Songbirds are famous for their special songs, which they use to attract mates and protect their homes. But how do birds learn these songs? And what motivates (激励) them? ②When talking about learning, it is important to know the difference between extrinsic (外在的) and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation comes from outside, such as reward or praise. Intrinsic motivation comes from inside—the joy of learning something new. Although both types can help us learn, intrinsic motivation often leads to deeper and longer-lasting learning. Dopamine (多巴胺), a brain chemical, plays an important role in sending signals related to learning, reward, and motivation. ③In order to understand how intrinsic motivation works, a research team from Duke University in the US studied the dopamine flow in zebra finches’ brains without any extrinsic rewards. Their findings, published in Nature, give us ideas about how both birds and humans learn. ④During the study, young zebra finches, who had already memorized their father’s song, were placed alone in soundproof rooms. They practiced every day for a month, singing up to 10,000 times a day. Their random chirps (随意的啁啾) slowly turned into nice melodies. While the birds practiced, researchers measured dopamine levels in their basal ganglia—a brain area which is important for learning skills. They found that every time a bird tried to sing, dopamine was released (释放). It didn’t matter if the singing was beautiful or not—the birds felt a sense of satisfaction simply from the act of practicing. ⑤The birds’ efforts to learn their songs without intrinsic motivation show how intrinsic motivation operates, leading to successful learning. Beyond dopamine, the researchers also discovered acetylcholine (乙酰胆碱) as another important chemical messenger in the process. ⑥“These findings are also true for other animals, including humans.” Professor John Pearson said, “The brain regions and chemicals—like the basal ganglia, dopamine, and acetylcholine—are also found in mice, monkeys, and humans.” By studying how birds learn to sing, we can have a better understanding of ourselves. It may also help research into brain diseases like Parkinson’s, and skills like playing music or sports. 42．Why did researchers study the zebra finches’ dopamine flow? A．To discover how birds practice songs. B．To understand what intrinsic learning is. C．To know how intrinsic motivation operates. D．To find out which brain area dopamine is from. 43．According to Paragraphs 4&5, what did the researchers find about the birds’ learning process? ①The release of dopamine was connected to successful performance. ②A quiet environment was necessary for the birds to learn effectively. ③The chemical acetylcholine was also involved in the process. ④The effort of practicing itself was key to activating the brain’s reward system. A．①② B．①④ C．②③ D．③④ 44．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Talent holds great importance in mastering a new skill. B．A quiet environment lowers stress and improves new skills. C．Extrinsic motivation has a sharp influence on learning a skill. D．The study of how birds learn teaches us about learning new skills. 45．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】42．C 43．D 44．D 45．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕鸟类练唱动机展开，通过斑胸草雀研究揭示其运作机制，说明该研究对于人类理解自身以及相关研究的价值。 42．细节理解题。根据第三段首句“In order to understand how intrinsic motivation works, a research team...studied the dopamine flow in zebra finches’ brains...”可知，研究斑胸草雀的原因是为了理解内在动机如何运作。故选C。 43．细节理解题。第四段中的最后一句“It didn’t matter if the singing was beautiful or not—the birds felt a sense of satisfaction simply from the act of practicing.”对应选项中的④“练习本身会激活大脑奖励系统”；第五段中的最后一句“Beyond dopamine, the researchers also discovered acetylcholine as another important chemical messenger in the process.”对应选项中的③“化学物质乙酰胆碱也参与了这个过程。”。故选D。 44．推理判断题。根据“By studying how birds learn to sing, we can have a better understanding of ourselves.”以及“It may also help research into brain diseases…”可知，通过研究鸟类学习唱歌，我们可以更好地了解我们自己以及人类的大脑疾病。