Specifically, classical music refers to orchestral music of the 18th and early 19th century, which is played with traditional European instruments, often in large orchestras. Beethoven and Mozart are two of the most famous classical composers. Blues Blues started off as the music of the African slaves who were brought to the United States, closely related to the music of West Africa. It became well-known throughout the world through musicians such as Moody Waters and B．B．King. In many ways, blues remains an important element in many of today’s popular tunes. Jazz Jazz grew out of blues. As with blues, one of the important elements of jazz is improvisation (即兴演奏). Improvisation happens when a musician plays unwritten music to fit the mood of the occasion. One of the most famous names in jazz is Miles Davis. He was famous for always finding new ways of playing jazz, and for many people, this represented the spirit of jazz. Rock’n’roll and rock Rock’n’roll developed from fast blues. Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley were the big names in rock’n’roll and the Beatles in England took the music and made their own sounds from it. When the guitars got louder and the guitar solos (独奏) got longer, rock’n’roli became just rock. Now rock is one of the most popular forms of music in the world and its fans can be found all over the world. Creating new music Today, these names of music styles are less important to musicians. Radio, television and the Internet have made it easier for sounds to travel across cultures, and styles have become more mixed. If there is one thing the history of popular music has shown, it is that good musicians will always create new music from the different styles they hear. 1．Which is still a vital part in today’s popular tunes? A．Blues. B．Jazz. C．Classical music. D．Rock’n’roll and rock. 2．Which of the following persons is famous for Rock music? A．Mozart. B．Moody Waters. C．Miles Davis. D．Elvis Presley. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．The technological development limits the spread of music. B．It’s easier for different music to maintain their own unique styles. C．The best musicians attach importance to the names of music styles. D．New music by good musicians can gain its place in the history of popular music. B \Although I’m not a music major, I brought my beloved violin to the United States during this study abroad semester. This violin could not be kept apart from my life. When I was six years old, I was one of the typical kids who started to learn musical instruments. Parents would hear their young kids shouting, “Mom! I want to learn the piano! Dad! I want to learn the violin!” Well, the difference is, for me, that it was not my free will. Yes, my mom just forced me to play the violin. In the violin school, you could hear the kids crying in the practice room after being scolded (责骂) by their moms. I was one of them. At the time, I hated the violin. However, I started to love the violin when my mom stopped focusing on my relationship with the violin in high school, because her attention naturally changed to my school performance. Maybe she didn’t have enough energy to force me to practice anymore. When I finally got into college, the first thing I did was to register for the campus orchestra. I didn’t want to stop playing the violin. The orchestra helped me get involved in such a harmonious, friendly group for the first time while I was playing an instrument. It was my first time meeting friends who have similar hobbies, passion and dreams. I can’t forget my first classical concert. I was feeling true love toward the orchestra and the violin. I was extremely excited and I couldn’t wait for the next concert. The time just passed as a blink. Two hours felt like 10 minutes. For everyone, it’s never too late to learn to play an instrument. It is really one of the best ways to express one’s emotions and communicate it to other people, and I have grown my emotions while being a part of an orchestra. 4．What can we know about the author’s mother when he was six? A．She loved playing the violin. B．She suffered from a serious illness. C．She cared about the author’s grades. D．She forced the author to learn the violin. 5．What did the author do first when he entered college? A．He changed his major to music. B．He attended a famous violin concert. C．He signed up for the campus orchestra. D．He met friends with similar hobbies. 6．What does the author think of his first classical concert? A．Impressive. B．Beneficial. C．Ordinary. D．Inspiring. 7．What is the main idea of the passage? A．His mother's strict education. B．His deep affection for the violin. C．His nice orchestra experience. D．Benefits of learning instruments. C Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. “It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.” The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.” 8．How did the researchers conduct the study? A．By referring to previous studies. B．By making pre-post comparisons. C．By conducting drug experiments. D．By employing computer modeling. 9．What does the decrease of SCG’s BOLD signal mean? A．