They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics and activities of the American people. But most of the radio broadcast is music.    Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer.Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.

But scientists still struggle to figure out what gives music this effect. In former studies, musical tempo (节奏) , musical energy and how relaxing the music is don’t impact pain relief. In a new study, researchers argue that the relief could come from letting people pick songs to listen to. The team designed an online experiment where participants either listened to music with low or high complexity (复杂性) . They gave some participants a chance to choose their song. They needed to listen to four musical clips (片段) that lasted two seconds and chose one to listen to in full. However, all the clips came from the same song, so they all actually listened to the same song. The researchers had asked a musician to write two pieces that shared the same song but differed in complexity. Before the test, participants rated their well-being, pain intensity and pain unpleasantness. Then, they listened to the entire song — either the complex or simple version. Afterwards, they re-rated their pain and well-being, reported how they felt about the song and described how deeply they were involved in music in their everyday lives. People who thought they chose the song to listen to had reduced pain intensity, but not pain unpleasantness, and people that regularly got involved in music benefited the most. Meanwhile, song complexity didn’t affect the result. Listening to the chosen music gives people control over their environment, which could relieve pain. That leads to feelings of wellness and decreased pain. The findings also stress the importance of musical absorption — the feeling of getting lost in a song and losing physical awareness. In the future, the team hopes to develop methods that interest listeners who don’t listen to music much in their daily lives. The author hopes that the findings could be used to improve music therapy. It’s not enough just to play music in the background. It is to have the greatest impact and help patients. 1．Which of the following does the new research focus on? A．Several effects of music on people’s imagination. B．Why music can actually draw people’s attention. C．What kind of music can help people work better. D．Whether people’s listening to chosen music can relieve pain. 2．What is the fact about the music listened to by the participants? A．It was made up of two different songs. B．All the clips were taken from the same song. C．Its ending was more complex than its beginning. D．It had been listened to three times before their choosing the song. 3．What can we conclude from the experiment? A．Those who listen to music often can benefit a lot more. B．Those who listen to complex music can best control their pain. C．Those who choose the loud music to listen to can feel more pleasant. D．Those who choose the light music can be more aware of their environment. 4．How does the author like the result of the research? A．Practical. B．Doubtful. C．Disappointing. D．Worrying. （24-25高一上·陕西西安·期末）Hanfu, an ethnic dress of Chinese Han people, has a long history. While many designer have been trying to restore its authenticity (真实性), others say it’s best to leave it in the past. Chu Yan, a fashion designer, is known for her work in recreating traditional Chinese garments. She also teaches at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and runs a studio on Beijing’s outskirts. Her work includes designing the traditional Chinese wear Tangzhuang for world leaders participating at the APEC meeting in Beijing in 2014. “An earlier project was about Dunhuang murals (壁画). They are two-dimensional. Later on, I worked with Xi’ an Museum. We worked with pottery figures. They are three-dimensional, unlike the murals. We have developed a better sense of what the real items may look like,” Chu said. Chu shared her belief in recreating these historical art pieces, and that is “to know where it comes from and to lead where it heads to”. Because of the technological advances, many contend that these new designs cannot be traditional Hanfu and only classical garments can be considered authentic. However, Chu says it’s more complicated than that. “Can we recreate something exactly like it was in history? We can do that. Our design, tailoring and production methods allow us to do that. But the difference is that we use distinctive techniques and materials,” she said. In response to the claim that Hanfu should make a return, she says young Chinese designers should have a clear understanding of the art history and give what’s the past a new life. She believes young Chinese designers should keep this famous Chinese saying in mind. “Honoring history doesn’t mean you have to mimic (模仿) what it looked like in the past. You have to do even better,” she added. 