Text 2 蜜蜂的减少
M: There don’t seem to be as many bees (蜜蜂) around these days. Is that a good thing

Text 3 四季的形成
W: How are the seasons formed

W: Looks like we aren’t on the bright side now. (3)
Text 4 宇航员的太空生活
M: Do astronauts ever stay in space for a long time
W: Yes, Alex. Some stay on the International Space Station for months. They do experiments and learn how to live in space.
M: Wow, months Just imagine being in such a small space for such a long time. (4)
Text 5 帮送请柬

Text 7 天赋与努力哪个更重要 (第8题为推断题)
W: Some students are born with talent while others have to put in a lot of effort to achieve something. Which do you think is more important for success (9)
M: I’ve seen some of my students with less talent achieve more. Talent only gets you so far. (9)
W: Yes, talent just gives you a head start, but life is a marathon, and those who hold on until the very end are the winners.
M: You know as well as I do. The students who do the best are usually the ones who study the hardest. (9)
W: Yes, I’ve known a few kids who take their talents for granted and haven’t really pushed themselves, and they ended up falling behind. Turn talents into their advantages, not into excuses. (10)
M: Yes. Think about athletes. Behind the gold medal, there must be sweat and tears.
Text 8 餐厅团队分工与协作 (第11题为推断题)
M: At the meeting this morning, I thought we really clicked together as a team. (12) The chefs, the waiters, and the managers… We were all on the same page.
W: I noticed that too. We always talk to each other while working, so no one misses any details.
M: I think our daily check-ins help as well. We all know what is going on. It helps avoid confusion.
W: Besides, everyone knows their role. Here, each person has a specific task – one person cuts up vegetables, another cooks, and another places the dishes. If someone doesn’t do their part, everything falls apart. This matters greatly. (12)
M: That’s right. We’re like parts of a machine. If we all tried to do the same thing, it would be a mess.
W: Sure, it works no matter what job you have. Every piece of the puzzle has to fit for the whole picture to work.
M: Absolutely. And we are about to open for business. Please go and make the final confirmation again. We can’t let our customers down. I have to get ready, too. Someone from the head office would visit today. (13)
Text 9 自然对人类的启示 (第14题为总结题)
W: Professor Thompson, (15) you have spent a lifetime studying nature. What do you think are the important things nature can tell us (15)
M: Well, one thing is patience. Nature takes its time – plants don’t grow overnight. People can learn to be patient and consistent, even when progress seems slow. (15)
W: That’s very interesting. What else
M: Balance. In a forest, every living thing has a role to play, and they all work together to keep the ecosystem healthy. Humans could benefit from respecting the balance of the natural world.
W: So, we should take our time and work together like nature does
M: Exactly. After all, we are part of nature and nature shows us that rushing can be harmful. For example, over-farming can damage the soil, but if we give the land time to recover, it stays good for longer.
W: That makes sense.
M: From patience and balance to respecting the environment, nature is a great teacher. If we observe it closely, we can improve how we live.
W: Instead of trying to control nature, we should work in harmony with it. Not to bother is the best protection. (16)
M: Exactly.
Text 10 蘑菇咖啡
Mushroom coffee is a new and unique kind of coffee that combines regular coffee beans with mushroom powder (粉末). (17) (18) (19) (20) This drink has gained popularity recently, as more people are looking for more choices of coffee. (18) It offers a different experience from regular coffee, with many people saying it provides energy without the usual nervous feeling that regular coffee sometimes causes. Some say it can help with focus and even have a calming effect on the mind. These features make it attractive to people seeking a balanced drink. (18) As more people explore healthy choices, mushroom coffee is becoming easier to find, both in shops and online. (18) (20) Its growing popularity suggests that people are open to trying new ways to enjoy their morning coffee, especially if it means feeling less anxious or nervous. The mushrooms used in this drink are carefully dried before being mixed with the coffee beans. (19) This process ensures that the mushrooms mix well, creating a drink with a softer taste. (20) While it’s still not as common as regular coffee, mushroom coffee is catching the attention of those who want a different, possibly healthier start to their day.

