Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Since first taking place in 1999, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has become one of the USA’s most popular events. Alongside attracting major acts such as Rage Against the Machine, Jay Z, and Kesha, Coachella is also known for its huge contemporary art facilities. Glastonbury Festival It’s come to be known as one of the most musically diverse festivals around, with performances from idols (偶像) including Stevie Wonder and David Bowie to lesser-known acts just waiting to be discovered. It has also been the subject of a number of documentaries — firstly, Nicolas Roeg and Peter Neal’s Glastonbury Fayre in 1971 and most recently in Julien Temple’s 2006 film Glastonbury. Roskilde Festival Denmark’s Roskilde Festival, held each year since 1971, is one of the world’s longest-running festivals, and today is an eight-day long musical extravaganza (盛会) attracting over 100, 000 attendants each year. Featuring around 175 music acts across eight stages, Roskilde Festival has welcomed big names like Bob Marley, Metallica, and The Rolling Stones over the course of its history. Newport Folk Festival During its early years, the festival is credited with introducing several then — rising stars of the folk scene to a wider audience including Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Jose Feliciano. In 1965, Newport Folk Festival made history as the site of Dylan’s disputable choice to “go electric” — a decision which resulted in a chorus of boos (喝倒彩) from folk purists among the festival crowd. 21．What is a special feature of Glastonbury Festival? A．It lasts the longest time. B．It features lesser-known acts. C．It is the most famous music festival. D．It is the theme of many documentaries. 22．Which festival went down in history for an artist’s debatable choice? A．Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. B．Glastonbury Festival. C．Newport Folk Festival. D．Roskilde Festival. 23．What do the four music festivals have in common? A．They take place every other year. B．They welcome famous stars. C．They attract millions of attendants. D．They are popular among composers. B Throughout all the events in my life, one in particular sticks out more than the others. As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful. It was my twelfth year of dancing and I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness. However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (舞蹈指导). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well. With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda’s expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out. As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining, gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion. 24．What did the author think her dancing would be for the twelfth year? A．A change for the better. B．A disappointment as before. C．A proof of her potential. D．A pride of her teachers and friends. 25．How did Shanda help the author? A．By offering her help with money. B．By entering her in a competition. C．By awakening her passion for dancing. D．By coaching her for longer hours. 26．How did the author feel when she stepped on the stage? A．Nervous. B．Relaxed. C．Confused. D．Proud. 27．What can we learn from the author’s story? A．Success lies in patience. B．Fame is what the young long for. C．A good teacher really matters. D．A youth is to be treated with respect. C If you ever visit an English village, make sure to look out for Morris dance. Undoubtedly as one of the strangest traditions of English culture, Morris dance is a form of folk dance that dates back to the 15th century. If you ever get the chance, you really have to see it. Men and women wearing old-fashioned and worn clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Women wear long, frilly (多褶边的) skirts and men wear short trousers with bells attached (系) to them. They dance to traditional folk music which is often played on traditional musical instruments. Some groups carry heavy black sticks with which they beat against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air while they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when it’s over, the dancers and the audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The celebrations will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again. Morris dance is a great English tradition but it’s facing a big crisis (危机). As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining Morris dance groups. The dancers are getting older and older and finally, if nothing is done to change this trend, the tradition will die out within the next few decades. If you’ve ever had the fortune to see Morris dance, you may catch on to why teenagers aren’t rushing to sign up. Putting it to the point, it’s not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to do. Why dress up in bells and funny clothes when you could go clubbing? Or play sport? Or do anything else? However, it would be a great pity to lose such a fun and lively part of England’s history and culture. It’s important to preserve some traditions and customs especially when it’s something as harmless and happy as Morris dance. So here’s a toast to the next generation of would-be Morris dancers! 28．What do we know about the Morris dancers? A．They dance in pubs late into the night. B．They sing folk songs while they dance. C．They wear long dresses with bells attached. D．They perform with sticks or handkerchiefs. 29．What is the present situation of Morris dance? A．It holds little attraction for young people. B．It is keeping pace with people’s demands. C．It has been protected by the government. D．It is being changed by modern people. 30．What does the underlined phrase “catch on to” mean? A．Predict. B．Understand. C．Object. D．Complain. 31．What is the text mainly about? A．The origin of Morris dance. B．The popularity of Morris dance. C．The protection of Morris dance. D．The introduction of Morris dance. D A quiet space is often considered essential for achieving the concentration that leads to academic success. But research shows that some students may benefit from breaking the silence with certain kinds of music while they study. Music has a powerful influence on both the body and the brain, in ways that can help students navigate the physical and emotional barriers that come with academic challenges. One US study compared students who took a test to soft music with those who took the test under silent conditions. The study found that students taking a test to music not only completed more questions within a set time but also answered more questions correctly. Music has been further linked to improvements in memory and recall. Experts have found that when music stimulates mood and motivation, students are able to learn more and to better demonstrate their knowledge. A bit of mood music affects more than just memory and recall when students hit the books. Music can also relieve stress associated with school. Scientists have learned that music engages the autonomic nervous system, which not only controls the unconscious functions of the body but also influences emotions. So it’s no surprise that researchers from the Group Health Research Institute concluded that certain kinds of background music can be just as effective at reducing stress as a massage. Furthermore, while the brain feels better with music, the body may as well. Research shows that certain types of music can make physical pain feel less intense. What’s more, calming music with a steady, meditative rhythm can help people sleep longer and more deeply. However, some educators express concern that listening to music while trying to concentrate may do more harm than good. Loud music may have a negative influence on a student’s mood or act as a distraction. Actually, the best approach may depend on the students themselves. Listening to music during study time may not mean a guaranteed A for all students, but those who find it helpful should be allowed to plug in their headphones. 