Ⅰ.阅读理解
Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of tonic food.
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach (菠菜), are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes (小萝卜), are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual's health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as the wolfberry (枸杞子), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.
So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.

(2023·沈阳质检)Java's Café is a fundamental extension of the Rochester experience, opening its arms to comfort coffee, tea, and dessert lovers alike.For the typical UR students, the Java's on Gibbs St.has become a place of solace during stressful testing times, and on more heartwarming occasions, a social hub.
Slowly approaching its thirties, Java's has enjoyed a good reputation in the local area.In 1978, Java Joe created a coffee farm in Hawaii.With great dedication to his craft, the great master of coffee beans made his way to Rochester then.In 1992, Joe decided to start selling coffee at the Public Market and opened up a store on Gibbs St.with the help of Michael Calabrese.This location, next to the Eastman School of Music, is the first of many shops Java Joe opened.As a lover of the blues, Joe enthusiastically decorated this flagship store with artistic and musical influence.
After this Gibbs location, Joe planted Java Joe's where he was first starting out — at the Public Market.Later, Java Joe's moved to a nearby building, and received a name change — Java's at the Market Coffee Roasters.This building served as a place where those who visited would often catch a glimpse of Joe skillfully roasting his coffee beans in the dancing flames and cultivating his drinks with care.However, in 1997 he licensed Calabrese to run “Java Joe's”, who then renamed the Gibbs Café to what we know today — Java's Café.
Joe remained in the Public Market location until he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.Joe died of lung cancer at 68.The influence he had poured into his business is well-known and highly regarded.He won many awards in his life.

(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.”

(2023·武汉调研)For anyone connected with a school, the last couple of weeks should have been a pile-up of plays, choir performances, and talent shows.But a report found alarmingly, that 53% of primary schools and 63% of secondary schools that normally held a festive concert at the end of the first term did not do so.
It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondary schools.And some children get as little as one day's music lesson a year.If this situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it.And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend.A survey published this month of more than 1,300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons.Almost three-quarters of primary schools and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music.Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted (教育标准局) appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government's silence to educators' appeal.
This is very sad and short-sighted.On the most basic level, music aids academic achievements.Research suggests that music-making improves speech and literacy.But academic progress is too narrow a standard of success.In her book, Joan Koenig argues that music is fundamental to a well-functioning society.Besides that, music-making nurtures sympathy and belonging.“People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it.“Studies show that group musical practice can create and enhance this feeling.It is when people don't have a sense of belonging that things go wrong.”
In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了音乐课在英国中小学教育中的缺失,并通过分析音乐的重要性,呼吁政府对开展音乐课多加支持。
5.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.Educators are appealing for investment.
B.Schools merely value academic achievements.
C.Music lessons are nearly absent from classrooms.
D.Parents cannot afford students' music lessons.
解析:选C 段落大意题。第二段通过列举有关中小学开展音乐课的数据,讲述了音乐课在校园教育中的缺失。因此,本段主要讲述了学校中几乎没有音乐课。
6.According to Ofsted, who is to blame for the affected music provision
A.The schools. B.The educators.
C.The government. D.The researchers.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “Though a sharp ...to educators' appeal.”可知,在Ofsted看来,影响开设音乐课的主要责任在于学校。
7.What does the underlined word “nurtures” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Promotes. B.Deserves.
C.Symbolizes. D.Worsens.
解析:选A 词义猜测题。画线词后面的宾语sympathy and belonging为感受。根据下文中的“group musical practice can create and enhance this feeling”可以推断,画线词的意义与“create and enhance”较为接近。故A项与画线词词义相近。
8.What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph
A.Music education is optional.
B.Music education calls for backup.
C.Music-making is tough.

