课时作业(十四)　选择性必修第一册　Unit 2　The universal language 一、阅读理解 Every music therapist has a wealth of stories about that beautiful musical moment when art and science come together to create an awareness，an accomplishment，a breakthrough.I want to share highlights of music therapy，which helped my family find outlets and insights through our “extremely painful journey”． My father，Joe Altman lived his life with strength and determination.As complications associated with diabetes diminished his physical capabilities，his unbeatable will to fight the disease completely hammered away.As a World War Ⅱ Navy Seal，Joe Altman lived by a simple rule：When you get to the end of your rope，tie a knot(结) and hang on. When dementia struck hard and violently broke through Dad's spirit，music therapist Alessandro Ricciarelli entered his life.Armed with six strings attached to a wooden guitar，Alessandro surpassed(超过) the capabilities of the most advanced medical technology. Each time Alessandro walked through the door，an invisible wall formed around them，creating a comfortable space in which a trusting bond of friendship would quickly form.Alessandro brought him with happiness，encouragement，added a sense of meaning and purpose to Dad's life，and，in doing so revived(使复原) his spirit.In a most gentle way，Alessandro treated Joe with the greatest dignity and respect. Alessandro's action was not limited to actual hospital visits；he took personal time to learn songs that were relevant to Dad and made recordings of their sessions together to be enjoyed at any given time.Alessandro appreciated the power of positive thoughts，and with his kind words，a smile，compassion(同情)，and a true desire to make Dad happy，he encouraged Dad's participation，leaving us with cherished memories of my father having one last chance to express himself through music，smiling and enjoying life. In a very real sense，Alessandro was that knot at the end of the rope on to which Dad grabbed.I am forever grateful to the Music Therapy Programme at New York University Medical Centre，more specifically，to Mr Alessandro Ricciarelli. 1．What does the underlined word “diminished” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。作者父亲的痴呆症来袭并猛烈地击垮父亲的精神时，音乐治疗师Alessandro Ricciarelli用音乐给他们留下了爸爸最后一次通过音乐表达自己的珍贵回忆，对此作者表示感谢。 1．C　[解析]词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“As complications associated with diabetes(由于与糖尿病相关的并发症)”以及后面内容“his unbeatable will to fight the disease completely hammered away(他与疾病作斗争的不可战胜的意志被彻底磨灭了)”可知，造成父亲抗击疾病意志消失的原因应是与糖尿病相关的并发症“削弱”了作者父亲的身体机能，所以画线单词的意思应是“削弱”。故选C。 2．A　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As a World War Ⅱ Navy Seal，Joe Altman lived by a simple rule：When you get to the end of your rope，tie a knot and hang on.(作为一名二战海豹突击队队员，Joe Altman遵循着一条简单的规则：哪怕山穷水尽、走投无路，也要努力挣扎，坚持下去。)”可知，作者的父亲曾在军队服役。故选A。 3．D　[解析]推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Alessandro's action was not limited to actual hospital visits；he took personal time to learn songs that were relevant to Dad and made recordings of their sessions together to be enjoyed at any given time.(Alessandro的行动并不局限于实际的医院探访；他会花个人时间学习与父亲有关的歌曲，并将这些歌曲录制下来，以便在任意时间欣赏。)”可知，Alessandro为父亲付出很多。由此判断，Alessandro是一个乐于奉献的人。故选D。 4．A　[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I am forever grateful to the Music Therapy Programme at New York University Medical Centre，more specifically，to Mr Alessandro Ricciarelli.(我永远感谢纽约大学医学中心的音乐治疗项目，更具体地说，感谢Alessandro Ricciarelli先生。)”可知，作者对音乐治疗项目深表感谢，尤其是Alessandro Ricciarelli先生为父亲做出的一切。由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是表达对音乐治疗师的感激之情。故选A。 二、七选五阅读 I was a radio presenter for many years，including hosting a music show.I soon noticed that almost everyone chose music from the same period：when they were in their teens or early twenties.1. Firstly，we tend to have a different good memory between the ages of about ten and thirty.2. The second reason is that music is a powerful trigger for our emotions，which in turn spark our memories.The music in our teen years is likely to have lots of emotions to understand，so even a very small part of a particular song can bring powerful feelings and memories flooding back. 3． It can have a calming effect，putting you in a relaxed mood，ready to remember.Rhythms and rhymes are great memory aids.And when we love a song，we tend to repeat it over and over again.Singing or playing something can even activate “muscle memory”，and there are many cases of people with severe memory loss still being able to perform music they learned decades ago. So the next time you hear a familiar song，put it to good use，to explore and exercise your memory.Think about the places and people it reminds you of and the emotions it brings.4. Remember a particular time in your life，think about the music you listened to then and let it take you back，following the connections as you piece together the past. You can also use music when you're learning.5. If you're dealing with several topics，play different styles of music while learning different things. Experiment to see what works for you.Songs can have a powerful impact on memory，and that should be music to everyone's ears! A．There are two very good reasons for that. B．The following practical suggestions are just for you. C．There are further ways in which music boosts recall. D．Find recordings that energize your thinking in your study. E．Some people use music to make themselves fall asleep faster. F．You may feel as if you rediscover the richest details of your past. G．Most of us have more novel and exciting memorable experiences then.