Patients’ depression was relieved. B．Motor symptoms got much worse. C．Brain activity became totally abnormal. D．Patients needed more medical treatment. 10．According to the last paragraph, what is the purpose of dancing for Parkinson’s patients? A．To teach them dance skills. B．To improve their life quality. C．To cure Parkinson’s disease. D．To activate all the brain regions. 11．What is the best title of the text? A．Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B．Dancing With Your Mood Circuits C．Dancing: Multiple Benefits to Be Seen D．Dancing: A Journey to Mental Well-Being D A report by Pollstar reveals that concert ticket prices increased by 55% between 2019 and 2022. This dramatic rise can be associated with several factors, including inflation (通货膨胀), supply chain issues, and the demands of artists. Despite these growing costs, concert attendance remains strong. Economist Julia Coronado explains, “You can’t copy the energy of being in a crowd, singing along with your favorite band, or seeing your favorite star perform live.” Fans are willing to invest extra money for these unforgettable moments, which streaming services or recorded music cannot copy. The growing popularity of festivals and multi-day concerts also contributes to the rise of “funflation”. These events often feature numerous acts that vindicate the higher ticket prices. A survey conducted by Eventbrite found that 71% of festival-goers felt “more connected” to their favorite artists after attending live events. However, the rise of “funflation” has raised concerns among critics. Some argue that this trend affects some people much more than others, especially lower-income individuals who may find it challenging to afford high-priced tickets. Coronado points out, “It’s becoming more difficult for people with lower incomes to participate... It’s becoming an exclusive activity.” This view highlights the potential barriers that rising ticket prices create for certain groups of the population. Despite these valid (合理的) concerns, concert promoters remain optimistic about the future of live music. Aliaga expresses confidence in the ever-lasting appeal of live events, stating, “People will always find ways to prioritize fun... As long as there’s demand, supply will follow.” This optimism suggests that the trend of “funflation” will continue. The rise in concert ticket prices reflects a cultural change in how people value their leisure time and entertainment options. While critics highlight the accessibility issues posed by rising ticket prices, the live entertainment industry remains confident in its growth potential. As the industry adapts to these changing dynamics, it will be interesting to see how it addresses the concerns of accessibility while continuing to develop. 12．Why do fans accept higher concert ticket prices? A．They dislike streaming music. B．They expect free on-site gifts. C．They enjoy unique experiences. D．They long to interact with stars. 13．What does the underlined word “vindicate” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Justify. B．Expect. C．Ignore. D．Adjust. 14．What is critics’ concern about “funflation”? A．It makes the poor poorer. B．It limits audience diversity. C．It harms artist-fan bonds. D．It lowers artists’ popularity. 15．How does the text’s view differ from concert promoters’? A．It stresses social fairness. B．It rejects fun as a priority. C．It emphasizes multiple options. D．It questions industry prospects. 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 has many advantages. It’s motivational, moving and educational. 16 One of those ways is during exercise. It can be a crucial element in enhancing your workout. Here’s how: Your body’s movement naturally matches a song’s rhythm, which can help you stick to a specific pace. When picking music for a workout, choose songs that are close to your natural steps. 17 The music you listen to during a workout helps with motivation, though different songs have different ways. 18 If you put on music that’s unexpected, you will be interested in hearing what comes next in the song, which may also keep you moving longer than usual. 19 If you’re looking for an added challenge, pick a song with a pace that is a little quicker than your average running or walking steps. This could help you move faster throughout your workout. Music can help distract you from boredom during a workout. 20 As you sing along to lyrics or are reminded of music-induced (音乐引发的) memories, songs let your mind wander throughout a workout, so you don’t have to think about how hard your workout is. A．You can use music to increase your pace, too. B．In this way, you can quickly get used to your workout. C．Thus, individual music preferences should be considered. D．No one wants to focus on their tough workout as they’re in it. E．There are endless ways we use music to get through our days. F．If you hear your favorite song, it may keep you going for longer. G．It’s ideal if you’re looking to improve your walking or running pace. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Masayuki Tayama, a well-known pianist, grew tired of huge halls where the audience felt miles away.

