Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic (传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant. The star, whose death aged 82 in 1986 brought to an end one of the 20th century’s greatest screen careers, rarely spoke in public and would always adopt a mid-American accent for the cameras. Isaacs, 60, said this week that after some “detective work”, he found out about an interview Cary Grant gave to a student from the University of Iowa months before his death. The student’s classmate secretly recorded the interview in which Cary Grant spoke about his hatred (厌恶) of being approached by fans. The secret recording reveals Cary Grant’s true accent. At the launch of the ITV drama Archie-after Cary Grant’s birth name Archibald Leach — Isaacs said that when he landed the role, “the first thing I did was look for interviews of Cary Grant.” Isaacs added, “He didn’t want to be seen and he didn’t want to be known. There was nothing at all. Only the films. And that’s not what he spoke like. His accent changed a lot in the films.” Isaacs said of listening to the tape: “I felt like I’d finally made a real connection with him and that’s the voice you hear on screen in Archie. It’s more English than he is in the movies. People think they remember Cary Grant’s voice but what they remember is Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot.” The ITV biopic focuses on Grant’s troubled family relationships. Jennifer Grant, Grant’s daughter, said her father had rarely spoken about his childhood. “Sadly I think there was so much shame wrapped up in it,” Jennifer Grant said. 24．(2.5分)Why did Jason Isaacs attempt to get a recording of Cary Grant? A．To recreate his accent for real. B．To show sincere respect to him. C．To get the role of Cary Grant easily. D．To make the film more profitable. 25．(2.5分)What can we infer about Cary Grant from Paragraph 4? A．He acted as a detective. B．He worked in a university. C．He hated being recorded secretly. D．He disliked having his life disturbed. 26．(2.5分)Whose voice is familiar to the audience? A．Cary Grant. B．Tony Curtis. C．Jason Isaacs. D．Jennifer Grant. 27．(2.5分)What kind of person is Jason Isaacs? A．Generous. B．Ambitious. C．Determined. D．Knowledgeable. （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 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 the story, they were more likely to remember the story in a positive way, even when they thought back 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). 28．(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. 29．(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. 30．(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. 31．(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. （本题10分）A speech in a play by Shakespeare can be as short as a word or as long as several hundred. But what is the most common length? Staying away from Shakespeare himself for a moment, we can take Ben Jonson’s play Volpone (1606) and count the number of speeches and their lengths. The most common length is four words. The next most common length is five words. Of the other 16 Jonson’s plays, 12 also have a speech length mode (模式) of four. It was not just Jonson; it was everybody. After 1602, four-word speeches were the most common kind across all the early modern plays that survived. The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten. After 1602, the mode of four predominated. If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back. Our suggestion is that the playwrights (剧作家) learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech. Another way to think of this is offered by the Russian literary scholar Boris Yarkho. He put forward an “index (指数) of liveliness” — the ratio of the number of speeches to the total number of lines in a play. He researched the works of the 17th-century French playwright Pierre Corneille and found that his comedies have a higher index because of their shorter speeches. The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms. Nevertheless, we have no record of any dramatist or playgoer reflecting on the shortening of average speech lengths; our only knowledge of it comes from counting the words in the plays for ourselves. 32．(2.5分)What happened in English plays around the 1600s? A．Their storylines were about famous writers. B．They were influenced by a poetic writing style. C．They featured different storytelling techniques. D．Their speeches were generally shorter in length. 33．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “predominated” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Remained unique. B．Took the leading position. C．Disappeared slowly. D．Played an educational role. 34．(2.5分)Why did playwrights change their writing styles according to paragraph 4? A．To challenge traditional writing rules. B．To stand out by applying their unique style. C．To avoid being affected by social values. D．To create realistic and acceptable speeches. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is Yarkho’s opinion on the change in plays? A．It saved actors the trouble of memorizing their lines. B．It reflected people's preference for serious dialogues. C．It helped present dramas in an active and pleasant way. D．It made the characters express their feelings effectively. （本题12.5分）How Music Helps Ease Pain in Hospitals Nurse Rod Salaysay uses various instruments in his work — not only medical tools but also his guitar and ukulele. In the recovery unit, he helps patients manage pain after surgery. Along with medicine, he plays music or sings at their request. 36(2.5分) His performances often lead to patients smiling or nodding along. Sometimes, their heart rates and blood pressure even improve, and some need less pain medication. Music’s pain-relieving effect — called music-induced analgesia — is now being studied scientifically. No one claims music can take away severe pain entirely, though. 37(2.5分) “There’s often a cycle of worry, pain, and anxiety in a hospital,” Salaysay said. “But music can help break that cycle.” 38(2.5分) Over recent decades, live and prerecorded music have entered more hospitals as research explores how music affects pain. What makes music effective against pain? “Pain is created by physical sensation, our thoughts about it, and our emotional reaction,” explained psychologist Adam Hanley. Music acts as a distraction, pulling attention away from discomfort. 39(2.5分) Familiar and well-liked music tends to work best because it activates emotions and memories more strongly. 40(2.5分) A study from the Netherlands tested five music genres and found no single type was most effective — what mattered was that listeners enjoyed the music. Another study found that letting people choose their own music increased pain tolerance. Focused listening, rather than treating music as background noise, also improves the effect. A．But it does more — it engages the brain broadly, changing the pain experience. B．He is not alone in using music as a form of therapy (治疗). C．However, the music must be soft and slow to have any real effect. D．Patients usually prefer modern pop songs to classical music. E．It’s not just about distraction — patient choice and active listening matter too. F．His song choices include folk music in different languages and pieces from classical and soundtracks. G．Recent research suggests music can reduce how much pain people feel or increase their ability to tolerate it. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When my uncle passed away last year, he left me his old acoustic (原声的) guitar. It had been sitting in his closet for decades, 41 and out of tune. As someone more 42 in video games and social media, I first saw the instrument as little more than a 43 piece of wood.

Now I teach young students to play the guitar. I always 54 that same folk song, telling them: “Some songs are not just notes — they are stories 55 to be shared.” When the children play, the old guitar seems to shine, as if it has finally found its true voice. 41．(1分)A．damaged B．shabby C．abandoned D．dusty 42．(1分)A．interested B．experienced C．confident D．successful 43．(1分)A．precious B．useless C．meaningful D．decorative 44．(1分)A．keys B．strings C．buttons D．pipes 45．(1分)A．thoughts B．images C．memories D．voices 46．(1分)A．while B．until C．unless D．though 47．(1分)A．missed B．shared C．recorded D．accepted 48．(1分)A．disk B．book C．diary D．note 49．(1分)A．ruined B．shaded C．blocked D．clouded 50．(1分)A．kindness B．comfort C．presence D．technique 51．(1分)A．lecture B．exhibition C．gallery D．performance 52．(1分)A．tightly B．hesitantly C．nervously D．patiently 53．(1分)A．informed B．reminded C．convinced D．warned 54．(1分)A．adapt to B．write about C．begin with D．think of 55．(1分)A．waiting B．pretending C．trying D．struggling 四、语法填空 语法填空 In the heart of Beijing, the Forbidden City is a powerful symbol of China’s rich imperial past. Now 56(0分) (serve) as the Palace Museum, it houses over 1.8 million cultural treasures, including ancient paintings, bronzes, and antique clocks. 57 (preserve) these precious artifacts, a team of about 150 restorers combines modern techniques with time-honoured restoration practices. Within a laboratory-like setting, restorers employ 58 (advance) tools such as X-ray machines to analyse artifacts. For instance, a discolored roof tile (瓦片) 59 (examine) to identify whether the damage results from pollution or aging, 60 is crucial for effective preservation strategies. Alongside technology, traditional techniques are 61 (equal) important. In a process called “inpainting”, experts carefully repair holes in a silk panel 62 (decorate) with the Chinese character for “longevity”. Established in the 1950s, the Palace Museum’s Conservation Department is like a “hospital” for cultural treasures. The restoration process is often painstaking and time-consuming, sometimes taking months to complete 63 single piece. The Palace Museum’s devotion 64 restoring and preserving its collection underlines a broader 65 (commit) to protecting cultural treasures.

