Unit4 Amazing Art阅读完形提高训练 - 2024-2025学年高一英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019必修第三册） 一、阅读理解 Passage1.Wang Sibo, the first person in Chinese light painting art, is good at creating light paintings in a Chinese style. Using light as ink and night as canvas (画布), he adds ancient cultural elements into modern art to create amazing works. For creators of light paintings, it does not require highly advanced painting skills. However, it is easier said than done. Wang Sibo once stated, “Light painting requires a strong sense of space and memory, as each stroke (笔画) of the brush is moving very fast and does not leave any mark. Therefore, one can only rely on their feelings and memories to paint in the air.” Since Wang Sibo began his journey in light painting, he has continuously improved his skills. He has a special fondness for Chinese dragons. To perfectly present the form and charm of dragons, Wang Sibo and his team devoted countless hours and efforts. After two years of hard work, they finally presented a surprising masterpiece. On a night in 2018, Wang Sibo and his team made history near Wangfujing Street, creating “Dragon Dance in China” — a 670-square-meter light painting that set the Guinness World Record for the “largest light painting pattern”. However, this was just the beginning. In 2021, they once again broke the world record for the largest light painting with “The Elegy of Light,” a 2021-square-meter masterpiece. Not stopping there, Wang Sibo made a new breakthrough in 2023 with “Awakening Lion,” completed by 328 people, earning the first-ever record for “the most people meanwhile creating a light painting.” In this way, Wang Sibo, with his Chinese-style light painting, has stood at the top of the world many times. For Wang Sibo, light painting is not only an art form, but also a means of expressing his inner self and releasing his emotions. He will continue to use light as a tool to illuminate (照亮) the path of traditional culture and convey its value and significance to the audience. 1．What is unique about Wang Sibo’s light painting? A．He only paints during the daytime. B．He needs special brushes and paints. C．He uses digital technology to create art. D．He combines traditional Chinese culture with modern art. 2．What can be inferred from Wang Sibo’s words? A．Light painting is quite challenging. B．Canvases of light paintings are in the air. C．Light painting can only be done by masters of painting. D．Creators of light painting should have strong emotions. 3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The significance of Wang Sibo’s light paintings. B．The unique charm of Wang Sibo’s light paintings. C．Wang Sibo’s remarkable achievements in light painting. D．The efforts Wang Sibo has made to set the Guinness World Record. 4．In which column of a magazine is this text most likely to appear? A．Pioneer. B．Fashion. C．Culture. D．Lifestyle. Passage2.Perhaps you’ve seen a giant sculpture of a fork, and wondered, how on earth is this art? I’ll bet you didn’t dare ask it out loud, for fear of looking awkward. Luckily for us, Bianca Bosker is willing to dive into the art world in Get the Picture, where she explores the spiritual richness art itself provides. She sets out to develop what art lovers call an Eye, a keen perception to separate the “good” art from the “bad”. She finds out that the art world can be tough for people who can’t afford art school and there’s a lot of mean behavior from those at the upper levels of the art world. Even though Bosker’s experiences might make you feel less sure about art, she keeps looking deeper and finds out that art can make people happy, whether they’re creating it or just looking at it. While expanding on the meaning of art, Bosker demonstrates that our brains have a “filter (过滤器)” that helps us quickly understand the world around us. . This filter lets us ignore some things and focus on others. This filter allows us to take mental shortcuts and dismiss certain visual details to rapidly process our chaotic environment. One function of art, Bosker writes, is to remove this filter to reexamine the world with renewed wonder. Art has a curing quality, a fact that’s seized upon by doctors who will ask the patients to visit art museums. Over two dozen medical schools require students to study paintings to avoid jumping to conclusions. Instead of lecturing from an authoritative angle, Bosker lets readers witness at eye level her growing clarity of art’s function. In the end, readers don’t get a complete answer for humankind’s fascination with art. Bosker instead offers her own interpretation:Art is a way to find beauty and heighten our appreciation for life. In laying bare the truth of an “Eye”, Bosker argues that art is everywhere and can be anything, as long as we’re open to letting what we see move us. By the last page, you’ll be forced to revisit that fork sculpture and behold the artwork with fresh eyes. 1．What is the main purpose of Get the Picuture? A．To criticize the sculpture art world. B．To argue that art has no curing quality. C．To explain how to appreciate art. D．To prove that art has no spiritual value. 2．What does the underlined word “Eye” in paragraph 2 mean? A．The ability to perceive art critically. B．The way artists sign their won work. C．A type of art school training program. D．A physical condition that affects vision. 3．Which of the following statements would Bosker most likely agree with? A．Art is limited to traditional artworks. B．Art can enhance the filter of our brain. C．Art therapy works better than taking medicine. D．Art has the power to affect us emotionally in various forms. 4．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．A story of an artist’s struggle. B．A book review on art exploration. C．A report on different types of art. D．A guide on how to be an art critic. Passage3.Chinese opera comes in various forms. Many tales are based on real history, and the performance keeps history alive today. Here are some of the important forms. Sichuan Opera Chengdu remains the main home of Sichuan Opera, while other influential regions include Chongqing, Guizhou, and Yunnan. One of its greatest arts is “Changing Faces”, and a top artist may change the face up to 20 times over the course of a performance, and even within the span of a minute! The opera is more like a play than other forms of Chinese opera, and the acting is highly demanding (需求，要求). The music accompanying Sichuan Opera usually features a small gong (锣) and an instrument called huqin, which is similar to erhu. Ping Opera Ping Opera originated in Tangshan, Hebei Province and is famous for its plain scripts, which are very easy for the audience to understand. Unlike other operas that focus on historical themes, Ping Opera focuses mostly on modern topics, which is unique in Chinese opera. Henan Opera There are more than 1,000 traditional repertoires (剧目) of Henan Opera, most of which come from historical stories. Others depict marriage, love, and morality. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, a lot of modern repertoires that depict reality have appeared, greatly enhancing Henan Opera. They are very natural, common, and close to ordinary people’s life and are filled with dramatic conflicts and complete stories. Huangmei Opera Huangmei Opera was derived from “Caicha Tune” that people sang while picking tea. Huangmei County in Hubei Province is famous for its tea and tea-picking songs; it is also where Huangmei Opera got its original name — “Caicha Opera”. It is a combination of local folk songs and dances. The costumes contain a distinctive local flavor of China’s ancient past. Artists wear ancient-style clothes since most Huangmei repertoires are based on Chinese folk tales. 1．What do we know about Sichuan Opera from the text? A．It requires excellent acting. B．It is intended for top artists. C．It was born in Chengdu City. D．