One great way to feel this connection is by attending some of the world’s most incredible music festivals. Sziget Festival The Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary, is a renowned six-day celebration of music and art on Obuda Island on the Danube River. Started in 1993, the festival is known for its diverse lineup, featuring top artists from genres like electronic, hip-hop, techno, and pop rock. Beyond music, the festival offers cultural experiences like art exhibitions, theater, circus performances, and film screenings. Glastonbury Glastonbury Music Festival is a global music fest held annually at the Worthy Farm in Somerset, England. Since its inception（开始）in 1970, it has become a touchstone for music enthusiasts worldwide, drawing more than 200,000 visitors during its remarkable five-day run. Additionally, Glastonbury is among the few festivals striving towards being completely carbon-neutral. Rock in Rio The beloved Rock in Rio festival was founded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1985．The brand has since expanded to other locations, including Lisbon, Madrid, and Las Vegas. Rock in Rio spans multiple days. While its roots are in rock music, Rock in Rio has evolved to include more genres to appeal to a much broader audience. One of Rock in Rio’s standout features is its commitment to environmental initiatives. Fuji Rock Fuji Rock is Japan’s biggest music festival, typically held in Naeba Ski Resort in Niiga ta Prefecture. Known for its stunning mountainous backdrop, this event has been running since 1997 and is celebrated for its diverse lineup that spans rock, electronic, hip-hop, and most other genres. It attracts international and local acts, creating a unique fusion of musical styles. 1．How is the Sziget Festival different from the other music festivals? A．It is documented in films. B．It is centered on classical arts. C．It hosts various cultural events. D．It features diverse music genres. 2．What do Glastonbury and Rock in Rio have in common? A．They highlight rock music. B．They last more than a week. C．They undergo global expansion. D．They adopt eco-friendly practices. 3．Which of the four music festivals has the shortest history? A．Sziget Festival. B．Glastonbury. C．Rock in Rio. D．Fuji Rock. B For professional tap dancer and educator Quynn Johnson, tap dance (踢踏舞) is a never-ending process. “There are levels of tap dance that for me still have yet to be unlocked. I still have a lot to do to unlock those energies, emotions and exploration for myself. So anytime I get to put the shoes on, it’s an opportunity to unlock those things,” Johnson said in an interview with The Crimson. Born and raised in Flint, Mich., the youngest of three girls, Johnson was put in tap dance by her parents to follow her sisters’ footsteps. While her sisters eventually moved away from tap dance, Johnson stuck with it. As Johnson kept dancing throughout her early life, she came to love it deeply. She would dance everywhere. In her words, “My feet were always moving.” When it came to choosing tap dance as a career, she said, “I needed money. A friend of mine shared with me a studio that was looking for a tap teacher, so I started teaching many kids tap there, and I really just fell in love with it — and it became a career.” Education is a major part of Johnson’s company, Sole Defined, which she co-founded with another performing artist. Sole Defined has two branches — one is focused on staging live shows, and the other goes around the world teaching students literacy (识字) and math skills through tap dance. “We’re able to tap into students’ background knowledge about different things, which they may not learn by just sitting in a classroom and memorizing. So using elements of tap dance like beat and allowing them to physically embody the knowledge in movement just betters their understanding,” she said. 4．What does Johnson think of tap dance? A．It takes a great deal of energy. B．It reduces her negative emotions. C．It serves as a tradition of her family. D．It is a lifelong process of self-exploration. 5．What led Johnson to choose tap dance as a career? A．Her talent in tap dance. B．Her passion for teaching tap. C．Pressures of everyday life. D．Requirements from her parents. 6．What does the teaching of Sole Defined feature? A．Giving lessons in the open air. B．Preparing students for live shows. C．Training students’ communicating skills. D．Connecting knowledge to body movements. 7．Which words can best describe Johnson? A．Energetic and elegant. B．Creative and devoted. C．Passionate and generous. D．Independent and reliable. C When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That might not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music. Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露)to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing. The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect. One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆)research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. She said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing. 8．Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text? A．Becoming famous. B．Getting courage to try new things. C．Encouraging them to do things well. D．Having better brain health in later life. 9．What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Typical. B．Absolute. C．Positive. D．Sufficient. 10．According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults? A．It encourages them to sing more. B．It lowers the chance of developing dementia. C．It provides a relaxing mind in their free time. D．It helps them stay physically active. 11．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A．To explain the importance of a hobby. B．To describe that singing is good for health. C．To tell us what we should do in daily life. D．