Can you think of a day without music We can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. People all over the world are fond of music. They listen to music, they dance to music, and they learn to play musical instruments.
Music isn't only a combination of pleasant sounds. It is an art which reflects life. There are lots of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern. Folk music appeared long ago, but it is still alive. Folk songs are very pleasant to listen to. Classical music is often associated with the music of the past. Rap is a modern musical style where the singer speaks or shouts the words in time to music with a steady beat.
Great Britain has produced more popular music stars than any other country. British groups often set new trends in music. New styles, groups and singers continue to appear. Many of the new bands have been able to use changes in technology to develop their music such as computerised drum machines, synthesisers and other electronic instruments.
Tastes differ. So people's musical interests range from pop and rock music to classical music and opera. My favourite style of music is pop music, because it is full of energy. When I listen to pop music it makes me remember happy times and forget the problems of everyday life. I also enjoy listening to classical music. The music I hate is heavy metal—I find it noisy. When I listen to this style of music it presents pictures of dark days to my mind. My mother and father agree with my tastes in music. Though they prefer to listen to classical music, they think that modern music is not too bad.
Music appeals to our hearts. It comforts our souls and enriches our minds. Music is beauty in sounds; it is our magic source of inspiration.
4.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.Several types of music.
B.Different musical tastes.
C.The development of musical styles.
D.The importance of music in our lives.
5.How is the second paragraph developed
A.By giving examples. B.By analysing reasons.
C.By describing courses. D.By making comparisons.
6.Why does the author like pop music
A.It is played with electronic instruments.
B.It is characterised by a steady beat.
C.It is loud and strong.
D.It sounds energetic.
7.What is the author's parents' attitude towards his musical tastes
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Dissatisfied. D.Unconcerned.
Ⅱ.七选五

Giacomo Puccini was born in 1858 and was a son of a musical director. 1 He is remembered as a master of opera.
2 Many early forerunners(先驱)of Impressionist Music including Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Schoenberg and Stravinsky, inspired him greatly.
Turandot, an opera based on an Italian drama by the same name, is by far considered to be one of Puccini's most popular and most performed works. It's a pity that Puccini had no chance to watch his own great opera himself. 3
In this opera you can hear a traditional Chinese folk song, which is titled Molihua or Jasmine Flower. 4 Among them the version sung in Jiangsu, a province in the south of China, is the most popular one. By admiring the jasmine flower, the song celebrates the sweetness and beauty of romantic love. 5 In 1804 the song was published in a book by a British diplomat, making it the first Chinese folk song that gained popularity outside China.
A.Turandot is performed regularly all over the world.
B.At the end of the 18th century, it was first translated into English.
C.It's believed that Puccini's operas are strong in emotion and conflict.
D.The opera was first performed in 1926, two years after Puccini's death.
E.During his music career, Puccini was also influenced by other musicians.
F.Though Puccini received training in various areas of music, his true love was in opera.
G.There are many different versions of Molihua or Jasmine Flower in different parts of China.

Ⅰ.A
◎语篇解读 本文为一篇应用文,主要介绍了四个有关音乐的项目。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句Want to find out about a new band, or just want more information about an old favourite 可知,Archived Images可以给大家提供许多关于某人最喜爱的乐队的信息。故选C。Rave-on!中提到“video clips of band members”,指的是“乐队成员”,所以排除A项;其余两项都没有提到有关“乐队”的信息。
