It is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem,they say,“Can I put my headphones on? I think better that way. ” But is that really true? Does music help concentrate?
Research offers little to support the idea that listening to music improves concentration. In one small study,133 students performed reading tasks while listening to either light music,hip hop,or no music at all. Students who performed the reading tasks in silence scored the highest. Music with a higher intensity(强度)like hip hop was more distracting and had a bad effect on task performance.
Volume(音量)plays a more important role than the type of music. The study found that the louder the music,the worse the performance in concentration. The type of music didn’t matter. Data from the study showed once again that silence was the best environment to improve concentration.
However,music has a positive effect on work performance. Studies have showed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood,as well as creativity. In fact,in music - listening cultures,which students are certainly part of,there’s actually a change in mood when the music is taken away.
It’s hard to persuade my students that music doesn’t help with their concentration. Taj,a senior told me,“I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read. However,when I write,I feel like music helps me concentrate deeply. I don’t have a writer’s block. It’s easy for me to put my words on paper. ”
“Maybe not with reading,but when it comes to maths,listening to music certainly helps,” Danela told me. “You could actually be singing along with what you’re listening to and doing well in maths. ”
1. What does the underlined word “distracting” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Causing great excitement.
B. Driving someone’s attention away.
C. Making something attractive.
D. Making someone feel frightened.
2. What do Taj and Danela have in common?
A. They believe music helps concentration in any case.
B. They use music to help with their paper - writing.
C. They can’t focus on reading while listening to music.
D. They don’t listen to music while doing writing tasks.
3. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Should Students Listen to Music?
B. Does Music Help Concentration?
C. Is Music Related to Reading?
D. Can Music Change Reading Style?

答案： Ⅴ. 语篇导读 本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了听音乐是否有助于集中注意力的问题。
1. B 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Research offers little to support the idea that listening to music improves concentration.”可知，本段主要讨论听音乐是否能提高注意力，再结合画线词 distracting 后文的内容“and had a bad effect on task performance”可知，高强度的音乐，如嘻哈音乐对任务表现有更大的负面影响，故此处画线词 distracting 与 B 项“Driving someone's attention away.”（转移某人的注意力。）的解释意思相近，高强度的音乐会使人分心。故选 B。
2. C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“I wouldn't be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read”以及最后一段中的第一句可知，Taj 和 Danela 的共同之处在于，他们在听音乐时，无法集中精力阅读。故选 C。
3. B 主旨大意题。根据第一段末句“Does music help concentrate?”可知，第一段末提出问题，文章主要围绕着这个问题进行讨论，故 B 项“Does Music Help Concentration?”（音乐有助于集中注意力吗?）适合作文章的标题，总结归纳全文。故选 B。