课时作业(二)
一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A couple of years ago, music psychologist Elizabeth Margulis decided to make some changes to the music of Luciano Berio.Berio was one of the most famous classical composers of the 20th century.After loading his most famous piece into a computer editing program, she just randomly started cutting.
The idea behind this act was simple: Margulis wanted to see if she could make people like Berio's music more by making it more repetitive.
Margulis knew that 90 percent of the music we listen to is music we've heard before.We return again and again to our favorite songs, listening over and over to the same musical riffs (重复乐段), which themselves repeat over and over inside the music, and she'd become obsessed with understanding why repetition is so compelling (引人入胜的).This is why she was razoring (剃) the music of Berio — because his music isn't at all repetitive.
We are drawn to repetition.It surrounds us, not just in modern American pop music, Margulis says, but everywhere.“Musical repetitiveness isn't really an individual feature of music that's arisen over the past few hundred years in the West,” she says.“It seems to be a cultural universal.Not only does every known human culture make music, but also, every known human culture makes music in which repetition is a defining (典型的) element.”
Why One part of the answer is what's known as the mere exposure effect.
Psychologists have found that people tend to start off wary (谨慎的) of — or even unfriendly to — new things, which makes sense from an evolutionary perspective.But then the act of mere exposure changes our feelings.We typically feel more warmly toward things we encounter again and again.
So mere exposure is one of the reasons we respond so well to repetition — both of music and in music — but Margulis clearly doesn't think it's the whole story.She says repetition also allows us to shift (转移) our attention around, from the surface aspects of the music to other aspects.So basically, part of what the repetition in music allows us to do is leave ourselves.In some small way, it allows us to shift and adjust our reality.And reality can often use some adjusting.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么音乐总是重复及重复的作用。
1.Why did Margulis change Berio's music
A.To find the role of repetition.
B.To show her talent in music.
C.To make his music more famous.
D.To test a computer editing program.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“wanted to see if she could make people like Berio's music more by making it more repetitive”和第三段中的“she'd become obsessed with understanding why repetition is so compelling”可知,她这样做的原因是想了解音乐重复的作用。
2.If we hear new music again and again, we ________.
A.can't deal with its sound better
B.tend to be cautious of it very much
C.may expect something from it consciously
D.won't know when we have heard it
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“We typically feel more warmly toward things we encounter again and again.”可知,如果我们反复听新的音乐,我们或许会有意识地从中期望一些东西。
3.From the last paragraph, we can infer the repetition makes us ________.
A.experience the content of the songs
B.respond to the whole music better
C.remember the words of songs clearly
D.shift our experience of reality around us
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She says repetition ...it allows us to shift and adjust our reality.”可知,音乐中的重复会使我们从事情的表面看到其他的方面,以及暂时的逃离现实。
4.What might be the most suitable title for the passage
A.To Play Music Again and Again
B.To Be Exposed to Music Fully
C.To Enjoy the Beauty of Music
D.To Find the Secret to Musical Effects
解析:选A 标题归纳题。本文主要解释了为什么音乐中会有不断的重复,以及这种音乐的重复起什么作用,因此A项适合作本文标题。

(2023·厦门适应性考试)
Streaming Music
Nowadays, many music fans listen to songs not from records or CDs but directly on the Internet.This is called streaming, and it allows people to listen to what seems like an infinite variety of songs. __5__
The largest music-streaming website, Spotify, began in Sweden in 2008.It spread to other countries as major music labels (唱片公司) agreed to let Spotify users stream their songs.In return, Spotify gives the labels some of its profits.
__6__ They can search for songs by artist or title.They can play entire albums, create playlists or listen to playlists from other users.
Many streaming services allow people to sign up for free accounts. __7__ For example, you might not be able to choose every song you listen to.Or you can only skip a certain number of songs per hour.And the listening experience will likely be interrupted by advertisements. __8__
There are some disadvantages to music-streaming services.For one thing, people are only renting music, not buying it.This means if they stop their subscription to the service, they lose access to the music. __9__ If users want to support their favorite artist financially, they're better off just buying an album.On the other hand, streaming makes it easier to discover new music and enjoy a wide variety of songs.
Streaming is convenient and inexpensive, and it offers a huge selection of songs to listen to.It is likely to grow more popular and may even develop new services for users to enjoy.
A.But how exactly does it work
B.So why do people choose the Internet
C.You can explore what you can get for free.
D.However, free accounts are usually limited in some way.
E.Also, artists generally don't earn much money from streaming services.
F.Spotify users have a variety of ways to choose what songs they listen to.
G.To avoid these issues and gain new features, users can pay for a subscription.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。现在人们通常会通过流媒体听歌,文章对流媒体听歌的方式、优势和劣势进行了介绍。
5.解析:选A 上文介绍了一种新的听歌方式;第二段介绍了Spotify的运作方式,因此此处是讲streaming的工作方式,所以选项A(但它到底是如何工作的呢?)承上启下,符合语境。
6.解析:选F 根据后文内容可知,此处是指用户有多种方法选择歌曲来听,所以选项F符合语境。
7.解析:选D 前文提到许多流媒体服务允许人们注册免费账户;后文则讲了免费账户的一些限制,所以选项D(然而,免费账户通常在某种程度上受到限制)承上启下,符合语境。
8.解析:选G 前文提到使用免费流媒体的一些限制,选项G(为了避免这些问题并获得新功能,用户可以付费订阅)承接上文,符合语境。
9.解析:选E 根据后文提到用户在经济上支持他们喜欢的艺术家的方法可知,艺术家通常不会从流媒体服务中赚到太多钱。所以选项E符合语境,其中的“Also”与上文的“For one thing”呼应。

