They are excellent places for sightseeing and learning about China. Sanxingdui Museum The museum is on the path less beaten by tourists, but it makes one of the top museums for the 3,400-year-old artworks. If you’re an ancient history fan, this place will attract you. If you love art, its style will surprise you a lot. The Palace Museum The museum is one of the largest old buildings kept in the country with a history of 600 years old. Built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty between 1406 and 1420, it was the home of 24 rulers and their courts. It is one of the finest buildings in China and a good place to study Chinese history. The Shanghai Museum The big modern museum is popular with foreign tourists. It is probably the most modern museum with the focus on creative art displays about the history of the whole area. Located in People’s Square, the museum is most famous for its huge collection of china.

B A talented teen painter in Waterbury is helping her very sick father with her love of art. The 15-year-old girl from Waterbury could become a well-known artist one day. For now, though, part of her love for painting is the chance to help her dad, who’s ill. “It’s kind of like an ache—a heartbreak,” she said. “You never want to see one of your loved ones get hurt.” Her father is suffering from type-one diabetes(糖尿病) and is having trouble affording his mounting medical bills. “I’m suffering from heart disease, and blindness from my diabetes,” her father said. Angie has decided to put her talent as an artist to good use. On Saturday, Sept. 23 from noon to 4 p. m., she’s hosting her own one-day art exhibition to sell her paintings and raise money mainly for her father’s medical bills. “Angie’s Art Exhibition” will be at the North End Recreation Centre, located at 262 North Main Street in Waterbury. She’s also using it to help the Fairfield Animal Shelter. Angie loves animals—you see that on many of her paintings. This isn’t the first time Angie has put her paintbrush to good use helping others. Her mother tells News 8 that Angie has also used her work to help her community: a local family who lost their father, and children who needed school supplies. “She has an angelic heart. If there were more people like her in the world, there wouldn’t be so much chaos and hate. I just look up to her and say ‘I’m very proud of you,’” her father said. “My dad’s a great person. Though he goes through this, he still loves me and supports me in any way he can. It makes me feel important,” she said. 4. What is the main reason why Angie is hosting her own art exhibition? A. To help her community. B. To become a well-known artist. C. To raise money to treat her father. D. To support the Fairfield Animal Shelter. 5. What does the underlined word “chaos” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Perfection. B. Disappearance. C. Permission. D. Disorder. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Angie? A. Independent and proud. B. Humorous and kind. C. Artistic and caring. D. Knowledgeable and helpful. 7. What does the story mainly tell us? A. It’s never too late to learn. B. Study first and play afterwards. C. The company of parents is important to children’s development. D. Determination and creativity can be powerful tools to help those in need. C Is there a friend of yours who always sings out of tune (曲调) but never realizes it? Don’t be so hard on them — they may have amusia (失音症) — the inability to tell the difference in tunes. Apart from singing out of tune, people with amusia may also find it hard to recognize music they’ve heard before without the help of song lyrics. Besides, people who suffer from amusia can have difficulty in recognizing melodies and a total inability to tell between different musical sounds, according to Live Science. However, people with amusia can recognize common environmental sounds as well as the high and low sounds in human voices, meaning that this inability can be specially related to music. In many cases, people who have amusia are born with it, as 46 percent of these individuals’ family members were found to have similar conditions, according to a 2017 study. Brain imaging shows that their brains receive and respond to music pitch (音高) information, but it is not reaching conscious awareness, meaning that the mind can’t understand the information. Scientists at the University of Otago in New Zealand also think that amusia is related to people’s special processing skills. They invited people with amusia, musicians and students from non-musical backgrounds to perform a task related to spacial (空间的) imagination. They were asked to decide whether pairs of images are the same object moving around or mirror images. The result showed that the amusia group made more mistakes than the other two groups. Amusia might be related to the way brain stores information about the high and low sounds in songs, according to the study. Although those who aren’t confident about their singing skills often say they’re “tune-deaf”, people with amusia only make up about 1.5 percent of the population, as shown in the study. “Like dyslexics (诵读困难者) can learn how to read, those with amusia should be able to better their ability to recognize tunes if they start early enough,” Isabelle Peretz, a professor of psychology from the University of Montreal in Canada, told Live Science. 8. According to the article, what is the main difficulty faced by people with amusia? A. Recognizing tunes. B. Identifying human voices. C. Understanding song lyrics. D. Recognizing common environmental sounds. 9. What did the 2017 study tell us about amusia? A. It is a result of brain damage. B. It is very popular among old people. C. Those who are tune-deaf often suffer from amusia. D. Many individuals with amusia are born with it. 10. According to Peretz, how can people with amusia improve their musical ability? A. Start to explore and learn music early. B. Sing frequently with friends. C. Learn how to read earlier in life. D. Go for medical treatment. 11. What is the main idea of the article? A. The effects of music on brain function. B. The symptoms and causes of amusia. C. Ways for individuals with amusia to learn to sing. D. The impact of environmental sound on humans. 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） How to Show Respect Whether you’re talking to your best friend or a stranger, respecting them shows that you’re kind and considerate. ____12____. ●Listen to others.

