Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2021·江苏高三月考)Humpback whales swim in ocean areas close to land and are active at the surface. They can often be seen breaching, or leaping out of the water, and then coming down with a great splash. And, if you listen closely, you might even hear one singing.
Marine biologist Jim Darling has studied the songs of humpback whales for more than 25 years.
While recording whale songs on a boat near Hawaii, he invited author Douglas Chadwick to experience diving with a humpback. When swimming with the whale, Chadwick could see that the whale was aware of him, but not alarmed by his presence. The 13 meter long giant looked at him curiously but never harmed him. It pointed its head down to the ocean floor and, with flippers extended out to its sides, began to sing. In the water, Chadwick heard the whale's songs in a way he never heard them before. “Suddenly, I no longer heard the whale's voice in my ears，” he said. “I felt it inside my head and bones.”
While male humpback whales are mostly quiet in the summer, during winter migrations and breeding activities they sing long, complex patterns of sounds. The songs last between 5 and 20 minutes, sometimes lasting for 30 minutes or more, and are repeated note for note.
Darling says that only male humpbacks sing, but for unknown reasons. It was previously thought that they sang to attract females, but scientists showed this was incorrect when they played recordings of whale songs in the ocean and the female whales did not respond. Another idea is that male humpbacks compete with each other using songs, just as other male animals on land do using their antlers or tusks. However, they found all male whales in a group sing the same song when they're together. When one whale changes its tune, the rest of the group change to match.
They also found that some groups of whales repeat some of the same musical phrases even in regions thousands of kilometers away. In some years, the groups' songs were very different from one another, but in other years they were very similar.
There is still so much the scientists don't know, and years of study lies ahead for whale researchers like Jim Darling. “Why do I do it？” the wonders aloud. “Human beings like puzzles. I want to know.”

(2021·杭州二中模拟)In the middle of a hot July afternoon, I became a thief of some sort—a thief of music.
For the first time, I created an original piano arrangement of one of my favorite songs. Using only my ears and iPad, I transformed a mix of sounds and melodies into the tones of a single instrument; I created complex harmonies (和声) and voices into something I could perform with only two hands. No help, no guide—I did it on my own.
I've been a pianist since my hands grew big enough to touch the piano. With my father as a musician, I was all but born on the piano bench. For many years, my musical identity was defined by the notes that others had written in the past centuries: elegant lines of neatly printed notes stamped across the sheet, music became the script I had to perform. I valued classical music—adored it—but I felt such performances were shallow. I had nothing of my own to contribute to the masterful compositions of Bach or Rachmaninov.
This was why, when I put the finishing touches to my piano version of a modern song, my pride was glorious: this arrangement was mine. What I'd done seemed magical: an ability to take what had already existed—to “steal” a song from my favorite band—and to change it into something different all on my own. I was a thief but I was also an artist.
In music, as in other aspects of life, I believe that true originality rarely exists. Almost everything has been done before, in one form or another. The most passionate romance novel may be a slightly changed version of a play written by Shakespeare, which in turn was borrowed from the writers of Ancient Greece: the same themes, different characters, and different circumstances. But the novel no less deserves praise just because its uniqueness is compromised.
The gift of creativity is just like the ability to do what I did on the piano: to find out something beautiful, to analyze and change it and lose yourself in the mystery of its composition, and then to make it new. Such an act is not copying; it is finding inspiration and having the strength and the innovation to use it as fuel for your own masterpiece.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章以作者创作了一首自己喜欢的现代歌曲的钢琴编曲为例，论述了在音乐方面，真正的创造力很少存在，创造力都是与已经存在的东西相联系的。作者认为这种借鉴以前作品进行的再创造是有意义和价值的。
5．Why did the author create the piano arrangement
A．Because he was not satisfied with the old one.
B．Because he wanted to create music of his own.
C．Because he was tired of his father's music teaching method.
D．Because he wanted to show respect for Bach and Rachmaninov.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This was why, when I put the finishing touches to my piano version of a modern song, my pride was glorious: this arrangement was mine.(这就是为什么当我对一首现代歌曲的钢琴版本进行最后润色时，我的自豪感油然而生：这样的改编是我自己的创作。)”可知，作者要创作钢琴编曲是因为他想创作自己的音乐。故选B。
6．By mentioning Shakespeare, the author wants to tell us ________．
A．there is no true creativity in music
B．Shakespeare's plays are totally original
C．many of Shakespeare's plays deserve no praise
D．originality is connected with what has already existed
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I believe that true originality rarely exists. Almost everything has been done before, in one form or another. The most passionate romance novel may be a slightly changed version of a play written by Shakespeare(我相信真正的创造力很少存在。几乎以前所有的事情都以这样或那样的形式被做过了。充满激情的浪漫小说可能是莎士比亚戏剧的稍有变化的版本)”可推知，通过提到莎士比亚，作者想告诉我们创造力是与已经存在的东西相联系的。故选D。
7．We can conclude from the passage that ________．
A．creativity is to find something beautiful
B．adaptation has nothing to do with creativity
C．a masterpiece can be a changed version of an existed work
D．common people don't have the ability to create something new
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The most passionate romance novel may be a slightly changed version of a play written by Shakespeare, which in turn was borrowed from the writers of Ancient Greece(充满激情的浪漫小说可能是莎士比亚戏剧的稍有变化的版本，而莎士比亚戏剧又是从古希腊作家那里借用来的)”可知，杰作可以是已存在的作品的改动版本。故选C。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。越南人主办的文艺表演中有中国文化元素的节目，这让远离家乡三千多公里的“我(中国人)”感到惊叹和感动。“我”为中国文化广受欢迎而自豪。
1．amazed 解析：考查动词的时态。根据本文首句中的“Last week”可知，本文陈述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时，故空处用过去式amazed。
2．but 解析：考查连词。根据该句前半句可知，“我”没想到几乎都是越南人的组织者会邀请其他艺术团体，后半句说，同时欣赏来自不同文化的表演很棒；根据句意可知，该处前后表转折，故用连词but。
3．to listen 解析：考查动词不定式。opportunity后接动词不定式作定语，故该处用动词不定式to listen。
4．attending 解析：考查现在分词。结合语境和句意可知，该处用现在分词，表示“我也注意到有一些非中国背景的人在参加活动”，故用现在分词。
5．impressive 解析：考查形容词。根据语境可知，表演非常令人难忘。根据句意可知，该处用形容词作表语。
6．a 解析：考查不定冠词。该处泛指“热烈鼓掌”，故用不定冠词，big的发音是以辅音音素开头的，故用a。
7．musicians 解析：考查名词及其单复数。根据常识和语境可知，演出结束后，“我”和其中的一些音乐演奏者交谈。故空处表示“音乐演奏者”，musician为可数名词，由some可知，该处用复数形式。
8．why 解析：考查连接词。根据该句中的“asked”可知，该处指询问问题；结合“due to”可知，空处询问“为什么”，故用why引导宾语从句。
9．mainly 解析：考查副词。句意：我问他们为什么决定这么做，他们告诉我主要是因为他们的个人兴趣。空格处在句中作状语，要用副词。
10．will consider 解析：考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“next term”可知，该句陈述对未来的计划，故用一般将来时。

