It’s undoubtedly the most famous performing arts and music festival in the UK, attracting hundreds of thousands of fans to its gates every year. Tickets cost around $248 and go on sale in November of the year before the festival. They include five-day festival entry and a camping space for five nights and can be got on glastonbury.seetickets.com. Glastonbury is held over five days in Pilton, Somerset. What to expect? Well, more than 30,000 performers play across over 100 stages here. And you can expect a lot more than just live music here. As a festival of performing arts, Glastonbury hosts dance, comedy, theater, circus, and other events. Over the five days, the festival becomes a self-contained (自给自足的) village with lots of campsites, stages, food markets, and relaxation spaces. Each part feels different. You can find everything from campfires to political stages to outdoor movies. If you camp on-site, remember exactly where you park your car and set up your tent. You’d be surprised at how many people get lost in a sea of tents. When: June Where: Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset Where to Stay: While camping on-site is all part of the fun, you could choose to improve your accommodation (住宿) and find a comfortable hotel without spending too much. 21．(2.5分)What is included in the ticket? A．A five-night camping place. B．Five-day parking. C．A hotel room nearby. D．Food at the markets. 22．(2.5分)What can visitors do at Glastonbury? A．Visit art exhibitions. B．Enjoy dance and comedy. C．Meet famous movie stars. D．See movies indoors. 23．(2.5分)Where is the text probably taken from? A．A music textbook. B．A news report. C．A travel magazine. D．A theater guide. 【答案】21．A 22．B 23．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了英国著名的格拉斯顿伯里艺术音乐节，包括其门票内容、丰富活动以及场地特色，并提供时间和住宿建议。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第二段“Tickets cost around $248 and go on sale in November of the year before the festival. They include five-day festival entry and a camping space for five nights and can be got on glastonbury.seetickets.com. (门票价格约为248美元，在节日前一年的11月开始销售。门票包括五天的音乐节入场券和五晚的露营场地，可以在glastonbury.seetickets.com上预订。)”可知，门票包括五晚的露营场地。故选A项。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段中“As a festival of performing arts, Glastonbury hosts dance, comedy, theater, circus, and other events．(作为表演艺术节，格拉斯顿伯里提供舞蹈、喜剧、戏剧、马戏等演出。)”可知，游客可以在这里欣赏舞蹈和喜剧表演。故选B项。 23．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“If there’s one festival that doesn’t need an introduction, it would be Glastonbury．It’s undoubtedly the most famous performing arts and music festival in the UK, attracting hundreds of thousands of fans to its gates every year．(如果有一个音乐节不需要介绍，那就是格拉斯顿伯里音乐节了。这无疑是英国最著名的表演艺术和音乐节，每年都会吸引成千上万的粉丝来到这里。)”可知，文章主要介绍格拉斯顿伯里音乐节的时间、地点、门票、活动、住宿建议等，属于旅游或活动指南类的文章。因此，文章最有可能摘自一本旅游杂志。故选C项。 （本题10分）In June 2025, 18-year-old musician Mia Wang started a project called “Melody of Hope”. The project brings music education to children in rural (农村的) areas of China, where many schools lack art resources. Music, as a universal language, can bring joy and inspiration. However, in many rural schools, there are no music teachers or instruments. Mia’s project aims to_transform that. She collects used musical instruments from cities, repairs them, and donates them to rural schools. “Every child deserves the chance to enjoy music,” Mia said. What makes Mia’s project unique is her interactive teaching method. She doesn’t just give away instruments; she also trains local teachers and sets up online music classes. For example, in a village in Yunnan Province, Mia taught the children to play the guitar through live streams (直播). The children were so excited that they formed a band and performed at the school’s annual (年度的) festival. Mia also organizes music camps during summer vacation. These camps allow children from different villages to come together and learn music. “It’s amazing to see how music connects these kids,” Mia noted. Her project has already helped over 2,000 children, and many of them have developed a lifelong love for music. Though Mia has achieved a lot, she stays modest. “This is a team effort. Many people have helped make this possible,” she said. With her deep love for music, Mia will surely continue to spread the melody of hope. 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about “Melody of Hope” from paragraph 1? A．It was started by a group of music teachers. B．It provides music education for rural children. C．It mainly teaches children to make musical instruments. D．It is a project to build new schools in rural areas. