限时规范练(十)　UNIT 4　Stage and screen (限时30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Jeremy Pound recommends compositions inspired by the beauty of the British countryside. Frederick Delius：On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring A bird，cuckoo，in Bradford born Delius's short work for orchestra.In this instance，the call of the bird is heard in one wind instrument and later another，while a soft，gentle tune in the strings promises sunny days ahead. Arnold Bax：November Woods Bax's 1917 symphonic poem for orchestra has，as the title suggests，a wonderfully autumnal feel.A storm gathers in the first half but eventually the music switches to a calmer mood.Few works display the British weather so delicately. Gustav Holst：Egdon Heath Though the title of Holst's 1927 orchestral work comes from a fictional location described by Thomas Hardy，the composer was initially inspired to write it by long walks in the south of England.The musical landscape here is rough and sometimes predictive. Edward Elgar：Cello Concerto Is an ageing Elgar looking back over recent global and personal ups and downs in this grand but sorrowful 1919 work，or expressing the beauty of the British countryside？A bit of both，one feels—he associated a passage from it with the Malvern Hills. 1.Which of the following is the first inspiration of Holst's 1927 composition? A.The call of a bird. B.A storm in the autumn of England. C.The long walks in southern England. D.A famous novel by Thomas Hardy. 2.What do we know about Cello Concerto? A.It is one of Elgar's early works. B.It involves Elgar's personal experiences. C.It is developed in a joyful tone. D.It focuses on the beauty of Malvern Hills. 3.What do the four compositions have in common? A.They are composed in spring. B.They are musical works of the 1910's. C.They are conducted by Jeremy Pound. D.They are inspired by the British countryside. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四首灵感来自英国乡村之美的音乐作品。 1.C　[解析]细节理解题。根据“Gustav Holst：Egdon Heath”部分的“Though the title ... the composer was initially inspired to write it by long walks in the south of England.”可知，英格兰南部的长途步行是霍尔斯特1927年作品的最初灵感来源。故选C。 2.B　[解析]细节理解题。根据“Edward Elgar：cello concerto”部分的“Is an ageing Elgar looking back over recent global and personal ups and downs in this grand but sorrowful 1919 work，or expressing the beauty of the British countryside？”可知，大提琴协奏曲涉及埃尔加的个人经历。故选B。 3.D　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段可知，这四首作品的共同之处是都受到英国乡村的启发。故选D。 B (2024·江苏连云港外国语学校月考)Laurie Horam never thought of himself as musical.At home，his dad never listened to music，while one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tone deaf.But last month he started to play the harmonica(口琴)on the streets of Bradford.People clapped，danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank.Horam caught himself thinking，“How，at the age of 79，do I come to be playing music to people on the streets？” The question preoccupied him，because，some years ago at a family gathering，Gavin，his eldest son，said，“You know what，Dad？It can't be coincidental.We must have got our musical abilities from you.” Horam has three sons and they cover a range of instruments.He was surprised. “There can't be music in me，because I can't play！”he said. Eight years ago，Horam，a retired civil servant，was on his way back from a trip with his family.Gavin stopped at a music shop.He walked out and said：“Here you are.I bought this for you，Dad.It's a harmonica.I'll try to show you how to play a bit.” They went to a session at their local pub.Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica，trying to make a sound that no one would hear.After six months，he was invited into the group.He discovered a talent for improvisation(即兴表演)，responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid.“I don't play by ear.I play by heart.” Actually，Horam says：“My harmonica plays me—how I feel，what I am，what I've been.” Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel “part of something much bigger” than himself.“At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking，mine is expanding，” he says.“Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.” 4.Why did Horam play the harmonica on the streets of Bradford? A.To recall the good old days. B.To beg food from passers­by. C.To live his childhood dream. D.To collect money for charity. 