Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important. It is often only thought to be entertainment (娱乐), but not the first choice for education. 1 In fact, music education is much more necessary (必要的) than people usually think. 2 Music reflects the musicians’ thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from. For example, just as Mozart’s music represents (代表) a lifestyle, rock music also represents a lifestyle. George Gershwin’s music is another example. 3 Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores emotional meanings, such as sadness and happiness. People need every possible way to learn about our world. Music shows people’s thoughts. 4 We can “talk” to each other and exchange (交换) our thoughts in this amazing way. Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. All of these can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meanings that music expresses. Our children are lacking (缺乏) a wonderful part in their lives. 5 A．This opinion is wrong. B．It’s a special language. C．Music tells us who we are. D．Music makes our lives colorful. E．He introduced jazz style into his music. F．So music education is necessary for all students. G．We can’t express our opinions and emotions through music. 长难句解析 1. 原句：（第二段第二句）Music reflects the musicians' thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from. 2. 译文：音乐反映了音乐家的思想和观点，以及他们所处（来自）的社会环境。 3. 分析：主干是 Music reflects the musicians' thoughts and ideas, and the social environment。they came from 是定语从句，修饰 the social environment（省略了关系代词 that/which）。reflects 后接两个并列宾语：thoughts and ideas 和 the social environment。定语从句 they came from 中的 from 不能省略，因为 come from 是固定短语。 4. 2.原句：（第三段第九句）When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meanings that music expresses. 5. 译文：当我们不让孩子们接受良好的音乐教育时，我们就使他们远离了音乐所表达的意义。 6. 分析：When 引导时间状语从句，主句是 we take them away from the meanings。that music expresses 是定语从句，修饰 meanings。take... away from... 意为“把……从……带走/远离”。定语从句的先行词是 meanings，关系代词 that 在从句中作 expresses 的宾语。 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．E 4．B 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要阐述了音乐的重要性及其教育价值，反驳了音乐仅是娱乐的观点，并从音乐反映自我、认知世界、传递思想等方面论证了音乐教育的必要性。 【解析】1．空前文指出很多人认为音乐只是娱乐、并非教育的优先选择，空后说明音乐教育比人们普遍认为的更有必要性，A选项“This opinion is wrong.”恰好承接前文的错误认知，引出后文对音乐教育重要性的纠正，起到过渡作用。 2．空后内容提到音乐能反映音乐家的思想理念、他们所处的社会环境，不同的音乐代表不同的生活方式，这部分是在阐述音乐能够展现我们自身与所处的世界的特质，C选项“Music tells us who we are.”统领本段内容，匹配段落核心逻辑。 3．前文以莫扎特、摇滚音乐为例，又提到乔治·格什温的音乐是另一个例子，E选项“He introduced jazz style into his music.”中的He指代前文的George Gershwin，是对这个例子的补充说明，逻辑连贯。 4．空后提到我们可以用这种奇妙的方式“交谈”、交换想法，还提到“通过这种语言我们表达感受、发现、想法和希望”，B选项“It’s a special language.”引出后文将音乐类比为语言的相关论述，和后文的“talk”“language”形成呼应。 5．前文论述了如果不让孩子接受良好的音乐教育，会让他们缺失生命中很精彩的一部分，尾句是对全文音乐教育重要性的总结升华，F选项“So music education is necessary for all students.”总结全文主旨，收束整篇文章。 译文 音乐有多重要？许多人通常认为听音乐不错但并不是很重要。它通常只被认为是娱乐，而不是教育的首选。 事实上，音乐教育比人们通常认为的要必要得多。 音乐反映了音乐家的思想和观点，以及他们所处的社会环境。 例如，正如莫扎特的音乐代表了一种生活方式，摇滚音乐也代表了一种生活方式。乔治·格什温的音乐是另一个例子。 他的音乐是爵士乐和古典音乐的混合体，也代表了一种新的生活方式。 音乐提供了一种以不同方式认识世界的能力。科学解释了太阳如何升起和落下。音乐探索情感意义，如悲伤和快乐。人们需要每一种可能的方式来了解我们的世界。音乐展示了人们的思想。 音乐也是一种语言，我们都能理解。我们可以用这种奇妙的方式互相“交谈”并交流思想。通过语言，我们表达我们的感受、发现、想法和希望。所有这些都可以与他人分享。当我们不让孩子们接受良好的音乐教育时，我们就使他们远离了音乐所表达的意义。我们的孩子生活中缺少了一个精彩的部分。 没有音乐，生活将会很单调。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 entertainment /ˌen.t̬ɚˈteɪn.mənt/ n. 娱乐；消遣 reflect /rɪˈflekt/ v. 反映；体现 represent /ˌrep.rɪˈzent/ v. 代表；象征 lifestyle /ˈlaɪf.staɪl/ n. 生活方式 emotional /ɪˈmoʊ.ʃən.əl/ adj. 情感的；情绪的 exchange /ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/ v./n. 交换；交流（动词/名词） amazing /əˈmeɪ.zɪŋ/ adj. 令人惊奇的；了不起的 lack /læk/ v. 缺乏；缺少 take away /teɪk əˈweɪ/ 短语 带走；使离开 PassageB (24-25九上·河北邯郸育华中学·)In traditional Chinese performing arts, there are many classic roles, like Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou. Most people usually pay little attention to Chou. However, it is a very important part in traditional Chinese operas. The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly. In the past, the Chou performer was the first one to get dressed and have his make-up done. Usually there are two kinds of Chou on the stage, Wen Chou and Wu Chou. Wen Chou often has a white patch (小块) painted around his nose and takes the roles of fisherman, boatman, servant and so on. The other kind is Wu Chou. Wu Chou performers often wear tight clothing (紧身衣) and move quickly. They are good at martial arts (武术) and can jump several meters high. They usually express themselves in loud voices and play humorous roles, for example, kind thieves. Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language, instead of singing skills. Whether they look ugly or beautiful, whether the roles they play are officials or thieves on the stage, Chou roles are all humorous characters in funny faces. They use the roles of Chou to bring out the good qualities in people. Maybe it is the charm (魅力) of traditional Chinese operas. Next time, when you are enjoying a traditional Chinese opera, you can probably understand the different beauty behind it. 1．The role of Chou is important in traditional Chinese operas because ________. A．most people usually pay much attention to it B．it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly C．the Chou performer was the first to get dressed D．it is funny and makes people laugh and feel happy 2．Which picture is the role of Chou in traditional Chinese operas? A． B． C． D． 3．Chou performers often use ________ to make people laugh on the stage. A．dancing skills and spoken parts B．spoken parts and body language C．painting skills and spoken parts D．singing skills and body language 4．What can be the best title of the passage? A．Roles in Chinese Operas B．Chou in Chinese Operas C．Stories about Chinese Operas D．History of Chinese Operas 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第四句）The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly. 译文：原因在于它把美与丑完美地结合在一起。 分析：The reason is that... 是固定句型，意为“原因是……”，注意不能用 because 替换 that（because 不能引导表语从句）。joins... together 表示“把……结合在一起”，中间插入并列宾语 beauty and ugliness。 2.原句：（第三段第二句）Whether they look ugly or beautiful, whether the roles they play are officials or thieves on the stage, Chou roles are all humorous characters in funny faces. 译文：无论他们看起来丑还是美，无论他们在舞台上扮演的角色是官员还是小偷，丑角都是有着滑稽面孔的幽默角色。 分析：两个 Whether... or... 引导让步状语从句，表示“无论……还是……”。主句是 Chou roles are all humorous characters in funny faces。在第二个 whether 从句中，they play 是定语从句修饰 roles（省略了关系代词 that）。 3.原句：（第三段第三句）They use the roles of Chou to bring out the good qualities in people. 译文：他们用丑角这一角色来展现人们身上的优秀品质。 分析：主干是 They use the roles of Chou，to bring out the good qualities in people 是不定式作目的状语。use... to do... 表示“用……去做……”，to 是不定式符号。bring out 是动词短语，意为“使显现、展现、引出”。good qualities 意为“优秀品质”。 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍中国传统戏曲里的丑角，阐述丑角在戏曲中的重要地位、文丑与武丑两类丑角的外形特点和表演风格，以及丑角依靠念白、肢体语言逗乐观众、彰显人性美好品质的独特魅力。 【解析】1．第一段“The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly”，直接说明丑角在中国传统戏曲里十分重要的原因是它完美融合了美与丑。 2．第二段介绍文丑特征：“Wen Chou often has a white patch painted around his nose”，丑角独有的标志是鼻子周围画白色小块，对应图片C。 3．第三段写明表演方式：“Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language”，表明丑角通常依靠念白和肢体语言逗观众发笑。 4．全文围绕丑角展开，从丑角的重要性、分类、表演特色与独特魅力逐层介绍，全文核心叙述对象是戏曲丑角，因此最佳标题为Chou in Chinese Operas。 译文 在中国传统表演艺术中，有许多经典角色，比如生、旦、净、末、丑。大多数人通常不太关注丑角。然而，它是中国传统戏曲中非常重要的一部分。原因在于它把美与丑完美地结合在一起。在过去，丑角演员是第一个穿好戏服、化好妆的人。 舞台上通常有两种丑角——文丑和武丑。文丑通常在鼻子周围画一小块白色，扮演渔夫、船夫、仆人等角色。另一种是武丑。武丑演员通常穿紧身衣，动作敏捷。他们擅长武术，能跳几米高。他们通常用响亮的声音来表达自己，扮演幽默的角色，比如善良的小偷。 丑角演员通常通过台词和肢体语言来逗人发笑，而不是靠唱功。无论他们看起来丑还是美，无论他们在舞台上扮演的角色是官员还是小偷，丑角都是有着滑稽面孔的幽默角色。他们用丑角这一角色来展现人们身上的优秀品质。也许这就是中国传统戏曲的魅力所在。 下次，当你在欣赏中国传统戏曲时，你或许能理解它背后不同的美。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 classic /ˈklæs.ɪk/ adj. 经典的；传统的 ugliness /ˈʌɡ.li.nəs/ n. 丑陋 perform /pɚˈfɔːrm/ v. 表演；扮演 performer /pɚˈfɔːr.mɚ/ n. 表演者；演员 patch /pætʃ/ n. 小块；补丁（文中指脸上的白色块） tight /taɪt/ adj. 紧身的；紧的 martial arts /ˈmɑːr.ʃəl ɑːrts/ n.短语 武术 servant /ˈsɜːr.vənt/ n. 仆人；佣人 official /əˈfɪʃ.əl/ n. 官员；官吏 character /ˈker.ɪk.tɚ/ n. 角色；人物；性格 charm /tʃɑːrm/ n. 魅力；吸引力 bring out /brɪŋ aʊt/ 短语 使显现；展现；引出 1.

Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers. Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?” Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.” “Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.” “Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai. They finally agreed. Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” Kai was puzzled. What did she mean? “The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.” “Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?” “Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.” “Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?” “Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.” “Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question. “Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?” “I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.” That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered. Then, he had an idea... 1．In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________. A．play the drums well B．work well with others C．express personal feelings D．show the guqin’s value 2．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai. b. The classmates kept a short silence. c. Kai asked for another chance to play. d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem. e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms. A．a-e-d-c-b B．e-b-d-c-a C．e-a-b-d-c D．a-b-d-e-c 3．What lesson has Kai learned from his experience? A．Strict rules will stop our creativity in music. B．Traditional instruments should be modernized. C．Creation requires us to understand the tradition first. D．The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education. 4．What might we hear in Kai’s next show? A．Pop music in a traditional style. B．Folk music with local colour. C．Country music in a Western style. D．Rock music with drums and dizi. 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第二句）Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. 译文：  凯进行了一段古琴独奏，并且在演出的大部分时间里，他都是跟着鼓点的节奏演奏。 分析：这是一个由 and 连接的并列句。前半句是 Kai played a guqin solo，后半句是 he played along with the rhythm of the drums，其中 for most of the show 作时间状语，置于谓语动词之前。along with 意为“随着、连同”，play along with the rhythm 表示“跟着节奏演奏”。for most of the show 表示“在演出的大部分时间里”，for 接时间段。 2.原句：（第七段第三句）“But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” 译文：“但在你能打破规则之前，你必须先掌握它们。” 分析：break the rules 意为“打破规则”，master 在此作动词，意为“掌握、精通”。这句话富有哲理，是文章的核心观点之一——先继承再创新。 3.原句：（第十五段第一句）“Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value.” 译文：“古代音乐家遵循传统以表示尊重。要使它现代化，试着找到正确的方式来保留其价值。” 分析： 第一句主干是 Ancient musicians followed traditions，to show respect 是不定式作目的状语。第二句中，To modernize it 是不定式短语作目的状语，放于句首起强调作用，主干是 try to find the right way，to keep the value 是不定式作后置定语修饰 way。 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了Kai在乐队表演中尝试将古琴与鼓的节奏结合，但未能很好地展现古琴特点，在老师们的评价和建议下，他思考如何平衡传统精神与现代元素。 【解析】1．细节理解题。根据“But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well”、“The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin”以及“I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks...we could hardly hear the guqin”可知老师认为Kai没有很好地展现古琴的价值。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums”可知Kai和着鼓的节奏弹奏古琴，e排在首位，排除AD；根据“When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence”可知同学们沉默了一会儿，b排在第二，排除C。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.”以及“To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value.”可知在你打破规则之前，你必须掌握它们，为了使其现代化，试着找到正确的方法来保持价值，所以他从这次经历中学到的道理是：创新要求我们首先要理解传统。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?”以及前文提到古琴可以与笛子一起演奏，可推断出在Kai的下一场演出中我们可能会听到传统风格的流行音乐，将传统古琴与现代流行元素结合。故选A。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 drummer /ˈdrʌm.ɚ/ n. 鼓手 drumstick /ˈdrʌm.stɪk/ n. 鼓槌 solo /ˈsoʊ.loʊ/ n. 独奏；独唱 rhythm /ˈrɪð.əm/ n. 节奏；韵律 awkward /ˈɑː.kwɚd/ adj. 尴尬的；局促不安的 murmur /ˈmɜːr.mɚ/ v. 低语；喃喃自语 modernize /ˈmɑː.dɚ.naɪz/ v. 使现代化 characteristic /ˌker.ɪk.təˈrɪs.tɪk/ n. 特征；特点 master /ˈmæs.tɚ/ v. 掌握；精通（作动词） puzzled /ˈpʌz.əld/ adj. 困惑的；迷惑的 represent /ˌrep.rɪˈzent/ v. 代表；象征 harmony /ˈhɑːr.mə.ni/ n. 和谐；融洽 philosophy /fɪˈlɑː.sə.fi/ n. 哲学；哲理 Confucius /kənˈfjuː.ʃəs/ n. 孔子（专有名词） well-rounded /ˌwel ˈraʊn.dɪd/ adj. 全面的；全方面的 inner self /ˈɪn.ɚ self/ n.