Unit 5 Music
考试时间：90分钟
满分：120分
第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology took a closer look at music in sports, specifically how listening to music could affect one's overall performance.
Researchers asked 150 volunteers to throw a ball into a basket. For the first stage of the study, participants threw the ball from a fixed point. They threw the ball while listening to music of their choice, while not listening to music, or while listening to music that the researchers selected. For the second stage they were able to choose where to stand when throwing the ball and performed the same activity with the various music choices.
The study found that listening to music, whether it was music of the volunteer's choice or a song chosen for them, did not make the participants more or less likely to get the ball in the basket. It had no effect. What it did do was increase self-esteem and make the study participants more likely to take risks, especially for males who were allowed to choose their own music.
The results suggest that music may pump you up. And it may even help you work out harder and longer than you would without it. But no matter what song you listen to, it's not going to help you get that ball into the basket.
Another study took a detailed look at how music pace might affect exercise. Researchers found that listening to high-pace music makes people feel like they're working out less while also benefiting their bodies more.
Listening to high-pace music while exercising resulted in the highest heart rate compared with not listening to music. This means that the exercise seemed like less effort, but it was more beneficial in terms of enhancing physical fitness.
The study found that the beneficial effects of high-pace music were greatest for people who were walking or running and were felt the least for those who were doing high-intensity exercises such as weightlifting.
1.What were volunteers allowed to do while shooting in the second stage test
A.Choose the position and music. B.Shoot from a fixed point.

2.Which sentence matches the results of high-pace music in this study
A.It has no effect on sports.
B.It improves your athletic skills.
C.It helps easily achieve a better workout.
D.High-pace music is beneficial to all forms of exercise.
3.What does the underlined word "enhancing" in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A.Reducing. B.Balancing. C.Changing. D.Strengthening.

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
4.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
5.Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
6.What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
7.Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.

"What is the story of your piano " a new friend asked over dinner. My piano sits in the corner of my small living room.
My piano has a story "All pianos have stories," she said. Suddenly, my piano's story came flooding out of me as if I'd always had this tale to tell.
I loved music since childhood. I started with the recorder and moved on to the stringed instrument like the violin and the guitar. But playing the piano had always been my dream, a dream our family could not afford.
I grew up in an immigrant Chinese family in Toronto. My father waited tables in a Chinese restaurant, and my mother worked in a Chinese laundry. Despite our poor childhood, my siblings(兄弟姐妹) and I were always fed with love. I can't remember which birthday it was when my mother spared the money to buy me a doll. Of course, by then I'd grown out of wanting dolls, but she worked too hard to know that, and I never told her. I happily and gratefully accepted the doll because I loved the gift that she loved me enough to buy for me.
So it was eventually with my piano. It was in my last year of high school. I took piano lessons for about a year before university forced me to stop. I had to make a decision: to work towards the more practical goal of medical school or my love for music. Finally I chose to stop piano lessons.
I moved that piano around with me over the next decade—until my son was born. He showed an early interest in music, so I put him in piano lessons. I played that piano through my son—though the guitar was finally his instrument of choice.
I've come to realize that for my career, I've let all personal pleasures fall away. I figured I'd get back to playing the piano when I retired. Maybe it's time to get that piano retuned(重新调音), this time for myself, before it's too late to enjoy. Maybe that's something we all should do right now.
Sometimes a single question can open whole paths of thinking and discovery. So, what is the story of your piano

9.What is the main reason why the author stopped learning the piano
A.Her parents persuaded her to do so.
B.She faced study and career pressure.
C.She couldn't afford piano lessons.
D.Her university didn't provide such lessons.
10.What will the author probably do in the nearfuture
A.Restart her piano dream. B.Ask her son to learn the piano.
C.Buy a new piano for herself. D.Focus on her medical career.
11.What is the author's purpose in writing the article
A.To explain the influence of music on her.
B.To encourage readers to play an instrument.
C.To look back on her childhood experience.
D. To share her story about an unrealized dream.