To encourage people to join in music activities. D The threat of language extinction isn’t new. But there are ways to save at-risk languages, as well. For the past two decades, Garifuna artists have used a cultural foundation — dance music — to inspire young Garifuna people to learn and share their native language. Much of the Garifuna people’s history is passed down not just by words, but by song and dance, such as the jankunu. Elements of the Garifuna culture — including music, dance, and language — were listed as a UNESCO Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2001. Around the same time, Garifuna musicians and cultural activists put for ward a plan: to create songs entirely in Garifuna to unit e young Garifuna people to learn the language. Palacio, a leader in the cultural movement, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form the Garifuna Collective band in 2007. Their Garifuna lyrics sent a powerful message: it’s time to defend our culture. After multiple world tours and international music awards, “The Garifuna Collective put Garifuna on the international map, and we are optimistic about it,” said Palacio. Although Palacio passed away in 2008, his songs, and the works of Garifuna musical activists across Central America, lit a cultural flame for Garifuna people worldwide. Musician Lovell adopted the language at the age of 16 to follow in the footsteps of his favorite Garifuna musician and cultural revivalist. Lovell became part of a larger grassroots (基层) effort to teach the language in New York. Increasingly, many Garifuna language lessons are now available online. Another set of musicians were inspired by Palacio’s message, such as the founders of Battle of the Drums, an international music competition in Belize. This famous staff helps elementary and high schools in Belize teach the Garifuna culture and language through music—a strategy borrowed by other language professors who teach Garifuna through songs. Will music save the Garifuna language? Garifuna remains on UNESCO’s endangered language list which was last updated in 2010. It seems that this kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road. 12．Why did artists plan to create songs entirely in Garifuna? A．To save their language. B．To refresh their dance. C．To gain international fame. D．To promote their music. 13．What can we infer about Palacio from paragraph 3? A．He saved their language successfully. B．He contributed to defending his country. C．He played a crucial role in the movement. D．He founded the most popular band at that time. 14．What can we learn from the examples in paragraphs 4 and 5? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Where there is a will, there is a way. C．Music goes beyond boundaries. D．One person can make a difference to another. 15．What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of Garifuna language? A．Uncertain. B．Optimistic. C．Pessimistic. D．Unconcerned. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Listening to music is beneficial for adults, and science proves it. Music profoundly impacts our body, mind, and mood — a world without it would not be as good. 16 Some parents recognize its value and encourage children to learn or listen to music, but others overlook its importance. Here’s why music matters for children: First, music enhances children’s intelligence. Studies show that children who learn music often have better thinking abilities than those not interested in it. 17 Music also calms children and lowers stress. Today’s children face academic pressure, and excessive stress harms their health. 18 19 Some children are naturally shy. They seem lost in their thoughts and don’t notice things around them. In such cases, “music therapy” is used to help — lifting their spirits and renewing their energy. Moreover, music is a universal language. Our world has become a global village. 20 Learning music helps children understand diverse cultural traditions. Clearly, music is vital not only for adults but also for children. Thus, we should encourage children to engage with music. A．Then, is music good for children? B．Music can improve children’s moods. C．Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better. D．Music is shared between every culture and generation. E．Music can help you recognize and remember information better. F．This is because the brain gets inspired by the rhythm and tone of music. G．People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When the host announced my choir (合唱队) won the second place, I couldn’t believe it.

You’ll do the solo in the school hall that day.” My throat tightened. I stared at her for a while. The band director was looking right at me. So was everyone else. Saying no to Ms. Reed was like trying to stop an avalanche (雪崩). “OK!” I said unwillingly, trying to hide my hopelessness. In fact, stage fright wasn’t just a fear; it was a storm I couldn’t escape. Kelly, the violin star, passed me and made fun of me. “You’ve never done a solo, right? Don’t mess up! By the way, the Youth Symphony’s (青年交响乐团的) director is coming. I’m sure he’ll love your nerves.” Her words felt like a knife, I’d dreamed of playing in the Youth Symphony for a long time. However, I could only play great in the basement (地下室) of my home. It’s comfortable down there — just me, my sax (萨克斯), my music stand and a couple of spiders(蜘蛛) as my audience. I like to practice at night, and no one can hear me in the basement. When I got home, I began to think about the performance piece. I grabbed a sheet of music, “Summertime.” I spent hours practicing and perfecting it. But doubt washed over me. “What if I freeze?” I was in low spirits for several days. “You’re not alone,” Jill, my best friend, said in a low voice one day after school and came along with me to my basement. “Imagine the crowd is a group of spiders (蜘蛛),” she suggested. Her thought felt funny, but her support relieved my anxiety a little. “It’s no use. I just felt comfortable here,” I replied. “If I could do my solo here, it’d be no problem.” “Why can’t the school hall feel like your basement?” Jill shouted excitedly. “Will it work if you see a photo of your basement?” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hearing her words, I suddenly had an idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Ms. Reed signaled to me, I stood up with a photo taped on my sax. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Music单元测试·基础卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） （参考答案） 第一部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 1．C 2．D 3．D 4．D 5．B 6．D 7．B 8．D 9．C 10．B 11．D 12．A 13．C 14．D 15．A 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 16．A 17．F 18．C 19．B 20．G 第二部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第1节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 21．A 22．C 23．D 24．A 25．B 26．C 27．B 28．D 29．B 30．A 31．C 32．A 33．B 34．D 35．D 第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 36．peacefully 37．an 38．when 39．popularity 40．into 41．was seen 42．hits 43．to express 44．written 45．Our 第三部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 Dear Michael, I’m writing to invite you to participate in our city’s “My Favorite Chinese Song” competition, an event organized for foreign friends.