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “transform” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．respond. B．acquire. C．change. D．ignore. 26．(2.5分)How did Mia teach children in Yunnan Province? A．By setting up offline music schools. B．By inviting famous musicians to teach. C．By holding music competitions. D．By using live streams to teach guitar. 27．(2.5分)What mainly leads to the success of Mia’s project? A．The interactive teaching method. B．The support from the government. C．The money from big companies. D．The influence of social media. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．D 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了18岁音乐家Mia Wang发起“希望旋律”项目，为农村儿童提供音乐教育并取得成功。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“In June 2025, 18-year-old musician Mia Wang started a project called “Melody of Hope”. The project brings music education to children in rural areas of China, where many schools lack art resources.(2025年6月，18岁的音乐人Mia Wang发起了一个名为“希望旋律”的项目。该项目为中国农村地区的儿童提供音乐教育，许多农村学校缺乏艺术资源。)”可知，“希望旋律”项目为农村儿童提供音乐教育。故选B。 25．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“However, in many rural schools, there are no music teachers or instruments．Mia’s project aims to transform that．She collects used musical instruments from cities, repairs them, and donates them to rural schools．“Every child deserves the chance to enjoy music,” Mia said.(然而，在许多农村学校，既没有音乐老师，也没有乐器。米娅的项目旨在transform这一现状。她从城市收集闲置乐器，修理后捐赠给农村学校。“每个孩子都应有机会享受音乐，”Mia说道。)”可知，许多农村学校没有音乐老师或乐器，而Mia的项目旨在改变这种情况，她从城市收集用过的乐器，修理后捐赠给农村学校。故transform意思是“改变”。故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段中“For example, in a village in Yunnan Province, Mia taught the children to play the guitar through live streams．(例如，在云南省的一个村庄，米娅通过直播教孩子们弹吉他。)”可知，Mia通过直播教云南的孩子们弹吉他。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据第三段中“What makes Mia’s project unique is her interactive teaching method．She doesn’t just give away instruments; she also trains local teachers and sets up online music classes.(Mia项目的独特之处在于她的互动教学法。她不只是赠送乐器；她还培训当地教师并开设在线音乐课程。)”可知，互动式教学方法是Mia项目成功的主要原因。故选A。 （本题10分）Have you ever noticed how a particular song can bring back a flood of memories? Maybe it’s the tune that was playing during your first dance, or the anthem (主题曲) of a memorable road trip. People often think of these musical memories as fixed pictures of the past. But recent research suggests music may do more than just trigger (唤醒) memories — it might even change how you remember them. Listening to music can change how you feel about what you remember — potentially offering new ways to help people cope with difficult memories. When you listen to music, it’s not just your ears that are engaged. The areas of your brain responsible for emotion and memory also become active. The hippocampus, which is important for storing memories, works closely with the amygdala, the brain’s emotional center. This is partly why certain songs are not only memorable but also deeply emotional. Although music’s ability to evoke (唤起) emotions and trigger memories is well known, we wondered whether it could also alter the emotional content of existing memories. As a result, we developed a three-day experiment to test whether music played during recall might introduce new emotional elements into the original memory. On the first day, participants memorized a series of short, emotionally neutral stories. The next day, they recalled these stories while listening to either positive music, negative music or silence. On the final day, participants were asked to recall the stories again, this time without any music. The results were amazing. When participants listened to emotionally charged music while recalling stories, they were more likely to include new emotional elements into the story that matched the mood of the music. While further research is needed, the findings have exciting implications for both everyday life and for medicine. For people dealing with conditions such as depression or sadness, where negative memories can be overwhelming (巨大的), carefully chosen music might help reshape those memories in a more positive light and potentially reduce their negative emotional impact over time. It’s also hopeful for exploring music-based interventions in treatments for depression and other mental health conditions. The next time you put on a favorite playlist, consider how it might be coloring not just your current mood but also your future memories as well. 28．(2.5分)How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A．By listing several facts. B．By describing a song. C．By presenting a research. D．By raising a question. 29．