Music comes in many forms, and most countries have a style of their own. The US is well known for jazz, which has gained worldwide popularity.
In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is natural and form-free. It is full of energy, expressing the moods, interests, and feelings of the people. It has a modern sound that makes people very excited. In the 1920s jazz sounded like America. And so it does today.
The origins of this music are as interesting as the music itself. Jazz was produced by American blacks, who were brought to the southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long hours in the cotton and tobacco fields. This work was hard and life was short. When a Negro died, his friends and relatives formed a group to carry the body to the cemetery.
A band often went with them. On the way to the cemetery the band played slow and sad music. But on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Everybody was happy. Death had removed one of their members, but the living were glad to be alive. The band played happy music, which made everyone want to dance. It was an early form of jazz.
Music has always been important in their ing mainly from West Africa, the black men who were brought to America already possessed a rich musical tradition. This music centered on religious ceremonies (宗教的仪式) in which dancing, singing clapping and stamping (跺脚) to the beat of a drum were important forms of musical expression. As these people settled in to their fields, they made up work songs. Singing made the hard work go faster.
Another musical form that helped to develop jazz was the blues. Blues songs always describe something sad — an unhappy love affair, a money problem, bad luck. To this day, the expression “feeling blue” means being sad.
4. Through jazz, people can express _________.
A. their moods C. their interests B. their feelings D. all the above
5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A. Jazz follows European traditions.
B. Jazz always describes something sad.
C. Jazz was first produced by black slaves.
D. Blues made the hard work of those slaves go faster.
6. The underlined word “lifted” in paragraph 4 means “_________”.
A. got cheerful B. got sad C. got interested D. got uneasy
7. Which of the following could be the best tittle for this passage
A. A Light Music B. Black Men’s Music
C. The Origin of the Jazz Music D. The Popular Music — Jazz in the U.S.A.
C
Giving children music lessons won’t just introduce them to music — it could also greatly improve their language skills but it isn’t understood if this is a side effect of a general improvement of cognitive (认知的) skills, or something that directly affects language processing.
Now, we are getting closer to an answer, thanks to a study of 74 Chinese kindergarten children, led by Robert Desimone from MIT. For the study, Desimone’s team chose children from the Chinese education system, with the support of education officials who wanted to see how it might improve their learning.
The 4 to 5-year-old Mandarin-speaking children in the study were divided into three groups. One group received a 45-minute piano lesson three times a week, while another received extra reading instruction classes. The third group acted as a control group, taking no extra lessons beyond their usual classes.
The classes lasted for six months, after which the children were tested on their ability to tell words based on differences in tones, consonants (辅音), or vowels (元音). The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at telling the difference between words that differ by a single consonant, when compared with the children who took extra reading pared to the control group, both the music learners and the extra reading group did better in telling the difference between words based on vowel differences.
“It looks like for recognizing differences between sounds, including speech sounds, it’s better than extra reading. That means schools could pay more attention to music,” Desimone says. “It’s not worse than giving extra reading to the children, which is probably what many schools are trying to do — get rid of the art education and just have more reading.”
8. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Learning music. B. The Chinese education.
C. A study of children’s schooling. D. Improvement of cognitive skills.
9. What did the third group learn in the study
A. Ways to improve their study. B. Extra lessons about reading tips.
C. Three extra piano lessons a week. D. Nothing else except their usual studies.
10. Which was one of the results of the study
A. Learning music determined kids’ interest in study.
B. The piano played a key part in kids’ learning.
C. Children taking piano lessons didn’t perform well.
D. The extra reading group were good at telling vowels.
11. What can we conclude from what Desimone says
A. Many schools value art education.
B. Schools will increase reading classes.
C. It isn’t wise to cut back on music lessons.
D. Children who learn music perform better at school.
D
Every year on June 21st, World Music Day is commemorated in over 120 countries, including its birthplace of France, to honor both amateur and professional musicians. Citizens of a city or country are permitted and encouraged to perform music outside in their neighborhoods, public areas, and parks on Music Day. Free concerts are also held, where musicians perform for the joy of it rather than for a fee.
