(本题10分)Born in Salford in 1966, Russell Watson is the UK’s bestselling classical crossover artist. He began his career in the working-class clubs of the northwest before getting a record deal and releasing The Voice, an album that held No.1 for an impressive 52 weeks.
At the age of 15, Watson’s room, though small, was filled with photos of Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, and Paul Weller. While he was deeply attached to music, football was his primary passion. His first guitar, which he saw in a shop window, cost £300 — a small fortune at the time. His family, with his mother as a stay-at-home parent and his father working at the factory, couldn’t afford it. Determined, Watson took on paper rounds and even washed cars during school holidays to save enough money. That guitar became his most treasured item, though he later sold it during tough financial times in the 2000s.
Watson’s big break came when his mother arranged his first performance in a local club. Although they were paid in custard_creams_and_tea, it marked the beginning of his career.
Early performances were tough, and the audience wasn’t always receptive. However, Watson learned how to engage and connect with them, an experience that shaped him into a seasoned performer.
By 1999, he was recording in George Martin’s studio, and his classical crossover career took off, especially after teamwork with artists like Shaun Ryder. However, in 2003, health problems, including throat and vocal (声带) diseases, stopped his progress. Watson faced even more serious health challenges in 2005 when he suffered from brain tumours (肿瘤). In spite of this, he remained devoted, continuing to work on his album. Though told he wouldn’t perform like his younger self, Watson’s voice is now stronger than ever, and he remains grateful for the journey that has shaped him.
24.(2.5分)What do we know about Russell Watson according to paragraph 1?
A.He was born in the US in 1966. B.His first album was a hit.
C.He set the highest sales record. D.He started the working-class club.
25.(2.5分)Why did Watson sell his first guitar?
A.To give in to his father. B.To fund his first album.
C.To get a better instrument. D.To address financial struggles.
26.(2.5分)The underlined phrase “custard creams and tea” in paragraph 3 implies __.
A.humble income B.appropriate rewards
C.symbolic recognition D.professional contracts
27.(2.5分)What can we say about Watson from the text?
A.He puts fame before health. B.He lacks musical devotion.
C.He has strong willpower. D.He relies only on natural talent.
(本题10分)It began with a low sound that seemed to shake directly through the soles of my shoes. Standing in the centre of the city, I watched as a large, mud-covered field was changed into a lively place of sound and light. For many, the typical image of a British festival is one of collective endurance — crowding together in rain-soaked tents and dealing with the unpredictable weather. Yet, as the first performer took the stage, those small discomforts disappeared.
Belfast 2024 felt less like a series of scheduled concerts and more like a temporary utopia (乌托邦). In this brief window of time, the normal rules of social connection were paused. I found myself becoming temporary best friends with strangers over a shared appreciation for a local band I had never heard of before. There is a specific kind of electricity that ripples through a crowd of thousands when a familiar song begins to play. It becomes an overwhelming sensory impact: the blinding stage lights, the scent of woodsmoke and street food, and the loud sound of voices singing together.
Critics often regard these events as overpriced and disorganized, and perhaps, on a purely practical level, they have a point. However, to focus simply on the chaos is to miss the broader significance. A festival is a shared activity that offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with a deeper sense of community.
As the sun began to set, casting an emotional glow over the audience, the music stopped being mere background noise. It became a unifying force that went beyond language and background. Standing there, tired and covered in dust but singing my heart out alongside a sea of strangers, I realized I wasn’t just watching a performance. I was part of something much larger than myself — a living, breathing testament to the power of human connection through melody.
28.(2.5分)What is the typical image of a British festival according to paragraph 1?
A.Crowding together to play music.
B.Bearing minor discomforts together.
C.Putting up with extremely loud sounds.
D.Cheering together for the first performer.
29.(2.5分)Why did Belfast 2024 feel more like a temporary utopia?
A.It brought online friends together.
B.It provided various food and drinks.
C.It offered the best music performance.
D.It enabled unique musical experience.
30.(2.5分)What do critics fail to recognize about music festivals?
A.The reasons for the high price. B.The logic of the organization.
C.The value of the social connection. D.The nature of digital interaction.