(2.5分)What is the function of amygdala in Paragraph 2? A．To store memories. B．To manage emotion. C．To send messages. D．To determine actions. 30．(2.5分)What’s the main focus of the three-day experiment? A．The role of the hippocampus in memory. B．The influence of silence on memory recall. C．The effects of music on physical and mental health. D．The impact of music on emotional content of memories. 31．(2.5分)Which statement does the author probably agree with? A．Music may help to color mood and memories. B．Music is effective in treating mental problems. C．Music can be used to erase negative memories. D．Music can replace traditional treatment for depression. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．D 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了音乐如何影响人们的记忆和情感。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever noticed how a particular song can bring back a flood of memories? Maybe it’s the tune that was playing during your first dance, or the anthem (主题曲) of a memorable road trip. People often think of these musical memories as fixed pictures of the past. But recent research suggests music may do more than just trigger (唤醒) memories — it might even change how you remember them.(你是否曾留意过，一首特定的歌曲如何能唤起如潮的回忆？也许是初舞时萦绕的旋律，或是一场难忘公路旅行的主题曲。人们常将这些音乐记忆视为定格的往昔画面。然而最新研究表明，音乐的作用不止于唤醒记忆——它甚至可能改变人们对记忆的感知方式)”可知，作者通过提出问题来引入文章的主题。故选D项。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“When you listen to music, it’s not just your ears that are engaged. The areas of your brain responsible for emotion and memory also become active. The hippocampus, which is important for storing memories, works closely with the amygdala, the brain’s emotional center. This is partly why certain songs are not only memorable but also deeply emotional.(当你听音乐时，不仅仅是你的耳朵在听音乐。大脑中负责情绪和记忆的区域也变得活跃起来。海马体对储存记忆很重要，它与杏仁核（大脑的情感中心）密切合作。这就是为什么某些歌曲不仅令人难忘，而且充满情感)”可知，杏仁核的功能是管理情绪。故选B项。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段“Although music’s ability to evoke (唤起) emotions and trigger memories is well known, we wondered whether it could also alter the emotional content of existing memories. As a result, We developed a three-day experiment to test whether music played during recall might introduce new emotional elements into the original memory.(虽然音乐唤起情感和触发记忆的能力是众所周知的，但我们想知道它是否也能改变现有记忆的情感内容。因此，我们开展了一个为期三天的实验，以测试在回忆过程中播放的音乐是否会在原始记忆中引入新的情感元素)”可知，这个为期三天的实验的主要焦点是音乐对记忆情感内容的影响。故选D项。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“While further research is needed, the findings have exciting implications for both everyday life and for medicine. For people dealing with conditions such as depression or sadness, where negative memories can be overwhelming (巨大的), carefully chosen music might help reshape those memories in a more positive light and potentially reduce their negative emotional impact over time. It’s also hopeful for exploring music-based interventions in treatments for depression and other mental health conditions. The next time you put on a favorite playlist, consider how it might be coloring not just your current mood but also your future memories as well.(虽然还需要进一步的研究，但这些发现对日常生活和医学都有令人兴奋的意义。对于那些正在处理抑郁或悲伤等负面记忆的人来说，精心挑选的音乐可能有助于以更积极的方式重塑这些记忆，并随着时间的推移潜在地减少它们的负面情绪影响。它也有望探索以音乐为基础的干预措施，用于治疗抑郁症和其他精神健康状况。下次当你打开最喜欢的播放列表时，考虑一下它不仅会影响你当前的情绪，还会影响你未来的记忆)”可知，作者认为音乐可以帮助渲染情绪和记忆。故选A项。 （本题10分）A recent study from Stanford University has found a strong link between learning music and improved language skills in young adults. The research involved two groups of high school students from similar academic backgrounds. One group took part in a three-month music course where they learned to play a simple instrument and understand basic music theory, while the other group took a general art appreciation course of the same duration. After six months, the researchers tested the students’ brain responses through advanced EEG technology and found that the music group was significantly better at processing the sounds of language, especially in noisy environments. They also performed 15% better on reading comprehension tests and showed improved memory length. “It seems that the skills involved in understanding pitch, rhythm and timing in music can transfer to the brain’s language network,” said Dr. Nina Kraus, the lead researcher. “The neural pathways developed through musical training appear to enhance how we process and interpret linguistic information.” This study adds to the growing body of evidence that music education is not just a “fun extra” but essential for cognitive development. Additional benefits observed included better concentration and problem-solving abilities among music students.