这表明对鸟类学习方式的研究能够启发我们对人类学习新技能的认知。故选D。 45．篇章结构题。 根据第一段的最后一句“But how do birds learn these songs? And what motivates them?”可知，是引出动机是什么的话题，自成一段；根据第二段的“extrinsic and intrinsic motivation”可知，介绍了内在和外在两种动机，自成一段；根据第三段“In order to understand how intrinsic motivation works, a research team”可知，是研究目的，是对研究的整体说明，第四段、第五段讲了研究的过程以及具体发现，所以第三段包含第四、五段；最后一段说明研究的价值，自成一段。故选A。 CLASSICAL ERA The term “classical” is often used to tell the difference between serious music and popular music. The symphony (交响乐) developed in this period. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were two most famous composers (作曲家). Mozart was a talented composer and performed all over Europe at six. He wrote the famous opera The Magic Flute. The German composer Beethoven was completely deaf for the last 10 years of his life but continued to compose some of the greatest music in the world. Symphony No. 5 is one of them. His late works moved toward the Romantic movement. ROMANTIC MOVEMENT From about 1820, composers started using new harmonies (和声) and forms to create music full of different emotions (情绪). Composers cared more about creating dramas, painting pictures in sound, or telling stories. The Russian composer Tchaikovsky was unhappy in his personal life, which brought great emotional depth to his music. He wrote many well-known works, including the famous 1812 Overture. MODERN MUSIC In the 20th century, there were great changes in serious music. The music composed by Stravinsky was difficult for people to understand. Stravinsky’s The Firebird caused a sensation at its first performance in Paris in 1910. It was a big success. The music was so different and powerful that it made the young composer famous across Europe. The German Stockhausen challenged listeners’ ideas about music. In Zyklus, for example, he let the drummer start playing from any page of the music, and then play it in their own order. COMPUTER COMPOSITION Computers can help composers write music. The composer can use an electronic instrument (电子乐器) to enter the melodies into the computer, where they can be stored, changed, and printed out. 46．According to the passage, what information can be put on the timeline? A．The Firebird; Mozart B．Symphony No. 9; Stravinsky C．The Magic Flute; Chopin D．Symphony No. 5; Stockhausen 47．What do you know about Tchaikovsky and his music? A．His music is always happy and joyful. B．He composed worse when he was sad. C．His personal feelings influenced his music. D．He only composed music about his own life. 48．What may “caused a sensation” mean according to the text? A．It was forgotten at once. B．It was a piece of modern music. C．Everyone found it easy to understand. D．It created great excitement and surprise. 49．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Great Composers B．Composers’ Role in Music C．A Brief History of Musical Styles D．How Composers Create Music 【答案】46．D 47．C 48．D 49．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要按时间顺序介绍了古典时期、浪漫主义时期、现代音乐时期及电脑作曲阶段的音乐风格、代表作曲家和作品。 46．细节理解题。根据“The German composer Beethoven was completely deaf for the last 10 years of his life but continued to compose some of the greatest music in the world. Symphony No. 5 is one of them.”可知，《第五交响曲》是贝多芬的作品；根据“The German Stockhausen challenged listeners’ ideas about music. In Zyklus, for example,”可知，《Zyklus》是Stockhausen的作品。故选D。 47．细节理解题。根据“The Russian composer Tchaikovsky was unhappy in his personal life, which brought great emotional depth to his music.”可知，俄罗斯作曲家柴可夫斯基个人生活并不幸福，这为他的音乐增添了深厚的情感，即他的个人情绪影响了音乐创作。故选C。 48．词句猜测题。根据“It was a big success. The music was so different and powerful that it made the young composer famous across Europe.”可知，它大获成功。这首音乐如此独特且有感染力，以至于让这位年轻的作曲家闻名全欧洲，故可推测出“caused a sensation”意为“引起极大的兴奋和惊喜”。故选D。 49．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章依次介绍了古典时期、浪漫主义时期、现代音乐时期及电脑作曲的音乐风格，核心是“音乐风格的简要历史”。故选C。 五、六选五 信息还原 It’s often said that children are the apple of their parents’ eyes. As a son or daughter, you may also want to make your parents proud. Here are certain things you can do.