1．What can we know about Chu Yan? A．She is well-known for her work in designing Tangzhuang. B．She took part in the APEC meeting in Beijing in 2014. C．She once worked on a project about Dunhuang murals. D．She is studying at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology. 2．What does the underlined word “contend” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Oppose. B．Predict. C．Realize. D．Argue. 3．What should young Chinese designers do about Hanfu according to Chu? A．Make a fast return of it. B．Spread it to the world widely. C．Add new thing in its design. D．Encourage people to wear it. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Chinese Designer Reconnects the Present and the Past via Hanfu B．Ancient Chinese Fashion Is Making a Comeback C．Putting China’s Traditional Hanfu on the World Stage D．Hanfu: The Controversies Behind the New Trend （24-25高一上·云南德宏·期末）You might think of martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down a river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: single bamboo drifting (独竹漂). Over 2,000 years ago, the high-quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court in the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became single bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Due to various skills it takes for one to master this act, single bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021. Yang Liu, an inheritor (继承者) of single bamboo drifting, learned it at 7. “ Usually, the bamboo under our feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in our hands is about 5 meters. If the length of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current (水流) by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell into the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said. The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. Yang also shows creativity when spreading the culture of single bamboo drifting. For example, she includes dance in single bamboo drifting to make it more graceful. As hanfu culture has been on the rise, Yang started wearing hanfu while performing, creating a more beautiful feel. In 2020, Yang began to post her videos on social media. “ I’m extremely proud to get the response from viewers that single bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It’s my mission to keep it alive and make it known to more people,” Yang Liu told China Daily. 1．What can be learned from the second paragraph? A．Nanmu was delivered to the north by land. B．Single bamboo drifting needs lots of skills. C．Nanmu was in demand by the royal court in the south. D．Bamboo was expensive in Guizhou over 2,000 years ago. 2．What is the biggest challenge in learning single bamboo drifting? A．Keeping balance. B．Maintaining a fixed angle. C．Finding the proper bamboo. D．Holding the bamboo firmly in hands. 3．What do the viewers think of single bamboo drifting? A．It’s confusing. B．It’s unbelievable. C．It’s worrying. D．It’s terrible. 4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Balancing with Grace B．Chinese Cultural Heritage C．Yang Liu: a Creative Performer D．Transporting Bamboo down the River （24-25高一上·甘肃武威·开学考试）Chinese women love to ask their boyfriends one question: “If your mother and I were drowning in a river, whom would you rescue first?” While that may sound nave, many romantic Chinese guys face a similar dilemma this Sunday. Chinese Lunar New Year falls on the same day as Valentine’s Day this year, forcing amorous young men to make a tough choice between mother and girlfriend. This has also caused trouble for flower shops since business is still down ahead of the usual rush for many florists. Jiao Ting, a florist in the Tiantongyuan residential area of Beijing’s Changping District, is trying to keep a stiff upper lip. “Our sales have dropped at least 30 percent and less than 10 people have placed orders each day,” Jiao said. “In previous years, we offered free delivery service to customers who bought flowers worth more than 200 yuan. But now, we give free delivery and chocolate or toy bears as gifts,” she said. The major reason for slow business is that many unmarried young people have to skip celebrating Valentine’s Day with their significant others for a traditional dinner with family. No matter how weak their businesses are, florists in the capital are not planning any discounts but instead plan to raise prices. According to a survey by sina.com, one of China’s biggest news portals, about 56.3 percent of respondents will go home for a family dinner on Feb 14, while 31.3 percent will celebrate Valentine’s Day with their special someone. 1．What day does Chinese Lunar New Year fall on this year? A．Valentine’s Day B．January 1st C．Feb.4th D．