31.(2.5分)What is the best title of the passage?
A.The Secret of Belfast 2024.
B.The Healing Power of Music.
C.The Unifying Sound of Belfast.
D.The Organization of Music Festivals.
(本题10分)Music can make us feel all sorts of different emotions. There might be a certain song that reminds you of a time of your life-a particular day or moment. Maybe it’s the song that was playing when you met your partner, or when you last saw your best friend.
But according to new research, music may be able to do more than just bring back memories — it could even affect the way we remember the past. Researchers in the US did an experiment in which test subjects were asked to memorize a number of short stories that were described as “emotionally neutral (中性的).”
A day later, the subjects were asked to think about these stories while listening to positive music, unpleasant music or silence. They also had MRI scans (磁共振成像扫描) to measure their brain activity while listening and thinking about the stories. Then the next day, they were asked to think back to the stories without listening to any music.
The researchers found that when people were thinking about the stories and listening to emotional music, they were more likely to add new “emotional parts” into the story that matched the music. For example, if they were listening to positive music when thinking back to the story, they were more likely to remember the story in a positive way, even when they thought back to the story later and the music was not playing.
The researchers also saw increased activity in the parts of test subjects’ brains connected with emotional memory processing while people were listening to music and thinking about the stories. The research team said this may explain why music connected with an important life event can feel so powerful when we listen to it again later. They also said the idea of using music to influence memories could be useful for helping people with things like depression (抑郁).
32.(2.5分)How did the researchers get their findings?
A.By doing mental tests.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By referring to historical records.
D.By recording subjects’ daily activities.
33.(2.5分)What did the MRI scans show about subjects’ brain activity?
A.Music decreased brain activity related to memory.
B.Brain activity was not related to the type of music.
C.Silence had the greatest effect on memory processing.
D.Emotional music increased activity in emotional memory areas.
34.(2.5分)What possible application did the researchers suggest for using music to affect memories?
A.Promoting musical skills. B.Improving students’ studies.
C.Helping people with depression. D.Reducing the effects of aging.
35.(2.5分)In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage?
A.Scientific Observation. B.Music Education.
C.Art Appreciation. D.Internet Technology.

67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a quiet Sunday evening, Pastor (牧师) Roy was settling into his chair when his phone rang. It was Trisha, a new member of the small church where Roy had been working for the past five years and Roy was still getting to know the families.
“Pastor Roy, I’m so sorry that Jeanie fell,” Trisha said, her voice filled with concern. Roy knew Jeanie well; she was the only church pianist who had broken her wrist in an accident earlier that week. Several members had offered to help, but Trisha had a different idea. “My son Daniel plays the piano quite well,” she said hesitantly. “If you’d like, he could fill in until Jeanie recovers.”
Roy paused, momentarily at a loss for words. Daniel was only nine years old. He imagined the audience’s reaction to a child playing the piano during the Sunday service. Would they be supportive, or would they be skeptical? He didn’t want to hurt Trisha’s feelings, “May I call you back in a few minutes?” he asked. Trisha agreed, and he hung up, deep in thought.
Roy leaned back in his chair, reflecting on the situation. He had always emphasized the importance of faith and trust in his teaching, yet here he was, hesitating over a decision. He decided to seek advice from Ben, a music director and his close friend. “What if we ask Trisha to bring Daniel to the church on Tuesday evening?” Ben proposed. “We can listen to him play and then make an informed decision.”
On Tuesday evening, Trisha arrived at the church with Daniel. Roy and Ben sat in the front row, watching as Daniel walked up to the piano. He gave a slight bow, a gesture he was used to before his recitals (演奏会) . At the moment, Trisha smiled encouragingly, while Roy and Ben exchanged nervous glances.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Daniel sat down and carefully placed the sheet music on the stand.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following Sunday morning, Roy proudly announced the young pianist to the audience.

【原文】
M: Here at the art sale, there are works of some local artists. One of them is Don Studley, who has a special interest in the art sale because his five-year-old daughter was born with a serious back problem. After an operation earlier this year, she’s now doing fine, but Don says he wants to offer something to help other less fortunate children. His paintings present some of our New Zealand birds in their natural habitats.
