Now he has released a new album called Song. “Because the cello (大提琴) sings,” he explains. “There are no boundaries to music,” he said. “I enjoy what Ienjoy.” Sheku comes from an incredible musical family in which all six of his siblings (he is the third child of seven) play instruments to a high standard—yet neither parents are musicians. Every spare penny goes into the children’s musical education. The whole family practised at home, which meant he sometimes had to play cello in the bathroom. Every Saturday, Sheku wakes up at the crack of dawn in order to catch the train to London. He uses the journey to catch up with his A-Level homework. However Sheku still finds time for his other hobbies — he enjoys football, table tennis and listens to a wide range of music. Sheku began to play the cello at the age of six, after attending a concert. By the time he was nine, he had achieved Grade 8 and earned the top marks in the country. Since then he has won numerous awards. “I would love to inspire more diversity in young people taking up classical music.” Sheku is also passionate about building better opportunities for young people of any background to learn music at school. “You might never want to go on to become a musician, but it’s still so important. I’d love to help bring more music to schools.” Many schools are having to cut music lessons to save money, which Kanneh-Mason believes deprives young people. “Children should study music for music’s sake,” he said. “It connects the emotional side of your brain — the creativity, the empathy (understanding how other people feel)— with something practical. To bring them together is a very powerful thing.” 4. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Sheku’s hard work and talent. B. Sheku’s family’s music atmosphere. C. Music talent of Sheku and his siblings. D. Sheku’s parents’ support for music education. 5. What can be inferred about Sheku from Paragraph 3? A. He is social and energetic. B. He has a lot of homework. C. He stood out when young. D. He prefers sports to music. 6. According to Sheku, why should young people take up music? A. It can encourage the young when they are in difficulty. B. It can provide more opportunities for people at school. C. It can make them role models for others if they learn music. D. It can combine the emotional side of the brain with real situations. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advertise a competition. B. To introduce a young cellist. C. To stress the value of teachers. D. To attach importance to music. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了青年音乐家谢库·坎内-梅森的成名经历。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Sheku comes from an incredible musical family in which all six of his siblings (he is the third child of seven) play instruments to a high standard—yet neither parents are musicians. (Sheku来自一个令人难以置信的音乐家庭，他的六个兄弟姐妹(他是七个孩子中的第三个)都能以很高的水平演奏乐器，但父母都不是音乐家)”可知，第二段中主要描述的是Sheku家的音乐氛围。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“By the time he was nine, he had achieved Grade 8 and earned the top marks in the country. Since then he has won numerous awards.(到他九岁的时候，他已经升到了八年级，并获得了全国最高分。从那以后，他赢得了无数奖项)”可知，Sheku 在九岁的时候已经达到了八级水平并且荣获无数奖项，由此推断出在小时候他非常的杰出。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““Children should study music for music’s sake,” he said. “It connects the emotional side of your brain — the creativity, the empathy (understanding how other people feel)— with something practical. (“孩子们应该为音乐而学习音乐，”他说。“它将你大脑的情感方面——创造力、同理心(理解他人的感受)——与一些实际的东西联系起来)”可知，Sheku认为学习音乐可以将大脑的情感部分与真实情况结合起来。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章介绍的是注明大提琴家谢库·坎内-梅森的成故事，故文章的目的是向读者们介绍一位知名的大提琴家。故选B。 