2.C 推理判断题。根据Show-in-a-day!部分的最后一句Get your friends and family to come and see you perform, as no video or photography is allowed.可知,请你的朋友和家人来看你的表演,因为不允许录像和摄影,所以Show-in-a-day!是不提供视频录像的;然后根据Rhythm-studio最后一句可知,在屏幕上从我们专业的舞蹈教练那里学习你的舞步,然后观看你的表演,成为你自己的录像中的明星,并且你可以带走自己的录像,所以Rhythm-studio这个地方是允许录像的,并且还能带走录像。由此推断出,Rhythm-studio与Show-in-a-day!的不同之处就在于前者允许录像,并且允许带走录像。所以C项“Rhythm-studio允许人们把录像带回家”符合题意。故选C。
3.A 推理判断题。根据文章的结构及内容可知,这篇文章主要介绍了四个有关音乐的项目。由此可推断出,这是在给这四个项目做宣传,所以A项“在报纸上”符合题意。B项“在报告中”;C项“在科学杂志上”;D项“在旅游手册上”,均与文章内容不符。故选A。
【高频词汇】 1. instructions n.用法说明;操作指南 2.instrument n.乐器;仪器;工具 3.technique n.技术;手法 4.possessions n.个人财产;私人物品 5.souvenir n.纪念品;礼物 6.professional adj.专业的;职业的
原句 Try our Professional Selection, with video clips of band members who will explain the techniques that make their recordings so extraordinary! 分析 本句中who引导定语从句,修饰先行词band members;that make their recordings so extraordinary是that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词techniques。 句意 尝试我们的专业选择,里面有乐队成员解释使他们的录音如此非凡的技术的视频片断。

4.D 主旨大意题。根据第一段可知,我们在任何地方都能听到音乐:在街上和家里,通过收音机和电视,在商店和公园。全世界的人都喜欢音乐。他们听音乐,跟着音乐跳舞,学习演奏乐器。由此推断出,第一段主要讲的是音乐在我们生活中的重要性。故选D。A项“几种类型的音乐”是第二段介绍的内容;B项“不同的音乐品味”是第四段介绍的内容;C项“音乐风格的发展”文章里没有提及。
5. A 推理判断题。根据第二段第三、四句There are lots of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern. 可知,有很多不同种类的音乐。有些是很久以前出现的,有些是现代的。然后介绍了民间音乐、民歌、古典音乐和说唱音乐四种类型的音乐。由此可推知,本段是通过举例子说明不同的音乐类型的。故选A。B项“通过分析原因”;C项“通过描述课程”;D项“通过作比较”,都与第二段结构不相符。
6. D 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句My favourite style of music is pop music, because it is full of energy.可知,作者最喜欢的音乐类型是流行音乐,因为它充满活力。即作者喜欢流行音乐是因为它听起来使人精力充沛。full of energy与D项中的energetic为同义表达,故选D。根据第三段最后一句可知许多新乐队利用电子乐器来发展他们的音乐,但这不是作者喜欢流行音乐的原因,所以排除A项;根据第二段最后一句Rap is a modern musical style where the singer speaks or shouts the words in time to music with a steady beat.可知,“歌手以稳定的节拍随着音乐的节奏说出或喊出歌词”是说唱音乐的风格,所以排除B项;文章中没有提及流行音乐是“响亮有力的”,所以排除C项。
7.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两句My mother and father agree with my tastes in music. Though they prefer to listen to classical music, they think that modern music is not too bad.可知,作者的父母赞成他在音乐方面的品味。虽然他们更喜欢听古典音乐,但他们认为现代音乐还不错。由此可推知,作者的父母对他的音乐品味是持支持态度的。故选B。A项“怀疑的”;C项“不满意的”;D项“漠不关心的”。
【高频词汇】 1.combination n. 结合;组合 2.reflect v.反映;反射 3.classical adj.古典的;经典的;传统的 4.be associated with 与……有关,与……有联系 5.appeal to 对……有吸引力;呼吁;上诉
原句 Rap is a modern musical style where the singer speaks or shouts the words in time to music with a steady beat. 分析 这是一个主从复合句。where引导定语从句,修饰先行词style。 句意 说唱音乐是一种现代音乐风格,歌手以稳定的节拍随着音乐的节奏说出或喊出歌词。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了歌剧大师Giacomo Puccini,他创作了《图兰朵》,在这部歌剧中,你可以听到一首中国传统民歌,叫作《茉莉花》,同时文章还介绍了《茉莉花》这首歌的一些背景知识。
1.F 根据上文Giacomo Puccini was born in 1858 and was a son of a musical director.可知, Giacomo Puccini出生于1858年,是一个指挥家的儿子;结合后文He is remembered as a master of opera.可知,他作为一位歌剧大师而出名。所以推断出,本句承接上文继续介绍Giacomo Puccini的个人情况。因此F项“尽管Puccini接受过各种音乐领域的培训,但他真正热爱的是歌剧”符合语境,承上启下。故选F。
2.E 根据后文内容可知,许多印象主义音乐的先驱者,包括Rimsky-Korsakov、Strauss、Schoenberg和Stravinsky,都给了他很大的启发。由此可知,本段介绍了给Puccini启发的一些音乐家。E项中“other musicians”与此处“Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Schoenberg and Stravinsky”呼应,所以E项“在他的音乐生涯中,Puccini也受到了其他音乐家的影响”符合语境,引起下文。故选E。
3.D 根据上文It's a pity that Puccini had no chance to watch his own great opera himself.可知,遗憾的是,Puccini没有机会亲自观看他自己的伟大歌剧。由此可知,本句承接上文具体说明Puccini没有亲自看到自己的歌剧的原因,是因为这部歌剧是在他去世之后上演的。所以D项“这部歌剧在1926年首次上演,也就是Puccini去世两年之后”符合语境,承接上文。故选D。
4.G 根据上文In this opera you can hear a traditional Chinese folk song, which is titled Molihua or Jasmine Flower.可知,在这部歌剧中,你可以听到一首中国传统民歌,叫作《茉莉花》;结合后文Among them the version sung in Jiangsu, a province in the south of China, is the most popular one.可知,其中最受欢迎的版本是在中国南方的江苏省传唱的一版。由此可知,本句承接上文说明《茉莉花》这首歌的信息,介绍《茉莉花》在中国不同地区有不同的版本。所以G项“在中国的不同地区有许多不同版本的《茉莉花》”符合语境,承上启下。故选G。
5.B 根据后文内容可知,1804年,这首歌被一名英国外交官出版成书,成为第一首在国外流行的中国民歌。由此可知,本句应当是在说明《茉莉花》这首歌在18世纪末第一次被翻译成英语以照应下文1804年出版。所以B项“在18世纪末,它第一次被翻译成英语”符合语境,故选B。
【高频词汇】 1.director n.(合唱团的)指挥;导演 2.be considered to be...被认为是…… 3.version n.版本 4.admire v.欣赏;钦佩;赞美 5.celebrate v.庆祝;赞美;歌颂