32．What does the underlined word “navigate” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．Recognize. B．Overcome. C．Assess. D．Create. 33．What can we learn from this passage? A．Music helps students get rid of physical pain. B．Loud music has the same calming effect as a massage. C．Listening to music makes it easier for students to multitask. D．Music helps students better remember relevant information. 34．The author writes Paragraph 3 mainly to ______. A．present the effects of music on mind and body B．compare the functions of different types of music C．confirm the impacts of music on memory and recall D．give examples of the influences of music on emotions 35．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A．The Power of Silence B．Music to a Patient C．The Score to Better Scores D．Road to Academic Success 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。 Music’s role is much more than entertainment. Scientific studies show it activates nearly every brain region and keeps lots of brain networks strong, including those networks about emotion, happiness, movement and learning. 36 For example, hospitals use calming music to ease patients’ anxiety before operation, which proves music can touch emotions beyond words. Neuroscientists find that familiar songs set off dopamine (多巴胺) release, creating natural joy without medication. Music also builds bridges where words fail. At global events like the Olympics, national anthems (国歌) unite audience, stirring up strong emotional resonance (共鸣). 37 The result turned out as expected. Researchers from MIT found that singing in a choir may reduce loneliness and increase interest in life among diverse older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease who lost some memory. 38 Studies showed that music therapy can help older adults with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders improve their walking and reduce falls. Music improves the performance in study. 39 More surprisingly, language learners mastering vocabulary through song lyrics progressed 30% faster than traditional methods. Students learning art report higher productivity with background instrumental music — brainwave synchronization explains this boost. Everyone can access its benefits without training. Try exploring free music apps, sharing meaningful songs with friends, or attending local concerts. Even singing softly to yourself when stressed can lower blood pressure. 40 Its power is everywhere, ready for you to find and use. A．Music helps the old people feel much happier. B．Music even shows promise in preventing injury. C．Music provides emotional benefits in many ways. D．Doctors often play soft music to relax the patients. E．As Plato noted, “Music gives soul to the universe.” F．Students listening to classical pieces show 20% better concentration. G．Scientists examined whether music could improve old people’s well-being. 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 I was younger, I didn’t like music at all.

She was shy, standing outside his shop, half-hidden beside the door. She spent ten minutes outside the door, building up her courage, then grasped the door handle and slipped into the shop. She timidly (腼腆地) approached the shopkeeper. Her eyes wandered around, attracted by the wonderful variety of instruments. “I want to buy a ukulele (四弦吉他),” she said, almost in a whisper. “Certainly,” replied the shopkeeper warmly, hoping to put her at ease. He led his customer to the section where the ukuleles were displayed. Surveying the selection of wooden instruments mounted on the wall, he remembered the sense of satisfaction he’d had in creating each one. “I have several models available. Beginner models start at 30 dollars. They’re not top quality, but they’re easier to get a sound out if you’ve never played before. Mid-range instruments are between eighty and a hundred dollars, with a higher quality,” he said. Her dark eyes were open wide, staring at the instruments in wonder. “I only have 25 dollars,” she said softly. He felt a sense of pity. “Well,” he said, “I have good news for you. First-time customers get a thirty percent discount.” A spark flashed to life in her eyes, and she looked at him with hope. He took down the ukulele and handed it to her. “So you can have this one for twenty-one.” Her hands closed around the instrument like it was the most precious thing she’d ever held. She handed him the money and rushed out of the shop, as if she were afraid he would change his mind. It was a warm summer afternoon, three years later, when he took out his ukulele to practice. His window was open to the fresh night breeze. Making instruments was how he made his living, and playing them was his favorite. As his body moved with the music he played, he created a story in the air. But it was a long time before he realized he had an echo (回声), and seemingly someone was copying him. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Surprised, he stopped playing and listened, and there was silence. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Come inside and I’ll teach you to play it the way it is meant to be played,” he said to the girl. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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·提升卷） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150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 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Where did the woman have lunch?

Roskilde Festival Denmark’s Roskilde Festival, held each year since 1971, is one of the world’s longest-running festivals, and today is an eight-day long musical extravaganza (盛会) attracting over 100, 000 attendants each year. Featuring around 175 music acts across eight stages, Roskilde Festival has welcomed big names like Bob Marley, Metallica, and The Rolling Stones over the course of its history. Newport Folk Festival During its early years, the festival is credited with introducing several then — rising stars of the folk scene to a wider audience including Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Jose Feliciano. In 1965, Newport Folk Festival made history as the site of Dylan’s disputable choice to “go electric” — a decision which resulted in a chorus of boos (喝倒彩) from folk purists among the festival crowd. 21．What is a special feature of Glastonbury Festival?

(在早期，音乐节被认为是向更多的观众介绍了几位当时正在崛起的民谣明星，包括琼·贝兹、鲍勃·迪伦和何塞·费利西亚诺。)”可知，四个音乐会的共同点是吸引了众多大牌明星的加盟。故选B。 B Throughout all the events in my life, one in particular sticks out more than the others. As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful. It was my twelfth year of dancing and I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness. However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (舞蹈指导). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well. With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda’s expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out. As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining, gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion. 24．What did the author think her dancing would be for the twelfth year? A．A change for the better. B．A disappointment as before. C．A proof of her potential. D．A pride of her teachers and friends. 25．How did Shanda help the author? A．By offering her help with money.