Dance was my favorite class, and I looked forward to going every day. This year is my senior year and I couldn't wait to see what the dance class would bring me. On the first day of class, a fellow dancer told me our new teacher was Ms. Barton, who only taught ballet. I had never taken ballet before. I admitted I was a bit nervous, but also up for the challenge. As I entered the classroom, all the girls were ready. We all stood at the barre (扶手杆) as Ms. Barton ran us through basic ballet steps — plié, tendu, dégagé and rond de jambe to name a few. She was just how I had imagined a ballet teacher would be: excellent posture with a strict attitude. Along with my fellow classmates, I began my grand plié, with one hand on the barre and the other motioning out to the side, slowly bending down with my knees held at a level. I wanted to give myself a pat on the back. But Ms. Barton gave me a stare and asked everyone else to watch me do a grand plié. “Wow, she must think I’m great to demonstrate.” Hiding my excitement, I performed again. Complete silence. All eyes were on me. “Now, class, this is an example of what not to do,” Ms. Barton said. Red face. Eyes watering. A wave of pure embarrassment came over me. What had just happened? What should I do? I tried to finish the rest of the class to the best of my ability. Before the class ended, Ms. Barton briefly mentioned two important things: there would be a final dance presentation at the end of the term to show our learning achievements and she would also select one student for the “Ballerina Award”. I spent the rest of the day reflecting on the moment, feeling upset and even wanting to quit. But my pride wouldn’t allow it, and Ms. Barton's announcement gave me a ray of hope. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, I thought it over and eventually decided to keep going. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, the dance presentation day arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 4 Stage and Screen（较难版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What impressed the woman most about the concert?

Staying cozy indoors during a storm feels wonderful, especially when you’re warm under blankets. The sound of happy babies brings such joy, filling us with optimism.

Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic (传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant. The star, whose death aged 82 in 1986 brought to an end one of the 20th century’s greatest screen careers, rarely spoke in public and would always adopt a mid-American accent for the cameras. Isaacs, 60, said this week that after some “detective work”, he found out about an interview Cary Grant gave to a student from the University of Iowa months before his death. The student’s classmate secretly recorded the interview in which Cary Grant spoke about his hatred (厌恶) of being approached by fans. The secret recording reveals Cary Grant’s true accent. At the launch of the ITV drama Archie-after Cary Grant’s birth name Archibald Leach — Isaacs said that when he landed the role, “the first thing I did was look for interviews of Cary Grant.” Isaacs added, “He didn’t want to be seen and he didn’t want to be known. There was nothing at all. Only the films. And that’s not what he spoke like. His accent changed a lot in the films.” Isaacs said of listening to the tape: “I felt like I’d finally made a real connection with him and that’s the voice you hear on screen in Archie. It’s more English than he is in the movies. People think they remember Cary Grant’s voice but what they remember is Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot.” The ITV biopic focuses on Grant’s troubled family relationships. Jennifer Grant, Grant’s daughter, said her father had rarely spoken about his childhood. “Sadly I think there was so much shame wrapped up in it,” Jennifer Grant said. 24．(2.5分)Why did Jason Isaacs attempt to get a recording of Cary Grant? A．To recreate his accent for real. B．To show sincere respect to him. C．