Jan.14th 2．Why is the flower business not so good as usual on Feb.14? A．Because the florists don’t give any discounts. B．Because the florists don’t offer free delivery service. C．Because the Spring Festival and Valentine’s Day are on the same day and many unmarried young people choose to have traditional dinner with family. D．Because the flower prices are too high for young people to afford. 3．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．Valentine’s Day is more important than the Spring Festival for young people. B．The flower business is booming during the festival because of Valentine’s Day. C．Though the business is weak, florists in Beijing plan to raise flower prices. D．Young people will easily make the choice that they would rather spend the festival with their family members than with their lovers. 4．What’s the meaning of the underlined word? A．问题 B．进退两难 C．麻烦 D．方案 5．The passage seems to tell us _________. A．the Spring Festival is the most important in most Chinese hearts. B．who should be saved first, mother or girlfriend C．florists always have good business on Feb.14th. D．young people love to celebrate Valentine’s Day. 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25高一上·云南曲靖·阶段练习）Can you imagine a world without music? Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students’ academic (学术) growth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools. Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in maths and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by the College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education. Music programmes in public schools also help to add to a student’s sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and other troubles. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse found that students who took part in school music programmes were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programmes encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance. Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries (界限). Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally (口头上), they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music. The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back. 1．What can we learn about education with music classes? A．It allows schools to make more money. B．It leads to a lot of emotional problems easily. C．It has a great influence on the culture of the country. D．It does good to students’ academic success and emotional health. 2．What do the two studies seem to show? A．Not all students take part in music lessons. B．Music plays an important role in students’ success. C．Students with great success like to attend music lessons. D．Students having music classes are better in all lessons. 3．The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that__________. A．different cultures have different styles of music. B．music makes cross-country communication possible. C．Japan has a good international relationship with America. D．Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．How to Get Music Back. B．Music Education in Schools. C．Music-a Bridge to Understanding. D．The Importance of Listening to Music. （24-25高一下·河南郑州·开学考试）When it comes to traditional performing arts in Thailand, Khon (孔舞) is perhaps the most famous of them all. These days, Khon is performed everywhere from schools to special events, and even in tourist-frequented Thai restaurants. But one of the best places to experience a real Khon performance is Bangkok’s Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre. Apassara Nok-ork, 35, has been performing Khon in the theatre. She started studying traditional Thai dance at around four years old, choosing to focus on Khon from the age of 15. “We have to start learning Khon at a very young age,” Apassara says. “And we have to keep practicing the routine, and training our body often to keep our strength, since the clothes are really heavy. While we perform, if we didn’t have enough training, our situation of being tired would show and the audience would see it.” Among the most important skills a Khon performer must have is flexibility (灵活性). Even the hand movements that the female dancers carry out on stage are highly unnatural, which is the result of years of hard training. For Apassara, all of the pain and hard work over the years has been worth it. Khon has enabled her to perform at big festivals including government events, and it has also taken her to faraway places — she has traveled all over the world. She feels proud every time she presents this valuable art to people. She still feels excited every single time she performs, no matter how many times she has done it before. But like many of her coworkers, Apassara fears for its future. “I think it’s my duty to let people pay attention to Khon more, because I don’t know if it will disappear in the future or people may not care about it anymore,” says Apassara. “Currently, there is only a small group of people who are protecting it. I want everyone to help — both Thai people and foreigners.” 