C．Confused. D．Proud. 27．What can we learn from the author’s story? A．Success lies in patience. B．Fame is what the young long for. C．A good teacher really matters. D．A youth is to be treated with respect. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在舞蹈生涯中遇到导师Shanda后，重拾信心并爱上舞蹈的故事。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段“It was my twelfth year of dancing and I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness. (那是我跳舞的第12个年头，我以为会像往年一样：陷入空虚，被人遗忘，没有任何老师或朋友相信我真的有潜力取得伟大成就。)”可知，作者原本以为她的第12年舞蹈生涯会像以前一样令人失望。故选B。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (舞蹈指导). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. (然而，我遇到了年轻有才华的舞蹈指导Shanda。她影响我尽我所能地工作，当我想放弃时，她推动我继续前进，鼓励我，并向我展示了舞蹈的真正重要性。)”和最后一段中“Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion. (多亏了Shanda，舞蹈不仅成为我的爱好，更成为我的激情。)”可知，Shanda唤醒了作者对舞蹈的热爱。故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name.

(多亏了Shanda，舞蹈不仅成为我的爱好，更成为我的激情。)”可知，从作者的故事中我们可以学到一个好老师真的很重要。故选C。 C If you ever visit an English village, make sure to look out for Morris dance. Undoubtedly as one of the strangest traditions of English culture, Morris dance is a form of folk dance that dates back to the 15th century. If you ever get the chance, you really have to see it. Men and women wearing old-fashioned and worn clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Women wear long, frilly (多褶边的) skirts and men wear short trousers with bells attached (系) to them. They dance to traditional folk music which is often played on traditional musical instruments. Some groups carry heavy black sticks with which they beat against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air while they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when it’s over, the dancers and the audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The celebrations will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again. Morris dance is a great English tradition but it’s facing a big crisis (危机). As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining Morris dance groups. The dancers are getting older and older and finally, if nothing is done to change this trend, the tradition will die out within the next few decades. If you’ve ever had the fortune to see Morris dance, you may catch on to why teenagers aren’t rushing to sign up. Putting it to the point, it’s not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to do. Why dress up in bells and funny clothes when you could go clubbing? Or play sport? Or do anything else? However, it would be a great pity to lose such a fun and lively part of England’s history and culture. It’s important to preserve some traditions and customs especially when it’s something as harmless and happy as Morris dance. So here’s a toast to the next generation of would-be Morris dancers! 28．What do we know about the Morris dancers? A．They dance in pubs late into the night. B．They sing folk songs while they dance. C．They wear long dresses with bells attached. D．They perform with sticks or handkerchiefs. 29．What is the present situation of Morris dance? A．It holds little attraction for young people. B．It is keeping pace with people’s demands. C．It has been protected by the government. D．It is being changed by modern people. 30．What does the underlined phrase “catch on to” mean? A．Predict. B．Understand. C．Object. D．Complain. 31．What is the text mainly about? A．The origin of Morris dance. B．The popularity of Morris dance. C．The protection of Morris dance. D．The introduction of Morris dance. 【答案】28．D 29．A 30．B 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍英国莫里斯舞的形式、舞者装扮、现状及传承困境。 28．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Some groups carry heavy black sticks with which they beat against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air while they perform.(一些团体拿着沉重的黑色棍子，在跳舞时互相击打。其他团体在表演时向空中挥舞手帕。)”可知，莫里斯舞者会用棍子或手帕进行表演。故选D项。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining Morris dance groups. The dancers are getting older and older and finally, if nothing is done to change this trend, the tradition will die out within the next few decades.(随着时间的推移，越来越少的年轻人加入莫里斯舞蹈团体。舞者们越来越老，如果不采取措施改变这一趋势，这一传统将在未来几十年内消失。)”可知，莫里斯舞目前对年轻人几乎没有吸引力。故选A项。 30．词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“If you’ve ever had the fortune to see Morris dance, you may catch on to why teenagers aren’t rushing to sign up. Putting it to the point, it’s not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to do.(如果你有幸看过莫里斯舞，你可能会catch on to为什么青少年不会急于报名。说白了，对于一个18岁的年轻人来说，这并不是最酷的事情。)”可知，对于一个18岁的年轻人来说，莫里斯舞并不是最酷的事情，由此可知，看过莫里斯舞后，应该能理解青少年不报名的原因，所以“catch on to”意为“理解”。故选B项。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段引出莫里斯舞并介绍其历史；第二段描述舞者的服饰和伴奏；第三段说明表演形式和相关活动；第四、五段提及面临的危机及原因；最后一段表达对其传承的期盼，综合以上信息可知，本文整体是对莫里斯舞的全面介绍。故选D项。 