About 20 years ago, Daniel Hoffman, a classically trained violinist met a young musician playing in the town square in Marrakech, an ancient city in Morocco. They communicated in the little French they both knew, but their main common language was music. On the back of a motorbike of the fellow violinist, Hoffman weaved through the back streets of the city and then learned his first lessons in Andalusian music, the classical music of North Africa.
That experience gave birth to an idea: What would it be like to try to learn how to play different violin styles around the world in just one week Oh, yes, and at the end of that week, play a concert. He even got a name for the concept “musical extreme sports”.
It took him almost two decades to launch that dream with a friend, who introduced him to the wonders of Kickstarter, a funding platform for creative projects. Up to now, the dream has taken the form of a new documentary currently airing on American public television stations called “Otherwise. It’s Just Firewood.”
In the documentary, Hoffman travels to County Clare, Ireland, where he takes lessons with James Kelly, a master Irish violin player, for less than a week and then performs together with him in front of an audience; many of whom are star Irish musicians.
The film is what Hoffman hopes will be the first of an eventual series of short documentaries, showing him learning to play the violin in a variety of styles, including the folk music of south India, Sweden, Greece, Romania, and West Virginia.
That would add to his extensive repertoire (全部曲目), which already includes Balkan, Middle Eastern, and Turkish styles. “The big joke is what’s the difference between the fiddle and the violin It’s the person who plays it,” says Niall Keegan, a traditional flute player. “It’s the music you make on it that makes it Irish or English or French or classical or jazz or whatever else. It’s how we imagine it and how we create through it that make it and give it character.”
“Otherwise, it’s Just Firewood.” he says, words that became the film’s title.
4. Where does Hoffman’s idea of musical extreme sports come from
A. His sightseeing tour on a motorbike seat.
B. His exploration of the local music.
C. His constantly changing taste in violin styles.
D. His cooperation with the young violinist.
5. What did Hoffman think of his own idea
A. Influential. B. Time-consuming. C. Challenging. D. Controversial.
6. According to the passage, the series of documentaries ________.
A. record Hoffman’s experience in learning various violin styles
B. help Hoffman to become a master violin player
C. are funded by American public television stations
D. introduce different styles of musicians around the world
7. The title of the documentary “Otherwise, It’s Just Firewood.” is used to emphasize ________.
A. the power of diversified artistic expression B. the pleasure in learning traditional music
C. the technique of instrument playing D. the importance of famous artists
C
We’ve all felt the tap to the soul you get from driving by your old high school or hearing a tune you once danced to. But why is that feeling so universal
Nostalgia, a combination of the Greek words nostos (homecoming) and algos (pain), was a special type of homesickness associated with soldiers fighting far-off wars. Seventeenth century physicians worried such thoughts put health at risk. In the 19th century, doctors believed it could cause irregular heartbeat, fever, and death.
Our understanding of nostalgia has developed since then. “It’s a very mixed emotion,” says Frederick Barrett, a neuroscientist. That makes it hard to fit into existing theory, which typically categorizes emotions as either positive or negative. And triggers—the cars, music or smells—are extremely personal. Therefore, designing a standardized study is difficult.
But we do know nostalgia has a marked effect on us: brain imaging studies show that those experiences have their own neural signature. Neuroscientists argued that the emotion is co-produced by the brain’s recall and reward systems. They found that nostalgic images use the memory-managing hippocampus (海马区) more than other sights, as people mine autobiographical (个人经历的) details deep in the past. This mental effort pays off: as the hippocampus activates, so does one of the brain’s reward centers.
That longing for the past might be a protective mechanism, says Tim Wildschut, a professor. His work also suggests a more primitive purpose for the feeling: it developed to remind our ancient ancestors of pleasant physical feelings during periods of discomfort and pain.
Recent research suggests the occasional look backwards can give us a boost in unnoticeable ways: by increasing self-respect and protecting against depression. Nostalgia’s apparent power to jump-start one’s memory also seems to improve recall ability in people with Alzheimer’s disease.
