[真题例析]
(2025·浙江卷1月阅读C节选)
A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it's based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.
28.What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Running out of. B.Keeping away from.
C.Putting up with. D.Taking advantage of.
返回
‹#›
根据上文“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing.”可知,矩阵种植是让大自然自身承接更多的工作;结合常识和画线词所在句中“to garden more like nature does”可推知,要像大自然那样进行园艺种植,让大自然自身承接更多的工作,就不需要使用化肥和电动工具。所以画线词“Eschewing”的意思是“避开、远离”,与“Keeping away from”同义。

(建议用时:30分钟 满分:42.5分)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分)
A
(2026·湖南益阳模拟)Driving to a meeting at the Calgary Construction Association, I relaxed to CBC Radio, eager for non-construction news. I heard an interview with Elaine, who'd taught Chicago's cast to sing and was selling a new singing-lesson CD. Having just been “fired” from my husband's band for not taking singing seriously, I thought I should buy it.
返回
‹#›
Two years later, on a lunch break, I finally decided to look online and buy the CD. It turned out Elaine Overholt was coming to Calgary that weekend!
On Saturday morning, I arrived at the Cantos Music Centre with 60 strangers. After we settled in, Elaine arrived to enthusiastic applause. The morning involved vocal (发声的) exercises: controlled breathing, mouth stretches, and sounds like “Maw-meee-mee-mee”.
返回
‹#›
Then came individual performances in front of the entire group. Nervous, I watched others perform. The first woman went up and sang with a high, trembling voice—unlike her natural tone. I started fooling myself: I could do this. Elaine gave her helpful advice and the woman thanked her before stepping down. The next student stepped up and opened her mouth. She was great! Could be Celine Dion in disguise. When she stopped singing like an angel, I made my move to sneak away.
“Nope!”Elaine yelled from the stage, pointing directly at me. I sank into my chair. She asked my preferred key.“The lowest possible,”I requested. She played a note, and I sang her song about rainbows, instantly realizing it was too high. By the end, only dogs could hear me. Elaine said, “You really made that your own,” and talked about “key choice” and “breath control”.

(2026·河北保定四校联考)Helms Ategeka wants to be a pop star. But when he told his dad he planned to go after a music degree after his graduation next month from high school, his father wasn't exactly excited.
So last fall, the Oakland, California, teenager took a different approach. He started applying to colleges. More than 150 of them. Before long, he got an acceptance letter. Then another. And another. The trickle (细流) became a flood until there were 122 of them — along with some $5.3 million in scholarship offers.

‹#›
His father says he's proud of Helms' 3.94 GPA and had hoped his son would pick a career with financial stability, like medicine or computer technology. But as he watched the mountain of acceptance letters in his son's room get bigger with every mail delivery, Chris Ategeka's hope disappeared.
“He's so confident that music is what he wants to do. It would be wrong for me to try to guide him otherwise ... That's why he applied to many colleges to prove a point,” Chris says. “I told him, ‘You want to be a musician? It takes a lot of hard work.’ And his reaction was, ‘I'll use my determination to do this to show you how hard I can work.’”

But how does an 18-year-old begin narrowing down such a massive list of options? “I live for music. I spend most of my time either listening to music, making music or out there performing,” Helms says. “I feel the most alive and fulfilled when I'm doing something related to music.”
So when he started his college application journey, he had one key requirement: the school needed to have a strong music program.

Helms spent the past few months studying the websites and social media accounts of schools that accepted him. He's watched videos of their music programs to get a sense of where he fits in. After months of research, Helms made his choice: he will stay nearby and study music at UC Berkeley. A spokesperson for Berkeley confirmed that he's been accepted.

(2025·江西鹰潭模拟)Do songs share certain universal features across cultures? If you hear a song in an unfamiliar language or rhythm, can you still grasp its social purpose?
A 2019 study in Science demonstrated that listeners from 60 countries could reliably identify whether 14-second song clips were used for dancing, comforting infants, or healing rituals—even when the songs came from entirely unfamiliar cultures. This finding connects with my field experiences listening to Haitian songs.
返回
‹#›
Harold Courlander, a folklorist who worked in Haiti throughout the 1930s, says, “Music combines practically all aspects of Haitian existence. Farmers often perform their tasks with drumming in the background. And in the temple, the iron hoe in the fields often serves as a musical instrument.”
Actually, I regularly heard families and friends here use songs in order to heal the soul, to release social stress, to comfort noisy babies, and to relax their bodies. For example, professional singers like Nanis memorized hundreds upon hundreds of songs over the course of their lives, using them to comfort their grandchildren and playfully lighten the mood.
返回
‹#›
Struggling to learn and recognize the new sounds, words, ideas, and body language around me was a day-to-day reality — a fun and challenging one. For months, I worked to listen to each word as Nanis sang. When others in town heard Nanis sing, the message of these songs could respond to their lives, bringing them back to life moments when these songs had been sung before. It could also throw them forward into imagined futures where they might be sung again.
返回
‹#›
However, I still remember that when I heard Nanis's M pap di anyen Ayida for the first time, I didn't make the mistake of thinking that I heard the song in the same way that a resident would. The song, impactful as it was, was interpreted through my own social background and musical experience.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分)
(2026·河南商丘模拟)We may have the experience of keeping our favorite song replaying itself in our minds. Experts agree that music has the ability to activate the hippocampus (海马体), especially when the songs transport you to happy moments in your life. 1 However, it is also important to pay attention to some mental patterns that may consistently dominate, as this could be an anxiety disorder.
2 From a psychological perspective, this could be similar to the obsessive thoughts (执念) that reoccur in their mind. In this regard, psychologist María Angélica Barrero points out that music can be a wonderful tool for relaxation if you use it for what it is: music-listen to it carefully and enjoy it. 3 .

Now, let's look at what happens to music that is created with the intention of being catchy so that it repeats in our brains.
“Music bug” is a phenomenon that occurs when a song or melody plays repeatedly in the mind and becomes trapped in a person's head. 4 When you experience moments of “musical urges”, it's important to know that you have little conscious control over your brain.
What's the best strategy to suppress (抑制) the “musical urge”? 5 . After completing this step, boost your cognitive (认知) health with some exercise that excites you and absorbs your attention, such as riddles and crossword puzzles.

A.This situation is not so serious as you think.
B.Listen to the entire song without interruption!
C.However, using a song to avoid anxiety is not healthy.
D.Technically, it's known as “involuntary musical imagery”.
E.Nervous people are more likely to listen to a song repeatedly.
F.In fact, songs with strong emotional ties are losing their appeal.
G.Listening to a song several times can be harmless for most people.
