Music and Driving
Listening to loud music while driving can seriously hamper reaction times and cause accidents,new research suggests.
A Canadian study found people took up to 20% longer to perform physical and mental tasks to loud music .If motorists were delayed that long at the wheel they could suffer a fatal crash, warned the RAG Foundation,a British motoring organization.Edmund King,the RAC
Foundation's executive director,said the study showed that"not only is loud music a nuisance to other,it could also be the cause of accidents".
Earlier research by the RAG Foundation found drivers were twice as likely to skip a red light while listening to music.In the Canadian study volunteers carried out tasks while listening to levels of noise varying from 53 decibels(equivalent to an office environment)to 95 decibels(equivalent to an oil rig).Researchers found reactions to be significantly decreased at higher noise levels for both physical and mental work.At 95 decibels reaction times to tasks that involve decision making plummeted（骤然减少）by 20%.Edmund King said:" The findings of the Canadian study are bad news for decibel-loving drivers,as they prove that not only is loud music a nuisance to others,it could also be the cause of accidents on the roads."Drivers are at even greater risk if they listen to music with a pounding beat rather than more relaxed tunes,according to experts.
Conrad King,consultant psychologist to the foundation,said:"It is important that drivers choose their music carefully when driving,as up-tempo music has been shown to cause drivers to have double the amount of accidents as those listening to slower music."In general,if music is ahove 60 beats per minute,listeners experience a faster rate and increased blood pressure."It doesn't matter if you listen to opera,classical or the latest rave music.It's the speed of the beat that counts."

It can be concluded that speed of the beat is the most important criterion when choosing the music for a driver.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
答案：A
解析：
本题给出的信息是正确的。在文章第二段第一句话中提到“... people took up to 20% longer to perform physical and mental tasks to loud music.”由此可见，只要听着声音较大的音乐，无论是进行体力劳动还是脑力劳动大约都会多花费20%的时间。
本题给出的信息是错误的。在文章第二段最后一句话中提到了埃德蒙·金的观点" not only is loud music a nuisance to others , it could also be the cause of accidents"，由此可见，吵闹的音乐不光会影响到别人，还会导致车祸，所以他并不认为大声的音乐时驾驶员没有害处。
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。文章中只在最后一段提到“if music is above 60 beats per minute , listeners experience a faster heart rate and increased blood pressure.”如果每分钟音乐的节拍超过60下，听者就会感到心跳加速和血压增高。全文没有任何地方提到了喧闹的音乐是否会造成心脏病发作。
本题给出的信息是错误的。在第三段中提到：" At 95 decibels reaction times to tasks that involve decision making plummeted by 20% .”。只要抓住这一细节，即可得出答案。由这句话可以知道，减少的幅度是20%而不是53%。
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。全文完全没有提到爵士乐这种音乐形式，只提到了节奏感较强以及较为轻松的音乐。
本题给出的信息是正确的。文章最后一段开头就提到了康拉德·金，他说：" It is important that drivers choose their music carefully when driving.”并指出了需要慎重选择音乐的原因。
本题给出的信息是正确的。文章最后一句话指出：" It's the speed of the beat thatcounts.”这里count意思是“重要”，所以我们很容易得出结论，音乐节拍的速度是一个重要的衡量标准。

第10题：
Life gets noisier every day and very few people can free from noise of some sort or another.It doesn′t matter where you live--in the middle of a modem city,or a faraway village--the chances that you will be disturbed by jet aero planes,transistor radios,oil powered engines,etc.,are almost everywhere.We seem to be getting used to noise,too.Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.
Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings.However,some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud,and this can do harm to their eardrums（耳鼓）.The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
One recent report about noise and concentration（专心）suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration,what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise.It goes on to say that a background noise,which doesn′t change too much（music,for example）may even help people to concentrate.
"Background music"in the passage means