C Plants might be able to hear their neighbors, according to a study that suggests plants use the sound signal to communicate with one another. “We have shown that plants can recognize when a good neighbor is growing next to them,” said study co-author Monica Gagliano, an evolutionary ecologist at the University of Western Australia. “We found that this communication can be based upon an acoustic (声音的) exchange.” The findings suggest that plants can not only “smell” the chemicals and “see” the reflected light of their neighbors, they may also “listen” to the plants around them. “Plants are more intricate organisms than we’ve given them credit for,” Gagliano said. In the study, Gagliano and her workmate Michael Renton showed that chili plants sprouted faster and were healthier, compared with those grown in isolation, when they were grown next to “good neighbors”, such as basil. Remarkably, the scientists got the same result even when the plants were separated by black plastic so that they could not exchange light or chemical signals. The scientists said the study is groundbreaking but still in its early days, and admitted there are still many unanswered questions. For example, are plants intentionally (有意地) communicating with one another? And if they are, do they all speak in a universal (通用的) “plant language”? To these questions and more, Gagliano said, the answer is “we don’t know”. Gagliano thinks learning the secrets of plant communication could have practical applications (应用) that could benefit humans. She imagines farmers using music to encourage or discourage the growth of certain plants, reducing the need for pesticides. Study co-author Renton warned, however, that the effects in their study were fairly small. “Whether it would be economically viable (经济上可行的),” he said, “for a farmer to play music to get that little extra growth speed, I think it’s pointless and costly.” 8. What did the study find out about plants? A. They have a great influence on their neighboring animals. B. They can sense their surroundings through sounds. C. They can control their own growth in the dark. D. They grow much healthier in isolation. 9. What does the underlined word “intricate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Endangered. B. Natural. C. Complex. D. Productive. 10. What did the scientists think of their study? A. It is inspiring but the findings are limited. B. It is a failure but the methods deserve praise. C. It can help plants send signals more effectively. D. It will draw public attention to the protection of plants. 11. What is Renton’s attitude to the idea of using music to influence the growth of plants? A. Hopeful. B. Supportive. C. Uncaring. D. Opposed. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究表明植物可以利用声音信号与周围环境进行交流，并想象了该研究可能给农业带来的实际应用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Plants might be able to hear their neighbors, according to a study that suggests plants use the sound signal to communicate with one another.”（根据一项研究，植物可能能够听到它们邻居的声音，这表明植物利用声音信号彼此交流。）可知，关于植物，这项研究发现了它们能通过声音感知周围的环境。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“The findings suggest that plants can not only “smell” the chemicals and “see” the reflected light of their neighbors, they may also “listen” to the plants around them.”（研究结果表明，植物不仅可以“闻到”化学物质，“看到”邻居的反射光，它们还可以“听到”周围植物的声音。）由此可知，此处为植物比我们认为的要复杂得多。故可猜测划线单词intricate为“复杂的”意思，结合选项C项Complex“复杂的”意思一致。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段中“The scientists said the study is groundbreaking but still in its early days, and admitted there are still many unanswered questions.”（科学家们表示，这项研究具有开创性，但仍处于早期阶段，并承认仍有许多未解决的问题。）可推知，科学家认为这项研究是鼓舞人心的，但研究结果是有限的。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Whether it would be economically viable(经济上可行的),” he said, “for a farmer to play music to get that little extra growth speed, I think it’s pointless and costly.””（不管从经济上看是否可行，”他说，“对农民来说，通过播放音乐来获得一点额外的生长速度，我认为这是毫无意义的，而且代价高昂。”）可推知，Renton对用音乐影响植物生长的想法持反对的态度。故选D项。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文, 根据短文内容, 从短文后所给的 A、B、C、D、E、F、G 七个选项中,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能选一次, 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Soothe the Sunday scaries Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek.

