Kendrick Lamar hasn’t had much luck when it comes to winning a Grammy. But that’s OK：The US rapper has just won a Pulitzer Prize for his music.
In 2014, in 2016, and again in 2018, Lamar was nominated (提名) for an album of the year Grammy. Each time, he was beaten out, first by Taylor Swift, next by Daft Punk, and most recently by Bruno Mars.
But the Pulitzer Prize committee was inspired enough by Lamar’s 2017 album, Damn., to award the Pulitzer Prize in music on April 16. It’s an amazing album that documents the real life of modern African Americans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.
Lamar’s win is considered to be historical. The Pulitzers have long displayed their preference towards high art rather than the pop culture of the masses. So it’s not just that no rapper has ever won a Pulitzer: no pop music maker has ever won one in the award’s history.
But Lamar is not just a singer—he’s clever at using language. Like the best writers, his music describes small moments that illustrate larger points. His songs are about his experience as a black man who grew up in California, struggled, got into trouble, and found his way out by working hard and making sense of the history and reality in the US.
“He’s an artist who challenges ideas，” said Ryan Coogler, director of the blockbuster (大片) Black Panther, for which Lamar created music. “One big theme in our film is this idea of ‘What does it mean to be African？’ Lamar in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question.”
Good artists entertain us, great artists make us think, and exceptional artists help us empathize (产生共鸣)．
There are a lot of good, great, even exceptional artists in rock, pop, country, and hip hop. But only Lamar has won a Pulitzer Prize.
1．What is Lamar’s album Damn. about
A．African Americans’ history and culture.
B．Hardships of the African American artists.
C．The ways the US government deal with problems.
D．The lives of modern black people in South Los Angeles.
2．Why is Lamar’s Pulitzer Prize win significant
A．He is the first film maker to win the prize.
B．It is considered a milestone for pop music.
C．He is the first black person to win the prize.
D．He has missed Grammy several times before.
3．What can we learn from Ryan Coogler’s words
A．Lamar drew inspiration from his own experience.
B．Lamar has the courage to take on big challenges in life.
C．Black Panther is well known because of Lamar’s music.
D．Lamar’s music matches the theme of Black Panther well.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。美国说唱歌手Kendrick Lamar以说唱歌手的身份获得了普利策奖。
1．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It’s an amazing album that documents the real life of modern African Americans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.”可知，Lamar的这张专辑主要讲述的是生活在洛杉矶南部的当代美籍非洲人的真实生活。故选D。
2．B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的内容，尤其是“Lamar’s win is considered to be historical.”和“no pop music maker has ever won one in the award’s history”可推知，Lamar获得普利策奖具有重大意义。故选B。
3．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第六段中Ryan Coogler说的话“One big theme in our film is this idea of ‘What does it mean to be African？’ Lamar in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question.”可知，Lamar的音乐与电影《Black Panther》主题相一致。故选D。

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先)．This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be gained any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
4．According to Paragraph 1, students ________.
A．regard music as a way of entertainment
B．disagree with their parents on education
C．view music as an ignored subject
D．prefer the arts to science
5．In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ________.
A．compare it with rock music
B．show music reflects a society
C．introduce American musical traditions
D．prove music influences people's lifestyles
6．According to the passage, the arts and science ________.
A．approach the world in different ways
B．explore different phenomena of the world
C．express people's feelings in different ways
D．explain what it means to be human differently
7．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Music education deserves more attention.
B．Music should be of top education priority.
C．Music is an effective communication tool.
D．Music education makes students more imaginative.
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。短文通过举例和对比的方法来证实：音乐教育对所有学生都是有益和重要的，远比人们想象的更为必要。
4.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。由第一段“Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority”可知，它常常被视为纯粹的娱乐，但肯定不是教育的优先选择。所以根据第一段，学生们把音乐当作一种娱乐方式，可知A选项正确。
5.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。由第二段“Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. ...It gives us identity as a society”可知，因为音乐是创造它的人的一种表达，它反映了他们的思想和价值观，以及它所来自的社会环境。它赋予我们作为一个社会成员的身份。所以通过对音乐的作用的说明，可以判断出， 在第二段中，作者以爵士乐为例来说明音乐反映了社会。故B选项正确。
6. 答案：A
解析：推理判断题。由第三段“Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world ”可知，科学可以解释太阳是如何升起和落下的。艺术探索同一现象的情感意义。我们需要一切可能的方法来发现和回应我们的世界。所以艺术和科学都是探讨这个世界的方法，只不过方式不同而已。故判断出，音乐和艺术以不同的方式在探讨着这个世界。故A选项正确。
7.答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段“In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.”以及最后一段“So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize”可知，音乐教育对所有学生都是有益和重要的。所以音乐教育远比人们意识到的要重要。所以短文通过举例和对比的方法来证实：音乐教育对所有学生都是有益和重要的，远比人们想象的更为必要，音乐教育更值得关注。故这段短文的主要意思是音乐教育更值得关注。故A选项正确。
II.七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence.They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment.
Have you heard of Bollywood All singing,all dancing and unrealistic,it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies.Bollywood is the Indian film industry,based in Mumbai,formerly known as Bombay. 1 Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world.
The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients:a cup of romance,a tea-spoon of comedy,a dash of international sight-seeing,served with a huge slice of singing and dancing.There will also be one brave hero,one beautiful heroine and one baddie. 2
Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 3 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song.But the audience don’t mind.To Indian movie lovers,especially the poor,such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods.The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles.The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.
4 Behind the beautiful scenes,Bollywood still emphasises(重视) traditional family values.In most films,if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage,they can’t just run away.They must win over their parents.
Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films. 5 They will take you to a brighter,cheerier and more colourful world,where it’s still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.
A.Bollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage.
B.There is never any mention of politics,poverty or war.
C.Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.
D.Bollywood films are mostly comic romances with light-hearted incidental(附带的) music.
E.Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values.
F.The result is a fun-filled musical.
G.So if you’re tired of all that Hollywood actions,check out the following Bollywood films.
1.C 根据下句中的Yet可知上下句存在转折关系。下句句意为“但是宝莱坞是世界上最大的电影生产商”,由此可知此处应为许多中国孩子或许还没有看过印度电影。故选C项。
2.F 本段主要介绍宝莱坞电影的典型特点,根据上文中的romance,comedy,singing and dancing可知选F项。
3.B 根据上句中的“full of ideal things and free of daily worries”可知选B项。
4.E 本段主要讲述宝莱坞重视传统的家庭价值观,故选E项。
5.A 根据上句中宝莱坞电影成为好莱坞电影的新的替代品,可知它的知名度越来越高。故选A项。
III.语法填空
A boy found a cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body 1. that little hole. Suddenly it stopped 2. (make) any progress because it 3. (stick). So he cut off the remaining part of the cocoon. 4. it had a swollen body and small wings, the butterfly then came out 5. (easy). The boy waited for the wings to become 6.