Passage A DCB
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了RSPB招募访客参与志愿者的事项。
【答案与解析】
1．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“The RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) manages an extensive network of nature reserves, providing essential habitats for a wide variety of bird species. As nature faces increasing challenges and wildlife habitats become scarcer, it is more important than ever to encourage people to engage with these vital spaces. (英国皇家鸟类保护协会（RSPB）管理着一个庞大的自然保护区网络，为各种各样的鸟类提供了重要的栖息地。随着大自然面临的挑战日益增多，野生动物的栖息地变得越来越稀少，鼓励人们与这些至关重要的自然空间互动，比以往任何时候都更加重要。)”可知，皇家鸟类保护协会（RSPB）的访客参与计划的目标是促进公众参与保护自然。故选D。
2．细节理解题。由文章What You’ll Do & Skills Needed部分中“Supporting events to ensure they run smoothly and successfully. (协助组织活动，确保活动顺利且成功地进行。)”可知，志愿者在这个项目中需要做的事情包括协助活动以确保其顺利有效地进行。故选C。
3．细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“To support your involvement, we cover up to 50% of your travel expenses for the first 100 and 20% for any additional costs, ensuring you won’t be left out of pocket. (为了支持您的参与，我们承担您前100英镑旅行费用的最高50%，以及超出部分费用的20%，确保您不会因为参与活动而自掏腰包。)”可知，120英镑的旅行费用中，前100英镑的50%即50英镑可以得到报销，额外的20英镑的20%即4英镑可以得到报销，总共可以报销54英镑。故选B。
Passage B BCDC
【导语】文章通过作者的亲身经历，探讨了现代生活中电子邮件对个人工作和休息时间的影响，以及作者如何通过改变习惯来提高生活质量和工作效率。
文章的主题集中在现代工作文化中电子邮件对个人生活的影响，以及如何通过改变习惯来提高生活质量和工作效率。作者通过个人经历强调了设定工作与休息界限的重要性，并提倡通过减少对即时通讯工具的依赖来提高工作质量和个人福祉。文章传达了一个核心信息：在快节奏的现代生活中，个人需要主动采取措施来保护自己的时间和精力，以实现更健康、更平衡的生活方式。
【答案与解析】
24. 题目类型：细节理解题
选项分析：依据：文章中提到，“…that habit of checking would come with me, making my breaks an extension of the workday.” 这表明检查邮件的习惯使作者的休息时间变得不那么放松。
25. 题目类型：推理判断
依据：文章中提到，“…I convinced myself I was seen as reliable by my paymasters…” 这表明作者希望通过快速回复邮件来保持职业形象。
26. 题目类型：推理判断题
选项分析：依据：文章中提到，“…I was busy, producing ‘word salad’ onto the internet.” 这表明作者认为自己的工作缺乏有意义的内容。
27. 题目类型：推理判断题
选项分析：依据：文章中提到，“…I’ve realised that a lack of structure needn’t stop me setting boundaries for myself.” 这表明作者通过设定界限来提高工作效率。
Passage C CBBC
【导语】本文属于学术研究与科技新闻报道的结合，以说明文的形式介绍了关于养老院中机器人应用的研究成果及其对护理行业的的影响。
【答案与解析】
28.细节理解题。根据第二自然段的研究背景可以看出。原文提到日本是“超老龄化社会”（super-aging society），其人口结构（老年人口比例高、适龄劳动力减少）是其他国家未来的缩影（“what the future could entail elsewhere”）。研究选择日本的核心原因是其老龄化趋势具有全球代表性，而非单纯因为其鼓励养老产业（A）,机器人护理有坚实的基础（B）和机器人技术先进（D）。
29.推理判断题。根据第三段Monitoring and communication robots,which include technologies such as computer vision and bed sensors that can record and examine patient data such as movement and share it with care providers.通过传感器和计算机视觉实时追踪患者活动及健康数据（如移动情况），并将信息反馈给护理人员，帮助优化护理决策。A选项“提供全天候聊天服务”未提及。 C选项“提供具体治疗方案”超出机器人功能范围（仅监测数据，不涉及治疗）。D选项“自由移动医疗设备”混淆了移动机器人（帮助患者活动）与设备搬运功能。