B Since winning the BBC Young Musician competition in 2016, Sheku Kanneh-Mason has performed at a royal wedding and released music that has topped the charts. Now he has released a new album called Song. “Because the cello (大提琴) sings,” he explains. “There are no boundaries to music,” he said. “I enjoy what Ienjoy.” Sheku comes from an incredible musical family in which all six of his siblings (he is the third child of seven) play instruments to a high standard—yet neither parents are musicians. Every spare penny goes into the children’s musical education. The whole family practised at home, which meant he sometimes had to play cello in the bathroom. Every Saturday, Sheku wakes up at the crack of dawn in order to catch the train to London. He uses the journey to catch up with his A-Level homework. However Sheku still finds time for his other hobbies — he enjoys football, table tennis and listens to a wide range of music. Sheku began to play the cello at the age of six, after attending a concert. By the time he was nine, he had achieved Grade 8 and earned the top marks in the country. Since then he has won numerous awards. “I would love to inspire more diversity in young people taking up classical music.” Sheku is also passionate about building better opportunities for young people of any background to learn music at school. “You might never want to go on to become a musician, but it’s still so important. I’d love to help bring more music to schools.” Many schools are having to cut music lessons to save money, which Kanneh-Mason believes deprives young people. “Children should study music for music’s sake,” he said. “It connects the emotional side of your brain — the creativity, the empathy (understanding how other people feel)— with something practical. To bring them together is a very powerful thing.” 4. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Sheku’s hard work and talent. B. Sheku’s family’s music atmosphere. C. Music talent of Sheku and his siblings. D. Sheku’s parents’ support for music education. 5. What can be inferred about Sheku from Paragraph 3? A. He is social and energetic. B. He has a lot of homework. C. He stood out when young. D. He prefers sports to music. 6. According to Sheku, why should young people take up music? A. It can encourage the young when they are in difficulty. B. It can provide more opportunities for people at school. C It can make them role models for others if they learn music. D. It can combine the emotional side of the brain with real situations. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advertise a competition. B. To introduce a young cellist. C. To stress the value of teachers. D. To attach importance to music. C Plants might be able to hear their neighbors, according to a study that suggests plants use the sound signal to communicate with one another. “We have shown that plants can recognize when a good neighbor is growing next to them,” said study co-author Monica Gagliano, an evolutionary ecologist at the University of Western Australia. “We found that this communication can be based upon an acoustic (声音的) exchange.” The findings suggest that plants can not only “smell” the chemicals and “see” the reflected light of their neighbors, they may also “listen” to the plants around them. “Plants are more intricate organisms than we’ve given them credit for,” Gagliano said. In the study, Gagliano and her workmate Michael Renton showed that chili plants sprouted faster and were healthier, compared with those grown in isolation, when they were grown next to “good neighbors”, such as basil. Remarkably, the scientists got the same result even when the plants were separated by black plastic so that they could not exchange light or chemical signals. The scientists said the study is groundbreaking but still in its early days, and admitted there are still many unanswered questions. For example, are plants intentionally (有意地) communicating with one another? And if they are, do they all speak in a universal (通用的) “plant language”? To these questions and more, Gagliano said, the answer is “we don’t know”. Gagliano thinks learning the secrets of plant communication could have practical applications (应用) that could benefit humans. She imagines farmers using music to encourage or discourage the growth of certain plants, reducing the need for pesticides. Study co-author Renton warned, however, that the effects in their study were fairly small. “Whether it would be economically viable (经济上可行的),” he said, “for a farmer to play music to get that little extra growth speed, I think it’s pointless and costly.” 8. What did the study find out about plants? A. They have a great influence on their neighboring animals. B. They can sense their surroundings through sounds. C. They can control their own growth in the dark. D. They grow much healthier in isolation. 9. What does the underlined word “intricate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Endangered. B. Natural. C. Complex. D. Productive. 10. What did the scientists think of their study? A. It is inspiring but the findings are limited. B. It is a failure but the methods deserve praise. C. It can help plants send signals more effectively. D. It will draw public attention to the protection of plants. 11. What is Renton’s attitude to the idea of using music to influence the growth of plants? A. Hopeful. B. Supportive. C. Uncaring. D. Opposed. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文, 根据短文内容, 从短文后所给的 A、B、C、D、E、F、G 七个选项中,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能选一次, 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Soothe the Sunday scaries Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek. But as the weekend comes to an end, many are missing out on Sunday Funday and instead experiencing an overwhelming sense of anxiety and even dread about the upcoming week. ___12___ Some people describe it as a heaviness they can feel in their body, while others feel so unsettled that they could jump out of their skin. Even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable. Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety. Structure your Sunday. ___13___ You might still go through that sense of dread, but that feeling is harder to hold on to when you’ re engaging in something that makes you feel good.