In the 1970s, American musician Joel Cohen, who was then working for a French radio station, came up with the idea of having musicians perform on the evening of June 21 to celebrate the start of summer. It was finally accepted by France’s Ministry of Culture in 1982. The day started in France and has since extended to countries such as Belgium, the United Kingdom and others. It’s the ideal time to learn a new instrument or listen to songs they wouldn’t ordinarily include on their playlist. Every type of musician can celebrate World Music Day with friends, family, and even strangers, whether they are young, elderly, new, or seasoned professionals. The purpose is to promote music.
It makes no difference how good you are at making music; everyone can do it. This day can be used by even the most tone-deaf folks to sing their hearts out and appreciate the beauty and power of music. Music is not only a great way to express yourself, but it may also be beneficial to your health. A song might bring back a joyful memory or make you feel vigorous when you listen to it.
12. Where did the World Music Day begin
A. In France. B. In America. C. In Belgium. D. In China.
13. Why are some concerts held for free
A. For reputation. B. For entertainment. C. For exchange. D. For donation.
14. Which of the following is TRUE about the World Music Day
A. Those who are not expert in music are not welcome.
B. Joel Cohen put forward the idea of performing music for free.
C. The purpose of it is to instruct tone-deaf people in music.
D. You can listen to some songs not included on the playlist on that day.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards music
A. Challenging. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Sceptical.
五、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How similar are language and music
Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. 1 Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.
Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. 2 By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.
3
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
Both share emotion.
4 Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and it allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. 5 I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.
A. Both are with various cultures.
B. Both are expressive around the world.
C. How do you know that I am angry
D. We use language to express our thoughts.
E. So just as you read English, you can read music.
F. Similarly, music is also part of many people’s lives.
G. In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.

A 指代判断题。根据第一段“Giving children music lessons won’t just introduce them to music — it could also greatly improve their language skills but it isn’t understood if this is a side effect of a general improvement of cognitive (认知的) skills, or something that directly affects language processing.（给孩子上音乐课不仅能让他们接触音乐，还能极大地提高他们的语言技能，但目前尚不清楚这是认知技能普遍提高的副作用，还是直接影响语言处理。）”及第二段“For the study, Desimone’s team chose children from the Chinese education system, with the support of education officials who wanted to see how it might improve their learning.（在这项研究中，Desimone的团队选择了来自中国教育系统的孩子，并得到了教育官员的支持，他们想知道它将如何提高他们的学习能力。）”可推知，画线“it”指代的是上文中的“学习音乐”，即学习音乐是如何提升学习的。故选A。

七、
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了亚美尼亚小提琴家Astrid Poghosyan热爱中国并在中国实现了自己的音乐家梦想的故事。
1. herself 考查反身代词。句意：亚美尼亚音乐家Astrid Poghosyan为自己取的中文名字“马星星”感到非常自豪。根据句意可知，设空处与主语she指代同一人，因而用反身代词。故填herself。
2. is inspired 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：“星星”的字面意思是星星，灵感来自她的亚美尼亚姓氏，而“马”则来自中国三国时期著名的武士马超。分析句子结构可知，设空处缺少谓语；动词inspire与主语Xingxing之间是动宾关系，因而用被动语态；根据上下文语境可知，这里的时态为一般现在时。故填is inspired。
3. which 考查定语从句。句意：Poghosyan总是把她所有的精力投入到她所参与的项目中，因为她相信每一点努力都将帮助她实现与音乐有关的梦想。分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，缺少关系词；且先行词为物，在定语从句中作介词的宾语。故填which。
4. extremely 考查词性转换。句意：音乐无国界，新冠肺炎疫情期间，音乐文化交流尤为重要。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰形容词important，因此应用extreme的副词形式。故填extremely。