New flavors of “reminiscence therapy” (回忆疗法) are emerging around the world. In 2018, the George G. Glenner Alzheimer’s Family Centers opened its first Town Square, an adult daycare facility designed to look like a small town in 1950s America. Though Town Square has yet to publish peer-reviewed data on the success of the program, clients say it has helped seniors access dusty memories and reconnect with loved ones.
Scientists need a lot more information to adequately characterize this complex and bittersweet feeling. But while centuries of doctors considered nostalgia a deadly disease, we now know: it can help us make it through today.
8. What can we learn about nostalgia
A. It was a well-defined scientific idea. B. It’s more common among soldiers.
C. It was first discovered in Greece. D. It’s set off by personal experiences.
9. What does the underlined word “triggers” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Categories. B. Effects. C. Causes. D. Characteristics.
10. In what way might nostalgia benefit people
A. It protects people from Alzheimer’s disease. B. It helps ease people’s discomfort.
C. It gives seniors a sense of security. D. It improves people’s learning ability.
11. Where is the text probably from
A. Textbook. B. Scientific magazine. C. Autobiography. D. Laboratory report.
D
A study led by The University of Edinburgh researchers found that the performance of runners who listened to self-selected music as they ran after completing a demanding thinking task was at the same level as when they were not mentally tired. The findings of the study were published in the Journal of Human Sport and Exercise.
Researchers used two tests to study how listening to music affected the running performance of fitness enthusiasts. One test looked at the effects on the interval running ability—alternating between high intensity (强度) running and lower intensity jogging—with a group of nine exercisers, and the other on a 5 km time trial with a group of nine trained runners. The groups completed a 30-minute computer-based cognitive (认知的) test which put them in a mentally worn state before completing high intensity exercise. They were tested with and without motivational music which they selected.
Taking into account the results of a baseline test taken by participants that they did without completing a mentally demanding test beforehand and without music, the researchers found the interval running ability of the mentally worn fitness enthusiasts was slightly greater with music compared to that without music, and was the same as when the participants were not mentally tired. The 5 km time trial performance also showed small improvements with self-selected music compared to no music.
Dr. Shaun Phillips, of The University of Edinburgh’s Moray House School of Education and Sport, said, “Feeling tired mentally is a common occurrence for many of us, and can negatively affect many of our daily activities, including exercise. Finding safe and effective ways to reduce this negative impact is therefore useful. The research showing that listening to self-selected motivational music can help active people improve their endurance (耐力) running ability and performance when mentally worn out may provide a useful strategy.”
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the study
A. Its purpose. B. Its principle. C. Its process. D. Its participants.
13. Why did the researchers consider the baseline test
A. To prove that their finding is useful.
B. To offer evidence to support their study.
C. To make a comparison with their test results.
D. To find links between music and mental health.
14. What is Dr. Shaun Phillips’ attitude towards the research
A. Approving. B. Tolerant. C. Critical. D. Carefree.
15. Which of the following can serve as the best title
A. Being Mentally Tired Is a Common Feeling
B. Listening to Music Benefits Mental Health
C. Exercise Regularly Improves Mental Condition
D. Running to Music Reduces Mental Tiredness

They communicated in the little French they both knew, but their main common language was music. On the back of a motorbike of the fellow violinist, Hoffman weaved through the back streets of the city and then learned his first lessons in Andalusian music, the classical music of North Africa.
That experience gave birth to an idea: What would it be like to try to learn how to play different violin styles around the world in just one week Oh, yes, and at the end of that week, play a concert. He even got a name for the concept “musical extreme sports”.

