Whenever my parents played a symphony on the radio, I would 11 my phone and listen to pop songs with my earphones. To me, classical music sounded boring and 12 . This all changed last month 13 our music teacher took us to a special concert. It was not in a grand hall, 14 in the school hall, and it was specially prepared for teenagers. The conductor gave short introductions before each piece, and a narrator told the stories behind the music. The first piece was a fast and energetic movement, which made me tap my feet 15 the beat. Then came a slow, gentle piece played on the piano. As the soft melody 16 the hall, I found myself thinking of my grandmother, who used to sing lullabies to me when I was little. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I had never 17 that music could reach a place so deep inside my heart. After the concert, our teacher asked us to share our feelings. Most of my classmates said they had 18 been so moved by classical music. Our teacher smiled and said, “That’s the 19 of music. It speaks to everyone, no matter how old or young you are. You just need to give it a 20 .” Since then, I have 21 out several classical playlists online. At first, I only listened when I was doing homework, 22 the soft background would help me focus. Gradually, I found that certain pieces could 23 my mood when I was stressed or tired. I even started watching documentaries about great composers like Mozart and Beethoven. Now I know that music is not a one-size-fits-all 24 . Whether it is classical, jazz, or folk, what matters is whether it touches your heart. When you 25 a piece truly speaks to you, that connection is priceless. Music really does speak a language we can all understand. 11．A．put on B．take out C．look for D．give up 12．A．lively B．personal C．distant D．natural 13．A．until B．when C．because D．although 14．A．so B．and C．for D．but 15．A．on B．at C．to D．in 16．A．covered B．filled C．reached D．entered 17．A．imagined B．decided C．regretted D．forgotten 18．A．nearly B．almost C．never D．just 19．A．form B．beauty C．style D．power 20．A．chance B．voice C．hand D．gift 21．A．sold B．searched C．checked D．thrown 22．A．hoping B．realizing C．remembering D．noticing 23．A．hide B．fail C．lift D．miss 24．A．decision B．conclusion C．impression D．experience 25．A．find B．report C．remind D．force 三、阅读理解。(本大题共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) A   Vote (投票): Is it OK for AI to make music?AI music AI is a computer system that can learn like humans.

B In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music—from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it’s both of these things, but it’s also something else: they’re elephants. These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint. Richard Lair works with the TECC． He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone. The animals also use their voices and trunks to make sounds. But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don’t just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music, which make money for the TECC． And the music these artists create is pretty amazing. 29．How do the elephants in the orchestra make sounds? ①With their trunks.    ②By singing.    ③By painting.    ④Using instruments. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 30．What can we know about Richard Lair’s personality from the passage? A．Creative and caring. B．Humorous and outgoing. C．Strict and hardworking. D．Shy and quiet. 31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Smart Elephants in a Zoo B．Richard Lair and the TECC C．The Unusual Elephant Musicians D．Traditional Thai Music C Do you like music? Have you ever listened to upbeat music—often music that is happy or energetic—to cheer yourself up? Research has shown that music can have an effect on our mind. So, what is the science behind music? Researchers found that if people listen to upbeat music while trying to feel happier at the same time, they report feeling better. However, if people just listen to the music but don’t actively try to feel happier, they can’t feel better. And listening to slower, more serious music doesn’t help them feel any happier either. And there’s more. Researchers also found that listening to some classical music helps your brain focus and deal with information better. This is very useful when you’re studying. And many people report that simple and soft music can also help their brain stay focused. Why? The brain has two kinds of attention. One is conscious attention (有意注意) and the other is unconscious attention. While the conscious attention may be focused on work, the unconscious attention may have nothing to do, only looking for fun. Having music on in the background gives the unconscious attention something to focus on, which improves overall concentration (专注力). The power of music doesn’t stop there. If you have trouble falling asleep from time to time, music can also help. Research shows that the best music for this purpose has about sixty beats per minute—almost the same as a healthy, resting heart. Classical music is often around this speed. Any music that is soft and does not have sudden loud parts may be effective. People who have serious sleep problems may need to listen to this kind of music for several nights before they see results. 32．When can upbeat music help us feel happier according to paragraph 2? A．If we are also trying to feel happier. B．If we listen to upbeat music every day. C．If we mix upbeat music with serious music. D．If we are listening to slow music at the same time. 33．Why does some background music help improve concentration? A．It brings the brain a lot of fun. B．It gets the brain to work faster. C．It makes conscious attention busier. D．It gives unconscious attention something to do. 34．