One relative newcomer to New Zealand is James Chang, who came here from Singapore nine years ago. At the age of 56, Mr Chang had 13 exhibitions in Singapore right before he came to live here in New Zealand. His paintings are certainly worth looking at — if you like abstract pictures with strong color combinations, you’ll love them.
Natalie Stevens was born in New Zealand, and has exhibited in China, Australia and Spain. Most of her works feature lively figures, so watch out — some of them may even be friends of yours.
Well, that’s all I have time to tell you now, but there are many other artists whose work will be on sale, so do come along.

22.细节理解题。根据Ticket Prices下的“Early Bird Single-Day Ticket: 288 yuan(早鸟日票:288元)”可知,两张单日早鸟票需要288+288=576元。故选C项。

(本题10分)Born in Salford in 1966, Russell Watson is the UK’s bestselling classical crossover artist. He began his career in the working-class clubs of the northwest before getting a record deal and releasing The Voice, an album that held No.1 for an impressive 52 weeks.
At the age of 15, Watson’s room, though small, was filled with photos of Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, and Paul Weller. While he was deeply attached to music, football was his primary passion. His first guitar, which he saw in a shop window, cost £300 — a small fortune at the time. His family, with his mother as a stay-at-home parent and his father working at the factory, couldn’t afford it. Determined, Watson took on paper rounds and even washed cars during school holidays to save enough money. That guitar became his most treasured item, though he later sold it during tough financial times in the 2000s.
Watson’s big break came when his mother arranged his first performance in a local club. Although they were paid in custard_creams_and_tea, it marked the beginning of his career.
Early performances were tough, and the audience wasn’t always receptive. However, Watson learned how to engage and connect with them, an experience that shaped him into a seasoned performer.
By 1999, he was recording in George Martin’s studio, and his classical crossover career took off, especially after teamwork with artists like Shaun Ryder. However, in 2003, health problems, including throat and vocal (声带) diseases, stopped his progress. Watson faced even more serious health challenges in 2005 when he suffered from brain tumours (肿瘤). In spite of this, he remained devoted, continuing to work on his album. Though told he wouldn’t perform like his younger self, Watson’s voice is now stronger than ever, and he remains grateful for the journey that has shaped him.
24.(2.5分)What do we know about Russell Watson according to paragraph 1?
A.He was born in the US in 1966. B.His first album was a hit.
C.He set the highest sales record. D.He started the working-class club.
25.(2.5分)Why did Watson sell his first guitar?
A.To give in to his father. B.To fund his first album.
C.To get a better instrument. D.To address financial struggles.
26.(2.5分)The underlined phrase “custard creams and tea” in paragraph 3 implies __.
A.humble income B.appropriate rewards
C.symbolic recognition D.professional contracts
27.(2.5分)What can we say about Watson from the text?
A.He puts fame before health. B.He lacks musical devotion.
C.He has strong willpower. D.He relies only on natural talent.