To get the role of Cary Grant easily. D．To make the film more profitable. 25．(2.5分)What can we infer about Cary Grant from Paragraph 4? A．He acted as a detective. B．He worked in a university. C．He hated being recorded secretly. D．He disliked having his life disturbed. 26．(2.5分)Whose voice is familiar to the audience? A．Cary Grant. B．Tony Curtis. C．Jason Isaacs. D．Jennifer Grant. 27．(2.5分)What kind of person is Jason Isaacs? A．Generous. B．Ambitious. C．Determined. D．Knowledgeable. 【答案】24．A 25．D 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文一篇记叙文。在饰演已故明星Cary Grant这个角色之前，为了真实再现Cary Grant的声音，Jason Isaacs设法找到了Cary Grant生前的谈话录音，从而可以模仿他的真实声音。因为大家熟悉的Cary Grant的声音都是他在电影里的声音，这与他真实的声音不同。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic(传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant. (在即将上映的ITV传记片中扮演加里·格兰特的杰森·艾萨克斯说，虽然他下定决心要弄清楚加里·格兰特的真实口音，但他对没有采访加里·格兰特感到不安。)”可推知，Isaacs下定决心找到有关Cary Grant的录音，是想在电影中真实地再现他的声音。故选A。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The student’s classmate secretly recorded the interview in which Cary Grant spoke about his hatred(厌恶) of being approached by fans. (该学生的同学秘密录制了加里·格兰特在采访中谈到他对粉丝的厌恶。)”可推知，他不喜欢自己的生活被打扰。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“People think they remember Cary Grant’s voice but what they remember is Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot. (人们以为他们记得加里·格兰特的声音，但他们记得的是《热情似火》里的托尼·柯蒂斯。)”可知，观众记住的Cary Grant的声音其实是电影Some Like It Hot中的角色Tony Curtis的声音。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic(传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant. (在即将上映的ITV传记片中扮演加里·格兰特的杰森·艾萨克斯说，虽然他下定决心要弄清楚加里·格兰特的真实口音，但他对没有采访加里·格兰特感到不安。)”Jason Isaacs为了演好Cary Grant这个角色设法找到他的采访录音，从而在电影里真实再现Cary Grant的声音，可推知，Jason Isaacs是有决心的。故选C。 （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 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 the story, they were more likely to remember the story in a positive way, even when they thought back 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). 28．(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. 29．(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. 30．(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. 31．(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】28．B 29．D 30．C 31．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】28．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 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。 29．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。 30．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。 （本题10分）A speech in a play by Shakespeare can be as short as a word or as long as several hundred. But what is the most common length? Staying away from Shakespeare himself for a moment, we can take Ben Jonson’s play Volpone (1606) and count the number of speeches and their lengths. The most common length is four words. The next most common length is five words. Of the other 16 Jonson’s plays, 12 also have a speech length mode (模式) of four. It was not just Jonson; it was everybody. After 1602, four-word speeches were the most common kind across all the early modern plays that survived. The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten. After 1602, the mode of four predominated. If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back. Our suggestion is that the playwrights (剧作家) learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech. Another way to think of this is offered by the Russian literary scholar Boris Yarkho. He put forward an “index (指数) of liveliness” — the ratio of the number of speeches to the total number of lines in a play. He researched the works of the 17th-century French playwright Pierre Corneille and found that his comedies have a higher index because of their shorter speeches. The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms. Nevertheless, we have no record of any dramatist or playgoer reflecting on the shortening of average speech lengths; our only knowledge of it comes from counting the words in the plays for ourselves. 