02 Lesson 2 Apps Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 A [全国新高考Ⅱ2022] We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal. This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures—a perfect match for his age. Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes （戳） the page with his finger. What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid? Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that. 刷阅读理解 2 Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however. I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province. Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star—two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet. 刷阅读理解 3 【语篇导读】文章主要讲述了春节期间，作者给孙子拿了一本儿童读物，孙子却以为这本读物是平板电脑，不停地用手指戳书的故事。这引发了作者对当下多媒体发展的思考。 1.What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2?( ) B A.Provided shelter for me.

Now, a physicist and a flautist （长笛手） have transformed such waveform data of interstellar space into music more fit for a classical concert. The musical work charts （记录） how Voyager 1 left the “bubble” around our sun and entered busy interstellar space. The melody （旋律）, played by a solo flute, begins with smooth, connected notes at a lower register （声区） to illustrate the data from inside our solar system. A gradual increase in loudness follows to indicate the spacecraft crossing the heliopause, or the boundary that leads into interstellar space. Then the melody becomes very high and changes shape, with more jumps to describe the busy interstellar space environment. 刷阅读理解 10 “Understanding that is connected to what Voyager 1 was measuring, I think, adds another dimension （维度） to what people are understanding,” said Domenico Vicinanza, a music composer and physicist, who created the piece. “It is different because the physics is different… something very, very dramatic changed.” Alyssa Schwartz, an award-winning concert flautist, performed the piece from Voyager 1 data together with Vicinanza. But, sometimes, turning data into sound can lead to unreasonable musical tasks for a human to perform. For instance, the Voyager 1 piece has 37 measures （小节）, and there is no place to rest or breathe until Measure 32. “I have learnt that nature doesn’t care about my need to breathe,” joked Schwartz. Schwartz said the music has pushed her technical development with complex cross fingerings and broad, difficult jump patterns she hasn’t encountered anywhere else. “What’s interesting in this kind of music is that the composer that I’m trying to relate is nature,” Schwartz said. “I can’t rely on my knowledge of music theory or music history to try to inform the decision.” 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。一名物理学家和一名长笛演奏家将星际空间的波形数据转化为更适合古典音乐会的音乐，文章主要介绍了这首曲子的特点、人们对这首曲子的看法等。 1.What makes the creation of the new piece of music possible?( ) D A.Musical instruments taken aboard the space shuttle. B.A physicist’s great curiosity about the flute. C.A flautist’s proper understanding of physics. D.Data collected by a NASA spacecraft. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，科学家们研究了旅行者1号发回地球的数十年数据，现在，一名物理学家和一名长笛演奏家已经将这种星际空间的波形数据转化为更适合古典音乐会的音乐。由此可知，美国国家航空航天局航天器收集的数据使这首新音乐得以创作。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 12 2.What does the new piece of music describe?( ) A A.Voyager 1’s journey into deep space. B.The changes in the shape of the solar system. C.A bubble’s gradual formation around the sun. D.The sound of busy interstellar space environment. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的The musical work charts how Voyager 1 left the “bubble” around our sun and entered busy interstellar space.可知，这首新音乐描述了旅行者1号进入深空的旅行。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 13 3.What does the author want to show by mentioning “Measure 32”?( ) B A.The musical work’s overall structure. B.The performance’s challenging nature. C.Alyssa Schwartz’s remarkable musical skills. D.Domenico Vicinanza’s unreasonable demand. 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的But, sometimes, turning data into sound can lead to unreasonable musical tasks for a human to perform. For instance, the Voyager 1 piece has 37 measures, and there is no place to rest or breathe until Measure 32.可知，作者提到第32小节是想展示这首曲子的表演具有挑战性，因为在第32小节之前没有休止或换气的地方。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 14 4.What does Alyssa Schwartz think of the new music piece?( ) D A.It has some room to improve. B.It has educational significance. C.It is hard for her to understand. D.It is a brand-new experience for her. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，施瓦茨说，这种音乐推动了她的技术发展，包括复杂的交叉指法和广泛而困难的跳跃模式，她在其他地方从未遇到过这些。由此可知，她认为这对她来说是一次全新的体验。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 15 长难句分析 句意：自从美国国家航空航天局的旅行者1号成为第一个进入星际空间的人造物体以来，科学家们已经研究了数十年来它发回地球的数据，对宇宙的奥秘有了更深入的了解。 刷阅读理解 16 [江苏常州联盟校2024高一调研] When 29-year-old artist Sophia recalls her mother, Marilyn, she remembers her singing. “She loved karaoke and funny 80s’ . .1. .,” Sophia says. “She sang all the time.” In late 2017, before cancer . .2. .
