一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·南通调研)Laurie Horam never thought of himself as musical.At home, his dad never listened to music, and one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tone-deaf.But last month he started to play the harmonica (口琴) on the streets of Bradford.People clapped, danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank.Horam caught himself thinking, “How, at the age of 79, do I come to be playing music to people on the streets?”
The question preoccupied him, because, some years ago at a family gathering, Gavin, his eldest son, said, “You know what, Dad It can't be coincidental.We must have got our musical abilities from you.” Horam has three sons and they cover a range of instruments.He was surprised.“There can't be music in me, because I can't play!” he said.
Eight years ago, Horam, a retired civil servant,was on his way back from a trip with his family.Gavin stopped at a music shop.He walked out and said, “Here you are.I bought this for you, Dad.It's a harmonica.I'll try to show you how to play a bit.”
They went to a session at their local pub.Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica, trying to make a sound that no one would hear.After six months, he was invited into the group.He discovered a talent for improvisation (即兴表演),responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid.“I don't play by ear.I play by heart.” Actually, Horam says, “My harmonica plays me — how I feel, what I am, and what I've been.”
Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel “part of something much bigger” than himself.“At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking, mine is expanding,” he says.“Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.”

3.What does playing the harmonica allow Horam to do

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2023·柳州高三模拟)As is well known, making art is good for your health.It can reduce stress and improve your spirit.__5__ All you need to do is just spare some time to make art in your daily life.And the more you do it, the better.Here're some tips to help you kick-start your creative art habit.
__6__ In fact, there're no differences in health outcomes between those who are identified as experienced in art and those who aren't.So no matter what your level is, you could feel all the good things that come with making art.
Figure out your mode of creative expression.There're many choices available: painting, cooking, baking, woodworking, sewing — the sky's the limit.Keep an open mind.Anything that sets off your creative mind is good for you.__7__ Mix it up — do whatever you're in the mood for.
Focus on the making and let go of expectations.Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part.Let yourself get lost in the process and just play.It's the physical act of making art that causes those feelings of stress relief and positive spirit, not what you make.__8__
Think about making art like any healthy habit.Just as you make time to exercise and hang out with friends, you should make time for your artistic creation.You don't even need a few hours.__9__ In addition to carving out time, carve out a physical space for art.You could set up a corner table for your art supplies.If space is an issue, put them all in a container that's easily accessible.
A.Improve yourself with regular practice.
B.Don't require yourself to have great skills.
C.And don't feel like you have to stick to one thing.
D.However, developing interest in art takes little time.
E.Doing just 10 minutes of art each day can do wonders.
F.But you don't have to be a full-time artist to get these benefits.
G.So, you don't even need to finish what you're making to feel those health benefits.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章提出了一些建议可以帮助你培养创造性艺术习惯。
5.解析:选F 根据上文“making art is good for your health ... and improve your spirit”可知,创作艺术具有积极影响。根据下文“All you need to do is just make art.”可知,我们创作艺术只需要尽力去做到自己的最好。故选项F“但你并不需要成为一个全职艺术家才能获得这些好处”承上启下,符合语境。
6.解析:选B 根据下文“In fact, there're no differences in health outcomes ... and those who aren't.”可知,有无艺术经验对人的健康没有区别。故B项“不要要求自己有高超的技能”符合语境。
7.解析:选C 根据下文“Mix it up — do whatever you're in the mood for.”可知,空处承接下文说明不需要只坚持做一件事情。故C项“不要觉得你必须坚持一件事”符合语境。
8.解析:选G 根据空前面的内容可知,我们应关注创作的过程,它所带来的健康益处并不依附于创作结果。故G项“所以,你甚至不需要完成你正在做的事情就能感受到这些健康益处”承接上文,符合语境。
9.解析:选E 根据空前两句可知,将艺术当成一种健康习惯,安排给艺术创作的时间不需要太多。故E项“每天只做10分钟的艺术就能创造奇迹”承接上文,符合语境。
Ⅲ.语法填空
An artist who had painted many pictures of great beauty found that he had not yet painted the one “real” picture.In his search along a __1__ (dust) road, he met a young bride.She told him that the most beautiful thing in the world is “love”.Love makes the world go round, builds __2__ (poor) into riches, and makes much of little.
Still the artist continued his search and met a tired soldier.The artist asked him __3__ same question and the soldier answered,“peace” is the most beautiful thing in the world, and wherever you find peace you'll find beauty, faith and love.As he __4__ (resume) his walk, his mind wondered on the “real”picture he hoped __5__ (paint).He was surprised that without __6__ (think) where he was going, he had reached his familiar surroundings.
As he entered the doorway, light glistened (闪光) in his eyes and he realized that his search was over.In the __7__ (face) of his wife and children, he saw love and faith.“Not a minute passed by that our children and I had not thought of you.We wished that you would return to us __8__ (safe),” his wife said as they embraced him.He sat on his favourite old chair and his heart was __9__ peace.The artist painted the most beautiful thing in the world and called __10__ “HOME”.
语篇解读:本文是一篇寓言故事。文章主要讲述了一位艺术家一直想画世界上最美好的东西,在他追寻答案的路上得到了许多人不同的回答,最终当他进入家门的瞬间意识到,世界上最美好的东西是“家”。
1.dusty 考查形容词。修饰名词road,应用形容词形式。
2.poverty 考查名词。作动词 build 的宾语,应用名词形式。
3.the 考查冠词。此处特指艺术家之前问年轻新娘的那个问题,故用定冠词the。

