The guitar is getting more and more popular now. 1 the guitar has even become a common hobby—you’ll often see people playing it in parks, school yards, or street performances. They get much 2 from it. But how much do you know about 3 origin (起源)?
The guitar is believed to be created 4 16th-century Spanish craftsmen, who made 5 instruments for local shows. The early guitar was smaller and simpler than today’s version (版本). It’s 6 that it spread across Europe in the 19th century, used in classical concerts and folk music. When the guitar was 7 to our country in the early 1900s, only wealthy music lovers could afford (买得起) it. Now, mass (大量的) production has made its price much 8 than before. More and more common 9 —students saving pocket money, young workers—can own one.
Today the guitar comes in types like acoustic (原声的) (for soft tunes) and electric (for rock). What’s more, our school lists it 10 an after-school activity. Many students learn to play in free time, joining guitar clubs to share skills and perform at school events.
【答案】
1.Playing 2.pleasure 3.its 4.by 5.musical 6.said 7.brought 8.lower 9.customers 10.as
【导语】本文介绍了吉他如今越来越流行,讲述了它的起源、发展、传入中国的历程以及当下的普及情况。
1.句意:弹吉他甚至已经成为一项普遍爱好,你经常能看见人们在公园、校园或者街头表演弹奏吉他。和“the guitar”搭配的动词是play,分析句子成分,空处和the guitar一起构成句子主语,用动名词形式,并且空处在句首,首字母要大写,故填Playing。
2.句意:他们从中获得许多乐趣。根据上一句“弹吉他已经成为一项普遍爱好”可知人们能从中获得乐趣;分析句子可知,空处作get的宾语,用名词形式,选please并用其名词形式pleasure“快乐、乐趣”。
3.句意:但是你对它的起源了解多少?上文介绍的是吉他成为人们的爱好以及人们从中获得乐趣,此句指的吉他的起源,为了避免重复,用“它的”指代,选it并用其形容词性物主代词形式its。
4.句意:吉他被认为由16世纪西班牙工匠创制。被动语态be created by sb.,介词by用来引出动作的执行者“由……创造”。
5.句意:人们认为吉他是由16世纪的西班牙工匠创制的,这些工匠为当地演出制作乐器。名词instruments前面需要形容词修饰,music的形容词形式为musical,musical instruments是固定短语,意为“乐器”。
6.句意:据说,它在19世纪传遍欧洲。固定句型It’s said that…意为“据说……”,动词say变为过去分词said。
7.句意:20世纪初吉他传入我国时,只有家境富裕的音乐爱好者才买得起吉他。根据下文“Now, mass production”可知如今大规模生产,推测出20世纪初吉他被带到我国,也就是传入我国,选用单词bring;又因吉他是被人带到国内,主语the guitar不能主动发出“带来”这个动作,因此使用一般过去时被动语态,空前有was,此处填bring“带来”的过去分词brought。
8.句意:现在,大规模生产使它的价格比以前更低。空前有much,此处用形容词的比较级形式;根据空后“students saving pocket money, young workers—can own one”学生和工人能拥有一个吉他,可知价钱比以前更低了,选low,用其比较级形式lower。
9.句意:越来越多普通消费者——攒零花钱的学生、青年上班族——都能拥有一把吉他。根据空后“students saving pocket money, young workers—can own one”可推知学生和工人都是顾客,选customer“顾客”,空前有“more and more”,此处用名词的复数形式customers。
10.句意:此外,我们学校把它列为一项课外活动。固定搭配list…as…意为“把……列为……” 介词as的含义为“作为、当作”。
一、完形填空
(25-26九年级下·广东广州·阶段检测)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。
Although 4-year-old George Denney is armless, he isn’t letting that stop him from pursuing (追求) his dreams and sharing his passion with the world.
Born without 1 , the young boy’s birth parents left him. Luckily, a warm-hearted couple took him home and 2 him. However, his new parents never 3 him to use his disability as an excuse to be 4 . When George was eight, they asked him to sign up for cello (大提琴) lessons. The instrument is 5 even for people who have the use of both their hands, so it was far more challenging for George, who had to learn to play it with his feet.