Which pieces of artifacts (文物) stood out to you? Did you read the introduction next to them? Did it tell you where the artifacts were from and how the museums got them? Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule. You may see ancient Chinese paintings shown in the British Museum, or sculptures from Africa that date back to the 19th century on display in the Louvre Museum. Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts. The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years. Those who suggest returning all foreign artifacts to their homes insist that it is morally (道义上) the right thing to do. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive an important part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly valued in their homeland. Yet there are different voices. Those against the return point out that some foreign artifacts were not stolen but bought a long time ago. Also, it is sometimes hard to identify (确认) the true owners of certain artifacts—should they be returned to the country, a group or an individual? There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors (大使)” that improve understanding. They believe that while taking them away from their countries of origin was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. On the matter of return, some governments have made the move. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron told officially that France would give back 26 looted treasures to the African state of Benin. “I cannot accept that a large part of cultural heritage from several African countries is in France,” said Macron. It’s said to be part of France’s long-promised plans to return artifacts taken from Africa during the colonial rule. Museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures. 74．The underlined word “repatriate” in paragraph 2 probably means______. A．protect B．show C．return D．borrow 75．People who consider foreign artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that ______. A．mistakes in history need correcting in time B．heritage artifacts belong to all the human beings C．artifacts will be better protected in their homeland D．history museum tours will be popular in the future 76．What can we learn from the passage? A．French museums refused to identify all the colonial treasures. B．Policies and bills have no use in protecting foreign heritage treasures. C．The treasures stolen or looted can hardly be back to their homeland soon. D．Governments have the duty to keep foreign treasures in good protection. 77．By writing this passage, the writer wants to ______. A．explain how and why many foreign treasures were stolen or looted B．advise governments to take actions in returning foreign treasures C．encourage us to take part in the debate over stolen or looted treasures D．show different views and present situation on the return of treasures 【答案】74．C 75．B 76．C 77．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕许多博物馆中收藏的文物是否应归还给原籍国展开讨论，介绍了不同观点及当前文物归还的现状。 74．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule.”以及“Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts.”可知，许多国家要求欧洲博物馆归还从原籍国偷走或掠夺的文物，所以“repatriate”意思是“归还”，与“return”意思相近。故选C。 75．推理判断题。根据第四段“There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact ‘cultural ambassadors (大使)’ that improve understanding.”可知，认为外国文物是“文化大使”的人认为文化是共享的财富，文物属于全人类。故选B。 76．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures.”可知，法国虽然通过了归还文物的法案，但没有确定具体日期，说明被盗或掠夺的珍宝很难很快回到祖国。故选C。 77．主旨大意题。根据第三段“The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了关于文物归还的不同观点和当前文物归还的现状。故选D。 