32．(2.5分)What happened in English plays around the 1600s? A．Their storylines were about famous writers. B．They were influenced by a poetic writing style. C．They featured different storytelling techniques. D．Their speeches were generally shorter in length. 33．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “predominated” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Remained unique. B．Took the leading position. C．Disappeared slowly. D．Played an educational role. 34．(2.5分)Why did playwrights change their writing styles according to paragraph 4? A．To challenge traditional writing rules. B．To stand out by applying their unique style. C．To avoid being affected by social values. D．To create realistic and acceptable speeches. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is Yarkho’s opinion on the change in plays? A．It saved actors the trouble of memorizing their lines. B．It reflected people's preference for serious dialogues. C．It helped present dramas in an active and pleasant way. D．It made the characters express their feelings effectively. 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了17世纪后，大多数戏剧的话语长度转向四字模式，剧作家认为较短的戏剧话语能以一种积极愉快的方式呈现戏剧。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten.(伦敦戏剧产业在1580年代末和1590年代初开始发展，我们看到演讲长度模式集中在9词或10词)”及“If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back.(如果我们只看莎士比亚的戏剧，我们会发现他做的和其他人一样：在1597-1602年左右，他从喜欢9个词的演讲变成了喜欢4个词的演讲，并且再也没有回去过)”可知，16世纪末尾，话语长度多为9词，10词，17世纪后，话语长度转向4词，话语长度变短。故选D。 33．词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back.(如果我们只看莎士比亚的戏剧，我们会发现他做的和其他人一样：在1597-1602年左右，他从喜欢9个词的演讲变成了喜欢4个词的演讲，并且再也没有回去过)”可知，划线词后以莎士比亚的戏剧为例，说明话语长度变短，并且再没有变长，推知，4词模式从此处于主流领导地位，划线词意思为：处于领先地位。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Our suggestion is that the playwrights(剧作家)learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech.(我们的建议是，剧作家们逐渐从彼此学习如何更紧密地表达日常交流中的讲话长度，并发现观众对此反应良好。他们开始不那么关注严格的写作规则，而更多地关注日常讲话的生动活泼)”可知，剧作家写作时更加重视日常用语的生动性，因此，他们改变写作风格创造现实和可接受的演讲。故选D。 35．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms.(从9个词的模式到4个词的模式代表了缩短的平均讲话，因此用Yarkho的话说，这是一种更生动的戏剧)”可知，Yarkho认为，将戏剧的词数变短，有助于以一种积极愉快的方式呈现戏剧。故选C。 （本题12.5分）How Music Helps Ease Pain in Hospitals Nurse Rod Salaysay uses various instruments in his work — not only medical tools but also his guitar and ukulele. In the recovery unit, he helps patients manage pain after surgery. Along with medicine, he plays music or sings at their request. 36(2.5分) His performances often lead to patients smiling or nodding along. Sometimes, their heart rates and blood pressure even improve, and some need less pain medication. Music’s pain-relieving effect — called music-induced analgesia — is now being studied scientifically. No one claims music can take away severe pain entirely, though. 37(2.5分) “There’s often a cycle of worry, pain, and anxiety in a hospital,” Salaysay said. “But music can help break that cycle.” 38(2.5分) Over recent decades, live and prerecorded music have entered more hospitals as research explores how music affects pain. What makes music effective against pain? “Pain is created by physical sensation, our thoughts about it, and our emotional reaction,” explained psychologist Adam Hanley. Music acts as a distraction, pulling attention away from discomfort. 39(2.5分) Familiar and well-liked music tends to work best because it activates emotions and memories more strongly. 40(2.5分) A study from the Netherlands tested five music genres and found no single type was most effective — what mattered was that listeners enjoyed the music. Another study found that letting people choose their own music increased pain tolerance. Focused listening, rather than treating music as background noise, also improves the effect. A．But it does more — it engages the brain broadly, changing the pain experience. B．He is not alone in using music as a form of therapy (治疗). C．However, the music must be soft and slow to have any real effect. D．Patients usually prefer modern pop songs to classical music. E．It’s not just about distraction — patient choice and active listening matter too. F．