Thanks to his music teacher, the young boy was not only interested in the cello, but also realized that he had a passion and talent for 6 . During middle school years, he also 7 the piano and the guitar. His music talent caught the eye of an American rock band who 8 him to perform alongside them at a ten-day-long music festival.
The 9 has encouraged this shy boy to pursue a career in music. He has also become a motivational speaker who encourages both able and disabled people to pursue their dreams, no matter how 10 these dreams may sound.

8.A.warned B.ordered C.trained D.invited
9.A.experience B.scene C.story D.accident
10.A.amazing B.terrible C.impossible D.interesting
【答案】
1.C 2.A 3.D 4.A 5.B 6.C 7.B 8.D 9.A 10.C
【导语】本文讲述了一个无臂男孩George被收养后,在父母的鼓励下克服残疾学习音乐,最终实现梦想并激励他人的励志故事。
1.句意:那个男孩生来没有手臂,他的父母抛弃了他。
根据上文“Although 4-year-old George Denney is armless”可知,他没有手臂。故选arms表示“手臂”,符合语境。
2.句意:一对热心夫妇把他带回家并照顾他。
根据“took him home”可知,收养后应该是照顾,固定搭配looked after表示“照顾”,符合收养语境。
3.句意:然而,新父母从不允许他以残疾作为懒惰的借口。
根据下文“When George was eight, they asked him to sign up for cello lessons.”可知,父母让他学习大提琴,推测此处是说不允许他以残疾为借口,allow sb. to do sth.表示“允许某人做某事”,故选allowed,符合语境。
4.句意:然而,新父母从不允许他以残疾作为懒惰的借口。
根据下文“When George was eight, they asked him to sign up for cello lessons.”可知,父母让他学习大提琴,推测此处是说不允许他以残疾为借口,残疾不应成为“懒惰”的理由,故选lazy,符合克服困难的语境。
5.句意:即使对有双手的人来说,这种乐器也很难,所以对于乔治这样不得不用双脚演奏它的人来说更具挑战。
根据后文“so it was far more challenging for George”可知,此处指演奏这种乐器很困难,故选difficult表示“困难的”,符合语境。
6.句意:感谢他的音乐老师,这个年轻男孩不止对大提琴感兴趣,也意识到他对音乐有热情和天赋。
根据上文“Thanks to his music teacher, the young boy was not only interested in the cello”可知,音乐老师是教他学音乐的,大提琴属于乐器,均与音乐相关,故此处应选music表示“音乐”,符合语境。
7.句意:在中学期间,他也学了钢琴和吉他。
根据上文“When George was eight, they asked him to sign up for cello lessons.”可知,他之前学习大提琴,中学期间他还是学生,故此处是说他也学习了其他乐器。learnt表示“学习”,符合前后文逻辑。
8.句意:他的音乐天赋吸引了一支美国摇滚乐队邀请他一起参加为期十天的音乐节演出。
根据上文“His music talent caught the eye of an American rock band”和下文“to perform alongside them at a ten-day-long music festival.”可知,乐队发现他的天赋和才能后通常是邀请演出,invited表示“邀请”符合语境。
9.句意:这段经历鼓励了这个害羞的男孩追求音乐事业。
根据前文所述,一直在讲他的经历,故此处指代前文学习音乐及演出的全过程,故选experience表示“经历”,符合语境。
10.句意:他也成为一个鼓励健全人和残疾人都去追求自己梦想的励志演说家,无论这些梦想听起来多么不可能。
根据上文“encourages both able and disabled people to pursue their dreams,”和“no matter”可知,激励人们追求看似不可能实现的梦想,故选impossible,表示“不可能的”,符合语境。
二、阅读理解。
(25-26九年级上·河北石家庄·阶段检测)When we watch sports games, we often notice sportsmen wearing earphones before the game. They keep their eyes shut, and nod along with the music. It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the game. But is there any science behind such practices?
According to new research, it turns out there is. Music makes us feel powerful, but not all songs have the same effect (效果) .
The research was led by an American researcher named Dennis. His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types. The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs, for example, Queen’s We Will Rock You. Researchers also found that high-power music made people want to take control in social events and come first in competitions.
Great sportsmen know this idea well. NBA player Kobe Bryant, for example, often puts on big headphones and even falls into deep thought to improve his game and have fewer worries.