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“‘The big joke is what's the difference between the fiddle and the violin?It's the person who plays it,’ says Niall Keegan,a traditional flute player.’ It’s the music you make on it that makes it Irish or English or French or classical or jazz or whatever else. It’s how we imagine it and how we create through it that make it and give it character.’(‘最大的笑话是fiddle和violin有什么区别?’传统长笛演奏家尼尔 基根说:‘演奏的人是最重要的。是你在上面演奏的音乐让它成为了爱尔兰音乐、英国音乐、法国音乐、古典音乐、爵士乐或其他的音乐。是我们如何想象它,如何通过它来创造,使它变得有特色。’)”可推知,小提琴的价值在于多元的艺术表现,你在上面演奏的音乐赋予它个性,所以纪录片的标题“Otherwise,It’s Just Firewood”强调了多元艺术表达的力量。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了怀旧,这种由个人经历引发的情绪,它可以帮助我们面对不愉快的情况。但科学家需要更多的信息来充分描述这种复杂又苦乐参半的感觉。几个世纪以来,医生们都认为怀旧是一种致命的疾病,但我们现在知道:它可以帮助我们度过当下。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“And triggers-the cars,music or smells-areextremely personal.(而诱因——汽车、音乐或气味——则是极其私人的)”可知,引发怀旧的诱因因人而异,所以怀旧是由个人的经历引发的。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。文章第三段““It’s a very mixed emotion,” says Frederick Barrett, a neuroscientist. That makes it hard to fit into existing theory, which typically categorizes emotions as either positive or negative.(“这是一种非常复杂的情绪,”神经科学家弗雷德里克·巴雷特说。这使得很难符合现有的理论,该理论通常将情绪分为积极或消极。)”可知,怀旧是一种很复杂的情绪,不符合现有的理论,下文“And triggers—the cars, music or smells—are extremely personal.(triggers——汽车、音乐或气味——则是极其私人的)”承接上文,对上文作出解释,即怀旧不符合现有的理论,这是因为,汽车、音乐或气味等这些引起怀旧的诱因都是非常私人的。由此可知划线单词的意思是“诱因,原因”,故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“That longing for the past might be a protective mechanism, says Tim Wildschut, professor. His work also suggests a more primitive purpose for the feeling: it developed to remind our ancient ancestors of pleasant physical feelings during periods of discomfort and pain.(教授Tim Wildschut说,对过去的渴望可能是一种保护机制。他的研究还表明了这种感觉的一个更原始的目的:它的发展是为了提醒我们古老的祖先在不舒服和痛苦的时候愉快的身体感觉。)”和第六段“Recent research suggests the occasional look backwards can give us a boost in unnoticeable ways: by increasing self-respect and protecting against depression.(最近的研究表明,偶尔的回顾可以在不引人注意的方面给我们带来帮助:增强自尊,防止抑郁)”可知怀旧是一种保护机制,在不舒服和痛苦时提醒愉快的感觉,可以增强自尊,防止抑郁等,由此可推知,怀旧对人们的好处是它有助于缓解人们的不适。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了怀旧,这种由个人经历引发的情绪,它可以帮助我们面对不愉快的情况。但科学家需要更多的信息来充分描述这种复杂又苦乐参半的感觉。尤其最后一段“Scientists need a lot more information to adequately characterize this complex and bittersweet feeling.(科学家需要更多的信息来充分描述这种复杂而苦乐参半的感觉。)”可知文章可能来自科学杂志。故选B。
D
A study led by The University of Edinburgh researchers found that the performance of runners who listened to self-selected music as they ran after completing a demanding thinking task was at the same level as when they were not mentally tired. The findings of the study were published in the Journal of Human Sport and Exercise.
Researchers used two tests to study how listening to music affected the running performance of fitness enthusiasts. One test looked at the effects on the interval running ability—alternating between high intensity (强度) running and lower intensity jogging—with a group of nine exercisers, and the other on a 5 km time trial with a group of nine trained runners. The groups completed a 30-minute computer-based cognitive (认知的) test which put them in a mentally worn state before completing high intensity exercise. They were tested with and without motivational music which they selected.
