Ian Happ is a professional baseball player for a baseball team in the United States. When he first started playing with the team in 2017, he was looking for pictures to hang in his home. An idea and an unlikely partnership with a British artist came from that simple desire.
Happ wanted to show Wrigley Field (瑞格利球场), the team’s ballpark, from a different artistic vision. He said that many baseball fans had been to Wrigley Field but had never seen what the ballpark looked like, from the field. He thought looking up from the field was such a cool experience that he intended to bring that to more fans. So, from his point of view, he let the British artist Patrick Vale create three large drawings of Wrigley Field. Instead of having pictures hung in his home, the partnership led to something quite different.
Happ’s views of Wrigley Field became the project, Through My Eyes, in which fans could purchase prints. The money made in this way went toward those people in need. The drawings by Vale became See What I See, an exhibition at a Chicago’s gallery. The show lasted a period of time.
Happ ever brought Vale to Chicago in September of 2018 and showed him around Wrigley Field. Vale knew little about the sport of baseball. But he understood the connection fans had with Wrigley Field. Happ had to explain to Vale the importance of the 400-foot sign in the center field and the famous manual scoreboard. He had to teach him the correct positioning of the players. He also explained what it felt like standing in the field under the bright lights with a loud crowd.
Vale took pictures and used them to help him create drawings in great detail. He was very modest and would send rough drawings to Happ, who would mark them up in red ink, like a teacher, with suggestions. It was in this way that their cooperation was so successful.
4. What did Happ ask Vale to do?
A. Join the baseball team.
B. Find a different baseball field.
C. Draw pictures of his home.
D. Create three pictures according to his own perspectives.
5. What is the main purpose of Through My Eyes?
A. To hold an exhibition.
B. To do charity to help people in need.
C To attract baseball fans.
D. To promote the printing trade.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. What Vale explained to Happ.
B. How Vale corrected Happ’s mistakes.
C. What Happ and Vale felt about the field.
D. How Happ introduced Vale about Wrigley field.
7. Which word can best describe Vale?
A. modest. B. Humorous. C. Casual. D. Conventional.
C
When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.
Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.
“It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).”
The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin — to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.
With millions of songs available, one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes (主题).
“It’s a very cool result,” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.”
8. Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph?
A. To reach a conclusion.
B. To lead in the topic.
C. To offer a suggestion.
D. To provide the background.
9. What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned.
10. How did the people who listened to bittersweet and moving sons feel?
A. They felt less pain.
B. They felt stressful.
C. They felt upset.
D. They felt unhappy.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music?
B. How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly?
C. The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music.
D. Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain.
D
Friends are important in our lives, but we sometimes have to separate from our friends. “A Farewell Song” is about saying goodbye to a friend. It is a famous poem by Wang Wei, a great poet, who lived in Tang Dynasty. He is good at writing poems and drawing. When talking about Wang Wei, people often say there are pictures in his poems and there are poems in his pictures. His poems are full of beauty and imagination.
“No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain”, “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green”, a picture of silence and peace gets into our eyes. After a morning rain in spring, the road, the willows (柳树) and the hotel are completely different. The hotel looks green. The willows look fresh. Everything is nice, gentle and silent. Willow branches are considered as a typical symbol of farewell in China. In ancient times, Chinese people often used them as gifts when they said goodbye to their friends.
“I invite you to drink a cup of wine again” is the poet’s warm and real way of not wanting to say goodbye to his friend. Having another drink together is like a symbol of their goodbye. Lastly, “West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen” shows the feeling of being alone and missing someone. It also shows his sincere love and care for his friend.
“A Farewell Song” creates a feeling of quiet sadness. It mixes beautiful pictures and human feelings to deeply express the common experience of saying goodbye.
12. When did Wang Wei’s friend leave in the poem?
A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn. D. In winter.
13. What is considered as a typical symbol of farewell in China?
A. A morning rain. B. A handkerchief. C. A willow branch. D. A red bean.
14. Which of the following rhymes are RIGHT for this poem?
A. aa-bb. B. ab-ab. C. ab-cd. D. ad-bc.
15. What does Wang Wei want to show in this poem?
A. To show his excitement after seeing his old friend.
B. To show his joy before separating from his friend.
C. To show a feeling of quiet sadness before farewell.
D. To show his anger before farewell.

