched 25 years ago?2. Who came first on the list for three consecutive years?3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the news?Task 2 Understanding a Long ConversationsConversation One1. D2. B3. C4. A5. DConversation One1. B2. B3. B4.

But by then Brian and Lisa are wide awake.M: Oh, no.W: Oh, yes. Sometimes it takes us till mid-night just to get them settle down again.M: Have you tried talking to them?W: We have n’t even really met them yet except to say a quick hello. I hate to get off on the wrong foot.M: You are not going to like them if you can not settle it as soon as possible.W: I know, but I feel stupid complaining.M: You said yourself it is driving you crazy.W: Well, you know how early I have to get up to be here at the office. I’m just not getting enough sleep and neither are the kids. They’re so irritable when I get home in the afternoon.M: Maybe you could go over sometime with a little gift—a plant for the yard or something. Then you could ask about their son whether they have any other c hildren and they’ll be sure to ask about yours.W: Yeah, and then what?M: Then you could mention that the hardest thing is getting your kids to get sleep at night.W: And keeping them in the sleep.M: That’s the idea.

I also changed my hair.M: Yes, you look very different now.W: But buying new clothes was easy. It was more difficult playing the records.M: It doesn’t look difficult.W: That’s what I thought, but it is. I had to learn about pop music, about different groups, and I had to find songs that sounded good together. I was listening to hundreds of records every week.M: Did you practice often?W: Yes, I did. But I was disorganized and I made mistakes. The experienced DJs were very organized. They had all their records ready. People didn’t like the music I played and I was unhappy about that.M: But you didn’t stop.W: No, I didn’t. I wanted to get it right. I was playing records eight hours a day—I wasn’t practicing my flute at all!M: Did it make a difference?W: Yes it is. After four weeks, I was ready to be a real DJ.M: How did you feel?W: Well, I was feeling nervous when I arrived at the club. We started late and the people were impatient.

B2. D3. A4. D5. C■ScriptListening for general informationForget counting sheep, next time you are having trouble dropping off to sleep, try putting ona jazz CD. Researchers have shown just 45 minutes of relaxing music before bedtime can make for a restful night.The Taiwanese researchers studied the sleeping patterns of 60 elderly people with sleep problems. They told the Journal of Advanced Nursing, how the technique was easy to learn and lacked the side-effects of other treatments. The study participants were either given a choice of music to listen to before going to sleep or nothing at all. The music group were able to choose from six tapes that featured soft, slow music—around 60-80 beats per minute—such as jazz, folk or orchestral pieces.Listening to music caused physical changes that aided restful sleep, including a lower heart and respiratory rate, the researchers found. The people in the music group reported a 35% improvement in their sleep, including better and longer night-time sleep and less dysfunction during the day.Listening for specific information1. According to the passage, which of the following is the best when you have trouble getting tosleep?2. How many people participated in the study?3. What advantage did the technique have in treating sleep problems?4. What kind of music did people in the music group listen to?5. What would listening to music probably result in according to the researchers?Passage TwoListening for general information1. stimulate the mind2. create a meditative moodListening for specific information1. D2. B3. C4. A5. B■ScriptListening for general informationLet’s face it—we all have some form of stress. Whether it’s due to work, school reports, family, or relationships, we could all use a break now and then. Yet in the hustle and bustle of everyday’s life, a lot of us can’t find the time to just drop everything and take it easy.Well, what if someone told you that by just playing music from classical composers like Mozart, Strauss, or Vivaldi, you might find your job a little easier and that it is beneficial to your learning and mind relaxation. It can also reduce our levels of stress. Various studies of children have shown that those who receive music education or play a musical instrument often have increased academic skills. Don Campbell, author of The Mozart Effect, has dedicated himself to studying the effects of music on the mind and body. He counsels students that classical music playing in the background can help them concentrate for longer periods of time and memorize material more easily. He feels that Mozart’s music has a balance that makes it especially beneficial. But Campbell doesn’t stop with Mozart. He says that Bach can stimulate the mind, military marches can rev up the body, and religious music can help create a meditative mood. It’s important to find what works best for your situation.So the next time you feel yourself overwhelmed with work and deadlines, or if you’re just finding it difficult to concentrate,remember the power of music.Listening for specific information1. Why do people often suffer from stress according to the speaker?2. Which of the following is not