Kunqu Opera is acknowledged as __9__ elegant opera.Carrying forward the tradition of ancient poetry and common speech, the art is also __10__ very high literary value.

The largest music-streaming website, Spotify, began in Sweden in 2008.It spread to other countries as major music labels (唱片公司) agreed to let Spotify users stream their songs.In return, Spotify gives the labels some of its profits.
__6__ They can search for songs by artist or title.They can play entire albums, create playlists or listen to playlists from other users.
Many streaming services allow people to sign up for free accounts. __7__ For example, you might not be able to choose every song you listen to.Or you can only skip a certain number of songs per hour.And the listening experience will likely be interrupted by advertisements. __8__
There are some disadvantages to music-streaming services.For one thing, people are only renting music, not buying it.This means if they stop their subscription to the service, they lose access to the music. __9__ If users want to support their favorite artist financially, they're better off just buying an album.On the other hand, streaming makes it easier to discover new music and enjoy a wide variety of songs.
Streaming is convenient and inexpensive, and it offers a huge selection of songs to listen to.It is likely to grow more popular and may even develop new services for users to enjoy.
A.But how exactly does it work
B.So why do people choose the Internet
C.You can explore what you can get for free.
D.However, free accounts are usually limited in some way.
E.Also, artists generally don't earn much money from streaming services.
F.Spotify users have a variety of ways to choose what songs they listen to.
G.To avoid these issues and gain new features, users can pay for a subscription.

(2023·武汉市武昌区质检)In the 17th century, the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age.During this period, artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques, contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the “Mona Lisa of the North”, this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.
Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft, a city in Holland where the artist was born, lived and died.Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer's most well-known work of art.However, it did not attain international fame at its time of completion.That came about at the end of the 20th century, when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington, D.C.
Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person.Instead, it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing who, “like a vision coming from the darkness,” art historian Arthur K.Wheelock explained in the Johannes Vermeer catalogue, “belongs to no specific time or place.”
Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines.This characteristic approach to modeling is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring.First, he would “invent”, or create an initial drawing on the canvas.Then, he made a single colored underpainting.Next, he added color.And, finally, in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright, he would apply a thin layer of the glaze to certain parts of the painting.
In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty, the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa, she is also looking at us, but she isn't engaging — she's sitting back in the painting, self-contained,” Tracy Chevalier, the author of The New York Times' bestselling historical novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there — there is nothing between her and us.She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time — and that is what makes her so appealing.”

A GIFT FOR GRANDPA
The summer vacation was coming.Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The big day came at last.After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents' home eagerly.On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with their grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared.Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa.They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly, “Grandpa, we are back!”
Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain.A helpless expression flashed across his face.Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and that he maybe couldn't stand up on his own forever.But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地),“I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way.Mum and Grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time.They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest.Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers.Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom.He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs.The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs ...How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn't get up.This made them worried.“We need to think out a way to cheer him up,” Jack said.“Grandpa is a bird lover, so we can catch him a bird,” Berlin suggested.“But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head.
Then a bright idea came to Jack's mind.“Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree?!”

