According to the study, if we listen to music that is in line with our present emotions (情感), we will feel a connection with it. 2 A friend, in hard times, will only advise us to become judgmental (判断的) about the situation. We don’t wish to listen to advice that would actually make us think too much when we are in tears, do we? We simply want someone to understand our situation, and sad songs do just that. 3 Similarly, listening to sad songs will help us feel better during times of sadness. Listening to sad songs while we’re in such a situation is similar to having a friend who will understand all our emotions. The feelings we are unable to explain to our dear ones can easily be put to words by these songs. What’s more, when we’re listening to sad music quietly, we may feel tears coming out of our eyes. 4 In a word, sad songs help to treat a broken heart. Sad singers normally sing with peaceful rhythms and tones (节奏和音调), which help us relax. 5 Even though the emotions in these songs may be of the sad kind, the peace in them surely makes us feel relaxed. A．Sad songs are like friends who bring out the best in us. B．The reason is that sad songs will make us think of our pains. C．We should thank them for lending special voices to comfort us. D．If we’re happy and choose to listen to happy songs, we’ll feel happier. E．This helps us come out of our situation better than taking advice from a friend. F．Once we let all these emotions go with tears, we’ll feel better. Passage B（探讨音乐对人类生活的深远影响，从改善情绪、提升认知功能到促进人际连接等方面展开。） Since ancient times, music has been an important part of human life. It has been used for celebrations, special events, storytelling, and expressing emotions. But the true value of music is something we often don’t notice, even though it continuously presents in our lives. Studies show that music is not just a source of entertainment; it actually influences our physical and emotional well-being. Music influences us in many ways, from improving our mood to helping our memory. Research has proven that listening to music can reduce stress by lowering blood pressure and heart beats. For example, soft music is often used in hospitals to help patients feel relaxed. Meanwhile, fast songs are played during workouts to increase motivation and energy. Music has the power to change how we feel, encouraging happiness, inspiration, and even deep reflection. Moreover, music is known to improve cognitive functions (认知功能). Many students find that listening to music while studying helps them focus better and remember information. Studies also suggest that learning to play an instrument improves skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and body control. Music helps build new connections in the brain, making it better at dealing with hard information. Additionally, music treatment is now widely used to support mental health, helping people deal with worry, sadness, and painful memories in a safe, comforting way. Yet, not everyone realizes how deeply music shapes their daily lives. In a world full of noise, we often neglect the unbelievable effects of music on our emotional health. We forget that music is more than a background sound; it is a powerful tool for growth. Its sounds connect people across cultures and generations, providing a universal language that speaks directly to the heart. As much as music brings comfort and joy, it also teaches us about balance. Too much exposure (暴露) to loud or wild music can cause stress, harm our ears, and even influence our sleep. Therefore, just like with light and darkness, we must learn to appreciate (欣赏) music wisely, using it to improve our well-being instead of flooding our senses. Music is a gift that has always been with us, waiting to be truly appreciated. When we understand its power and use it mindfully, we can unlock new levels of creativity, peace, and connection. And in doing so, we rediscover what it truly means to be human. 1．What can we learn from the passage? A．Music lessons should be taught more in classes. B．Listening to music can help people exercise longer. C．Music helps people connect and grow in many ways. D．Learning to play instruments can increase motivation. 2．What does the word “neglect” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A．Look up to. B．Fail to notice. C．Examine carefully. D．Pay attention to. 3．What is the passage mainly about? A．Music offers various ways to express ideas. B．Music improves students’ school performance. C．Music requires a quiet environment for best listening. D．Music influences how people think, learn, and interact. 话题写作佳句积累 1.My favorite song is....我最爱的歌曲是..... 2.I love music that I can...我喜欢我能....的音乐。 3.I prefer music that has...我更喜欢有.....音乐。 4.I love...because it...我喜欢....是因为..... 5.It makes me relax after a long week at work.它能让我在一周后的工作得到放松。 6.I only like movies that are funny.我只喜欢搞笑的电影。 7.I prefer movies that give me something to think.我更喜欢能带给我思考的电影。 8.I like to watch different kinds of movies depending on how I feel that day.我喜欢不同种类的电影取决于我当天的心情。 9.Laughing for two hours is a good way to relax.大笑2个小时是很好的放松方式。 10.The music is beautiful.那种音乐很美妙。 11.It can bring me a lot of pleasure.它给我带来很多乐趣。 12.It was one of the most moving pieces of music that I’ve ever heard.那是我听过的最令人感动的曲子之一。 13.It is moving and educational.它很令人感动而且有教育意义。 14.I think we should listen to it more because it can help us understand...我觉得我们应该多听因为它能帮助我们明白..... 15.When I listen to/watch it,I feel...当我看它或者听到它，我感到..... 实战演练 真题示例 Passage1 （2025·江苏苏州·中考真题）Want to know what your friends are really like?