It is performed in local dialects. 2．Which opera might be the friendliest to those who aren’t educated? A．Sichuan Opera. B．Ping Opera. C．Henan Opera. D．Huangmei Opera. 3．What do the last two forms of Chinese opera have in common? A．They keep up with the times. B．They just focus on historical events. C．They are very popular in Henan. D．They tell stories of common people. Passage4.Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable, changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days. Yet despite such variety, there are three factors that I think are the main contributors. The first is how we were brought up, or the musical background which surrounded us in our formative years (性格形成时期). The kinds of music that we were exposed to when we were small helped to create very specific mental patterns. However, even the most stable musical pattern can be changed by socio-cultural concerns, and these form the second contribution to our musical preferences. Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating (调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants. Whether you’re into heavy metal, or hip hop, or jazz, your preferences are guided in part by your desire to be a member of some social circle. These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously, without the listener being aware of it, but this is obviously not the case. Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. Especially today, with nearly unlimited access to all styles of music, we use music as a tool for regulating our emotions and moods. This is why when you want to study you might reach for something simple, without words. Or when you’re trying to relax before bed you’ll probably listen to something calming. They point to the fantastic power of music in our lives. 1．In writing paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A．present some examples B．make a comparison C．list a few reasons D．lead in the topic 2．What is the function of music in a group activity? A．It can make people familiar with a certain culture. B．It can make people calm down. C．It can bring people together. D．It can create specific mental patterns. 3．What could be inferred from paragraph 4? A．While reading, people are more likely to prefer rap music. B．Preferences for music are totally decided by uncontrolled factors. C．Subjective feeling plays an important role in people’s musical preferences. D．Musical preferences are formed unconsciously. Passage5.Every Saturday, at a church in Gothenburg, Sweden, hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds gather. They speak more than 20 languages. As they prepare their instruments, a smiling man walks in. He greets everyone, steps onto the stage, and raises his baton (指挥棒). Music fills the room. This is a music group called the Hope Orchestra, organized by John Smith. Since 2016, his free program has given homeless people from other countries, young people in need, and native Swedes the chance to learn an instrument, connect with others, and enrich their lives. Smith grew up in a poor family in Venezuela. To help his family make ends meet, he started selling ice cream when he was in primary school. Across the street was a program called Music for All, which provides free classical music training to children who have no chance to learn it. At 10, Smith joined the group. “I fell in love with music from my first class,” he said. “For me, playing the violin is like feeling electricity.” He also appreciated the group’s inclusive (包容的) philosophy. “It didn’t matter whether I was the boy selling ice cream in front of the school or the son or daughter of the mayor,” he said. Finally, Smith worked for Music for All to help spread the group’s innovative (创新的) teaching methods worldwide. Even near the Arctic Circle, he started Greenland’s first youth orchestra. It was this work that led him to first visit Sweden in 2015. In Stockholm, he was shocked to see many helpless people arriving in the country. The following year, he moved to Gothenburg where he offered a music group for those people. He started with 13 students. Most of them had no background in music, but he lent them instruments and began teaching them. He named the group the Hope Orchestra to inspire them. “For me, that’s what a music education is about,” said Smith. “It’s about giving you new opportunities to learn about life, about challenges, about dreaming, and about connecting you to your soul.” 1．What can you see in the Hope Orchestra? A．The performers on the stage are all locals. B．Young people are not allowed to take part in it. C．The rising baton marks the start of music. D．The conductor is unwilling to perform. 2．Why did Smith found Hope Orchestra? A．To make more people perform. B．To improve people’s life. C．To enrich the rich’s daily life. D．To help his family earn money. 3．How did Smith feel about the atmosphere of Music for All? A．Equal. B．Demanding. C．Popular. D．Ambitious. 4．What is Smith mainly talking about in the last paragraph? A．Music can contribute to the dreams. B．Music is of great significance. C．Music can make people successful. D．Music can unite you and me. Passage6.Learning to play a musical instrument can be more than just an enjoyable hobby. Whether it’s playing the piano, taking some guitar lessons, joining your school band, or starting a rock group, playing a musical instrument may help improve your mind. If people wonder what you’re up to, tell them you’re doing something important. You may be making yourself a little bit smarter. A new study shows that young children who learn to sing or play a musical instrument might have a slight advantage over those who don’t take music lessons. The study focused on 132 first graders in Canada. The researchers, from the University of Toronto at Mississauga, randomly (随机) put the students into three groups. One group took weekly lessons with instruments, such as violins and pianos. The second group took singing lessons. The third group went to drama class. All the participants took IQ tests at the beginning and at the end of the first grade. Overall, average scores went up for all groups. But kids who took piano or violin lessons scored higher marks. Their IQ scores went up 7.0 points on average, compared with 4.3 points for kids in the other two groups. The difference may seem small, and the music students probably won’t end up getting higher grades or having greater success later in life. Even so, the researchers believe the results are still meaningful. Playing a musical instrument requires kids to pay more attention and memorize things. The process of reading music and mastering finger placement is connected with fine motor skills and even better hand-eye coordination (协调). These types of experiences may have positive effects on the developing brains of young people. So, why not pick up an instrument like a guitar or violin? It’s a great way to improve yourself and bring more music into the world. After all, who wouldn’t want to make the world sound better? 1．What is the first paragraph mainly talking about? A．The skills needed to master different musical instruments. B．The idea that playing a musical instrument is beyond fun. C．The reasons why playing a musical instrument is enjoyable. D．The various ways to improve one’s mind and become smart. 2．How did the researchers get their findings? A．They interviewed college graduates. B．They collected students’ written reports. C．They observed students’ daily habits. D．They made comparisons among groups. 3．How can playing a musical instrument affect the children from the study? A．It helps them control hand movements better. B．It makes them get the highest grades in class. C．It enables them to become professional musicians. D．It makes them more popular with their classmates. 4．Where is this text probably from? A．A course plan. B．A music score. C．A science journal. D．A fashion magazine.