(need) by the butterfly were a way to prepare itself for flying once it was out of the cocoon.
Our struggles in life develop our strength, without 10. we never get stronger, so it’s important for us to handle challenges on our own, and not to rely on others for help.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇人生哲理类夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述一个故事抒发了自己的人生感悟：人只有奋斗才能变得更加强大。
1．through 解析：考查介词。蝴蝶挣扎着迫使它的身体穿过那个小洞，表示“穿过”要用介词through。
2．making 解析：考查非谓语动词。stop doing sth.的意思是“停止做某事”，其中的doing是动名词作宾语。
3．stuck 解析：考查动词的时态。突然，它停止了继续挣扎，因为它卡住了。根据stopped可知，此处应用一般过去时，故填stuck。
4．Although/Though 解析：考查连词。虽然它的身体肿胀，翅膀很小，但是它很容易就出来了。两个句子之间是一种逻辑上的让步关系，故填Although/Though。
5．easily 解析：考查副词。空处用来修饰前面的动词短语came out，作状语，因此要用副词形式。
6．larger 解析：考查形容词比较级。上文讲到蝴蝶的翅膀很小，等到它出来之后，男孩等着它的翅膀变得更大。所以要用形容词的比较级larger来作系动词become的表语。
7．a 解析：考查冠词。struggle是可数名词，表示“努力，斗争，奋斗”，a hard struggle表示“一场艰苦的奋斗”。
8．freedom 解析：考查名词。空处前面是形容词性物主代词its，形容词性物主代词后面要接名词，所以填名词freedom。
9．needed 解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用非谓语动词作定语，而动词need与the restricting cocoon and the struggle之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用过去分词作定语。
10．which 解析：考查定语从句。生活中的奋斗能增强我们的力量，没有这些奋斗，我们就不会变得更强大。空处应用关系代词，放在介词without之后，引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的先行词Our struggles，所以要用which。

In 2014, in 2016, and again in 2018, Lamar was nominated (提名) for an album of the year Grammy. Each time, he was beaten out, first by Taylor Swift, next by Daft Punk, and most recently by Bruno Mars.
But the Pulitzer Prize committee was inspired enough by Lamar’s 2017 album, Damn., to award the Pulitzer Prize in music on April 16. It’s an amazing album that documents the real life of modern African Americans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.
Lamar’s win is considered to be historical. The Pulitzers have long displayed their preference towards high art rather than the pop culture of the masses. So it’s not just that no rapper has ever won a Pulitzer: no pop music maker has ever won one in the award’s history.
But Lamar is not just a singer—he’s clever at using language. Like the best writers, his music describes small moments that illustrate larger points. His songs are about his experience as a black man who grew up in California, struggled, got into trouble, and found his way out by working hard and making sense of the history and reality in the US.
“He’s an artist who challenges ideas，” said Ryan Coogler, director of the blockbuster (大片) Black Panther, for which Lamar created music. “One big theme in our film is this idea of ‘What does it mean to be African？’ Lamar in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question.”
Good artists entertain us, great artists make us think, and exceptional artists help us empathize (产生共鸣)．
There are a lot of good, great, even exceptional artists in rock, pop, country, and hip hop. But only Lamar has won a Pulitzer Prize.

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先)．This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be gained any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