30.推理判断题。根据第四段，原文指出，机器人承担了高强度体力任务（如搬运患者），减少了护理人员的身体劳损（如膝背疼痛），从而降低离职率。A选项“解决低薪问题”未提及（机器人未改变薪资）；C选项“治疗职业伤害”错误（机器人是预防伤害，而非治疗）；D选项“转移工作重心至技术”曲解原文（员工转向需“人际互动”的任务，而非技术操作）。
31. 主旨大意题。全文核心结论是机器人应用与员工保留率提升、护理质量改善的直接关联（第一段中的研究结论的发现robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention, improved productivity and a higher quality of care也是文章的主旨呈现但是要基于文章的理解才能更好地理解研究结论，锁定选项关键词）。
Passage D ABAD
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了《人工智能道德》这本书中的节选内容，探讨了人工智能对我们生活的改变以及引发的道德困境，重点阐述了人工智能推荐系统对用户身份的影响，呼吁人们在人工智能时代保持独立思考。
【答案与解析】
32．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“AI Morality (Oxford University Press, 2024), edited by British philosopher David Edmonds, is a collection of essays exploring how AI will completely change our lives and the moral dilemmas it will set off, painting a picture of the reasons to be cheerful and to worry(英国哲学家大卫 埃德蒙兹编辑的《人工智能道德》（牛津大学出版社，2024年）是一本论文集，探讨了人工智能将如何彻底改变我们的生活以及它将引发的道德困境，描绘了我们应该感到高兴和担忧的原因)”可知，这本论文集关注的是人工智能带来的潜在好处和风险。故选A项。
33．词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“By recommending products and other contents, you become more likely to consume, think, and act in the way the AI system initially considered suitable for you, gradually influencing you so much that you develop into who it took you to originally be(通过推荐产品和其他内容，你更有可能按照人工智能系统最初认为适合你的方式去消费、思考和行动，逐渐对你产生很大影响，以至于你变成了它最初认为你应该成为的样子)”可知，不断依赖人工智能推荐系统会让你逐渐变成它所认为的样子，而不是自己主动去选择和发展，这意味着你的身份会受到限制，逐渐“弱化”。所以“calcify”在这里的意思是“弱化”，与weaken含义接近，故选B项。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“This is, however, not a necessary feature of recommendation systems. In theory, they could be designed to broaden the user’s horizon, instead of maximizing involvement by showing customers what they already like(然而，这并不是推荐系统的必要特征。从理论上讲，它们可以被设计成拓宽用户的视野，而不是通过向客户展示他们已经喜欢的东西来最大化参与度)”可知，推荐系统理论上的设计目的是拓宽用户的视野，故选A项。
35．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“An AI might state a lot of facts about you, but it is your job to find out what they mean to you and how you let them define you. The same holds for actions. Your actions are not just a way of seeking well-being. Through your actions, you choose what kind of person you are(人工智能可能会陈述很多关于你的事实，但弄清楚这些事实对你意味着什么以及你如何让它们定义你是你的工作。行动也是如此。你的行动不仅仅是一种追求幸福的方式。通过你的行动，你选择了你想成为什么样的人)”可知，作者强调在人工智能时代，人们要自己去思考人工智能所提供的信息的意义，以及自己要成为什么样的人，而不是完全依赖人工智能。可推理出作者写这篇文章的目的是倡导在人工智能时代进行独立思考，故选D项。
七选五 BDAEF
【导语】本文是说明文,主题语境是“人与自我”。文章主要介绍了什么是音乐压力、音乐压力产生的原因以及人们应该如何应对音乐压力。语篇引导考生正确认识和应对生活中的问题,关注身心健康。
【答案解析】
