Last month, I had the chance to celebrate it in a small town in Guangxi. ②Early in the morning, people in traditional clothes got together in the town square. The festival began with a lively dance show. People held hands, forming circles and moving with the rhythm (节奏) of drums. Some even danced between bamboo sticks (棍子) — it looked difficult but fun! After that, groups of people sang folk songs. Their voices mixed beautifully, showing love and nature. ③Of course, food was everywhere! Families shared plates of colorful “five-coloured sticky rice (糯米饭)” made with natural dyes (染料) from plants. The five colors of sticky rice mean good luck and health. I tried a sweet rice cake wrapped in leaves — it tasted like a mix of sugar and flowers. ④By evening, lanterns made the streets bright. Kids laughed while playing games, and elders chatted happily. I learned this festival was not only about singing and eating, but also about keeping traditions alive. ⑤I left with a full stomach and a heart full of memories.

Did you hear music at any of those places? Today most stores and restaurants play music. You might even hear music in an office or on a farm. Scientists believe that music changes the way people behave. According to some scientists, the sound of Western classical music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people usually spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. Without background music, people spend even less. Scientists also believe that loud, fast music makes people cat faster.

This gets people to eat faster and leave more quickly. In this way, restaurants can make more money. Some scientists think that music makes students think and learn better. They say that music helps students to be more active. It is true that students learn better when they are relaxed and listening to music can help them relax.