Libraries help us learn, and gyms keep us strong. But did you know buildings can also change how we feel every day? Good architecture (建筑设计) shapes not just our mood, but who we grow to be. For example, rooms with lower ceilings help us focus (集中)—great for studying or doing homework. Rooms with higher ceilings make us more creative, like when we draw pictures or write stories. Adding nature to buildings, such as plants by windows or small gardens on roofs, is good for both our body and mind. A study from Germany’s Heidelberg University found that kids who grow up in the countryside, close to trees and fields, have fewer mental health problems than those in busy cities. Take Vancouver (温哥华), Canada: this city is surrounded by mountains and the ocean. It plans buildings carefully so tall ones don’t block views of the sea or hills. People there can always see green trees and blue water from their windows, which makes them feel happy and calm. Boring buildings, however, can make us feel sad. The Guardian tells about a study in New York: people walked faster past gray, glass buildings near a big supermarket. Their faces looked tired, and they didn’t smile. But when they reached lively streets with colorful shops and small parks, their mood got better—they walked more slowly and even talked to strangers. To make buildings friendlier, designers should avoid too many straight lines and flat walls. These make cities look like big, dull boxes and stop sunlight from making pretty shadows, like the patterns leaves make on the ground. Instead, architects can use colors to create different feelings. Bright colors like yellow and orange make us feel energetic, like a sunny day at the park. Calm colors like blue and green help us relax, like sitting by a quiet lake, says Forbes magazine. Influences on Daily Life ·Hospitals: Patients in dark rooms use more medicine and feel more stressed. But those in bright rooms with big windows get better faster—sometimes even 20% quicker! ·Schools: Small, crowded classrooms with no plants can slow kids’ brain development by 25%. Big, bright rooms with trees outside help students learn better and remember more. ·Homes: Living near busy roads with tall, gray buildings may make family arguments(争论)at night go up by 9%. Neighborhoods with small parks or gardens have happier families. So, next time you walk outside, look around. Notice the buildings that make you smile—the ones with colors, plants, or windows looking at trees. A little bit of nature and a lot of heart in architecture are the best gifts for our minds and bodies! 78．Which of the following can help us focus according to the passage? A．Rooms with higher ceilings. B．Rooms with lower ceilings. C．Colorful shops and small parks. D．Straight lines and flat walls. 79．What do we know about Vancouver from the passage? A．It has many gray glass buildings. B．It is full of busy streets and supermarkets. C．It designs buildings to let people see nature easily. D．It has more mental health problems than the countryside. 80．Which of the following best describes the passage’s structure(结构)? A．Question→Answer→Reasons→Warnings→Details→Conclusion B．Study→Results→Experiences→Examples→Influences→Conclusion C．Topic→Examples→Problems→Methods→Influences→Conclusion D．Story→Problems→Study→Differences→Suggestions→Conclusion 81．What is the main idea of the passage? A．To talk about the countryside and the city life. B．To tell stories about different buildings in cities. C．To advise people to work as architects in future. D．To explain how buildings influence our feelings. 【答案】78．B 79．C 80．C 81．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，阐述了建筑设计对人们情绪、身心健康及生活的影响，介绍了优质建筑设计的特点、不良建筑的弊端，还通过医院、学校、住宅等场景举例说明，最后呼吁关注富含自然元素和人文关怀的建筑。 78．细节理解题。根据“rooms with lower ceilings help us focus—great for studying or doing homework”可知，天花板较低的房间能帮助我们集中注意力。故选B。 79．细节理解题。根据“Vancouver…It plans buildings carefully so tall ones don’t block views of the sea or hills. People there can always see green trees and blue water from their windows”可知，温哥华在建筑设计上注重让人们容易看到自然景色。故选C。 80．篇章结构题。文章结构为：①提出核心话题（建筑设计影响情绪和成长）→②③举正反例（温哥华的优质设计、纽约单调建筑的影响）→④指出问题（单调建筑的弊端）并给出解决方法（设计建议）→⑤列举建筑对医院、学校、住宅的具体影响→⑥总结呼吁。符合“话题→例子→问题→方法→影响→结论”的结构。故选C。 81．主旨大意题。文章围绕建筑设计如何影响人们的情绪、身心健康、生活状态展开，核心是“建筑对人的感受的影响”。故选D。 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使对话完整。(每空一词) Throughout history, many cultures value the importance of hard work.