D A quiet space is often considered essential for achieving the concentration that leads to academic success. But research shows that some students may benefit from breaking the silence with certain kinds of music while they study. Music has a powerful influence on both the body and the brain, in ways that can help students navigate the physical and emotional barriers that come with academic challenges. One US study compared students who took a test to soft music with those who took the test under silent conditions. The study found that students taking a test to music not only completed more questions within a set time but also answered more questions correctly. Music has been further linked to improvements in memory and recall. Experts have found that when music stimulates mood and motivation, students are able to learn more and to better demonstrate their knowledge. A bit of mood music affects more than just memory and recall when students hit the books. Music can also relieve stress associated with school. Scientists have learned that music engages the autonomic nervous system, which not only controls the unconscious functions of the body but also influences emotions. So it’s no surprise that researchers from the Group Health Research Institute concluded that certain kinds of background music can be just as effective at reducing stress as a massage. Furthermore, while the brain feels better with music, the body may as well. Research shows that certain types of music can make physical pain feel less intense. What’s more, calming music with a steady, meditative rhythm can help people sleep longer and more deeply. However, some educators express concern that listening to music while trying to concentrate may do more harm than good. Loud music may have a negative influence on a student’s mood or act as a distraction. Actually, the best approach may depend on the students themselves. Listening to music during study time may not mean a guaranteed A for all students, but those who find it helpful should be allowed to plug in their headphones. 32．What does the underlined word “navigate” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．Recognize. B．Overcome. C．Assess. D．Create. 33．What can we learn from this passage? A．Music helps students get rid of physical pain. B．Loud music has the same calming effect as a massage. C．Listening to music makes it easier for students to multitask. D．Music helps students better remember relevant information. 34．The author writes Paragraph 3 mainly to ______. A．present the effects of music on mind and body B．compare the functions of different types of music C．confirm the impacts of music on memory and recall D．give examples of the influences of music on emotions 35．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A．The Power of Silence B．Music to a Patient C．The Score to Better Scores D．Road to Academic Success 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．A 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究表明某些音乐对学生学习有益，能帮助克服障碍、提升成绩等，也提及相关争议。 32．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Music has a powerful influence on both the body and the brain, in ways that can help students navigate the physical and emotional barriers that come with academic challenges. (音乐对身体和大脑都有强大的影响，它可以帮助学生……学术挑战带来的身体和情感障碍。)”可知，音乐可以帮助学生克服障碍，由此可知，“navigate”在这里表示“克服”的意思，与“Overcome”含义相近。故选B项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Music has been further linked to improvements in memory and recall. Experts have found that when music stimulates mood and motivation, students are able to learn more and to better demonstrate their knowledge. (音乐还与记忆力和回忆力的提高有关。专家发现，当音乐激发情绪和动力时，学生能够学到更多东西，并更好地展示自己的知识。)”可知，音乐有助于学生更好地记住相关信息。故选D项。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段“A bit of mood music affects more than just memory and recall when students hit the books. Music can also relieve stress associated with school. (当学习时，一点情绪音乐不仅是影响记忆和回忆。音乐还可以缓解与学校有关的压力。)”以及“Research shows that certain types of music can make physical pain feel less intense. What’s more, calming music with a steady, meditative rhythm can help people sleep longer and more deeply. (研究表明，某些类型的音乐可以减轻身体疼痛的强度。此外，具有稳定、冥想式节奏的舒缓音乐能够帮助人们睡得更久、更沉。)”可知，第三段主要是为了列举音乐对身心的影响。故选A项。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Music has a powerful influence on both the body and the brain, in ways that can help students navigate the physical and emotional barriers that come with academic challenges. (音乐对身体和大脑都有强大的影响，可以帮助学生克服学业挑战带来的身体和情感障碍。)”可知，文章主要讲述了音乐对学生学习的积极影响，如提升记忆力、缓解压力等，有助于学生取得更好的成绩。“The Score to Better Scores”既体现了音乐（score也有乐谱之意），又与成绩（score）相关，能很好地概括全文主旨，所以适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选C项。 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。 Music’s role is much more than entertainment. Scientific studies show it activates nearly every brain region and keeps lots of brain networks strong, including those networks about emotion, happiness, movement and learning. 36 For example, hospitals use calming music to ease patients’ anxiety before operation, which proves music can touch emotions beyond words. Neuroscientists find that familiar songs set off dopamine (多巴胺) release, creating natural joy without medication. Music also builds bridges where words fail. At global events like the Olympics, national anthems (国歌) unite audience, stirring up strong emotional resonance (共鸣). 37 The result turned out as expected. Researchers from MIT found that singing in a choir may reduce loneliness and increase interest in life among diverse older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease who lost some memory. 38 Studies showed that music therapy can help older adults with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders improve their walking and reduce falls. Music improves the performance in study. 39 More surprisingly, language learners mastering vocabulary through song lyrics progressed 30% faster than traditional methods. Students learning art report higher productivity with background instrumental music — brainwave synchronization explains this boost. Everyone can access its benefits without training. Try exploring free music apps, sharing meaningful songs with friends, or attending local concerts. Even singing softly to yourself when stressed can lower blood pressure. 40 Its power is everywhere, ready for you to find and use. A．Music helps the old people feel much happier. B．