Her songs are not just about sweet romance and heartbreaks, but usually have bigger and more empowering themes. Take the songs Firework (2010) and Roar (2013) for example, where Perry sings about being our own master and discovering our true value. But actually, these themes are not daring enough, at least not for Perry. Earlier this year, she announced her new album Witness, together with a new idea for pop music. Perry calls her new style “purposeful pop”, meaning pop with a social and political message. It seems that Perry has become tired of simply encouraging people. Now, she wants to educate them politically as well. Part of her inspiration came during the 2016 US presidential election between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton. Perry was a very public supporter of Clinton because Trump was a candidate with a record of disrespectful behavior toward women. The best example of Perry’s purposeful pop is probably the song Chained to the Rhythm, in which Perry criticizes people’s obsession with their own ideas and the fact they are unwilling to think more critically about the world. As the song’s lyrics say, “Aren’t you lonely? Up there in utopia. Where nothing will ever be enough. Happily numb. So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble. So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble.” Even though the election is long over and Trump won, Perry’s political message seems to be continuing. But when it comes to the concept of purposeful pop, it is, in fact, something a lot of pop stars have been doing for a while. Beyonce’s 2016 song Formation, for example, deals with various social problems such as the dispute between white policemen and black citizens in the US, hoping to create change through music. “Formation isn’t just about police brutality—it’s about the entirety of the black experience in America in 2016, which includes standards of beauty, disempowerment, culture and the shared parts of our history,” wrote Jenna Wortham in The New York Times. To singers like Perry and Beyonce, songs are not just entertainment, but part of a movement. It may have seemed strange when this concept was first introduced, but it’s on its way to becoming normal. “The truth is, not speaking up in 2017 means you’re part of the problem. It’s no longer OK to be quiet and complacent,” wrote Shannon Carlin on entertainment news website Bustle. 【回答问题】 1．In which songs did Perry sing to become our own master? 2．What did Perry call her new style? 3．Who did Perry support, Donald Trump or Hilary Clinton? 4．Which song of Beyonce reflects social problems? 5．What is Formation about? 【答案】1．Firework (2010) and Roar (2013). 2．She called her new style “purposeful pop”. 3．She supported Hilary Clinton. 4．Formation. 5．It is about police brutality and the black experience in America in 2016. 【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。文章介绍了艺术家凯蒂·佩里著名的音乐作品，并阐述了她的作品灵感来源于当时社会的政治因素；她的歌曲不仅仅是娱乐，更是运动的一部分。 1．根据“Take the songs Firework (2010) and Roar (2013) for example, where Perry sings about being our own master and discovering our true value.”可知，在《烟火》和《咆哮》这两首歌中佩里唱到成为自己的主人。故填Firework (2010) and Roar (2013). 2．根据“Perry calls her new style “purposeful pop”, meaning pop with a social and political message.”可知，佩里将她的新风格称为“有目的的流行音乐”。故填She called her new style “purposeful pop”. 3．根据“Perry was a very public supporter of Clinton because Trump was a candidate with a record of disrespectful behavior toward women.”可知，佩里支持的是希拉里•克林顿。故填She supported Hilary Clinton. 4．根据“Beyonce’s 2016 song Formation, for example, deals with various social problems ...”可知，碧昂丝的Formation这首歌反映了社会问题。故填Formation. 5．根据“Formation isn’t just about police brutality—it’s about the entirety of the black experience in America in 2016 ...”可知，Formation这首歌是关于警察暴力和2016年美国黑人的全部经历。故填It is about police brutality and the black experience in America in 2016. 根据短文回答问题。 Almost everyone shares the same daily routine（例行公事）: beginning the day by reading the newspaper, then going off to work and then returning home tired and ready for bed. Younger people in school or college may have a different routine from adults, but their lives are pretty similar. Most people, young or old, can’t find the time or energy to relax and enjoy the day. Luckily, music is here to help us forget our worries and feel peaceful. Besides being pleasant to the ear, music can help us relax. Music is also good because it can teach us something about different languages and cultures and all around the world. Everyone likes music and every country has a history of music to be proud of. From birth to death, we have music along with us. Music, like all forms of art, is another way to add peace to our lives. Modern studies show that relaxing music can do good to our bodies in some way as hard exercise does. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician, said that some kinds of music could change behavior patterns. Listening to the sounds of music can make us relax ourselves. Music can help people communicate and express their feelings. Every day people enjoy songs on the radio because the songs reflect（反映）their feelings inside. Lovers need love songs for each other. As much as music expresses feelings, it can also change feelings. A sad day can be made happy with the help of music. Sometimes when we feel angry we need angry music to make us feel better. Music can also help people remember something. School children are taught to sing songs about colors, animals and letters to help them memorize new words and concepts（概念）. Music can change people’s lives in unimaginable ways. 1．