【答案】24.B 25.D 26.A 27.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了英国古典跨界歌手Russell Watson的成长经历与职业生涯。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第一段“He began his career in the working-class clubs of the northwest before getting a record deal and releasing The Voice, an album that held No.1 for an impressive 52 weeks.(他的职业生涯始于英国西北部的工人阶级俱乐部,后来他签下了一份唱片合约,发行了《好声音》(the Voice),这张专辑令人印象深刻地保持了52周的冠军宝座)”可知,这张专辑在榜一待了有52周,大概为12个月,是一张成功的唱片。故选B。
25. 细节理解题。根据第二段“That guitar became his most treasured item, though he later sold it during tough financial times in the 2000s.(那把吉他成了他最珍贵的物品,不过他后来在21世纪头十年的金融危机中卖掉了它)”可知,Watson卖掉他的第一把吉他是为了解决经济困难。故选D。
26.词句猜测题。根据前文“Watson’s big break came when his mother arranged his first performance in a local club.(当他的母亲安排他在当地一家俱乐部的首次演出时,沃森迎来了重大突破)”可知,沃森在当地一家俱乐部的首次演出,再结合Although和“it marked the beginning of his career(但这标志着他职业生涯的开始)”可知,首次演出,收入一般不会高,所以应是尽管他的收入十分微薄,但这标志着他职业生涯的起点之意,推知custard creams and tea应是“收入微薄”的意思,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, in 2003, health problems, including throat and vocal (声带) diseases, stopped his progress.Watson faced even more serious health challenges in 2005 when he suffered from brain tumours (肿瘤).In spite of this, he remained devoted, continuing to work on his album.Though told he wouldn’t perform like his younger self, Watson’s voice is now stronger than ever, and he remains grateful for the journey that has shaped him.(然而,在2003年,健康问题,包括喉咙和声音疾病,阻止了他的进步。2005年,沃森患了脑瘤,面临着更严重的健康挑战。尽管如此,他仍然全身心投入,继续制作他的专辑。虽然被告知他不会像年轻时那样表演,但沃森现在的声音比以往任何时候都强大,他仍然感激这段塑造了他的旅程)”可知,Waston在病魔的折磨下,依然坚持创作,所以是有强大的意志力。故选C。
(本题10分)It began with a low sound that seemed to shake directly through the soles of my shoes. Standing in the centre of the city, I watched as a large, mud-covered field was changed into a lively place of sound and light. For many, the typical image of a British festival is one of collective endurance — crowding together in rain-soaked tents and dealing with the unpredictable weather. Yet, as the first performer took the stage, those small discomforts disappeared.
Belfast 2024 felt less like a series of scheduled concerts and more like a temporary utopia (乌托邦). In this brief window of time, the normal rules of social connection were paused. I found myself becoming temporary best friends with strangers over a shared appreciation for a local band I had never heard of before. There is a specific kind of electricity that ripples through a crowd of thousands when a familiar song begins to play. It becomes an overwhelming sensory impact: the blinding stage lights, the scent of woodsmoke and street food, and the loud sound of voices singing together.
Critics often regard these events as overpriced and disorganized, and perhaps, on a purely practical level, they have a point. However, to focus simply on the chaos is to miss the broader significance. A festival is a shared activity that offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with a deeper sense of community.
As the sun began to set, casting an emotional glow over the audience, the music stopped being mere background noise. It became a unifying force that went beyond language and background. Standing there, tired and covered in dust but singing my heart out alongside a sea of strangers, I realized I wasn’t just watching a performance. I was part of something much larger than myself — a living, breathing testament to the power of human connection through melody.
28.(2.5分)What is the typical image of a British festival according to paragraph 1?
A.Crowding together to play music.
B.Bearing minor discomforts together.
C.Putting up with extremely loud sounds.
D.Cheering together for the first performer.
29.(2.5分)Why did Belfast 2024 feel more like a temporary utopia?
A.It brought online friends together.
B.It provided various food and drinks.
C.It offered the best music performance.
D.It enabled unique musical experience.
30.(2.5分)What do critics fail to recognize about music festivals?
A.The reasons for the high price. B.The logic of the organization.
C.The value of the social connection. D.The nature of digital interaction.
31.(2.5分)What is the best title of the passage?
A.The Secret of Belfast 2024.
B.The Healing Power of Music.
C.The Unifying Sound of Belfast.
D.The Organization of Music Festivals.