Music even shows promise in preventing injury. C．Music provides emotional benefits in many ways. D．Doctors often play soft music to relax the patients. E．As Plato noted, “Music gives soul to the universe.” F．Students listening to classical pieces show 20% better concentration. G．Scientists examined whether music could improve old people’s well-being. 【答案】36．C 37．G 38．B 39．F 40．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐在多个方面对人类的好处，包括情感、健康、学习和社交等。 36．下文“For example, hospitals use calming music to ease patients’ anxiety before operation, which proves music can touch emotions beyond words.(例如，医院在手术前使用舒缓的音乐来缓解病人的焦虑，这证明了音乐可以触动言语无法表达的情感)”举例说明了音乐在情感上的益处，C选项“Music provides emotional benefits in many ways.(音乐在许多方面提供情感上的益处)”概括了下文的内容，且与首段“Music’s role is much more than entertainment. Scientific studies show it activates nearly every brain region and keeps lots of brain networks strong, including those networks about emotion, happiness, movement and learning.(音乐的作用不仅仅是娱乐。科学研究表明，它能激活几乎所有大脑区域，并保持许多大脑网络的强健，包括与情感、幸福、运动和学习相关的网络)”相呼应，进一步强调了音乐在情感方面的作用。故选C项。 37．下文“The result turned out as expected. Researchers from MIT found that singing in a choir may reduce loneliness and increase interest in life among diverse older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease who lost some memory.(结果正如预期的那样。麻省理工学院的研究人员发现，在合唱团唱歌可以减少不同老年人的孤独感，增加他们对生活的兴趣，包括那些失去部分记忆的阿尔茨海默病患者)”描述了科学家们对音乐能否改善老年人福祉的研究结果，G选项“Scientists examined whether music could improve old people’s well-being.(科学家们研究了音乐是否能改善老年人的福祉)”引出了下文的研究内容，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 38．下文“Studies showed that music therapy can help older adults with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders improve their walking and reduce falls.(研究表明，音乐疗法可以帮助患有帕金森病和其他运动障碍的老年人改善行走并减少跌倒)”描述了音乐疗法在预防老年人受伤方面的作用，B选项“Music even shows promise in preventing injury.(音乐甚至在预防受伤方面显示出潜力)”概括了下文的内容，且与上文“Researchers from MIT found that singing in a choir may reduce loneliness and increase interest in life among diverse older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease who lost some memory.(麻省理工学院的研究人员发现，在合唱团唱歌可以减少不同老年人的孤独感，增加他们对生活的兴趣，包括那些失去部分记忆的阿尔茨海默病患者)”形成并列关系，都是说明音乐对老年人的好处。故选B项。 39．上文“Music improves the performance in study.(音乐提高学习表现)”提出了音乐对学习的好处，F选项“Students listening to classical pieces show 20% better concentration.(听古典音乐的学生注意力更集中，提高了20%)”举例说明了音乐如何提高学习表现，即听古典音乐的学生注意力更集中，与上文语意连贯。故选F项。 40．上文“Try exploring free music apps, sharing meaningful songs with friends, or attending local concerts.

I stopped to listen. The music was lively, uplifting and full of 49 . I couldn’t help but lose myself in it. The performer noticed me and said, “Hey, you look like you’re 50 it!” I nodded and said, “Yeah.” He smiled and added, “Music can find its way into your heart.

The show was 56 (warm) welcomed by the audience (观众). What he did helped with the cultural exchanges between China and Europe by means of music. Lang Lang is one of the leading 57 (musician) in the classical music world. Though he put on thousands of shows worldwide, it was his first time 58 (play) the piano at the top of a snowy mountain. The low temperature 59 (make) it quite challenging for him. However, playing in a “fairytale-like” environment was a very special experience, according to Lang Lang. “The piece’ Jasmine Flower’ 60 (choose) specially for this show,” Lang Lang said, “I played this 61 (beauty) piece from my own culture. And I hope to make the audience interested 62 learning more about China through the beauty of Chinese music.” Before Lang Lang played 63 third piece, his fingers became a little cold, 64 he showed no fear of the heavy snow and the thin air. “This show means a lot to 65 (I). I hope we will do more cultural exchanges in the future so as to understand each other better and build a closer relationship between the two countries than before,” added Lang Lang. 【答案】 56．warmly 57．musicians 58．to play 59．made 60．was chosen 61．beautiful 62．in 63．the 64．but 65．me 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文讲述了中国钢琴家郎朗在瑞士中部最高的火车站，于雪山之巅演奏了《爱之梦》《茉莉花》和《哥德堡变奏曲》等曲目。此次演出受到观众热烈欢迎，促进了中欧文化交流，展现了郎朗在古典音乐界的地位以及他通过音乐增进文化理解的期望。 56．考查副词。句意：这场演出受到了观众的热烈欢迎。句中 welcomed 为动词，需用副词来修饰，warm是形容词，其副词形式为warmly，“warmly welcomed”表示“热烈欢迎”，符合句子语境。故填warmly。 57．考查名词复数。句意：郎朗是古典音乐界的领军音乐家之一。“one of the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”是常见结构，表示“最……之一”，musician意为“音乐家”，是可数名词，这里要用复数形式musicians。故填musicians。 58．考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管他在全球举办了数千场演出，但这是他第一次在雪山之巅弹奏钢琴。“It is/was one's first time to do sth.”是固定句型，意思是“这是某人第一次做某事”，所以这里要用动词不定式to play。故填to play。 59．考查动词时态。句意：低温使这对他来说颇具挑战性。根据上下文语境，这里描述的是过去发生的事情，所以要用一般过去时。make的过去式是 made。故填made。 60．考查动词时态语态。句意：“《茉莉花》这首曲子是为这场演出特别挑选的，”郎朗说。“The piece ‘Jasmine Flower’”是句子的主语，与 choose之间是被动关系，即“曲子被挑选”，且事情发生在过去，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态，结构为“was/were + 过去分词”。主语是单数，be动词用was，choose的过去分词是chosen。故填was chosen。 61．考查形容词。句意：我弹奏了这首来自我自己文化的美妙曲子。这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词piece，beauty是名词，其形容词形式为beautiful，意为“美妙的，美丽的”。故填beautiful。 62．考查介词。句意：我希望通过中国音乐之美，让观众有兴趣更多地了解中国。“be interested in”是固定短语，意思是“对……感兴趣”，所以这里填in。故填in。 63．考查冠词。句意：在郎朗弹奏第三首曲子之前，他的手指有点冷，但他并不惧怕大雪和稀薄的空气。在序数词前一般要用定冠词the，表示顺序“第三”。故填the。 64．考查连词。句意：在郎朗弹奏第三首曲子之前，他的手指有点冷，但他并不惧怕大雪和稀薄的空气。前一句提到手指冷，后一句说不惧怕恶劣环境，前后形成转折关系，所以用连词but。故填but。 65．考查代词。句意：“这场演出对我意义重大。我希望我们将来能进行更多的文化交流，以便更好地相互理解，使两国之间的关系比以前更紧密，”郎朗补充道。这里作介词to的宾语，要用宾格形式，I的宾格是me。故填me。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．假如你是李华，请以“Music Has Helped Me”为题，用英语写一篇演讲稿。 注意： 1. 词数 80 左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hello, my name is li Hua.

