Their voices rose like a single breath, pure and strong. When music faded, audience stood and cheered. Backstage, I just couldn’t believe we’d come this far. They now call us the “Little River Flows” — a children’s choir that carries the voice of a thousand hills. I am Wang Xiaoxi, a village music teacher in Midu, Yunnan. My story with the children began here, the “hometown of folk songs (民歌),” where melodies had long been whispered but hardly heard in harmony. Yet things ran opposite to my drive to develop young talents. Local families had no idea what a choir was, thus hesitant to let their kids join. Some children came one week and disappeared the next. Those who stayed failed to read sheet music, not even simple notes. I spent countless hours starting from scratch. An unexpected hand came when Jin Zixuan, a conductor from Peking University, decided to step in. He traveled from Beijing to Midu every single month, finding each kid’s vocal range, teaching them breathing skills and organising singing practice. The on-the-spot guidance he offered was my defence against the pressure. “When you love what you do, the hard parts feel meaningful,” he said. Night after night after my baby slept, I filled pages with rehearsal (彩排) plans — pages that Jin would later mark up in red, not knowing they would one day travel with us all the way to concert halls and award ceremonies in Sichuan, Beijing and Hong Kong. It always touches my heart when I realize the choir has transformed everything. For many, what started as a passing curiosity has turned into a lasting passion. Children who once wanted to drop out now dare to dream big. They’ve found friendship, joy and, most importantly, their own voice. And beneath it all, our old folk songs are now sung again by the young. That, to me, is the clear picture: the river flows both ways. 1．What is the function of paragraph 1? A．To illustrate a popular musical style. B．To show disbelief in a choir’s progress. C．To describe a wonderful performance. D．To introduce a choir of great success. 2．What does “starting from scratch” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Making strict class schedules. B．Teaching basic knowledge. C．Writing simple songs on paper. D．Encouraging more kids to join. 3．What was Jin’s biggest support for the author? A．He shared her teaching duties. B．He strengthened her confidence. C．He revised her rehearsal plans. D．He showed her broader stages. 4．What can be inferred from the author’s clear picture? A．The river will carry the choir’s songs to distant villages. B．The stories of the choir will spread both at home and abroad. C．Local music heritage can be preserved with children’s growth. D．Music education can continue to positively impact children’s life. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】主要讲述云南乡村音乐老师组建乡村儿童合唱团，克服重重困难坚持教学，传承本土民歌、助力孩子成长的暖心故事。 【解析】1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Their voices rose like a single breath, pure and strong. When music faded, audience stood and cheered.(他们的歌声如同一股气息般响起，纯净而有力。音乐落幕时，观众起立欢呼。)”可知，文章首段描绘了合唱团精彩的演出场面，以此引出这支收获成功与认可的儿童合唱团。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Those who stayed failed to read sheet music, not even simple notes. I spent countless hours starting from scratch.(留下来的孩子不会识谱，甚至连简单的音符都不认识。我花费了无数时间starting from scratch。)”可知，孩子们毫无音乐基础，作者只能从零起步，教授孩子们音乐基础知识。因此该短语表示“教授基础知识点”。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The on-the-spot guidance he offered was my defence against the pressure. “When you love what you do, the hard parts feel meaningful,” he said.(他提供的现场指导是我抵御压力的支撑。他说：“当你热爱所做的事，艰难的部分也会变得有意义。”)”可知，金子轩的指导与鼓励缓解了作者的压力，极大增强了作者坚持下去的信心。 4．