【答案】28.B 29.D 30.C 31.C
【导语】作者亲历贝尔法斯特音乐节,打破固有刻板印象,感受到音乐跨越差异凝聚众人的力量,体会到线下人际相处的独特价值。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第一段“For many, the typical image of a British festival is one of collective endurance — crowding together in rain-soaked tents and dealing with the unpredictable weather.(在很多人印象里,英国节日的典型画面就是集体熬日子:人们挤在被雨水浸透的帐篷里,应对变幻莫测的天气。)”可知,英国节日的典型画面就是人们要共同承受种种不便。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段“In this brief window of time, the normal rules of social connection were paused.I found myself becoming temporary best friends with strangers over a shared appreciation for a local band I had never heard of before.There is a specific kind of electricity that ripples through a crowd of thousands when a familiar song begins to play.It becomes an overwhelming sensory impact: the blinding stage lights, the scent of woodsmoke and street food, and the loud sound of voices singing together.(在这短暂的时光里,日常的社交准则仿佛暂时失效。只因共同喜爱一支从未听过的本土乐队,我竟和陌生人瞬间成了临时挚友。当熟悉的旋律响起,万千人群中会涌动起别样热烈的氛围。耀眼的舞台灯光、烟火与街边小吃的气息、众人齐声高歌的喧闹声响,交织成极具冲击力的感官体验。)”可知,这场音乐节带来了别样的音乐体验,如同短暂乌托邦。
30.细节理解题。根据第三段“Critics often regard these events as overpriced and disorganized, and perhaps, on a purely practical level, they have a point.However, to focus simply on the chaos is to miss the broader significance.A festival is a shared activity that offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with a deeper sense of community.(批评者常认为这类活动票价虚高、秩序混乱,单从实际角度来看,他们的看法不无道理。但倘若只着眼于乱象,便会忽略其深层价值。节庆属于集体活动,难得让人脱离网络世界,重拾浓厚的集体归属感。)”可知,批评者没能认识到音乐节的社交联结价值。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据最后一段“It became a unifying force that went beyond language and background...a living, breathing testament to the power of human connection through melody.(音乐成为跨越隔阂的凝聚力量,旋律拉近人与人之间的距离。)”可知,文章围绕贝尔法斯特音乐节凝聚人心的音乐之声展开。所以C项“The Unifying Sound of Belfast.(贝尔法斯特之声,凝聚万众之心)”符合语境。
(本题10分)Music can make us feel all sorts of different emotions. There might be a certain song that reminds you of a time of your life-a particular day or moment. Maybe it’s the song that was playing when you met your partner, or when you last saw your best friend.
But according to new research, music may be able to do more than just bring back memories — it could even affect the way we remember the past. Researchers in the US did an experiment in which test subjects were asked to memorize a number of short stories that were described as “emotionally neutral (中性的).”
A day later, the subjects were asked to think about these stories while listening to positive music, unpleasant music or silence. They also had MRI scans (磁共振成像扫描) to measure their brain activity while listening and thinking about the stories. Then the next day, they were asked to think back to the stories without listening to any music.
The researchers found that when people were thinking about the stories and listening to emotional music, they were more likely to add new “emotional parts” into the story that matched the music. For example, if they were listening to positive music when thinking back to the story, they were more likely to remember the story in a positive way, even when they thought back to the story later and the music was not playing.
The researchers also saw increased activity in the parts of test subjects’ brains connected with emotional memory processing while people were listening to music and thinking about the stories. The research team said this may explain why music connected with an important life event can feel so powerful when we listen to it again later. They also said the idea of using music to influence memories could be useful for helping people with things like depression (抑郁).
32.(2.5分)How did the researchers get their findings?
A.By doing mental tests.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By referring to historical records.
D.By recording subjects’ daily activities.
33.(2.5分)What did the MRI scans show about subjects’ brain activity?
A.Music decreased brain activity related to memory.
B.Brain activity was not related to the type of music.
C.Silence had the greatest effect on memory processing.
D.Emotional music increased activity in emotional memory areas.
34.(2.5分)What possible application did the researchers suggest for using music to affect memories?
A.Promoting musical skills. B.Improving students’ studies.
C.Helping people with depression. D.Reducing the effects of aging.
35.(2.5分)In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage?
A.Scientific Observation. B.Music Education.
C.Art Appreciation. D.Internet Technology.