How does the writer develop ideas in Paragraph 4? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By making comparisons. D．By using research findings. 35．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Why music cheers us up B．How music helps us learn C．How music influences our mind D．Why music improves our memory D The Language of Music Music is called the universal language. It crosses cultures, brings people together, and expresses emotions beyond words. Recent research shows music activates multiple brain areas, including those for emotion, memory, and motor control. That is why a song can make us happy or sad, and why it can trigger vivid memories. Learning to play an instrument is great for the brain. Musicians have better memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. Children who learn music often perform better in math and language. Music therapy helps reduce stress, anxiety, and pain. For dementia patients, it can unlock memories. For children with autism, it improves social interaction. However, music education is unequal. Poor schools often lack programs. Many organizations work to provide instruments to children who cannot afford them. The digital age has changed how we experience music, but it also raises concerns about fair pay for artists. 36．What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss? A．Music is a universal language. B．Music affects many brain areas. C．Different cultures have different music. D．Music can bring back memories. 37．Learning to play an instrument can ________. A．make students less social B．improve academic performance C．reduce sleep needs D．cause memory problems 38．What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．The history of music therapy. B．The cost of music education. C．The therapeutic uses of music. D．The different types of music. 39．What challenge does the passage mention about music education? A．Students don’t want to learn. B．Teachers are not qualified. C．Some schools cannot afford programs. D．Parents don't support it. 40．What can we infer about the future of music? A．Physical formats will disappear completely. B．Music will become less important. C．New technologies will continue to change music. D．Traditional music will be forgotten. 请阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容从下面选项内的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。 How important is music? 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. This opinion is wrong. 41 42 Music reflects (反映) 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. He introduced jazz style into his music. 43 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. It’s a special language. We can “talk” to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way. 44 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. 45 A．Music makes our lives colorful. B．So music education is necessary for all students. C．Music tells us who we are. D．In fact, music education is much more necessary than people usually think. E．Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. F．Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. G．We can’t express our opinions and emotions through music. 四、短文填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) The First Time I Played for Others When I was 12 years old, my parents asked me if I wanted to take piano lessons. I said yes immediately because I had always admired children who could play an i 46 well. After six months of lessons, I could play several short pieces. I thought I was doing q 47 well, but that feeling changed one day. My piano teacher told me that a c 48 for young learners would be held at the local music centre. She encouraged me to take part in it. At first, I was not w 49 to join. I was afraid of forgetting the notes in front of a large audience. However, my teacher said, “This is a good c 50 to improve yourself. Even if you do not win, you will learn something from the experience.” I spent the next three weeks p 51 every evening for two hours. On the day of the competition, my hands were cold and my heart was beating fast. When I was finally called to the stage, I walked slowly to the piano, sat down, and took a deep b 52 . Then I began to play. To my surprise, my fingers moved smoothly over the k 53 , just as they had at home. The hall was quiet, and I could not see anything but the piano and the music. When I finished, there was a short s 54 , and then the audience clapped warmly. I did not get first prize that day, but I learned an important lesson: the joy of music is not in winning. It is in s 55 what you have learned with others. Since then, I have never been afraid to play for an audience again. 五．选词填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 从方框中选择恰当的词或短语并用其正确形式填空 (每个词或短语限用一次)。 compose, attend, mix, flow, press, earn, download, east, gentle, talent 56．This musician soft flute songs for local concerts every year. 57．Hundreds of listeners the jazz concert last Friday evening. 58．He likes to African drum sounds with eastern string music. 59．The sweet sound of the jasmine piece through the concert hall. 60．You need to the keys lightly to get a soft sound on the keyboard. 61．Tan Dun’s amazing music ________ him lots of high praise around the world. 62．Fans his new songs to their phones to listen at home. 63．Her way of using the bow makes her performance special. 64．Many ancient cultural relics lie in the__________ part of our country, and more teenagers hope to learn about the history there.. 65．Her natural for music was noticed when she was a little girl. 六、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，用英语简要回答下列问题。（每题答案不超过6个词） The guzheng is one of the most amazing traditional Chinese musical instruments.