Ian Happ is a professional baseball player for a baseball team in the United States. When he first started playing with the team in 2017, he was looking for pictures to hang in his home. An idea and an unlikely partnership with a British artist came from that simple desire.
Happ wanted to show Wrigley Field (瑞格利球场), the team’s ballpark, from a different artistic vision. He said that many baseball fans had been to Wrigley Field but had never seen what the ballpark looked like, from the field. He thought looking up from the field was such a cool experience that he intended to bring that to more fans. So, from his point of view, he let the British artist Patrick Vale create three large drawings of Wrigley Field. Instead of having pictures hung in his home, the partnership led to something quite different.
Happ’s views of Wrigley Field became the project, Through My Eyes, in which fans could purchase prints. The money made in this way went toward those people in need. The drawings by Vale became See What I See, an exhibition at a Chicago’s gallery. The show lasted a period of time.
Happ ever brought Vale to Chicago in September of 2018 and showed him around Wrigley Field. Vale knew little about the sport of baseball. But he understood the connection fans had with Wrigley Field. Happ had to explain to Vale the importance of the 400-foot sign in the center field and the famous manual scoreboard. He had to teach him the correct positioning of the players. He also explained what it felt like standing in the field under the bright lights with a loud crowd.
Vale took pictures and used them to help him create drawings in great detail. He was very modest and would send rough drawings to Happ, who would mark them up in red ink, like a teacher, with suggestions. It was in this way that their cooperation was so successful.
4. What did Happ ask Vale to do?
A. Join the baseball team.
B. Find a different baseball field.
C. Draw pictures of his home.
D. Create three pictures according to his own perspectives.
5. What is the main purpose of Through My Eyes?
A. To hold an exhibition.
B. To do charity to help people in need.
C. To attract baseball fans.
D. To promote the printing trade.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. What Vale explained to Happ.
B. How Vale corrected Happ’s mistakes.
C. What Happ and Vale felt about the field.
D How Happ introduced Vale about Wrigley field.
7. Which word can best describe Vale?
A. modest. B. Humorous. C. Casual. D. Conventional.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A

When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.
Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.
“It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).”
The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin — to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.
With millions of songs available, one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes (主题).
“It’s a very cool result,” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.”
8. Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph?
A. To reach a conclusion.
B. To lead in the topic.
C. To offer a suggestion.
D. To provide the background.
9. What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned.
10. How did the people who listened to bittersweet and moving sons feel?
A. They felt less pain.
B. They felt stressful.
C. They felt upset.
D. They felt unhappy.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music?
B. How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly?
C. The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music.
D. Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现——某些类型的音乐能够帮助你减轻痛苦。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.(当阿黛尔在2011年发行单曲《Someone Like You》时,这首苦乐参半的歌曲受到了全球数百万人的欢迎。十多年后,这首歌仍然是她最受欢迎的歌曲之一。她的艺术,以及其他许多掌握了用缓慢而情绪化的节奏让听众感到感动的艺术的人,有一种管理心碎和失去的情感痛苦的方法)”可推断,作者在第一段提到Adele是为了引出话题,说明她的音乐能够引起听众的情感共鸣,并引出音乐对减轻疼痛的研究。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario.

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes (主题).(研究人员发现,听苦乐参半且动人的歌曲的人比听平静或欢快主题歌曲的人感觉疼痛更少)”可知,听苦乐参半且动人的歌曲的人比听平静或欢快主题歌曲的人感觉疼痛更少,即他们感觉疼痛减轻了。故选A。
【11题详解】

And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.(根据发表在《疼痛研究前沿》杂志上的一项新研究,听喜欢的歌曲也可以减少人们的疼痛感。研究发现,最有效的止痛药是描述苦乐参半和情感经历的悲伤歌曲)”可知,某些类型的音乐能够帮助你减轻痛苦。故短文的标题为“某些类型的音乐可以帮助你减轻疼痛”。故选D项。

Li Hua
【答案】Dear Tom,
As you know, I’m mad about music. Music is the universal of mankind. Of all kinds of music, pop is my favorite. I think its lyrics are really catchy and meaningful and I can learn to sing easily. Pop makes my life delightful and alive. However, I can’t stand rock music. It’s too loud and noisy. Although I don’t have much spare time to enjoy music, I often listen to it on the MP3 player on my way to school. At home if I don’t study, the music will be on all the time.
At the New Year Party, I played the violin in the school orchestra. I think we played pretty well. The audience gave us a big round of applause.
By the way, do you like music as well?
Yours,
La Hua

47. 读后续写
There was a girl named Emily. Although her singing was pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never sings in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mom’s ad vice and decided to have a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily told her mother what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion. The next day, she began to practice singing outside. Gradually, her courage became greater and greater, and the sound of her singing was also louder and louder. Months later, she could sing as she was walking. A naughty boy who had laughed at her before cried to her, “Emily, coward! Emily, coward!” Emily felt depressed. However, she chose to ignore his behavior.
Going on singing, she walked into the park. Many people were singing and dancing there. Hearing her beautiful voice, some stopped to listen to her singing and clapped for her. A grandma smiled to her and said, “Oh, little girl, your voice is really beautiful!” Encouraged by the words, Emily felt pleased and could sing confidently in front of strangers. In the second year singing competition, Emily walked onto the stage bravely, and her loud and beautiful voice of singing moved all the people, including those who had laughed at her. Her mother was delighted to see the timid girl became a brave one.
