It's 重庆八中2023-2024学年度(下)期末考试高一年级英语试题 第3页 共10页 表 CS扫描全能王 亿人在用韵扫描A unbelievably great On the Fire Festival, drums beat a quick and regular rhythm that locals dance to in a circle of bodies, men and women, the old and young, holding torches of burning grass above their heads, which stands for the light and getting off negative energies At this nioment, this festival is being held at the beginning of the lunar year. The locals are all so involved in the celebration that they don't pay as much attention to us as they normally will. When they find us getting involved as they are, they dance more vigorously and scream withjoy. Danielle, a friend of mine in the Peace Corps, says, "That we join in the celebration is significant because foreigners here are typically seen as the representatives of other organizations, not as people who are willing to join in the Fire Festival rituals (仪式). But in fact, we are dancing and celebrating as one." Our two-year Peace Corps service will finish up in mid-November. We can think of no better way to say goodbye than by celebrating the Fire Festival with the villagers we've come to know. The festival lets us see a different side of them-and lets them see a different side of us. The neighbors who sell rice are now the women who urge us to run faster and dance harder at the Fire Festival. And rather than view us as low-key volunteers, they see us as the ones who have crazy dance steps with wild :creams 4. Why did the author go to northern Ghana? A. To find a job B. To go traveling C. To study further D. To do voluntary work 25. How do the locals feel when seeing the author and Danielle join in the celebration? B. Indifferent. C. Confused. A.Annoyed. D. Excited. 26. What Is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The benefits of celebrating the Fire Festival. E. The secrets of dancing well in the Fire Festival C. The reasons of the author's joining in the festival D. The experience of helping the neighbors sell rice 27. What can we learn from the text? A. Practice makes perfect B. Where there is a will, there is a way. G When in Rome, do as the Romans do D. The grass is always greener on the other side C A broken heart and a sad ending to a long friendship. That's something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all. it's part of human life. But the experience can be hard to get over. But research shows there are pathwavs through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse 重庆八中2023一2024学年度(下)期末考试高一年级英语试题 第4页 共10页 CS扫描全能王 亿人在用韵扫描Ap the desire to connect with others. Sad music can help heal and plifyou from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of felings of empathy( 同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possbly towards helping others in need of comfort. Another experiment, from thic University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadnes, listening to music that was "beautiful but sad" improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did. These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, "If you're going through hel, keep going." That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It brings hope. 28. What can we learn from Paragraph 3&:4? A. Sad music can make people help others. B Sad music can make sad people feel better d. Sad music can make people believe in themselves D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves. 9. What does the phrase underlined in the last paragraph mean? A. Hearing a swear word used by enemies. b Avoiding a place to go after death C. Getting an extremely pleasant time. D. Having an-unbearable experience 30. How does the author develop this article? A. By presenting research findings B. By giving directions C. By listing authoritative figures D. By comparing examples 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the article? How to Find Pathways through Heartaches B: How We React to a Broken Heart Matters a Iot C. W/hat We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart D Psychologists have defined nostalgia(怀 旧) as self-conscious, socially emotional, bittersweet but mainly positive. t develops out of happy memories mixed with a longing for the past and the close relationships we had back then.

Psychologists writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 2006 found that stirrng nostalgia in experiments strengthened people's social bonds, boosted their positive feelings about themselves, and improved their mood. Simila research has shown that when people feel nostalgia, it can fire their sense of life's meaning lower an existential (存在主义的) reaction to the idea of death, increase spirituality, and raise optimism. Scholars aren't sure exactly why nostalgia works: some have inferred that recalling happy memories strengthens "valued aspects of the self' in situations when we might otherwise fee lonely or unworthy.
