习题讲评(一)　主题阅读训练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·重庆调研)Accompanied by typical Jin Opera (晋剧) music, a red­faced performer with a long beard showed up at the hall of a high school in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. All the students in the hall stood up and craned (伸长) their necks to get a better look. In their eyes, Jin Opera was quite something from the past. They are not alone. It goes without saying that kids nowadays are much more familiar with popular music than traditional opera, which is why performing artist Wu Lingyun, together with his colleagues, goes to campuses to promote the art. Wu Lingyun is best known for his role as Guan Gong, a general during the late Han Dynasty period. He began playing the role in 1985, at the age of 21, and has been associated with it ever since. Wu was significantly influenced by his parents, both of whom are also famous Jin Opera performers.With a natural talent for performing and great effort, Wu was soon recognized by audiences and later awarded the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2000, the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts. Given Wu's considerable fame, one might think he would now prefer to enjoy a life of leisure. However, this is far from the case. Deep down, Wu has a big dream. He pictures a growing future for Jin Opera. Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin Opera could become a worldwide art. Wu has also made some changes to the traditional art to make it up­to­date.“Jin Opera should keep pace with the times if we want to bring it back to life and get the young generation to accept it，”he says. “An art without life can never survive.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了著名晋剧表演家武凌云。 1．How did the students react to the performance at the hall?

On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain, she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows, painted in vivid red and black.More striking even than the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans' supposedly primitive ancestors. Today, nearly 400 caves across Europe have been found decorated with hand stencils (用模板印的文字或图案), strange symbols and beautiful images of animals created by these skillful artists. The discoveries led to the view that artistic talent arose after modern humans arrived in the region some 40,000 years ago, as part of a “cultural explosion” reflecting a flowering of the human mind. But more recent evidence has blown this idea out of the water. For a start, modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe. What's more, a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity. Local people have long known that the caves of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, contain many painted images. Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65,000 years ago, but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures. A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert, now at Griffith University in Australia, upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art. Using this technique in seven caves, they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old, making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time. This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia. These included a hunting scene created at least 43,900 years ago, and by far the oldest descriptive artwork. “When we found that image, we were absolutely delighted, but when it turned out to be that old, we were almost jumping with joy，”says Adam Brumm, also at Griffith University. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。印度尼西亚苏拉威西岛洞穴壁画的发现挑战了欧洲是艺术创作中心的观点，揭示了人类艺术才能的历史更为悠久。 5．What did the girl find in the cave? A．Wild animals. B．Ancient images. C．Painting techniques. D．Recording artists. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows ...the images was their age: they were made thousands of years ago”可知，小姑娘在山洞中发现了古画，故B项正确。 6．What was a misunderstanding removed by recent evidence about the cave art? A．It can be traced back to Europe. B．It reflected the flowering of human minds. C．Modern humans led to its rise in Indonesia. D．Modern humans might not have been real artists. 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第二段的“modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe ...dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity”可知，证据表明现代人类不是欧洲第一批艺术家，而欧洲也不是创造力的中心，故“洞穴艺术可以追溯到欧洲”是个误解。 7．What does the underlined word “upended” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Proved. B．Strengthened. C．Overturned. D．Overemphasized. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。分析语境可知，画线词后面的宾语this idea指的是上文中的“人们认为古画好像不可能在高温环境中被保存下来，所以这项艺术不会很古老”。根据下文中的“they found a hand stencil was at least 39,900 years old”可知，研究人员利用技术手段推翻了之前人们认为洞穴里的艺术不可能很古老的说法，故C项与画线词的意义最为接近。 8．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．The amazing discoveries. B．The researchers' expectations. C．The benefits of the technique. D．The description of the cave art. 解析：选A　段落大意题。根据最后一段中的“This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia.”和Adam Brumm的话“When we found that image ...we were almost jumping with joy”可以看出，本段主要讲到了研究人员在印度尼西亚的神奇新发现，故A项正确。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2025·福建适应性练习)Aesthetic (审美的) education aims to enhance aesthetic perception, experience aesthetic qualities, stimulate aesthetic creativity, and promote aesthetic judgement. If kids want to be able to appreciate natural wonders, shapes and pictures, they must be able to first notice them.This is why the development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the primary task of aesthetic education. 9 Kids are incapable of noticing particular shapes if their ability to notice objects and forms is undeveloped.The aesthetic relationship begins with the noticing of aesthetic qualities. 10 This means that they generate emotional responses like excitement and joy, enriching individuals' emotional lives and inspiring artistic expression.The ability to experience feelings aesthetically must also be developed.The cognitive (认知的) elements of the processes that we experience during noticing must also include emotional tones with which we form impressions. 11 The aim of this task is, with the aid of aesthetic qualities, to enrich the emotional life of children and young people and the development of a sense for aesthetic values. It is essential to allow children to participate in activities that will develop their creative abilities. 12 Instead, it is about creativity in the creation of aesthetic values in everyday life.We are not simply born with creative abilities which have to be developed. Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities demands formed evaluation criteria.In order to reveal beauty's true value, we must be familiar with its particularities.Throughout the process of aesthetic education, various types of knowledge, abilities and evaluation criteria must be applied. 13 A．Aesthetic qualities have to be felt. B．Beauty can be found all around us. C．The beautiful will be likely to be created. D．And it is these that the aesthetic experience is built upon. E．In some way, this is the ability to perceive aesthetic qualities. F．This way, the child will develop the foundations for assessing the beautiful. G．This is not so much about creating aesthetic abilities in the sense of training artists. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。审美教育的目的是增强审美感知、体验审美品质、激发审美创造力和提高审美判断力。 9．选B　空前讲到了培养发现美的能力是审美教育的首要任务，而空后讲到了如果孩子们注意物体和形状的能力不发达，那么他们就不能注意到特定的形状，B项“美就在我们身边”讲到了美的来源，既能承接上文，也能引出下文。 10．选A　首段讲到了审美教育的四个目的，结合上下段可知，该段对应第二个目的：体验审美品质，A项“审美品质必须被感知”承接上文，且能引出空后的“这意味着它们会产生兴奋和快乐等情感反应，丰富个人的情感生活，激发艺术表达”。 11．选D　空前讲到了“我们在注意美的过程中所经历的认知元素也必须包括我们形成印象时使用的情感色彩”，因此，空处讲到的应该是必须包括情感色彩的原因，D项“它们正是审美经历形成的基础”符合语境。 12．选G　根据空后的“Instead”可知，空处与下文形成了转折，结合空后的“相反，它是关于在日常生活中创造审美价值的创造力”可知，G项“这并不是关于在训练艺术家的意义上创造审美能力的事”符合语境。 13．选F　结合空前的“在整个审美教育的过程中，必须运用各种类型的知识、能力和评价标准”可知，空处应该会讲到这样做的意义和影响，故F项“这样，孩子就会为评估美奠定基础”符合语境。 习题讲评(二)　语用综合训练 Ⅰ.语法填空 (2025·南京模拟)China National Traditional Orchestra (管弦乐队) launched its youth theater group in Beijing on Sunday.At the opening, centering around “Bringing Chinese stories to the world”，the group's new productions and touring plans for this year 1 (announce)． In January, the orchestra, QFunTheater and Guangzhou Opera House co­produced a children's play Ben Cao Gang Mu.From this cooperation, the orchestra and QFunTheater decided to create a youth theater group, 2 (aim) to integrate Chinese traditional music with theater and tell Chinese stories 3 the angle of children and teenagers.