Paragraph 1:
Berlin thought it was a good idea.When the two brothers reached an agreement, they quickly ran back to their grandparents' house, got the tools they needed to make the cane, and ran back to the woods.Jack said, “What kind of tree should we pick for the walking stick?” Berlin thought for a moment and said, “I think we should choose a straight tree, so no knots will scratch Grandpa's hands.” Jack nodded his head in agreement.They found a straight tree and set to work.They cut the tree down, and with a knife they took the bark off.It was a wonderful tree, which was smooth and was just of the right size.They thought Grandpa would love it.
Paragraph 2:
Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa.When Grandpa took the cane, his hands shook with joy, thinking, “This is made by my grandsons themselves.How precious it is!” Jack said, “Grandpa, we hope this cane will help you stand up and come with us to explore the woods.”Grandpa smiled and decided to give it a try so as not to make his grandchildren disappointed.He held the cane in his right hand and the arm of his chair in his left hand.He stood up with strength on his legs.Everyone was surprised and excited to see Grandpa stand up.At that moment, Jack noticed a tear coming from the corner of his grandpa's eye.

一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·福州质检)Auguste Rodin spent the best part of four decades working on his masterpiece.The Mona Lisa, by contrast, took Leonardo da Vinci a mere 15 years or so.So we can only imagine what those masters would think of an up-and-coming artist who can knock out complex works in under two hours.Not least because she's a robot.
Meet Ai-Da, the world's first robot artist to stage an exhibition, and, according to her creator, every bit as good as many of the abstract human painters working today.
Named in honour of the pioneering female mathematician Ada Lovelace, the artificial intelligence (AI) machine can draw a portrait by sight, and compose an “extremely beautiful” painting rich with meaning.
The humanoid machine can walk, talk and hold a pencil or brush.But it is Ai-Da's ability to teach itself new and ever more complicated means of creative expression that has set the art world excited.
From a simple photograph, whether a bee or a tree, the robot has done abstract paintings warning of the fragility (脆弱性) of the environment that would look_at_home in a top modern gallery.
“We just can't predict what she will do, what she's going to produce, what the limit of her output is,” said Aidan Meller, who is in charge of the Unsecured Futures exhibition which opens on June 12th.
Meller is clear that his goal is not to replace human artists.Rather, he compares the rise of AI art to the coming of photography.“In the 1850s everyone thought photography would replace art and artists, but actually it became a new style bringing many new jobs,” he said.
“We are looking forward to the conversation Ai-Da brings in audiences,” said Lucy Seal, researcher for the project.“A measure of her artistic potential and success will be the discussion she inspires.Engaging people so that we feel empowered to re-imagine our attitudes to organic life and our futures is a major aim of the project.”

2.What does the underlined phrase “look at home” mean in Paragraph 5

3.What is the purpose of the creation of Ai-Da
A.To improve painting skills.
B.To enrich contemporary art forms.
C.To measure the potential of art.
D.To inspire different views on human life.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句以及本段大意可知,创造AI机器人画家的目的不是替代人类画家,而是丰富现有的艺术形式。

A.A robot artist has achieved success.
B.An AI artist draws in pen and brush.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·福州质检)Auguste Rodin spent the best part of four decades working on his masterpiece.The Mona Lisa, by contrast, took Leonardo da Vinci a mere 15 years or so.So we can only imagine what those masters would think of an up-and-coming artist who can knock out complex works in under two hours.Not least because she's a robot.
Meet Ai-Da, the world's first robot artist to stage an exhibition, and, according to her creator, every bit as good as many of the abstract human painters working today.
Named in honour of the pioneering female mathematician Ada Lovelace, the artificial intelligence (AI) machine can draw a portrait by sight, and compose an “extremely beautiful” painting rich with meaning.
The humanoid machine can walk, talk and hold a pencil or brush.But it is Ai-Da's ability to teach itself new and ever more complicated means of creative expression that has set the art world excited.
From a simple photograph, whether a bee or a tree, the robot has done abstract paintings warning of the fragility (脆弱性) of the environment that would look_at_home in a top modern gallery.
“We just can't predict what she will do, what she's going to produce, what the limit of her output is,” said Aidan Meller, who is in charge of the Unsecured Futures exhibition which opens on June 12th.
Meller is clear that his goal is not to replace human artists.Rather, he compares the rise of AI art to the coming of photography.“In the 1850s everyone thought photography would replace art and artists, but actually it became a new style bringing many new jobs,” he said.
“We are looking forward to the conversation Ai-Da brings in audiences,” said Lucy Seal, researcher for the project.“A measure of her artistic potential and success will be the discussion she inspires.Engaging people so that we feel empowered to re-imagine our attitudes to organic life and our futures is a major aim of the project.”