Fu Cong, a Chinese-born pianist, died on Monday at a hospital in London, where he had lived for many years.
A lover of classical music from a young age, Mr. Fu began taking piano lessons at an early age. He made his first stage appearance in1952. The concert caught the attention of officials in Beijing, who selected him to compete and tour in Eastern Europe. Mr. Fus oon moved to Poland, where he studied at the Warsaw Conservatory(音乐学院) on a scholarship. To prepare for the 5th International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955, he practiced so hard that he hurt his fingers and was nearly cut from the first round of the competition.
Mr. Fu was one of the first Chinese pianists to achieve global fame when he took third place in the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955. He also won a special prize for his performance of Chopin's Mazurkas. Almost overnight, he became a national hero. To China, Mr. Fu's recognition in a well-known international competition was evidence that the country could stand on its own artistically in the West. Chinese reporters came to interview Mr. Fu, while many others went to his father, Fu Lei, for advice on child-raising.
In 1981, a volume of letters written by his father, was published in China. Full of advice, encouragement, life teachings and strict paternal love, the book Fu Lei's Family Letters became a best-seller in China. Besides influencing a generation of Chinese, Fu Lei's words resonated(引起共鸣) long after his death with the person for whom they were intended.
"My father had a saying that 'First you must be a person, then an artist, and then a musician, and only then can you be a pianist'," Fu Cong once recalled in an interview. "Even now, I believe in this order. I believe that it should be this way and that I am this way."
12.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A.Fu Cong's achievements in music.
B.Fu Cong's stage performances.
C.Fu Cong's experiences of learning music.
D.Fu Cong's efforts for competitions.
13.Why does Fu Cong's global recognition mean a lot to China
A.It earns Chinese art a place in the West.
B.It promotes the spread of Chinese culture.
C.It proves Chinese people's love for music.
D.It enables Chinese art education to be recognized.
14.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.Letters in Fu Lei's Family Letters. B.Young people of China.
C.Fu Cong and his family. D.Readers of Fu Lei's Family Letters.
15.Which of the following agrees with Fu Lei's ideas in the last paragraph
A.It's easy to be an artist.
B.It requires various qualities to be a pianist.
C.Everyone should develop an interest in art.
D.Talent is of greatest importance for a pianist.

"We can't keep this rabbit," I told my husband, as he stood there holding it. He had found the rabbit outside a medical center an hour earlier. It was clear that someone had given it up. Our dog, Autumn, stretched(伸长) her neck to look at the rabbit in my husband's hands.
We agreed the rabbit could spend the night in our back yard, and I would try to find a new home for it the next day. Autumn followed me as I put a bowl of water and lettuce(莴苣) near some bushes, where she lived and played.
"Don't worry," I told Autumn. "This yard is owned by you, and you don't have to share it with a rabbit." We went back into the house and locked the rabbit outside. My husband was worried about the rabbit's safety all night.
The next morning, Autumn and I checked on the rabbit. Suddenly, the rabbit rushed from under the bushes and directly attacked Autumn. He ran in big circles around my big but gentle dog, as if to say, "I'm the boss here. You might be bigger, but you're not going to hurt me."
Autumn looked as if she had no idea what had just happened. Since she was a hunting dog(猎狗) by nature, I expected her to run after the rabbit, but no, it was the rabbit that ran after her.
In fact, just one strong shake of the head or neck from Autumn could scare off the rabbit and make him not dare to hang around her. However, instead of hurting the rabbit, Autumn made the rabbit's effort to show his power a game. She seemed to enjoy being run after.