For now, though, part of her love for painting is the chance to help her dad, who’s ill. “It’s kind of like an ache—a heartbreak,” she said. “You never want to see one of your loved ones get hurt.” Her father is suffering from type-one diabetes(糖尿病) and is having trouble affording his mounting medical bills. “I’m suffering from heart disease, and blindness from my diabetes,” her father said. Angie has decided to put her talent as an artist to good use. On Saturday, Sept. 23 from noon to 4 p. m., she’s hosting her own one-day art exhibition to sell her paintings and raise money mainly for her father’s medical bills. “Angie’s Art Exhibition” will be at the North End Recreation Centre, located at 262 North Main Street in Waterbury. She’s also using it to help the Fairfield Animal Shelter. Angie loves animals—you see that on many of her paintings. This isn’t the first time Angie has put her paintbrush to good use helping others. Her mother tells News 8 that Angie has also used her work to help her community: a local family who lost their father, and children who needed school supplies. “She has an angelic heart. If there were more people like her in the world, there wouldn’t be so much chaos and hate. I just look up to her and say ‘I’m very proud of you,’” her father said. “My dad’s a great person. Though he goes through this, he still loves me and supports me in any way he can. It makes me feel important,” she said. 4. What is the main reason why Angie is hosting her own art exhibition? A. To help her community. B. To become a well-known artist. C. To raise money to treat her father. D. To support the Fairfield Animal Shelter. 5. What does the underlined word “chaos” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Perfection. B. Disappearance. C. Permission. D. Disorder. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Angie? A. Independent and proud. B. Humorous and kind. C. Artistic and caring. D. Knowledgeable and helpful. 7. What does the story mainly tell us? A. It’s never too late to learn. B. Study first and play afterwards. C. The company of parents is important to children’s development. D. Determination and creativity can be powerful tools to help those in need. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Angie为了帮助自己的父亲和社区的人们，用自己的画做积极筹集善款的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“On Saturday, Sept. 23 from noon to 4 p. m., she’s hosting her own one-day art exhibition to sell her paintings and raise money mainly for her father’s medical bills.(9月23日(周六)中午到下午4点，她将举办自己的为期一天的艺术展，出售自己的画作，主要为她父亲的医药费筹集资金。)”可知，Angie举办自己的艺术展的主要原因是筹集资金给父亲支付医药费，来治疗生病的父亲。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“She has an angelic heart.(她有一颗天使般的心。)”说明她有一颗天使般的心，很善良并且乐于助人，从而推知划线词句“If there were more people like her in the world, there wouldn’t be so much chaos and hate.(如果世界上有更多像她这样的人，就不会有这么多的chaos和仇恨。)”其中划线词应为“混乱”的意思，与D项同义。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A talented teen painter in Waterbury is helping her very sick father with her love of art. The 15-year-old girl from Waterbury could become a well-known artist one day.(沃特伯里一位才华横溢的少女画家用她对艺术的热爱帮助她病重的父亲。这个来自沃特伯里的15岁女孩有一天会成为一名著名的艺术家。)”和第五段中“She has an angelic heart. If there were more people like her in the world, there wouldn’t be so much chaos and hate.(她有一颗天使般的心。如果世界上有更多像她这样的人，就不会有这么多的混乱和仇恨。)”可知，Angie是有艺术天赋并关爱他人的。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“This isn’t the first time Angie has put her paintbrush to good use helping others. Her mother tells News 8 that Angie has also used her work to help her community: a local family who lost their father, and children who needed school supplies.(这不是安吉第一次用她的画笔来帮助别人了。她的母亲告诉News 8，安吉还用她的工作来帮助她的社区：一个失去父亲的当地家庭，以及需要学习用品的孩子。)”可知，这个故事主要告诉我们，决心和创造力是帮助那些需要帮助的人的有力工具。故选D项。 C Is there a friend of yours who always sings out of tune (曲调) but never realizes it? Don’t be so hard on them — they may have amusia (失音症) — the inability to tell the difference in tunes. Apart from singing out of tune, people with amusia may also find it hard to recognize music they’ve heard before without the help of song lyrics. Besides, people who suffer from amusia can have difficulty in recognizing melodies and a total inability to tell between different musical sounds, according to Live Science. However, people with amusia can recognize common environmental sounds as well as the high and low sounds in human voices, meaning that this inability can be specially related to music. In many