江西省赣州市十四县(市)2018-2019学年高二上学期英语期中考试试卷

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

    People have all turned to sad music to make themselves feel better at some point in their lives,

    why does the music with double or even triple(三倍) sadness help drag people out of low spirits?

    A new study throws light on what's going on inside people's brains when they match their music to their feelings, and it looks as if sad music can be enjoyable, rather than(simple) depressing. Music of this sort can arouse positive memories in people's life, thus (lift)their mood.

    Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there(existence) two groups of possible explanations for why people enjoy listening to sad music like this——one from social psychology, and the other from cognitive neuroscience(神经学).

    terms of social psychology, one idea about this is that people will feel(good) about themselves if they focus on someone who's doing even worse. Everything's going to be okay, because this person is having even worse day than they are.

    Another idea from social psychology is that people like to listen to the very music shows their present life circumstances, because this kind of music makes them feel they are understood. With their emotions (share), they definitely get a certain amount of comfort.

    So, the (conclude) again—sad music does cheer people up, and it works far better than happy music, in most cases.

Why Does Rain Smell So Good?

    Do you love the smell of rain? If so, you're not alone.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(actual), some scientists believe that people got their love for the smell of rain from {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(ancestor), who relied on wet weather for their survival.

    But what makes rain smell so nice? There are several smells associated with rainfall that people find pleasing.

    One of these smells {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(call) “petrichor(尘土的味道).” Petrichor, a term created in 1964 by two Australian scientists studying the smells of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(rain) weather, comes from some chemical reactions.

    During dry periods some plants produce oils, and when it rains, these oils go into the air. Another reaction occurs when chemicals {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(produce) by some bacteria are sent out. All of these chemicals combine to create the pleasant particular smell when rain hits {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ground.

    Another smell associated with rain is ozone(臭氧). During a thunderstorm, lightning can split oxygen and another gad and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(it) in turn can combine into a new substance. This substance reacts with other chemicals to form ozone, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} has a sharp smell.

    When someone says he can smell rain coming, it may be that wind from an {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(approach) storm has carried ozone down from the clouds and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the man's nose.