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
1.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“For the second stage they were able to choose where to stand when throwing the ball and performed the same activity with the various music choices.”可知,在第二阶段的投篮中,志愿者在投球时被允许选择位置和音乐。故选A。
2.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Researchers found that listening to high-pace music makes people feel like they're working out less while also benefiting their bodies more.”可知,研究者发现听快节奏的音乐使人们感觉好像他们运动得更少同时也更有益于他们的身体,C项“它有助于很容易地完成更好的锻炼”符合题意。
3.答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。画线词所在句子的意思与第五段第二句所表达的意思相同,都是在说听快节奏的音乐会产生的结果,由第五段第二句我们可以知道听快节奏的音乐更有益于人们的身体,所以此处指的是这(运动时听快节奏的音乐)意味着运动似乎不那么费力,但就加强身体素质而言,它更有益。故选D。
B
4.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“but I've learnt to read music(但是我已经学会了识谱）”可知一个翻乐谱的人应该学会识谱，故答案为A项。
5.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“A lot of skills are needed for the job.(这份工作需要大量的技巧。)”以及下文中的关键信息“have to”和“make sure”可综合推断Titterton在舞台上的工作要求很高，故选C项。boring 没趣的，令人厌倦(或厌烦）的；well-paid 工资高的；dangerous 危险的。
6.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“and each pianist has their own style of 'nodding' to indicate a page turn(每个钢琴家都有自己的‘点头’风格来示意翻页）”可推断Titterton需要识别钢琴家发出的“点头”信号，才能准确地翻页，故答案为B项。
7.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn，turn！' (他对音乐很感兴趣，能感受到每一个音符，我不得不提醒他：‘翻页，翻页！’）”可推断他由于专注于音乐，忘了翻页，故答案为D项。
C
8.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。由第四段中的“Despite our poor childhood, my siblings and I were always fed with love.”可知作者小时候家里很穷,但是作者和作者的兄弟姐妹总是被给予爱,所以她小时候又是很幸福的。故选B。
9.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的“I had to make a decision: to work towards the more practical goal of medical school or my love for music.”及第七段中的"I've come to realize that for my career, I've let all personal pleasures fall away.”可知,作者放弃学钢琴的主要原因是学业和职业上的压力。故选B。
10.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I figured I'd get back to playing the piano when I retired.”可知,作者认为退休以后她会重新弹钢琴。由此判断,在不远的将来,作者将重新开始她弹钢琴的梦想。故选A。
11.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。文章前两段引出话题—作者要讲述关于她和钢琴的故事,后文做了具体的介绍,由后文内容我们可以知道她的钢琴梦没有实现,所以作者写这篇文章的目的就是分享关于她的一个未实现的梦想的故事。故选D。
D
12.答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。第二段从傅聪从小就喜欢古典音乐、上钢琴课,他的第一次舞台表演,被给予机会去东欧参加比赛、巡回演出,以及他为第五届肖邦国际钢琴比赛所做的努力这几方面展开介绍,这些都是傅聪学习音乐的经历。故选C。
13.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第四句“To China, Mr. Fu's recognition in a well-known international competition was evidence that the country could stand on its own artistically in the West.”可知,傅聪被全球认可对中国意义重大是因为这为中国艺术在西方赢得了一席之地。故选A。
14.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段画线词所在的句子及其上一句可知,充满建议、鼓励、生活教诲和严厉的父爱,《傅雷家书》成为中国的畅销书。傅雷的话除了影响了一代中国人之外,在他去世后很长一段时间里,他的话也引起了这些信写给的那个人(傅聪)的共鸣,所以此处的they指代的是前文提到的《傅雷家书》里的信件。故选A。
15.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“First you must be a person, then an artist, and then a musician, and only then can you be a pianist”可知,首先你必须成为一个人,然后是艺术家,然后是音乐家,只有那时你才能成为钢琴家,由此判断,成为一个钢琴家需要各方面的品质。故选B。
第二节
答案：GCABE
解析：①细节句。设空处上一句提到“超过10亿的年轻人由于长时间听巨大的声音而面临听力损失的风险”,G项“听音乐或看电视节目时音量很大会损害你的听力”与上文表达的意思一致,顺承上文内容,符合语境。
②主旨句。设空处下文提到了我们内耳中毛细胞的情况,长时间听巨大的声音可能会使毛细胞工作过度,导致其死亡,C项“巨大的声音对内耳有害”可以很好地概括下文所述内容,符合语境,“inner ear”为关键词。
③细节句。设空处上一句提到“长时间听巨大的声音会使这些细胞工作过度,导致其中一些细胞死亡”,A项“这就是造成听力损失的原因”是对上文的一个总结,阐述了一些毛细胞死亡会造成的结果—听力损失,符合语境。
④过渡句。设空处上一句提到“有些人可能认为他们的音乐没有那么大声”,而设空处后提到了“如果你在一个像地铁这样嘈杂的地方,你可能会把你的音乐的音量开得太大而没有意识到,之后,当你在一个安静的地方用同样的音量听它时,它可能听起来声音大得令人不舒服”,B项“但这取决于你所在的地方”与设空处上文形成了一种转折关系,同时下文所阐述的内容是对B项所述观点的一个例证,符合语境。
⑤细节句。设空处上一句提到“世界卫生组织表示,大多数声音的‘安全水平’低于80分贝,每周最多40小时”,E项“80分贝的音量水平大致相当于一辆地铁的声音”是对上文提到的“80分贝的音量”的具体解释,让读者对80分贝的音量有了一个更形象的认识,符合语境。
第二部分 语言知识运用
第一节
答案：1-5.CDBCB 6-10.ABBAA; 11-15.CBABD
解析：1. 下文提到的麦当劳的收银员和远房的亲戚都是不熟悉的人。故选C。
2. 此题可以和第3题一起解出。由第一段我们可以知道作者是一个非常害羞的人,而此处是对作者害羞的一个具体的描述,指的是当被要求在课上说话的时候,她几乎不能呼吸,更别提说话了,故本题选D,下一题选B。
3. 解析见上一题。
4. 此题注意词语的搭配,上声乐课应该用动词take。故选C。
5. 上一句提到姐姐建议作者上声乐课,因此作者要考虑一下。故选B。
6. 根据下文“I thought I would do better than before”可知,作者经过多次练习后,最终对自己的声音有了自信。故选A。
7. 此处指作者认为自己因为上了声乐课所以能做得比以前好。故选B。
8. 根据第四段的第四句可知作者不记得歌词了,所以那位钢琴家小声给她提示,因此他是善良的。故选B。
9. 下文冒号后是作者的想法,此处指作者突然意识到,故选A。
10. 根据第四段第一句可知,作者被邀请为一些退休的人唱歌,因此此处指这群人,故选A。