原句 In 1804 the song was published in a book by a British diplomat, making it the first Chinese folk song that gained popularity outside China. 分析 本句中making it the first Chinese folk song...是现在分词短语作结果状语;that gained popularity outside China是that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词song。 句意 1804年,这首歌被一名英国外交官出版在一本书中,使它成为第一首在国外流行的中国民歌。

There are many benefits of singing in a choir(合唱团). They range from the social benefit of having the opportunity 1 (make) new friends to the physical benefit of learning to breathe 2 (proper). Research has also shown that young people 3 sing in choirs do better in studies and have a tendency to be 4 (healthy).
But the first question you should ask yourself if you are considering 5 (join) a choir is “Can I sing in tune ” It might seem obvious, but unless you can, there is little point in seeking out 6 choir because you'll only get rejected. Every choir you apply to join is going to audition(面试)you. Don't worry if you can't read music; that can be taught later. If you 7 (accept), you'll find choir practices to be hard work, 8 great fun, because they're social events as well as music training. You will learn to read music and how to sing 9 confidence. Your voice and technique will probably develop quite quickly with proper instruction, and you may just end up wondering 10 you didn't do this years ago.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2020北京首师大附中高一分班考,)
Twenty-five young musicians from around the world have come to California to train and perform this month. They will take part in an international program called iPalpiti. The name comes from the Italian word for heartbeats.
Eduard Schmieder is the program's conductor and musical director. Schmieder and his wife started the program in 1997 with the help of violinist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin.
This year, the musicians come from 19 countries, including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Israel and Italy. Schmieder notes some of the musicians are from countries that are at war with each other. And they are sitting next to each other, and become friends. He says through their music and friendship, they are making the world more peaceful.
The musicians taking part in the program range in age from their late teens to their 30s. They include winners of major music competitions. Peter Rainer is a violin player from Germany. He serves as the concertmaster, the link between the musicians and conductor. “It's so great that you have so many sensitive musicians. They are all very alert(警觉的)and awake and listen to each other, and it's a lot of fun,” Turkish viola player Can Sakul said. “The international group works well together.” “The experience is a cultural as well as a musical exchange,” said Russian violinist Semyon Promoe. “Everyone has their own opinion of music and how to play every composition. It's very interesting to interact with everybody, to play together and to create one opinion for everybody. We feel at ease.”
This year, the festival focuses on music from the 1600s to the 1900s. But cello player Franciaco Vila from Ecuador said the music had no geographic boundaries. Vila added that the musicians got to know more about each other as they performed great music.
“It's interesting to see where we intersect(相交)and how many things we have in common. And the music world is quite small, so you're only one person away from knowing everyone else,” Can Sakul said. “The musicians who have taken part in the training and festival make up a big family.” He added that he was proud to be part of it.
1.When was the program founded
A.This month. B.In the 1600s.
C.In Schmieder's late teens. D.In 1997.
2.Mentioning that “some of the musicians are from countries that are at war with each other”, Schmieder intends to present that .
A.musicians continue to fight in competitions
B.music makes the world more harmonious
C.musicians are from different countries
D.the world is not peaceful
3.What does the underlined word “sensitive” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Flexible. B.Artificial.
