數(shù)學(xué)和閱讀能力上比沒有上過音樂課程的學(xué)生要好。大學(xué)理事會的另一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，上音樂和藝術(shù)課的學(xué)

生得分更高。學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成功似乎取決于他們是否參加了音樂教育。可知，這兩項研究表明音樂在學(xué)生的

樂課也有助于增強學(xué)生的自豪感和自信心，音樂跨越語言、階級和文化，使來自不同國家的學(xué)生相互聯(lián)系。

【解析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了青少年通過重復(fù)聽相同的流行音樂來發(fā)展他們的音樂品味。當(dāng)青少年

長大后，他們音樂品味會漸漸穩(wěn)固，很可能會停止追隨流行音樂。一項研究通過分析數(shù)據(jù)確定了人們不再

物色新音樂的年齡并分析了人們停止追求流行音樂的原因。

【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細節(jié)

信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。

1.考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的"Asyoumoveoutofyourteensandintoyour20sand30s,yourmusicaltastes