There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a great example. Today, although Chinese people usually shake hands when meeting friends and relatives, people still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are visiting someone during the Spring Festival or attending someone’s wedding or birthday party. The fist-and-palm salute has a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had already performed it when meeting friends. In ancient times, if people met a stranger, they would often prepare for a fight if necessary, and their hands were always ready for holding any weapon (武器). Holding hands together pointed towards themselves was a way of saying “relax”, meaning “I’m not with any weapons and I’m not here to fight.” Later, it became a polite way to greet or show thanks. So, how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? Firstly, stand up straight. If you’re a man, make a half fist (拳头) with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest look at the person, raise both hands to your eyebrows, bow slightly, and move your hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top. People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute, called Baoquan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture (姿势) is formed by holding the right fist very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and spreading out both arms slightly forward in front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb (大拇指) is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows arrogance (傲慢). 92．What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Need. B．Manners. C．Time. D．Groups. 93．Which picture shows the correct way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute? A． B． C． D． 94．If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, what should he do? A．He should keep his right hand open. B．He should put his right hand on his left hand. C．He shouldn’t point his left thumb at himself. D．He shouldn’t spread out his arms. 95．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The difference between the fist-and-palm salute in the Spring Festival and other occasions. B．The reason why the fist-and-palm salute is more popular than shaking hands. C．The steps of the fist-and-palm salute used by kung fu masters and students. D．The origin, proper ways of use of the fist-and-palm salute. 【答案】92．B 93．A 94．C 95．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国拱手礼的历史起源、意义以及正确的行礼方式，还简单介绍了抱拳礼的相关内容。 92．词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a great example.”可知，在中国古代有很多问候的礼仪，拱手礼就是一个很好的例子。由此可推测“etiquette”意为“礼仪，礼节”，与“manners”意思相近。故选B。 93．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top.”可知，如果是女性行拱手礼，应该是右手在上。由于没有图片，但根据文字描述可判断正确图片应是右手在上，左手在下，符合这一描述的选项为A。故选A。 94．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Make sure the left thumb (大拇指) is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows arrogance (傲慢).”可知，如果Mike想做抱拳礼，他不应该把左手大拇指指向自己。故选C。 95．主旨大意题。文章第二段介绍了拱手礼的历史起源，第三段介绍了拱手礼的正确行礼方式，第四段简单介绍了抱拳礼并提及了行礼注意事项，整体围绕拱手礼的起源和正确使用方式展开。选项D“拱手礼的起源、正确使用方式”符合文章主旨。故选D。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 9A U8下练习 一、单项选择 1．If you grow up in _____ large family, you are more likely to develop _______ ability to get on well with _______ others.

In it, they found a little baby girl. “We have no 27 ,” said the woman, “so let us take this child in and raise her as our own!” Her husband 28 agreed. Because she was sweet and had golden hair, they named her Honey. The family also had a lovely cat. They called her Little Double, 29 she was twice as kind and loving as any other cat in the world! One by one, she 30 her own kittens (小猫) into the baby’s cradle to keep her warm, and little Honey was 31 to the sound of their purring (呼噜声).

Songbirds are famous for their special songs, which they use to attract mates and protect their homes. But how do birds learn these songs? And what motivates (激励) them? ②When talking about learning, it is important to know the difference between extrinsic (外在的) and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation comes from outside, such as reward or praise. Intrinsic motivation comes from inside—the joy of learning something new. Although both types can help us learn, intrinsic motivation often leads to deeper and longer-lasting learning. Dopamine (多巴胺), a brain chemical, plays an important role in sending signals related to learning, reward, and motivation. ③In order to understand how intrinsic motivation works, a research team from Duke University in the US studied the dopamine flow in zebra finches’ brains without any extrinsic rewards. Their findings, published in Nature, give us ideas about how both birds and humans learn. ④During the study, young zebra finches, who had already memorized their father’s song, were placed alone in soundproof rooms. They practiced every day for a month, singing up to 10,000 times a day. Their random chirps (随意的啁啾) slowly turned into nice melodies. While the birds practiced, researchers measured dopamine levels in their basal ganglia—a brain area which is important for learning skills. They found that every time a bird tried to sing, dopamine was released (释放). It didn’t matter if the singing was beautiful or not—the birds felt a sense of satisfaction simply from the act of practicing. ⑤The birds’ efforts to learn their songs without intrinsic motivation show how intrinsic motivation operates, leading to successful learning. Beyond dopamine, the researchers also discovered acetylcholine (乙酰胆碱) as another important chemical messenger in the process. ⑥“These findings are also true for other animals, including humans.” Professor John Pearson said, “The brain regions and chemicals—like the basal ganglia, dopamine, and acetylcholine—are also found in mice, monkeys, and humans.” By studying how birds learn to sing, we can have a better understanding of ourselves. It may also help research into brain diseases like Parkinson’s, and skills like playing music or sports. 