Taking into account the results of a baseline test taken by participants that they did without completing a mentally demanding test beforehand and without music, the researchers found the interval running ability of the mentally worn fitness enthusiasts was slightly greater with music compared to that without music, and was the same as when the participants were not mentally tired. The 5 km time trial performance also showed small improvements with self-selected music compared to no music.
Dr. Shaun Phillips, of The University of Edinburgh’s Moray House School of Education and Sport, said, “Feeling tired mentally is a common occurrence for many of us, and can negatively affect many of our daily activities, including exercise. Finding safe and effective ways to reduce this negative impact is therefore useful. The research showing that listening to self-selected motivational music can help active people improve their endurance (耐力) running ability and performance when mentally worn out may provide a useful strategy.”
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the study
A. Its purpose. B. Its principle. C. Its process. D. Its participants.
13. Why did the researchers consider the baseline test
A. To prove that their finding is useful.
B. To offer evidence to support their study.
C. To make a comparison with their test results.
D. To find links between music and mental health.
14. What is Dr. Shaun Phillips’ attitude towards the research
A. Approving. B. Tolerant. C. Critical. D. Carefree.
15. Which of the following can serve as the best title
A. Being Mentally Tired Is a Common Feeling
B. Listening to Music Benefits Mental Health
C. Exercise Regularly Improves Mental Condition
D. Running to Music Reduces Mental Tiredness
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过实验得出选择励志音乐可以在精神疲惫的时候对跑步有益,可以减少精神的疲劳,并描述了实验的方法和过程。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第二段“Researchers used two tests to study how listening to music affected the running performance of fitness enthusiasts. One test looked at the effects on the interval running ability—alternating between high intensity(强度)running and lower intensity jogging—with a group of nine exercisers, and the other on a 5 km time trial with a group of nine trained runners. The groups completed a 30-minute computer-based cognitive (认知的) test which put them in a mentally worn state before completing high intensity exercise. They were tested with and without motivational music which they selected.(研究人员用两个测试来研究听音乐是如何影响健身爱好者的跑步表现的。一项测试观察了对间隔跑步能力的影响——在高强度(强度)跑步和低强度慢跑之间交替——一组九名锻炼者,另一项测试是5公里的时间试验中,由9名训练有素的跑步者进行的。这些小组完成了一个30分钟的基于电脑的认知测试,在完成高强度运动之前,这个测试使他们处于精神疲劳状态。他们在有和没有他们选择的励志音乐的情况下进行了测试)”可知本段讲述的是研究者们通过两个测试来做研究,同时讲述了所有测试的步骤和方法;故本段主要讲述的就是这个研究的过程。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Taking into account the results of a baseline test taken by participants that they did without completing a mentally demanding test beforehand and without music, the researchers found the interval running ability of the mentally worn fitness enthusiasts was slightly greater with music compared to that without music, and was the same as when the participants were not mentally tired. The 5 km time trial performance also showed small improvements with self-selected music compared to no music.