5. experiencing 考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国工作了12年，体验着中国的语言和文化，Poghosyan现在已经成为一名真正的中国通了。分析句子结构可知，空处为非谓语，且experience和主语之间是主动关系，所以用experience的现在分词。故填experiencing。
6. a 考查冠词。句意：这样的多元文化背景极大地帮助她在目前的工作中脱颖而出。结合句意可知，这里泛指一种多文化背景，且background作“背景”讲时是可数名词，所以用不定冠词。故填a。
7. including 考查非谓语动词。句意：她对中国文化的热爱，包括成龙的电影和花木兰的故事，帮助她度过了艰难的语言学习过程。分析句子结构可知，“______ (include) Jackie Chan’s movies and stories of Mulan”作定语，修饰Chinese culture；且include和Chinese culture是逻辑上的主动关系，因此应用include的现在分词形式。故填including。
8. to 考查介词。句意：随着她逐渐适应了中国的语言和文化，她也开始探索上海丰富多彩的城市生活。adapt oneself to“使自己适应”，为固定搭配。故填to。
9. have been 考查动词的时态。句意：自从我第一次来到上海，这里人民的善良和友好就已经给我留下了深刻的印象。since引导时间状语从句，主句常用现在完成时态。故填have been。
10. convenience 考查词性转换。句意：无论是街上的环卫工人，还是便利店的收银员，我遇到的每个人都对我报以灿烂的微笑。表示“便利店”，应用名词作定语，表示被修饰词store的功能。故填convenience。

Music comes in many forms, and most countries have a style of their own. The US is well known for jazz, which has gained worldwide popularity.
In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is natural and form-free. It is full of energy, expressing the moods, interests, and feelings of the people. It has a modern sound that makes people very excited. In the 1920s jazz sounded like America. And so it does today.
The origins of this music are as interesting as the music itself. Jazz was produced by American blacks, who were brought to the southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long hours in the cotton and tobacco fields. This work was hard and life was short. When a Negro died, his friends and relatives formed a group to carry the body to the cemetery.
A band often went with them. On the way to the cemetery the band played slow and sad music. But on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Everybody was happy. Death had removed one of their members, but the living were glad to be alive. The band played happy music, which made everyone want to dance. It was an early form of jazz.
Music has always been important in their ing mainly from West Africa, the black men who were brought to America already possessed a rich musical tradition. This music centered on religious ceremonies (宗教的仪式) in which dancing, singing clapping and stamping (跺脚) to the beat of a drum were important forms of musical expression. As these people settled in to their fields, they made up work songs. Singing made the hard work go faster.
Another musical form that helped to develop jazz was the blues. Blues songs always describe something sad — an unhappy love affair, a money problem, bad luck. To this day, the expression “feeling blue” means being sad.
4. Through jazz, people can express _________.
A. their moods C. their interests B. their feelings D. all the above
5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A. Jazz follows European traditions.
B. Jazz always describes something sad.
C. Jazz was first produced by black slaves.
D. Blues made the hard work of those slaves go faster.
6. The underlined word “lifted” in paragraph 4 means “_________”.
A. got cheerful B. got sad C. got interested D. got uneasy
7. Which of the following could be the best tittle for this passage
A. A Light Music B. Black Men’s Music
C. The Origin of the Jazz Music D. The Popular Music — Jazz in the U.S.A.
C
Giving children music lessons won’t just introduce them to music — it could also greatly improve their language skills but it isn’t understood if this is a side effect of a general improvement of cognitive (认知的) skills, or something that directly affects language processing.
Now, we are getting closer to an answer, thanks to a study of 74 Chinese kindergarten children, led by Robert Desimone from MIT. For the study, Desimone’s team chose children from the Chinese education system, with the support of education officials who wanted to see how it might improve their learning.
The 4 to 5-year-old Mandarin-speaking children in the study were divided into three groups. One group received a 45-minute piano lesson three times a week, while another received extra reading instruction classes. The third group acted as a control group, taking no extra lessons beyond their usual classes.