Jazz Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning. If you like the saxophone of John Coltrane, then you’re probably self-confident and easy to get on with. Classical music If Beethoven and Mozart have you turning up the music, you’re probably quiet, but happy with who you are and comfortable with the world around you. But the experiment didn’t tell the whole story: where we grow up, who we often go out with, and our personal experiences play into our taste, too. The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. But no matter what style you like, music is for everyone. And enjoying different types of music lets you get a taste of cultures you might not have experienced before.

Samdrub Norbu, born to a common family in Xizang, is 2 about Xizangan music. He learned more about the Xizangan guitar in the college and since then, the guitar has become one of his best friends in life, and it almost 3 leaves his side. While still studying in college three years ago, he opened a shop in his home county 4 Xizangan musical instruments. However, with few knew or played them, the business 5 and he lost almost 500,000yuan($69,000), which resulted in a terrible effect on him and his family. “I 6 a time of great difficulties.” he said, “Even my girlfriend left me.

Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets (预算). For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when they fired (解雇) over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial in many ways. When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode (解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. They need to deal with all these things at the same time. Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano. 16．Some schools in the US cut music classes because ________. A．they were too difficult to learn B．students in the US weren’t interested in music C．the schools wanted to save money D．there weren’t enough music teachers in the US 17．What does the underlined word “beneficial” mean? A．耗时的 B．重要的 C．高效的 D．有益的 18．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Playing the piano needs people to see music notes. B．Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds. C．Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music. D．Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music. 19．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．Music has something to do with science. B．When playing the piano, people only use their fingers to make sounds. C．Science, math and history are tested very often as well as music in schools. D．1, 000 teachers who taught art or music were fired by Chicago public schools. 20．What’s the writer’s opinion in this passage? A．Music is as simple as it looks. B．Music is a big part of our lives. C．Music classes should be cut in some school. D．Music isn’t a very important life skill for us. Passage 3 Music is often divided into several categories (类别), or groups. Some of the categories are: classical music, traditional music, rock music, and jazz music. The first kind, classical music, refers to orchestra (管弦乐队) music that originated (发源) in Europe a few hundred years ago. Most of the original classical music was composed or written in Italy, Germany, Austria, or Russia. 21 The second type of music is traditional music. It comes from a particular culture. 22 For example, “blues music” is a kind of traditional music in the United States and “enka music” is one kind of traditional music in Japan. Each traditional music has its own special instruments. 23 It is generally a loud kind of music, played with a strong beat. Rock musicians often use electric instruments. Rock music probably began in Europe about 30 or 40 years ago. It became very popular, especially among young people, during the 1960s and 1970s. The fourth kind of music is jazz. Jazz probably comes from Africa. 24 As well different kinds of musical instruments are used to play this kind of music, especially wind instruments. 25 In addition, many kinds of music are combinations (结合) of classical and traditional, or classical and jazz, or rock and jazz, and so on. A．Another kind of music is rock music. B．Of course there are other categories of music. C．People usually enjoy music during the free time. D．It is usually played by the string and wind instruments. E．Every culture has its own special form of traditional music. F．It has different kinds of rhythm (节奏) from other kinds of music. Passage 4 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Chinese music is 1 (difference) from music in other parts of the world. To show its 2 (beautiful), only Chinese musical instruments can be divided into eight classes by the materials they are made from. There are reeds (芦苇) and gourds (葫芦) to make sheng, bamboo to make panpipes (排箫), silk to make zithers (筝), metal to make bells and skin to make drums. These musical instruments make Chinese folk music 3 (strange) beautiful. There is 4 piece of music which is named High Mountains and Flowing Streams. From this name, you can imagine a harmonious (和谐的) picture with green 5 (mountain) and clear streams quietly passing by 6 (you) feet. The music is 7 (play) on the Guzheng. High Mountains and Flowing Streams is the treasure of Chinese music. The music is slow and quiet. It is a song in praise of the life-long friendship 8 the music masters Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi. The story behind the music tells us that it is not easy for one to find a true friend who can share everything 9 understand every feeling of the other. People can feel the strength from this piece of music when looking at the imposing (壮观的) mountains and 10 (run) stream water. It is also a full show of great skills. I hope everyone can enjoy Chinese music. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 4 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 4 I like music that I can dance to.音乐与电影 话题阅读精练 版块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 Passage A 阅读还原 说明文 333 探讨听悲伤歌曲对处于悲伤情绪中的人的影响及原因。 Passage B 阅读理解 说明文 502 探讨音乐对人类生活的深远影响，从改善情绪、提升认知功能到促进人际连接等方面展开。 真题示例 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 381 探讨音乐偏好与人格特质之间的关联，并指出音乐品味还受成长环境、社交圈等因素影响，最后鼓励人们尝试多样化的音乐风格。 Passage2 阅读理解 记叙文 251 介绍音乐的相关内容。 模拟演练 Passage1 完形填空 记叙文 310 介绍喜欢音乐的Samdrub Norbu毕业后独立创业，以希望更多人来了解西藏音乐。 Passage2 阅读理解 议论文 270 讨论音乐教育在部分学校被削减的现象及其原因，并阐述了学习音乐的益处。 Passage3 阅读还原 记叙文 294 讲述音乐通常分为若干类别或类型。 Passage4 语法填空 说明文 242 介绍了中国音乐的独特之处，包括乐器的分类、名曲《高山流水》及其背后的故事，展现了中国音乐的美感和文化内涵。 时文阅读 话题谚语小知识 1. Music is the universal language of human beings.（音乐是人类通用的语言。） 2. Without music, life is of no value.（没有音乐，生命是没有价值的。） 3. Music is the medicine of the disease cure thought.（音乐是医治思想疾病的良药。） 4. Where there is music, there is joy.（哪里有音乐，哪里就有欢乐。） 5. Music makes a people's temperament more noble.（音乐使一个民族的气质更高贵。） 6. Dreams begin with scripts and end in films.（梦想始于剧本而终于电影。） 7. A film is a dream that you never want to wake up from.（电影是一场你永远不想醒来的梦。） 8. Film is the art of time and space, combining the beauty of movement and stillness.（电影是时间和空间的艺术，融合了动与静之美。） 9. Music is the voice of the soul.（音乐是灵魂的声音。） 10. Film is a mirror that reflects the real world and human nature.（电影是一面反映现实世界和人性的镜子。） 11.Music is the eye of the ear.音乐是耳朵的眼睛。 12.Music is the medicine of a troubled mind.音乐是治疗心灵苦恼的药。 13.Music is the universal language of mankind.音乐是全人类共同的语言。 时文阅读 Passage A（探讨听悲伤歌曲对处于悲伤情绪中的人的影响及原因。） Most people believe that we should not listen to sad songs when we’re feeling sad. 1 But a study shows that listening to sad songs does help us feel better.