推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Children who once wanted to drop out now dare to dream big. They’ve found friendship, joy and, most importantly, their own voice. And beneath it all, our old folk songs are now sung again by the young.(曾经想要退出的孩子们如今敢于拥有远大梦想。他们收获了友谊、快乐，最重要的是，找到了属于自己的声音。在这一切之下，我们古老的民歌如今再次被年轻人传唱。)”可知，儿童的成长让本土传统民歌得以重新传承、保存，由此可推知借助孩子的成长能够延续本土音乐文化遗产。 3.Music is often treated as background noise. It plays in cafes, stores, and headphones throughout the day. However, our brains do not simply ignore it. Research shows that music is processed by areas of the brain related to attention, memory, and emotion. As a result, even when we are not focusing on music, it can influence how we think and feel. 1 The effect of music depends largely on how we listen to it. 2 Active listening means paying close attention to the sound pattern and lyrics (歌词) of a song. This type of listening can help people relax, reduce stress, and get focus back. In contrast, purposeful passive listening means choosing music to support a task without concentrating on the music itself. Soft instrumental music, for example, may create a mental environment that encourages creativity and reflection. When used regularly, music can become a useful mental habit. Think about a song that makes you feel energetic or focused. Instead of listening to it only for fun, use it before a specific task. For example, you might play the same song before studying, giving a presentation, or exercising. Over time, your brain connects the music with that activity. 3 As a result, the song becomes a signal that helps you get into the right state more quickly. The more often you make this connection, the stronger its effect can be. 4 In this way, music can influence the way we feel, think, and respond to different situations. When used with purpose, music can help us focus better, recover from stress, become more creative, or connect with others. In a noisy world, we are not expected to stop the music completely. 5 We should use it wisely by understanding when to listen and how to listen. A．There are two main ways of listening. B．Music is never just background noise. C．We enjoy all kinds of music every day. D．The connection gradually becomes stronger. E．This repeated connection shapes brain activity. F．Instead, we should learn to make better use of it. G．Active listening is about being fully focused on the music. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．E 5．F 【导语】文章主要介绍聆听音乐的不同方式以及如何有目的地利用音乐调节自身状态。 【解析】1．由上文“Music is often treated as background noise. It plays in cafes, stores, and headphones throughout the day. However, our brains do not simply ignore it. Research shows that music is processed by areas of the brain related to attention, memory, and emotion. As a result, even when we are not focusing on music, it can influence how we think and feel.(音乐常被当作背景噪音，整日在咖啡馆、商铺里播放，也在耳机中回荡。但我们的大脑并不会简单地忽略它。研究表明，音乐由大脑中负责注意力、记忆和情绪的区域处理。因此，即便我们没有专注于音乐，它也能影响我们的思考与感受。)”可知，上文指出音乐并非单纯的背景噪音，而是会对我们产生影响。本空应总结重申这一观点，强调音乐不仅仅是背景噪音。B选项“音乐绝不仅仅是背景噪音。”能承接上文，符合语境。 2．由下文“Active listening means paying close attention to the sound pattern and lyrics (歌词) of a song.(主动聆听意味着密切关注歌曲的声音模式和歌词。)”及“In contrast, purposeful passive listening means choosing music to support a task without concentrating on the music itself.(相比之下，有目的的被动聆听是指选择音乐来支持某项任务，而不专注于音乐本身。)”可知，下文介绍了两种聆听方式：主动聆听和被动聆听。本空应总起引出这两种方式。A选项“有两种主要的聆听方式。”能引出下文的具体分类，符合语境。 3．由上文“Over time, your brain connects the music with that activity.(随着时间的推移，你的大脑会将音乐与那个活动联系起来。)”及下文“As a result, the song becomes a signal that helps you get into the right state more quickly.(因此，这首歌成为一个信号，帮助你更快地进入正确的状态。)”可知，上文提到大脑建立了联系，下文讲这种联系的结果。此处讲述大脑建立关联后的变化。D选项“这种联系逐渐变得更强。”能承上启下，符合语境。 4．由上文“The more often you make this connection, the stronger its effect can be.(你越频繁地建立这种联系，它的效果就越强。)”