C.Brilliant. D.Energetic.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.Musicians have much in common
B.A national music program
C.Music has no geographic boundaries
D.Music competitions during war
Ⅱ.七选五
(2020甘肃武威高一期末,)
Music makes you more creative. 1 , they come up with more creative solutions, according to researchers. It may be because music improves your brain's flexibility. Another reason may be that it relaxes you enough for the creative juices to flow. But don't play music too loudly.
Music can help during surgery. 2 . After surgery, it helps reduce pain. An analysis of 73 studies confirmed that listening to music before, during or after surgery reduced anxiety and pain levels, which in turn meant less pain medication.
3 . Studies have found that when you're running, biking or walking, you'll go farther with music on. Music relieves your discomfort and motivates you to stay on. The effect is so obviously great that the author of a review examining the psychological effects of music on exercise called music “a type of legal performance-improvement drug”.
Music aids sleep. Listening to music before bed can help you fall asleep faster and wake up less often during the night. 4 . In one study, seniors with sleep problems who listened to 45 minutes of soft slow music before bed reported a 35 percent improvement in their sleep.
Music gets you to ignore the passing of time. Scientists have shown repeatedly that people judge a period of waiting shorter when music is playing. Businessmen use that to their advantage, playing music so you will stay longer and spend more. For instance, more drinks and food are sold in bars and restaurants when music is played. 5 , grocery sales increase by 38 percent.
A.In this case, you'll feel more relaxed in the morning
B.And if the background music is slow
C.Then you play a piece of brief music
D.When people listen to happy music rather than when they sit in silence
E.When music is played varying from a tune to another
F.Music makes you get rid of the idea of quitting a workout
G.Listening to music before surgery has been shown to ease anxiety

Ⅲ.概要写作
(2021浙江杭州模拟,)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Throughout history, music spread among people of different cultures. In today's technologically advanced society, however, people spread music online, sometimes without an artist's permission. This can lead to many problems, and music companies are now dealing with this practice. Sharing music online without permission is a theft.
Sharing music online prevents recording companies from making money through their efforts. They say that sharing music online has led to a huge drop in profits and sales over the past 10 years. People who find music for free online are not paying for CDs or every downloaded MP3. To truly understand the influence of music piracy(盗版行为)on creators, we must understand how many people are involved in the recording process. For the sale of each album, profits must be shared between musicians, sound engineers, music producers, managers, advertisers, and the company selling the product. Many people believe sharing music only affects the recording artist, but the reality is that sharing hurts the business of all companies involved.
There are many people who don't see the harm in sharing music online and even think they have the right to do it. One online blogger states that he originally paid for an entire CD and that he should be able to do with the material whatever he wants. While he may have legally paid for the music, he does not have the right to provide permission, which means people like the blogger are thieves.
Although we don't spread today's music the same way we did before, there's no doubt that people around the world love to share music. However, Internet piracy would prevent musicians from continuing producing albums for fear of theft. Therefore, if people want to continue listening to their favorite artists, they need to buy their music so that artists will make enough profits to continue their music careers.