A.join; attend B.take part in; join in C.attend; take part in D.attend; join 【答案】C 【详解】句意：—— 辛迪，请你代替我出席会议好吗？—— 我很乐意，但是我有一项课外活动要参加。 attend 表示 “出席、参加”，后接会议、讲座、婚礼等；take part in 表示 “参加（活动、比赛等）”，侧重参与某项集体活动；join 多指 “加入某个团体、组织，成为其中一员”；join in 多指参加小型的游戏、活动。第一空后面是 the meeting 会议，用 attend；第二空后面是 afterschool activity 课外活动，用 take part in。结合选项，故选 C。 9．This old song ________ me ________ my childhood days in the countryside. A．reminds; that B．remembers; of C．reminds; of D．thinks; of 【答案】C 【详解】句意：这首老歌使我想起了我在乡下的童年时光。 固定搭配：remind sb. of sth.表示“使某人想起某事”，主语可以是物。remember和think的主语通常是人。reminds; that：that后要接完整句子。应填reminds; of。 10．—Lucy is a straight-A student. She often gets the best grades in our class. —________. I think she is the most hard-working student in our class.

They play many different kinds of music—from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it’s both of these things, but it’s also something else: they’re elephants. These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint. Richard Lair works with the TECC． He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone. The animals also use their voices and trunks to make sounds. But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don’t just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music, which make money for the TECC． And the music these artists create is pretty amazing. 29．How do the elephants in the orchestra make sounds? ①With their trunks.    ②By singing.    ③By painting.    ④Using instruments. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 30．What can we know about Richard Lair’s personality from the passage? A．Creative and caring. B．Humorous and outgoing. C．Strict and hardworking. D．Shy and quiet. 31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Smart Elephants in a Zoo B．Richard Lair and the TECC C．The Unusual Elephant Musicians D．Traditional Thai Music 【答案】29．B 30．A 31．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一群特殊的大象音乐家，它们能演奏乐器并创作音乐。 【详解】29．根据第三段“During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone. The animals also use their voices and trunks to make sounds.”可知，大象在表演时使用乐器、嗓音和鼻子发出声音。 30．第三段Richard Lair萌生“大象可以演奏音乐”的想法，这体现了他的创造性；他在大象保护中心工作，致力于保护大象并通过音乐收益支持中心，这体现了他对动物的关爱。 31．通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一群特殊的大象音乐家，它们能演奏乐器并创作音乐，选项C“不同寻常的大象音乐家”最能概括文章主题，适合作为文章标题。 C Do you like music? Have you ever listened to upbeat music—often music that is happy or energetic—to cheer yourself up? Research has shown that music can have an effect on our mind. So, what is the science behind music? Researchers found that if people listen to upbeat music while trying to feel happier at the same time, they report feeling better. However, if people just listen to the music but don’t actively try to feel happier, they can’t feel better. And listening to slower, more serious music doesn’t help them feel any happier either. And there’s more. Researchers also found that listening to some classical music helps your brain focus and deal with information better. This is very useful when you’re studying. And many people report that simple and soft music can also help their brain stay focused. Why? The brain has two kinds of attention. One is conscious attention (有意注意) and the other is unconscious attention. While the conscious attention may be focused on work, the unconscious attention may have nothing to do, only looking for fun. Having music on in the background gives the unconscious attention something to focus on, which improves overall concentration (专注力). The power of music doesn’t stop there. If you have trouble falling asleep from time to time, music can also help. Research shows that the best music for this purpose has about sixty beats per minute—almost the same as a healthy, resting heart. Classical music is often around this speed. Any music that is soft and does not have sudden loud parts may be effective. People who have serious sleep problems may need to listen to this kind of music for several nights before they see results. 32．When can upbeat music help us feel happier according to paragraph 2? A．