12. 根据后文“That's something I would never have done before.”可知,作者做了以前不会做的事情,就是大声地唱歌。故选B。
13. 根据后文“how much people liked my singing”可知人们非常喜欢作者唱歌,这让作者感到惊喜。故选A。
14. 上文提到人们喜欢作者唱歌,所以有同学说她甚至可以参加学校的才艺表演。故选B。
15. 据前文“After that, I started singing to myself”及“how much people liked my singing”可知,唱歌使作者更加外向。故选D。
第二节
答案：①to be②on③was diagnosed④discouraged⑤called⑥What⑦Listening⑧relief⑨a⑩periods
解析：①考查动词不定式。feel honoured to do sth.表示“做某事感到很荣幸”,故填to be。句意:很荣幸来到这里和大家分享音乐是如何影响我的人生的故事。
②考查介词。have an impact on...对……有影响。故填on。
③考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。由时间状语two years ago可知应用一般过去时;主语I与diagnose之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语为I,故填was diagnosed。句意:两年前,我被诊断出患有一种难以治愈的严重疾病。
④考查形容词。在本句中,and连接两个并列成分,由and前的Afraid可推测此处是形容词短语作状语,用来说明主语的状态,故填形容词discouraged,此处表达的意思是“既害怕又沮丧,我认为我活不了多久了”。
⑤考查过去分词。主句中已有谓语动词appeared,所以这里需填非谓语动词,又因为call与其逻辑主语song之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语修饰 song,所以此处填called。句意:幸运的是,当我不得不经历两个小时的治疗时,一首名为《快乐》的歌出现了。
⑥考查主语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导主语从句,主语从句中缺少meant的宾语,所以填What。句意:音乐对我来说是心灵的良药。
⑦考查动名词。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句中作主语,此处指“听音乐给我快乐,使我的心情像风中的风筝一样飞翔”,句中有谓语gave和made,所以用动名词作主语,故填Listening。
⑧考查名词。设空处作brought的直接宾语,所以这里用relieve的名词relief。
⑨考查冠词。此处指“音乐给了我希望和一种满足感”。a sense of...一种……感觉。故填不定冠词a。
⑩考查名词复数。此处指“我们都会经历各种不同的时期”,period意为“时期”时为可数名词,由设空处前的various可知此处应填复数名词periods。
第三节
Good morning, everyone,
My name is Li Hua. When it comes to music, we have our own stories. As for me, music actually offered me enough power to overcome difficulties. When failing in the mid-term examination, I felt so upset that I refused to communicate with my friends, even my parents. When I heard some inspiring songs, which gave me confidence, I gradually ignored the failure and spared no effort to study. Finally, I made great progress in the final examination. From my experience, I hope that you can obtain the power which music offers to achieve your own dreams.
Thanks for your listening.
答案：
Paragraph 1:
When the rabbit ran after her, she just ran in circles to avoid him. We watched from the kitchen window as an unusual friendship began to form. Soon the rabbit realized Autumn wasn't a possible danger to him. Even with the power to kill him, she allowed him to share her place. A few days passed and we realized a new home was not necessary because we didn't want to separate the pair.
Paragraph 2:
As this friendship grew allowed the rabbit to come in our house more. My husband even created an area in the house for him to sleep and eat. Every night, I would put him into his area while Autumn just followed me upstairs to sleep in our bedroom. Each morning, I took him outside to the back yard for the day, where he played with Autumn, running after each other. It was really a lovely and happy scene.