1．Why do Khon performers need to train their bodies according to Apassara? A．To look more beautiful on the stage. B．To deal with the heavy clothes. C．To have a longer working life. D．To avoid being out of shape. 2．What influence does Khon have on Apassara? A．It brings her many like-minded friends. B．It enables her to become famous worldwide. C．It enriches her life and builds her confidence. D．It makes her hand movements more flexible. 3．Which words can best describe Apassara? A．Honest and patient. B．Easy-going and humorous. C．Hard-working and responsible. D．Creative and professional. 4．What do Apassara’s words in the last paragraph suggest? A．Khon should be learned and protected by more people. B．The Thai government should offer more support. C．Khon is losing attraction among foreigners. D．Some methods have been taken to pass down Khon. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 4 Amazing Art 单元话题阅读理解练习 基础语篇巩固练 （2024高一上·山东青岛·专题练习）Can you sing in different voices? Chinese singer Zhou Shen can do this.

But scientists still struggle to figure out what gives music this effect. In former studies, musical tempo (节奏) , musical energy and how relaxing the music is don’t impact pain relief. In a new study, researchers argue that the relief could come from letting people pick songs to listen to. The team designed an online experiment where participants either listened to music with low or high complexity (复杂性) . They gave some participants a chance to choose their song. They needed to listen to four musical clips (片段) that lasted two seconds and chose one to listen to in full. However, all the clips came from the same song, so they all actually listened to the same song. The researchers had asked a musician to write two pieces that shared the same song but differed in complexity. Before the test, participants rated their well-being, pain intensity and pain unpleasantness. Then, they listened to the entire song — either the complex or simple version. Afterwards, they re-rated their pain and well-being, reported how they felt about the song and described how deeply they were involved in music in their everyday lives. People who thought they chose the song to listen to had reduced pain intensity, but not pain unpleasantness, and people that regularly got involved in music benefited the most. Meanwhile, song complexity didn’t affect the result. Listening to the chosen music gives people control over their environment, which could relieve pain. That leads to feelings of wellness and decreased pain. The findings also stress the importance of musical absorption — the feeling of getting lost in a song and losing physical awareness. In the future, the team hopes to develop methods that interest listeners who don’t listen to music much in their daily lives. The author hopes that the findings could be used to improve music therapy. It’s not enough just to play music in the background. It is to have the greatest impact and help patients. 1．Which of the following does the new research focus on? A．Several effects of music on people’s imagination. B．Why music can actually draw people’s attention. C．What kind of music can help people work better. D．Whether people’s listening to chosen music can relieve pain. 2．What is the fact about the music listened to by the participants? A．It was made up of two different songs. B．All the clips were taken from the same song. C．Its ending was more complex than its beginning. D．It had been listened to three times before their choosing the song. 3．What can we conclude from the experiment? A．Those who listen to music often can benefit a lot more. B．Those who listen to complex music can best control their pain. C．Those who choose the loud music to listen to can feel more pleasant. D．Those who choose the light music can be more aware of their environment. 4．How does the author like the result of the research? A．Practical. B．Doubtful. C．Disappointing. D．Worrying. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要说明让人们挑选歌曲听可以让他们减轻痛苦程度。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In a new study, researchers argue that the relief could come from letting people pick songs to listen to.(在一项新的研究中，研究人员认为，让人们选择听的歌曲可能会减轻压力)”可知，这项新研究的重点是人们听选定的音乐是否能缓解疼痛。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“They needed to listen to four musical clips (片段) that lasted two seconds and chose one to listen to in full. However, all the clips came from the same song, so they all actually listened to the same song.(他们需要听四个持续两秒钟的音乐片段，并选择一个完整地听。然而，所有的片段都来自同一首歌，所以他们实际上都听了同一首歌)”可知，参与者听的音乐，所有的片段都取自同一首歌。