五、任务型阅读。(2025·四川德阳中考)
阅读短文,从短文后A至F六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
You might hear a radio song or someone else singing, and you can’t get it out of your head. This is known as an earworm(耳虫), a song or a tune(曲调) that stays in your head for a long time after you have heard it. 1
A
Don’t worry. There are some useful ways to get that song or tune out of our minds.

2 Elizabeth from a music website says that if you have just got a small part of the song keeping playing in your head, listening to the whole song might help to get that earworm out of your head.
However, Srini, a teacher from a college, says it is not necessary to try too hard to get the earworm out of your head. Because this could make things worse.

3
Another way is to listen to a different song.

4 “It’s nearly impossible to have two songs in your head at the same time,” music expert Kelly J. says. “Because it’s too much for our brains!”
If those things don’t work, Kelly suggests one more way. She says you could chew gum (嚼口香糖). This keeps your mouth busy and may “kill” the earworm.

5 It is because you might end up having an even harder time trying to get the earworm out of your head.