mentioned as the benefits of listening to classical music?3. What does Don Campbell study?4. What makes Mozart’s music especially beneficial?5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?Passage ThreeListening for general information1. It means listening to a Mozart Sonata increases IQ.2. Classical music, rock, hip hop, popular music etc.Listening for specific information1. A2. D3. B4. C5. B■ScriptListening for general informationIn 1993 researchers from the University of Wisconsin and UC Irvine discovered that listening to a Mozart Sonata increased IQ. This idea called the “Mozart Effect” has been confirmed by various studies around the world.The study suggested that IQ rises 8 to 9 points when listening to Mozart compared to silence. Other studies have suggested improved test scores after listening to Mozart Piano Concertos. Why does this occur?One reason is that classical music is generally very relaxing. Once the brain and body is relaxed, it is more receptive to new input. Classical music as opposed to silence or rock, hip hop or other popular music creates an environment that is conducive to cerebral activities.Not all pieces of classical music are relaxing or create an environment for better cognitive abilities. However, compared to other genres of music, classical music has shown the most potential for increasing IQ.Most classical music is “easy” to listen to, so much that it is sometimes considered “boring” compared to popular music. However, compared to other forms of popular music, it is less distracting. Therefore it helps improve focus while doing other activities.Anecdotal evidence has shown that playing classical music to plants increases the speed and development of plant growth, and that playing classical music to babies increases the reasoning skills of the child.Listening for specific information1. When was the study conducted?2. What happens to the brain when it is relaxed?3. Why do people sometimes feel bored listening to classical music?4. What will happen when playing classical music to plants?5. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?Ⅴ.

They may be only reacting. I would like to confront the Professor with an instance of reasoning power on the part of an insect which cannot be explained away in any other manner.During the summer, while I was at work on my doctoral thesis, wekept a female wasp at our cottage. It was more like a child of our own than a wasp, except that it looked more like a wasp than a child of our own. That was one of the ways we told the difference.It was still a young wasp when we got it and for some time we could not get it to eat or drink, it was so shy. Since it was female, we decided to call it Miriam.One evening I had been working late in my laboratory fooling around with some gin and other chemicals, and in leaving the room I tripped over a line of diamonds which someone had left lying on the floor and knocked over my card index which contained the names and addresses ofall the larvae worth knowing in North American. The cards went everywhere.I was too tired to stop to pick them that night. As I went, however, I noticed the wasp was flying about in circles over the scattered cards.―Maybe Miriam will pick them up‖, I said half laughingly to myself, neverthinking for one moment that such would be the case.When I came down the next morning Miriam was still asleep in her box, evidently tired out. And well she might have been. For there on thefloor lay the cards scattered all about just as I had left them thenight before. The faithful little insect had bussed about all nighttrying to come to some decision about picking them up and arranging them in the boxes for me, and then had figured out for herself that, as she knew practically nothing on larvae of any sort except wasp larvae, she would probably make more of a mess of rearranging them than if she hadleft them on the floor for me to fix. It was just too much for her to tackle, and discouraged, she went over and lay down in her box, whereshe cried herself to sleep.1. Professor Bouvier most probably agrees that __________.A. insects‘ reasoning power has nothing to do with intelligenceB. wasps can only behave in an instinctive mannerC. wasps are different from other winged creaturesD. the issue of insects‘ intelligence need further research2. The author took the wasp Miriam to the cottage because __________.A. Miriam was treated like a childB. Miriam was the pet of the familyC. the author was studying insects for his doctoral thesisD. the author wanted to prove that insects have intelligence3. When the card index scattered on the floor, the author __________.A. decided to pick them up the next morningB. believed Miriam would pick them upC. didn‘t understand why Miriam flew about over the cardsD. found it ridiculous that Miriam would pick them up4. By saying ―And well she might have been‖ (Sen. 2, Para. 6), the author thinks that Miriam was __________.A. exhaustedB. intelligentC. energeticD. depressed35. Which of the following statement was based on facts rather thanon the author‘s pure thinking?A. Miriam cried herself to sleep.B. Miriam had bussed about all night.C. Miriam could only tell wasp larvae.D. Miriam had left the cards on the floor.Careful Reading – Passage 2The 35-year-old Beijing woman is watching an ad showing a giant television made by the Chinese companyHaier. A stream of introduction for the television floats in and outof view, including one about receivingelectronic mail over the tube. A surfer rides the waves between skyscrapers, his wash leaving an ―@‖ in thewater. The ad is ―too direct‖, she tells an interviewer. ―Ther e is this guy talking, telling me all about the product, showing me some images. We get it –but we don‘t like it.