36.B 空前提到音乐的重要性,指出音乐可以让人放松,表达情感。空后提到了解音乐压力是如何产生的,以及是什么导致的,可以帮助人们更好地应对音乐压力。由此可推知空处应与空前内容构成转折,且能引出空后内容。B项“然而,它也可能会导致较高的压力水平”符合语境。
37.D 空前提到音乐压力是指由于听音乐或演奏音乐而产生的一种紧张或不安感,它可能以不同的方式出现,从身体反应到精神障碍。音乐压力可能是由多种因素导致的。第三、四段具体说明了可能导致音乐压力产生的因素及相应的反应。由此可推知,空处应起到承上启下的作用,且涉及人们对音乐压力的反应。D项“而且它可以产生特定类型的反应”与空前内容构成顺承关系,衔接紧密,且能够对下文内容起到引领作用,符合语境。
38.A 空前提到某些类型的音乐可以唤起情感反应,如怀旧或悲伤。空后接着说道:同样地,某些类似噪声的音乐会产生不和谐的声音,也会使人感到不知所措。尽管这有时是有帮助的,但在某些情况下,这可能很难处理,甚至会增加压力。由此可推知空处应承接前一句,说明这些情感反应会导致的结果,且可能涉及压力水平的增加。A项“这可能导致压力水平的增加”说明了听到某些音乐可能引起的情感反应,与上文衔接紧密。
39.E 空前提到音乐压力也可能来源于聆听或演奏音乐时的心理背景。随后以感到不知所措的人为例。空后提到同样,如果有人通过听音乐来逃避当前的问题,他们可能会因为音乐未能提供预期的效果而产生失望感。由此可推知空处应进一步解释感到不知所措的人听音乐时可能会有怎样的感受。E项“音乐可能给他们一种无法掌控的感觉”解释了这些人可能产生的感觉,符合语境。
40.F结合空后的“Thus”可推知,空处与空后内容应存在因果关系。空后提到防止这种情况发生的最好方法是确保所听或演奏的音乐适合一个人当前的情绪和心态。或者,如果一个人已经感到压力,可能更好的做法是专注于放松练习，或者完全暂停听音乐。由此可知,空处内容应涉及人的心理状态,故F项“一般来说,音乐压力受一个人当时的心理状态影响”符合语境。

第47题 B 根据句中的“we quickly turned it into an opportunity for exploration”可知，他们后面很快把这次迷路看作一个探索的机会，所以可知他们一开始很沮丧。故选B。
第48题 B 根据上文“instead of”前的“we quickly turned it into an opportunity for exploration”可知，他们把这次迷路看作机会，而不是挫折。故选B。
第49题 C 根据上文中的“With only a rough idea of our route for mountains and lakes”可知，他们最初计划去有山和湖的地方，这里指他们到达了最初定好的目的地。故选C
第50题 D 根据“towering mountains”和“on glassy lakes”并结合常识可知,山映照在清澈的湖面上。故选D。

语篇填空
【导语】本文是说明文, 主题语境是“人与社会”。文章介绍了2024年地球大数据报告的内容、重要性以及它在促进可持续发展方面的作用。语篇引导考生关注社会动态,思考大数据技术如何助力解决全球性问题。
【答案与解析】
56. for
考查介词。结构分析:句子主干是 The 2024 Big Earth Data report was released。 setting... global community是两个并列的现在分词短语作定语。set a new standard for sth.是固定用法,表示“为……设立一个新的标准”。故填for。句意:2024年地球大数据报告在第79届联合国大会上发布,为使用先进技术促进可持续发展设立了一个新的标准,并为全球社会提供了关键资源。
57.drafted
考查非谓语动词。结构分析:句子主干The 2024 report______ on7 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and explores their interconnections. 空处所在部分是非谓语动词短语作后置定语,修饰report ;draft“起草,草拟”与report之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词,故填drafted。句意:2024年的报告由来自中国57个研究机构和大学的200多名研究人员共同起草,关注7个联合国可持续发展目标,并通过全球、区域和国家层面的50个创新案例研究探索它们之间的内在联系。
58. focuses

59. studies
考查名词。根据句意可知,此处表示通过全球、区域和国家层面的50个创新案例研究探索它们之间的相互联系。case study“个案研究,专题研究,案例研究”是可数名词短语,根据空前的“50 innovative”可知,此处应用名词复数,故填 studies。
60. which
考查定语从句。从句结构分析:空处引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语，先行词为前面句子中的“the application of Sustainable Development Science Satellite I”,指“可持续发展科学卫星1号的应用”。根据以上分析可知,空处应!填关系代词which。
61. tackling

63. improved

应用文写作
Dear Mike,
I’m thrilled to hear that your school is going to offer a Chinese course, and I’d love to share some suggestions on how to set up the classroom to create a vibrant learning environment.