A
A study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology took a closer look at music in sports, specifically how listening to music could affect one's overall performance.
Researchers asked 150 volunteers to throw a ball into a basket. For the first stage of the study, participants threw the ball from a fixed point. They threw the ball while listening to music of their choice, while not listening to music, or while listening to music that the researchers selected. For the second stage they were able to choose where to stand when throwing the ball and performed the same activity with the various music choices.
The study found that listening to music, whether it was music of the volunteer's choice or a song chosen for them, did not make the participants more or less likely to get the ball in the basket. It had no effect. What it did do was increase self-esteem and make the study participants more likely to take risks, especially for males who were allowed to choose their own music.
The results suggest that music may pump you up. And it may even help you work out harder and longer than you would without it. But no matter what song you listen to, it's not going to help you get that ball into the basket.
Another study took a detailed look at how music pace might affect exercise. Researchers found that listening to high-pace music makes people feel like they're working out less while also benefiting their bodies more.
Listening to high-pace music while exercising resulted in the highest heart rate compared with not listening to music. This means that the exercise seemed like less effort, but it was more beneficial in terms of enhancing physical fitness.
The study found that the beneficial effects of high-pace music were greatest for people who were walking or running and were felt the least for those who were doing high-intensity exercises such as weightlifting.
1.What were volunteers allowed to do while shooting in the second stage test

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
4.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
5.Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
6.What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
7.Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.

"What is the story of your piano " a new friend asked over dinner. My piano sits in the corner of my small living room.
My piano has a story "All pianos have stories," she said. Suddenly, my piano's story came flooding out of me as if I'd always had this tale to tell.
I loved music since childhood. I started with the recorder and moved on to the stringed instrument like the violin and the guitar. But playing the piano had always been my dream, a dream our family could not afford.
I grew up in an immigrant Chinese family in Toronto. My father waited tables in a Chinese restaurant, and my mother worked in a Chinese laundry. Despite our poor childhood, my siblings(兄弟姐妹) and I were always fed with love. I can't remember which birthday it was when my mother spared the money to buy me a doll. Of course, by then I'd grown out of wanting dolls, but she worked too hard to know that, and I never told her. I happily and gratefully accepted the doll because I loved the gift that she loved me enough to buy for me.
So it was eventually with my piano. It was in my last year of high school. I took piano lessons for about a year before university forced me to stop. I had to make a decision: to work towards the more practical goal of medical school or my love for music. Finally I chose to stop piano lessons.
I moved that piano around with me over the next decade—until my son was born. He showed an early interest in music, so I put him in piano lessons. I played that piano through my son—though the guitar was finally his instrument of choice.
I've come to realize that for my career, I've let all personal pleasures fall away. I figured I'd get back to playing the piano when I retired. Maybe it's time to get that piano retuned(重新调音), this time for myself, before it's too late to enjoy. Maybe that's something we all should do right now.
Sometimes a single question can open whole paths of thinking and discovery. So, what is the story of your piano