及下文“In this way, music can influence the way we feel, think, and respond to different situations.(通过这种方式，音乐可以影响我们感受、思考和应对不同情境的方式。)”可知，上文讲了反复建立联系的效果，下文总结了音乐对人的整体影响。空格总结不断建立联系带来的大脑层面的变化。E选项“这种重复的联系塑造了大脑活动。”能承上启下，符合语境。 5．由上文“In a noisy world, we are not expected to stop the music completely.(在一个嘈杂的世界里，我们不可能完全停止音乐。)”及下文“We should use it wisely by understanding when to listen and how to listen. (我们应该通过理解何时听以及如何听来明智地使用它。)”可知，上文说不能完全停止音乐，下文说要明智地使用它。本空应转折说明我们应该学会更好地利用音乐。F选项“相反，我们应该学会更好地利用它。”能承上启下，符合语境。 2、 完形填空 A surprising new hobby taught me there’s more than one way to be flexible. By my early 40s, I had 1 all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken a drama class, started learning a new language and 2 myself into a craft, but all the efforts were 19 . And then, at the 4 of my desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class. “But you’re not very 5 ,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. I nearly 6 myself the one time I tried to lift my leg in an attempt to stretch. But I was determined to give it a try. I needed to 7 that my body was capable of movement and grace. In the first ballet class, my teacher told me that ballet wasn’t about being 8 . I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. After all, this wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. 9 this time around, the exact same things that had made me flee as a 10-year-old now brought a certain 10 . Whenever I felt bad for my lack of grace, my teacher never failed to remind me that ballet wasn’t about perfection, but about 11 for perfection.

Many audience members said they 5 (impress) by the powerful, flowing sound of dozens of instruments playing together. “The beauty of the traditional guzheng does not lie in the fixed notes 6 (they), but in the space between them,” said Han Mei, a professor of music. The left-hand techniques change sound from separate points into a continuous process. That is 7 defines the guzheng basically.

When music faded, audience stood and cheered. Backstage, I just couldn’t believe we’d come this far. They now call us the “Little River Flows” — a children’s choir that carries the voice of a thousand hills. I am Wang Xiaoxi, a village music teacher in Midu, Yunnan. My story with the children began here, the “hometown of folk songs (民歌),” where melodies had long been whispered but hardly heard in harmony. Yet things ran opposite to my drive to develop young talents. Local families had no idea what a choir was, thus hesitant to let their kids join. Some children came one week and disappeared the next. Those who stayed failed to read sheet music, not even simple notes. I spent countless hours starting from scratch. An unexpected hand came when Jin Zixuan, a conductor from Peking University, decided to step in. He traveled from Beijing to Midu every single month, finding each kid’s vocal range, teaching them breathing skills and organising singing practice. The on-the-spot guidance he offered was my defence against the pressure. “When you love what you do, the hard parts feel meaningful,” he said. Night after night after my baby slept, I filled pages with rehearsal (彩排) plans — pages that Jin would later mark up in red, not knowing they would one day travel with us all the way to concert halls and award ceremonies in Sichuan, Beijing and Hong Kong. It always touches my heart when I realize the choir has transformed everything. For many, what started as a passing curiosity has turned into a lasting passion. Children who once wanted to drop out now dare to dream big. They’ve found friendship, joy and, most importantly, their own voice. And beneath it all, our old folk songs are now sung again by the young. That, to me, is the clear picture: the river flows both ways. 1．What is the function of paragraph 1?