‖Since a Shanghai television station aired China‘s first TVcommercial in 1979, most have been the plain, straightforward, tell-the-name-of-the-product-and-what-it-does kind. Those started disappearing the U.S. in thelate 1960s in favor of more subtle pitches using irony and humor. Now a study says Chinese commercials don‘t have to talk down to consumers anymore either – at least the one-th ird of them living in China‘s prosperous cities,and who most interest advertisers.Even the Western agencies that win awards elsewhere for hip, inventive commercials usually keep it simple inChina. After all this country only began flirting with capitalism 20 years ago and is fairly new to advertising.And to consumer culture, too. China is still a developing nation where an income of just $2,0000 a year qualifies an urban household as middle-class. On the other hand, city people who once aspired to own the ―big three‖ – atelevision, refrigerator and washing machine – have already moved up to DVD players and mobile phones. And with a population of 1.3billion, the world‘s largest, China is a huge market. That is why the world‘s largestcompanies, from Coca-Cola to Procter $ Gamble, are battling it out in China. Advertisers spent more than $500million dollars through the first half of the year, estimates market researcher, making China the largest advertising market in Asia after Japan.The prevailing view of many of those advertisers and their agencies is that the Chinese don‘t yet get clever orsubtle advertising and they prefer a straightforward ad withlots of information. But the April survey of almost500 people in five China‘s largest cities discovered ―a savvy urban population, tired of a diet of ?boring‘ ads and hungry to be treated as the sophisticated decision-makers they are.‖ In short, the Chinese appreciation of what makes a good ad is no different from their counterparts anywhere else in the world.1. The 35-year-old woman was dissatisfied with the Haire TV because __________.A. there is too much misleading information about itB. its function is too similar to that of a computerC. its advertisement was too difficult to understandD. it has been advertised in a simple-minded way2. By saying that ―Chinese commercials don‘t have to talk down to consumers‖, the author suggests that__________.A. the plain and straight-forward way of advertising should be abolishedB. it is not necessary to take up irony and humor in advertisementC. advertisers are more interested in how to attract the high-class citizensD. those disappearing in the U.S. may be just appropriate in China 3. What can we learn about the consumer culture in China?A. It is not as complicated as that outside China.B. It has not been fully understood yet.C. Its influence on advertising is still limited.D. It is one of the most important products of capitalism4. The author will agree that China‘s middle-class households__________.A. are interested in inventive ads instead of simple onesB. earn less than the overseas middle-class householdsC. contribute most to China‘s consumer marketD. no longer aspired to own the ―the big three‖5. The passage mainly intends to discuss __________.A. the most effective ways of advertising in ChinaB. the development of advertising styles in ChinaC. consumers‘ view on the ads in ChinaD. a misconception on the ads in China4Careful Reading – Passage 3The HMS Ontario is one of the most famous shipwrecks and was discovered by two Rochester engineers Jim Kennard, 64, who has spent more than half his life pursuing The HMS Ontario, along with Dan Scoville, 35, a shipwreck diver. They discovered The HMS Ontario deepoff the southern shore of Lake Ontario when side-scanning sonar system that Mr. Kennard, a retired Kodak engineer, designed and built himself, showed a picture of something deep in Lake Ontario. The location of the shipwreck had been unknown for 228 years.Experienced ship wreck divers Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville have discovered seven of Lake Ontario‘s estimated 500 shipwrecks in the last six years alone. Jim Kennard also designed a microwave-sized remote submersible that they deployed to go down and take the shipwreck‘s video. The shipwreck is quit e deep in LakeOntario, so the remote machine with video was very useful.―Right away we saw the quarter gallery, the windows in thestern, the cannons,‖ said Jim Kennard. ―There was no mistaking. That‘s when we started getting excited.