A.To support an idea.

C.To make a contrast.
D.To analyze characters.
2.What does the underlined phrase “look at home” mean in Paragraph 5
A.Look familiar. B.Fit perfectly.
C.Make it at home. D.Feel comfortable.
3.What is the purpose of the creation of Ai-Da

B.To enrich contemporary art forms.
C.To measure the potential of art.
D.To inspire different views on human life.
4.What is the main idea of the text

(2023·潍坊测评)In recent years, there has been a rise in the volume of audiobook sales, which is easily aided by the dominance of the smartphone.Are there other contributors to the rise beyond technology
One thing is obvious: Reading even a short book involves a significant investment of time and prevents any other activity.You can't drive or garden while reading.Andy Miller, the author of The Year of Reading Dangerously, said, “I was hunting for a book to read.Kit Waal, my friend, said, ‘You should get the audiobook Old Filth; it's fantastic.’ She was right.I could walk the dog and still be reading a brilliant novel, or have one read to me brilliantly.I love that book and I love that way of reading it.So _I'm_a_recent_convert.”
Does he worry audio provides too different an experience to reading itself “Clearly on audio you are at the mercy of the reader's skills,” he says.“But then, ego (自我) aside, the same is true of reading a book on the page.We're all at the mercy of our own skills and tastes, aren't we But on audio you are influenced by someone else's interpretation.And you might simply dislike the voice of the reader.But at its best audio offers a complementary (互补的) experience to the actual book.”
Will audiobooks distract us from the page before us Better to focus on what we might gain.As someone who frequently interviews authors on stage, I'm aware of the unique insight into a text produced by hearing someone read their own work; I've frequently reinterpreted a passage after such an experience.But that has had no impact on whether or not I'll read a book by a writer I will never hear reading.
I once met the writer Don Delillo.In response to a question about the process of writing, he remarked that he sometimes became attracted by the shape of particular letters, by the way individual words appeared before him.He sounded hippy-dippy; then it made perfect sense.Reading does start with shapes, which slowly resolve to make a certain meaning, filtered through our own subjectivity and our senses.That will never change.
语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了近年来有声读物销量增加。有声读物有其自身的优点,但它无法代替纸质读物。
1.What does Andy Miller mean by “I'm a recent convert” in Paragraph 2
A.He likes the reader's voice.
B.He enjoys his daily routines.
C.He falls in love with audiobooks.
D.He is addicted to reading novels.
解析:选C 句意理解题。根据第二段中Andy Miller所说的话可知,在朋友Kit Waal的建议下,他选择了有声读物,这让他在遛狗的时候还可以阅读,他喜欢那本有声读物和读它的那种方式。故C项“他爱上了有声读物”与画线部分意义接近。
2.What does Andy Miller think of the audiobook
A.It has a good voice.
B.It limits our interpretation.
C.It controls our skills and tastes.
D.It misleads our interpretation.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中Andy Miller所说的“on audio you are at the mercy of the reader's skills” “But on audio you are influenced by someone else's interpretation”可知,在听有声读物时,读者被朗读者的技巧支配,会受到朗读者理解的影响,据此可以推断,有声读物可能会限制读者的理解。
3.What is Don Delillo's attitude to reading the actual book
A.Unclear. B.Objective.
C.Opposed. D.Favourable.
解析:选D 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“he sometimes became attracted ...before him”可以看出,Don Delillo会被独特的字母的形状和单词出现在他面前的方式吸引,由此可知,他支持纸质书的阅读。
4.What is the best title of the text
A.Easy listening: the rise of the audiobook
B.The audiobook — a growing trend in reading
C.Slow reading — the decline of the actual book
D.A new experience: the appearance of audiobooks