It is the Chinese elements, like posters of characters and proverbs, that will bring the classroom to life, making it a place full of cultural inspiration. These will not only help students grasp basic phrases but also spark their curiosity about Chinese language and culture.Additionally, I recommend setting up a “Culture Corner” filled with traditional items like Chinese knots, paper-cutting art, and calligraphy brushes. Each of these carries a unique cultural meaning, such as good luck and artistic creativity. Such decorations will create an immersive atmosphere, allowing students to appreciate the rich history behind Chinese customs more deeply.
I truly hope my ideas can inspire you and help create a welcoming and engaging Chinese learning space. Good luck with your new course!
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写：
Early next morning, Ethan and his brothers came to invite me to hang out with them. At first, I hesitated, still upset about the lack of the Internet. But their eager faces were hard to resist, so I reluctantly went along. Ethan led us to the hen house, and we spent a while collecting eggs, with him teaching me the gentle way to handle the hens. Later, we went to the meadow, where we chased colorful butterflies and lay on the soft grass, staring at the clouds. Despite my initial reluctance, I gradually found myself getting into the activities, drawn by their simple joys.
Surprisingly, I never thought of my laptop that week. Each day was filled with new adventures. We helped the farmhands with various tasks like milking cows and mending fences. In the evenings, we sat around a bonfire, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories. The warm company, the fresh air, and the beauty of nature made me realize how much I had been missing in my virtual world. By the time it was time to leave, I was filled with gratitude for this off-grid experience, knowing that real-life connections and the wonders of nature far surpassed the pleasure of the digital world.平度市2025年高考模拟检测（二）

As a freelance (自由职业的) writer, the structure of my workday can often vary wildly. Sometimes, it feels as if I have too much to do – other days, too little. Yet no matter the shape of my 9 to 5, one thing remains constant: emails.
About a year ago, I found my email-checking habit had become more distracting (分心的) than usual. When working on my computer, I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails whenever hitting a mental block. Even worse, during lunch or walks, that habit of checking would come with me, making my breaks an extension of the workday.
The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a marker of my professional image: the more unread emails, the more I felt I was failing. By quickly responding to everyone, I convinced myself I was seen as reliable by my paymasters and therefore worthy of the work I needed to pay my electricity bills, so I could charge my phone, read my emails and carry on the endless cycle.
However, speed doesn’t always mean quality. I was always contactable – but at what cost I took on too much work, not allowing myself space to reflect on the value of my work. The content machine kept running and I was busy producing “word salad” onto the internet. Something needed to change. After a particularly crazy week of nonstop emailing, I deleted the email app.
The difference was immediately noticeable. I began to rest better. Now, my workdays remain unpredictable, but I’ve realised that a lack of structure needn’t stop me setting boundaries (边界) for myself. Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I get back to work. Taking a few hours to respond to messages – instead of just minutes – often makes no difference to the sender and allows me to digest the content properly.