42．Why did researchers study the zebra finches’ dopamine flow? A．To discover how birds practice songs. B．To understand what intrinsic learning is. C．To know how intrinsic motivation operates. D．To find out which brain area dopamine is from. 43．According to Paragraphs 4&5, what did the researchers find about the birds’ learning process? ①The release of dopamine was connected to successful performance. ②A quiet environment was necessary for the birds to learn effectively. ③The chemical acetylcholine was also involved in the process. ④The effort of practicing itself was key to activating the brain’s reward system. A．①② B．①④ C．②③ D．③④ 44．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Talent holds great importance in mastering a new skill. B．A quiet environment lowers stress and improves new skills. C．Extrinsic motivation has a sharp influence on learning a skill. D．The study of how birds learn teaches us about learning new skills. 45．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． B CLASSICAL ERA The term “classical” is often used to tell the difference between serious music and popular music. The symphony (交响乐) developed in this period. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were two most famous composers (作曲家). Mozart was a talented composer and performed all over Europe at six. He wrote the famous opera The Magic Flute. The German composer Beethoven was completely deaf for the last 10 years of his life but continued to compose some of the greatest music in the world. Symphony No. 5 is one of them. His late works moved toward the Romantic movement. ROMANTIC MOVEMENT From about 1820, composers started using new harmonies (和声) and forms to create music full of different emotions (情绪). Composers cared more about creating dramas, painting pictures in sound, or telling stories. The Russian composer Tchaikovsky was unhappy in his personal life, which brought great emotional depth to his music. He wrote many well-known works, including the famous 1812 Overture. MODERN MUSIC In the 20th century, there were great changes in serious music. The music composed by Stravinsky was difficult for people to understand. Stravinsky’s The Firebird caused a sensation at its first performance in Paris in 1910. It was a big success. The music was so different and powerful that it made the young composer famous across Europe. The German Stockhausen challenged listeners’ ideas about music. In Zyklus, for example, he let the drummer start playing from any page of the music, and then play it in their own order. COMPUTER COMPOSITION Computers can help composers write music. The composer can use an electronic instrument (电子乐器) to enter the melodies into the computer, where they can be stored, changed, and printed out. 46．According to the passage, what information can be put on the timeline? A．The Firebird; Mozart B．Symphony No. 9; Stravinsky C．The Magic Flute; Chopin D．Symphony No. 5; Stockhausen 47．What do you know about Tchaikovsky and his music? A．His music is always happy and joyful. B．He composed worse when he was sad. C．His personal feelings influenced his music. D．He only composed music about his own life. 48．What may “caused a sensation” mean according to the text? A．It was forgotten at once. B．It was a piece of modern music. C．Everyone found it easy to understand. D．It created great excitement and surprise. 49．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Great Composers B．Composers’ Role in Music C．A Brief History of Musical Styles D．How Composers Create Music 五、六选五 It’s often said that children are the apple of their parents’ eyes.

In China, writing brushes, ink sticks, paper and ink stones are called the Four Treasures of Study. A 55 them, the writing brush produced in Huzhou, the ink stick produced in Huizhou, the xuan paper made in Xuancheng and the ink stone made in Duanxi are the best. The writing brushes can be used to draw the pictures on painted potteries (陶器). They are m 56 made of animals’ hair. Those made of wool are called yanghao and those made of the weasel’s tail hair are called langhao. Their artistic effects in writing and painting cannot be c 57 by any other pen. The ink stick is the color used in writing and painting. The ink stick produced in Huizhou is of high quality. A s 58 goes like this: Two famous skilled men Xi Chao and his son produced a kind of high-quality-ink stick. As a result, the Emperor Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty a 59 to give them the family name “Li”. From then on, the fame of the Li Ink Stick was widely s 60 . In the Song Dynasty, its producing area was changed into Huizhou, and it was then called the Hui Ink S 61 . Paper is among the four great i 62 in ancient China. The famous xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In Xuancheng, Anhui Province where the xuan paper is produced, it’s said that Cai Lun’s pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing paper but failed to make perfect white paper. Later he happened to see the ivory (檀木) in the rivers. It was wet with water and turned w 63 . Then he used the tree skins to produce the world-famous xuan paper. The ink stone was a 64 very popular in the Han Dynasty. The Ming and Qing dynasties saw the appearance of the Four Famous Ink stones—Duan Ink Stone, She Ink Stone, Tao Ink Stone and Chengni Ink Stone. They can not only be used in writing and painting but also for admiration. 七、课后作业 65．The Greens have decided to go_____ in China to spend the Holiday.

