失歌症
Music plays an important role in our daily life. But for some people, music is not fun at all. They have the illness that scientists call “amusia(失歌症)”. People with amusia are born without the ability to enjoy music. They often cannot tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to them.
Life can be hard for people with amusia. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like—just going to a restaurant or a shopping centre can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many people with amusia have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness.“I used to hate parties,” says Elizabeth, a 70yearold woman who only recently discovered that she has amusia. By studying people like Elizabeth, scientists are finally learning how
10
to identify(辨别) this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of people with amusia are different from those that can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的),and it is not connected with poor hearing. People with amusia can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speeches.
Many people with amusia are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Elizabeth has felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No, thanks. I have amusia,'” says Elizabeth.
1. People with amusia are those________.
A. who like music B. who have poor hearing
C. who don't like music D. who are born unable to enjoy music
2. Life is hard for people with amusia because ________.
A. music seems to be noisy for them
B. most people cannot understand them
C. they try to stay at places full of music
D. they hate parties, restaurants or shopping centres
3. Scientists identify people with amusia by________.
A. studying different kinds of music B. going to parties regularly
C. comparing music to colours D. studying people with amusia
4. ________ causes people with amusia different from most people according to scientists.
A. The brains B. The poor hearing
C. The lack of colours D. The problems with speeches
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Strange behaviour of people with amusia.
B. Musical abilities.
C. Music problems.
D. Some people's inability to enjoy music.

(2019年选练--科普环保类)
When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are playing tricks on (捉弄) you? It seems that the stars are moving all the time.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is called
10
scintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earth’s atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earth’s atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.
The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.
This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望远镜) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.
根据短文内容,选择最佳选项。
1.What happens to the light from the stars we see when the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving?
A. It looks even brighter.
B. It looks as if it is bent.
C. It looks as if it is moving.
D. It looks like drops of rain.
2.Scintillation also happens on according to the passage.
A. rainy days B. shiny days
C. cloudy days D. windy days
3.What can you see when you drop a rock into the water?
A. The rock gets broken.
B. The rock becomes unclear.
C. The water becomes much polluted.
D. The water does not move anymore.
4.The underlined word “observe” means “ ”.
10
A. watch B. listen C. draw D. explain
5.Why is scintillation a problem for astronomers?
A. The stars never stay still.
B. It makes the stars too dark to see.
C. It makes astronomers feel too hot to work.
D. Astronomers cannot observe the stars clearly.
【参考答案】

【解析】
试题分析:这篇短文主要介绍了发生在大气中的一种重要的自然现象——交光现象,短文详细的介绍了这种现象的科学原理及其对宇航员工作的影响。