(他们使用老年抑郁量表（GDS）在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁，并定期进行MRI扫描。)”可知，研究人员在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁，是通过前后对比来进行研究的。 9．细节理解题。根据第四段““We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza.(德索萨表示：“我们发现，人们跳舞时，胼胝体下扣带回的血氧水平依赖信号会减弱。这说明，该脑区的活跃程度要低于处于抑郁状态时的水平。”)”可知，胼胝下回扣带皮层的血氧信号减弱意味着患者的抑郁得到缓解。 10．细节理解题。根据最后一段“What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life.(我们想做的，就是帮助人们提升生活质量。)”可知，根据最后一段，帕金森患者跳舞的目的是提升生活质量。 11．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明，跳舞可以降低与帕金森氏症相关的抑郁，其益处通过多种方式看出。)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了舞蹈可缓解帕金森病患者的抑郁症状，由此可知，A项“跳舞远离帕金森氏症的忧郁”适合作为文章标题。 D A report by Pollstar reveals that concert ticket prices increased by 55% between 2019 and 2022. This dramatic rise can be associated with several factors, including inflation (通货膨胀), supply chain issues, and the demands of artists. Despite these growing costs, concert attendance remains strong. Economist Julia Coronado explains, “You can’t copy the energy of being in a crowd, singing along with your favorite band, or seeing your favorite star perform live.” Fans are willing to invest extra money for these unforgettable moments, which streaming services or recorded music cannot copy. The growing popularity of festivals and multi-day concerts also contributes to the rise of “funflation”. These events often feature numerous acts that vindicate the higher ticket prices. A survey conducted by Eventbrite found that 71% of festival-goers felt “more connected” to their favorite artists after attending live events. However, the rise of “funflation” has raised concerns among critics. Some argue that this trend affects some people much more than others, especially lower-income individuals who may find it challenging to afford high-priced tickets. Coronado points out, “It’s becoming more difficult for people with lower incomes to participate... It’s becoming an exclusive activity.” This view highlights the potential barriers that rising ticket prices create for certain groups of the population. Despite these valid (合理的) concerns, concert promoters remain optimistic about the future of live music. Aliaga expresses confidence in the ever-lasting appeal of live events, stating, “People will always find ways to prioritize fun... As long as there’s demand, supply will follow.” This optimism suggests that the trend of “funflation” will continue. The rise in concert ticket prices reflects a cultural change in how people value their leisure time and entertainment options. While critics highlight the accessibility issues posed by rising ticket prices, the live entertainment industry remains confident in its growth potential. As the industry adapts to these changing dynamics, it will be interesting to see how it addresses the concerns of accessibility while continuing to develop. 12．Why do fans accept higher concert ticket prices? A．They dislike streaming music. B．They expect free on-site gifts. C．They enjoy unique experiences. D．They long to interact with stars. 13．What does the underlined word “vindicate” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Justify. B．Expect. C．Ignore. D．Adjust. 14．What is critics’ concern about “funflation”? A．It makes the poor poorer. B．It limits audience diversity. C．It harms artist-fan bonds. D．It lowers artists’ popularity. 15．How does the text’s view differ from concert promoters’? A．It stresses social fairness. B．It rejects fun as a priority. C．It emphasizes multiple options. D．It questions industry prospects. 【答案】12．C 13．A 14．B 15．A 【导语】文章主要讲述了2019年至2022年间演唱会票价飙升的现象，分析了粉丝接受高价的心理原因、批评者对低收入群体被排斥的担忧，以及行业推广者的乐观态度。 【详解】12．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Fans are willing to invest extra money for these unforgettable moments, which streaming services or recorded music cannot copy.(粉丝们愿意为这些难忘的时刻投入额外的金钱，这是流媒体服务或录音音乐无法复制的)”可知，粉丝接受高价是因为他们享受这种独特的现场体验。 13．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“These events often feature numerous acts that vindicate the higher ticket prices.