Did you read the introduction next to them? Did it tell you where the artifacts were from and how the museums got them? Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted (掠夺) from their original countries during war or colonial rule. You may see ancient Chinese paintings shown in the British Museum, or sculptures from Africa that date back to the 19th century on display in the Louvre Museum. Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts. The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years. Those who suggest returning all foreign artifacts to their homes insist that it is morally (道义上) the right thing to do. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive an important part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly valued in their homeland. Yet there are different voices. Those against the return point out that some foreign artifacts were not stolen but bought a long time ago. Also, it is sometimes hard to identify (确认) the true owners of certain artifacts—should they be returned to the country, a group or an individual? There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors (大使)” that improve understanding. They believe that while taking them away from their countries of origin was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. On the matter of return, some governments have made the move. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron told officially that France would give back 26 looted treasures to the African state of Benin. “I cannot accept that a large part of cultural heritage from several African countries is in France,” said Macron. It’s said to be part of France’s long-promised plans to return artifacts taken from Africa during the colonial rule. Museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France’s National Assembly officially passed a bill (法案) promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn’t fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures. 74．The underlined word “repatriate” in paragraph 2 probably means______. A．protect B．show C．return D．borrow 75．People who consider foreign artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that ______. A．mistakes in history need correcting in time B．heritage artifacts belong to all the human beings C．artifacts will be better protected in their homeland D．history museum tours will be popular in the future 76．What can we learn from the passage? A．French museums refused to identify all the colonial treasures. B．Policies and bills have no use in protecting foreign heritage treasures. C．The treasures stolen or looted can hardly be back to their homeland soon. D．Governments have the duty to keep foreign treasures in good protection. 77．By writing this passage, the writer wants to ______. A．explain how and why many foreign treasures were stolen or looted B．advise governments to take actions in returning foreign treasures C．encourage us to take part in the debate over stolen or looted treasures D．show different views and present situation on the return of treasures B Libraries help us learn, and gyms keep us strong. But did you know buildings can also change how we feel every day? Good architecture (建筑设计) shapes not just our mood, but who we grow to be. For example, rooms with lower ceilings help us focus (集中)—great for studying or doing homework. Rooms with higher ceilings make us more creative, like when we draw pictures or write stories. Adding nature to buildings, such as plants by windows or small gardens on roofs, is good for both our body and mind. A study from Germany’s Heidelberg University found that kids who grow up in the countryside, close to trees and fields, have fewer mental health problems than those in busy cities. Take Vancouver (温哥华), Canada: this city is surrounded by mountains and the ocean. It plans buildings carefully so tall ones don’t block views of the sea or hills. People there can always see green trees and blue water from their windows, which makes them feel happy and calm. Boring buildings, however, can make us feel sad. The Guardian tells about a study in New York: people walked faster past gray, glass buildings near a big supermarket. Their faces looked tired, and they didn’t smile. But when they reached lively streets with colorful shops and small parks, their mood got better—they walked more slowly and even talked to strangers. To make buildings friendlier, designers should avoid too many straight lines and flat walls. These make cities look like big, dull boxes and stop sunlight from making pretty shadows, like the patterns leaves make on the ground. Instead, architects can use colors to create different feelings. Bright colors like yellow and orange make us feel energetic, like a sunny day at the park. Calm colors like blue and green help us relax, like sitting by a quiet lake, says Forbes magazine. Influences on Daily Life ·Hospitals: Patients in dark rooms use more medicine and feel more stressed. But those in bright rooms with big windows get better faster—sometimes even 20% quicker! ·Schools: Small, crowded classrooms with no plants can slow kids’ brain development by 25%. Big, bright rooms with trees outside help students learn better and remember more. ·Homes: Living near busy roads with tall, gray buildings may make family arguments(争论)at night go up by 9%. Neighborhoods with small parks or gardens have happier families. So, next time you walk outside, look around. Notice the buildings that make you smile—the ones with colors, plants, or windows looking at trees. A little bit of nature and a lot of heart in architecture are the best gifts for our minds and bodies! 