[课时作业评价] 主题阅读集群训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·四川名校联考)Language is the bridge that connects people everywhere. On April 20, people around the world celebrated the United Nations Chinese Language Day.To mark the occasion, the UN Office at Geneva, Switzerland, organized the first Chinese Language Video Festival.
Participants from 27 countries, including the US, the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, took part in the one-hour special event, sharing their passion for the Chinese language and culture through short videos.Over 340 video submissions (提交) told touching stories about a civilized, modern and youthful China through participants' personal experiences in the country.
Though some people find the language difficult to learn, most find it rewarding.
For M.Yousaf from Pakistan, learning Chinese gave him a better perspective (视角) and insight into the culture. “Learning Chinese is not just learning a language. It's a language of one of the biggest populations in the world,” Yousaf said.“If you know this language, you know the civilization and the mind of the people.”
Of course the language itself is unique, particularly considering it's tonal foundation. “Tones are important because a lot of Chinese syllables sound similar or even the same — the tone changes their meaning,” said Mike Fuksman, an American living in Beijing.
To remember Chinese characters, you can connect them with pictures and make some short stories.Many people find it is important to use imagination when learning Chinese.For example, the Chinese character for “tea” has some lines of grass, the roof of a house and people drinking tea.
Learning any language comes with benefits, particularly for those who are always looking to learn more. Since some languages have “loanwords (外来词)” from Chinese, it may be easier for one to pick up Korean or Japanese, after studying Chinese. “It helped me so much when I started learning Japanese,” said Yerdana.

(2024·唐山模拟)Last week, three days of cold rain had everyone in our house feeling a bit bad-tempered, especially my kid, who couldn't go out to play. Then the music app on my phone recommended a station called “Rainy Day Jazz.” As the soft piano played, my daughter and I hugged closely, feeling comfortable and relaxed. Suddenly, our day was enjoyable. It turned out that Rainy Day Jazz was just the thing we needed.
Life — especially life with young children — can often feel very busy and rushed. One of the great benefits of music is that it offers a safe and dependable place to feel our feelings. When we are afraid, sad, or happy, we can invite music in. Kids can be great at expressing their emotions, but they don't always have the ability to regulate them and move through them. When kids engage with music, a sense of emotional security is increased, allowing them to feel safer to fully experience their feelings.
Music has been a community practice throughout human history. Studies show that in early childhood, playing music in groups can increase cooperation skills and a sense of social belonging. In Pinkalicious and Peterrific, an educational children's TV series, Peter is eager to share his musical experiences with others. Together, Pinkalicious and Peter make up their own happy song to sing and play, which cheers up the whole town.
Music is for everyone. Lots of parents feel like they don't have enough talent for music. Actually, they should let go of their insecurities about what they think music should be. Kids will love singing, dancing, and playing music with you no matter how it sounds. What's the most important is to get them emotionally engaged.
Ready to rock and roll? Here are some ways your family can interact with music. Make music accessible. You can empower your child to use music as an emotional support by giving them access to the tools they need. Talk about music. You can help your child explore the relationship between music and emotions by talking openly about your own relationship with music. Get your bodies moving. Children experience music in their bodies — not just in their minds! Music and movement are partners.