解析:选A 标题归纳题。本文第一段讲述了手机的支配地位有助于有声读物销量的增加;后文介绍了其优点和不足,最后指出纸质读物永不过时。A项既讲到了有声读物的优点“easy listening”,又以问句的形式问道“有声读物兴起了吗?”,能够很好地概括文章大意,因此适合作本文的标题。
B
When people sit together at night and enjoy the glorious moon, an ancient poem, Prelude to Water Melody, is often read for this occasion. Critics say it's probably the best poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's just focus on its most famous five lines to make some analysis.
In the first two lines of the five, the writer is comparing the life of a man with the changing face of the moon. In Chinese culture the moon is always considered to be a perfect carrier of emotions like nostalgia and longing for family reunion. A full moon symbolizes perfection and unity, while a gloomy night may remind people of their misfortunes. When the moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones, such moments can be even more heartbreaking.
Before the comparison, the poet actually complains about the seemingly “ruthless (无情的)” moon and asks her: You should have no spite (怨恨) against man, but why. When people part, are you often full and bright However, he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride, just like the moon may not always be bright. The imperfections have been going on since the beginning of time. That's why he says “There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.”
But should we get bogged down (陷入) by the suffering of things with which we can't change The poet gives his answer: Change your attitude and stay positive. So, we have this everlasting line, “________.”The poet hopes that people appreciate the fact that no matter where they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy, they can all admire the same moon high in the sky.
To this day people still use this verse to express their good will and wishes for family members and friends who can't be with them, especially during major festivals.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕苏轼的《水调歌头》进行了赏析,尤其是对词中最著名的五句进行了分析。
5.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.How we can appreciate Chinese poetry about the Mid-Autumn Day.
B.When we must recite the best Chinese poetry about the Mid-Autumn Day.
C.What made a poet write the best ever Mid-Autumn Day Chinese poem.
D.Why a poem is the peak of Chinese poetry about the Mid-Autumn Day.
解析:选D 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Critics say it's probably the best poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival ... make some analysis.”可知,文章主要针对《水调歌头》最著名的五句分析了为什么它是关于中秋节最好的诗。
6.Why does the poet write “There has been nothing perfect since the olden days” in the poem
A.He doesn't understand why the moon hates humans.
B.He knows eventually the moon will become full again.
C.He realizes life is always accompanied by imperfections.
D.He understands life is too ruthless and has lost his interest in it.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,苏轼意识到生活中的缺陷从一开始就一直存在,生活总是伴随着不完美,所以他写道“此事古难全”。
7.Which of the following lines is the most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 4
A.How long will the full moon appear Wine cup in hand I ask the sky.
B.Looking up, I find the moon bright; bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned.
C.In spring the river rises as high as the sea; with the river's tide uprises the moon bright.
D.May we all be blessed with a long life; miles apart, we'll share the beauty of the moon together.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段中横线处下文的内容并结合《水调歌头》原文以及中国文化常识可知,空处应该是“但愿人长久,千里共婵娟”。
8.We can infer from this article that the author ________.
A.is a very optimistic poet
B.likes the first two lines of the five most
C.appreciates the poet's optimism in the poem
D.believes a positive state of mind is a must to a good poet
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后两段内容可知,作者非常欣赏诗人在词中所表达的积极乐观的态度。
Ⅱ.应用文写作