Passage9.THE VIRTUAL CHOIR Imagine having the opportunity to sing together with hundreds of other people while you are at home alone. You can do this in a virtual choir. Virtual choir members record themselves while they perform alone on video. These videos are uploaded onto the Internet, and then they are put together into one video that you can see online—a virtual choir. Anyone can take part in a virtual choir from anywhere—all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection. You do not even need a studio. A virtual choir helps connect ordinary people together. Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music. Many others do not have the chance to join a local choir. A virtual choir enables them to add their voices to those of other individuals and become part of the global community. It has proved to be a positive influence on the lives of many people. As one virtual choir member said, “Music helps me to ... forget my problems. With music, I become someone else.” The virtual choir was the idea of award - winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre. Born in the USA on 2 January 1970, Whitacre began studying music at the University of Nevada in 1988. He fell in love with Mozart’s classical music when he sang for the university choir. Moved by this music, he said, “It was like seeing color for the first time.” He graduated from university in 1995, and then received a master’s degree in musical composition from the Juilliard School in New York in 1997. Over the next 10 years, Whitacre’s original compositions began to become quite popular among choirs and singers. This led to the creation of the virtual choir. In 2009, Whitacre received a video of a girl who was singing one of his works. Inspired, he asked his fans to make videos, which he then joined together into one performance. His first virtual choir, “Lux Aurumque”, had 185 singers from 12 different countries. It has received millions of views on the Internet. Since then, the virtual choir has become a worldwide phenomenon. Whitacre’s next effort was the Virtual Youth Choir for UNICEF, which was first seen on stage on 23 July 2014 in the UK. Altogether, 2,292 young people from 80 countries joined in to sing Whitacre’s song “What If”. The virtual choir is a wonderful way for people around the world to sing with one voice and thus make the world a better place. 1．What do you need to take part in a virtual choir? A．A studio and an Internet connection. B．A video camera and a studio. C．Just a studio. D．A video camera and an Internet connection. 2．What inspired Eric Whitacre to creat the first virtual choir? A．A video of a girl singing his work. B．His love for Mozart’s music. C．His graduation from university. D．His master’s degree in musical composition. 3．How many singers were there in Eric Whitacre’s first virtual choir “Lux Aurumque”? A．12. B．185 C．2292. D．80. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．To introduce Eric Whitacre’s musical career. B．To explain how to reward a video for a virtual choir. C．To tell the story of the creation and development of the virtual choir. D．To encourage people to join local choirs. Passage10.Music has long been an important part of human culture, breaking through time, geography, and language. It’s a universal language that stirs emotions from joy to sadness. In the digital age, music buying has had a big change. Streaming services have become the main way of listening, offering an almost limitless library of tracks. This has not only made music easier to get but has also changed the way people find new artists. Platforms like Spotify and Apple Music research users’ listening habits and suggest new songs and artists in a matching way. Live music events are unique. Concerts and festivals bring people together, creating a sense of community. For musicians, live performances is not just a way to show their talent but also a very important source of income, especially in an age where album sales have gone down a lot. Music also plays an important part in education. Studies have shown that learning to play a musical instrument can improve cognitive(认知的)development, increase concentration, and promote creativity. In schools, music education is not only about teaching students how to play an instrument or sing but also about developing an appreciation for different musical cultures and styles. It helps students develop a sense of rhythm, harmony, and musical expression, which are useful skills in many aspects of life. However, the music industry also faces several challenges. The problem of privacy continues to be a major concern, as unauthorized(未经授权)downloading and sharing of music take away artists and record companies of their right earnings. Additionally, the growing competition in the digital music area means that it is becoming more difficult for artists to stand out and build a long-lasting career. 1．How do streaming services help people discover new music? A．By studying users’ listening habits. B．By recommending well-known artists. C．By presenting some live performances. D．By providing a fixed list of popular songs. 2．What’s a benefit of school music education? A．Earning from performances. B．Improving cognitive skills. C．Becoming professionals quickly. D．Learning fashionable instruments. 3．What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the music industry? A．Negative. B．Optimistic. C．Concerned. D．Indifferent. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Digital technology affects music buying. B．The history of music in different cultures. C．The various roles and challenges of music. D．Live music events matter music industry. 二、完形填空 Passage1. “Do what you love, not what others tell you is right,” said Georgia Lines. Recently.