Do the young and the old have the same daily routine? . 2．What can music please, the ear or the heart? . 3．According to the passage, what can add peace to people’s lives? . 4．What can music do according to the sixth paragraph and the seventh paragraph? . 5．Why are children taught to sing songs? . 6．How does music change your life? Please explain with examples.   . 【答案】1．No, they don’t. 2．Both. 3．All forms of art. 4．Music can both express and change feelings. 5．Because singing songs helps children memorize new words and concepts. 6．Any reasonable answer is acceptable. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐在人们生活中的作用。 1．根据“Younger people in school or college may have a different routine from adults”可知，成年人和在校年轻人的日常生活是不一样的，老人也是成年人。故填No, they don’t. 2．根据“Besides being pleasant to the ear, music can help us relax.”可知，音乐除了悦耳，还能愉悦身心。故填Both. 3．根据“Music, like all forms of art, is another way to add peace to our lives.”可知，“所有的艺术形式”能给人们的生活增添宁静。故填All forms of art. 4．根据“As much as music expresses feelings, it can also change feelings.”可知，音乐能够帮助人们交流并表达感情，音乐还能改变人的感情。故填Music can both express and change feelings. 5．根据“School children are taught to sing songs about colors, animals and letters to help them memorize new words and concepts. （概念）”可知，教孩子们唱歌的原因是帮助他们记忆新单词和新概念。故填Because singing songs helps children memorize new words and concepts. 6．本题开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为“Music makes me relax myself and reduce my study stress. Whenever I am sad, I will listen to some music to cheer me up.” 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusics”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often can’t tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. That’s because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a bar or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Mary, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Mary, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex (复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Mary felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘______.’” says Mary. 1．What are amusic people? 2．Why is life hard for amusics? 3．What did Mary use to hate? 4．What causes amusics different from most people in the scientists’ opinion? 5．What may Mary say in the blank of the last paragraph? 【答案】1．They are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. 2．Because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. 3．Parties. 4．Their brains. 5．I’d love to, but I’m amusic. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“amusics（音盲）”，这类人天生无法欣赏音乐，科学家研究发现其大脑与能欣赏音乐的人不同，很多音盲在确诊后会感觉好一些。 1．根据“People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes.”可知，音盲天生就没有欣赏音符的能力。故填They are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. 2．根据“Life can be hard for amusics. That’s because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic.”可知，对于音盲来说，生活可能会很艰难。这是因为大多数人无法理解音盲的感受。故填Because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. 3．根据“I used to hate parties”可知，玛丽过去讨厌派对。故填Parties. 4．根据“Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music.”可知，科学家认为是大脑的差异导致音盲与大多数人不同。故填Their brains. 5．因为玛丽是音盲，无法欣赏音乐，所以当别人邀请她去音乐会时，她可能会说明自己的情况并拒绝，答案合理即可。参考答案为：I’d love to, but I’m amusic. 8 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 13 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 1 Music 单元话题（音乐）阅读回答问题进阶练10篇（中考新题型） 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练3篇 ①The Zhuang People’s Folk Song Festival is also known as Sanyuesan Festival. Last month, I had the chance to celebrate it in a small town in Guangxi. ②Early in the morning, people in traditional clothes got together in the town square. The festival began with a lively dance show. People held hands, forming circles and moving with the rhythm (节奏) of drums. Some even danced between bamboo sticks (棍子) — it looked difficult but fun! After that, groups of people sang folk songs. Their voices mixed beautifully, showing love and nature. ③Of course, food was everywhere! Families shared plates of colorful “five-coloured sticky rice (糯米饭)” made with natural dyes (染料) from plants. The five colors of sticky rice mean good luck and health. I tried a sweet rice cake wrapped in leaves — it tasted like a mix of sugar and flowers. ④By evening, lanterns made the streets bright. Kids laughed while playing games, and elders chatted happily. I learned this festival was not only about singing and eating, but also about keeping traditions alive. ⑤I left with a full stomach and a heart full of memories. The Zhuang Peoples Folk Song Festival taught me how Guangxi’s culture is as colourful as its rainbow-coloured rice! 根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。 1．When did the writer celebrate the Sanyuesan Festival? 2．Where did people in traditional clothes get together? 3．What did groups of people do after the dance show? 4．What do the five colors of sticky rice mean? 5．What was the festival about in the writer’s opinion?

