01 Period I Listening and Speaking & Reading and Thinking Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 A [江苏镇江2023高一期中] Every year on June 21st, World Music Day is commemorated in over 120 countries, including its birthplace of France, to honour both amateur and professional musicians. Citizens of a city or country are permitted and encouraged to perform music outside in their neighbourhoods, public areas, and parks on World Music Day. Free concerts are also held, where musicians perform for the joy of it rather than for a fee. In the 1970s, American musician Joel Cohen, who was then working for a French radio station, came up with the idea of having musicians perform on the evening of June 21 to celebrate the start of summer. It was finally accepted by France’s Ministry of Culture in 1982. The day started in France and has since been extended to countries such as Belgium, the United Kingdom and others. It’s the ideal time to learn a new instrument or listen to songs they wouldn’t ordinarily include on their playlist. Every type of musician can celebrate World Music Day with friends, family, and even strangers, whether they are young, elderly, new, or seasoned professionals. The purpose is to promote music. 刷阅读理解 2 It makes no difference how good you are at making music; everyone can do it. This day can be used by even the most tone-deaf folks to sing their hearts out and appreciate the beauty and power of music. Music is not only a great way to express yourself, but it may also be beneficial to your health. A song might bring back a joyful memory or make you feel energised when you listen to it. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界音乐日的时间、起源以及特色等。 刷阅读理解 3 1.Where did the World Music Day begin?( ) A A.In France.

They sing about their life on the streets and dream of a better future. The homeless sing about their childhood, living conditions, and living experiences at the Mokili Na Poche cultural centre. It is a safe space that allows young people and children to wash and eat. “It really makes me happy when I sing,” said 19-year-old Mavakala. He has slept on the streets for years. There are more than 20,000 homeless children in Kinshasa. Other teenagers looked on with happiness as Mavakala turned on the recording equipment at the centre. Mavakala dreams of bigger goals after having the chance to record in a real recording space. He said, “It stimulates me and I tell myself—ah, life belongs to brave persons.” He added that US rapper Lil Wayne and Congolese star Fally Ipupa influenced his music. 刷阅读理解 10 He has been coming to the centre for the past three years, taking part in the music, art, and reading classes it offers throughout the day. Founder Cedrick Tshimbalanga hopes these skills and daily experiences will help the children build a base for their life and their voices. “With music, young people are able to talk about their daily experience—everything they live through daily: happiness and sadness,” said Tshimbalanga, who plans to release （发行） their music soon. The classes are also a chance for young people to make up for lost chances in life. While the Democratic Republic of the Congo has made progress in education, over 7 million children aged between 5 and 17 still do not have schooling, UNICEF found. “Break free from the homeless life, my friend. It’s time to see what the future holds for you,” Mavakala sang during an excitement-filled performance at the centre. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。刚果首都金沙萨市有一个名为Mokili Na Poche文化中心的地方，为无家可归的年轻人提供安全的居所，并为他们提供音乐、艺术和阅读等课程，帮助他们重塑生活，以期创造更加美好的未来。 刷阅读理解 11 1.What do the homeless children do at the cultural centre?( ) B A.Meet some famous musicians.

Language is part of our daily life, no matter where we live in the world. It is the same with music, whether you listen to it on the radio on your drive to work or sit before an orchestra. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture. 1. . ●Both language and music have a writing system. In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meanings in the form of music. 2. . By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago. ●3. . C F B 刷7选5 17 You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation. ●Both share emotions. 4. . Of course you may be able to see it on my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. 5. . I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of lyrics. D G 刷7选5 18 A.Both are expressive. B.Both vary with culture. C.Here are some of their similarities. D.How do you know that I am angry? E.We use language to express our thoughts. F.So just as you read English, you can also read music. G.In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了语言和音乐的相似之处。 刷7选5 19 1.___ C 解析 根据文章标题及上文It is the same with music可知，语言和音乐有相似之处，下文介绍了语言和音乐的一系列共同点。C项（以下是它们的一些相似之处）承上启下，符合语境。 2.___ F 解析 根据设空处前三句可知，英语和音乐都是可以被记录下来并且能读取的。F项（所以正如你读英语一样，你也能读音乐）承接上文。故选F项。 3.___ B 解析 本空为段落主旨句，该空下面的段落的主要内容是音乐和语言都随着文化而变化。段落中的关键词是cultures。故选B项。 4.___ D 解析 根据空后的Of course you may be able to see it on my face, but you will know for sure through my words.Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy.可知，这里是说人们可以通过语言和音乐表达气愤和其他情绪，D项（你怎么知道我生气了？）引出下文，符合语境，空后一句中的it指代D项中的I am angry。故选D项。 刷7选5 20 5.___ G 解析 G项中的sad music及feeling down与空前一句中的happy song及feel happy相对应，符合语境，故选G项。 刷7选5 21 核心词汇 1.play a(n)… role in… 在……中发挥……的作用 2.explore vt.探索；探究 vi.& vt.探险；勘查 熟词生义 note 熟义：n.笔记；记录；便条；注释 生义：n.音符；音调 刷7选5 22 $$