Then, vote for your favorite entries online. The top three winners will receive certificates and prizes! Don’t miss this chance to showcase your talent and learn more about Chinese culture. I’ll help you prepare if needed! Best regards, Li Hua 第二节 （满分25分） Hearing her words, I suddenly had an idea. I took out my phone and snapped a few pictures of my basement — the dusty floor, the old chair, even the corner where the spiders lived. I printed one and taped it to my sax. Every day until the performance, I practiced in front of the photo. Slowly, the fear that once choked me began to loosen its grip. Jill came every evening to listen and cheer me on. Her presence made me believe that maybe, just maybe, I could do this. I told myself the school hall would be just another room, and the audience — just another group of spiders. When Ms. Reed signaled to me, I stood up with a photo taped on my sax. My heart was pounding, but I took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. The hall was full, and the Youth Symphony’s director sat in the front row. I looked down at the photo on my sax and smiled slightly. Then I began to play “Summertime.” The notes flowed smoothly, just like in my basement. As I played, I forgot the crowd, forgot Kelly, and even forgot myself. The music carried me away. When I finished, silence filled the hall for a second — then loud applause. I did it. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ Unit 5 Music单元测试·基础卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Music Festivals From Around the World Music possesses a unique power to unit e people across cultures.

Will music save the Garifuna language? Garifuna remains on UNESCO’s endangered language list which was last updated in 2010. It seems that this kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road. 12．Why did artists plan to create songs entirely in Garifuna? A．To save their language. B．To refresh their dance. C．To gain international fame. D．To promote their music. 13．What can we infer about Palacio from paragraph 3? A．He saved their language successfully. B．He contributed to defending his country. C．He played a crucial role in the movement. D．He founded the most popular band at that time. 14．What can we learn from the examples in paragraphs 4 and 5? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Where there is a will, there is a way. C．Music goes beyond boundaries. D．One person can make a difference to another. 15．What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of Garifuna language? A．Uncertain. B．Optimistic. C．Pessimistic. D．Unconcerned. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Listening to music is beneficial for adults, and science proves it. Music profoundly impacts our body, mind, and mood — a world without it would not be as good. 16 Some parents recognize its value and encourage children to learn or listen to music, but others overlook its importance. Here’s why music matters for children: First, music enhances children’s intelligence. Studies show that children who learn music often have better thinking abilities than those not interested in it. 17 Music also calms children and lowers stress. Today’s children face academic pressure, and excessive stress harms their health. 18 19 Some children are naturally shy. They seem lost in their thoughts and don’t notice things around them. In such cases, “music therapy” is used to help — lifting their spirits and renewing their energy. Moreover, music is a universal language. Our world has become a global village. 20 Learning music helps children understand diverse cultural traditions. Clearly, music is vital not only for adults but also for children. Thus, we should encourage children to engage with music. A．Then, is music good for children? B．Music can improve children’s moods. C．Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better. D．Music is shared between every culture and generation. E．Music can help you recognize and remember information better. F．This is because the brain gets inspired by the rhythm and tone of music. G．People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When the host announced my choir (合唱队) won the second place, I couldn’t believe it.

