As a child,Liu Wenwen didn't like the suona,a “loud” traditional Chinese musical instrument,also an ancestral treasure of her family that was to become her career.
Liu says she felt ashamed.In the 1990s,people admired things that were modern and international.The suona was considered out of date.Her father's family has performed with the suona for seven generations,while the tradition on her mother's side of the family can be traced back to the early Qing Dynasty.Despite her unwillingness,she followed her parents to play the suona as early as 3 years old.Besides it,Liu has also learned traditional Chinese vocal music and dancing—skills that have improved her oral muscles and sense of rhyme,helping equip her to be a professional musician.
It wasn't until 2008 that she first found suona music beautiful.That was when she entered the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to learn the instrument more systematically from Liu Ying,a professor and top player.“The music played by the professor is just amazing,and different from what I had heard before,” she says.
She loves exchanging ideas about suona playing techniques with her students.“It's wonderful to see the younger generation carrying on this cultural tradition.” Liu Wenwen said she is pleased to see the suona regain popularity among young people,sometimes combined with jazz,opera and other art forms.This has stopped its decline in the 1990s.Her name,when mentioned on China's social media platforms,often is followed by a video of her live performance at a concert in Sydney,Australia.Westerners were amazed by the loud,unfamiliar instrument and its colorful music.“I felt my hard work had paid off.I trained for over 20 years,probably just to win cheers and applause for traditional Chinese music on international stage.”
4.What urged Liu Wenwen to learn to play the suona?
A.Family tradition. B.Personal interest.
C.Her professor. D.Her ambition.
5.Apart from daily training,what did Liu do to be a professional musician?
A.Follow her parents to play the suona.
B.Learn music history at an early age.
C.Play the suona with her parents on stage.
D.Better her oral muscles and sense of rhyme.
6.How did Liu first find suona music beautiful?
A.By learning from the famous professor Liu.
B.By visiting Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
C.By performing the suona music in Sydney.
D.By hearing her family playing the suona.
7.What can we learn from Liu's last words in the last paragraph?
A.She learned the value of her performance.
B.She earned a fortune after 20 years' training.
C.She worked hard and became an international professor.
D.She surprised many westerners with a video of her performance.

UNIT 3 限时规范练(B)
(限时30分钟)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·辽宁大连模拟)Imagine you are on your way out of class today.You trip on a loose piece of carpet and break your ankle.As a result of the injury, you lose your place in the local sports team.Bad luck? Or an opportunity to get rich quickly?
Roslyn Darch of Houston felt annoyed when she tripped over a little kid running around a furniture store, and broke her ankle.But a few months later, she was $780,000 richer after she successfully sued(起诉) the shop.The owner was clearly surprised at Roslyn's compensation,_particularly since the child she tripped over was her own son.
Some argue that this is just greed—that the amount of money is far too much for the injury suffered—and besides, it's not the shop's fault that a mother can't control her child anyway.Others would say that it's good to see the law taking the side of the individual against the big corporations, for a change.Take the example of the hundreds of smokers who have received millions of dollars from the tobacco companies, after saying they were responsible for the terminal illnesses they had developed because of smoking.Whatever you think, the compensation culture which has emerged in recent years is spreading, and it will affect all of us.
And it's not only claims for physical injuries that are keeping the lawyers busy.A group of overweight New York teenagers sued a giant fastfood company, claiming that they had not had enough warning that a diet of burgers, fries and milk shakes would make them fat.
Who knows where it will end? Some say there should be penalties(处罚) for excessive claims, or that there should be a limit on payouts.But one thing's for sure—in the end, the only certain winner is the lawyer!
1.What does the underlined word “compensation” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The great payout.
B.The process of the sue.
C.The incredible accident.
D.The unexpected injury.
2.What may be the main reason for Roslyn Darch's success in the shop?
A.The law took her side.
B.The owner's son tripped her.
C.She fell over the furniture.
D.She suffered a severe injury.
3.What's the function of the case mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.Analyzing reasons.
B.Providing evidence.
C.Showing humor.
D.Explaining concepts.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.To Fine or Not to Fine: the Lawyer's Victory
B.To Support or Not to Support: the Value of Justice
C.To Pay or Not to Pay: the Big Company's Option
D.To Sue or Not to Sue: the Rise of Compensation Culture
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章以Roslyn Darch起诉商店为例,说明了如今赔偿文化兴起的现象。
1.A [解析]词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“But a few months later, she was $780,000 richer after she successfully sued the shop.The owner was clearly surprised at Roslyn's”可知,店主显然对Roslyn的巨额赔偿感到惊讶,尤其是把她绊倒的孩子是她自己的儿子。故画线词指的是“巨额赔偿”。故选A。
2.A [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Others would say that it's good to see the law taking the side of the individual against the big corporations, for a change.”可知,Roslyn Darch在这家店取得成功的主要原因是法律站在她这边。故选A。
3.B [解析]推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,本段提到的案例的作用是提供证据。故选B。
4.D [解析]标题概括题。通读全文可知,本文主要说明了如今赔偿文化兴起的现象。因此D项适合作为本文标题。故选D。
B
The new radio programme from selfhelp expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me.In a session of We Can Do Hard Things,she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness.I heartily agree with her,because saying a polite but firm “no” is one of the basics for a happy life.I was,however,interested when she raised the idea that perhaps,as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries,we also need to stretch them.When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away?
Isn't it always the case that just as you think you've got an area of life nailed,somebody comes along to show you that that's not the case? As I listened,I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.
There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics,I wouldn't take it—which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.
There was the boundary that said I wasn't to buy anything until I'd reached my savings goal—which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.
And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them.Helpful to some extent,it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me,even if it wasn't quite what I had predicted.
Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time? Did I need to figure them all out again? I've spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I've secretly put in place,and I've let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years.Then I've come to the conclusion that,when it comes to boundaries,I'm a beginner again,and that's fine.In fact,being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be had and that is something for which I can only be grateful.
5.What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle's programme?
A.The importance of confirming our boundaries.
B.The benefits of boundaries to our happiness.
C.The urgency of maintaining our boundaries.
D.The necessity of reassessing our boundaries.
6.Which statement on boundaries will the author agree with?
A.We should favour savings goals over boundaries.
B.Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friends.
C.Boundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work.
D.We should stick to boundaries despite inconvenience.
7.How did the author feel about boundaries after the adjustments?
A.Relaxed. B.Depressed.
C.Pressured. D.Amused.
8.What is probably the best title for the passage?
A.Just When You Think You've Got Things Sorted ...
B.Just Where You Believe There's No Way out ...
C.How Can We Live a Life Without Boundaries?
D.How Do We Become Victims of Boundaries?
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人不能让自己设置的界限成为束缚,要进行调整,从而有新的收获。
5.D [解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I was,however,interested when she raised the idea that perhaps,as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries,we also need to stretch them.”可知,作者对Glennon Doyle的节目感兴趣的地方是她提到的要重新评估我们界限的必要性这一观点。故选D。
6.B [解析]推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Helpful to some extent,it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me,even if it wasn't quite what I had predicted.”可知,在作者看来,设置界限会阻止我们交到潜在的朋友。故选B。
7.A [解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Then I've come to the conclusion that,when it comes to boundaries,I'm a beginner again,and that's fine.”可知,在调整之后,作者觉得很放松。故选A。
8.A [解析]标题概括题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“I was,however,interested when she raised the idea that perhaps,as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries,we also need to stretch them.”可知,作者是想通过一个节目引出话题:我们不能局限在一定的界限之内,我们也需要调整自己所设下的界限。A选项“就在你以为一切都已解决的时候……”,后面的省略号让读者反思,是否要按照界定好的去做,是否要突破,符合文章主旨,适合作本文标题。故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五阅读
For the holiday gathering,you may be wondering how you're going to pull it off.Before we go into the specifics,a few words of general advice: You don't have to throw the party your parents did.1.______