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“People who thought they chose the song to listen to had reduced pain intensity, but not pain unpleasantness, and people that regularly got involved in music benefited the most. Meanwhile, song complexity didn’t affect the result.(那些认为自己选择了要听的歌曲的人，疼痛强度减轻了，但疼痛带来的不愉快感没有减轻，而那些经常听音乐的人受益最大。同时，歌曲的复杂性对结果没有影响)”可知，那些经常听音乐的人会受益更多。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the future, the team hopes to develop methods that interest listeners who don’t listen to music much in their daily lives. The author hopes that the findings could be used to improve music therapy. It’s not enough just to play music in the background. It is to have the greatest impact and help patients.(在未来，该团队希望开发出一些方法，让那些在日常生活中不怎么听音乐的听众感兴趣。作者希望这一发现可以用于改善音乐治疗。仅仅播放背景音乐是不够的。它是有最大的影响和帮助病人)”可知，作者认为研究结果是实用的。故选A项， （24-25高一上·陕西西安·期末）Hanfu, an ethnic dress of Chinese Han people, has a long history. While many designer have been trying to restore its authenticity (真实性), others say it’s best to leave it in the past. Chu Yan, a fashion designer, is known for her work in recreating traditional Chinese garments. She also teaches at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and runs a studio on Beijing’s outskirts. Her work includes designing the traditional Chinese wear Tangzhuang for world leaders participating at the APEC meeting in Beijing in 2014. “An earlier project was about Dunhuang murals (壁画). They are two-dimensional. Later on, I worked with Xi’ an Museum. We worked with pottery figures. They are three-dimensional, unlike the murals. We have developed a better sense of what the real items may look like,” Chu said. Chu shared her belief in recreating these historical art pieces, and that is “to know where it comes from and to lead where it heads to”. Because of the technological advances, many contend that these new designs cannot be traditional Hanfu and only classical garments can be considered authentic. However, Chu says it’s more complicated than that. “Can we recreate something exactly like it was in history? We can do that. Our design, tailoring and production methods allow us to do that. But the difference is that we use distinctive techniques and materials,” she said. In response to the claim that Hanfu should make a return, she says young Chinese designers should have a clear understanding of the art history and give what’s the past a new life. She believes young Chinese designers should keep this famous Chinese saying in mind. “Honoring history doesn’t mean you have to mimic (模仿) what it looked like in the past. You have to do even better,” she added. 1．What can we know about Chu Yan? A．She is well-known for her work in designing Tangzhuang. B．She took part in the APEC meeting in Beijing in 2014. C．She once worked on a project about Dunhuang murals. D．She is studying at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology. 2．What does the underlined word “contend” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Oppose. B．Predict. C．Realize. D．Argue. 3．What should young Chinese designers do about Hanfu according to Chu? A．Make a fast return of it. B．Spread it to the world widely. C．Add new thing in its design. D．Encourage people to wear it. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Chinese Designer Reconnects the Present and the Past via Hanfu B．Ancient Chinese Fashion Is Making a Comeback C．Putting China’s Traditional Hanfu on the World Stage D．Hanfu: The Controversies Behind the New Trend 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了服装设计师楚艳在重现传统汉服方面的工作及观点，她认为应让过去的汉服焕发出新的生机。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中楚艳的话“An earlier project was about Dunhuang murals (壁画). They are two dimensional. Later on, I worked with Xi’ an Museum. We worked with pottery figures. They are three dimensional, unlike the murals. (早期的一个项目是关于敦煌壁画的。它们是二维的。后来，我和西安博物馆合作。我们研究陶俑。它们是三维的，和壁画不同。)”可知，楚艳曾经参与过一个关于敦煌壁画的项目。故选C项。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Because of the technological advances, many contend that these new designs cannot be traditional Hanfu and only classical garments can be considered authentic. (由于技术的进步，许多人contend这些新设计不能算是传统汉服，只有古典服饰才能被认为是正宗的。)”中“that these new designs cannot be traditional Hanfu and only classical garments can be considered authentic”可知，这是一些人对新设计的看法，所以划线词contend意为“主张，认为”，与D项“Argue”意思相近。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In response to the claim that Hanfu should make a return, she says young Chinese designers should have a clear understanding of the art history and give what’s the past a new life. (对于汉服应该回归的说法，她说中国年轻设计师应该清楚地了解艺术史，赋予过去的东西新的生命。)”可知，楚艳认为年轻的中国设计师应该在汉服设计中加入新的东西。