I am still surviving as a freelancer in a fast-paced industry, but now I can spend my time endlessly checking my phone for Instagram stories instead.
24. How did the email-checking habit affect the author
A. It caused him mental disorder.
B. It made his breaks less relaxing.
C. It kept him extremely impatient.
D. It changed the structure of his workday.
25. Why did the author feel the need to respond to emails quickly
A. He wanted to avoid long working hours.
B. He sought high pay to cover electricity bills.
C. He desired to maintain a professional image.
D. He believed multitasking ensured employment.
26. What does the author imply by mentioning “word salad” in paragraph 4
A. He was far from productive.
B. He valued quality over quantity.
C. His work was creative and tasteful.
D. His work lacked meaningful content.
27. What does the author learn after deleting the email app
A. Email senders prefer thoughtful replies.
B. Social media is more important than email.
C. Setting boundaries can improve work efficiency.
D. Freelancers should get used to a fast-paced lifestyle.
C
Nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks. A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention (留住), improved productivity and a higher quality of care. The research has important implications for the workplace and the long-term care industry.
Yong Suk Lee, associate professor of technology, economy and global affairs, was the lead author for the study. “Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future could entail elsewhere – a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” Lee said. “We need to be ready for this new reality.”
In a future where there are more senior citizens requiring care, using robots in a targeted fashion could benefit workers and patients alike, Lee said. The study analyzed three types of robots that are increasingly used in assisted living facilities: Transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms. Mobility robots, which patients use to move around and to bathe. Monitoring and communication robots, which include technologies such as computer vision and bed sensors that can record and examine patient data such as movement and share it with care providers.
“We found that robot adoption aids care workers by reducing quit rates. This is important because employee turnover is a big concern in nursing homes. Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention.” Lee said, “Robots can improve productivity by shifting the tasks performed by care workers to those involving human touch, empathy and flexibility. Ultimately, robots can help workers provide a higher level of patient care.”
“This research provides critical insights into how societies can successfully navigate the challenges of caring for aging populations,” Lee said.
28. Why did Yong Suk Lee focus his research on Japan
A. It encourages the elderly care industry.
B. It has a sound foundation for robot nursing.
C. Its super-aging society well reflects the trend.
D. It owns the most advanced robots in the world.
29. How do the nursing robots improve patient care
A. They offer full-time chat service.
B. They monitor patients’ real-time data.
C. They provide specific treatment plans.
D. They move medical equipment freely.
30. Why does robot adoption reduce workers’ quit rates
A. It solves the issue of low pay.
B. It eases their heavy working burden.
C. It helps to treat their occupational injuries.
D. It switches their focus from human touch to technology.
31. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Japan’s exploration exemplifies the care industry.
B. High quality care for the elderly should be advocated.
C. Nursing robots benefit staff retention and patient care.
D. Robot adoption in nursing requires critical examination.
D
AI Morality (Oxford University Press, 2024), edited by British philosopher David Edmonds, is a collection of essays exploring how AI will completely change our lives and the moral dilemmas it will set off, painting a picture of the reasons to be cheerful and to worry. In this excerpt (节选), Muriel Leuenberger, a postdoctoral researcher in the ethics (道德) of technology and AI at the University of Zurich, focuses on this very modern identity crisis.
An AI that tells you who you are and what you should do is based on the idea that your identity is something you can discover – information you or an AI may access. But this view misses an important point: we also choose who we are.
Constantly relying on AI recommendation systems might calcify your identity. By recommending products and other contents, you become more likely to consume, think, and act in the way the AI system initially considered suitable for you, gradually influencing you so much that you develop into who it took you to originally be.
This is, however, not a necessary feature of recommendation systems. In theory, they could be designed to broaden the user’s horizon, instead of maximizing involvement by showing customers what they already like. In practice, that’s not how they function.