One group took part in a three-month music course where they learned to play a simple instrument and understand basic music theory, while the other group took a general art appreciation course of the same duration. (这项研究涉及两组学术背景相似的高中生。一组参加了为期三个月的音乐课程，学习演奏一种简单的乐器并理解基础音乐理论；另一组则参加了同样时长的一般艺术欣赏课程。)”可知，研究人员通过比较两组学生来开展研究。 33．细节理解题。根据第一段中“A recent study from Stanford University has found a strong link between learning music and improved language skills in young adults．(斯坦福大学的一项最新研究发现，学习音乐与年轻人语言能力的提升之间存在密切关联。)”和第二段中“After six months, the researchers tested the students’ brain responses through advanced EEG technology and found that the music group was significantly better at processing the sounds of language, especially in noisy environments．They also performed 15% better on reading comprehension tests and showed improved memory length．(六个月后，研究人员通过先进的脑电图技术测试了学生的脑部反应，发现音乐组在处理语言声音方面表现显著更好，尤其是在嘈杂环境中。此外，他们在阅读理解测试中的成绩高出15%，记忆时长也有所改善。)”可知，该研究主要发现音乐学习能提高语言技能。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段中Dr．Nina Kraus所说的话“It seems that the skills involved in understanding pitch, rhythm and timing in music can transfer to the brain’s language network (似乎，理解音乐中的音高、节奏和时值所涉及的技能可以转移到大脑的语言网络中)”可知，她认为音乐帮助语言的原因在于音乐技能可能转移到语言网络。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Schools facing expense cuts should think twice before giving up music programs, as they might be weakening students’ academic potential in reading and language while also depriving (剥夺) them of these other cognitive benefits．(面临经费削减的学校在放弃音乐项目之前应三思，因为这可能会削弱学生在阅读和语言方面的学术潜力，同时剥夺他们获得其他认知益处的机会。)”可知，作者建议学校不要削减有价值的音乐项目。 （本题12.5分）Goals aren’t just things to do.

The project brings music education to children in rural (农村的) areas of China, where many schools lack art resources. Music, as a universal language, can bring joy and inspiration. However, in many rural schools, there are no music teachers or instruments. Mia’s project aims to_transform that. She collects used musical instruments from cities, repairs them, and donates them to rural schools. “Every child deserves the chance to enjoy music,” Mia said. What makes Mia’s project unique is her interactive teaching method. She doesn’t just give away instruments; she also trains local teachers and sets up online music classes. For example, in a village in Yunnan Province, Mia taught the children to play the guitar through live streams (直播). The children were so excited that they formed a band and performed at the school’s annual (年度的) festival. Mia also organizes music camps during summer vacation. These camps allow children from different villages to come together and learn music. “It’s amazing to see how music connects these kids,” Mia noted. Her project has already helped over 2,000 children, and many of them have developed a lifelong love for music. Though Mia has achieved a lot, she stays modest. “This is a team effort. Many people have helped make this possible,” she said. With her deep love for music, Mia will surely continue to spread the melody of hope. 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about “Melody of Hope” from paragraph 1? A．It was started by a group of music teachers. B．It provides music education for rural children. C．It mainly teaches children to make musical instruments. D．It is a project to build new schools in rural areas. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “transform” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．respond. B．acquire. C．change. D．ignore. 26．(2.5分)How did Mia teach children in Yunnan Province? A．By setting up offline music schools. B．By inviting famous musicians to teach. C．By holding music competitions. D．By using live streams to teach guitar. 27．(2.5分)What mainly leads to the success of Mia’s project? A．The interactive teaching method. B．The support from the government. C．The money from big companies. D．The influence of social media. （本题10分）Have you ever noticed how a particular song can bring back a flood of memories? Maybe it’s the tune that was playing during your first dance, or the anthem (主题曲) of a memorable road trip. People often think of these musical memories as fixed pictures of the past. But recent research suggests music may do more than just trigger (唤醒) memories — it might even change how you remember them. Listening to music can change how you feel about what you remember — potentially offering new ways to help people cope with difficult memories. When you listen to music, it’s not just your ears that are engaged. The areas of your brain responsible for emotion and memory also become active. The hippocampus, which is important for storing memories, works closely with the amygdala, the brain’s emotional center. This is partly why certain songs are not only memorable but also deeply emotional. Although