She was shy, standing outside his shop, half-hidden beside the door. She spent ten minutes outside the door, building up her courage, then grasped the door handle and slipped into the shop. She timidly (腼腆地) approached the shopkeeper. Her eyes wandered around, attracted by the wonderful variety of instruments. “I want to buy a ukulele (四弦吉他),” she said, almost in a whisper. “Certainly,” replied the shopkeeper warmly, hoping to put her at ease. He led his customer to the section where the ukuleles were displayed. Surveying the selection of wooden instruments mounted on the wall, he remembered the sense of satisfaction he’d had in creating each one. “I have several models available. Beginner models start at 30 dollars. They’re not top quality, but they’re easier to get a sound out if you’ve never played before. Mid-range instruments are between eighty and a hundred dollars, with a higher quality,” he said. Her dark eyes were open wide, staring at the instruments in wonder. “I only have 25 dollars,” she said softly. He felt a sense of pity. “Well,” he said, “I have good news for you. First-time customers get a thirty percent discount.” A spark flashed to life in her eyes, and she looked at him with hope. He took down the ukulele and handed it to her. “So you can have this one for twenty-one.” Her hands closed around the instrument like it was the most precious thing she’d ever held. She handed him the money and rushed out of the shop, as if she were afraid he would change his mind. It was a warm summer afternoon, three years later, when he took out his ukulele to practice. His window was open to the fresh night breeze. Making instruments was how he made his living, and playing them was his favorite. As his body moved with the music he played, he created a story in the air. But it was a long time before he realized he had an echo (回声), and seemingly someone was copying him. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Surprised, he stopped playing and listened, and there was silence. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Come inside and I’ll teach you to play it the way it is meant to be played,” he said to the girl. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Surprised, he stopped playing and listened, and there was silence. He frowned, wondering if he had just imagined it. But then, the soft music of a ukulele came again, hesitantly copying his melody. He walked over to the window and looked out. There, on the steps outside his shop sat a girl, her fingers nervously plucking the strings of a ukulele. It was the same girl from three years ago. She looked up, her eyes wide with surprise and a hint of fear. He waved at her, and she smiled nervously in return. He could see that she had grown taller, but her love for music remained the same. “Come inside and I’ll teach you to play it the way it is meant to be played,” he said to the girl. She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked inside. The shopkeeper led her to a small practice area and showed her how to hold the ukulele properly. He guided her through the basic chords, and she quickly caught on. Her passion for music was evident in every note she played. As they played together, he realized that his small act of kindness had not only sold a ukulele but also sparked a lifelong love for music in this young girl. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了九岁左右的女孩想买四弦吉他，店主谎称首次顾客有折扣，让她用25美元买下30美元的琴。三年后，店主发现女孩在店外模仿他弹琴，便邀请她进店教学，他的善举点燃了女孩对音乐的终身热爱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他惊讶地停下了演奏，侧耳倾听，四周一片寂静”可知，第一段可描写店主发现女孩在店外模仿他弹琴。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘进来吧，我会教你如何正确地弹奏这把吉他，’他对女孩说道”可知，第二段可描写店主邀请她进店教学，他的善举点燃了女孩对音乐的终身热爱。 2.续写线索：店主惊讶——发现女孩——女孩惊讶——店主教女孩弹奏——指导女孩演奏——店主感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①模仿：copy/imitate ②指导：guide/instruct ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②热情：passion/enthusiasm 【点睛】[高分句型1] He frowned, wondering if he had just imagined it.（运用了if引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] As they played together, he realized that his small act of kindness had not only sold a ukulele but also sparked a lifelong love for music in this young girl.（运用了as引导时间状语从句和that引导宾语从句） 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 $ Unit 5 Music（单元测试·提升卷） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150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 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Where did the woman have lunch?