Fu Cong, a Chinese-born pianist, died on Monday at a hospital in London, where he had lived for many years.
A lover of classical music from a young age, Mr. Fu began taking piano lessons at an early age. He made his first stage appearance in1952. The concert caught the attention of officials in Beijing, who selected him to compete and tour in Eastern Europe. Mr. Fus oon moved to Poland, where he studied at the Warsaw Conservatory(音乐学院) on a scholarship. To prepare for the 5th International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955, he practiced so hard that he hurt his fingers and was nearly cut from the first round of the competition.

He also won a special prize for his performance of Chopin's Mazurkas. Almost overnight, he became a national hero. To China, Mr. Fu's recognition in a well-known international competition was evidence that the country could stand on its own artistically in the West. Chinese reporters came to interview Mr. Fu, while many others went to his father, Fu Lei, for advice on child-raising.
In 1981, a volume of letters written by his father, was published in China. Full of advice, encouragement, life teachings and strict paternal love, the book Fu Lei's Family Letters became a best-seller in China. Besides influencing a generation of Chinese, Fu Lei's words resonated(引起共鸣) long after his death with the person for whom they were intended.
"My father had a saying that 'First you must be a person, then an artist, and then a musician, and only then can you be a pianist'," Fu Cong once recalled in an interview. "Even now, I believe in this order. I believe that it should be this way and that I am this way."
12.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A.Fu Cong's achievements in music.
B.Fu Cong's stage performances.
C.Fu Cong's experiences of learning music.
D.Fu Cong's efforts for competitions.
13.Why does Fu Cong's global recognition mean a lot to China

C.It proves Chinese people's love for music.
D.It enables Chinese art education to be recognized.
14.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.Letters in Fu Lei's Family Letters. B.Young people of China.
C.Fu Cong and his family. D.Readers of Fu Lei's Family Letters.

"We can't keep this rabbit," I told my husband, as he stood there holding it. He had found the rabbit outside a medical center an hour earlier. It was clear that someone had given it up. Our dog, Autumn, stretched(伸长) her neck to look at the rabbit in my husband's hands.
We agreed the rabbit could spend the night in our back yard, and I would try to find a new home for it the next day. Autumn followed me as I put a bowl of water and lettuce(莴苣) near some bushes, where she lived and played.
"Don't worry," I told Autumn. "This yard is owned by you, and you don't have to share it with a rabbit." We went back into the house and locked the rabbit outside. My husband was worried about the rabbit's safety all night.
The next morning, Autumn and I checked on the rabbit. Suddenly, the rabbit rushed from under the bushes and directly attacked Autumn. He ran in big circles around my big but gentle dog, as if to say, "I'm the boss here. You might be bigger, but you're not going to hurt me."
Autumn looked as if she had no idea what had just happened. Since she was a hunting dog(猎狗) by nature, I expected her to run after the rabbit, but no, it was the rabbit that ran after her.
In fact, just one strong shake of the head or neck from Autumn could scare off the rabbit and make him not dare to hang around her. However, instead of hurting the rabbit, Autumn made the rabbit's effort to show his power a game. She seemed to enjoy being run after.