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段中楚艳的话“to know where it comes from and to lead where it heads to (了解它从哪里来，引领它走向何方)”和最后一段“In response to the claim that Hanfu should make a return, she says young Chinese designers should have a clear understanding of the art history and give what’s the past a new life. She believes young Chinese designers should keep this famous Chinese saying in mind. “Honoring history doesn’t mean you have to mimic (模仿) what it looked like in the past. You have to do even better,” she added. (对于汉服应该回归的说法，她说中国年轻设计师应该清楚地了解艺术史，赋予过去的东西新的生命。她认为年轻的中国设计师应该牢记这句中国名言。“尊重历史并不意味着你必须模仿过去的样子。你必须做得更好，”她补充道。)”中她鼓励年轻设计师赋予过去的汉服新生命可知，本文主要讲的是中国设计师通过汉服将过去和现在联系起来的故事。故A项“Chinese Designer Reconnects the Present and the Past via Hanfu (中国设计师通过汉服将现在与过去重新联系起来)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 （24-25高一上·云南德宏·期末）You might think of martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down a river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: single bamboo drifting (独竹漂). Over 2,000 years ago, the high-quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court in the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became single bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Due to various skills it takes for one to master this act, single bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021. Yang Liu, an inheritor (继承者) of single bamboo drifting, learned it at 7. “ Usually, the bamboo under our feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in our hands is about 5 meters. If the length of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current (水流) by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell into the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said. The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. Yang also shows creativity when spreading the culture of single bamboo drifting. For example, she includes dance in single bamboo drifting to make it more graceful. As hanfu culture has been on the rise, Yang started wearing hanfu while performing, creating a more beautiful feel. In 2020, Yang began to post her videos on social media. “ I’m extremely proud to get the response from viewers that single bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It’s my mission to keep it alive and make it known to more people,” Yang Liu told China Daily. 1．What can be learned from the second paragraph? A．Nanmu was delivered to the north by land. B．Single bamboo drifting needs lots of skills. C．Nanmu was in demand by the royal court in the south. D．Bamboo was expensive in Guizhou over 2,000 years ago. 2．What is the biggest challenge in learning single bamboo drifting? A．Keeping balance. B．Maintaining a fixed angle. C．Finding the proper bamboo. D．Holding the bamboo firmly in hands. 3．What do the viewers think of single bamboo drifting? A．It’s confusing. B．It’s unbelievable. C．It’s worrying. D．It’s terrible. 4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Balancing with Grace B．Chinese Cultural Heritage C．Yang Liu: a Creative Performer D．Transporting Bamboo down the River 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述独竹漂入选非遗，传承人创新结合舞蹈与汉服，通过社交媒体弘扬传统技艺。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Due to various skills it takes for one to master this act, single bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 201.

Chinese Lunar New Year falls on the same day as Valentine’s Day this year, forcing amorous young men to make a tough choice between mother and girlfriend. This has also caused trouble for flower shops since business is still down ahead of the usual rush for many florists. Jiao Ting, a florist in the Tiantongyuan residential area of Beijing’s Changping District, is trying to keep a stiff upper lip. “Our sales have dropped at least 30 percent and less than 10 people have placed orders each day,” Jiao said. “In previous years, we offered free delivery service to customers who bought flowers worth more than 200 yuan. But now, we give free delivery and chocolate or toy bears as gifts,” she said. The major reason for slow business is that many unmarried young people have to skip celebrating Valentine’s Day with their significant others for a traditional dinner with family. No matter how weak their businesses are, florists in the capital are not planning any discounts but instead plan to raise prices. According to a survey by sina.com, one of China’s biggest news portals, about 56.3 percent of respondents will go home for a family dinner on Feb 14, while 31.3 percent will celebrate Valentine’s Day with their special someone. 1．What day does Chinese Lunar New Year fall on this year? A．Valentine’s Day B．January 1st C．Feb.4th D．Jan.14th 2．Why is the flower business not so good as usual on Feb.14? A．Because the florists don’t give any discounts. B．Because the florists don’t offer free delivery service. C．Because the Spring Festival and Valentine’s Day are on the same day and many unmarried young people choose to have traditional dinner with family. D．