训练12　培优提能练(四)　[分值：32.5分] Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，共20分) A Why would anyone want to write a poem? One reason to write a poem is to dig from yourself some thought，feeling，comprehension or question that you didn’t know was in you，or in the world.Other forms of writing，such as scientific papers，political analysis and journalism，attempt to record something known.Poetry is a release of something previously unknown. Poetry opens our eyes and offers increase of reach.We live so often on a lonely island，separated from ourselves and others due to social or personal reasons.To step into a poem is to agree to risk.Writing takes down all protections to see what steps forward.Poetry is a trick of language，in which the writer is both magician and audience.You reach your hand into the hat and surprise yourself with a rabbit or memory，with unusual verbs or rhymes.Poems lead to revolutions of being.Whatever the old order was，a poem will change it. What we want from art is whatever is missing from the lives we are living and making.Something is always missing，and so art-making is endless. There is also the matter of connection.You can’t write an image，a metaphor(暗喻)，a story，a phrase without approaching the shared world，without recognizing that your supposed solitude(独处) is at every point touching some others.You can’t read a good poem without recognizing your own face in the poet’s experience.It allows us to feel more strongly and accurately what is already present.Then it expands that and expands us. Does art change anything by its existence or non-existence? I’d argue that art，if it is genuinely art，is a force for the good.That the rearrangement of words can reopen the potential of both inner and outer worlds—I cannot say why I feel this to be true，except that I feel it so when I read good poems. 语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了有人想要写诗的原因。 1．How does the writer introduce the topic? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By quoting a saying. D．By making a comparison. 答案　D 解析　写作手法题。通读全文可知，第一段中的“One reason to write a poem is to dig from yourself...”引出了主题，接下来“Other forms of writing...attempt to record something known.Poetry is a release of something previously unknown.”通过将其他写作形式和诗歌进行比较，对前文写诗的原因进行具体阐述，由此可推测出，作者通过比较来引入主题。故选D。 2．What is the similarity between poetry and magic? A．They bring surprises. B．They follow traditions. C．They change the world. D．They are arts of language. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Poetry is a trick of language...surprise yourself with a rabbit or memory，with unusual verbs or rhymes.”可知，诗和魔术很像，魔术师把手伸进帽子里变出兔子，而诗人用记忆、不同寻常的动词或押韵创造出新的东西，二者都可以带来惊喜。故选A。 3．What can a good poem do according to the text? A．Criticize social reality. B．Apply new expressions. C．Bridge poets and readers. D．Remind readers of the past. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“There is also the matter of connection.”和“You can’t read a good poem without recognizing your own face in the poet’s experience.”可知，诗会创造出联系，读好诗的时候你会体验到作者的经历，由此可推测出，一首好诗会将诗人和读者联系起来。故选C。 4．What is the author’s attitude towards art? A．Objective. B．Favorable. C．Unclear. D．Doubtful. 答案　B 解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Does art change anything by its existence or non-existence? I’d argue that art，if it is genuinely art，is a force for the good.”可知，在谈到艺术的作用时，作者认为真正的艺术是一种向善的力量，由此可推测出，作者对艺术持肯定态度。故选B。 B People often call music a universal language，but do certain songs really cause the same mental images in our minds? Scientists at Princeton find that while music absolutely can stimulate(激发)similar mental experiences，the results also strongly suggest culture is a major factor. A total of 622 people took part in the study.All of the volunteers came from one of three locations：two suburban college towns in the US(one in Arkansas and the other in Michigan)，or the rural Chinese village of Dimen.It’s worth noting that the main language in Dimen is Dong，a tonal language unrelated to the official language of China.Locals there have little contact with Western media or culture at all.All participants listened to the exact same 32 “musical stimuli”—which were 60-second cuts of instrumental music.Half of these pieces came from Western music while the rest came from Chinese music. After hearing，researchers asked the groups about the images they saw in their heads while listening.Incredibly，people from Arkansas and Michigan often described very similar stories，even using the exact same words frequently.Dimen listeners，on the other hand，envisioned stories that were similar to each other but quite different from the American listeners.More specifically，one track led to Americans seeing a cowboy in the hot desert surveying an empty town.Meanwhile，Chinese participants imagined a man in ancient times reflecting on the loss of a loved one. “There’s something about the results that’s really surprising，especially because people encounter music in 2022 often in a solitary way，over headphones.But it turns out，it’s still a shared experience，almost like a shared dream，although not universally shared，”says Elizabeth Margulis，the study author. The results paint a more complex picture of music’s power.Music can generate remarkably similar stories in listeners’ minds，but it depends on a common set of cultural experiences.So while that we imagine music can bring people together，the opposite can also be true—it can distinguish between sets of people with a different background or culture. