一、信息还原。(每小题2分,共40分)
Passage 1
Do you have the experience that you are having a test but the melody(旋律) of “APT, APT...” remains in your head out of control? Although the songs aren't played now, they can't get out of your brain. They are known as earworms.
An earworm can be kept in your head after you listen to the music. But it also happens if something brings back a memory of the song, like visiting the place where you first heard it. 1 That's why it is seen as a common thing.
Why do we get earworms? 2 They have been doing some research into what makes a particular part of music so catchy. A catchy piece of music means it is very easy to learn, and can be kept in your brain for a long period. They've also learnt that most earworms have melodies that are easy to remember.
What would cause the human brain to repeat the same song at the very beginning? ______ 3 ______ But long ago, before people used writing to communicate, we passed along information through songs. So, we may have developed ways to keep music in our head in order to remember valuable information.
Whatever the reason, when a song can't get out of your brain, it can be unpleasant! 4 You can listen to another song or try to do something else, or tell others about your earworm which can change the way your brain forms memories of music. 5 Then perhaps you should just sit back and try to enjoy the earworm!
A. This is still a mystery.
B. There is a song in your mind.
C. What if none of these ways work?
D. Artists make use of it to makeup songs.
E. Scientists have studied earworms for years.
F. Luckily, there may be some ways to avoid an earworm.
G. A study shows that 90 per cent of people experience earworms.

【分析】
解决英语信息还原题需紧扣上下文的逻辑关系（如因果、指代、假设等），先明确全文主题是“耳虫（earworms）”的相关内容，再逐一分析每个空格前后的语境：
1. 第1空后提到“这就是为什么它是常见的事”，需补充耳虫的普遍性，对应体现多数人经历耳虫的选项；
2. 第2空前问耳虫产生的原因，空后提到“他们做研究”，需引出研究主体；
3. 第3空前问大脑重复歌曲开头的原因，空后解释远古用歌曲传信息，说明原因未明确，对应“谜”的表述；
4. 第4空前说耳虫让人不舒服，空后列举解决方法，需引出有避免耳虫的办法；
5. 第5空前说有解决方法，空后说“享受耳虫”，需对应假设方法无效的情况。
【解析】
1. 第1空：后文“That's why it is seen as a common thing”说明需体现耳虫的普遍性，G选项“A study shows that 90 per cent of people experience earworms”符合语境，故1选G；
2. 第2空：前文提出问题“Why do we get earworms?”，后文“They have been doing some research”说明研究主体是科学家，E选项“Scientists have studied earworms for years”衔接上下文，故2选E；