Artist Thomas Deininger takes 1 items and changes them into 2 sculptures (雕塑) of birds, many of which are 3 or have died out, sending an important environmental message through his art. 4 with a glue gun (胶枪), Deininger joins the items to form a complex web that wouldn’t make much 5 until it is viewed from a certain side. Deininger told Jejune Magazine, “I see shapes and textures (纹理) of 6 objects when observing the natural world. Sometimes a material or action figure 7 the subject; sometimes it’s the other way around.” For Deininger, the climate problem is his biggest political and social 8 , and that’s why he 9 his artistic practice. “I have always been sensitive to these issues. But I was very shocked 10 plastics wash up first-hand on distant islands in the South Pacific when I was on a year-long surfing trip around the world,” Deininger says. Among the birds 11 in Deininger’s work is a wild bird named macaw, endangered due to deforestation and illegal hunting. While all of these birds have different 12 , colors, and textures, the artist has found a way to 13 show them thanks to his sharp sense of observation. “The whole thing is to raise 14 of our living world in any given emotional state,” the artist states. “The practice aims to remind us to 15 something for future generations.” 1．A．reviewed B．deserted C．exchanged D．filed 2．A．amazing B．confusing C．alarming D．embarrassing 3．A．documented B．identified C．updated D．endangered 4．A．Crowded B．Covered C．Equipped D．Changed 5．A．request B．progress C．description D．sense 6．A．positive B．absolute C．certain D．negative 7．A．stresses B．inspires C．challenges D．hides 8．A．future B．function C．position D．worry 9．A．put up B．searched for C．applied for D．took up 10．A．observing B．producing C．flooding D．directing 11．A．shown B．survived C．experimented D．imagined 12．A．weights B．systems C．tastes D．shapes 13．A．simply B．truthfully C．actually D．occasionally 14．A．comfort B．impression C．awareness D．balance 15．A．afford B．save C．create D．discover 1 / 17 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit4 Amazing Art阅读完形提高训练 - 2024-2025学年高一英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019必修第三册） 一、阅读理解 Passage1.Wang Sibo, the first person in Chinese light painting art, is good at creating light paintings in a Chinese style. Using light as ink and night as canvas (画布), he adds ancient cultural elements into modern art to create amazing works. For creators of light paintings, it does not require highly advanced painting skills. However, it is easier said than done. Wang Sibo once stated, “Light painting requires a strong sense of space and memory, as each stroke (笔画) of the brush is moving very fast and does not leave any mark. Therefore, one can only rely on their feelings and memories to paint in the air.” Since Wang Sibo began his journey in light painting, he has continuously improved his skills. He has a special fondness for Chinese dragons. To perfectly present the form and charm of dragons, Wang Sibo and his team devoted countless hours and efforts. After two years of hard work, they finally presented a surprising masterpiece. On a night in 2018, Wang Sibo and his team made history near Wangfujing Street, creating “Dragon Dance in China” — a 670-square-meter light painting that set the Guinness World Record for the “largest light painting pattern”. However, this was just the beginning. In 2021, they once again broke the world record for the largest light painting with “The Elegy of Light,” a 2021-square-meter masterpiece. Not stopping there, Wang Sibo made a new breakthrough in 2023 with “Awakening Lion,” completed by 328 people, earning the first-ever record for “the most people meanwhile creating a light painting.” In this way, Wang Sibo, with his Chinese-style light painting, has stood at the top of the world many times. For Wang Sibo, light painting is not only an art form, but also a means of expressing his inner self and releasing his emotions. He will continue to use light as a tool to illuminate (照亮) the path of traditional culture and convey its value and significance to the audience. 1．What is unique about Wang Sibo’s light painting? A．He only paints during the daytime. B．He needs special brushes and paints. C．He uses digital technology to create art. D．He combines traditional Chinese culture with modern art. 2．What can be inferred from Wang Sibo’s words? A．Light painting is quite challenging. B．Canvases of light paintings are in the air. C．Light painting can only be done by masters of painting. D．Creators of light painting should have strong emotions. 3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The significance of Wang Sibo’s light paintings. B．The unique charm of Wang Sibo’s light paintings. C．Wang Sibo’s remarkable achievements in light painting. D．The efforts Wang Sibo has made to set the Guinness World Record. 4．In which column of a magazine is this text most likely to appear? A．Pioneer. B．Fashion. C．Culture. D．Lifestyle. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。中国光绘艺术第一人王思博擅长中式光绘，凭空间感和记忆创作，其团队多次打破吉尼斯纪录，他以光绘传承传统文化。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Using light as ink and night as canvas (画布), he adds ancient cultural elements into modern art to create amazing works.(他以光为墨，以夜为画布，将古老的文化元素融入现代艺术之中，创作出令人惊叹的作品)”可知，王思博的光绘作品将中国传统文化与现代艺术相结合。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“Wang Sibo once stated, “Light painting requires a strong sense of space and memory, as each stroke (笔画) of the brush is moving very fast and does not leave any mark. Therefore, one can only rely on their feelings and memories to paint in the air.”(王思博曾表示：“光绘需要很强的空间感和记忆力，因为画笔的每一笔移动都非常迅速，不会留下任何痕迹。因此，只能依靠自己的感觉和记忆在空中作画。”)”可知，光绘创作相当具有挑战性。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据第四段“On a night in 2018, Wang Sibo and his team made history near Wangfujing Street, creating “Dragon Dance in China” — a 670-square-meter light painting that set the Guinness World Record for the “largest light painting pattern”. However, this was just the beginning. In 2021, they once again broke the world record for the largest light painting with “The Elegy of Light,” a 2021-square-meter masterpiece. Not stopping there, Wang Sibo made a new breakthrough in 2023 with “Awakening Lion,” completed by 328 people, earning the first-ever record for “the most people meanwhile creating a light painting.” In this way, Wang Sibo, with his Chinese-style light painting, has stood at the top of the world many times.(2018 年的一个夜晚，王思博和他的团队在王府井大街附近创造了历史，他们创作了“中国龙舞”——一幅 670 平方米的光影画作，该作品打破了“最大光影画图案”的吉尼斯世界纪录。然而这只是开始。2021 年，他们再次打破了最大光影画的纪录，创作了《光之哀歌》，这是一幅 2021 平方米的杰作。不仅如此，王思博在 2023 年又取得了新的突破，创作了《觉醒的狮子》，由 328 人共同完成，获得了“同时创作光影画的人数最多”的首个世界纪录。就这样，王思博凭借他的中式光影画，在世界舞台上多次登顶)”可知，第四段主要讲的是王思博在光绘方面取得的非凡成就。