But do you know about its writer? It was written by an American girl. And she became very rich after that. When she was a child, she was poor. Once, her friend invited her to her birthday party.

In the office, a small group of children were learning to play the guitar from Song Hao. “I had only seen guitars on TV before. But when Mr. Song came, he played the guitar for us. It sounded so beautiful that I fell in love with it at once,” said one child. 48-year-old Song loved music when he was a child. He received strict musical training and was quite good at playing the guitar and composing music (作曲). Several years ago, Song saw a village teacher playing the guitar on TV and singing a song he had written. Song was moved and wanted to do something with his own music, too. He wanted to make the world a brighter place for the children in the mountainous areas (山区). Where there is a dream, there is hope. Last year, his dream came true. Song worked in a village. And he taught the children there to play the guitar in his free time. Song also paid for 20 guitars and music books with his own money.

Did you hear music at any of those places? Today most stores and restaurants play music. You might even hear music in an office or on a farm. Scientists believe that music changes the way people behave. According to some scientists, the sound of Western classical music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people usually spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. Without background music, people spend even less. Scientists also believe that loud, fast music makes people cat faster. It’s interesting that people would like to chew (咀嚼) their food faster when the music gets faster. Some restaurants play fast music during busy hours. This gets people to eat faster and leave more quickly. In this way, restaurants can make more money. Some scientists think that music makes students think and learn better. They say that music helps students to be more active. It is true that students learn better when they are relaxed and listening to music can help them relax.

Her songs are not just about sweet romance and heartbreaks, but usually have bigger and more empowering themes. Take the songs Firework (2010) and Roar (2013) for example, where Perry sings about being our own master and discovering our true value. But actually, these themes are not daring enough, at least not for Perry. Earlier this year, she announced her new album Witness, together with a new idea for pop music. Perry calls her new style “purposeful pop”, meaning pop with a social and political message. It seems that Perry has become tired of simply encouraging people. Now, she wants to educate them politically as well. Part of her inspiration came during the 2016 US presidential election between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton. Perry was a very public supporter of Clinton because Trump was a candidate with a record of disrespectful behavior toward women. The best example of Perry’s purposeful pop is probably the song Chained to the Rhythm, in which Perry criticizes people’s obsession with their own ideas and the fact they are unwilling to think more critically about the world. As the song’s lyrics say, “Aren’t you lonely? Up there in utopia. Where nothing will ever be enough. Happily numb. So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble. So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble.” Even though the election is long over and Trump won, Perry’s political message seems to be continuing. But when it comes to the concept of purposeful pop, it is, in fact, something a lot of pop stars have been doing for a while. Beyonce’s 2016 song Formation, for example, deals with various social problems such as the dispute between white policemen and black citizens in the US, hoping to create change through music. “Formation isn’t just about police brutality—it’s about the entirety of the black experience in America in 2016, which includes standards of beauty, disempowerment, culture and the shared parts of our history,” wrote Jenna Wortham in The New York Times. To singers like Perry and Beyonce, songs are not just entertainment, but part of a movement. It may have seemed strange when this concept was first introduced, but it’s on its way to becoming normal. “The truth is, not speaking up in 2017 means you’re part of the problem. It’s no longer OK to be quiet and complacent,” wrote Shannon Carlin on entertainment news website Bustle. 【回答问题】 1．In which songs did Perry sing to become our own master? 2．What did Perry call her new style? 3．Who did Perry support, Donald Trump or Hilary Clinton? 4．Which song of Beyonce reflects social problems? 5．What is Formation about? 根据短文回答问题。 Almost everyone shares the same daily routine（例行公事）: beginning the day by reading the newspaper, then going off to work and then returning home tired and ready for bed. Younger people in school or college may have a different routine from adults, but their lives are pretty similar. Most people, young or old, can’t find the time or energy to relax and enjoy the day. Luckily, music is here to help us forget our worries and feel peaceful. Besides being pleasant to the ear, music can help us relax. Music is also good because it can teach us something about different languages and cultures and all around the world. Everyone likes music and every country has a history of music to be proud of. From birth to death, we have music along with us. Music, like all forms of art, is another way to add peace to our lives. Modern studies show that relaxing music can do good to our bodies in some way as hard exercise does. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician, said that some kinds of music could change behavior patterns. Listening to the sounds of music can make us relax ourselves. Music can help people communicate and express their feelings. Every day people enjoy songs on the radio because the songs reflect（反映）their feelings inside. Lovers need love songs for each other. As much as music expresses feelings, it can also change feelings. A sad day can be made happy with the help of music. Sometimes when we feel angry we need angry music to make us feel better. Music can also help people remember something.

Amusic people often can’t tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. That’s because most people can’t understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a bar or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Mary, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Mary, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex (复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Mary felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘______.’” says Mary. 1．What are amusic people? 2．Why is life hard for amusics? 3．What did Mary use to hate? 4．What causes amusics different from most people in the scientists’ opinion? 5．What may Mary say in the blank of the last paragraph? 8 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 9 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