If we are also trying to feel happier. B．If we listen to upbeat music every day. C．If we mix upbeat music with serious music. D．If we are listening to slow music at the same time. 33．Why does some background music help improve concentration? A．It brings the brain a lot of fun. B．It gets the brain to work faster. C．It makes conscious attention busier. D．It gives unconscious attention something to do. 34．How does the writer develop ideas in Paragraph 4? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By making comparisons. D．By using research findings. 35．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Why music cheers us up B．How music helps us learn C．How music influences our mind D．Why music improves our memory 【答案】32．A 33．D 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了音乐对大脑和身心的影响，包括通过主动尝试感受快乐来提升情绪、通过背景音乐提高专注力以及通过特定节奏的音乐改善睡眠等科学研究发现。 【详解】32．第2段“Researchers found that if people listen to upbeat music while trying to feel happier at the same time, they report feeling better.”可推知，只有在听欢快音乐的同时也尝试让自己更快乐，人们才会感觉更好。 33．第3段“Having music on in the background gives the unconscious attention something to focus on, which improves overall concentration.”可推知，背景音乐让无意识注意力有事可做，从而提高了整体专注力。 34．第4段“Research shows that the best music for this purpose has about sixty beats per minute...”可推知，作者通过引用研究结果和具体数据来阐述音乐如何帮助睡眠，属于利用研究发现展开段落观点。 35．第1段“Research has shown that music can have an effect on our mind. So, what is the science behind music?”及全文内容可推知，文章全文探讨了音乐对情绪、专注力和睡眠等多方面的影响，即音乐如何影响我们的心智。 D The Language of Music Music is called the universal language. It crosses cultures, brings people together, and expresses emotions beyond words. Recent research shows music activates multiple brain areas, including those for emotion, memory, and motor control. That is why a song can make us happy or sad, and why it can trigger vivid memories. Learning to play an instrument is great for the brain. Musicians have better memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. Children who learn music often perform better in math and language. Music therapy helps reduce stress, anxiety, and pain. For dementia patients, it can unlock memories. For children with autism, it improves social interaction. However, music education is unequal. Poor schools often lack programs. Many organizations work to provide instruments to children who cannot afford them. The digital age has changed how we experience music, but it also raises concerns about fair pay for artists. 36．What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss? A．Music is a universal language. B．Music affects many brain areas. C．Different cultures have different music. D．Music can bring back memories. 37．Learning to play an instrument can ________. A．make students less social B．improve academic performance C．reduce sleep needs D．cause memory problems 38．What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．The history of music therapy. B．The cost of music education. C．The therapeutic uses of music. D．The different types of music. 39．What challenge does the passage mention about music education? A．Students don’t want to learn. B．Teachers are not qualified. C．Some schools cannot afford programs. D．Parents don't support it. 40．What can we infer about the future of music? A．Physical formats will disappear completely. B．Music will become less important. C．New technologies will continue to change music. D．Traditional music will be forgotten. 【答案】36．B 37．B 38．C 39．C 40．C 【导语】本文介绍了音乐作为通用语言的作用，分别阐述了音乐对大脑的益处、在音乐治疗中的应用，同时也指出了当前音乐教育资源分配不均、数字时代下艺术家报酬公平性有待解决的相关问题。 【详解】36．根据第一段“Recent research shows music activates multiple brain areas, including those for emotion, memory, and motor control.(近期研究表明，音乐能够激活大脑多个区域，包括负责情绪、记忆和运动控制的区域。)”可知，音乐影响大脑区域，选项B最能概括音乐对大脑的影响这一核心点。 37．根据第二段“Children who learn music often perform better in math and language.(学习音乐的孩子通常在数学和语言方面表现更好。)”可知，学习乐器可以提高学业表现，选项B“提高学业成绩”符合题意。 38．根据第三段“Music therapy helps reduce stress, anxiety, and pain. For dementia patients, it can unlock memories. For children with autism, it improves social interaction.(音乐疗法有助于减轻压力、焦虑和疼痛。对于痴呆症患者，它能唤醒记忆；对于自闭症儿童，则能改善社交互动。)”