(这些活动通常包含许多表演项目，以此来vindicate较高的票价)”可知，众多的演出阵容使得高票价显得是合理的，因此vindicate意为“证明……是正当的”，与Justify同义。 14．细节理解题。根据第三段中“It’s becoming more difficult for people with lower incomes to participate... It’s becoming an exclusive activity.(对于低收入人群来说，参与变得越来越困难……这正在变成一项排他性的活动)”可知，批评者担心“乐趣通胀”限制了观众的多样性，让部分人群无法参与。 15．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While critics highlight the accessibility issues posed by rising ticket prices, the live entertainment industry remains confident in its growth potential.(尽管批评者强调了票价上涨带来的可及性问题，现场娱乐行业仍对其增长潜力充满信心)”可知，文章的观点侧重于关注社会公平和准入障碍。 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 has many advantages. It’s motivational, moving and educational. 16 One of those ways is during exercise. It can be a crucial element in enhancing your workout. Here’s how: Your body’s movement naturally matches a song’s rhythm, which can help you stick to a specific pace. When picking music for a workout, choose songs that are close to your natural steps. 17 The music you listen to during a workout helps with motivation, though different songs have different ways. 18 If you put on music that’s unexpected, you will be interested in hearing what comes next in the song, which may also keep you moving longer than usual. 19 If you’re looking for an added challenge, pick a song with a pace that is a little quicker than your average running or walking steps. This could help you move faster throughout your workout. Music can help distract you from boredom during a workout. 20 As you sing along to lyrics or are reminded of music-induced (音乐引发的) memories, songs let your mind wander throughout a workout, so you don’t have to think about how hard your workout is. A．You can use music to increase your pace, too. B．In this way, you can quickly get used to your workout. C．Thus, individual music preferences should be considered. D．No one wants to focus on their tough workout as they’re in it. E．There are endless ways we use music to get through our days. F．If you hear your favorite song, it may keep you going for longer. G．It’s ideal if you’re looking to improve your walking or running pace. 【答案】16．E 17．B 18．F 19．A 20．D 【导语】本文介绍音乐助力运动的诸多好处，它能贴合运动节奏、激发动力、加快步伐，还可转移注意力驱散枯燥，让人们更轻松坚持锻炼。 【详解】16．根据后文“One of those ways is during exercise. It can be a crucial element in enhancing your workout.(其中一种方式是在锻炼时进行。这在提升锻炼效果方面可能起到至关重要的作用)”可知，空后提到“One of those ways”，和E选项“我们在日常生活中有无数使用音乐的方式”中的ways呼应，引出“锻炼时使用音乐”这个例子。 17．根据上文“Your body’s movement naturally matches a song’s rhythm, which can help you stick to a specific pace. When picking music for a workout, choose songs that are close to your natural steps.(你的身体动作会自然而然地与歌曲的节奏相契合，这有助于你保持特定的节奏。在选择锻炼时的音乐时，应挑选与你自然步伐较为接近的歌曲)”可知，空前说明选择贴合自身自然步频的歌曲，B选项“这样一来，你就能很快适应锻炼”承接前文方法带来的结果，逻辑通顺。 18．根据上文“The music you listen to during a workout helps with motivation, though different songs have different ways.(在锻炼时所听的音乐有助于激发动力，不过不同的歌曲有着不同的效果)”以及后文“If you put on music that’s unexpected, you will be interested in hearing what comes next in the song, which may also keep you moving longer than usual.(如果你播放一些出乎意料的音乐，你就会很期待接下来的旋律会如何发展，这可能会让你比平时保持更长时间的活跃状态)”可知，空前指出不同歌曲对动力有不同作用，空后提到意想不到的音乐能让你运动更久，F选项“如果你听到自己最喜欢的歌，它也能让你坚持更久”符合“不同歌曲都能延长运动时间”的语境。 19．根据后文“If you’re looking for an added challenge, pick a song with a pace that is a little quicker than your average running or walking steps. This could help you move faster throughout your workout.(如果你想要增加一些挑战性的话，可以选择一首节奏比你平常跑步或行走的步伐稍快一点的歌曲。这样在锻炼过程中你就能走得更快了)”可知，空后提到选择更快节奏的歌曲可以帮助提升运动速度，A选项“你也可以用音乐来提升自己的配速”总领该段内容。 20．根据上文“Music can help distract you from boredom during a workout.(音乐能够帮助你在锻炼时暂时忘却无聊之感)”以及后文“As you sing along to lyrics or are reminded of music-induced (音乐引发的) memories, songs let your mind wander throughout a workout, so you don’t have to think about how hard your workout is.(当你跟着歌词哼唱，或者被音乐唤起了一些与之相关的记忆时，歌曲能让你在锻炼过程中思绪漫游，这样你就无需去思考锻炼的难度了)”可知，空前说明音乐可以帮你在锻炼中转移无聊感，空后提到音乐让你不用去想锻炼有多辛苦，D选项“没人想在锻炼过程中，一直专注于艰苦的训练”衔接前后逻辑。 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Masayuki Tayama, a well-known pianist, grew tired of huge halls where the audience felt miles away.