Why does music have magical power? Dennis’s team explained: when people hear music that expresses a sense of power, they mimic (模拟) these feelings in their mind.
When we select music, we also need to look at the type of music, according to researchers. In the research by the Music in Exercise and Sport Group at Brunel University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower tasks. If you’re warming up or cooling down after exercises, pop songs are the correct choice. Dance music was found to be best suitable for strength and weight training.
1.What does the writer mainly want to do in the first paragraph?
A.Tell people music can help them win. B.Explain why music is important before games.
C.Describe sportsmen’s habits before the game starts. D.Get readers to think if music is important in sports.
2.Which of the following might Dennis agree with?
A.Powerful music makes the game interesting. B.People feel powerful after listening to some songs.
C.The result of a game is mainly influenced by music. D.Sportsmen can win the game after listening to music.
3.What does the underlined word “select” probably mean?
A.Choose. B.Create. C.Control. D.Explain.
4.How does the writer make his point clear?
A.By using English sayings. B.By giving examples.
C.By giving common rules. D.By comparing the research.
5.What is the best title for the text?
A.Influence of Music in Sports B.Different Kinds of Music
C.Coming First in Competitions D.Some Meaningful Research
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.B 5.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了音乐如何影响运动员的感觉(如感到充满力量)、不同运动任务如何选择音乐等内容,核心主题是音乐在体育运动中的影响。
1.第一段提到“When we watch sports games, we often notice sportsmen wearing earphones before the game. They keep their eyes shut, and nod along with the music. It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the game. But is there any science behind such practices?”,主要是描述运动员赛前戴耳机听音乐的现象,为下文做铺垫。
2.第三段中Dennis团队的研究结果“The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs”,听众在听了一些歌曲后感到充满力量。选项B“听完某些歌曲后,人们会感到充满力量。”与此意相符。
3.画线词所在句提到“When we select music, we also need to look at the type of music”及下文提到的不同任务选择不同音乐(pop for slower tasks, Dance for strength),此处指当我们“选择”音乐时。select意为“选择”,与选项A“Choose”(选择)同义。
4.通读全文可知,作者通过列举Queen的歌曲、NBA球员科比·布莱恩特的习惯以及伦敦布鲁内尔大学的研究等具体例子,来阐明音乐对运动影响的观点。
5.本文主要介绍了音乐如何影响运动员的感觉(如感到充满力量)、不同运动任务如何选择音乐等内容,核心主题是音乐在体育运动中的影响,选项A“音乐在体育运动中的影响”符合。
(2026·四川成都·中考真题)I couldn’t have a happy summer holiday anymore! No sleeping in. No games. No Internet. My parents gave me a big speech. And then they sent me to a classical music camp. Help!
The first day was scary. A boy asked about my favorite composer (作曲家). Composer? I didn’t know any. Everyone played classical music, but I played electronic music from my computer. It was an electronic remix (a mix of different songs) I made. Nobody said anything. The teacher, John, said it was good, but I wasn’t sure.
The next week was worse. I tried every instrument. The violin sounded like a crying cat. The tuba made no sound. The kids laughed at me. I didn’t think I’d survive.
But something changed. John played a piece of music for me. It was amazing. “Beethoven (贝多芬),” he said. He suggested doing a remix of a classical Beethoven piece and presenting it to the other kids. I accepted the challenge.
When I played my remix, I was nervous. What if the kids said that boy wasn’t playing “real music”? What a surprise! They liked it.
With their help, I chose another Beethoven piece. We decided to remix it together. During the following two weeks, we practiced every day. How crazy! One kid even gave me a piano lesson.
On the last day, we performed for the parents. I started the remix. The other kids joined in. When we finished, everyone cheered. Dad was smiling. Mom was crying. Beethoven and electronic music were a great match!
1.Which is closest in meaning to “a big speech” in Paragraph 1?
A.A daily dialogue. B.A serious talk. C.An interesting conversation.
2.Why did the writer feel the first day was scary?
A.The kids refused to talk with him.
B.Everyone had their favorite music.
C.He felt he was different from others.
3.Which word best describes the teacher?
A.Kind. B.Polite. C.Hard-working.