You’ll do the solo in the school hall that day.” My throat tightened. I stared at her for a while. The band director was looking right at me. So was everyone else. Saying no to Ms. Reed was like trying to stop an avalanche (雪崩). “OK!” I said unwillingly, trying to hide my hopelessness. In fact, stage fright wasn’t just a fear; it was a storm I couldn’t escape. Kelly, the violin star, passed me and made fun of me. “You’ve never done a solo, right? Don’t mess up! By the way, the Youth Symphony’s (青年交响乐团的) director is coming. I’m sure he’ll love your nerves.” Her words felt like a knife, I’d dreamed of playing in the Youth Symphony for a long time. However, I could only play great in the basement (地下室) of my home. It’s comfortable down there — just me, my sax (萨克斯), my music stand and a couple of spiders(蜘蛛) as my audience. I like to practice at night, and no one can hear me in the basement. When I got home, I began to think about the performance piece. I grabbed a sheet of music, “Summertime.” I spent hours practicing and perfecting it. But doubt washed over me. “What if I freeze?” I was in low spirits for several days. “You’re not alone,” Jill, my best friend, said in a low voice one day after school and came along with me to my basement. “Imagine the crowd is a group of spiders (蜘蛛),” she suggested. Her thought felt funny, but her support relieved my anxiety a little. “It’s no use. I just felt comfortable here,” I replied. “If I could do my solo here, it’d be no problem.” “Why can’t the school hall feel like your basement?” Jill shouted excitedly. “Will it work if you see a photo of your basement?” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hearing her words, I suddenly had an idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Ms. Reed signaled to me, I stood up with a photo taped on my sax. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Music单元测试·基础卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Music Festivals From Around the World Music possesses a unique power to unit e people across cultures. One great way to feel this connection is by attending some of the world’s most incredible music festivals. Sziget Festival The Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary, is a renowned six-day celebration of music and art on Obuda Island on the Danube River. Started in 1993, the festival is known for its diverse lineup, featuring top artists from genres like electronic, hip-hop, techno, and pop rock. Beyond music, the festival offers cultural experiences like art exhibitions, theater, circus performances, and film screenings. Glastonbury Glastonbury Music Festival is a global music fest held annually at the Worthy Farm in Somerset, England. Since its inception（开始）in 1970, it has become a touchstone for music enthusiasts worldwide, drawing more than 200,000 visitors during its remarkable five-day run. Additionally, Glastonbury is among the few festivals striving towards being completely carbon-neutral. Rock in Rio The beloved Rock in Rio festival was founded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1985．The brand has since expanded to other locations, including Lisbon, Madrid, and Las Vegas. Rock in Rio spans multiple days. While its roots are in rock music, Rock in Rio has evolved to include more genres to appeal to a much broader audience. One of Rock in Rio’s standout features is its commitment to environmental initiatives. Fuji Rock Fuji Rock is Japan’s biggest music festival, typically held in Naeba Ski Resort in Niiga ta Prefecture. Known for its stunning mountainous backdrop, this event has been running since 1997 and is celebrated for its diverse lineup that spans rock, electronic, hip-hop, and most other genres. It attracts international and local acts, creating a unique fusion of musical styles. 1．How is the Sziget Festival different from the other music festivals? A．It is documented in films. B．It is centered on classical arts. C．It hosts various cultural events. D．It features diverse music genres. 2．What do Glastonbury and Rock in Rio have in common? A．They highlight rock music. B．They last more than a week. C．They undergo global expansion. D．They adopt eco-friendly practices. 3．Which of the four music festivals has the shortest history? A．Sziget Festival. B．Glastonbury. C．Rock in Rio. D．Fuji Rock. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上四个著名的音乐节。 1．细节理解题。通过文章“Sziget Festival(匈牙利布达佩斯的“Sziget 音乐节”)”部分的“Beyond music, the festival offers cultural experiences like art exhibitions, theater, circus performances, and film screenings.(除了音乐，该节日还提供艺术展览、戏剧、马戏表演和电影放映等文化体验。)”可知，Sziget 音乐节与其他音乐节的不同之处在于它举办各种文化活动。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。通过文章“Glastonbury(格拉斯顿伯里音乐节)”部分的“Additionally, Glastonbury is among the few festivals striving towards being completely carbon-neutral.(此外，格拉斯顿伯里音乐节是少数几个努力实现完全碳中和的音乐节之一。)”和“Rock in Rio(里约摇滚音乐节)”部分的“One of Rock in Rio’s standout features is its commitment to environmental initiatives.(里约摇滚音乐节的突出特点之一是其对环境倡议的承诺。)”可知，格拉斯顿伯里音乐节和里约摇滚音乐节的共同之处在于它们采取了环保措施。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。通过文章“Sziget Festival(匈牙利布达佩斯的“Sziget 音乐节”)”部分的“Started in 1993(始于 1993年)”、“Glastonbury(格拉斯顿伯里音乐节)”部分的“Since its inception in 1970(自1970年成立以来)”、“Rock in Rio(里约摇滚音乐节)”部分的“The beloved Rock in Rio festival was founded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1985.