The musical is derived from the classic five-act poetic drama of the same name, 37 (write) in the 19th century by French poet and playwright Edmond Rostand. People call it “ 38 best 19th-century French drama.” This famous work 39 (win) the hearts of audiences for many years with its lasting beautiful language and strong feelings. As a musical, the people 40 made it kept the romantic essence of the original while giving it a new meaning with modern ideas. It makes old characters like Cyrano, Roxane and Christian more easy to like for today’s audiences. The touring musical 41 (use) a new way of telling the story. It does not keep the story in the 1600s. This new form cleverly moves it to a more modern, artistic world. Cyrano is now a talented but shy songwriter who works 42 the scenes; Roxane is a young woman who wants to be a ballet dancer. Cyrano hides his love for Roxane not because of his big nose, 43 because they are almost 30 years apart in age. Stephane Brunello, one of the musical’s songwriters, says that creating the music was 44 (true) challenging as they explored ways to blend the original story with poetic French words and richer musical elements such as jazz, pop, rock, and more.“You will be 45 (emotion), surprised, amazed, and moved by this musical,” says Brunello. 【答案】 36．impressing 37．written 38．the 39．has won 40．who/that 41．uses 42．behind 43．but 44．truly 45．emotional 【导语】介绍了法国经典音乐剧《大鼻子情圣》首次来到中国上海演出，讲述了其改编自同名经典戏剧，介绍了音乐剧在保留原著浪漫精髓的同时做出的创新改变，还提及了音乐创作的挑战。 【详解】36．考查非谓语动词。句意：原创法国热门音乐剧《大鼻子情圣》，有史以来最动人的爱情故事之一，5月14日首次在上海登陆中国，其充满活力的新变化以及为中国巡演特别创作的新歌曲给观众留下了深刻印象。此句已有谓语动词“came”，所以“impress”要用非谓语动词形式。“The original French musical hit Cyrano de Bergerac”与“impress”之间是主动关系，即音乐剧给观众留下印象，所以用现在分词impressing作伴随状语。 37．考查非谓语动词。句意：这部音乐剧改编自19世纪法国诗人兼剧作家埃德蒙·罗斯丹创作的同名经典五幕诗剧。“write”与“the classic five-act poetic drama”之间是被动关系，即诗剧被创作，所以用过去分词written作后置定语。 38．考查冠词。句意：人们称它为“19世纪最优秀的法国戏剧”。形容词最高级“best”前要用定冠词the。 39．考查动词时态。句意：多年来，这部著名作品以其永恒优美的语言和强烈的情感赢得了观众的心。根据时间状语“for many years”可知，此处强调过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响，应用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has +过去分词”，主语“This famous work”是单数，所以用has won。 40．考查定语从句。句意：作为一部音乐剧，创作它的人在保留原著浪漫精髓的同时，用现代理念赋予它新的意义。此处为定语从句，先行词是“the people”，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who或that引导。 41．考查动词时态。句意：巡回演出的音乐剧采用了一种新的讲故事方式。此处描述的是一般事实，应用一般现在时，主语“The touring musical”是单数，所以谓语动词use用第三人称单数形式uses。 42．考查介词。句意：西哈诺现在是一位有才华但害羞的幕后歌曲创作者。“behind the scenes”是固定短语，意为“在幕后”，符合语境，所以此处用介词behind。 43．考查连词。句意：西哈诺隐藏对罗克珊的爱，不是因为他的大鼻子，而是因为他们年龄相差近30岁。“not...but...”是固定搭配，意为“不是……而是……”，所以此处用but。 44．考查副词。句意：该剧的词曲作者之一斯特凡纳·布鲁内洛说，创作音乐真的很有挑战性，因为他们要探索如何将原著故事与富有诗意的法语词汇以及更丰富的音乐元素（如爵士乐、流行乐、摇滚乐等）相融合。此处修饰形容词“challenging”，应用副词，true的副词形式为truly。 45．考查形容词。句意：布鲁内洛说：“你会被这部音乐剧打动、惊讶、惊叹和感动。”根据“surprised, amazed, and moved”可知，此处应用形容词作表语，emotion的形容词形式为emotional，意为“情绪激动的”。 第三部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46．假定你是李华，即将回国的英国交换生Chris给你写邮件询问是否可以教他一首中文歌曲。请你给他写一封邮件表示同意，内容包括： 1.你选择的歌曲； 2.选择的原因。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, I am so glad to learn that you are interested in learning a Chinese song. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Chris, I am so glad to learn that you are interested in learning a Chinese song. I recommend “Farewell” as you’re leaving soon. Its melody comes from a Western tune, so you’ll find it familiar.