Because the flower prices are too high for young people to afford. 3．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．Valentine’s Day is more important than the Spring Festival for young people. B．The flower business is booming during the festival because of Valentine’s Day. C．Though the business is weak, florists in Beijing plan to raise flower prices. D．Young people will easily make the choice that they would rather spend the festival with their family members than with their lovers. 4．What’s the meaning of the underlined word? A．问题 B．进退两难 C．麻烦 D．方案 5．The passage seems to tell us _________. A．the Spring Festival is the most important in most Chinese hearts. B．who should be saved first, mother or girlfriend C．florists always have good business on Feb.14th. D．young people love to celebrate Valentine’s Day. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了中国农历新年和情人节在同一天时，年轻人面临的选择困境以及这对花店生意的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Chinese Lunar New Year falls on the same day as Valentine’s Day this year, forcing amorous young men to make a tough choice between mother and girlfriend.(今年中国农历新年与情人节同一天，这迫使多情的年轻男子在母亲和女朋友之间做出艰难的选择。)”可知，今年中国农历新年和情人节是同一天。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第六段“he major reason for slow business is that many unmarried young people have to skip celebrating Valentine’s Day with their significant others for a traditional dinner with family.(生意清淡的主要原因是，许多未婚年轻人不得不放弃与另一半共度情人节的机会，转而与家人共进传统晚餐。)”可知，花店生意不好的主要原因是春节和情人节在同一天，许多未婚年轻人选择与家人共进传统晚餐。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“No matter how weak their businesses are, florists in the capital are not planning any discounts but instead plan to raise prices.(无论生意多么不景气，首都的花店都不打算打折，而是计划涨价。)”可知，尽管生意不景气，北京的花店不打算打折，反而计划提高价格。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Chinese women love to ask their boyfriends one question: "If your mother and I were drowning in a river, whom would you rescue first?" While that may sound nave, many romantic Chinese guys face a similar dilemma this Sunday.(中国女人喜欢问男朋友一个问题：“如果你妈妈和我一起落水，你会先救谁？”虽然这听起来很幼稚，但很多浪漫的中国男人在这个星期天也面临着类似的dilemma。)”可知，前文的举例说明了中国男孩面临的困境，由similar可知，划线词dilemma在文中指的是“进退两难”的困境。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据文章整体内容，特别是第二段“Chinese Lunar New Year falls on the same day as Valentine’s Day this year, forcing amorous young men to make a tough choice between mother and girlfriend. This has also caused trouble for flower shops since business is still down ahead of the usual rush for many florists.( 今年中国农历新年与情人节同一天，这迫使多情的年轻男子在母亲和女朋友之间做出艰难的选择。这也给花店带来了麻烦，因为在许多花店通常的高峰期之前，生意仍然低迷。)”和第六段“The major reason for slow business is that many unmarried young people have to skip celebrating Valentine’s Day with their significant others for a traditional dinner with family.( 生意清淡的主要原因是，许多未婚年轻人不得不放弃与另一半共度情人节的机会，转而与家人共进传统晚餐。)”可推断，文章似乎在告诉我们春节在大多数中国人心中是最重要的节日。故选A。 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25高一上·云南曲靖·阶段练习）Can you imagine a world without music? Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students’ academic (学术) growth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools. Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in maths and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by the College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education. Music programmes in public schools also help to add to a student’s sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and other troubles. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse found that students who took part in school music programmes were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programmes encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance. Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries (界限). Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally (口头上), they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music. The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back. 1．What can we learn about education with music classes? A．It allows schools to make more money. B．It leads to a lot of emotional problems easily. C．It has a great influence on the culture of the country. D．It does good to students’ academic success and emotional health. 2．What do the two studies seem to show? A．Not all students take part in music lessons. B．Music plays an important role in students’ success. C．Students with great success like to attend music lessons. D．Students having music classes are better in all lessons. 3．The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that__________. A．different cultures have different styles of music. B．music makes cross-country communication possible. C．Japan has a good international relationship with America. D．Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．How to Get Music Back. B．Music Education in Schools. C．Music-a Bridge to Understanding. D．