cases, people who have amusia are born with it, as 46 percent of these individuals’ family members were found to have similar conditions, according to a 2017 study. Brain imaging shows that their brains receive and respond to music pitch (音高) information, but it is not reaching conscious awareness, meaning that the mind can’t understand the information. Scientists at the University of Otago in New Zealand also think that amusia is related to people’s special processing skills. They invited people with amusia, musicians and students from non-musical backgrounds to perform a task related to spacial (空间的) imagination. They were asked to decide whether pairs of images are the same object moving around or mirror images. The result showed that the amusia group made more mistakes than the other two groups. Amusia might be related to the way brain stores information about the high and low sounds in songs, according to the study. Although those who aren’t confident about their singing skills often say they’re “tune-deaf”, people with amusia only make up about 1.5 percent of the population, as shown in the study. “Like dyslexics (诵读困难者) can learn how to read, those with amusia should be able to better their ability to recognize tunes if they start early enough,” Isabelle Peretz, a professor of psychology from the University of Montreal in Canada, told Live Science. 8. According to the article, what is the main difficulty faced by people with amusia? A. Recognizing tunes. B. Identifying human voices. C. Understanding song lyrics. D. Recognizing common environmental sounds. 9. What did the 2017 study tell us about amusia? A. It is a result of brain damage. B. It is very popular among old people. C. Those who are tune-deaf often suffer from amusia. D. Many individuals with amusia are born with it. 10. According to Peretz, how can people with amusia improve their musical ability? A. Start to explore and learn music early. B. Sing frequently with friends. C. Learn how to read earlier in life. D. Go for medical treatment. 11. What is the main idea of the article? A. The effects of music on brain function. B The symptoms and causes of amusia. C. Ways for individuals with amusia to learn to sing. D. The impact of environmental sound on humans. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了患有失音症的人的症状，病因以及其应对方式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Don’t be so hard on them—they may have amusia(失音症)—the inability to tell the difference in tunes.(不要对他们太苛刻——他们可能有失音症——无法分辨不同的曲调。)”和第二段中“Apart from singing out of tune, people with amusia may also find it hard to recognize music they’ve heard before without the help of song lyrics.(除了唱歌走调之外，失音症患者可能还会发现，如果没有歌词的帮助，他们很难识别以前听过的音乐。)”可知，失音症患者面临的主要困难是识别音调。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In many cases, people who have amusia are born with it, as 46 percent of these individuals’ family members were found to have similar conditions, according to a 2017 study.(根据2017年的一项研究，在许多情况下，患有失音症的人天生就患有这种疾病，因为这些人的家庭成员中有46%被发现患有类似的疾病。)”可知，2017年的研究告诉了我们，许多患有失音症的人是天生的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Like dyslexics(诵读困难者) can learn how to read, those with amusia should be able to better their ability to recognize tunes if they start early enough,’ Isabelle Peretz, a professor of psychology from the University of Montreal in Canada, told Live Science.(加拿大蒙特利尔大学的心理学教授Isabelle Peretz在接受《生活科学》杂志采访时表示：‘就像诵读困难症患者可以学习如何阅读一样，失音症患者如果开始得足够早，应该能够提高他们识别曲调的能力。’)”可知，根据Peretz的说法，失音症患者应该通过尽早开始探索和学习音乐，来提高他们的音乐能力。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段中“Apart from singing out of tune, people with amusia may also find it hard to recognize music they’ve heard before without the help of song lyrics. Besides, people who suffer from amusia can have difficulty in recognizing melodies and a total inability to tell between different musical sounds, according to Live Science.(除了唱歌走调之外，失音症患者可能还会发现，如果没有歌词的帮助，他们很难识别以前听过的音乐。此外，据《生活科学》报道，患有失音症的人可能难以识别旋律，完全无法分辨不同的音乐声音。)”和第三段中“In many cases, people who have amusia are born with it, as 46 percent of these individuals’ family members were found to have similar conditions, according to a 2017 study.(根据2017年的一项研究，在许多情况下，患有失音症的人天生就患有这种疾病，因为这些人的家庭成员中有46%被发现患有类似的疾病。)”可知，本篇文章主要讲述了失音症的症状和原因，B项符合题意。故选B项。 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） How to Show Respect Whether you’re talking to your best friend or a stranger, respecting them shows that you’re kind and considerate. ____12____. ●Listen to others.