可知，本段主要围绕音乐的治疗用途展开，选项C“音乐的治疗用途。”符合题意。 39．根据第四段“However, music education is unequal. Poor schools often lack programs.(然而，音乐教育存在不平等现象。贫困学校往往缺乏相关课程。)”可知，部分学校负担不起音乐教育项目，选项C“一些学校无力承担相关项目。”符合题意。 40．根据第四段“The digital age has changed how we experience music, but it also raises concerns about fair pay for artists.(数字时代改变了我们体验音乐的方式，但也引发了人们对艺术家能否获得公平报酬的担忧。)”可推断，新技术将继续改变音乐的体验与发展模式，选项C“新技术将继续改变音乐”符合题意。 请阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容从下面选项内的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。 How important is music? 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. This opinion is wrong. 41 42 Music reflects (反映) 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. He introduced jazz style into his music. 43 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. It’s a special language. We can “talk” to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way. 44 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. 45 A．Music makes our lives colorful. B．So music education is necessary for all students. C．Music tells us who we are. D．In fact, music education is much more necessary than people usually think. E．Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. F．Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. G．We can’t express our opinions and emotions through music. 【答案】41．D 42．C 43．E 44．F 45．B 【导语】本文主要论述了音乐的重要性以及音乐教育的必要性。 【详解】41．根据“This opinion is wrong.”可知，前文提到了一种错误的观点，即认为音乐只是娱乐而非教育首选，此处应是对该错误观点的反驳，强调音乐教育的重要性，选项D“事实上，音乐教育比人们通常认为的要必要得多。”符合语境。故选D。 42．根据“Music reflects (反映) the musicians’ thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from.”可知，此处应是说音乐能反映一些东西，选项C“音乐告诉我们我们是谁。”符合语境，引出后文对音乐反映内容的举例。故选C。 43．根据“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.”可知，此处应是说音乐能提供一种认识世界的方式，选项E“音乐提供了一种以不同方式认识世界的能力。”符合语境。故选E。 44．根据“Music shows people’s thoughts. It’s a special language. We can ‘talk’ to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way.”可知，此处应是说通过语言来表达一些东西，选项F“通过语言，我们表达我们的感受、发现、想法和希望。”符合语境。故选F。 45．根据“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.”可知，此处应是说音乐教育对学生很必要，选项B“所以音乐教育对所有学生都是必要的。”符合语境。故选B。 四、短文填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) The First Time I Played for Others When I was 12 years old, my parents asked me if I wanted to take piano lessons. I said yes immediately because I had always admired children who could play an i 46 well. After six months of lessons, I could play several short pieces. I thought I was doing q 47 well, but that feeling changed one day. My piano teacher told me that a c 48 for young learners would be held at the local music centre. She encouraged me to take part in it. At first, I was not w 49 to join. I was afraid of forgetting the notes in front of a large audience. However, my teacher said, “This is a good c 50 to improve yourself. Even if you do not win, you will learn something from the experience.” I spent the next three weeks p 51 every evening for two hours. On the day of the competition, my hands were cold and my heart was beating fast. When I was finally called to the stage, I walked slowly to the piano, sat down, and took a deep b 52 . Then I began to play. To my surprise, my fingers moved smoothly over the k 53 , just as they had at home. The hall was quiet, and I could not see anything but the piano and the music. When I finished, there was a short s 54 , and then the audience clapped warmly. I did not get first prize that day, but I learned an important lesson: the joy of music is not in winning. It is in s 55 what you have learned with others.

It has a long history of more than 2,500 years. It first appeared long before the Han Dynasty. In the early days, the ancient guzheng only had five strings. As time went by, people kept adding strings for richer sounds. Today most common guzheng have 21 strings. Players usually sit in front of the instrument. They wear special finger picks and use their fingers to pluck the strings gently. The guzheng can produce different kinds of sounds. It can be soft and peaceful, and it can also be lively and exciting. Plenty of wonderful folk music pieces are specially written for the guzheng.