(考虑参与者在没有事先完成高要求的精神测试和没有音乐的情况下进行的基线测试结果,研究人员发现精神疲劳的健身爱好者的间歇跑能力比没有音乐的情况下稍微强一些,并且与参与者没有精神疲劳的情况相同。5公里计时赛的表现中也显示有自选音乐的有小改进,与没有音乐相比)”推知,考虑基线测试的结果是为了与实验结果相比较,在对比下找出不同的结果以及造成这个结果的原因。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。 文章最后一段“Dr. Shaun Phillips, of The University of Edinburgh’s Moray House School of Education and Sport, said, “Feeling tired mentally is a common occurrence for-many of us, and can negatively affect many of our daily activities, including exercise. Finding safe and effective ways to reduce this negative impact is therefore useful. The research showing that listening to self-selected motivational music can help active people improve their endurance (耐力) running ability and performance when mentally worn out may provide a useful strategy.”(爱丁堡大学莫雷教育学院和体育部的肖恩·菲利普斯博士说:“对我们大多数人来说,感到精神疲劳是一种常见的现象,它会对我们的许多日常活动产生负面影响,包括锻炼。因此,找到安全有效的方法来减少这种负面影响是有益的。研究表明,听自己选择的励志音乐可以帮助活跃的人在精神疲惫时提高耐跑能力和表现,这可能提供一个有用的策略”)”可知Shaun Phillips博士认为通过这个实验得出了选择励志音乐可以在精神疲惫的时候对跑步有益,即有利于锻炼,这可能提供一个有用的策略。推知Shaun Phillips博士对这个实验的结果是表示赞许的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“A study led by The University of Edinburgh researchers found that the performance of runners who listened to self-selected music as they ran after completing a demanding thinking task was at the same level as when they were not mentally tired.(由爱丁堡大学研究人员领导的一项研究发现,在完成一项高要求的思考任务后,在跑步时听自选音乐的跑步者的表现与他们没有精神疲倦时的表现处于同一水平)”可知文章开头提出一个结论,即在完成一项高要求的思考任务后,在跑步时听自选音乐的跑步者的表现与他们没有精神疲倦时的表现处于同一水平,即跑步时选择自选音乐能够减少精神疲倦,跑步的表现与没有精神疲倦的表现是一样的水平,文章后面段落讲述了这项研究的实验方法和过程,全文都是在围绕这个话题来叙述的,故选项D“Running to Music Reduces Mental Tiredness(跑步听音乐可以减轻精神疲劳)”适合作为本文标题。故选D项。

【56题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:它讲述了中国共产党是如何在1921年由陈独秀那一代人成立的故事。how引导宾语从句,空处在从句中作谓语,中国共产党是被成立,且由“in 1921”可知,空格处用一般过去时的被动语态,主语“the Communist Party of China”是单数,因此空格处填was founded,故填was founded。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这个故事是如此鼓舞人心和感人,我不禁感到充满激情。由句子结构分析可知空格处用形容词作表语,主语“The story”是物,所以用形容词touching,意为“令人感动的,感人的”,故填touching。
【58题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:这个故事是如此鼓舞人心和感人,我不禁感到充满激情。短语can’t help doing sth意为“情不自禁……,忍不住……”符合句意,所以此处填feeling。故填feeling。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:在某种程度上,我真的感到与党有很深的联系。deep是形容词,修饰名词,空格处是名词connection,空前有a,因此空格处用单数形式。故填connection。
【60题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:毫无疑问,党帮助我提高了生活质量,促进了我的教育发展。句型There is no doubt that...意为“毫无疑问……”,在此句型中,that引导同位语从句 ,对doubt的内容进行说明,句中that只起连接作用,不担任任何句子成分,无词汇意义。所以此空that切合题意。故填that。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:我相信它会在我未来成长过程中继续为我提供支持。provide sb. with sth.为固定短语,意为“提供给某人某物”符合句意,故填with。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:参观了中国革命历史上一些最神圣的地方后,我开始更接近我的国家的政治认同感。句中谓语是began,空格处用非谓语形式,places和involve之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词involved表被动,作后置定语修饰名词places,故填involved。
【63题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:参观了中国革命历史上一些最神圣的地方后,我开始更接近我的国家的政治认同感。设空处在句中作表语,此处表示“更接近”应用close的比较级,close的比较级是closer,故填closer。
【64题详解】
考查时态。句意:现在我可以自豪地说,到目前为止,我已经了解了整个历史,熟悉了我们共产党几乎所有的故事。由句子结构分析可知设空处在从句中作谓语动词,根据句意以及句中的so far(到目前为止)可知应该用现在完成时,谓语动词的主语是I,故填have come。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:说实话,我真的很钦佩所有的党员,他们每一个人都为实现我们祖国的伟大复兴作出了贡献。分析句子结构可知,空格处是“介词+which/whom”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词“Party members”是人,因此空格处是whom,故填whom。