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“Wang Sibo, the first person in Chinese light painting art, is good at creating light paintings in a Chinese style. Using light as ink and night as canvas (画布), he adds ancient cultural elements into modern art to create amazing works.(王思博是首位在中国开展光绘艺术创作的人，他擅长以中国风格创作光绘作品。他以光为墨、以夜为画布，将古代文化元素融入现代艺术之中，创作出令人惊叹的作品)”结合文章主要说明了中国光绘艺术第一人王思博擅长中式光绘，凭空间感和记忆创作，其团队多次打破吉尼斯纪录，他以光绘传承传统文化。可知，这篇文章最有可能出现在《先锋》的杂志上，故选A。 Passage2.Perhaps you’ve seen a giant sculpture of a fork, and wondered, how on earth is this art? I’ll bet you didn’t dare ask it out loud, for fear of looking awkward. Luckily for us, Bianca Bosker is willing to dive into the art world in Get the Picture, where she explores the spiritual richness art itself provides. She sets out to develop what art lovers call an Eye, a keen perception to separate the “good” art from the “bad”. She finds out that the art world can be tough for people who can’t afford art school and there’s a lot of mean behavior from those at the upper levels of the art world. Even though Bosker’s experiences might make you feel less sure about art, she keeps looking deeper and finds out that art can make people happy, whether they’re creating it or just looking at it. While expanding on the meaning of art, Bosker demonstrates that our brains have a “filter (过滤器)” that helps us quickly understand the world around us. . This filter lets us ignore some things and focus on others. This filter allows us to take mental shortcuts and dismiss certain visual details to rapidly process our chaotic environment. One function of art, Bosker writes, is to remove this filter to reexamine the world with renewed wonder. Art has a curing quality, a fact that’s seized upon by doctors who will ask the patients to visit art museums. Over two dozen medical schools require students to study paintings to avoid jumping to conclusions. Instead of lecturing from an authoritative angle, Bosker lets readers witness at eye level her growing clarity of art’s function. In the end, readers don’t get a complete answer for humankind’s fascination with art. Bosker instead offers her own interpretation:Art is a way to find beauty and heighten our appreciation for life. In laying bare the truth of an “Eye”, Bosker argues that art is everywhere and can be anything, as long as we’re open to letting what we see move us. By the last page, you’ll be forced to revisit that fork sculpture and behold the artwork with fresh eyes. 1．What is the main purpose of Get the Picuture? A．To criticize the sculpture art world. B．To argue that art has no curing quality. C．To explain how to appreciate art. D．To prove that art has no spiritual value. 2．What does the underlined word “Eye” in paragraph 2 mean? A．The ability to perceive art critically. B．The way artists sign their won work. C．A type of art school training program. D．A physical condition that affects vision. 3．Which of the following statements would Bosker most likely agree with? A．Art is limited to traditional artworks. B．Art can enhance the filter of our brain. C．Art therapy works better than taking medicine. D．Art has the power to affect us emotionally in various forms. 4．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．A story of an artist’s struggle. B．A book review on art exploration. C．A report on different types of art. D．A guide on how to be an art critic. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了Bianca Bosker的《Get the Picture》一书，介绍了该书的主题，以及作者在书中的经历和发现。并总结了书的观点，讲述了这本书对读者的启发。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Perhaps you’ve seen a giant sculpture of a fork, and wondered, how on earth is this art? I’ll bet you didn’t dare ask it out loud, for fear of looking awkward. Luckily for us, Bianca Bosker is willing to dive into the art world in Get the Picture, where she explores the spiritual richness art itself provides.(也许你曾见过一个巨大的叉子雕塑，然后纳闷儿，这到底怎么能算是艺术呢？我打赌你不敢大声问出来，怕显得自己很傻。不过幸运的是，Bianca Bosker愿意在《Get the Picture》一书中深入探索艺术世界，揭示艺术本身所蕴含的丰富精神内涵。)”可知，Get the picture一书的主要目的是解释如何欣赏艺术。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据这个单词所在句“a keen perception to separate the “good” art from the “bad”(区分“好”与“坏”艺术的敏锐洞察力)”可推测，“Eye”是一种能够敏锐地分辨“好”艺术和“坏”艺术的感知能力，也就是批判性地感知艺术的能力。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Art has a curing quality, a fact that’s seized upon by doctors who will ask the patients to visit art museums. Over two dozen medical schools require students to study paintings to avoid jumping to conclusions. Instead of lecturing from an authoritative angle, Bosker lets readers witness at eye level her growing clarity of art’s function.(艺术有一种治愈的功效，医生们会抓住这一点，让病人去艺术博物馆参观。二十多所医学院要求学生学习绘画，以避免草率下结论。Bosker没有从权威的角度讲课，而是让读者亲眼目睹她对艺术功能日益清晰的认识)”和最后一段“Bosker instead offers her own interpretation: Art is a way to find beauty and heighten our appreciation for life. In laying bare the truth of an “Eye”, Bosker argues that art is everywhere and can be anything, as long as we’re open to letting what we see move us.(相反，Bosker给出了她自己的解释：艺术是一种发现美和提高我们对生活欣赏的方式。Bosker在揭示“艺术眼光”的真相时认为，艺术无处不在，可以是任何东西，只要我们愿意让我们所看到的东西感动我们。)”可知，Bosker最可能同意的是艺术具有以各种形式影响我们情感的力量。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇引出Bianca Bosker的《Get the Picture》这本书，接着介绍书中作者对艺术的探索，如培养“艺术眼光”、艺术世界的情况、艺术的功能等内容，最后总结书的观点及对读者的启发，符合书评对书籍内容进行介绍、分析和评价的特点，所以是一篇书评。故选B。 Passage3.Chinese opera comes in various forms. Many tales are based on real history, and the performance keeps history alive today. Here are some of the important forms. Sichuan Opera Chengdu remains the main home of Sichuan Opera, while other influential regions include Chongqing, Guizhou, and Yunnan. One of its greatest arts is “Changing Faces”, and a top artist may change the face up to 20 times over the course of a performance, and even within the span of a minute! The opera is more like a play than other forms of Chinese opera, and the acting is highly demanding (需求，要求). The music accompanying Sichuan Opera usually features a small gong (锣) and an instrument called huqin, which is similar to erhu. Ping Opera Ping Opera originated in Tangshan, Hebei Province and is famous for its plain scripts, which are very easy for the audience to understand. Unlike other operas that focus on historical themes, Ping Opera focuses mostly on modern topics, which is unique in Chinese opera. Henan Opera There are more than 1,000 traditional repertoires (剧目) of Henan Opera, most of which come from historical stories. Others depict marriage, love, and morality. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, a lot of modern repertoires that depict reality have appeared, greatly enhancing Henan Opera. They are very natural, common, and close to ordinary people’s life and are filled with dramatic conflicts and complete stories. Huangmei Opera Huangmei Opera was derived from “Caicha Tune” that people sang while picking tea. Huangmei County in Hubei Province is famous for its tea and tea-picking songs; it is also where Huangmei Opera got its original name — “Caicha Opera”. It is a combination of local folk songs and dances. The costumes contain a distinctive local flavor of China’s ancient past. Artists wear ancient-style clothes since most Huangmei repertoires are based on Chinese folk tales. 