F．Once we let all these emotions go with tears, we’ll feel better. 长难句解析 原句：According to the study, if we listen to music that is in line with our present emotions (情感), we will feel a connection with it. 译文：根据这项研究，如果我们听与我们当下情绪相符的音乐，我们会觉得与它产生了共鸣。 原句：A friend, in hard times, will only advise us to become judgmental (判断的) about the situation. 译文：在困难时期，朋友只会建议我们对这种情况做出判断。 分析：本句是主谓宾宾补结构。A friend是主语，in hard times是插入语，will advise是谓语，us是宾语，to become judgmental about the situation是宾语补足语。 【导语】本文主要探讨了听悲伤歌曲对处于悲伤情绪中的人的影响及原因。 1．根据前文“Most people believe that we should not listen to sad songs when we're feeling sad.”以及后文“But a study shows that listening to sad songs does help us feel better.”可知，空格处应是说明人们觉得不该听悲伤歌曲的原因。选项B“原因是悲伤的歌曲会让我们想起自己的痛苦。”符合情景。故选B。 2．根据前文“According to the study, if we listen to music that is in line with our present emotions (情感), we will feel a connection with it.”以及后文“We simply want someone to understand our situation, and sad songs do just that.”可知，空格处是在阐述听与当下情绪相符的音乐的好处。选项E“这比听从朋友的建议更能帮助我们更好地走出困境。”符合情景。故选E。 3．根据前文提到听与情绪相符的音乐有好处，以及后文“Similarly, listening to sad songs will help us feel better during times of sadness.”可知，空格处应是举例说明听与情绪相符音乐的情况。选项D“如果我们开心并选择听欢快的歌曲，我们会感觉更快乐。”符合情景。故选D。 4．根据前文“What’s more, when we’re listening to sad music quietly, we may feel tears coming out of our eyes.”可知，空格处和流泪后情绪的变化有关。选项F“一旦我们让这些情绪随着眼泪释放出来，我们会感觉更好。”符合情景。故选F。 5．根据前文“Sad singers normally sing with peaceful rhythms and tones (节奏和音调), which help us relax.”可知，空格处是对悲伤歌曲歌手的感谢。选项C“我们应该感谢他们用特别的声音来安慰我们。”符合情景。故选C。 译文 大多数人认为，当我们感到悲伤时，不应该听悲伤的歌曲。然而，一项研究表明，听悲伤的歌曲确实有助于我们感觉更好。 根据这项研究，如果我们听与我们当下情绪相符的音乐，我们会与之产生共鸣。在困难时期，朋友只会建议我们对所处的情况做出判断。当我们泪流满面时，我们并不想听那些实际上会让我们想得太多的建议，不是吗？我们只是希望有人能理解我们的处境，而悲伤的歌曲就能做到这一点。 同样，在悲伤的时候听悲伤的歌曲会帮助我们感觉好些。在这种情况下听悲伤的歌曲，就好像有一个朋友能理解我们所有的情绪。 我们无法向亲爱的人解释的感受，这些歌曲能轻易地用文字表达出来。此外，当我们静静地听悲伤的音乐时，我们可能会感到泪水夺眶而出。 总之，悲伤的歌曲有助于治愈破碎的心。悲伤的歌手通常以平和的节奏和音调演唱，这有助于我们放松。即使这些歌曲中的情感可能是悲伤的，但其中的平和感肯定会让我们感到放松。 Passage B（探讨音乐对人类生活的深远影响，从改善情绪、提升认知功能到促进人际连接等方面展开。） Since ancient times, music has been an important part of human life.

Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets (预算). For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when they fired (解雇) over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial in many ways. When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode (解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. They need to deal with all these things at the same time. Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano. 16．Some schools in the US cut music classes because ________. A．they were too difficult to learn B．students in the US weren’t interested in music C．the schools wanted to save money D．there weren’t enough music teachers in the US 17．What does the underlined word “beneficial” mean? A．耗时的 B．重要的 C．高效的 D．有益的 18．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Playing the piano needs people to see music notes. B．Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds. C．Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music. D．Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music. 19．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．Music has something to do with science. B．When playing the piano, people only use their fingers to make sounds. C．Science, math and history are tested very often as well as music in schools. D．1, 000 teachers who taught art or music were fired by Chicago public schools. 20．What’s the writer’s opinion in this passage? A．Music is as simple as it looks. B．Music is a big part of our lives. C．Music classes should be cut in some school. D．Music isn’t a very important life skill for us. 【答案】16．C 17．D 18．D 19．A 20．B 【导语】本文主要讨论了音乐教育在部分学校被削减的现象及其原因，并阐述了学习音乐的益处。 16．细节理解题。根据“some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets”可知，美国学校削减音乐课程是为了控制预算。故选C。 17．词句猜测题。根据下文“When playing music, you need different abilities to work together…Music has a special connection with science as well…”可知，此处介绍学习音乐的益处，所以画线部分的含义是“有益的”。故选D。 18．主旨大意题。根据“When playing music, you need different abilities to work together.”并通读本段可知，本段主要介绍演奏音乐时需要多种能力协同合作。故选D。 19．细节理解题。根据“Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music”可知，音乐与科学存在关联。故选A。 20．观点态度题。文章首段引用尼采名言强调音乐的重要性，后文反驳削减音乐课程的现象并列举音乐的多重益处，可见作者认为音乐是生活的重要组成部分。故选B。 Passage 3 Music is often divided into several categories (类别), or groups. Some of the categories are: classical music, traditional music, rock music, and jazz music. The first kind, classical music, refers to orchestra (管弦乐队) music that originated (发源) in Europe a few hundred years ago. Most of the original classical music was composed or written in Italy, Germany, Austria, or Russia. 21 The second type of music is traditional music.

Each traditional music has its own special instruments. 23 It is generally a loud kind of music, played with a strong beat. Rock musicians often use electric instruments. Rock music probably began in Europe about 30 or 40 years ago. It became very popular, especially among young people, during the 1960s and 1970s. The fourth kind of music is jazz. Jazz probably comes from Africa. 24 As well different kinds of musical instruments are used to play this kind of music, especially wind instruments. 25 In addition, many kinds of music are combinations (结合) of classical and traditional, or classical and jazz, or rock and jazz, and so on. A．Another kind of music is rock music. B．Of course there are other categories of music. C．People usually enjoy music during the free time. D．It is usually played by the string and wind instruments.

It comes from a particular culture.”可知，第二种类型的音乐和传统有关，选项E“每种文化都有自己独特的传统音乐形式。”符合语境。故选E。 23．根据“It is generally a loud kind of music, played with a strong beat. Rock musicians often use electric instruments.”可知，这里指的是摇滚乐，选项A“另一种音乐是摇滚乐。”符合语境。故选A。 24．根据“As well different kinds of musical instruments are used to play this kind of music, especially wind instruments.”可知，此句运用了“as well”，说明前句也指出了不同，选项F“它有不同于其他音乐的节奏。”符合语境。故选F。 25．根据“In addition, many kinds of music are combinations (结合) of classical and traditional, or classical and jazz, or rock and jazz, and so on.”可知，这里提到了其他类型的音乐，选项B“当然还有其他类型的音乐。”符合语境。故选B。 Passage 4 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Chinese music is 1 (difference) from music in other parts of the world.