参考范文:
Dear Chris,
Glad to hear that you're participating in the Chinese Poem Recitation Contest. The poem you chose is an ancient one, which ought to be a real challenge.
A Traveler's Song is a poem written by Mengjiao. It's about the deep love between the poet and his mother. The poem mainly describes a scene in which a mother is making clothes for her son who is leaving home to fulfil his dream. With each stich she makes, the mother conveys her deep love for her son and her concern that he may not return. The poet expresses his ideas using comparison, concluding that “a mother's love is like the sunshine to the grass”. With its rich emotion and depth, this poem is a good choice for your contest.
Best of luck.
Yours,
Li Hua

一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A master of words, a literary genius and a philosopher, Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is known by many as the greatest writer of all time.Even today, over 110 years after his death, his two greatest masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, continue to be widely read, appreciated and highly influential.
“If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy,” the Russian author Isaak Babel once said.Tolstoy's realistic fiction is famous for its powers of observation and ability to mine the depths of human consciousness, such as the psychological exploration of a married woman in Anna Karenina.In War and Peace, Tolstoy also describes Russia's national soul and expresses public unity through his many characters.His characters feel alive; they grow, they change and they stick in the minds of readers long after the final page is turned.
Tolstoy's influence on literature is without comparison.Authors regularly mention his novels as their highest ambition, works that they could only dream of writing themselves.American writer Francis Scott called Tolstoy the “greatest of all novelists” in his essay.He wrote,“from his first words, we can be sure of one thing at any rate — here is a man who sees what we see, who proceeds, too, as we are accustomed to proceeding, not from the outside inwards but from the inside outwards.”
“He defends fundamental values such as love, friendship and family relations.He gives positive answers to the questions mankind is asking.In this sense he gives more hope,”Tolstoy's great-great grandson, Vladimir Ilyich Tolstoy, said.
Tolstoy's message of peace has even had an effect on the real world.He inspired the leader of India's independence movement, Mahatma Ghandi, and his philosophy of non-violence over the course of a year in which they wrote letters to each other.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过引用一些人对托尔斯泰的评价,说明了他的成就和影响力。
1.What does the second paragraph intend to tell us
A.The writing style of Tolstoy.
B.Tolstoy's influence on other authors.
C.The characters in Tolstoy's works.
D.The introduction to the greatest works of Tolstoy.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句可知,两处均提到了托尔斯泰作品的写作风格:现实主义和民族精神。所以本段主要想告诉我们托尔斯泰作品的写作风格。
2.Which words can best describe Tolstoy according to the passage
A.Humorous and caring.
B.Determined and optimistic.
C.Productive and hard-working.
D.Insightful and peace-loving.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知,托尔斯泰是一个极具洞察力的人;根据最后一段第一句可知,托尔斯泰是一个具有和平信念的人。
3.How does the author introduce Tolstoy in this passage
A.By contrasting with other authors.
B.By analyzing characteristics of his works.
C.By quoting comments and opinions.
D.By describing his deeds in life.
解析:选C 推理判断题。本文主要通过引用其他人对托尔斯泰的评价来说明他的影响。
4.What can be the best title for the passage
A.Tolstoy and His Works
B.Tolstoy's Life and Achievements
C.War and Peace: a Great Masterpiece
D.Tolstoy: a Writer Beyond Comparison
解析:选D 标题归纳题。 文章主要介绍了托尔斯泰的成就和巨大影响力。文学大师、文学天才和哲学家是对他的成就及影响力的肯定。故D项适合作文章标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2023·杭州质检)Reading is essential but how can one choose the right books to read and where can one find them A few famous people may give you some helpful tips.
Read books from past eras.
__5__ Otherwise, you'd be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times”, just as Albert Einstein put it.“Somebody who reads only newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns (鄙视) eyeglasses,”he said.
__6__
Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you.Seneca the Younger, a first-century Roman philosopher, suggested that“you must linger (持续看) among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind”.
Shop at second-hand bookstores.
Virginia Woolf believed the works in second-hand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack.Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that wouldn't have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers. __7__
Check out authors' reading lists.
In his 1940 guide How to Read a Book, American philosopher Mortimer J.Adler talked about how to choose books.He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. __8__ Mortimer wrote that “one way to understand them is to read the books they read”.
Make the final decision by yourself.
__9__ It's you who should choose what, how and when to read.Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.
A.Interest is the best teacher.
B.Great authors are great readers.
C.Leave some room for older works.
D.Learn more about those great authors.
E.Don't jump too quickly from book to book.
F.There's no “best books” list that everyone should follow.
G.Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections than second-hand book owners.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了多位名人给出的一些与阅读有关的有用建议。
5.解析:选C 根据该段小标题“Read books from past eras”并结合该段内容可知,你需要阅读一些过去的书,而不是只读报纸和当代作家的书籍。所以C项“给老作品留些空间”符合语境。
6.解析:选E 此处是该段小标题。结合该段内容可知,本段主要讲述了不要在太短时间内阅读太多种类的书籍,所以E项“不要太快地从一本书跳到另一本书”符合语境。
7.解析:选G 根据该段小标题中的“second-hand bookstores”可知,该段主要讲述了二手书店里的作品具有图书馆通常的藏书没有的吸引力,能给人带来些许惊喜。所以G项“通常他们在整理藏书时比二手书商更有选择性”符合语境。选项中的“they”指代上文提到的 “librarians and booksellers”。
8.解析:选B 根据上文“He attached importance ...consider worth reading.”可知,需要重视那些其他作家推荐的值得阅读的书;再结合下文内容可知,理解作家的一个方式就是读他们读过的书。故B项“伟大的作家是伟大的读者”符合语境。
9.解析:选F 本段主要讲述了最后的决定需要自己做。再结合空后的内容可知,F项“没有每个人都可以遵循的‘最好的书’的清单”符合语境,说明每个人的选择都是个性化的。
Ⅲ.语法填空