1．What do we know about Sichuan Opera from the text? A．It requires excellent acting. B．It is intended for top artists. C．It was born in Chengdu City. D．It is performed in local dialects. 2．Which opera might be the friendliest to those who aren’t educated? A．Sichuan Opera. B．Ping Opera. C．Henan Opera. D．Huangmei Opera. 3．What do the last two forms of Chinese opera have in common? A．They keep up with the times. B．They just focus on historical events. C．They are very popular in Henan. D．They tell stories of common people. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了中国戏曲的几种重要形式，包括川剧、评剧、豫剧和黄梅戏，分别阐述了它们的起源、特点和相关信息。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The opera is more like a play than other forms of Chinese opera, and the acting is highly demanding.(京剧比其他形式的中国戏曲更像一出戏，对表演的要求很高。)”可知，川剧更像话剧，对表演的要求很高。因此川剧需要出色的演技。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Ping Opera originated in Tangshan, Hebei Province and is famous for its plain scripts, which are very easy for the audience to understand(评剧起源于河北唐山，以其简单的剧本而闻名，观众很容易理解。)”可知，评剧起源于河北省唐山市，以其平实的剧本而闻名，观众很容易理解。因此，对于那些没有受过教育的人来说，评剧可能是最友好的。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据Henan Opera部分中“ They are very natural, common, and close to ordinary people’s life and are filled with dramatic conflicts and complete stories.(它们非常自然，普通，贴近普通人的生活，充满了戏剧性的冲突和完整的故事。)”以及根据Huangmei Opera部分中“Huangmei Opera was derived from “Caicha Tune” that people sang while picking tea. (黄梅戏源于采茶时唱的“采茶调”。)”以及最后一段中“Artists wear ancient-style clothes since most Huangmei repertoires are based on Chinese folk tales.(艺术家们穿着古装，因为大多数黄梅剧目都是根据中国民间故事改编的。)”可知，豫剧和黄梅戏曲都与普通人的生活紧密相关。故选D。 Passage4.Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable, changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days. Yet despite such variety, there are three factors that I think are the main contributors. The first is how we were brought up, or the musical background which surrounded us in our formative years (性格形成时期). The kinds of music that we were exposed to when we were small helped to create very specific mental patterns. However, even the most stable musical pattern can be changed by socio-cultural concerns, and these form the second contribution to our musical preferences. Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating (调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants. Whether you’re into heavy metal, or hip hop, or jazz, your preferences are guided in part by your desire to be a member of some social circle. These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously, without the listener being aware of it, but this is obviously not the case. Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. Especially today, with nearly unlimited access to all styles of music, we use music as a tool for regulating our emotions and moods. This is why when you want to study you might reach for something simple, without words. Or when you’re trying to relax before bed you’ll probably listen to something calming. They point to the fantastic power of music in our lives. 1．In writing paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A．present some examples B．make a comparison C．list a few reasons D．lead in the topic 2．What is the function of music in a group activity? A．It can make people familiar with a certain culture. B．It can make people calm down. C．It can bring people together. D．It can create specific mental patterns. 3．What could be inferred from paragraph 4? A．While reading, people are more likely to prefer rap music. B．Preferences for music are totally decided by uncontrolled factors. C．Subjective feeling plays an important role in people’s musical preferences. D．Musical preferences are formed unconsciously. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了影响人们音乐偏好的三个主要因素，包括成长环境、社会文化因素和个人主观感受。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable, changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days. Yet despite such variety, there are three factors that I think are the main contributors.(我们对这种或那种音乐的偏好显然是一个主观问题。它也可能极不稳定，不仅在一生中会发生变化，甚至在几个月，甚至几天的时间尺度上也会变化。然而，尽管有如此多的变化，我认为有三个因素是主要的影响因素)”可知，作者先阐述了音乐偏好的主观性和不稳定性，然后引出有三个主要影响因素，从而引出了文章的话题，所以作者第一段的目的是引入话题。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating (调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants.(音乐，可能从现代人类存在之初就被用于在各种活动中把人们聚集在一起，因为它在调节大量参与者的身体和情感反应方面非常有效)”可知，音乐在集体活动中的作用是能把人们聚集在一起。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously, without the listener being aware of it, but this is obviously not the case. Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening.(这两个因素似乎表明，音乐偏好是无意识地形成的，听者没有意识到这一点，但事实显然并非如此。在听音乐时，没有什么比我们自己的主观感受更重要了)”可推知，主观感受在人们的音乐偏好中起着重要作用。故选C项。 Passage5.Every Saturday, at a church in Gothenburg, Sweden, hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds gather. They speak more than 20 languages. As they prepare their instruments, a smiling man walks in. He greets everyone, steps onto the stage, and raises his baton (指挥棒). Music fills the room. This is a music group called the Hope Orchestra, organized by John Smith. Since 2016, his free program has given homeless people from other countries, young people in need, and native Swedes the chance to learn an instrument, connect with others, and enrich their lives. Smith grew up in a poor family in Venezuela. To help his family make ends meet, he started selling ice cream when he was in primary school. Across the street was a program called Music for All, which provides free classical music training to children who have no chance to learn it. At 10, Smith joined the group. “I fell in love with music from my first class,” he said. “For me, playing the violin is like feeling electricity.” He also appreciated the group’s inclusive (包容的) philosophy. “It didn’t matter whether I was the boy selling ice cream in front of the school or the son or daughter of the mayor,” he said. Finally, Smith worked for Music for All to help spread the group’s innovative (创新的) teaching methods worldwide. Even near the Arctic Circle, he started Greenland’s first youth orchestra. It was this work that led him to first visit Sweden in 2015. In Stockholm, he was shocked to see many helpless people arriving in the country. The following year, he moved to Gothenburg where he offered a music group for those people. He started with 13 students. Most of them had no background in music, but he lent them instruments and began teaching them. He named the group the Hope Orchestra to inspire them. “For me, that’s what a music education is about,” said Smith. “It’s about giving you new opportunities to learn about life, about challenges, about dreaming, and about connecting you to your soul.” 1．