2.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Researchers found that listening to high-pace music makes people feel like they're working out less while also benefiting their bodies more.”可知,研究者发现听快节奏的音乐使人们感觉好像他们运动得更少同时也更有益于他们的身体,C项“它有助于很容易地完成更好的锻炼”符合题意。
3.答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。画线词所在句子的意思与第五段第二句所表达的意思相同,都是在说听快节奏的音乐会产生的结果,由第五段第二句我们可以知道听快节奏的音乐更有益于人们的身体,所以此处指的是这(运动时听快节奏的音乐)意味着运动似乎不那么费力,但就加强身体素质而言,它更有益。故选D。
B
4.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“but I've learnt to read music(但是我已经学会了识谱）”可知一个翻乐谱的人应该学会识谱，故答案为A项。
5.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“A lot of skills are needed for the job.(这份工作需要大量的技巧。)”以及下文中的关键信息“have to”和“make sure”可综合推断Titterton在舞台上的工作要求很高，故选C项。boring 没趣的，令人厌倦(或厌烦）的；well-paid 工资高的；dangerous 危险的。
6.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“and each pianist has their own style of 'nodding' to indicate a page turn(每个钢琴家都有自己的‘点头’风格来示意翻页）”可推断Titterton需要识别钢琴家发出的“点头”信号，才能准确地翻页，故答案为B项。
7.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn，turn！' (他对音乐很感兴趣，能感受到每一个音符，我不得不提醒他：‘翻页，翻页！’）”可推断他由于专注于音乐，忘了翻页，故答案为D项。
C
8.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。由第四段中的“Despite our poor childhood, my siblings and I were always fed with love.”可知作者小时候家里很穷,但是作者和作者的兄弟姐妹总是被给予爱,所以她小时候又是很幸福的。故选B。
9.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的“I had to make a decision: to work towards the more practical goal of medical school or my love for music.”及第七段中的"I've come to realize that for my career, I've let all personal pleasures fall away.”可知,作者放弃学钢琴的主要原因是学业和职业上的压力。故选B。

14.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段画线词所在的句子及其上一句可知,充满建议、鼓励、生活教诲和严厉的父爱,《傅雷家书》成为中国的畅销书。傅雷的话除了影响了一代中国人之外,在他去世后很长一段时间里,他的话也引起了这些信写给的那个人(傅聪)的共鸣,所以此处的they指代的是前文提到的《傅雷家书》里的信件。故选A。
15.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“First you must be a person, then an artist, and then a musician, and only then can you be a pianist”可知,首先你必须成为一个人,然后是艺术家,然后是音乐家,只有那时你才能成为钢琴家,由此判断,成为一个钢琴家需要各方面的品质。故选B。
第二节
答案：GCABE
解析：①细节句。设空处上一句提到“超过10亿的年轻人由于长时间听巨大的声音而面临听力损失的风险”,G项“听音乐或看电视节目时音量很大会损害你的听力”与上文表达的意思一致,顺承上文内容,符合语境。
②主旨句。设空处下文提到了我们内耳中毛细胞的情况,长时间听巨大的声音可能会使毛细胞工作过度,导致其死亡,C项“巨大的声音对内耳有害”可以很好地概括下文所述内容,符合语境,“inner ear”为关键词。
③细节句。设空处上一句提到“长时间听巨大的声音会使这些细胞工作过度,导致其中一些细胞死亡”,A项“这就是造成听力损失的原因”是对上文的一个总结,阐述了一些毛细胞死亡会造成的结果—听力损失,符合语境。
④过渡句。设空处上一句提到“有些人可能认为他们的音乐没有那么大声”,而设空处后提到了“如果你在一个像地铁这样嘈杂的地方,你可能会把你的音乐的音量开得太大而没有意识到,之后,当你在一个安静的地方用同样的音量听它时,它可能听起来声音大得令人不舒服”,B项“但这取决于你所在的地方”与设空处上文形成了一种转折关系,同时下文所阐述的内容是对B项所述观点的一个例证,符合语境。
⑤细节句。设空处上一句提到“世界卫生组织表示,大多数声音的‘安全水平’低于80分贝,每周最多40小时”,E项“80分贝的音量水平大致相当于一辆地铁的声音”是对上文提到的“80分贝的音量”的具体解释,让读者对80分贝的音量有了一个更形象的认识,符合语境。
第二部分 语言知识运用