(2021·潍坊高三阶段性监测)
Fortune Cookie Friends
Jenny frowned (皱眉) as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a dumb idea，” Jenny complained mostly to herself.
“What's that？” her mother asked，opening a box and lifting several pots out.
“Nothing，” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know, and it seemed like the students hadn't even noticed her. Jenny sighed and got back to washing dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Jenny's parents were all smiling, welcoming customers into the restaurant brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny's age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny ducked her head so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
Jenny's mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.
“Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out to be with the customers.”
“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There are kids from school！”
“So？” her mother asked. “That's good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello！” She said to Jenny，pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read：“Many friends are found with a single smile.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Jenny absently read the fortune cookie paper.

One possible version：
Jenny absently read the fortune cookie paper. She suddenly realized something. She grabbed a handful of(一把) fortune cookies that they gave out after every meal, but first she tore a wrapper open and popped a sweet, crunchy piece in her mouth. Then, she put a handful of cookies into a small tray and left the kitchen. Jenny sighed. Mustering up(鼓起) her courage, she approached the table where the twins and their parents were finishing their meal.
She placed the cookies down, and bravely looked the girls in the eyes. “Thank you for coming to our restaurant！” Jenny said with a smile. “Oh, fortune cookies, I love these！” cried one of the girls, reaching for the tray. The other sister looked at Jenny carefully and her eyes lit up with recognition. Then they introduced themselves to each other. Everyone was very happy and they talked a lot about their school and classmates. Later they made an appointment to hang out together. Jenny tried to downplay(对……轻描淡写) the swell of happiness she felt, but she wasn't succeeding.