短语 内在自我；内心 Passage2 (2025·江苏省苏州市) Want to know what your friends are really like? Take a look at their music playlist. More than 36,000 people, from all over the world, took part in an experiment (实验). It compared their personalities with how much they liked different musical styles. The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here’s what certain musical styles say about who you are. Rock Like the sound of loud guitars and heavy drum beats? This type of music sounds very exciting, but fans of it are often quite gentle. Country music If cowboy hats and guitars get you singing along, it’s possible that you’re hard-working, preferring traditional styles and values. Jazz Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning. If you like the saxophone of John Coltrane, then you’re probably self-confident and easy to get on with. Classical music If Beethoven and Mozart have you turning up the music, you’re probably quiet, but happy with who you are and comfortable with the world around you. But the experiment didn’t tell the whole story: where we grow up, who we often go out with, and our personal experiences play into our taste, too. The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. But no matter what style you like, music is for everyone. And enjoying different types of music lets you get a taste of cultures you might not have experienced before. So experiment with your playlist! 1．What influences our musical taste according to the experiment? A．Personalities. B．Friends. C．Parents. D．Instruments. 2．According to the passage, if Daniel is creative, what may be found in his playlist? A．Rock. B．Country music. C．Jazz. D．Classical music. 3．What may be the writer’s advice for us? A．Changing our personalities. B．Trying different types of music. C．Doing experiments with friends. D．Getting more learning experiences. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How different cultures influence you. B．What your playlist says about you. C．What songs we can choose to enjoy.

In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings in recent years. When you dance, you move your body to different kinds of music, which helps your body produce a lot of endorphins (内啡肽) that can make you feel relaxed and happy. While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them gives better results. In a study, a group of scientists tested some groups of patients under three conditions: dancing with music, listening to music, riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group was the least depressed (沮丧的) . Dancing can bring people together, too. Whether it’s Tango (探戈) or any other Latin (拉丁) dance, people need to move with others. This can improve their sense of social bonding. Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that depression often has to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps people focus more on the present moment and free their mind for a while. Lauren Helper, a social worker, pointed out that if people enjoy music, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress. She also said that dancing can be done in many ways, whether it’s by moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. The important part is that it is fun. 1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．How hard it is to get endorphins. B．What kinds of music people like best. C．How exercise helps people keep healthy. D．Why dancing makes people relaxed and happy. 2．What can cheer people up most when they are sad according to Paragraph 3? A．Riding a bike. B．Taking a walk. C．Listening to a song. D．Dancing with music. 3．What does the underlined word “bonding” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Order. B．Service. C．Connection. D．Competition. 4．What can we learn from Lauren Helper’s words in the last paragraph? A．Soft music is the best for dancing. B．People can reduce stress by dancing. C．Dancing is difficult for most people. D．Young people prefer to dance with friends. 5．What is the best structure of the passage? A．①②/③/④⑤⑥ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥ C．①/②③④/⑤⑥ D．①②③④/⑤⑥ 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，通过阐述舞蹈产生内啡肽、结合音乐与运动的效果、促进社交、帮助专注当下等方面，说明舞蹈对改善情绪的积极作用。 【解析】1．第二段解释了跳舞时身体会产生内啡肽，从而让人感到放松和快乐，核心是“舞蹈使人放松快乐的原因”。 2．第三段通过实验对比（跳舞+音乐、听音乐、骑车），得出“跳舞+音乐的一组最不沮丧”，因此最能让人振作的是“跟着音乐跳舞”。 3．第四段提到“Dancing can bring people together...move with others”，说明舞蹈促进社交“联系”，“bonding”意为“connection（联结）”。 4．最后一段Lauren Helper指出“dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress”，即跳舞能帮助减压。 5．结合全文可知，文章结构为：①总起，讲述舞蹈是对抗负面情绪的好方式；②-⑤分述舞蹈的益处（产生内啡肽、结合音乐运动的效果、社交联结、专注当下）；⑥引用专家观点补充说明。