习题讲评(一)　主题阅读训练 A (2025·惠州模拟)Hearing live music may be more emotional than listening to a recording of the same tune because it brings about greater activity in the part of the brain linked to processing emotions. Sascha Frühholz at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his team composed 12 pieces of music, each lasting 30 seconds. Half were written with the aim of expressing negative emotions, such as sadness and anger. These were slower, less harmonious and included more minor chords (和弦) than the remaining songs, written to arouse positive emotions. The researchers then employed 27 people who weren't musically trained, to listen to these 12 pieces twice — once performed by a live pianist, which the participants heard through a speaker, and once as a recording. The order they listened to them was randomly assigned, with 30 seconds of silence in between. People didn't know when they were hearing a recording or live music. While listening to the music, the participants lay in an MRI scanner (扫描仪) so the team could monitor their brain activity. The pianist then adapted the volume and speed of the piece according to the brain activity. For example, if someone was showing little activity in response to a positive piece of music, the pianist might play louder. “Recorded music is not adaptive to now a listener who is responding, but live pianists often adapt the music to the audience to get the best response from them，” says Frühholz. Live performances of both the negative and positive pieces led to increased brain activity in the left amygdala, the region of the brain that is strongly linked to assigning sensory stimuli, such as sounds, to certain emotions. The recorded tunes caused much less, and more inconsistent, activity in the left amygdala. This matched how emotive the participants rated each piece of music after the experiment. The findings show that live music strengthens our emotional response, probably due to its free-flowing and active nature. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，听现场音乐比听录音音乐更能激发大脑情绪处理区域的活动，这可能是因为现场音乐更具互动性和流动性。 1．Which aspect of live music does Sascha Frühholz's research focus on? A．The technical skill of live musicians. B．The popularity of live music concerts. C．Its emotional impact on listeners' brain.

Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. The reverse led me to recognize the similarities between innovation in the arts and the sciences. In sciences and arts alike, creativity appears magical as an unpredictable fountain of inspiration from the subconscious (潜意识). Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. As a result, many innovators are laughed at and denied the recognition they deserve when they need it the most. There are many examples of such circumstances. In 1933 Fritz Zwicky inferred the existence of “dark matter”， but it took four decades for this concept to gain recognition within the astronomy community. Vincent van Gogh was considered a mad man and a failure throughout his life. Today, his paintings are among the most expensive ever sold, though. Typically, life offers two ways of acquiring objects. One is by collecting available items, and the other is by creating things that never existed before. Whereas most items on the shelves of supermarkets are mass-produced, products that are newly created by artists or scientists are originally unique. Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. The initial circumstances are a reminder of an admirable baby. It is fascinating for a scientist or an artist to watch the interaction of their creation with the world, just as it is for parents to watch their children. Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了艺术和科学中的创新与创造性，指出这两者常常领先于时代，并能随时间积累价值，倡导大家参与创造性活动。 5．Which can best replace the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1? A．Priority.　　　　 B．Assumption. C．Shift. D．Preference. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist.”可知，作者和这些艺术家之间的身份发生了转变，因此画线词指这种“转变”，与shift意思相近。 6．What can best describe creativity in sciences and arts? A．It tends to be forecastable. B．It mirrors common beliefs. C．It usually leads the times. D．It enjoys instant acceptance. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Its unexpected content ...is ahead of its time.”可知，科学和艺术的创新常常超前于时代，是引领时代的。 7．What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．Creative works withstand the test of time. B．Mass-produced items are preferable. C．Old wine can't be put into new bottles. D．Inventiveness starts from childhood. 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第四段中“Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations.”可知，创造性的作品能够随时间提升其价值。由此可知，它们能经受时间的考验。 8．What's the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To clarify a concept. B．To launch an appeal. C．To offer an entertainment. D．To advocate a lifestyle. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，这一段鼓励大家参与到创造性工作中，享受创造带来的乐趣和意义。因此，其目的是发起一项呼吁。 习题讲评(二)　语用综合训练 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Ⅰ.语法填空 (2025·温州模拟)The painting Prosperous Suzhou, ink and color on paper, 1,241cm in length and 36.5cm in width, is 1 (current) housed in the Liaoning Provincial Museum.

I had been looking forward to this trip for months and had packed everything I needed for my much-anticipated painting trip. Brushes, canvases (画板), and a column of watercolor paints — my most cherished companions on this creative journey — were carefully placed in my carry-on luggage. As I approached the security checkpoint, a sense of unease began to settle within me. I couldn't help thinking that I must have forgotten something. I checked my passport and air ticket. Everything was in their place. Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, and I realized I had forgotten about the strict rules on liquids in carry-on baggage. I felt a sense of panic as the realization dawned upon me — I would have to part ways with my beloved painting supplies. Unwillingly, I handed over my paints to the stern-faced (面无表情的) security officer, knowing that they were victims of my carelessness. I felt as if my creative spirit and good mood for the trip had been swept away in a gust of wind. I couldn't help complaining to him about how important those paints were to me and how much I had been looking forward to this trip. The officer's straight face provided no comfort as he informed me that I could collect my items upon my return in a week. Days passed as I silently counted the minutes until I would be reunited with my artistic companions. On the day of my long-awaited return, my heart fluttered with nervous anticipation. As I exited the airplane and made my way to the baggage claim area, a familiar face caught my eye. Amongst the sea of strangers, a security officer stood, holding a package that resembled my beloved art supplies. My eyes widened in disbelief, my steps quickening with each step. Could it be possible that he had gone through the trouble of saving my cherished materials? As I reached the security officer, he met my gaze (凝视) with an unexpected smile. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 With a knowing look, he handed me the package containing my precious tubes of paint.　 　 　 　 　 　 I left the airport that day, feeling a great desire to share my story on the Internet.　 　 　 　 　 参考范文： With a knowing look, he handed me the package containing my precious tubes of paint. I expressed my gratitude with tears welling up in my eyes. “I took the liberty of looking up your return date and time，” the security officer explained. “I wanted to make sure I was here to return these to you so that you could continue pursuing your passion without any interruptions.” Consumed by his thoughtfulness and the weight of his gesture, I said excitedly，“Thank you. They mean a lot to me.” I left the airport that day, feeling a great desire to share my story on the Internet. When I arrived home and took out my tubes of paint, I immediately knew what to do. I drew a picture of the security officer and posted it on social media, telling the whole story and conveying my gratitude. It wasn't just about the art supplies; it was about a stranger who had gone out of his way to lend a helping hand to another stranger. The post became a hit and many people commented below, sharing their heart-warming stories. It is these small gestures that remind us of the beauty and goodness within all of us. 7 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