music’s ability to evoke (唤起) emotions and trigger memories is well known, we wondered whether it could also alter the emotional content of existing memories. As a result, we developed a three-day experiment to test whether music played during recall might introduce new emotional elements into the original memory. On the first day, participants memorized a series of short, emotionally neutral stories. The next day, they recalled these stories while listening to either positive music, negative music or silence. On the final day, participants were asked to recall the stories again, this time without any music. The results were amazing. When participants listened to emotionally charged music while recalling stories, they were more likely to include new emotional elements into the story that matched the mood of the music. While further research is needed, the findings have exciting implications for both everyday life and for medicine. For people dealing with conditions such as depression or sadness, where negative memories can be overwhelming (巨大的), carefully chosen music might help reshape those memories in a more positive light and potentially reduce their negative emotional impact over time. It’s also hopeful for exploring music-based interventions in treatments for depression and other mental health conditions. The next time you put on a favorite playlist, consider how it might be coloring not just your current mood but also your future memories as well. 28．(2.5分)How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A．By listing several facts. B．By describing a song. C．By presenting a research. D．By raising a question. 29．(2.5分)What is the function of amygdala in Paragraph 2? A．To store memories. B．To manage emotion. C．To send messages. D．To determine actions. 30．(2.5分)What’s the main focus of the three-day experiment? A．The role of the hippocampus in memory. B．The influence of silence on memory recall. C．The effects of music on physical and mental health. D．The impact of music on emotional content of memories. 31．(2.5分)Which statement does the author probably agree with? A．Music may help to color mood and memories. B．Music is effective in treating mental problems. C．Music can be used to erase negative memories. D．Music can replace traditional treatment for depression. （本题10分）A recent study from Stanford University has found a strong link between learning music and improved language skills in young adults. The research involved two groups of high school students from similar academic backgrounds. One group took part in a three-month music course where they learned to play a simple instrument and understand basic music theory, while the other group took a general art appreciation course of the same duration. After six months, the researchers tested the students’ brain responses through advanced EEG technology and found that the music group was significantly better at processing the sounds of language, especially in noisy environments. They also performed 15% better on reading comprehension tests and showed improved memory length. “It seems that the skills involved in understanding pitch, rhythm and timing in music can transfer to the brain’s language network,” said Dr. Nina Kraus, the lead researcher. “The neural pathways developed through musical training appear to enhance how we process and interpret linguistic information.” This study adds to the growing body of evidence that music education is not just a “fun extra” but essential for cognitive development. Additional benefits observed included better concentration and problem-solving abilities among music students. Schools facing expense cuts should think twice before giving up music programs, as they might be weakening students’ academic potential in reading and language while also depriving (剥夺) them of these other cognitive benefits. 32．(2.5分)How did the researchers conduct their study? A．By interviewing many teachers. B．By studying ancient written texts. C．By comparing two student groups. D．By testing only reading skills. 33．(2.5分)What was the main finding of the Stanford study? A．Music has no effect on math skills. B．Music learning improves language skills. C．All students should learn music. D．Music courses are more popular. 34．(2.5分)According to Dr．Kraus, why can music help with language? A．Both music and language need a very good memory. B．Musical skills may transfer to language network. C．Music is much easier to learn. D．All musicians are good at languages. 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s suggestion for schools? A．Do not cut the valuable music programs. B．Replace all art courses with music. C．Focus only on reading and math. D．Make music courses more difficult. （本题12.5分）Goals aren’t just things to do.
