[2025 江西赣州一模] When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I preferred. They said to me, “David, the music you like listening to is a lot of noise.” At
the same time, my father described the music that he liked as beautiful. As it turns out, they are not alone. As I grow older, I've often heard people of my age say, “Today’s music is terrible.” Many older people just don’t like new music. But why is that?
The mere exposure effect（纯粹接触效应） may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. The new songs and singers during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don't have so much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favourites. According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music.
But I think there is another reason for older people’s dislike of new music. Most new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some types of music began as a rebellion by young people against out-of-date ways of doing things. These types include punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. They naturally interest younger listeners.
Do your parents dislike the music you like too? Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that.

①Because the new music sounds terrible.

11—15 C A D B A
11. C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The mere exposure effect may explain this… Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favourites.”可知，年长的人不熟悉新音乐，所以他们不喜欢新音乐；再根据第三段的“But I think there is another reason… Most new music, after all, is not written for them.”可知，大多数新音乐不是为年长的人写的。所以③④正确，故选 C 项。
12. A 推理判断题。根据第二段的“The mere exposure effect… It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to prefer it.”可知，纯粹接触效应意味着对某事物越熟悉，就越有可能偏爱它，A 选项符合题意。故选 A 项。
13. D 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子可知，一些类型的音乐是年轻人对过时做事方式的反抗，rebellion 意为“反抗”，与 disagreement 意思相近。故选 D 项。
14. B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music.”可知，大多数人到 33 岁就不再探索新音乐了，故选 B 项。
15. A 主旨大意题。文章主要探讨了为什么父母不喜欢孩子喜欢的音乐，A 选项最适合作标题。故选 A 项。
