A(2025·苏州中考)
Want to know what your friends are really like? Take a look at their music playlist. More than 36,000 people, from all over the world, took part in an experiment(实验). It compared their personalities with how much they liked different musical styles. The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here's what certain musical styles say about who you are.
Rock
Like the sound of loud guitars and heavy drum beats? This type of music sounds very exciting, but fans of it are often quite gentle.
Country music
If cowboy hats and guitars get you singing along, it's possible that you're hard-working and prefer traditional styles and values.
Jazz
Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning. If you like the saxophone of John Coltrane, then you're probably self-confident and easy to get on with.

Classical music
If Beethoven and Mozart have you turning up the music, you're probably quiet, but happy with who you are and comfortable with the world around you.
But the experiment didn't tell the whole story: where we grow up, who we often go out with, and our personal experiences play into our taste too. The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. But no matter what style you like, music is for everyone. And enjoying different types of music lets you get a taste of cultures you might not have experienced before. So experiment with your playlist!
1. What influences our musical taste according to the experiment?
A. Personalities. B. Friends. C. Parents. D. Instruments.
2. According to the passage, if Daniel is creative(有创造力的), what may be found in his playlist?
A. Rock. B. Country music. C. Jazz. D. Classical music.
3. What may be the writer's advice for us?
A. Changing our personalities. B. Trying different types of music.
C. Doing experiments with friends. D. Getting more learning experiences.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How different cultures influence you. B. What your playlist says about you.
C. What songs we can choose to enjoy. D. Why there are different musical styles.

答案
【语篇导读】本文通过一项全球实验,介绍了音乐偏好与性格之间的关联,最后鼓励人们尝试多样化的音乐风格。
1. A 提示:细节理解题。根据第一段中“The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to.”可知,实验结果表明性格会影响我们的音乐品味。
2. C 提示:推理判断题。根据小标题 Jazz 下第一句“Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning.”可知,喜欢爵士乐的歌迷总会提出新的想法,还擅长学习。由此推断,如果丹尼尔很有创造力,他的歌单里可能会有爵士乐。
3. B 提示:细节理解题。根据文章最后两句“And enjoying different types of music lets you get a taste of cultures you might not have experienced before. So experiment with your playlist!”可知,作者建议我们尝试不同类型的音乐。
4. B 提示:主旨大意题。根据第一段最后两句“The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here's what certain musical styles say about who you are.”及通读全文可知,文章是围绕音乐偏好反映性格展开的,所以 B 项“你的歌单反映了你的性格”最能概括文章主旨。