【答案】32.B 33.D 34.C 35.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐能影响人们对过去记忆的方式及潜在应用。
【详解】32.推理判断题。根据第二段的“Researchers in the US did an experiment in which test subjects were asked to memorize a number of short stories that were described as “emotionally neutral (中性的).(美国的研究人员进行了一项实验,在实验中,受试对象被要求记住一些被描述为 “情感中性” 的短篇故事)”以及第三段“A day later, the subjects were asked to think about these stories while listening to positive music, unpleasant music or silence. They also had MRI scans (磁共振成像扫描) to measure their brain activity while listening and thinking about the stories. Then the next day, they were asked to think back to the stories without listening to any music.(一天后,这些受试对象被要求在听积极向上的音乐、令人不悦的音乐或者处于安静状态时,去回想那些故事。在他们听音乐并回想故事的同时,研究人员还对他们进行了磁共振成像扫描,以测量他们的大脑活动。然后,在第二天,受试对象被要求在不听任何音乐的情况下,再次回想那些故事)”可知,研究人员通过做实验,让受试者在不同音乐条件下回忆故事,并通过MRI扫描来测量他们的大脑活动,从而得到他们的发现。由此可推知,研究人员是通过做对比实验得到他们的发现的。故选B。
33.细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The researchers also saw increased activity in the parts of test subjects’ brains connected with emotional memory processing while people were listening to music and thinking about the stories.(研究人员还发现,当人们一边听音乐一边思考这些故事时,测试对象大脑中与情感记忆处理相关的部分区域的活动有所增强)”可知,当人们在听音乐并思考故事时,研究人员发现受试者大脑中与情感记忆处理相关的部分活动增加。因此,MRI扫描显示情感音乐增加了情感记忆区域的活动。故选D。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“They also said the idea of using music to influence memories could be useful for helping people with things like depression (抑郁).(他们还表示,利用音乐来影响记忆的这一想法,可能有助于帮助那些患有抑郁症之类病症的人)”可知,研究人员认为使用音乐来影响记忆的想法可能有助于帮助患有抑郁症等疾病的人。由此可推知,研究人员建议使用音乐影响记忆的可能应用是帮助患有抑郁症的人。故选C。
推理判断题。根据文章的内容,尤其是第二段的“But according to new research, music may be able to do more than just bring back memories—it could even affect the way we remember the past.(但根据一项新的研究,音乐所能做到的可能不仅仅是唤起回忆——它甚至还能影响我们回忆过去的方式)”可知,本文主要讲述了音乐对人们记忆的影响以及潜在的应用,这属于科学研究的范畴。因此,我们可以在报纸的科学观察部分找到这篇文章。故选A。

【详解】56.考查副词。句意:10月31日,联合国教科文组织正式宣布,江苏省无锡加入创意城市网络,成为中国首个“音乐之都”。修饰动词announced,用副词officially作状语。故填officially。
57.考查非谓语动词。句意:联合国教科文组织创意城市网络创立于2004年,旨在推动文化创意产业领域的全球合作与发展。空处为非谓语动词,且句子主语the UNESCO Creative Cities Network和establish之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作状语,置于句首,首字母大写。故填Established。
58.考查连词。句意:在无锡获此称号之前,全球已有75座城市被命名为“音乐之都”,但没有一座来自中国。根据句意可知,前后句之间为转折关系,所以用转折连词but连接。故填but。
59.考查定语从句。句意:无锡之所以能成为音乐之都,原因在于它既古老又现代。空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词the reason,在从句中作原因状语,需用关系副词why引导。故填why。
60.考查介词。句意:联合国教科文组织对该称号的评估涵盖多个领域:音乐传统、教育、产业、国际交流,以及对网络未来发展的贡献。contribution to为固定搭配,意为“对……的贡献”。故填to。
61.考查冠词。句意:“我们对这座城市的音乐生态做了调研,”无锡的一位政府官员朱颖说,“我们希望这份认可能鼓励更多人参与音乐活动。”official为可数名词,此处泛指“一位政府官员”,且government发音以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
62.考查名词复数。句意:“我们对这座城市的音乐生态做了调研,”无锡的一位政府官员朱颖说,“我们希望这份认可能鼓励更多人参与音乐活动。”activity为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且没有冠词限定,需填名词复数形式。故填activities。
63.考查代词。句意:无锡有着丰富的音乐与待被聆听的故事,长期以来都将音乐视为自身身份认同的一部分。修饰名词identity,应用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
64.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:然而,真正让它成为音乐之都的,是那些每天生活在音乐中、呼吸着音乐的人们。根据时间状语every day可知,句子应用一般现在时,且定语从句的先行词为the people,关系代词who指代先行词,在从句中作主语,所以谓语动词用复数形式。故填breathe。
65.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:多年来,无锡为他们提供了一片沃土 —— 一个可以热爱音乐、创作音乐的地方。根据时间状语Over the years可知,句子应用现在完成时,且主语为Wuxi,所以谓语动词用单数形式。故填has offered。

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a quiet Sunday evening, Pastor (牧师) Roy was settling into his chair when his phone rang. It was Trisha, a new member of the small church where Roy had been working for the past five years and Roy was still getting to know the families.