What can you see in the Hope Orchestra? A．The performers on the stage are all locals. B．Young people are not allowed to take part in it. C．The rising baton marks the start of music. D．The conductor is unwilling to perform. 2．Why did Smith found Hope Orchestra? A．To make more people perform. B．To improve people’s life. C．To enrich the rich’s daily life. D．To help his family earn money. 3．How did Smith feel about the atmosphere of Music for All? A．Equal. B．Demanding. C．Popular. D．Ambitious. 4．What is Smith mainly talking about in the last paragraph? A．Music can contribute to the dreams. B．Music is of great significance. C．Music can make people successful. D．Music can unite you and me. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了John Smith在瑞典哥德堡创办Hope Orchestra的故事，该乐团为来自不同背景的人提供免费音乐教育，旨在通过音乐改善人们的生活，并强调音乐教育的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“He greets everyone, steps onto the stage, and raises his baton (指挥棒). Music fills the room. (他向每个人打招呼，走上舞台，举起指挥棒。音乐充满了房间)”可知，在Hope Orchestra中，指挥棒的举起标志着音乐的开始。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Since 202, his free program has given homeless people from other countries, young people in need, and native Swedes the chance to learn an instrument, connect with others, and enrich their lives. (自202年以来，他的免费项目为来自其他国家的无家可归者、有需要的年轻人和瑞典本地人提供了学习乐器、与他人交流和丰富生活的机会)”可知，Smith创办Hope Orchestra的目的是为了改善人们的生活。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“He also appreciated the group’s inclusive (包容的) philosophy. “It didn’t matter whether I was the boy selling ice cream in front of the school or the son or daughter of the mayor,” he said. (他也欣赏这个团体的包容理念。“我是在学校门口卖冰淇淋的男孩，还是市长的儿子或女儿，这都不重要，”他说)”可推知，Smith认为Music for All的氛围是平等的。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段““For me, that’s what a music education is about,” said Smith. “It’s about giving you new opportunities to learn about life, about challenges, about dreaming, and about connecting you to your soul.” (“对我来说，这就是音乐教育的意义所在，”Smith说。“它是关于给你新的机会去了解生活，了解挑战，了解梦想，以及将你与你的灵魂联系起来。”)”可知，Smith在最后一段主要谈论的是音乐的重要性。故选B项。 Passage6.Learning to play a musical instrument can be more than just an enjoyable hobby. Whether it’s playing the piano, taking some guitar lessons, joining your school band, or starting a rock group, playing a musical instrument may help improve your mind. If people wonder what you’re up to, tell them you’re doing something important. You may be making yourself a little bit smarter. A new study shows that young children who learn to sing or play a musical instrument might have a slight advantage over those who don’t take music lessons. The study focused on 132 first graders in Canada. The researchers, from the University of Toronto at Mississauga, randomly (随机) put the students into three groups. One group took weekly lessons with instruments, such as violins and pianos. The second group took singing lessons. The third group went to drama class. All the participants took IQ tests at the beginning and at the end of the first grade. Overall, average scores went up for all groups. But kids who took piano or violin lessons scored higher marks. Their IQ scores went up 7.0 points on average, compared with 4.3 points for kids in the other two groups. The difference may seem small, and the music students probably won’t end up getting higher grades or having greater success later in life. Even so, the researchers believe the results are still meaningful. Playing a musical instrument requires kids to pay more attention and memorize things. The process of reading music and mastering finger placement is connected with fine motor skills and even better hand-eye coordination (协调). These types of experiences may have positive effects on the developing brains of young people. So, why not pick up an instrument like a guitar or violin? It’s a great way to improve yourself and bring more music into the world. After all, who wouldn’t want to make the world sound better? 1．What is the first paragraph mainly talking about? A．The skills needed to master different musical instruments. B．The idea that playing a musical instrument is beyond fun. C．The reasons why playing a musical instrument is enjoyable. D．The various ways to improve one’s mind and become smart. 2．How did the researchers get their findings? A．They interviewed college graduates. B．They collected students’ written reports. C．They observed students’ daily habits. D．They made comparisons among groups. 3．How can playing a musical instrument affect the children from the study? A．It helps them control hand movements better. B．It makes them get the highest grades in class. C．It enables them to become professional musicians. D．It makes them more popular with their classmates. 4．Where is this text probably from? A．A course plan. B．A music score. C．A science journal. D．A fashion magazine. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现学习演奏乐器不仅能培养爱好，还能促进儿童智力发展。 1．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Learning to play a musical instrument can be more than just an enjoyable hobby. Whether it’s playing the piano, taking some guitar lessons, joining your school band, or starting a rock group, playing a musical instrument may help improve your mind.(学习演奏一种乐器可以不仅仅是一项令人愉快的爱好。无论是弹钢琴、上吉他课、加入学校乐队，还是组建一支摇滚乐队，演奏乐器都有助于提升你的思维能力。)” 可知，第一段主要讲述学习乐器不只是有趣，还有其他益处。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“The researchers, from the University of Toronto at Mississauga, randomly (随机) put the students into three groups. One group took weekly lessons with instruments, such as violins and pianos. The second group took singing lessons. The third group went to drama class.(来自多伦多大学密西沙加分校的研究人员随机将学生分成三组。一组每周上乐器课，如小提琴和钢琴。第二组上唱歌课。第三组上戏剧课)” 以及第四段“All the participants took IQ tests at the beginning and at the end of the first grade. Overall, average scores went up for all groups. But kids who took piano or violin lessons scored higher marks.(所有参与者都在一年级开始和结束时参加了智商测试。总体来看，所有小组的平均分数都有所提高，但接受钢琴或小提琴课程的孩子得分更高。)” 可知，研究人员通过对不同组进行比较得出研究结果。选项D。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“The process of reading music and mastering finger placement is connected with fine motor skills and even better hand - eye coordination (协调).(识谱和掌握手指位置的过程与精细运动技能甚至更好的手眼协调能力相关)” 可知，演奏乐器能帮助孩子更好地控制手部动作。故选A。 4．推理判断题。介绍了一项关于学习乐器对孩子影响的研究。研究表明学习乐器不仅是爱好，还可能使孩子更聪明，通过对加拿大一年级学生分组实验，发现学习钢琴或小提琴的孩子智商分数提升更明显，因为学习乐器能锻炼孩子多种能力。所以短文来自科学期刊。故选C。 Passage7.The Great Escape Festival The Great Escape, the UK’s leading festival for new music, will take place in Brighton from 14 to 17 May, hosting over 450 up-and-coming artists in more than 35 walkable venues (地点) around the city.