D．Encouraging more kids to join. 3．What was Jin’s biggest support for the author? A．He shared her teaching duties. B．He strengthened her confidence. C．He revised her rehearsal plans. D．He showed her broader stages. 4．What can be inferred from the author’s clear picture? A．The river will carry the choir’s songs to distant villages. B．The stories of the choir will spread both at home and abroad. C．Local music heritage can be preserved with children’s growth. D．Music education can continue to positively impact children’s life. 3.Music is often treated as background noise. It plays in cafes, stores, and headphones throughout the day. However, our brains do not simply ignore it. Research shows that music is processed by areas of the brain related to attention, memory, and emotion. As a result, even when we are not focusing on music, it can influence how we think and feel. 1 The effect of music depends largely on how we listen to it. 2 Active listening means paying close attention to the sound pattern and lyrics (歌词) of a song. This type of listening can help people relax, reduce stress, and get focus back. In contrast, purposeful passive listening means choosing music to support a task without concentrating on the music itself. Soft instrumental music, for example, may create a mental environment that encourages creativity and reflection. When used regularly, music can become a useful mental habit. Think about a song that makes you feel energetic or focused. Instead of listening to it only for fun, use it before a specific task. For example, you might play the same song before studying, giving a presentation, or exercising. Over time, your brain connects the music with that activity. 3 As a result, the song becomes a signal that helps you get into the right state more quickly. The more often you make this connection, the stronger its effect can be. 4 In this way, music can influence the way we feel, think, and respond to different situations. When used with purpose, music can help us focus better, recover from stress, become more creative, or connect with others. In a noisy world, we are not expected to stop the music completely. 5 We should use it wisely by understanding when to listen and how to listen. A．There are two main ways of listening. B．Music is never just background noise. C．We enjoy all kinds of music every day. D．The connection gradually becomes stronger. E．This repeated connection shapes brain activity. F．Instead, we should learn to make better use of it. G．Active listening is about being fully focused on the music. 2、 完形填空 A surprising new hobby taught me there’s more than one way to be flexible. By my early 40s, I had 1 all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken a drama class, started learning a new language and 2 myself into a craft, but all the efforts were 19 . And then, at the 4 of my desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class. “But you’re not very 5 ,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. I nearly 6 myself the one time I tried to lift my leg in an attempt to stretch. But I was determined to give it a try. I needed to 7 that my body was capable of movement and grace. In the first ballet class, my teacher told me that ballet wasn’t about being 8 . I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. After all, this wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. 9 this time around, the exact same things that had made me flee as a 10-year-old now brought a certain 10 . Whenever I felt bad for my lack of grace, my teacher never failed to remind me that ballet wasn’t about perfection, but about 11 for perfection. Slowly, I started becoming 12 more comfortable with the body. My posture still needs refining but the idea that my body is still a work in 13 encourages me. Instead of noticing only the beginnings of older age falling on me, I’m amazed at what my body is capable of as I stand with more 14 and courage. Now when I do my ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always 15 me and remind me of everything that is possible. 1．A．exhausted B．avoided C．wasted D．missed 2．A．thrown B．taken C．tricked D．broken 3．A．in order B．in secret C．in store D．in vain 4．A．bottom B．height C．end D．start 5．A．patient B．strong C．flexible D．careful 6．A．injured B．depressed C．controlled D．balanced 7．A．assume B．confirm C．resolve D．expect 8．A．honest B．patient C．perfect D．brave 9．A．Or B．So C．And D．But 10．A．joy B．regret C．fantasy D．shame 11．A．asking B．seeking C．waiting D．longing 12．A．nearly B．greatly C．gradually D．totally 13．A．conflict B．deadlock C．demand D．progress 14．A．patience B．confidence C．intelligence D．independence 15．A．trouble B．instruct C．capture D．challenge 3、 语法填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The guzheng is one of China’s most recognizable traditional instruments.

The growing presence of the guzheng reflects both cultural continuity and current value. Musicians explore new techniques while 8 (maintain) its traditional character. Western composers 9 (influence) by this smooth approach to sound have created new works for electronic and acoustic (原声的) instruments. “The emotion behind the guzheng is universal, 10 sincere emotion matters far more than technical skill”, a guzheng professor said. 四、书面表达 假定你是李华，你的英国留学生朋友Peter因不熟悉交通，对是否观看下周六的露天音乐会（open-air concert）感到犹豫。请你给他写一封信，内容包括： 1.观看理由； 2.解决方案。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 27 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
