限时规范练34(选修6　Unit 17B)‎ 核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自我、积极人生的素养能力意识 ‎　限时规范练第68页　 ‎ 一、阅读理解 A A baby may fall back asleep at 2 am to a gentle song,but new music designed to help adults relax sounds rather different from Rock-a-bye Baby.‎ Boston-based start-up Sync Project uses biometrics (生物统计学) to play music that fits your mood.Its Unwind app measures your heart beat via your smartphone and uses these readings to play different songs by UK band Marconi Union.After listening,you take a brief survey on how relaxed you feel.‎ ‎“Music can be used for everyday wellness as well as for clinical applications,” says Sync Project co-founder Ketki Karanam.The state of sleep and relaxation was an obvious place to start.“We decided to start by focusing on relaxation as we felt that was one area where people were using music to calm themselves down or relax,” she says.‎ As well as the Unwind app,the company plans to collect biometric data from attendees at an overnight performance of composer Max Richter’s 8-hour album Sleep,designed to help people nod off,in London next month.Concertgoers will be invited to wear activity-tracking OURA rings,which also measure heart rate and body temperature.In addition,the volunteers will wear the rings while going to sleep at home,with and without the help of Richter’s music.‎ By analyzing these readings,the Sync Project team finally aims to develop its own artificial intelligence-based tools that will use music to improve general well-being and even treat clinical conditions.‎ ‎“Music has certain obvious ways it can excite or relax us,but there are limits and it certainly can’t replace real treatments,” says David Eagleman at Stanford University in California,who was an adviser to Richter on the Sleep album.‎ Music can help with insomnia (失眠症) or pain relief,says Kevin Morgan,director of the Clinical Sleep Research Unit at Loughborough University,UK.“That said,if the presenting insomnia is so ‘mild’ it can be effectively managed with Spotify (which gives you access to millions of songs),it’s unlikely to have been a major clinical problem in the first place,” he says.‎ ‎【篇章导读】本文是说明文。一家科技公司正在研发一项可以自动选择符合用户心情的音乐来改善人体健康并用于医学治疗的人工智能系统。‎ ‎1.What can users benefit from the Unwind app?‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.Have a health check.‎ B.Prevent heart attack.‎ C.Fall asleep quickly.‎ D.Become calm.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。由第二段的“uses these readings to play different songs...After listening,you take a brief survey on how relaxed you feel”和第三段的“people were using music to calm themselves down or relax”可知,Unwind是一款利用生物统计学根据用户心情播放音乐的应用程序,用户在听到舒缓的音乐之后可以得到放松。‎ ‎2.What does the Sync Project team want to find by analyzing the biometric data?‎ A.How babies fall back to sleep quickly.‎ B.How music might affect sleep and relaxation.‎ C.How body temperature changes during the night.‎ D.How music tools help people appreciate music.‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。由第三段的“The state of sleep and relaxation was an obvious place to start...where people were using music to calm themselves down or relax”和第五段的“aims to develop its own artificial intelligence-based tools that will use music to improve general well-being and even treat clinical ‎ conditions”可知,该公司通过分析这些数据,了解音乐对人的睡眠和放松状况的影响,从而研发出利用音乐可以改善人体健康并用于医学治疗的人工智能工具。‎ ‎3.What’s David Eagleman’s attitude towards music treating clinical conditions?‎ A.Curious. B.Doubtful.‎ C.Favorable. D.Disappointed.‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。由倒数第二段David Eagleman的观点“Music has certain obvious ways it can excite or relax us,but there are limits and it certainly can’t replace real treatments”可知,他对音乐治疗临床病症的疗效持怀疑的态度。‎ ‎4.Which of the following does Kevin Morgan probably agree with?‎ A.Music only works on mild insomnia.‎ B.Insomnia isn’t a clinical condition at all.‎ C.Music can’t be used for clinical applications.‎ D.Mild insomnia cured by music doesn’t require medical help.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。由最后一段的“if the presenting insomnia is so ‘mild’ it can be effectively managed with Spotify...it’s unlikely to have been a major clinical problem in the first place”可知,Kevin Morgan认为能通过音乐改善的失眠是不需要通过医疗手段干预的。‎ B Scott and Daniel Harry are enjoying everyday tasks like shopping and washing for the first time following their move to an accommodation support house in Kurwongbah,north of Brisbane last year.‎ Disability Services Queensland’s Strengthening Non-Government Organisations project provided an accommodation support model that would enable residents like Daniel and Scott to live more independently.‎ The house is just one of many accommodation support services funded through the project.The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs,including medical support.Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible,depending on each resident’s requirements.‎ Scott and Daniel,who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy,require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living.Before they moved to the house,they lived with their family.Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain (负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.‎ ‎“We were heavy-hearted,” says Scott,who is planning to write a book about his life experiences.“But our parents now have a lot more time for themselves.We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”‎ Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener,taking care of his own vegetable garden.The men share the house with one other young man,and they go to rugby league games,meeting up with friends.‎ Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah.Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities has not been without its challenges.‎ ‎“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says.“The home is Scott and Daniel’s home,however,it is also a workplace for their support staff.Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”‎ ‎“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months.However,by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”‎ ‎【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。文章介绍了一项让Scott兄弟俩可以更加独立地生活的残疾人住宿支持服务。‎ ‎5.What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?‎ A.It was built by their parents.‎ B.It can accommodate four residents.‎ C.It belongs to a governmental project.‎ D.It’s located in the center of Brisbane.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。由第三段的“The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs...”可知,这个房子可以住4个人。‎ ‎6.Why did Scott and Daniel’s parents wake up frequently at night? ‎ A.To help them do exercise.‎ B.They were making a lot of noise.‎ C.To check on their breathing.‎ D.They were under emotional pressure.‎ 答案C 解析细节理解题。由第四段的“their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines”可知,父母晚上起来是因为要查看Scott和Daniel两兄弟的呼吸状况。‎ ‎7.How did Scott feel while living with his parents?‎ A.A bit guilty. B.Quite happy.‎ C.Very proud. D.Slightly angry.‎ 答案A 解析推理判断题。由第四段的“it placed a physical and emotional strain on their parents”和第五段Scott说的“We were heavy-hearted”可知,他感到内疚。‎ ‎8.What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?‎ A.Lack of fund.‎ B.No workplace.‎ C.Inexperienced staff members.‎ D.Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。由倒数第二段的“The home is Scott and Daniel’s home,however,it is also a workplace for their support staff.Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all”可知,同时满足服务人员和被照顾者的需求是个挑战。‎ 二、完形填空 My Mom grew up in a traditional Chinese family in which open expressions of love