“Pastor Roy, I’m so sorry that Jeanie fell,” Trisha said, her voice filled with concern. Roy knew Jeanie well; she was the only church pianist who had broken her wrist in an accident earlier that week. Several members had offered to help, but Trisha had a different idea. “My son Daniel plays the piano quite well,” she said hesitantly. “If you’d like, he could fill in until Jeanie recovers.”
Roy paused, momentarily at a loss for words. Daniel was only nine years old. He imagined the audience’s reaction to a child playing the piano during the Sunday service. Would they be supportive, or would they be skeptical? He didn’t want to hurt Trisha’s feelings, “May I call you back in a few minutes?” he asked. Trisha agreed, and he hung up, deep in thought.
Roy leaned back in his chair, reflecting on the situation. He had always emphasized the importance of faith and trust in his teaching, yet here he was, hesitating over a decision. He decided to seek advice from Ben, a music director and his close friend. “What if we ask Trisha to bring Daniel to the church on Tuesday evening?” Ben proposed. “We can listen to him play and then make an informed decision.”
On Tuesday evening, Trisha arrived at the church with Daniel. Roy and Ben sat in the front row, watching as Daniel walked up to the piano. He gave a slight bow, a gesture he was used to before his recitals (演奏会) . At the moment, Trisha smiled encouragingly, while Roy and Ben exchanged nervous glances.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Daniel sat down and carefully placed the sheet music on the stand.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following Sunday morning, Roy proudly announced the young pianist to the audience.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Daniel sat down and carefully placed the sheet music on the stand. For a moment, there was complete silence. Then, his fingers began to dance across the keys, filling the church with his charming music. His playing was not showy, but genuine, as if he was sharing a gift from the heart. When he finished, he stood up and walked toward the adults. “Thanks for letting me play tonight!” he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. Ben and Roy were stunned and then asked Daniel if he had ever played while people sang. Daniel nodded, mentioning that he had played for a school choir. Ben and Roy exchanged glances again and they knew they had found their pianist.
The following Sunday morning, Roy proudly announced the young pianist to the audience. As Daniel walked to the piano, the audience’s reactions varied. Some looked surprised, while a few had an “Aw, won’t this be cute?” expression. When Daniel began to play, everyone was initially shocked. How could such a small boy play so skillfully? But soon, they were attracted by his music. The familiar hymns took on a new life under his fingers, and the audience sang with joy and enthusiasm. By the end of the service, Roy realized that sometimes the youngest among us could teach us the greatest lessons, reminding us that age is no barrier to talent or to touching the hearts of others.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了教堂钢琴师Jeanie受伤,Trisha提议让她九岁的儿子Daniel代替,牧师Roy和音乐总监Ben听Daniel演奏后决定让他在周日服务中演奏。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Daniel坐下,小心地把乐谱放在架子上。”可知,第一段可描写Daniel开始演奏,他的音乐充满了教堂,让Roy和Ben感到震惊和惊喜,他们决定让Daniel成为教堂的钢琴师。
②由第二段首句内容“接下来的周日早上,Roy自豪地向观众宣布了这位年轻的钢琴家。”可知,第二段可描写Daniel在周日服务中演奏,观众的反应从惊讶到被他的音乐吸引,最后大家都沉浸在音乐中,Roy也从中得到了启示。
2. 续写线索:Daniel开始演奏——Roy和Ben震惊和惊喜——决定让Daniel成为钢琴师——Daniel在周日服务中演奏——观众被音乐吸引——Roy得到启示