[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统服饰——汉服亮相威尼斯狂欢节，这说明了中外文化的交流不断加深。 1．traditionally　[解析]考查副词。句意：2023年2月17日，共有16名中国和意大利志愿者身穿汉服参加了在威尼斯举行的游行，汉服是汉族的传统服饰。空处修饰动词worn，应该用副词作状语，故填traditionally。 2．participated　[解析]考查动词的时态。句意见上题解析。根据时间状语“on Feb.17，2023”可知，空处应用一般过去时。故填participated。 3．dynasties　[解析]考查名词的数。句意：这些从苏州丝绸博物馆运来的服装分别以汉朝、唐朝、宋朝、明朝为主题，充分展示了江南文化和闻名世界的苏州丝绸。dynasty意为“朝代”，是可数名词，该空表示“四个朝代”，故填名词复数。故填dynasties。 4．whom　[解析]考查定语从句的关系词。句意：这个节目吸引了很多年轻人，他们中的大多数人决定参加这个活动，认为这可能是一种更接近中国文化的方式。分析句子结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是people，指人，关系词在从句中作宾语，应用关系代词whom，故填whom。 5．closer　[解析]考查形容词的比较等级。句意见上题解析。get close to是固定短语，结合句意以及前面的even可知，此处应用形容词比较级closer。故填closer。 6．majoring　[解析]考查非谓语动词。句意：24岁的Irene Di Maio在威尼斯学习中文，五年前她去苏州参加了端午节庆祝活动。went是句子的谓语，因此空处应该用非谓语动词形式；动词major和逻辑主语Irene Di Maio之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语。故填majoring。 7．to know　[解析]考查非谓语动词。句意：这次我想了解更多关于汉服的知识。would like to do sth.意为“想要做某事”，故此处用不定式作宾语。故填to know。 8．a　[解析]考查冠词。句意：除了服装秀，游客们还可以欣赏到一系列的中国文化活动，包括中国传统乐器古筝表演、汉服试穿和书法示范。instrument是可数名词，此处是名词短语作同位语，泛指“一种中国传统乐器”，traditional以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。 9．as　[解析]考查介词。句意：13世纪被意大利探险家马可·波罗誉为“东方威尼斯”的苏州，于1980年与威尼斯成为友好城市，此后互相开展了多项历史文化交流活动。固定搭配“consider ...as ...”意为“认为……是……”。故填as。 10．have been carried　[解析]考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意见上题解析。根据句意以及时间状语since then可知，空处应该用现在完成时；主语activities和谓语动词carry之间是动宾关系，所以应用现在完成时的被动语态，又因主语activities是复数，所以谓语动词也用复数。故填have been carried。 四、应用文写作 假定你是中学生李华，你的英国朋友Jim给你发来邮件。请你根据邮件内容给他写一封回信。 Dear Li Hua， I'm interested in your school's online course on Chinese folk music.I just want to know more about it.How long does it last and how much do I need to pay？What about the teachers？How can I apply for it？And do you have any other suggestions？Thank you!
