[对应学生用书P503] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·南昌三模)Grammy(格莱美) Awards don't only go to the people who produce and perform songs.This year the 2024 Music Educator Award went to Annie Ray，a music teacher at a high school in Virginia，for her efforts to make music accessible to all students，particularly those with disabilities.However，in the award ceremony，she gave the credit to her students. Inspired mostly by the diversity of the Annandale community including over 60 countries，Ray created an orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities.The orchestra is about much more than just making music.Ray says the program gives students a chance to develop their collaboration skills，make mistakes and learn the art of refining something.And they teach her a lot in return—more than she could ever teach them. She says her students completely changed her educational philosophy and approach of what it truly means to meet a student where they're at and apply that elsewhere.“I believe they have a truly powerful message to share with everyone，and especially with how we look at approaching music education and what that looks like，” she added. Ray says the success was especially meaningful because not many people understand what exactly music educators do in the classroom or how much their work matters.While her administration is supportive，another challenge is that her school “desperately” needs new instruments.Ray says she will use some of her grant(拨款) money to buy more. Ray plans to put some of the money towards an ongoing scholarship for students who want to pursue music when they graduate.She knows of several who want to go into music education themselves，which she finds especially rewarding. “It is a hard profession，but it's one that is truly，deeply personal and satisfying，” Ray said.“And there's nothing else like it.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Annie Ray因在音乐教育领域的突出成就而获得2024格莱美音乐教育者奖，并介绍了她的教育理念、学生的收获以及面临的挑战等。 1．Why did Ray win the 2024 Music Educator Award? A．Because of her pioneering teaching philosophy. B．Because of her great musical talent. C．Because of her outstanding education contribution. D．Because of her extraordinary personal style. 解析　C　细节理解题。 根据第一段的内容可知，Ray获奖是因为她为让所有学生，特别是残疾学生能够接触音乐所做出的努力，即她在教育方面的杰出贡献。故选C。 2．What ability can Ray's students gain from the orchestra at present? A．The ability to avoid mistakes. B．The ability to win scholarships. C．The ability to become cooperative. D．The ability to develop intelligence. 解析　C　细节理解题。由第二段“Ray says the program gives students...learn the art of refining something”可以看出，Ray表示这个项目给了学生提升合作技能、犯错并学习完善事物的艺术的机会。所以目前Ray的学生从乐团中能获得协作能力。故选C。 3．What is the orchestra starving for? A．New instruments. B．Support from school. C．Students' participation. D．Sponsorship from the government. 解析　A　细节理解题。从第四段中的“While her administration is supportive，another challenge is that her school ‘desperately’ needs new instruments”可知，尽管行政部门支持，但她的学校面临的另一个挑战是“极度”需要新乐器。所以乐团渴望新乐器。故选A。 4．Which of the following is gratifying to Ray? A．More students majoring in music. B．More students into teaching music. C．More awards for music educators. D．More parents joining the orchestra. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第五段“She knows of several who want to go into music education themselves，which she finds especially rewarding”可知，她知道有几个学生想投身音乐教育，这让她觉得特别有意义。所以越来越多的学生喜欢从事音乐教育令Ray感到欣慰。故选B。 B (2024·南京六校联合调研)In most cases，people pick the easiest way out: the path of least resistance.Yet，it is the hard choice—the path of most resistance—that is more beneficial and provides most success in the long run.How do these paths differ? What are the dangers of an easy life? What are the rewards for a hard life? How do you start taking the path of most resistance? Taking the path of least resistance means choosing the easiest available option，with little regard for its long­term consequences.For example，you eat whatever you like，whenever you like，and in whatever amount you like.It may feel nice at first but all of them have a very steep price.In that case，it's guaranteed obesity.Most people in the modern world follow this path and this is why so many people struggle with a lack of self­discipline，good habits，etc. The path of most resistance is about choosing the option that will lead to more personal growth，even if it means suffering in the early stages of the process.For example，it may cost you a lot to quit watching TV for hours on end.But over the long term，you'll free up a lot of time that will lead to a more satisfying life than that of a couch potato.At first sight，this approach is unappealing.It requires effort，brings no pleasure，and leads to potential suffering.Yet，on the other side of all that lies a world of more confidence，self­discipline and mental resilience (恢复力).In the end，they more than make up for the fleeting superficial pleasure. We're lazy by nature.Some may point out that it is because of this tendency that we now enjoy so many wonders of technology that people in the past would kill to have.But ask the individuals praising laziness if they would be happy living a life where everything is given to them the moment they think about it.They would have zero hardships，no objective in life and no obstacle to overcome and no wise human would want such an existence. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。在大多数情况下，人们会选择最简单的道路：阻力最小的道路。然而，从长远来看，艰难的选择——阻力最大的道路——更有益，能带来最大的成功。 5．How does the author show the dangers of choosing the easy path? A．By giving examples. B．By listing data. C．By making a comparison. D．By asking questions. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example，you eat whatever you like...it's guaranteed obesity(例如，你想吃什么就吃什么，想什么时候吃就什么时候吃，想吃多少就吃多少。一开始你可能感觉不错，但这些都有很高的代价。在那种情况下，它保证肥胖)”可知，作者通过举例来说明选择最简单道路的危害。故选A。 6．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Watching TV for hours. B．Having many life struggles. C．Getting superficial pleasure. D．Choosing the path of most resistance. 解析　D　代词指代题。 第三段的第一句话是本段的主题句，即阻力最大的道路与选择能促使更多个人成长的选项有关，即使这意味着在过程的早期阶段会遭受痛苦。故画线词it指的是选择阻力最大的道路。故选D。A项“看几个小时电视”，B项“有许多生活上的挑战”，C项“获得肤浅的乐趣”。 7．Which of the following would the author agree with? A．Life is to be enjoyed，not endured. B．Set your life goals as early as possible. C．There should be some challenges in life. D．Good habits provide short­term pleasure. 解析　C　细节理解题。 综合全文，尤其是最后一段的“ask the individuals praising laziness...no wise human would want such an existence (问问那些称赞懒惰的人，如果让他们过一种只要一想就能得到一切的生活，他们是否高兴。他们不会遇到困难，没有生活目标，没有需要克服的障碍，没有一个聪明人想要这样的生活)”可知，作者认为生活中应该有一些挑战。故选C。A项“生活是要享受的而不是忍受的”，B项“尽早设定你的人生目标”，D项“良好的习惯提供短期的乐趣”。 8．What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A．To tell us humans are lazy by nature. B．To show the common lifestyles of young people. C．To prove it's laziness that leads to wonders. D．To persuade us to challenge ourselves. 解析　D　写作意图题。本文从一开始就告诉我们从长远来看，艰难的选择——阻力最大的道路——更有益，能带来最大的成功，然后举例说明这一观点。故D项正确。 Ⅱ.七选五 (2024·石家庄教学质检)Super communicators are people who are consistently able to create real connections with others just by listening and talking.The following are four habits of super communicators.