The Importance of Listening to Music. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了研究表明音乐课有助于提高学生的学业，此外音乐课也有助于增强学生的自豪感和自信心，音乐跨越语言、阶级和文化，使来自不同国家的学生相互联系。作者提出需要确保所有学生都参加必要的音乐课。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But without them, students’ academic growth and emotional health could suffer.(但如果没有音乐课程，学生的学术成长和情感健康可能会受到影响)”根据第二段中“Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in maths and reading skills than those without music classes.(布朗大学最近的研究表明，接受过音乐教育的学生在数学和阅读能力上比没有上过音乐课程的学生要好)”可知，音乐课能对学生的学业成功和情感健康都有好处。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in maths and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by the College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students' academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.(布朗大学最近的研究表明，接受过音乐教育的学生在数学和阅读能力上比没有上过音乐课程的学生要好。大学理事会的另一项研究发现，上音乐和艺术课的学生得分更高。学生的学业成功似乎取决于他们是否参加了音乐教育)”可知，这两项研究表明音乐在学生的成功中起着重要的作用。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries(界限). Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet(二重奏)with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally(口头上), they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. (音乐跨越了语言、阶级、文化和政治的界限。音乐让来自不同国家的学生联系在一起。例如，在学校的才艺表演中，一个新来的日本学生和一个美国同学演奏了钢琴二重唱。虽然他们不能口头交流，但他们能够读懂音乐来演奏二重唱)”可推知，第四段的例子主要说明了音乐使跨国交流成为可能。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.(音乐这份礼物是无价的。我们必须确保所有学生都有必要的音乐课。这个世界正在失去它的音乐，把音乐引入学校是找回它的第一步)”结合文章主要介绍了研究表明音乐课有助于提高学生的学业，此外音乐课也有助于增强学生的自豪感和自信心，音乐跨越语言、阶级和文化，使来自不同国家的学生相互联系。作者提出需要确保所有学生都参加必要的音乐课，可知，B选项“学校音乐教育”最符合文章标题。故选B。 （24-25高一下·河南郑州·开学考试）When it comes to traditional performing arts in Thailand, Khon (孔舞) is perhaps the most famous of them all. These days, Khon is performed everywhere from schools to special events, and even in tourist-frequented Thai restaurants. But one of the best places to experience a real Khon performance is Bangkok’s Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre. Apassara Nok-ork, 35, has been performing Khon in the theatre. She started studying traditional Thai dance at around four years old, choosing to focus on Khon from the age of 15. “We have to start learning Khon at a very young age,” Apassara says. “And we have to keep practicing the routine, and training our body often to keep our strength, since the clothes are really heavy. While we perform, if we didn’t have enough training, our situation of being tired would show and the audience would see it.” Among the most important skills a Khon performer must have is flexibility (灵活性). Even the hand movements that the female dancers carry out on stage are highly unnatural, which is the result of years of hard training. For Apassara, all of the pain and hard work over the years has been worth it. Khon has enabled her to perform at big festivals including government events, and it has also taken her to faraway places — she has traveled all over the world. She feels proud every time she presents this valuable art to people. She still feels excited every single time she performs, no matter how many times she has done it before. But like many of her coworkers, Apassara fears for its future. “I think it’s my duty to let people pay attention to Khon more, because I don’t know if it will disappear in the future or people may not care about it anymore,” says Apassara. “Currently, there is only a small group of people who are protecting it. I want everyone to help — both Thai people and foreigners.” 1．Why do Khon performers need to train their bodies according to Apassara? A．To look more beautiful on the stage. B．To deal with the heavy clothes. C．To have a longer working life. D．To avoid being out of shape. 2．What influence does Khon have on Apassara? A．It brings her many like-minded friends. B．It enables her to become famous worldwide. C．It enriches her life and builds her confidence. D．It makes her hand movements more flexible. 3．Which words can best describe Apassara? A．Honest and patient. B．Easy-going and humorous. C．Hard-working and responsible. D．Creative and professional. 4．What do Apassara’s words in the last paragraph suggest? A．Khon should be learned and protected by more people. B．The Thai government should offer more support. C．Khon is losing attraction among foreigners. D．Some methods have been taken to pass down Khon. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了泰国传统舞蹈孔舞，包括其表演地点，表演者Apassara Nok-ork的经历、表演者需具备的技能以及Apassara对孔舞未来发展的担忧和期望。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段中“And we have to keep practicing the routine, and training our body often to keep our strength, since the clothes are really heavy.(我们必须坚持练习，经常训练我们的身体来保持力量，因为衣服真的很重)”可知，孔舞表演者需要训练身体是为了应对沉重的服装，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Khon has enabled her to perform at big festivals including government events, and it has also taken her to faraway places — she has traveled all over the world.