Before you choose your menu,determine your serving style.4.______ If you've got the space for it,a familystyle meal—where people sit around a table and food is passed on big plates—can cut down on the need for complicated decorations.“Food can be part of the design,so you're not going crazy with flowers or anything,” she says.
Embrace a mixed menu.
The pandemic has made takeout an option not only for family dinners,but also for entertaining,because many restaurants now offer specific holiday dinner dishes to take home.5.______ “You can do a party with literally no cooking,” Miller says.“I like to live in the inbetween,but it's up to you.” Time and stresssavers include relying on makeahead dishes.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的一个节气——春分。
1.resulting [解析]考查非谓语动词。句意:春分之后,太阳向北移动,导致北半球的白天逐渐变长,南半球的夜晚逐渐变长。分析句子结构可知,result在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语the sun构成主动关系,故用现在分词形式,作状语。故填resulting。

When the final bell rang,the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—Labor Day (May Day).“Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher to her class.An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine.She loved breaks.She wanted to go out to play with her friends.When she got off the school bus,Kayla ran into the house happily.
“How was school,Kayla?” asked her mom.
“It was great,Mom.I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago.Already in need of a break,huh?” asked Kayla's mom with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning.Saturday was her favorite day of the week.It rained most of the day,so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside.On Sunday,her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.Then it was Labor Day,you know,the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to.But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad.He told Kayla that in celebration of Labor Day,the family would do some labor work.Kayla couldn't believe it.This was a holiday! A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house.As Kayla wiped her eyes,she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla,your breakfast is ready.We have a lot of work to do today.Let's get a move on,” said Kayla's mom.As she sat down at the kitchen table,Kayla asked her parents,“Are you serious about working today? Isn't Labor Day a holiday?”
“Yes,Kayla.It is,” replied her dad.“But we thought working hard today would make you understand why Labor Day was observed initially.” Though feeling disappointed and even a little annoyed,Kayla had no choice.

Paragraph 1:
She was assigned to tidy and clean her own room.Seeing the clothes and school supplies scattered here and there,she murmured,“How come my room is so messy?” She picked up the clothes and hung them in the cupboard as Mom usually does.Then she began to sort out her school supplies.The last step was wiping the desk and mopping the floor.Before she realized it,two hours had passed and she sweated heavily.Surprisingly,now,Kayla didn't feel any unhappy.Rather,she felt a sense of achievement and delight.
Paragraph 2:
Somehow,Kayla wanted to do more work.Just then,she noticed the pet dog's white fur was a little blackened.Why not give him a bath? Kayla carefully placed the dog into warm water,applied some shampoo onto him,and gently washed.The little creature grunted happily and even kissed Kayla on the cheek.Dad gave her a thumbsup,asking “Do you enjoy the holiday?” Kayla laughed,“I've understood why Labor Day was observed initially.” She realized holidays were not necessarily for fun and that doing some work could also bring pleasure.