Does he worry audio provides too different an experience to reading itself “Clearly on audio you are at the mercy of the reader's skills,” he says.“But then, ego (自我) aside, the same is true of reading a book on the page.We're all at the mercy of our own skills and tastes, aren't we But on audio you are influenced by someone else's interpretation.And you might simply dislike the voice of the reader.But at its best audio offers a complementary (互补的) experience to the actual book.”
Will audiobooks distract us from the page before us Better to focus on what we might gain.As someone who frequently interviews authors on stage, I'm aware of the unique insight into a text produced by hearing someone read their own work; I've frequently reinterpreted a passage after such an experience.But that has had no impact on whether or not I'll read a book by a writer I will never hear reading.
I once met the writer Don Delillo.In response to a question about the process of writing, he remarked that he sometimes became attracted by the shape of particular letters, by the way individual words appeared before him.He sounded hippy-dippy; then it made perfect sense.Reading does start with shapes, which slowly resolve to make a certain meaning, filtered through our own subjectivity and our senses.That will never change.

When people sit together at night and enjoy the glorious moon, an ancient poem, Prelude to Water Melody, is often read for this occasion. Critics say it's probably the best poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's just focus on its most famous five lines to make some analysis.
In the first two lines of the five, the writer is comparing the life of a man with the changing face of the moon. In Chinese culture the moon is always considered to be a perfect carrier of emotions like nostalgia and longing for family reunion. A full moon symbolizes perfection and unity, while a gloomy night may remind people of their misfortunes. When the moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones, such moments can be even more heartbreaking.
Before the comparison, the poet actually complains about the seemingly “ruthless (无情的)” moon and asks her: You should have no spite (怨恨) against man, but why. When people part, are you often full and bright However, he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride, just like the moon may not always be bright. The imperfections have been going on since the beginning of time. That's why he says “There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.”
But should we get bogged down (陷入) by the suffering of things with which we can't change The poet gives his answer: Change your attitude and stay positive. So, we have this everlasting line, “________.”The poet hopes that people appreciate the fact that no matter where they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy, they can all admire the same moon high in the sky.
To this day people still use this verse to express their good will and wishes for family members and friends who can't be with them, especially during major festivals.

B.He knows eventually the moon will become full again.
C.He realizes life is always accompanied by imperfections.
D.He understands life is too ruthless and has lost his interest in it.

C.In spring the river rises as high as the sea; with the river's tide uprises the moon bright.

一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A master of words, a literary genius and a philosopher, Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is known by many as the greatest writer of all time.Even today, over 110 years after his death, his two greatest masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, continue to be widely read, appreciated and highly influential.
“If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy,” the Russian author Isaak Babel once said.Tolstoy's realistic fiction is famous for its powers of observation and ability to mine the depths of human consciousness, such as the psychological exploration of a married woman in Anna Karenina.In War and Peace, Tolstoy also describes Russia's national soul and expresses public unity through his many characters.His characters feel alive; they grow, they change and they stick in the minds of readers long after the final page is turned.
Tolstoy's influence on literature is without comparison.Authors regularly mention his novels as their highest ambition, works that they could only dream of writing themselves.American writer Francis Scott called Tolstoy the “greatest of all novelists” in his essay.He wrote,“from his first words, we can be sure of one thing at any rate — here is a man who sees what we see, who proceeds, too, as we are accustomed to proceeding, not from the outside inwards but from the inside outwards.”
“He defends fundamental values such as love, friendship and family relations.He gives positive answers to the questions mankind is asking.In this sense he gives more hope,”Tolstoy's great-great grandson, Vladimir Ilyich Tolstoy, said.
Tolstoy's message of peace has even had an effect on the real world.He inspired the leader of India's independence movement, Mahatma Ghandi, and his philosophy of non-violence over the course of a year in which they wrote letters to each other.