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了普林斯顿大学的科学家们发现，虽然音乐可以激发相似的心理体验，但不同的文化仍会引起人们感知的差异。 5．What is the probable reason for Dimen being selected for the study? A．Its unique cultural background. B．Its close contact with the US. C．Its complex language system. D．Its long tradition of music. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段第三、四句可推知，地扪村被选中参加这项研究的可能原因是它具有独特的文化背景，故选A。 6．What were the participants required to do after listening to music? A．Exchange their comments on the scene. B．Imagine musicians’ original inspiration. C．Describe the picture forming in mind. D．Recall personal music-related stories. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段首句可知，在听完音乐后，参与者被要求描述脑海中形成的画面。故选C。 7．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 4? A．Strange. B．Individual. C．Outdated. D．Polite. 答案　B 解析　词义猜测题。由画线单词下文“over headphones”和“people encounter music in 2022 often in a solitary way”可知，人们经常通过使用头戴式耳机来接触音乐，这是一种单独接触音乐的方式。由此可知，画线单词意为“单独的”。故选B。 8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Unbelievable? Music’s Effects Go Beyond Cultures B．Problem Solved! How Music Brings Us All Together C．Amazing! Cultures Determine Our Preference for Music D．Universal Language? Culture Matters When We Hear Music 答案　D 解析　标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了人们常说音乐是一种通用的语言，但是普林斯顿大学的科学家们发现，虽然音乐可以激发相似的心理体验，但文化是一个主要因素。由此可知，D项“通用语言？当我们听音乐时，文化很重要”适合作文章标题。故选D。 Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Food is part of who we are.We all need it，survive because of it and derive happiness from it.So if food matters so much，why do we let so much of it go rotten in our fridges，or get thrown out in our stores? Sadly，we love food，but we don’t take care of it. 1 Here are ways to help us love our food better and grow respect for the world behind what we eat. • Reduce your food waste. Buy only the food you need，store food wisely，donate excess and turn leftover food into the next day’s meals.When we waste food，all the resources used for growing，processing，transporting and marketing that food are wasted too. 2 • Support your local food producers. Chefs get awards，stars and recognition for their creations.But what about our farmers? 3 Shop at your local markets and get to know your farmers.Giving them your business is giving them your recognition and respect. • Adopt a healthier，more sustainable diet. 4 We get energy and maintain health from good food.We normally don’t care the power that food and nutrition have over our bodies.Too much of it，or too much of only one kind of it，can lead to obesity，deficiencies or diet-related diseases. • 5 By treating each meal with pride，we respect the farmers who produced it，and the resources that went into it.Respect can be passed on.Talk to the people around and to the next generation about making informed，healthy and sustainable food choices. Respecting food means appreciating the back-story of food.When we know the full picture，it is easier to see what our food really stands for and how precious it really is. A．Have a conversation. B．Learn where food comes from. C．Our bodies consume calories and nutrients. D．For many people on the planet，food is giving. E．Food is so much more than what is on our plates. F．One third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted. G．Without them，we wouldn’t have the fresh food we need on a daily basis. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了食物浪费的现象过于严重，并提出了可以帮助我们更好地爱惜食物，并培养对食物背后的世界的尊重的几个方法。 1．答案　F 解析　根据前文提到我们并不珍惜食物的例子和空前一句可推知，设空句应继续讲述食物浪费的情况。选项F“全球生产的粮食有三分之一被损失或浪费”承接上文，符合语境。故选F。 2．答案　E 解析　根据前文可知，浪费食物所带来的是一系列的浪费，这表明食物对我们来说意味着很多。选项E“食物远不止是我们盘子里的东西”总结前文，符合题意。故选E。 3．答案　G 解析　根据该部分主题句可知，该部分强调支持本地的“食品生产者”，且前文“But what about our farmers？”提及了农民，可推知设空句应解释农民的重要性。选项G“没有他们，我们就不会获得我们每天需要的新鲜食物”用双重否定句强调了农民的重要性，them就是指上文的farmers。故选G。 4．答案　C 解析　根据该部分主题句可知，该部分强调健康饮食。选项C“我们的身体消耗热量和营养”承接主题句，选项中的“calories”，“nutrients”与后文中“energy”和“nutrition”相呼应，衔接紧密。故选C。 5．答案　A 解析　设空句为段落主题句。根据后文“Talk to the people around and to the next generation about making informed，healthy and sustainable food choices.”可知，该段强调“与周围的人和下一代谈论明智、健康和可持续的饮食选择”，因此，设空句作为段落主题句，应突出核心词汇“谈论”。选项A“进行交谈”与后文“Talk to...”相呼应。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