It’ll also help you practice pronunciation. What do you think? Hope we can sing it together before you go. Yours, Li Hua 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生给笔友Chris写一封回信，同意教他一首中文歌曲，告知选择的歌曲以及选择该歌曲的原因。 【详解】1.词汇积累 方法：way→approach 帮助：help→assist 表达：express→convey 间接地：indirectly→in an indirect way 2. 句式拓展： 同义句转换 原句：I recommend “Farewell” as you’re leaving soon. 拓展句： I recommend a song whose name is  “Farewell” as you’re leaving soon. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Hope we can sing it together before you go.(运用了省略了that的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Since we’re about to part, it feels very personal.(运用了Since引导的原因状语从句) 第二节（满分25分） 47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Looking at her granddaughter Pat, old Betty felt truly thankful for her life.

Bad days came now and then, but Betty always held a simple belief: there was goodness in everything if you looked hard enough. This was also what Frank had always told her. Betty once loved playing tennis. However, she had to give up her hobby because of her knee problem. Still, she tried to stay positive and went out for a short walk every day to enjoy the fresh air and warm sunshine after long cloudy days. Life was simple but peaceful. One day, a removal van (小货车) arrived. A young family moved into the house opposite Betty’s. Soon Grace, the new neighbor, came to visit Betty with a warm smile. She introduced her family: her husband Jon and their two children, Mel and David. Grace explained that Mel loved music and practised the violin quite often. Worried about making noise, she left her phone number and offered to help Betty with shopping in her free time, since she would work part-time at a local primary school. Betty was moved and told Grace to let Mel play the violin as much as she liked. Later, Betty saw Mel standing outside alone, looking unhappy. The teenage girl missed her old friends and music group in her hometown and was unsure whether her music was good enough. Kind Betty noticed her sadness. She comforted Mel and encouraged her to be brave. She told Mel not to fear failure and to show her talent freely, because life favored those who dared to try. Inspired by her words, Mel cheered up and decided to practise harder. Soon came Betty’s 87th birthday. The day turned bright and lovely. Relatives and friends called one after another to send their wishes.

She spared her spare time to polish this piece over the past week, hoping to deliver the best performance. When the lively birthday celebration gradually quieted down, she walked forward shyly. With her beloved violin in hand, she started playing the familiar tune. The gentle melody floated in the room, soothing everyone present. Touched and delighted, Betty wore a sincere smile and enjoyed the precious performance wholeheartedly. “That was the most wonderful gift,” Betty said, her voice filled with warmth. She squeezed Mel’s hands affectionately and spoke highly of her exquisite skills and brave persistence. Gratefully, Mel shared that Betty’s kindness and encouragement had cured her loneliness and built up her confidence. Afterwards, Mel regularly came to play the violin for Betty, and the beautiful music bonded the two kind souls and brightened their simple daily life. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了善良乐观的贝蒂在丈夫去世后依然积极生活，新邻居家热爱音乐的女孩梅尔因思念家乡朋友和怀疑自己的音乐水平而感到不开心，在贝蒂的鼓励下重新振作起来，并在贝蒂生日时用音乐给她带来惊喜的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“知道贝蒂喜欢《一个全新的世界》这首歌，梅尔决定给她一个惊喜”可知，第一段可描写梅尔为给贝蒂惊喜所做的准备以及在生日会上为贝蒂演奏歌曲的场景，重点突出贝蒂的感动。 ②由第二段首句内容““那是最美妙的礼物，”贝蒂说，声音里充满了温暖”可知，第二段可描写贝蒂对梅尔的感谢和夸赞，以及梅尔对贝蒂的感激，还有之后两人因音乐而产生的深厚情谊。 2.续写线索：梅尔利用空闲时间练习——生日会逐渐安静下来——梅尔开始演奏——贝蒂被感动，露出真诚的微笑贝蒂夸赞梅尔——梅尔感谢贝蒂——两人因音乐结下深厚情谊。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①利用空闲时间：spare her spare time/make use of her free time/utilize her leisure time ②向前走：walk forward/step forward/move ahead ③高度赞扬：speak highly of/praise greatly/commend 情绪类 ①高兴：delighted/pleased/happy ②勇敢：brave/courageous/fearless 【点睛】【高分句型1】She spared her spare time to polish this piece over the past week, hoping to deliver the best performance.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】Gratefully, Mel shared that Betty’s kindness and encouragement had cured her loneliness and built up her confidence.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 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12 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