B卷——大题提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2021·江苏高三月考)Humpback whales swim in ocean areas close to land and are active at the surface. They can often be seen breaching, or leaping out of the water, and then coming down with a great splash. And, if you listen closely, you might even hear one singing.
Marine biologist Jim Darling has studied the songs of humpback whales for more than 25 years.
While recording whale songs on a boat near Hawaii, he invited author Douglas Chadwick to experience diving with a humpback. When swimming with the whale, Chadwick could see that the whale was aware of him, but not alarmed by his presence. The 13 meter long giant looked at him curiously but never harmed him. It pointed its head down to the ocean floor and, with flippers extended out to its sides, began to sing. In the water, Chadwick heard the whale's songs in a way he never heard them before. “Suddenly, I no longer heard the whale's voice in my ears，” he said. “I felt it inside my head and bones.”
While male humpback whales are mostly quiet in the summer, during winter migrations and breeding activities they sing long, complex patterns of sounds. The songs last between 5 and 20 minutes, sometimes lasting for 30 minutes or more, and are repeated note for note.
Darling says that only male humpbacks sing, but for unknown reasons. It was previously thought that they sang to attract females, but scientists showed this was incorrect when they played recordings of whale songs in the ocean and the female whales did not respond. Another idea is that male humpbacks compete with each other using songs, just as other male animals on land do using their antlers or tusks. However, they found all male whales in a group sing the same song when they're together. When one whale changes its tune, the rest of the group change to match.
They also found that some groups of whales repeat some of the same musical phrases even in regions thousands of kilometers away. In some years, the groups' songs were very different from one another, but in other years they were very similar.
There is still so much the scientists don't know, and years of study lies ahead for whale researchers like Jim Darling. “Why do I do it？” the wonders aloud. “Human beings like puzzles. I want to know.”
A．To arouse the readers' interest with detailed description.
B．To introduce the topic by explaining how the whales sing.
C．To inspire the readers to protect lovely humpback whales.
D．To present a peaceful scene of the life of humpback whales.
2．What can we infer from the third paragraph
A．Chadwick was attracted by the whale's song.
B．Chadwick lost his hearing when the whale sang.
C．The whale sang songs to frighten Chadwick away.
D．The whale's song healed Chadwick's bone disease.
3．Which of the following is true about humpback whales
A．They sing different songs every year.
B．Their songs are long and complicated.
C．They are popular with whale watchers.
D．Male whales sing to attract female ones.
4．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Explanations on how humpbacks interact with human.
B．How to make a record about humpback whales' songs.
C．Studies on humpback songs and what they might mean.
D．The scientists research on mysterious humpback whales.
B
(2021·杭州二中模拟)In the middle of a hot July afternoon, I became a thief of some sort—a thief of music.
For the first time, I created an original piano arrangement of one of my favorite songs. Using only my ears and iPad, I transformed a mix of sounds and melodies into the tones of a single instrument; I created complex harmonies (和声) and voices into something I could perform with only two hands. No help, no guide—I did it on my own.
I've been a pianist since my hands grew big enough to touch the piano. With my father as a musician, I was all but born on the piano bench. For many years, my musical identity was defined by the notes that others had written in the past centuries: elegant lines of neatly printed notes stamped across the sheet, music became the script I had to perform. I valued classical music—adored it—but I felt such performances were shallow. I had nothing of my own to contribute to the masterful compositions of Bach or Rachmaninov.
This was why, when I put the finishing touches to my piano version of a modern song, my pride was glorious: this arrangement was mine. What I'd done seemed magical: an ability to take what had already existed—to “steal” a song from my favorite band—and to change it into something different all on my own. I was a thief but I was also an artist.
In music, as in other aspects of life, I believe that true originality rarely exists. Almost everything has been done before, in one form or another. The most passionate romance novel may be a slightly changed version of a play written by Shakespeare, which in turn was borrowed from the writers of Ancient Greece: the same themes, different characters, and different circumstances. But the novel no less deserves praise just because its uniqueness is compromised.
The gift of creativity is just like the ability to do what I did on the piano: to find out something beautiful, to analyze and change it and lose yourself in the mystery of its composition, and then to make it new. Such an act is not copying; it is finding inspiration and having the strength and the innovation to use it as fuel for your own masterpiece.
5．Why did the author create the piano arrangement
A．Because he was not satisfied with the old one.
B．Because he wanted to create music of his own.
C．Because he was tired of his father's music teaching method.
D．Because he wanted to show respect for Bach and Rachmaninov.
6．By mentioning Shakespeare, the author wants to tell us ________．
A．there is no true creativity in music
B．Shakespeare's plays are totally original
C．many of Shakespeare's plays deserve no praise
D．originality is connected with what has already existed
7．We can conclude from the passage that ________．
A．creativity is to find something beautiful
B．adaptation has nothing to do with creativity
C．a masterpiece can be a changed version of an existed work
D．common people don't have the ability to create something new

Fortune Cookie Friends
Jenny frowned (皱眉) as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a dumb idea，” Jenny complained mostly to herself.
“What's that？” her mother asked，opening a box and lifting several pots out.
“Nothing，” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know, and it seemed like the students hadn't even noticed her. Jenny sighed and got back to washing dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Jenny's parents were all smiling, welcoming customers into the restaurant brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny's age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny ducked her head so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
Jenny's mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.
“Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out to be with the customers.”
“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There are kids from school！”
“So？” her mother asked. “That's good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello！” She said to Jenny，pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read：“Many friends are found with a single smile.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Jenny absently read the fortune cookie paper.