The classes lasted for six months, after which the children were tested on their ability to tell words based on differences in tones, consonants (辅音), or vowels (元音). The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at telling the difference between words that differ by a single consonant, when compared with the children who took extra reading pared to the control group, both the music learners and the extra reading group did better in telling the difference between words based on vowel differences.
“It looks like for recognizing differences between sounds, including speech sounds, it’s better than extra reading. That means schools could pay more attention to music,” Desimone says. “It’s not worse than giving extra reading to the children, which is probably what many schools are trying to do — get rid of the art education and just have more reading.”
8. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Learning music. B. The Chinese education.
C. A study of children’s schooling. D. Improvement of cognitive skills.
9. What did the third group learn in the study
A. Ways to improve their study. B. Extra lessons about reading tips.
C. Three extra piano lessons a week. D. Nothing else except their usual studies.
10. Which was one of the results of the study
A. Learning music determined kids’ interest in study.
B. The piano played a key part in kids’ learning.
C. Children taking piano lessons didn’t perform well.
D. The extra reading group were good at telling vowels.
11. What can we conclude from what Desimone says
A. Many schools value art education.
B. Schools will increase reading classes.
C. It isn’t wise to cut back on music lessons.
D. Children who learn music perform better at school.
D
Every year on June 21st, World Music Day is commemorated in over 120 countries, including its birthplace of France, to honor both amateur and professional musicians. Citizens of a city or country are permitted and encouraged to perform music outside in their neighborhoods, public areas, and parks on Music Day. Free concerts are also held, where musicians perform for the joy of it rather than for a fee.
In the 1970s, American musician Joel Cohen, who was then working for a French radio station, came up with the idea of having musicians perform on the evening of June 21 to celebrate the start of summer. It was finally accepted by France’s Ministry of Culture in 1982. The day started in France and has since extended to countries such as Belgium, the United Kingdom and others. It’s the ideal time to learn a new instrument or listen to songs they wouldn’t ordinarily include on their playlist. Every type of musician can celebrate World Music Day with friends, family, and even strangers, whether they are young, elderly, new, or seasoned professionals. The purpose is to promote music.
It makes no difference how good you are at making music; everyone can do it. This day can be used by even the most tone-deaf folks to sing their hearts out and appreciate the beauty and power of music. Music is not only a great way to express yourself, but it may also be beneficial to your health. A song might bring back a joyful memory or make you feel vigorous when you listen to it.
12. Where did the World Music Day begin
A. In France. B. In America. C. In Belgium. D. In China.
13. Why are some concerts held for free
A. For reputation. B. For entertainment. C. For exchange. D. For donation.
14. Which of the following is TRUE about the World Music Day
A. Those who are not expert in music are not welcome.
B. Joel Cohen put forward the idea of performing music for free.
C. The purpose of it is to instruct tone-deaf people in music.
D. You can listen to some songs not included on the playlist on that day.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards music
A. Challenging. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Sceptical.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How similar are language and music
Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. 1 Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.
Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. 2 By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.
3
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
Both share emotion.
4 Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and it allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. 5 I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.