因此结构为①/②③④⑤/⑥。 Passage 2 The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala was broadcast around the world on Chinese New Year’s Eve. One wonderful cultural show was called Ode to the Flower Gods (贺花神). It got its idea from the White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants (白玉十二生肖挂件) in the Palace Museum. The show beautifully mixes twelve months, twelve flowers, and twelve famous historical figures into one poetic program. It shows the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and tells us how flowers can stand for great qualities and valuable ideas. The show is special because each flower is matched with a person who has a similar spirit. Among them are seven great writers, such as Lin Bu, Lu You, Zhou Dunyi, Xu Wei, Tao Yuanming, Li Qingzhao and Bai Juyi. Their good qualities are just like the meanings of plum blossoms (梅花), apricot blossoms (杏花), lotuses (荷花), hollyhocks (蜀葵), chrysanthemums (菊花), sweet osmanthus (桂花) and camellias (山茶花). The show also includes four famous women: Xi Furen, Yang Yuhuan, Wang Zhaojun and LuoShen. They are connected with peach blossoms, peonies, cotton roses and daffodils. Zhang Qian, who brought pomegranates (石榴) to China, shows the brave spirit of the pomegranate flower. In this way, the show changes the old idea that only women can be flower gods. It fully shows the traditional Chinese idea of “finding virtues in flowers”. With the help of advanced AIGC technology, the show brings real performers and digital pictures together perfectly. On the stage, the twelve jade pendants finally form a full circle, which stands for the cycle of time and the beauty of harmony. Ode to the Flower Gods is more than a great artistic show; it helps people feel closer to their own culture through lively symbols. It keeps traditional culture alive in the digital age and shows the spirit of Chinese civilization with soft but strong cultural confidence. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．The history of flowers in Chinese culture. B．A special cultural show at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. C．Famous historical figures in Chinese history. D．The development of AIGC technology. 2．Where did the show Ode to the Flower Gods get its inspiration from? A．Ancient Chinese poems about flowers. B．Stories of great female writers. C．The White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants in the Palace Museum. D．Traditional Chinese paintings of flowers. 3．What plays a key role in the performance according to paragraph 3? A．Traditional stage settings B．Ancient jade collections C．Live audiences’ participation D．Advanced AIGC technology 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．All the flower gods in the show are female. B．The show uses AIGC technology to mix real acting and digital scenes. C．The twelve jade pendants stand for different seasons of a year. D．Zhang Qian is mentioned because he wrote many poems about flowers. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To teach people how to grow flowers. B．To introduce a way of creating digital pictures. C．To show the beauty of Chinese culture and cultural confidence. D．To tell stories of twelve famous historical people. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了2026年央视春晚中一个名为《贺花神》的文化节目，该节目融合了十二月、十二种花和十二位历史人物，借助AIGC技术展现了传统中国文化的美丽与文化自信。 【解析】1．文章首段即指出“One wonderful cultural show was called Ode to the Flower Gods (贺花神)”，并围绕该节目的灵感来源、内容特点和技术手段展开，因此本文主要介绍的是2026年春晚上的一个特别文化节目。 2．根据第一段中的“It got its idea from the White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants (白玉十二生肖挂件) in the Palace Museum”可知，《贺花神》的灵感来源于故宫博物院的白玉十二生肖挂件。 3．根据第三段中的“With the help of advanced AIGC technology, the show brings real performers and digital pictures together perfectly”可知，先进的AIGC技术在演出中起到了关键作用。 4．根据第三段首句“the show brings real performers and digital pictures together perfectly”可知，该节目利用AIGC技术将真实表演与数字画面完美融合。 5．文章最后指出该节目“keeps traditional culture alive in the digital age and shows the spirit of Chinese civilization with soft but strong cultural confidence”，结合全文对节目文化内涵的赞美，可知作者写作目的是展示中国文化的美丽与文化自信。 Passage 3 (2023·山东省济南市·二模) Mr. Black and Mr. White were two very famous artists in the city.

Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important. It is often only thought to be entertainment (娱乐), but not the first choice for education. 1 In fact, music education is much more necessary (必要的) than people usually think. 2 Music reflects the musicians’ thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from. For example, just as Mozart’s music represents (代表) a lifestyle, rock music also represents a lifestyle. George Gershwin’s music is another example. 3 Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores emotional meanings, such as sadness and happiness. People need every possible way to learn about our world. Music shows people’s thoughts. 4 We can “talk” to each other and exchange (交换) our thoughts in this amazing way. Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. All of these can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meanings that music expresses. Our children are lacking (缺乏) a wonderful part in their lives. 5 A．This opinion is wrong. B．It’s a special language. C．Music tells us who we are. D．Music makes our lives colorful. E．He introduced jazz style into his music. F．So music education is necessary for all students. G．We can’t express our opinions and emotions through music. 长难句解析 1. 原句：（第二段第二句）Music reflects the musicians' thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from. 2. 译文：音乐反映了音乐家的思想和观点，以及他们所处（来自）的社会环境。 3. 分析：主干是 Music reflects the musicians' thoughts and ideas, and the social environment。they came from 是定语从句，修饰 the social environment（省略了关系代词 that/which）。reflects 后接两个并列宾语：thoughts and ideas 和 the social environment。定语从句 they came from 中的 from 不能省略，因为 come from 是固定短语。 4. 2.原句：（第三段第九句）When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meanings that music expresses. 5. 译文：当我们不让孩子们接受良好的音乐教育时，我们就使他们远离了音乐所表达的意义。 6. 分析：When 引导时间状语从句，主句是 we take them away from the meanings。that music expresses 是定语从句，修饰 meanings。take... away from... 意为“把……从……带走/远离”。定语从句的先行词是 meanings，关系代词 that 在从句中作 expresses 的宾语。 译文 音乐有多重要？许多人通常认为听音乐不错但并不是很重要。它通常只被认为是娱乐，而不是教育的首选。 事实上，音乐教育比人们通常认为的要必要得多。 音乐反映了音乐家的思想和观点，以及他们所处的社会环境。 例如，正如莫扎特的音乐代表了一种生活方式，摇滚音乐也代表了一种生活方式。乔治·格什温的音乐是另一个例子。 他的音乐是爵士乐和古典音乐的混合体，也代表了一种新的生活方式。 音乐提供了一种以不同方式认识世界的能力。科学解释了太阳如何升起和落下。音乐探索情感意义，如悲伤和快乐。人们需要每一种可能的方式来了解我们的世界。音乐展示了人们的思想。 音乐也是一种语言，我们都能理解。我们可以用这种奇妙的方式互相“交谈”并交流思想。通过语言，我们表达我们的感受、发现、想法和希望。所有这些都可以与他人分享。当我们不让孩子们接受良好的音乐教育时，我们就使他们远离了音乐所表达的意义。我们的孩子生活中缺少了一个精彩的部分。 没有音乐，生活将会很单调。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 entertainment /ˌen.t̬ɚˈteɪn.mənt/ n. 娱乐；消遣 reflect /rɪˈflekt/ v. 反映；体现 represent /ˌrep.rɪˈzent/ v. 代表；象征 lifestyle /ˈlaɪf.staɪl/ n. 生活方式 emotional /ɪˈmoʊ.ʃən.əl/ adj. 情感的；情绪的 exchange /ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/ v./n. 交换；交流（动词/名词） amazing /əˈmeɪ.zɪŋ/ adj. 令人惊奇的；了不起的 lack /læk/ v. 缺乏；缺少 take away /teɪk əˈweɪ/ 短语 带走；使离开 PassageB (24-25九上·河北邯郸育华中学·)In traditional Chinese performing arts, there are many classic roles, like Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou. Most people usually pay little attention to Chou. However, it is a very important part in traditional Chinese operas. The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly. In the past, the Chou performer was the first one to get dressed and have his make-up done. Usually there are two kinds of Chou on the stage, Wen Chou and Wu Chou. Wen Chou often has a white patch (小块) painted around his nose and takes the roles of fisherman, boatman, servant and so on. The other kind is Wu Chou. Wu Chou performers often wear tight clothing (紧身衣) and move quickly. They are good at martial arts (武术) and can jump several meters high. They usually express themselves in loud voices and play humorous roles, for example, kind thieves. Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language, instead of singing skills. Whether they look ugly or beautiful, whether the roles they play are officials or thieves on the stage, Chou roles are all humorous characters in funny faces.

Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers. Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?” Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.” “Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.” “Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai. They finally agreed. Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” Kai was puzzled. What did she mean? “The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.” “Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?” “Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.” “Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?” “Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.” “Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question. “Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?” “I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.” That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered. Then, he had an idea... 1．In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________. A．play the drums well B．work well with others C．express personal feelings D．show the guqin’s value 2．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai. b. The classmates kept a short silence. c. Kai asked for another chance to play. d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem. e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms. A．a-e-d-c-b B．e-b-d-c-a C．e-a-b-d-c D．a-b-d-e-c 3．What lesson has Kai learned from his experience? A．Strict rules will stop our creativity in music. B．Traditional instruments should be modernized. C．Creation requires us to understand the tradition first. D．The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education. 4．What might we hear in Kai’s next show? A．Pop music in a traditional style. B．Folk music with local colour. C．Country music in a Western style. D．Rock music with drums and dizi. 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第二句）Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. 译文：  凯进行了一段古琴独奏，并且在演出的大部分时间里，他都是跟着鼓点的节奏演奏。 分析：这是一个由 and 连接的并列句。前半句是 Kai played a guqin solo，后半句是 he played along with the rhythm of the drums，其中 for most of the show 作时间状语，置于谓语动词之前。along with 意为“随着、连同”，play along with the rhythm 表示“跟着节奏演奏”。for most of the show 表示“在演出的大部分时间里”，for 接时间段。 2.原句：（第七段第三句）“But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” 译文：“但在你能打破规则之前，你必须先掌握它们。” 分析：break the rules 意为“打破规则”，master 在此作动词，意为“掌握、精通”。这句话富有哲理，是文章的核心观点之一——先继承再创新。 3.原句：（第十五段第一句）“Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value.” 译文：“古代音乐家遵循传统以表示尊重。要使它现代化，试着找到正确的方式来保留其价值。” 分析： 第一句主干是 Ancient musicians followed traditions，to show respect 是不定式作目的状语。第二句中，To modernize it 是不定式短语作目的状语，放于句首起强调作用，主干是 try to find the right way，to keep the value 是不定式作后置定语修饰 way。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 drummer /ˈdrʌm.ɚ/ n. 鼓手 drumstick /ˈdrʌm.stɪk/ n. 鼓槌 solo /ˈsoʊ.loʊ/ n. 独奏；独唱 rhythm /ˈrɪð.əm/ n. 节奏；韵律 awkward /ˈɑː.kwɚd/ adj. 尴尬的；局促不安的 murmur /ˈmɜːr.mɚ/ v. 低语；喃喃自语 modernize /ˈmɑː.dɚ.naɪz/ v. 使现代化 characteristic /ˌker.ɪk.təˈrɪs.tɪk/ n. 特征；特点 master /ˈmæs.tɚ/ v. 掌握；精通（作动词） puzzled /ˈpʌz.əld/ adj. 困惑的；迷惑的 represent /ˌrep.rɪˈzent/ v. 代表；象征 harmony /ˈhɑːr.mə.ni/ n. 和谐；融洽 philosophy /fɪˈlɑː.sə.fi/ n. 哲学；哲理 Confucius /kənˈfjuː.ʃəs/ n. 孔子（专有名词） well-rounded /ˌwel ˈraʊn.dɪd/ adj. 全面的；全方面的 inner self /ˈɪn.ɚ self/ n.短语 内在自我；内心 Passage2 (2025·江苏省苏州市) Want to know what your friends are really like? Take a look at their music playlist. More than 36,000 people, from all over the world, took part in an experiment (实验). It compared their personalities with how much they liked different musical styles. The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here’s what certain musical styles say about who you are. Rock Like the sound of loud guitars and heavy drum beats? This type of music sounds very exciting, but fans of it are often quite gentle. Country music If cowboy hats and guitars get you singing along, it’s possible that you’re hard-working, preferring traditional styles and values. Jazz Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning. If you like the saxophone of John Coltrane, then you’re probably self-confident and easy to get on with. Classical music If Beethoven and Mozart have you turning up the music, you’re probably quiet, but happy with who you are and comfortable with the world around you. But the experiment didn’t tell the whole story: where we grow up, who we often go out with, and our personal experiences play into our taste, too. The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. But no matter what style you like, music is for everyone. And enjoying different types of music lets you get a taste of cultures you might not have experienced before. So experiment with your playlist! 1．What influences our musical taste according to the experiment? A．Personalities. B．Friends. C．Parents. D．Instruments. 2．According to the passage, if Daniel is creative, what may be found in his playlist? A．Rock. B．Country music. C．Jazz. D．Classical music. 3．What may be the writer’s advice for us? A．Changing our personalities. B．Trying different types of music. C．Doing experiments with friends. D．Getting more learning experiences. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How different cultures influence you. B．What your playlist says about you. C．What songs we can choose to enjoy. D．Why there are different musical styles. 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第四句）It compared their personalities with how much they liked different musical styles. 译文：它将他们的性格与他们对不同音乐风格的喜爱程度进行了比较。 