Do you have a tough math test coming up? Then listen to some classical piano music just before the test. You might end up with a higher score. Researchers at a university in California conducted an experiment. They asked a group of college students to listen to some piano music by a famous 18th century composer before taking a math test. They were surprised to find that the students’ scores jumped 8 to 9 points.[17]The music seems to excite nerve activities in the brain, similar to the activity that occurs when a person is figuring out a math problem. However, the scientists warn before you get too excited about applying this method to your math test, [18]you should remember that brain-exciting effects last only 10 or 15 minutes. Would rock music work as well as the piano music did? No, the scientists say. In fact, the less complex music might even interfere with the brains reasoning ability.
16. What is this passage mainly about?
17. Why can classical music play a positive role in problem solving?
18. What is one of the findings of the research?

选项 A、The difference between classical music and rock music.
B、Why classical music is popular with maths students.
C、The effects of music on the results of maths tests.
D、How to improve your reasoning ability.

答案C

解析 主旨题。短文首先建议在数学考试之前听一些占典钢琴曲,因为研究发现这种情况下学生的分数提高了8-9分,并解释说音乐刺激脑部的神经活动从而达到提高分数的效果。然后又通过转折指出这种影响只能维持10—15分钟,并且摇滚乐是没有这种效果的,可见短文主要是在讲音乐对数学考试结果的影响,故答案为C)。