You can do this in a virtual choir. Virtual choir members record themselves while they perform alone on video. These videos are uploaded onto the Internet, and then they are put together into one video that you can see online—a virtual choir. Anyone can take part in a virtual choir from anywhere—all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection. You do not even need a studio. A virtual choir helps connect ordinary people together. Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music. Many others do not have the chance to join a local choir. A virtual choir enables them to add their voices to those of other individuals and become part of the global community. It has proved to be a positive influence on the lives of many people. As one virtual choir member said, “Music helps me to ... forget my problems. With music, I become someone else.” The virtual choir was the idea of award - winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre. Born in the USA on 2 January 1970, Whitacre began studying music at the University of Nevada in 1988. He fell in love with Mozart’s classical music when he sang for the university choir. Moved by this music, he said, “It was like seeing color for the first time.” He graduated from university in 1995, and then received a master’s degree in musical composition from the Juilliard School in New York in 1997. Over the next 10 years, Whitacre’s original compositions began to become quite popular among choirs and singers. This led to the creation of the virtual choir. In 2009, Whitacre received a video of a girl who was singing one of his works. Inspired, he asked his fans to make videos, which he then joined together into one performance. His first virtual choir, “Lux Aurumque”, had 185 singers from 12 different countries. It has received millions of views on the Internet. Since then, the virtual choir has become a worldwide phenomenon. Whitacre’s next effort was the Virtual Youth Choir for UNICEF, which was first seen on stage on 23 July 2014 in the UK. Altogether, 2,292 young people from 80 countries joined in to sing Whitacre’s song “What If”. The virtual choir is a wonderful way for people around the world to sing with one voice and thus make the world a better place. 1．What do you need to take part in a virtual choir? A．A studio and an Internet connection. B．A video camera and a studio. C．Just a studio. D．A video camera and an Internet connection. 2．What inspired Eric Whitacre to creat the first virtual choir? A．A video of a girl singing his work. B．His love for Mozart’s music. C．His graduation from university. D．His master’s degree in musical composition. 3．How many singers were there in Eric Whitacre’s first virtual choir “Lux Aurumque”? A．12. B．185 C．2292. D．80. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．To introduce Eric Whitacre’s musical career. B．To explain how to reward a video for a virtual choir. C．To tell the story of the creation and development of the virtual choir. D．To encourage people to join local choirs. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了虚拟合唱团的相关内容，包括其参与方式、创作者埃里克・惠特克的经历，以及虚拟合唱团的诞生过程和发展情况，强调它是一种让全球人们共同歌唱的奇妙方式。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Anyone can take part in a virtual choir from anywhere—all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection.

It’s a universal language that stirs emotions from joy to sadness. In the digital age, music buying has had a big change. Streaming services have become the main way of listening, offering an almost limitless library of tracks. This has not only made music easier to get but has also changed the way people find new artists. Platforms like Spotify and Apple Music research users’ listening habits and suggest new songs and artists in a matching way. Live music events are unique. Concerts and festivals bring people together, creating a sense of community. For musicians, live performances is not just a way to show their talent but also a very important source of income, especially in an age where album sales have gone down a lot. Music also plays an important part in education. Studies have shown that learning to play a musical instrument can improve cognitive(认知的)development, increase concentration, and promote creativity. In schools, music education is not only about teaching students how to play an instrument or sing but also about developing an appreciation for different musical cultures and styles. It helps students develop a sense of rhythm, harmony, and musical expression, which are useful skills in many aspects of life. However, the music industry also faces several challenges. The problem of privacy continues to be a major concern, as unauthorized(未经授权)downloading and sharing of music take away artists and record companies of their right earnings. Additionally, the growing competition in the digital music area means that it is becoming more difficult for artists to stand out and build a long-lasting career. 1．How do streaming services help people discover new music? A．By studying users’ listening habits. B．By recommending well-known artists. C．By presenting some live performances. D．By providing a fixed list of popular songs. 2．What’s a benefit of school music education? A．Earning from performances. B．Improving cognitive skills. C．Becoming professionals quickly. D．Learning fashionable instruments. 3．What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the music industry? A．Negative. B．Optimistic. C．Concerned. D．Indifferent. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Digital technology affects music buying. B．The history of music in different cultures. C．The various roles and challenges of music. D．Live music events matter music industry. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了音乐在现代社会中的各种角色以及所面临的挑战。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Platforms like Spotify and Apple Music research users’ listening habits and suggest new songs and artists in a matching way.(像 Spotify 和 Apple Music 这样的平台研究用户的收听习惯，并以匹配的方式推荐新歌和新艺人)” 可知，流媒体服务通过研究用户的收听习惯来帮助人们发现新音乐。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段 “Studies have shown that learning to play a musical instrument can improve cognitive (认知的) development, increase concentration, and promote creativity. In schools, music education is not only about teaching students how to play an instrument or sing but also about developing an appreciation for different musical cultures and styles.(研究表明，学习演奏乐器可以改善认知发展、提高注意力并促进创造力。在学校，音乐教育不仅是教学生如何演奏乐器或唱歌，还包括培养对不同音乐文化和风格的欣赏能力)” 可知，学校音乐教育的一个好处是改善认知技能。故选 B。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段 “However, the music industry also faces several challenges. The problem of privacy continues to be a major concern, as unauthorized (未经授权) downloading and sharing of music take away artists and record companies of their right earnings. Additionally, the growing competition in the digital music area means that it is becoming more difficult for artists to stand out and build a long - lasting career.(然而，音乐产业也面临一些挑战。隐私问题仍然是一个主要担忧，因为未经授权的音乐下载和分享剥夺了艺术家和唱片公司应得的收入。此外，数字音乐领域日益激烈的竞争意味着艺术家越来越难以脱颖而出并建立长久的职业生涯)” 可知，作者指出音乐产业面临诸多挑战，表达了对其未来的担忧。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章开篇提到音乐是人类文化的重要组成部分，接着阐述了在数字时代音乐消费方式的变化，流媒体服务对发现新音乐的影响;现场音乐活动的独特体验和重要性;音乐在教育中的作用;最后指出音乐产业面临盗版和竞争等挑战。综合来看，文章主要讲的是音乐在现代社会中的各种角色以及所面临的挑战，故选C。 二、完形填空 Passage1. “Do what you love, not what others tell you is right,” said Georgia Lines.