分析：主干是 It compared their personalities with...，how much they liked different musical styles 是宾语从句，作介词 with 的宾语。compare A with B 意为“把A和B进行比较”。how much 引导的宾语从句表示“多少、多大程度”，在从句中作 liked 的宾语。 2.原句：（第三段第二句）The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. 译文：你选择纳入你生活的歌曲使你与其他人不同。 分析：主语是 The songs，后面跟定语从句 you choose to be part of your life（省略了关系代词 that/which），谓语是 make，宾语是 you，different from others 是宾语补足语。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 playlist /ˈpleɪ.lɪst/ n. 播放列表；歌单 experiment /ɪkˈsper.ə.mənt/ n. 实验；试验 personality /ˌpɜːr.sənˈæl.ə.t̬i/ n. 性格；个性 influence /ˈɪn.flu.əns/ v./n. 影响（动词/名词） style /staɪl/ n. 风格；样式 gentle /ˈdʒen.t̬əl/ adj. 温和的；温柔的 self-confident /ˌselfˈkɑːn.fɪ.dənt/ adj. 自信的 come up with /kʌm ʌp wɪð/ 短语 想出；提出（主意） Passage 1 A lot of people take up dancing as an after-school hobby. In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings in recent years. When you dance, you move your body to different kinds of music, which helps your body produce a lot of endorphins (内啡肽) that can make you feel relaxed and happy. While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them gives better results. In a study, a group of scientists tested some groups of patients under three conditions: dancing with music, listening to music, riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group was the least depressed (沮丧的) . Dancing can bring people together, too. Whether it’s Tango (探戈) or any other Latin (拉丁) dance, people need to move with others. This can improve their sense of social bonding. Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that depression often has to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps people focus more on the present moment and free their mind for a while. Lauren Helper, a social worker, pointed out that if people enjoy music, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress. She also said that dancing can be done in many ways, whether it’s by moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. The important part is that it is fun. 1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．How hard it is to get endorphins. B．What kinds of music people like best. C．How exercise helps people keep healthy. D．Why dancing makes people relaxed and happy. 2．What can cheer people up most when they are sad according to Paragraph 3? A．Riding a bike. B．Taking a walk. C．Listening to a song. D．Dancing with music. 3．What does the underlined word “bonding” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Order. B．Service. C．Connection. D．Competition. 4．What can we learn from Lauren Helper’s words in the last paragraph? A．Soft music is the best for dancing. B．People can reduce stress by dancing. C．Dancing is difficult for most people. D．Young people prefer to dance with friends. 5．What is the best structure of the passage? A．①②/③/④⑤⑥ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥ C．①/②③④/⑤⑥ D．①②③④/⑤⑥ Passage 2 The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala was broadcast around the world on Chinese New Year’s Eve. One wonderful cultural show was called Ode to the Flower Gods (贺花神). It got its idea from the White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants (白玉十二生肖挂件) in the Palace Museum. The show beautifully mixes twelve months, twelve flowers, and twelve famous historical figures into one poetic program. It shows the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and tells us how flowers can stand for great qualities and valuable ideas. The show is special because each flower is matched with a person who has a similar spirit. Among them are seven great writers, such as Lin Bu, Lu You, Zhou Dunyi, Xu Wei, Tao Yuanming, Li Qingzhao and Bai Juyi. Their good qualities are just like the meanings of plum blossoms (梅花), apricot blossoms (杏花), lotuses (荷花), hollyhocks (蜀葵), chrysanthemums (菊花), sweet osmanthus (桂花) and camellias (山茶花). The show also includes four famous women: Xi Furen, Yang Yuhuan, Wang Zhaojun and LuoShen. They are connected with peach blossoms, peonies, cotton roses and daffodils. Zhang Qian, who brought pomegranates (石榴) to China, shows the brave spirit of the pomegranate flower. In this way, the show changes the old idea that only women can be flower gods. It fully shows the traditional Chinese idea of “finding virtues in flowers”. With the help of advanced AIGC technology, the show brings real performers and digital pictures together perfectly. On the stage, the twelve jade pendants finally form a full circle, which stands for the cycle of time and the beauty of harmony. Ode to the Flower Gods is more than a great artistic show; it helps people feel closer to their own culture through lively symbols. It keeps traditional culture alive in the digital age and shows the spirit of Chinese civilization with soft but strong cultural confidence. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．The history of flowers in Chinese culture. B．A special cultural show at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. C．Famous historical figures in Chinese history. D．The development of AIGC technology. 2．Where did the show Ode to the Flower Gods get its inspiration from? A．Ancient Chinese poems about flowers. B．Stories of great female writers.

A．All the flower gods in the show are female. B．The show uses AIGC technology to mix real acting and digital scenes. C．The twelve jade pendants stand for different seasons of a year. D．Zhang Qian is mentioned because he wrote many poems about flowers. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To teach people how to grow flowers.