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Since first taking place in 1999, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has become one of the USA’s most popular events. Alongside attracting major acts such as Rage Against the Machine, Jay Z, and Kesha, Coachella is also known for its huge contemporary art facilities. Glastonbury Festival It’s come to be known as one of the most musically diverse festivals around, with performances from idols (偶像) including Stevie Wonder and David Bowie to lesser-known acts just waiting to be discovered. It has also been the subject of a number of documentaries — firstly, Nicolas Roeg and Peter Neal’s Glastonbury Fayre in 1971 and most recently in Julien Temple’s 2006 film Glastonbury. Roskilde Festival Denmark’s Roskilde Festival, held each year since 1971, is one of the world’s longest-running festivals, and today is an eight-day long musical extravaganza (盛会) attracting over 100, 000 attendants each year. Featuring around 175 music acts across eight stages, Roskilde Festival has welcomed big names like Bob Marley, Metallica, and The Rolling Stones over the course of its history. Newport Folk Festival During its early years, the festival is credited with introducing several then — rising stars of the folk scene to a wider audience including Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Jose Feliciano. In 1965, Newport Folk Festival made history as the site of Dylan’s disputable choice to “go electric” — a decision which resulted in a chorus of boos (喝倒彩) from folk purists among the festival crowd. 21．What is a special feature of Glastonbury Festival?

D．It is the theme of many documentaries. 22．Which festival went down in history for an artist’s debatable choice? A．Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. B．Glastonbury Festival.

C．They attract millions of attendants. D．They are popular among composers. B Throughout all the events in my life, one in particular sticks out more than the others. As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful. It was my twelfth year of dancing and I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness. However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (舞蹈指导). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well. With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda’s expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out. As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining, gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion. 24．What did the author think her dancing would be for the twelfth year? A．A change for the better. B．A disappointment as before. C．A proof of her potential. D．A pride of her teachers and friends. 25．How did Shanda help the author? A．By offering her help with money. B．By entering her in a competition. C．By awakening her passion for dancing. D．By coaching her for longer hours. 26．How did the author feel when she stepped on the stage? A．Nervous. B．Relaxed. C．Confused. D．Proud. 27．What can we learn from the author’s story? A．Success lies in patience. B．Fame is what the young long for. C．A good teacher really matters. D．A youth is to be treated with respect. C If you ever visit an English village, make sure to look out for Morris dance. Undoubtedly as one of the strangest traditions of English culture, Morris dance is a form of folk dance that dates back to the 15th century. If you ever get the chance, you really have to see it. Men and women wearing old-fashioned and worn clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Women wear long, frilly (多褶边的) skirts and men wear short trousers with bells attached (系) to them. They dance to traditional folk music which is often played on traditional musical instruments. Some groups carry heavy black sticks with which they beat against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air while they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when it’s over, the dancers and the audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The celebrations will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again. Morris dance is a great English tradition but it’s facing a big crisis (危机). As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining Morris dance groups. The dancers are getting older and older and finally, if nothing is done to change this trend, the tradition will die out within the next few decades. If you’ve ever had the fortune to see Morris dance, you may catch on to why teenagers aren’t rushing to sign up. Putting it to the point, it’s not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to do. Why dress up in bells and funny clothes when you could go clubbing? Or play sport? Or do anything else? However, it would be a great pity to lose such a fun and lively part of England’s history and culture. It’s important to preserve some traditions and customs especially when it’s something as harmless and happy as Morris dance. So here’s a toast to the next generation of would-be Morris dancers! 28．What do we know about the Morris dancers? A．They dance in pubs late into the night. B．They sing folk songs while they dance. C．They wear long dresses with bells attached. D．They perform with sticks or handkerchiefs. 29．What is the present situation of Morris dance? A．It holds little attraction for young people. B．It is keeping pace with people’s demands. C．It has been protected by the government. D．It is being changed by modern people. 30．What does the underlined phrase “catch on to” mean? A．Predict. B．Understand. C．Object. D．Complain. 31．What is the text mainly about? A．The origin of Morris dance. B．The popularity of Morris dance. C．The protection of Morris dance. D．The introduction of Morris dance. D A quiet space is often considered essential for achieving the concentration that leads to academic success. But research shows that some students may benefit from breaking the silence with certain kinds of music while they study. Music has a powerful influence on both the body and the brain, in ways that can help students navigate the physical and emotional barriers that come with academic challenges. One US study compared students who took a test to soft music with those who took the test under silent conditions. The study found that students taking a test to music not only completed more questions within a set time but also answered more questions correctly. Music has been further linked to improvements in memory and recall. Experts have found that when music stimulates mood and motivation, students are able to learn more and to better demonstrate their knowledge. A bit of mood music affects more than just memory and recall when students hit the books. Music can also relieve stress associated with school. Scientists have learned that music engages the autonomic nervous system, which not only controls the unconscious functions of the body but also influences emotions. So it’s no surprise that researchers from the Group Health Research Institute concluded that certain kinds of background music can be just as effective at reducing stress as a massage. Furthermore, while the brain feels better with music, the body may as well. Research shows that certain types of music can make physical pain feel less intense. What’s more, calming music with a steady, meditative rhythm can help people sleep longer and more deeply. However, some educators express concern that listening to music while trying to concentrate may do more harm than good. Loud music may have a negative influence on a student’s mood or act as a distraction. Actually, the best approach may depend on the students themselves. Listening to music during study time may not mean a guaranteed A for all students, but those who find it helpful should be allowed to plug in their headphones. 32．