‖ The discovery of t he ship wreck was confirmed by The HMS Ontario expert Canadian Arthur Britton Smith, who authored the definitive book on the HMS Ontario.The loss of the HMS Ontario, is one of the worst-ever disasters recorded on Lake Ontario. In her time The HMS Ontario was the most-feared ship on the Great Lakes. It was 1780 and the Yankees werethreatening to storm across Lake Ontario and seize Montreal from the British. But the intimidating 226-ton Ontario –22 cannons, two 80-foot masts, a beamy hull with cargo space for 1000 barrels, was intimidating. On Oct. 31, 1780, she sailed into a storm with around 120 passengers on board and was never seen again. The British tried to keep the news of the ship wreck hush hush.The HMS Ontario appears to be in perfect shape and The HMS Ontariohas aged remarkably well though zebra mussels cover much of the woodwork. Leaning on a 45-degree angle, her masts still jut straight up from her decks where several guns lie upside-down and a brass bell, brass cleats and the stern lantern are perfectly visible. The Seven windows acrossher stern still have glass. Shipwrecks in cold freshwater are well preserved, that is why great lakes shipwrecks are prized. At 500 feet deep, where the HMS Ontario lies, there is no light and no oxygen to speed up the decomposition, and little marine life to feed on the wood.There was no evidence of the roughly 113 Canadian men, women,children and American prisoners who went down with the ship - the passengers – mostly Canadian soldiers from the 34th regiment – were never found.Nobody knows for sure how many passengers perished on the Ontario;the British kept their prisoner counts secret.Out of worries over looting, Mr. Jim Kennard and Mr. Dan Scovilleare not revealing The HMS Ontario‘s location. The v essel sits in water up to 500 feet deep and cannot be reached by anyone other thanexperienced divers. It is not believed to have any shipwreck treasure on it as was reported other than a few shipwreck coins that belonged to the passengers.Kennard said he and his partner have gathered enough ship wreckvideo of the ship that it will not be necessary to return to the site. He added that they hope to make a documentary about the discovery with the video of the shipwreck.The Great Lakes host many shipwreck locations and there are an estimated 4,700 shipwrecks in total, of which 500 are in Lake Ontario. Freshwater shipwrecks are famous for their preservation of the vessels and make popular diving spots.1. The two discoverers of the HMS Ontario saw its video __________.A. with the help of a scanning sonar systemB. with the help of a remote submersibleC. on an Ontario TV channelD. on a DVD about history2. The HMS Ontario was most probably a __________.A. cruise linerB. fishing boatC. war shipD. cargo ship3.

Paragraph 6.Careful Reading – Passage 4Self-Portrait with Straw Hat (1887), a van Gogh self-portraitdonein Paris, is one of his most intriguing yet most neglected works. The artist‘s gloomy eyes stare out from his face in half-profile, facing tothe left, and the world-weary expression initially appears to support the view of critics such as James Risser, who explains van Gogh‘s self-portraits as a sustained search for identity.Self-Portrait with Straw Hat (1887) initially appears to comply with Risser‘s eva luation. In this work, thepainter depicted himself wearing a jumper of intense blue before a background done almost entirely in gray but with noticeable blurs of blue—most notably in the top right corner. Overall the painting appears to be unfinished, a hastily done portrait that the painter abandoned to create more lasting works.In its incom plete state we can precisely read ―an unfinished life,‖ and in the wild strokes of casual blue in thebackground and splashed across the artist‘s garments we arei nstantly confronted with the sense of growing ―more and more out of control.‖But is this an accurate evaluation? On the one hand, Risser seems to have legitimate cause for envisioning van Gogh‘s self-portrait as psychological self-analysis, a painting th at ―reveals an emotional intensity hiding beneath the surface‖. But is the chaotic surfaceeffect of the blue in this painting actually a form of self-criticism, theartist‘s own intense and emotional despair over his loss of control—or is it representative of an underlyingaesthetic whose focus is not the painter himself? Anintriguing alternative exists: van Gogh may not have painted the self-portraits as psychoanalytical evaluations of himself, but instead merely as experiments in technique. The artist often stated that he painted himself only because he lacked other models, a view found in thecritical work of both Richard Kendall and T.J. Shackelford. Perhaps, then, van Gogh was not trying to learn about himself but about art as a whole while painting these portraits and hence we ought to read theself-portraits as a series of statements about art itself. The key to this analysis may be a careful exploration of the special color symbolism van Gogh attached to the color blue. Unlike our everyday association of blue with melancholy or boredom, the artist imagined blue as a symbol for the infinite or the limitless. Such a view calls into question the idea that self-portraits such as van Gogh‘s Self-Portrait with Straw Hat (1887) were a psychological profil e of the artist‘s melancholy or despair. Instead, when we consider blue‘s special symbolic r ole as the infinite in van Gogh‘s Paris self-portraits, we discover a new narrative describing the painter‘s own aesthetic: his insistence that the future of art lay in expressive rather thanrealistic methods.1. What does James Risser think of van Gogh‘s self-portraits?A. Different self-portraits represent van Gogh‘s different attitude towards life.B. Many of his self-portraits have been neglected by critics.。