Whenever my parents played a symphony on the radio, I would 11 my phone and listen to pop songs with my earphones. To me, classical music sounded boring and 12 . This all changed last month 13 our music teacher took us to a special concert. It was not in a grand hall, 14 in the school hall, and it was specially prepared for teenagers. The conductor gave short introductions before each piece, and a narrator told the stories behind the music. The first piece was a fast and energetic movement, which made me tap my feet 15 the beat. Then came a slow, gentle piece played on the piano. As the soft melody 16 the hall, I found myself thinking of my grandmother, who used to sing lullabies to me when I was little. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I had never 17 that music could reach a place so deep inside my heart. After the concert, our teacher asked us to share our feelings. Most of my classmates said they had 18 been so moved by classical music. Our teacher smiled and said, “That’s the 19 of music. It speaks to everyone, no matter how old or young you are. You just need to give it a 20 .” Since then, I have 21 out several classical playlists online. At first, I only listened when I was doing homework, 22 the soft background would help me focus. Gradually, I found that certain pieces could 23 my mood when I was stressed or tired. I even started watching documentaries about great composers like Mozart and Beethoven. Now I know that music is not a one-size-fits-all 24 . Whether it is classical, jazz, or folk, what matters is whether it touches your heart. When you 25 a piece truly speaks to you, that connection is priceless. Music really does speak a language we can all understand. 11．A．put on B．take out C．look for D．give up 12．A．lively B．personal C．distant D．natural 13．A．until B．when C．because D．although 14．A．so B．and C．for D．but 15．A．on B．at C．to D．in 16．A．covered B．filled C．reached D．entered 17．A．imagined B．decided C．regretted D．forgotten 18．A．nearly B．almost C．never D．just 19．A．form B．beauty C．style D．power 20．A．chance B．voice C．hand D．gift 21．A．sold B．searched C．checked D．thrown 22．A．hoping B．realizing C．remembering D．noticing 23．A．hide B．fail C．lift D．miss 24．A．decision B．conclusion C．impression D．experience 25．A．find B．report C．remind D．force 三、阅读理解。(本大题共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) A   Vote (投票): Is it OK for AI to make music?AI music AI is a computer system that can learn like humans.

B In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music—from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it’s both of these things, but it’s also something else: they’re elephants. These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint. Richard Lair works with the TECC． He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone. The animals also use their voices and trunks to make sounds. But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don’t just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music, which make money for the TECC． And the music these artists create is pretty amazing. 29．How do the elephants in the orchestra make sounds? ①With their trunks.    ②By singing.    ③By painting.    ④Using instruments. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 30．What can we know about Richard Lair’s personality from the passage? A．Creative and caring. B．Humorous and outgoing. C．Strict and hardworking. D．Shy and quiet. 31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Smart Elephants in a Zoo B．Richard Lair and the TECC C．The Unusual Elephant Musicians D．Traditional Thai Music C Do you like music? Have you ever listened to upbeat music—often music that is happy or energetic—to cheer yourself up? Research has shown that music can have an effect on our mind. So, what is the science behind music? Researchers found that if people listen to upbeat music while trying to feel happier at the same time, they report feeling better. However, if people just listen to the music but don’t actively try to feel happier, they can’t feel better. And listening to slower, more serious music doesn’t help them feel any happier either. And there’s more. Researchers also found that listening to some classical music helps your brain focus and deal with information better. This is very useful when you’re studying. And many people report that simple and soft music can also help their brain stay focused. Why? The brain has two kinds of attention. One is conscious attention (有意注意) and the other is unconscious attention. While the conscious attention may be focused on work, the unconscious attention may have nothing to do, only looking for fun. Having music on in the background gives the unconscious attention something to focus on, which improves overall concentration (专注力). The power of music doesn’t stop there. If you have trouble falling asleep from time to time, music can also help. Research shows that the best music for this purpose has about sixty beats per minute—almost the same as a healthy, resting heart. Classical music is often around this speed. Any music that is soft and does not have sudden loud parts may be effective. People who have serious sleep problems may need to listen to this kind of music for several nights before they see results. 32．When can upbeat music help us feel happier according to paragraph 2? A．If we are also trying to feel happier. B．If we listen to upbeat music every day. C．If we mix upbeat music with serious music. D．If we are listening to slow music at the same time. 33．Why does some background music help improve concentration? A．It brings the brain a lot of fun. B．It gets the brain to work faster. C．It makes conscious attention busier. D．It gives unconscious attention something to do. 34．