4.What made the kids accept the writer at last?
A.The parents’ effort. B.The common love for music. C.The respect for each other.
5.What can be a suitable title for this text?
A.No music, no fun B.Beauty in classical music C.When Beethoven meets a remix
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.B 5.C
【导语】本文讲述了“我”被父母送去古典音乐营,从一开始格格不入,到在老师的帮助下,将电子混音与贝多芬的音乐结合,最终被大家接纳并收获友谊的故事。
1.原文第一段提到“My parents gave me a big speech. And then they sent me to a classical music camp.”,结合前文“我”失去假期娱乐(No sleeping in. No games. No Internet.)的背景,父母的“big speech”是一次严肃的谈话,目的是说服“我”去音乐营。
2.原文第二段提到“Everyone played classical music, but I played electronic music from my computer. Composer? I didn’t know any.”,说明其他孩子都熟悉古典音乐,而作者只懂电子音乐,对古典作曲家一无所知,因此感到自己与他人格格不入。
3.原文第二、四段提到“The teacher, John, said it was good, but I wasn’t sure.”“He suggested doing a remix of a classical Beethoven piece and presenting it to the other kids.”,说明老师John不仅肯定了“我”的电子音乐,还主动提供建议,帮助“我”找到融入集体的方式,可见他非常友善。
4.原文第五、六段提到“When I played my remix, I was nervous...They liked it. With their help, I chose another Beethoven piece. We decided to remix it together.”,可知大家对“我”的混音作品的喜爱,以及后续一起合作做混音的经历,说明是对音乐的共同热爱让孩子们接纳了“我”。
5.原文第四、七段提到“He suggested doing a remix of a classical Beethoven piece and presenting it to the other kids.”“Beethoven and electronic music were a great match!”,可知全文核心是“我”将电子混音与贝多芬古典音乐结合并获得成功的故事,C选项“When Beethoven meets a remix”最能概括文章主题。

(25-26九年级上·河北石家庄·阶段检测)When we watch sports games, we often notice sportsmen wearing earphones before the game. They keep their eyes shut, and nod along with the music. It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the game. But is there any science behind such practices?
According to new research, it turns out there is. Music makes us feel powerful, but not all songs have the same effect (效果) .
The research was led by an American researcher named Dennis. His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types. The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs, for example, Queen’s We Will Rock You. Researchers also found that high-power music made people want to take control in social events and come first in competitions.
Great sportsmen know this idea well. NBA player Kobe Bryant, for example, often puts on big headphones and even falls into deep thought to improve his game and have fewer worries.
Why does music have magical power? Dennis’s team explained: when people hear music that expresses a sense of power, they mimic (模拟) these feelings in their mind.
When we select music, we also need to look at the type of music, according to researchers. In the research by the Music in Exercise and Sport Group at Brunel University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower tasks. If you’re warming up or cooling down after exercises, pop songs are the correct choice. Dance music was found to be best suitable for strength and weight training.

(2026·四川成都·中考真题)I couldn’t have a happy summer holiday anymore! No sleeping in. No games. No Internet. My parents gave me a big speech. And then they sent me to a classical music camp. Help!
The first day was scary. A boy asked about my favorite composer (作曲家). Composer? I didn’t know any. Everyone played classical music, but I played electronic music from my computer. It was an electronic remix (a mix of different songs) I made. Nobody said anything. The teacher, John, said it was good, but I wasn’t sure.
The next week was worse. I tried every instrument. The violin sounded like a crying cat. The tuba made no sound. The kids laughed at me. I didn’t think I’d survive.
But something changed. John played a piece of music for me. It was amazing. “Beethoven (贝多芬),” he said. He suggested doing a remix of a classical Beethoven piece and presenting it to the other kids. I accepted the challenge.
When I played my remix, I was nervous. What if the kids said that boy wasn’t playing “real music”? What a surprise! They liked it.
With their help, I chose another Beethoven piece. We decided to remix it together. During the following two weeks, we practiced every day. How crazy! One kid even gave me a piano lesson.
On the last day, we performed for the parents. I started the remix. The other kids joined in. When we finished, everyone cheered. Dad was smiling. Mom was crying. Beethoven and electronic music were a great match!