Besides, by giving decisions to AI, you may fail to meet the moral demand to take responsibility for who you are. This concern weighs particularly heavy when making the most substantial decisions. But even in ordinary cases like selecting movies, music, books, or news, it would be good to put recommendation systems aside from time to time, which in turn, calls for research, risk, and self-reflection.
An AI might state a lot of facts about you, but it is your job to find out what they mean to you and how you let them define you. The same holds for actions. Your actions are not just a way of seeking well-being. Through your actions, you choose what kind of person you are.
32. What does the collection of essays center on
A. Potential benefits and risks of AI.
B. Various dominant roles of AI.
C. Recent policies on AI development.
D. Individual estimates of AI’s future.
33. What does the underlined word “calcify” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Admit. B. Weaken.
C. Remember. D. Reject.
34. What is the recommendation system designed for
A. Developing users’ broader vision. B. Prioritizing the most ideal choice.
C. Highlighting existing preferences. D. Attracting consumers’ engagement.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To prove the uniqueness of AI. B. To stress the huge influence of AI.
C. To present the confusion brought by AI. D. To advocate independent thinking in AI era.

Music is an important part of many people’s lives. It can be an enjoyable way to relax or to express emotions. 36 Understanding how music stress works and what can bring it on can help individuals better manage it.
Music stress is a term used to describe a feeling of tension, or unease that can arise from listening to or playing music. This can appear in different ways, ranging from physical reactions to mental disturbances. Music stress can be caused by many factors. 37
For instance, certain types of music can call forth an emotional response, such as nostalgia (怀旧) or sadness. 38 Likewise, certain kinds of noise-like music, which makes disharmonious sounds, can cause people to become overwhelmed (使不知所措). While this can be helpful for some special purposes, in some cases it can be difficult to handle and even add to stress.
In addition to being caused by musical elements, music stress can also result from the psychological context where the music is heard or played. Take those who feel overwhelmed as an example. 39 Similarly, if someone takes listening to music as a way to escape current problems, the music can create a feeling of disappointment due to its failing to provide the desired effect.
40 Thus, the best way to prevent it is to ensure that the music being listened to or played is appropriate for one’s current mood and state of mind. Alternatively, if one is already feeling stressed, it may be better to focus on relaxation exercises or to take a break from music entirely.
A. This can lead to increased stress levels.
B. However, it may also lead to high stress levels.
C. Music stress is caused by a specific type of music.
D. And it can produce very specific types of reactions.
E. Music may give them the feeling that they are not in control.
F. Generally, music stress is determined by one’s mental state at the time.
G. In some ways, music stress is similar to more general experiences of stress.

It all started with the gift. A few months before I began college, my parents surprised me with the one thing every young adult desires: a brand new laptop. That summer, I was glued to the screen, living in a digital world. I spent hours on social media, chatting with friends, and ignoring the real one around me. I was more concerned with the virtual interactions than the actual people and places around me. Being online was more important than anything else.
So, when I heard my dad’s plan for our family vacation that year, I was less than thrilled. “This year,” he announced, “we’re going to try something different. We’re going to a farm.”
A farm wasn’t my ideal vacation, but it was still a break from the routine. I went through the packing up and planning, barely listening to the instructions. My mind was elsewhere, on the Internet, where my conversations never stopped. I was so absorbed in my digital world that the first time I really paid attention to the real world was when we get to our destination – a remote farm.
I stared out the window to see the breathtaking views outside. The air coming through the open windows was warm and carried the fresh smell of the forest. But the view wasn’t what caught my attention. The moment I got off the car, I rushed into the farmhouse. The real shock came when I tried to check my e-mail and found that I had no Internet connection. I was standing there with a long face when I heard the laughter of three children. So, I went up to them and asked, “Is the Internet available here ”
“We have no Wi-Fi here.” a boy, named Ethan, said softly. And then he told me they were sons of the farm owner. I looked at him, too depressed to say anything. My laptop would be completely useless. I would live in the wilderness for a week with no way to connect to the online world. I was close to tears, afraid of the boredom I had to tolerate in the coming days.