His song choices include folk music in different languages and pieces from classical and soundtracks. G．Recent research suggests music can reduce how much pain people feel or increase their ability to tolerate it. 【答案】36．F 37．G 38．B 39．A 40．E 【导语】本文主要介绍音乐能够帮助医院病人缓解疼痛，并分析其原理与发挥效果的关键因素。 【详解】36．前文“In the recovery unit, he helps patients manage pain after surgery. Along with medicine, he plays music or sings at their request.(护士罗德·萨莱赛在工作中使用各种工具，不仅包括医疗器械，还有他的吉他和尤克里里。在康复病房中，他帮助患者术后缓解疼痛。根据患者的请求，他会演奏音乐或唱歌。)”指出护士罗德·萨莱赛会根据病人要求演奏音乐或唱歌，下文“His performances often lead to patients smiling or nodding along. Sometimes, their heart rates and blood pressure even improve, and some need less pain medication.(他的表演经常让病人微笑或点头。有时，他们的心率和血压甚至会改善，有些人需要的止痛药也会减少。)”阐述他演奏的音乐或唱歌给病人带来的益处；选项F“His song choices include folk music in different languages and pieces from classical and soundtracks.(他的歌曲选择包括不同语言的民谣音乐，以及古典音乐和电影原声作品。)”承接上文“plays music or sings”，具体举例说明他演奏什么类型的音乐，自然引出后面的积极效果。 37．前文“Music’s pain-relieving effect — called music-induced analgesia — is now being studied scientifically. No one claims music can take away severe pain entirely, though.(音乐的镇痛作用——即音乐诱导性镇痛——目前正受到科学研究。不过，目前没有人声称音乐能完全消除剧烈疼痛。)”指出目前正在科学研究音乐缓解疼痛的作用，但是没有人声称音乐能完全消除剧痛；选项G“Recent research suggests music can reduce how much pain people feel or increase their ability to tolerate it.(最新研究表明，音乐可以减轻人们的疼痛感，或增强他们对疼痛的耐受能力。)”引出音乐的确切作用，与“不能完全消除”形成对比，引出下文对音乐效果的讨论。 38．前文““There’s often a cycle of worry, pain, and anxiety in a hospital,” Salaysay said. “But music can help break that cycle.”(‘在医院里经常会有一个担心、痛苦和焦虑的循环。’Salaysay说：‘但音乐可以帮助打破这种循环。’)”前文引用Salaysay的话说音乐能打破“担忧—疼痛—焦虑”的循环，后文“Over recent decades, live and prerecorded music have entered more hospitals as research explores how music affects pain.(近几十年来，随着研究探索音乐对疼痛的影响，现场演奏和预先录制的音乐已越来越多地进入医院。)”指出现在有很多人都在治疗中应用音乐；选项B“He is not alone in using music as a form of therapy (治疗).(他并不是唯一一个将音乐作为治疗方式的人。)”承接Salaysay的个人案例，引出后文“更多医院使用音乐”的内容，逻辑连贯。 39．根据前文“Music acts as a distraction, pulling attention away from discomfort.(音乐起到分散注意力的作用，将人们的注意力从不适感上转移开。)”和后文“Familiar and well-liked music tends to work best because it activates emotions and memories more strongly.(熟悉且受欢迎的音乐往往效果最佳，因为它能更强烈地激发情绪和回忆。)”可知，本段解释音乐镇痛的原理，前文提到音乐首先能分散注意力，下文提到熟悉且受欢迎的音乐能激发情绪和回忆；选项A“But it does more — it engages the brain broadly, changing the pain experience.(但它的作用不止于此——它能广泛地激活大脑，从而改变疼痛的感受。)”既承接了“distraction”的作用，引出更深层的原理：广泛的脑部参与，更强烈地激发影响情绪与记忆。 40．根据后文“A study from the Netherlands tested five music genres and found no single type was most effective — what mattered was that listeners enjoyed the music. Another study found that letting people choose their own music increased pain tolerance. Focused listening, rather than treating music as background noise, also improves the effect.(一项来自荷兰的研究测试了五种音乐类型，发现没有单一类型的音乐效果最好——关键在于听众是否享受音乐。另一项研究发现，让人们自主选择音乐可以提高疼痛耐受力。专注聆听，而非将音乐当作背景噪音，也能增强这种效果。)”可知，此处是讲让病人选择自己喜欢的音乐和专注聆听也很重要，所以选项E“It’s not just about distraction — patient choice and active listening matter too.(这不仅仅是关于分散注意力——患者的自主选择和积极倾听同样重要。)”切合语境。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When my uncle passed away last year, he left me his old acoustic (原声的) guitar. It had been sitting in his closet for decades, 41 and out of tune. As someone more 42 in video games and social media, I first saw the instrument as little more than a 43 piece of wood. One rainy afternoon, I picked it up and gently brushed the dust off its 44 . The moment my fingers touched them, 45 rushed back. I was seven again, sitting on his porch 46 he played old folk songs and sang off-key. The guitar wasn’t just an old object; it was a symbol of the love we 47 . Inside the case, I found a faded 48 in his handwriting: “For you — play when I can’t.” Tears 49 my eyes as I attempted to form my first chord. Over the following months, I practiced every day. The more I played, the more I felt his 50 . On his birthday, I organized a small 51 at a nearby nursing home. When I played his favorite song, several residents hummed along quietly.