How does the writer develop ideas in Paragraph 4? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By making comparisons. D．By using research findings. 35．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Why music cheers us up B．How music helps us learn C．How music influences our mind D．Why music improves our memory D The Language of Music Music is called the universal language. It crosses cultures, brings people together, and expresses emotions beyond words. Recent research shows music activates multiple brain areas, including those for emotion, memory, and motor control. That is why a song can make us happy or sad, and why it can trigger vivid memories. Learning to play an instrument is great for the brain. Musicians have better memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. Children who learn music often perform better in math and language. Music therapy helps reduce stress, anxiety, and pain. For dementia patients, it can unlock memories. For children with autism, it improves social interaction. However, music education is unequal. Poor schools often lack programs. Many organizations work to provide instruments to children who cannot afford them. The digital age has changed how we experience music, but it also raises concerns about fair pay for artists. 36．What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss? A．Music is a universal language. B．Music affects many brain areas. C．Different cultures have different music. D．Music can bring back memories. 37．Learning to play an instrument can ________. A．make students less social B．improve academic performance C．reduce sleep needs D．cause memory problems 38．What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．The history of music therapy. B．The cost of music education. C．The therapeutic uses of music. D．The different types of music. 39．What challenge does the passage mention about music education? A．Students don’t want to learn. B．Teachers are not qualified. C．Some schools cannot afford programs. D．Parents don't support it. 40．What can we infer about the future of music? A．Physical formats will disappear completely. B．Music will become less important. C．New technologies will continue to change music. D．Traditional music will be forgotten. 请阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容从下面选项内的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。 How important is music? 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. This opinion is wrong. 41 42 Music reflects (反映) 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. He introduced jazz style into his music. 43 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. It’s a special language. We can “talk” to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way. 44 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. 45 A．Music makes our lives colorful. B．So music education is necessary for all students. C．Music tells us who we are. D．In fact, music education is much more necessary than people usually think. E．Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. F．Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. G．We can’t express our opinions and emotions through music. 四、短文填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) The First Time I Played for Others When I was 12 years old, my parents asked me if I wanted to take piano lessons. I said yes immediately because I had always admired children who could play an i 46 well. After six months of lessons, I could play several short pieces. I thought I was doing q 47 well, but that feeling changed one day. My piano teacher told me that a c 48 for young learners would be held at the local music centre. She encouraged me to take part in it. At first, I was not w 49 to join. I was afraid of forgetting the notes in front of a large audience. However, my teacher said, “This is a good c 50 to improve yourself. Even if you do not win, you will learn something from the experience.” I spent the next three weeks p 51 every evening for two hours. On the day of the competition, my hands were cold and my heart was beating fast. When I was finally called to the stage, I walked slowly to the piano, sat down, and took a deep b 52 . Then I began to play. To my surprise, my fingers moved smoothly over the k 53 , just as they had at home. The hall was quiet, and I could not see anything but the piano and the music. When I finished, there was a short s 54 , and then the audience clapped warmly. I did not get first prize that day, but I learned an important lesson: the joy of music is not in winning. It is in s 55 what you have learned with others. Since then, I have never been afraid to play for an audience again. 五．选词填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 从方框中选择恰当的词或短语并用其正确形式填空 (每个词或短语限用一次)。 compose, attend, mix, flow, press, earn, download, east, gentle, talent 56．This musician soft flute songs for local concerts every year. 57．Hundreds of listeners the jazz concert last Friday evening. 58．He likes to African drum sounds with eastern string music. 59．The sweet sound of the jasmine piece through the concert hall. 60．You need to the keys lightly to get a soft sound on the keyboard. 61.Tan Dun’s amazing music ________ him lots of high praise around the world. 62．Fans his new songs to their phones to listen at home. 63．Her way of using the bow makes her performance special. 64．Many ancient cultural relics lie in the__________ part of our country, and more teenagers hope to learn about the history there.. 65．Her natural for music was noticed when she was a little girl. 六、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，用英语简要回答下列问题。（每题答案不超过6个词） The guzheng is one of the most amazing traditional Chinese musical instruments.