(深受喜爱的里约摇滚音乐节于1985年在巴西里约热内卢成立。)”以及“Fuji Rock(富士摇滚音乐节)”部分的“Known for its stunning mountainous backdrop, this event has been running since 1997(自1997年以来，这项活动一直在进行，以其令人惊叹的山区背景而闻名)”可知，四个音乐节中，Fuji Rock的历史最短。故选D项。 B For professional tap dancer and educator Quynn Johnson, tap dance (踢踏舞) is a never-ending process. “There are levels of tap dance that for me still have yet to be unlocked. I still have a lot to do to unlock those energies, emotions and exploration for myself. So anytime I get to put the shoes on, it’s an opportunity to unlock those things,” Johnson said in an interview with The Crimson. Born and raised in Flint, Mich., the youngest of three girls, Johnson was put in tap dance by her parents to follow her sisters’ footsteps. While her sisters eventually moved away from tap dance, Johnson stuck with it. As Johnson kept dancing throughout her early life, she came to love it deeply. She would dance everywhere. In her words, “My feet were always moving.” When it came to choosing tap dance as a career, she said, “I needed money. A friend of mine shared with me a studio that was looking for a tap teacher, so I started teaching many kids tap there, and I really just fell in love with it — and it became a career.” Education is a major part of Johnson’s company, Sole Defined, which she co-founded with another performing artist. Sole Defined has two branches — one is focused on staging live shows, and the other goes around the world teaching students literacy (识字) and math skills through tap dance. “We’re able to tap into students’ background knowledge about different things, which they may not learn by just sitting in a classroom and memorizing. So using elements of tap dance like beat and allowing them to physically embody the knowledge in movement just betters their understanding,” she said. 4．What does Johnson think of tap dance? A．It takes a great deal of energy. B．It reduces her negative emotions. C．It serves as a tradition of her family. D．It is a lifelong process of self-exploration. 5．What led Johnson to choose tap dance as a career? A．Her talent in tap dance. B．Her passion for teaching tap. C．Pressures of everyday life. D．Requirements from her parents. 6．What does the teaching of Sole Defined feature? A．Giving lessons in the open air. B．Preparing students for live shows. C．Training students’ communicating skills. D．Connecting knowledge to body movements. 7．Which words can best describe Johnson? A．Energetic and elegant. B．Creative and devoted. C．Passionate and generous. D．Independent and reliable. 【答案】4．D 5．B 6．D 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过采访专业踢踏舞者及教育者Quynn Johnson，介绍了她对踢踏舞的热爱、职业生涯的起步以及她如何将教育融入踢踏舞教学，特别是通过她创办的公司Sole Defined开展的相关活动。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For professional tap dancer and educator Quynn Johnson, tap dance (踢踏舞) is a never-ending process. (对于专业踢踏舞者兼教育家Quynn Johnson来说，踢踏舞是一个永无止境的探索过程。)”以及第二段““There are levels of tap dance that for me still have yet to be unlocked. I still have a lot to do to unlock those energies, emotions and exploration for myself. So anytime I get to put the shoes on, it’s an opportunity to unlock those things,” Johnson said in an interview with The Crimson. (“对我而言，踢踏舞还有许多层面有待解锁。我仍有很多事情要做，才能为自己解锁那些能量、情感与探索空间。所以，每次穿上踢踏舞鞋，都是一次解锁这些事物的机会。”Johnson在接受《克里姆森报》采访时说道。)”可知，Johnson认为踢踏舞是一个永无止境的过程，还有许多层面有待探索，每次跳舞都是解锁能量、情感和探索空间的机会，即踢踏舞是一个终身的自我探索过程。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When it came to choosing tap dance as a career, she said, “I needed money. A friend of mine shared with me a studio that was looking for a tap teacher, so I started teaching many kids tap there, and I really just fell in love with it -and it became a career.”(谈到选择踢踏舞作为职业时，她说：“我当时需要赚钱。一个朋友跟我说，有家工作室在找踢踏舞老师，于是我就开始在那儿教很多孩子跳踢踏舞，而且我是真的爱上了这份工作——它就这样成了我的职业。”)”可知，Johnson最初是为了赚钱开始教孩子踢踏舞，但在教学过程中深深爱上了这份工作，最终使其成为职业。因此，教踢踏舞的热爱让Johnson选择踢踏舞作为职业。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““We’re able to tap into students’ background knowledge about different things, which they may not learn by just sitting in a classroom and memorizing. So using elements of tap dance like beat and allowing them to physically embody the knowledge in movement just betters their understanding,” she said.(“我们能够挖掘学生在各种事物上的背景知识，这些知识单靠坐在教室里死记硬背可能学不到。所以，运用踢踏舞中的节拍等元素，让他们通过肢体动作亲身‘体现’知识，能加深他们的理解。”她说道。)”可知，其教学特色是将知识与身体动作相结合。故选D。 7．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While her sisters eventually moved away from tap dance, Johnson stuck with it.(尽管姐姐们最终都放弃了踢踏舞，但Johnson却坚持了下来。)”可知，她对这一领域的投入；再根据文章最后一段““We’re able to tap into students’ background knowledge about different things, which they may not learn by just sitting in a classroom and memorizing. So using elements of tap dance like beat and allowing them to physically embody the knowledge in movement just betters their understanding,” she said.(“我们能够挖掘学生在各种事物上的背景知识，这些知识单靠坐在教室里死记硬背可能学不到。所以，运用踢踏舞中的节拍等元素，让他们通过肢体动作亲身‘体现’知识，能加深他们的理解。”她说道。)”可知，她与他人共同创立的 Sole Defined 通过踢踏舞的节拍等元素，让学生通过肢体动作理解知识，体现了其创造性。故选B。 C When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That might not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music. Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露)to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing. The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect. One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆)research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. She said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing. 8．Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text? A．Becoming famous. B．Getting courage to try new things. C．Encouraging them to do things well. D．Having better brain health in later life. 9．What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Typical. B．Absolute. C．Positive. D．Sufficient. 10．According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults? A．It encourages them to sing more. B．It lowers the chance of developing dementia. C．It provides a relaxing mind in their free time. D．It helps them stay physically active. 11．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A．To explain the importance of a hobby. B．To describe that singing is good for health. C．To tell us what we should do in daily life. D．To encourage people to join in music activities. 【答案】8．D 9．C 10．B 11．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究发现演奏乐器和唱歌对人晚年的大脑健康有益，尤其能降低患痴呆症的风险。 8．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life.(一项研究发现，演奏乐器可能会使人在晚年拥有更好的大脑健康)”可知，孩子们学习乐器的一个好处是在晚年拥有更好的大脑健康。故选D项。 9．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect.(研究发现，演奏乐器，尤其是钢琴，与更好的记忆力和思维能力有关。研究还发现，晚年继续演奏乐器会产生更salutary效果)”可知，“salutary”在这里与“better”呼应，表达积极的、有益的意思。故选C项。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia.(她说：“有很多证据表明，音乐团体活动对痴呆症患者有益。”她还建议，这样的活动可以用来降低患痴呆症的风险)”可知，Anne认为音乐可以降低老年人患痴呆症的几率。故选B项。 11．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That might not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music.(但这里有个理由，家长们可以用它来激励孩子尝试：一项研究发现，演奏乐器或许能让他们在晚年拥有更健康的大脑。对于那些有其他更想做的事情的孩子来说，这可能不足以起到鼓励作用，但对那些热爱音乐的孩子而言，这无疑是个好消息)”和最后一段“Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing.(在参与调查的人中，89%的人说他们在生活中的某个时候玩过乐器，大约一半的人仍然在玩乐器。大约七成的人说他们参加过集体演唱)”并结合文中对该研究的介绍可知，文章主要介绍了演奏乐器和唱歌对大脑健康的益处，尤其是对老年人降低患痴呆症风险有帮助，且最后提到参与调查的人多数有过相关音乐活动经历，由此可推断作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励人们参与音乐活动。故选D项。 D The threat of language extinction isn’t new. But there are ways to save at-risk languages, as well. For the past two decades, Garifuna artists have used a cultural foundation — dance music — to inspire young Garifuna people to learn and share their native language. Much of the Garifuna people’s history is passed down not just by words, but by song and dance, such as the jankunu. Elements of the Garifuna culture — including music, dance, and language — were listed as a UNESCO Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2001. Around the same time, Garifuna musicians and cultural activists put for ward a plan: to create songs entirely in Garifuna to unit e young Garifuna people to learn the language. Palacio, a leader in the cultural movement, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form the Garifuna Collective band in 2007. Their Garifuna lyrics sent a powerful message: it’s time to defend our culture. After multiple world tours and international music awards, “The Garifuna Collective put Garifuna on the international map, and we are optimistic about it,” said Palacio. Although Palacio passed away in 2008, his songs, and the works of Garifuna musical activists across Central America, lit a cultural flame for Garifuna people worldwide. Musician Lovell adopted the language at the age of 16 to follow in the footsteps of his favorite Garifuna musician and cultural revivalist. Lovell became part of a larger grassroots (基层) effort to teach the language in New York. Increasingly, many Garifuna language lessons are now available online. Another set of musicians were inspired by Palacio’s message, such as the founders of Battle of the Drums, an international music competition in Belize. This famous staff helps elementary and high schools in Belize teach the Garifuna culture and language through music—a strategy borrowed by other language professors who teach Garifuna through songs. Will music save the Garifuna language? Garifuna remains on UNESCO’s endangered language list which was last updated in 2010. It seems that this kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road. 12．Why did artists plan to create songs entirely in Garifuna? A．To save their language. B．To refresh their dance. C．To gain international fame. D．To promote their music. 13．What can we infer about Palacio from paragraph 3? A．He saved their language successfully. B．He contributed to defending his country. C．He played a crucial role in the movement. D．He founded the most popular band at that time. 14．What can we learn from the examples in paragraphs 4 and 5? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Where there is a will, there is a way. C．Music goes beyond boundaries. D．One person can make a difference to another. 15．What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of Garifuna language? A．Uncertain. B．Optimistic. C．Pessimistic. D．Unconcerned. 【答案】12．A 13．C 14．D 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了加里富纳人通过音乐和文化活动努力拯救濒危的加里富纳语。