In my opinion, plot matters far more than special effects when it comes to a movie. A good plot is the soul of a movie, which can touch viewers deeply and leave a lasting impression. It conveys true feelings and meaningful ideas that make people think. Special effects only bring temporary visual fun but can’t make people remember the movie long. Without a great plot, even amazing effects will make the movie empty and boring. Thus, a movie with a wonderful plot is always more valuable and moving. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“Which matters More in a Movie: Plot or Special Effects?”为题写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 表达：convey→express 思考：think→ponder 宝贵的：valuable→precious 感人的：moving→affecting 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：In my opinion, plot matters far more than special effects when it comes to a movie. 拓展句：What I firmly believe is that plot matters far more than special effects when it comes to a movie. 【点睛】【高分句型1】A good plot is the soul of a movie, which can touch viewers deeply and leave a lasting impression.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】It conveys true feelings and meaningful ideas that make people think.（运用了that引导定语从句） 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。 I'd loved hip-hop dancing since my childhood, and in high school I took classes that focused on jazz and hip-hop. Dance was my favorite class, and I looked forward to going every day. This year is my senior year and I couldn't wait to see what the dance class would bring me. On the first day of class, a fellow dancer told me our new teacher was Ms. Barton, who only taught ballet. I had never taken ballet before. I admitted I was a bit nervous, but also up for the challenge. As I entered the classroom, all the girls were ready. We all stood at the barre (扶手杆) as Ms. Barton ran us through basic ballet steps — plié, tendu, dégagé and rond de jambe to name a few. She was just how I had imagined a ballet teacher would be: excellent posture with a strict attitude. Along with my fellow classmates, I began my grand plié, with one hand on the barre and the other motioning out to the side, slowly bending down with my knees held at a level. I wanted to give myself a pat on the back. But Ms. Barton gave me a stare and asked everyone else to watch me do a grand plié. “Wow, she must think I’m great to demonstrate.” Hiding my excitement, I performed again. Complete silence. All eyes were on me. “Now, class, this is an example of what not to do,” Ms. Barton said. Red face. Eyes watering. A wave of pure embarrassment came over me. What had just happened? What should I do? I tried to finish the rest of the class to the best of my ability. Before the class ended, Ms. Barton briefly mentioned two important things: there would be a final dance presentation at the end of the term to show our learning achievements and she would also select one student for the “Ballerina Award”. I spent the rest of the day reflecting on the moment, feeling upset and even wanting to quit. But my pride wouldn’t allow it, and Ms. Barton's announcement gave me a ray of hope. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, I thought it over and eventually decided to keep going. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, the dance presentation day arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 That night, I thought it over and eventually decided to keep going. I made up my mind to practice ballet hard. From the next day on, every morning I arrived at the dance studio an hour earlier than others to repeat basic steps. I stared at the mirror to correct my posture, and even asked classmates with ballet experience to help me adjust my movements. No matter how tired I felt after school, I never skipped a day of practice. Something inside me wanted to prove that I could do it. Months later, the dance presentation day arrived. When it was my turn, I moved smoothly and confidently, every step precise and graceful. The audience burst into thunderous applause as I finished, and Ms. Barton looked at me with a rare smile. Though I was not the best ballet dancer out there, I spared no effort to prepare for it and gave it my all. At the award ceremony, I was declared winner of the Ballerina Award by Ms. Barton. I received the prize, a bit teary-eyed, and said sincerely, “Thank you for challenging me.” 【导语】本文以舞蹈为线索，讲述了“我”从小热爱嘻哈舞，高中也一直学习爵士舞和嘻哈舞，高三时迎来新的芭蕾老师巴顿女士，从未接触过芭蕾的“我”在第一节课上，做芭蕾基本动作时被巴顿女士当众指出错误，倍感尴尬和沮丧，甚至想放弃；但自尊心不允许自己退缩，巴顿女士提到的期末舞蹈展示和“芭蕾舞者奖”，也给了“我”一丝希望的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“那天晚上，我仔细想了想，最终决定坚持下去。”可知，本段可描写“我”决定坚持后的努力付出。 ② 由第二段首句“几个月后，舞蹈展示日到了。”可知，本段可描写期末展示的成果与“我”的成长感悟。 2. 续写线索：“我”决定坚持练习芭蕾——每天提前到舞蹈室重复基础动作——对着镜子纠正姿势、请教同学——无论多累从不间断练习，决心证明自己——舞蹈展示日到来，“我”流畅自信地完成表演——获得观众掌声和巴顿女士的认可——“我”被授予“芭蕾舞者奖”，真诚感谢巴顿女士 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①. 练习：practice/rehearse ②. 纠正：correct/rectify ③. 调整：adjust/adapt ④. 完成：finish/accomplish ⑤. 授予：declare/award 情感类 ①. 顺利地：smoothly/favourably ②. 真诚地：sincerely/in good faith 【点睛】[高分句型1].
