[课时作业评价] 主题阅读集群训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·汕尾模拟)From releasing my talented and amazing conservation friends, hundreds of harmless Zebra Sharks, into the Pacific Ocean to racing against the fastest two-legged animal in the world, the ostrich, there was no shortage of extraordinary photography opportunities and plenty of laughs along the way.
In the past, I've focused on the outcomes, but this year I want to focus a little bit on the people who made it all happen. This time of year is not only about celebrating success, but saying thanks to all of those who helped make these episodes possible. When something looks easy, it usually means there are a bunch of talented people behind the scenes making it happen.
Although our shows feature me and my photography, the episodes were produced by my company. Every shoot had at least one camera operator and an all-round field operation person. Otherwise, I'd have been bumbled (笨手笨脚) around, trying to film myself while also taking photos. Dante Fernandes has been in the field with me for six years, putting up with every possible weather situation and countless seasickness situations than you can imagine.
Depending on the shoot, we were also supported by a lot of other people, such as drone (无人机) pilot, Daina Buchner, who flew drones to capture beautiful shots for the Shark Week episode, and the people who were on camera with me, like Mermaid Linden. I was so lucky to have so many biologists, field guides, camera operators and sound operators. The entire team at Discovery helped me a lot, especially our executive producer Christina Bavetta, who watched every single rough shot and helped us be even better at what we did with her incredible insights and production notes.
So as you watch the show this year, don't just enjoy the beauty and humor of these adventures, but also give a thought to all the people behind the scenes who made it happen.

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.

Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world.Similarly, music is a part of many people's lives.__9__ Here are some of their similarities.
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.Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear.__10__ For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.
Both vary with culture
__11__ In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music.This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don't like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.
Both share emotion
How do you know that I am angry?__12__ 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.__13__
A.Different culture makes different music.
B.Both language and music play a huge role in our lives.
C.You can guess where someone is from by listening to their language.
D.By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time.
E.In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down.
F.Of course, you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words.
G.We have all used music to express our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言和音乐的一些相似性。

11.解析:选C 后文提到可以通过不同的音乐风格来探索许多不同的文化;由后文“In the same way”可知,语言也是如此。故C项衔接下文,符合语境。
12.解析:选F 上文提出一个问题:你如何辨别我生气了?空处应给出回答。故F项承接上文,符合语境,并引出下文音乐也有相同功能。
13.解析:选E 上文提到了感到快乐的情况,本空与上文并列,也应当是在说明情绪方面的变化。故E项承接上文,符合语境。