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了音乐人Schmieder创建了一个由各国不同年龄的音乐家组成的团队,希望他们的音乐和友谊使世界更加和平。
1.D 细节理解题。由第二段中的Schmieder and his wife started the program in 1997 with the help of violinist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin.一句可知Schmieder和妻子在1997年开始了这个项目,故选D。
2.B 推理判断题。由第三段中的Schmieder notes some of the musicians are from countries that are at war with each other. And they are sitting next to each other, and become friends. He says through their music and friendship, they are making the world more peaceful.可知一些来自交战国的音乐家们坐在一起,成了朋友。通过他们的音乐和友谊,这个世界会更和平。因此,Schmieder想以此表达音乐使世界更和谐。故选B。
3.C 词义猜测题。由上文They include winners of major music competitions.和下文They are all very alert and awake and listen to each other, and it's a lot of fun可知,参加这个项目的音乐家都是非常有悟性、有成就的人。句中的sensitive意为“感觉敏锐的;有悟性的”,与brilliant同义,故选C。flexible意为“灵活的”;artificial意为“人造的;虚假的”;energetic意为“精力充沛的”。
4.C 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了音乐人Schmieder创建了一个由各国不同年龄的音乐家组成的团队,希望他们的音乐和友谊使世界更和平。C项“音乐没有地域界限”表达了本文主题,适合作为标题。故选C。A项“音乐家有很多共同之处”;B项“一个国家音乐项目”;D项“战争期间的音乐竞赛”。
【高频词汇】 1.take part in参加 2.at war在交战中 3.focus on关注 4.add vt.补充说 5.make up组成 6.have sth. in common有(某方面)共同之处
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了听音乐的一些好处,包括使人更有创造力,有助于降低手术前、手术中或手术后的焦虑和疼痛程度,让人更能坚持锻炼以及辅助睡眠等等。
1.D 根据下文可知,他们会想出更有创意的解决方案,这可能是因为音乐提高了其大脑的灵活性。另一个原因可能是它能让你足够放松,让你的创造性思维得以流动。故D项(当人们听着快乐的音乐,而不是静静地坐着时)符合上下文语境,且符合该句的语法结构,即该处应该用时间状语从句。故选D。
2.G 根据下文“手术后,它有助于减轻疼痛。”及该段主题句Music can help during surgery.可知,此空既要符合本段主旨,又要与下文有效衔接。故G项(手术前听音乐已被证明可以缓解焦虑)符合语境。故选G。
3.F 根据下文“研究发现,当你跑步、骑自行车或走路时,你会随着音乐行进得更远。音乐缓解你的不适,激励你坚持下去。”可知,此空应体现本段主旨,且形式上与各段主题句保持统一,F项(音乐让你摆脱放弃锻炼的念头)符合条件,故选F。
4.A 根据上文“音乐辅助睡眠。睡前听音乐可以帮助你更快入睡,减少夜间醒来的次数。”可知,音乐有助于睡眠质量的提高,那么结果就是人们早上醒来会感到更放松。故A项(在这种情况下,你会在早上感到更放松)符合上下文语境,故选A。
5.B 根据上文“科学家们已经反复证明,当播放音乐时,人们判断一段等待的时间会变短。商人利用这一点,播放音乐,这样你就会待得更久,花费得更多。”以及下文“食品杂货的销售额会增加38%”可知,本段在说背景音乐的好处。故B项(如果背景音乐是舒缓的)符合上下文递进的逻辑关系。故选B。
【高频词汇】 1.creative adj.创造性的 2.come up with提出,想出 3.confirm vt.证实;确认 4.in turn相应地;轮流 5.relieve vt.减轻,缓和 6.fall asleep入睡 7.in silence沉默地 8.get rid of摆脱
原句 The effect is so obviously great that the author of a review examining the psychological effects of music on exercise called music “a type of legal performance-improvement drug”. 分析 该句是一个主从复合句,so...that...引导结果状语从句;examining the psychological effects of music on exercise为现在分词短语作定语修饰review。 句意 这种效果明显非常好,以至于一篇调查音乐对锻炼产生的心理影响的报告的作者把音乐称为“一种合法的提升表现的药物”。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。主题语境是人与社会。文章讲了未经许可在网上共享音乐是一种盗窃行为,会导致很多问题。在网上分享音乐阻止了唱片公司通过自己的努力赚钱。共享音乐会损害所有相关公司的业务。许多人没有意识到网上分享音乐的危害,甚至认为他们有权利这样做。如果人们想要继续听他们最喜欢的艺术家的音乐,他们需要购买他们的音乐,这样艺术家才能获得足够的利润来继续他们的音乐事业。
脉络分析
写作建议
概要写作要求学生使用自己的语言将350词左右的短文概括为60词左右的短文,也就是说,要用简洁准确的语言表述原文大意。所以,写作时既要词数少,又要尽可能多地包含要点与次要点。学生要学会写出“多枝共干”结构的长句,可以通过句型与词汇(构词法)、减少谓语动语的使用来合并重构。具体可以通过以下方法:
(1)转换词性;
(2)使用非谓语动词作主语、状语、定语,少用从句;
(3)使用介词短语代替从句;
(4)使用并列成分;
(5)使用省略句。
One possible version:
Sharing music online without permission is a theft, which can cause many problems.(要点1) It mainly affects the recording companies, preventing them from making money.(要点2) However, many people don't see the bad effects, and some of them even think they have the right to do that.(要点3) So, to continue listening to their favorite artists, people need to buy their music so that artists will make enough profits to continue their music careers.(要点4)

One possible version:
Dear Peter,
How's it going I'm glad you asked me about the characteristics of Chinese classical music and the instruments with which it is played.
Chinese classical music is really fascinating. Firstly, just as Chinese characters, the same pronunciation with different tunes will convey different meanings. Secondly, it is closely connected with Chinese poetry, so those famous pieces often come with a poetic title. As for the classical instruments, we prefer to use the erhu, Chinese lute and Chinese zither. If you like them, you can learn to play them.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