5.What is Gavin's attitude to his father's musical ability? A.Positive. B.Disapproving. C.Doubtful. D.Unclear. 6.What does playing the harmonica allow Horam to do? A.Enjoy the quiet. B.Listen to his heart. C.Express himself. D.Sharpen his hearing. 7.What does music bring to Horam? A.A lost soul. B.A comfortable life. C.A broader circle of life. D.A new perception of family. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。从小没有音乐天赋的Laurie Horam被自己的大儿子教会了口琴，这丰富了他的生活，扩大了他的人生轨迹。 4.D　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“People clapped，danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank.(人们鼓掌、跳舞，并把硬币扔进他为当地食品银行捐款的箱子里。)”可知，Laurie Horam在大街上吹口琴是为了给当地的食品银行募捐，故选D。 5.A　[解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的“You know what，Dad？It can't be coincidental. We must have got our musical abilities from you.(你知道吗，爸爸？这不可能是巧合。我们一定是从你那里得到了音乐才能。)”可知，Gavin认为自己一定遗传了父亲的音乐能力。由此推知，他对父亲的音乐能力是肯定的，故选A。 6.C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第四段中的“My harmonica plays me—how I feel，what I am，what I've been.(我的口琴演奏着我的感觉，我现在是什么样的，我曾经是什么样的。)”可知，Horam用音乐来表达自己，故选C。 7.C　[解析]细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“‘At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking，mine is expanding，’ he says.‘Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.’(‘在生命周期可能正在缩小的时候，我的生命周期正在扩大，’他说。‘也许我们永远不知道自己是谁，或者我们能做什么。’)”可知，音乐让Horam在自己生命的最后阶段发现了更新的、更广阔的意义，故选C。 Ⅱ.七选五阅读 Have you ever had such an experience？Go shopping and buy more than you need when you feel upset.1. According to a study by University of Michigan researchers，shopping to relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were 3 times less sad compared to those who only went window­shopping. More than half of the 1，000 consumers interviewed by Credit Karma said they had shopped to deal with feelings of stress or anxiety.2. In fact，shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered.Shopping to relieve stress is also jokingly called “retail therapy”(购物疗法) as a form of regulating stress.3. And that feeling following those purchases was long­lasting. However，the side effect of retail therapy，for many，can be relatively harmless at first but in the long term could possibly use up finances and cause conflicts，thus adding a significant amount of stress to a person's life. Preparing a list before shopping is the best way to avoid the side affect of retail therapy. Whether you're purchasing presents or buying groceries，having the items you need written down will make you quite clear and sensible while you're shopping.4. That way you'll be more likely to commit to it.You can buy a cup of coffee while shopping or plan a fun activity when you return home. 5.

A.Reward yourself for sticking to your list. B.Why do people tend to shop to reduce stress? C.Does overspending really make you feel happier? D.Think about what you struggle with most financially. E.Give up the need to keep up with your neighbors and friends. F.The study also found 82% had a positive feeling about their purchases. G.23% of them said they had used up their credit cards in the past year. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就人们如何避免冲动消费提出了一些建议。 1.C　[解析]根据上文“Have you ever had such an experience？Go shopping and buy more than you need when you feel upset.”和下段可推知，C项“过度消费真的会让你更快乐吗？”符合语境，下段是对该问题的回答。故选C。 2.G　[解析]根据上文“More than half of the 1，000 consumers interviewed by Credit Karma said they had shopped to deal with feelings of stress or anxiety.”可知，上文提到了一项调查，空处为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明调查结果。G项“23%的人说他们在过去的一年里刷爆了信用卡。”符合语境，故选G。 3.F　[解析]根据上文“In fact，shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a healthier life ...regulating stress.”以及后文“And that feeling following those purchases was long­lasting.”可知，后文提到了购物后的感觉。由此推知，空处应说明这种感觉具体是什么。故F项“这项研究还发现，82%的人对他们的购物有积极的感觉。”符合语境，故选F。 4.A　[解析]根据后文“That way you'll be more likely to commit to it.You can buy a cup of coffee while shopping or plan a fun activity when you return home.”可知，人们可以通过奖励自己来坚持完成任务。A项“奖励自己坚持完成任务。”符合语境，故选A。 5.E　[解析]根据后文“Everyone's financial situation is different.Comparison usually leads to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.Appreciate what you currently have by practicing gratitude.”可知，本段的主旨是感激现在所拥有的，即放弃与他人比较。E项“放弃赶上邻居和朋友的需要。”符合语境，故选E。 Ⅲ.语法填空 Since the pre­Qin period，Chengdu 1.