5.to paint 考查非谓语动词。hope to do sth.意为“希望做某事”,为固定短语。

You Will Always Be My Teacher, Grandpa
Chitose was leaving for France to get further study.However, the last lesson was a disaster.Chitose and her grandpa had a huge fight.She arrived at the studio smiling and said, “Look, Grandpa! I painted this portrait of you.” The man in the portrait had a lot of hair, stood straight, looked young, and smiled.Chitose might be talented enough to attend an art college in France, but she has a big weakness as an artist.When she paints a person, too often she paints an idealized image rather than the real person.Grandpa had been explaining this point to her for several months, but she just wouldn't listen.
Grandpa got a little angry and said to her, “This is not me, and you are not a real artist.” She got angry too and said she didn't care because she didn't need him as a teacher anymore.Grandpa then showed her the portrait he had painted as her farewell gift and said, “This is the real you!” She took one look at it and said, “No, it isn't!” and then left.
Grandpa gave the portrait of Chitose to her parents.He had done the portrait a couple of months before Chitose started changing her style, and he thinks it shows the high school student he taught for two years.When Grandpa painted it, she still had her natural curly hair.She was not wearing all the accessories (配饰) she has now, including the ring-shaped earrings she loves.She also never wore makeup then.This was a Chitose with a fantastic future who knew she was still an amateur artist.But now she is getting older and wants to act and look more like an adult.However, she will never become a great artist if she stops learning.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Chitose's mom secretly put the portrait into one of Chitose's suitcases when she left home for France. 
Paragraph 2:
Chitose painted a portrait of her grandpa and herself. 
参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
Chitose's mom secretly put the portrait into one of Chitose's suitcases when she left home for France.When she discovered it, she saw a Chitose who was willing to listen in order to improve her art.She realized that the Chitose she'd become was different.She wanted to prove to everyone that she was an adult and had stopped listening to others.After realizing her weakness, she started learning again and her art got much better.
Paragraph 2:
Chitose painted a portrait of her grandpa and herself.The portrait won first prize in a young artists competition.She painted herself like her grandpa did, as Chitose the high school student with a lot of potential.She also painted her grandpa as she really sees him.The wrinkles are proof of his wisdom.The stick shows he will overcome his physical challenges.His bent back shows that he has poured all his strength into what he loves the most: his art and his granddaughter.

Section Ⅱ 课时作业
一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·如皋高三模拟)Scholars have found music and language seem closely linked. But how Some similarities are obvious.Both can express emotion.And both are highly social.At a structural level the parallels are striking too.With a limited set of notes or words, and a limited set of rules, a limitless variety of novel melodies or sentences can be created. Animal communication, by contrast, is only able to convey a limited number of thoughts.
Aniruddh Patel of Tufts University has argued that music and language, rather than being essentially the same, rely on the same bit of the brain.In an experiment he presented his subjects with a sentence that contained a grammatical trick (“The scientist confirmed the hypothesis was being studied in his lab”), revealing one word at a time.The subjects were to press a button for each word at their own pace.Many paused at the unexpected “was”. “The scientist confirmed the hypothesis” seemed a complete sentence.
They also heard music as they performed this exercise.Some were treated to a new chord (和弦) in a pleasing progression with every word that was revealed.Others heard an annoying chord at the moment they reached the trick word “was”.Both groups slowed down — but those given the discordant (不和谐的) notes did so much more.
Another striking contrast lies in the range of human talent for each ability.Nearly all children produce complex sentences by the age of three and become fluent speakers just a few years after that.By contrast, only a minority of adults are talented musicians; even fewer are skilled composers of new works.
Victor Wooten, a music teacher, points out, children learn to talk by being constantly surrounded by fluent older speakers who are practicing with them almost from birth.Their awkward efforts are encouraged.On the other hand, students of music often keep company with other beginners, and are stopped when having a mistake.
It is not that simple, thinks Jay Keyser, a professor of linguistics.For him, music is not like spoken prose, which almost everyone can learn without any difficulties, but instead resembles a specific form of language: poetry, whose rhythm is hard to find.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学者们发现音乐和语言似乎密切相关,并用实验证明它们在本质上还是不同的。
1.What is the similarity between music and language at the structural level
A.Both have complicated structures.
B.Both have strict grammatical rules.
C.Both can form unlimited structures.
D.Both can express limited meanings.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,音乐和语言可以创造出无限多种新颖的旋律或句子,即它们都可以创造出无限的结构。
2.What can we learn about Aniruddh Patel's experiment
A.Different music varies greatly in the impact on people's life.
B.Appreciation of music helped them understand the sentence.
C.Understanding of the structure was not affected by the music.
D.The discordant music made the sentence structure more difficult.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知,那些听到不和谐音符的人在实验中速度要慢得多。由此可推断,不和谐的音乐使句子更难。
3.What leads to the difference according to Victor Wooten
A.The influence cast by those around them.
B.The age when they start to acquire the abilities.
C.The way their mistakes in learning are handled.
D.The expectations they get from those around them.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,音乐教师维克多·伍腾认为是周围人影响了孩子的语言,造成了差异。
4.What does Jay Keyser want to say in the last paragraph
A.It is difficult to compose music.
B.Language can hardly make life fun.
C.Music is not as easy to learn.
D.Music comes from spoken prose.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,杰伊·凯瑟认为音乐不容易学习。