A. Both are with various cultures.
B. Both are expressive around the world.
C. How do you know that I am angry
D. We use language to express our thoughts.
E. So just as you read English, you can read music.
F. Similarly, music is also part of many people’s lives.
G. In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究。该研究表明，让孩子上音乐课不仅会将他们引入旋律的世界，而且还会显著提高他们的语言技能。学校不应该削减音乐课程，而应该更加关注音乐课程。

A 指代判断题。根据第一段“Giving children music lessons won’t just introduce them to music — it could also greatly improve their language skills but it isn’t understood if this is a side effect of a general improvement of cognitive (认知的) skills, or something that directly affects language processing.（给孩子上音乐课不仅能让他们接触音乐，还能极大地提高他们的语言技能，但目前尚不清楚这是认知技能普遍提高的副作用，还是直接影响语言处理。）”及第二段“For the study, Desimone’s team chose children from the Chinese education system, with the support of education officials who wanted to see how it might improve their learning.（在这项研究中，Desimone的团队选择了来自中国教育系统的孩子，并得到了教育官员的支持，他们想知道它将如何提高他们的学习能力。）”可推知，画线“it”指代的是上文中的“学习音乐”，即学习音乐是如何提升学习的。故选A。

11. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘It looks like for recognizing differences between sounds, including speech sounds, it’s better than extra reading. That means schools could pay more attention to music,’ Desimone says. ‘It’s not worse than giving extra reading to the children, which is probably what many schools are trying to do — get rid of the art education and just have more reading.’”（‘看起来，学习音乐在识别包括语音在内的声音之间的差异方面，比额外的阅读更好。这意味着学校可以更加关注音乐，’Desimone说。‘这并不比给孩子们额外的阅读更糟糕，这可能是许多学校正在尝试做的事——取消艺术教育，只给他们更多的阅读。’）”可知，在识别声音之间的差异方面，包括语音，学习音乐比学习阅读要好，但是许多学校正在努力取消艺术教育，增加阅读。由此推知，Desimone认为减少音乐课是不明智的。故选C。

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了亚美尼亚小提琴家Astrid Poghosyan热爱中国并在中国实现了自己的音乐家梦想的故事。
1. herself 考查反身代词。句意：亚美尼亚音乐家Astrid Poghosyan为自己取的中文名字“马星星”感到非常自豪。根据句意可知，设空处与主语she指代同一人，因而用反身代词。故填herself。
2. is inspired 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：“星星”的字面意思是星星，灵感来自她的亚美尼亚姓氏，而“马”则来自中国三国时期著名的武士马超。分析句子结构可知，设空处缺少谓语；动词inspire与主语Xingxing之间是动宾关系，因而用被动语态；根据上下文语境可知，这里的时态为一般现在时。故填is inspired。
3. which 考查定语从句。句意：Poghosyan总是把她所有的精力投入到她所参与的项目中，因为她相信每一点努力都将帮助她实现与音乐有关的梦想。分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，缺少关系词；且先行词为物，在定语从句中作介词的宾语。故填which。
4. extremely 考查词性转换。句意：音乐无国界，新冠肺炎疫情期间，音乐文化交流尤为重要。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰形容词important，因此应用extreme的副词形式。故填extremely。
5. experiencing 考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国工作了12年，体验着中国的语言和文化，Poghosyan现在已经成为一名真正的中国通了。分析句子结构可知，空处为非谓语，且experience和主语之间是主动关系，所以用experience的现在分词。故填experiencing。
6. a 考查冠词。句意：这样的多元文化背景极大地帮助她在目前的工作中脱颖而出。结合句意可知，这里泛指一种多文化背景，且background作“背景”讲时是可数名词，所以用不定冠词。故填a。
7. including 考查非谓语动词。句意：她对中国文化的热爱，包括成龙的电影和花木兰的故事，帮助她度过了艰难的语言学习过程。分析句子结构可知，“______ (include) Jackie Chan’s movies and stories of Mulan”作定语，修饰Chinese culture；且include和Chinese culture是逻辑上的主动关系，因此应用include的现在分词形式。故填including。
8. to 考查介词。句意：随着她逐渐适应了中国的语言和文化，她也开始探索上海丰富多彩的城市生活。adapt oneself to“使自己适应”，为固定搭配。故填to。
9. have been 考查动词的时态。句意：自从我第一次来到上海，这里人民的善良和友好就已经给我留下了深刻的印象。since引导时间状语从句，主句常用现在完成时态。故填have been。

Good morning, my dear teacher and fellow classmates! It’s my great honor to be here to discuss with you the topic — what influence music has on our study and life.
Firstly, music not only enriches our knowledge but also helps reduce our pressure. Secondly, music helps to cultivate our minds by equipping us with more skills, which can promote our intellectual development. Last but not least, learning music also helps develop our creativity.
In my opinion, middle schools should attach importance to music lessons, as music plays an important part in our daily lives. Besides, we all should be aware of the importance of music and make it part of our study and life. Thanks for your listening!