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Around the same time, Garifuna musicians and cultural activists put forward a plan: to create songs entirely in Garifuna to unite young Garifuna people to learn the language.(大约在同一时期，加里富纳音乐家和文化活动家提出了一项计划：创作完全用加里富纳语演唱的歌曲，以团结年轻的加里富纳人学习这门语言。)”可知，艺术家们计划创作完全用加里富纳语演唱的歌曲是为了拯救他们的语言。故选A。 13．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Palacio, a leader in the cultural movement, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form the Garifuna Collective band in 2007.(帕拉西奥是这场文化运动的领袖，2007年，他召集了中美洲各地的加里富纳音乐家，组建了加里富纳集体乐队。)”以及“Although Palacio passed away in 2008, his songs, and the works of Garifuna musical activists across Central America, lit a cultural flame for Garifuna people worldwide.(尽管帕拉西奥于2008年去世，但他的歌曲，以及中美洲各地加里富纳音乐活动家的作品，为全球加里富纳人点燃了文化之火。)”可知，帕拉西奥是这场文化运动的领袖，为拯救加里富纳语做出了巨大贡献，由此可推断出，帕拉西奥在这场运动中发挥了关键作用。故选C。 14．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Musician Lovell adopted the language at the age of 16 to follow in the footsteps of his favorite Garifuna musician and cultural revivalist. Lovell became part of a larger grassroots (基层) effort to teach the language in New York.(音乐家洛弗尔16岁时就学会了这种语言，以追随他最喜欢的加里富纳音乐家和文化复兴者的脚步。洛弗尔成为了在纽约教授这门语言的更大规模的基层努力的一部分。)”以及第五段中“Another set of musicians were inspired by Palacio’s message, such as the founders of Battle of the Drums, an international music competition in Belize.(另一组音乐家受到了帕拉西奥信息的启发，比如伯利兹国际音乐比赛“鼓之战”的创始人。)”可知，第四段和第五段主要讲述了洛弗尔和“鼓之战”的创始人受到帕拉西奥的影响，分别在纽约和伯利兹教授加里富纳语，由此可推断出，从第四段和第五段的例子中我们可以了解到一个人可以对另一个人产生影响。故选D。 15．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Garifuna remains on UNESCO’s endangered language list which was last updated in 2010.

Music profoundly impacts our body, mind, and mood — a world without it would not be as good. 16 Some parents recognize its value and encourage children to learn or listen to music, but others overlook its importance. Here’s why music matters for children: First, music enhances children’s intelligence. Studies show that children who learn music often have better thinking abilities than those not interested in it. 17 Music also calms children and lowers stress. Today’s children face academic pressure, and excessive stress harms their health. 18 19 Some children are naturally shy. They seem lost in their thoughts and don’t notice things around them. In such cases, “music therapy” is used to help — lifting their spirits and renewing their energy. Moreover, music is a universal language. Our world has become a global village. 20 Learning music helps children understand diverse cultural traditions. Clearly, music is vital not only for adults but also for children. Thus, we should encourage children to engage with music. A．Then, is music good for children? B．Music can improve children’s moods. C．Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better. D．Music is shared between every culture and generation. E．Music can help you recognize and remember information better. F．This is because the brain gets inspired by the rhythm and tone of music. G．People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. 【答案】16．A 17．F 18．C 19．B 20．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了音乐对儿童的重要性，从多个益处进行了说明，旨在鼓励儿童接触和参与音乐活动。 16．空前“Listening to music is beneficial for adults, and science proves it. Music profoundly impacts our body, mind, and mood — a world without it would not be as good.(听音乐对成年人有益，这是有科学依据的。音乐对我们的身体、心灵和情绪都有着深远的影响——一个没有音乐的世界会逊色不少。)”提到音乐对成年人有益；而空后“Some parents recognize its value and encourage children to learn or listen to music, but others overlook its importance.(有些父母意识到了音乐的价值，会鼓励孩子学习或聆听音乐，但另一些父母却忽视了它的重要性。)”指出父母对于音乐对孩子的价值持不同态度；选项A“Then, is music good for children?(那么，音乐对孩子们有益吗？)”自然引出疑问，从音乐对成年人有益转向音乐对孩子是否有益的话题，衔接后文父母态度的对比，符合语境。故选A。 17．空前“Studies show that children who learn music often have better thinking abilities than those not interested in it.(研究表明，学习音乐的孩子往往比那些对音乐不感兴趣的孩子拥有更好的思维能力。)”指出学音乐的孩子思维能力更好。选项F“This is because the brain gets inspired by the rhythm and tone of music.(这是因为大脑会受到音乐节奏和音调的启发。)”直接解释了音乐提升智力的原理，与前文逻辑一致。故选F。 18．上文“Music also calms children and lowers stress. Today’s children face academic pressure, and excessive stress harms their health.(音乐还能让孩子平静下来，减轻压力。如今的孩子面临着学业压力，而过度的压力会损害他们的健康。)”指出音乐可以减压，并提出孩子面临学业压力危害健康的问题。选项C“Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better.(幸运的是，听音乐能帮助他们感觉好一些。)”呼应了音乐能平静孩子情绪、减轻压力的观点，解决了前文提出的压力问题。故选C。 19．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Some children are naturally shy. They seem lost in their thoughts and don’t notice things around them. In such cases, “music therapy” is used to help—lifting their spirits and renewing their energy.(有些孩子天生害羞，他们似乎沉浸在自己的思绪里，留意不到周围的事物。在这种情况下，人们会用‘音乐疗法’来帮助他们——让他们振作精神，重焕活力。)”可知，本段主要讲音乐疗法能帮助害羞的孩子振作精神、恢复活力，核心是音乐对情绪的积极影响。选项B“Music can improve children’s moods.(音乐能改善孩子的情绪)”作为段落主题句，概括了后文内容，符合逻辑。故选B。 20．空前“Our world has become a global village.(我们的世界已经变成了一个地球村。)”指出目前世界全球化这一现状。而空后“Learning music helps children understand diverse cultural traditions.(学习音乐能帮助孩子们了解不同的文化传统。)”则解释了音乐能帮助孩子们了解不同的文化传统。选项G“People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries.(人们对其他文化和国家的兴趣越来越浓厚。)”承上启下，指出随着世界变成一个地球村，人们开始对其他文化感兴趣，而音乐能帮助孩子们了解不同的文化。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When the host announced my choir (合唱队) won the second place, I couldn’t believe it.