What does the underlined word “navigate” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．Recognize. B．Overcome. C．Assess. D．Create. 33．What can we learn from this passage? A．Music helps students get rid of physical pain. B．Loud music has the same calming effect as a massage. C．Listening to music makes it easier for students to multitask. D．Music helps students better remember relevant information. 34．The author writes Paragraph 3 mainly to ______. A．present the effects of music on mind and body B．compare the functions of different types of music C．confirm the impacts of music on memory and recall D．give examples of the influences of music on emotions 35．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A．The Power of Silence B．Music to a Patient C．The Score to Better Scores D．Road to Academic Success 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。 Music’s role is much more than entertainment. Scientific studies show it activates nearly every brain region and keeps lots of brain networks strong, including those networks about emotion, happiness, movement and learning. 36 For example, hospitals use calming music to ease patients’ anxiety before operation, which proves music can touch emotions beyond words. Neuroscientists find that familiar songs set off dopamine (多巴胺) release, creating natural joy without medication. Music also builds bridges where words fail. At global events like the Olympics, national anthems (国歌) unite audience, stirring up strong emotional resonance (共鸣). 37 The result turned out as expected. Researchers from MIT found that singing in a choir may reduce loneliness and increase interest in life among diverse older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease who lost some memory. 38 Studies showed that music therapy can help older adults with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders improve their walking and reduce falls. Music improves the performance in study. 39 More surprisingly, language learners mastering vocabulary through song lyrics progressed 30% faster than traditional methods. Students learning art report higher productivity with background instrumental music — brainwave synchronization explains this boost. Everyone can access its benefits without training. Try exploring free music apps, sharing meaningful songs with friends, or attending local concerts. Even singing softly to yourself when stressed can lower blood pressure. 40 Its power is everywhere, ready for you to find and use. A．Music helps the old people feel much happier. B．Music even shows promise in preventing injury. C．Music provides emotional benefits in many ways. D．Doctors often play soft music to relax the patients. E．As Plato noted, “Music gives soul to the universe.” F．Students listening to classical pieces show 20% better concentration. G．Scientists examined whether music could improve old people’s well-being. 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 I was younger, I didn’t like music at all.

She was shy, standing outside his shop, half-hidden beside the door. She spent ten minutes outside the door, building up her courage, then grasped the door handle and slipped into the shop. She timidly (腼腆地) approached the shopkeeper. Her eyes wandered around, attracted by the wonderful variety of instruments. “I want to buy a ukulele (四弦吉他),” she said, almost in a whisper. “Certainly,” replied the shopkeeper warmly, hoping to put her at ease. He led his customer to the section where the ukuleles were displayed. Surveying the selection of wooden instruments mounted on the wall, he remembered the sense of satisfaction he’d had in creating each one. “I have several models available. Beginner models start at 30 dollars. They’re not top quality, but they’re easier to get a sound out if you’ve never played before. Mid-range instruments are between eighty and a hundred dollars, with a higher quality,” he said. Her dark eyes were open wide, staring at the instruments in wonder. “I only have 25 dollars,” she said softly. He felt a sense of pity. “Well,” he said, “I have good news for you. First-time customers get a thirty percent discount.” A spark flashed to life in her eyes, and she looked at him with hope. He took down the ukulele and handed it to her. “So you can have this one for twenty-one.” Her hands closed around the instrument like it was the most precious thing she’d ever held. She handed him the money and rushed out of the shop, as if she were afraid he would change his mind. It was a warm summer afternoon, three years later, when he took out his ukulele to practice. His window was open to the fresh night breeze. Making instruments was how he made his living, and playing them was his favorite. As his body moved with the music he played, he created a story in the air. But it was a long time before he realized he had an echo (回声), and seemingly someone was copying him. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Surprised, he stopped playing and listened, and there was silence. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Come inside and I’ll teach you to play it the way it is meant to be played,” he said to the girl. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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·提升卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） （参考答案） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C B C A B A A C B C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B A A B B C A B A C 第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分， 满分50分） 21．D 22．C 23．B 24．B 25．C 26．A 27．C 28．D 29．A 30．B 31．D 32．B 33．D 34．A 35．C 36．C 37．G 38．B 39．F 40．E 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） 41．D 42．C 43．B 44．A 45．B 46．C 47．D 48．A 49．B 50．D 51．B 52．C 53．A 54．C 55．D 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 56．warmly 57．musicians 58．to play 59．made 60．was chosen 61．beautiful 62．in 63．the 64．but 65．me 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） Hello, my name is Li Hua. I’m greatly honored to share with you my experience of how music has helped me. Have you ever been in deep sorrow wanting to do nothing? At 16, informed that my beloved grandma had been away forever, I was in low spirit for almost half a year till I came across You raise me up, a song sung by Westlife. It seized my heart! I finally got out of the haze. As Beethoven once said, “Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.” It’s absolutely true! Music encouraged me to relax my mind and soul. It’s like sunshine, which always warms my heart. Hoping that music can be your companion too. Thank you! 第二节（满分25分） Surprised, he stopped playing and listened, and there was silence. He frowned, wondering if he had just imagined it. But then, the soft music of a ukulele came again, hesitantly copying his melody. He walked over to the window and looked out. There, on the steps outside his shop sat a girl, her fingers nervously plucking the strings of a ukulele. It was the same girl from three years ago. She looked up, her eyes wide with surprise and a hint of fear. He waved at her, and she smiled nervously in return. He could see that she had grown taller, but her love for music remained the same. “Come inside and I’ll teach you to play it the way it is meant to be played,” he said to the girl. She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked inside. The shopkeeper led her to a small practice area and showed her how to hold the ukulele properly. He guided her through the basic chords, and she quickly caught on. Her passion for music was evident in every note she played. As they played together, he realized that his small act of kindness had not only sold a ukulele but also sparked a lifelong love for music in this young girl. 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 $听力考试正式开始。Did you have lunch?