78．Which of the following can help us focus according to the passage? A．Rooms with higher ceilings. B．Rooms with lower ceilings. C．Colorful shops and small parks. D．Straight lines and flat walls. 79．What do we know about Vancouver from the passage? A．It has many gray glass buildings. B．It is full of busy streets and supermarkets. C．It designs buildings to let people see nature easily. D．It has more mental health problems than the countryside. 80．Which of the following best describes the passage’s structure(结构)? A．Question→Answer→Reasons→Warnings→Details→Conclusion B．Study→Results→Experiences→Examples→Influences→Conclusion C．Topic→Examples→Problems→Methods→Influences→Conclusion D．Story→Problems→Study→Differences→Suggestions→Conclusion 81．What is the main idea of the passage? A．To talk about the countryside and the city life. B．To tell stories about different buildings in cities. C．To advise people to work as architects in future. D．To explain how buildings influence our feelings. C 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使对话完整。(每空一词) Throughout history, many cultures value the importance of hard work. It’s true that hard workers are always fighting a 82 the attraction (吸引力) of sleep. The allusion (典故) xuan liang ci gu, which means tying one’s hair to the house beam (房梁) and stabbing one’s thigh (大腿) with a sharp tool, tells two stories about the hard experiences of staying a 83 . In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a famous politician named Sun Jing, who really enjoyed studying, even in the evening. To stop h 84 falling asleep when reading at night, Sun came up with a special way. He tied his hair to the beam while reading. And that method w 85 . If he felt sleepy, his hair would be pulled upward by the rope and the p 86 would wake him up. Before you are amazed by w 87 Sun Jing did, the story of Su Qin, another famous man who lived in the Warring States Period, was even more shocking. According to Strategies (策略) of the Warring States, when Su was young, he f 88 so many times to get a governmental position that he even let his family down. So he decided to work harder. When he felt sleepy at night, he used a sharp tool to stab at his thigh in order to focus on reading again. No d 89 Su’s hard work paid off. Finally, he realized his dream s 90 . Later, people joined Su’s story with Sun’s and c 91 the allusion xuan liang ci gu. At present, although we are not supposed to follow their actions, their amazing spirits are still meaningful and encouraging. D For centuries, China has been known as “a state of ceremonies”, which means Liyi Zhibang. There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a great example. Today, although Chinese people usually shake hands when meeting friends and relatives, people still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are visiting someone during the Spring Festival or attending someone’s wedding or birthday party. The fist-and-palm salute has a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had already performed it when meeting friends. In ancient times, if people met a stranger, they would often prepare for a fight if necessary, and their hands were always ready for holding any weapon (武器). Holding hands together pointed towards themselves was a way of saying “relax”, meaning “I’m not with any weapons and I’m not here to fight.” Later, it became a polite way to greet or show thanks. So, how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? Firstly, stand up straight. If you’re a man, make a half fist (拳头) with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest look at the person, raise both hands to your eyebrows, bow slightly, and move your hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top. People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute, called Baoquan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture (姿势) is formed by holding the right fist very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and spreading out both arms slightly forward in front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb (大拇指) is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows arrogance (傲慢). 92．What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Need. B．Manners. C．Time. D．Groups. 93．Which picture shows the correct way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute? A． B． C． D． 94．If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, what should he do? A．He should keep his right hand open. B．He should put his right hand on his left hand. C．He shouldn’t point his left thumb at himself. D．He shouldn’t spread out his arms. 95．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The difference between the fist-and-palm salute in the Spring Festival and other occasions. B．The reason why the fist-and-palm salute is more popular than shaking hands. C．The steps of the fist-and-palm salute used by kung fu masters and students. D．The origin, proper ways of use of the fist-and-palm salute. 2 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