You’ll do the solo in the school hall that day.” My throat tightened. I stared at her for a while. The band director was looking right at me. So was everyone else. Saying no to Ms. Reed was like trying to stop an avalanche (雪崩). “OK!” I said unwillingly, trying to hide my hopelessness. In fact, stage fright wasn’t just a fear; it was a storm I couldn’t escape. Kelly, the violin star, passed me and made fun of me. “You’ve never done a solo, right? Don’t mess up! By the way, the Youth Symphony’s (青年交响乐团的) director is coming. I’m sure he’ll love your nerves.” Her words felt like a knife, I’d dreamed of playing in the Youth Symphony for a long time. However, I could only play great in the basement (地下室) of my home. It’s comfortable down there — just me, my sax (萨克斯), my music stand and a couple of spiders(蜘蛛) as my audience. I like to practice at night, and no one can hear me in the basement. When I got home, I began to think about the performance piece. I grabbed a sheet of music, “Summertime.” I spent hours practicing and perfecting it. But doubt washed over me. “What if I freeze?” I was in low spirits for several days. “You’re not alone,” Jill, my best friend, said in a low voice one day after school and came along with me to my basement. “Imagine the crowd is a group of spiders (蜘蛛),” she suggested. Her thought felt funny, but her support relieved my anxiety a little. “It’s no use. I just felt comfortable here,” I replied. “If I could do my solo here, it’d be no problem.” “Why can’t the school hall feel like your basement?” Jill shouted excitedly. “Will it work if you see a photo of your basement?” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hearing her words, I suddenly had an idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Ms. Reed signaled to me, I stood up with a photo taped on my sax. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Hearing her words, I suddenly had an idea. I took out my phone and snapped a few pictures of my basement — the dusty floor, the old chair, even the corner where the spiders lived. I printed one and taped it to my sax. Every day until the performance, I practiced in front of the photo. Slowly, the fear that once choked me began to loosen its grip. Jill came every evening to listen and cheer me on. Her presence made me believe that maybe, just maybe, I could do this. I told myself the school hall would be just another room, and the audience — just another group of spiders. When Ms. Reed signaled to me, I stood up with a photo taped on my sax. My heart was pounding, but I took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. The hall was full, and the Youth Symphony’s director sat in the front row. I looked down at the photo on my sax and smiled slightly. Then I began to play “Summertime.” The notes flowed smoothly, just like in my basement. As I played, I forgot the crowd, forgot Kelly, and even forgot myself. The music carried me away. When I finished, silence filled the hall for a second — then loud applause. I did it. 【导语】本文以凯文的萨克斯独奏经历为线索，讲述了凯文被乐队指挥里德女士安排在学校礼堂独奏，却因严重的舞台恐惧症而倍感绝望。在好友吉尔的建议下，他尝试将学校礼堂想象成自己熟悉的地下室，并想到用地下室照片来缓解紧张的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听到她的话，我突然有了一个主意。”可知，第一段可描写凯文拍下地下室的照片贴在萨克斯上，每天对着照片练习，在吉尔的鼓励下，逐渐减轻恐惧，开始相信自己能完成独奏的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当里德女士向我示意时，我站起身来，萨克斯上贴着那张照片。”可知，第二段可描写凯文在里德女士示意下上台，看着萨克斯上的照片，平静地演奏《夏日时光》，最终成功完成独奏，赢得掌声的情景。 2. 续写线索：产生想法——拍摄照片——练习缓解恐惧——上台演奏——成功完成——获得掌声 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①拍摄照片：snap a few pictures /take a few photos ②练习：practice/keep practicing ③演奏：play/perform 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/terror ②鼓励：cheer on/encourage 【点睛】[高分句型1] Slowly, the fear that once choked me began to loosen its grip.（运用了that引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] As I played, I forgot the crowd, forgot Kelly, and even forgot myself.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] When I finished, silence filled the hall for a second — then loud applause.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