解析：1. 下文提到的麦当劳的收银员和远房的亲戚都是不熟悉的人。故选C。
2. 此题可以和第3题一起解出。由第一段我们可以知道作者是一个非常害羞的人,而此处是对作者害羞的一个具体的描述,指的是当被要求在课上说话的时候,她几乎不能呼吸,更别提说话了,故本题选D,下一题选B。
3. 解析见上一题。
4. 此题注意词语的搭配,上声乐课应该用动词take。故选C。
5. 上一句提到姐姐建议作者上声乐课,因此作者要考虑一下。故选B。
6. 根据下文“I thought I would do better than before”可知,作者经过多次练习后,最终对自己的声音有了自信。故选A。

15. 据前文“After that, I started singing to myself”及“how much people liked my singing”可知,唱歌使作者更加外向。故选D。
第二节
答案：①to be②on③was diagnosed④discouraged⑤called⑥What⑦Listening⑧relief⑨a⑩periods
解析：①考查动词不定式。feel honoured to do sth.表示“做某事感到很荣幸”,故填to be。句意:很荣幸来到这里和大家分享音乐是如何影响我的人生的故事。
②考查介词。have an impact on...对……有影响。故填on。
③考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。由时间状语two years ago可知应用一般过去时;主语I与diagnose之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语为I,故填was diagnosed。句意:两年前,我被诊断出患有一种难以治愈的严重疾病。
④考查形容词。在本句中,and连接两个并列成分,由and前的Afraid可推测此处是形容词短语作状语,用来说明主语的状态,故填形容词discouraged,此处表达的意思是“既害怕又沮丧,我认为我活不了多久了”。
⑤考查过去分词。主句中已有谓语动词appeared,所以这里需填非谓语动词,又因为call与其逻辑主语song之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语修饰 song,所以此处填called。句意:幸运的是,当我不得不经历两个小时的治疗时,一首名为《快乐》的歌出现了。
⑥考查主语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导主语从句,主语从句中缺少meant的宾语,所以填What。句意:音乐对我来说是心灵的良药。
⑦考查动名词。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句中作主语,此处指“听音乐给我快乐,使我的心情像风中的风筝一样飞翔”,句中有谓语gave和made,所以用动名词作主语,故填Listening。
⑧考查名词。设空处作brought的直接宾语,所以这里用relieve的名词relief。
⑨考查冠词。此处指“音乐给了我希望和一种满足感”。a sense of...一种……感觉。故填不定冠词a。
⑩考查名词复数。此处指“我们都会经历各种不同的时期”,period意为“时期”时为可数名词,由设空处前的various可知此处应填复数名词periods。
第三节
Good morning, everyone,
My name is Li Hua. When it comes to music, we have our own stories. As for me, music actually offered me enough power to overcome difficulties. When failing in the mid-term examination, I felt so upset that I refused to communicate with my friends, even my parents. When I heard some inspiring songs, which gave me confidence, I gradually ignored the failure and spared no effort to study. Finally, I made great progress in the final examination. From my experience, I hope that you can obtain the power which music offers to achieve your own dreams.
Thanks for your listening.
答案：
Paragraph 1:
When the rabbit ran after her, she just ran in circles to avoid him. We watched from the kitchen window as an unusual friendship began to form. Soon the rabbit realized Autumn wasn't a possible danger to him. Even with the power to kill him, she allowed him to share her place. A few days passed and we realized a new home was not necessary because we didn't want to separate the pair.
Paragraph 2:
As this friendship grew allowed the rabbit to come in our house more. My husband even created an area in the house for him to sleep and eat. Every night, I would put him into his area while Autumn just followed me upstairs to sleep in our bedroom. Each morning, I took him outside to the back yard for the day, where he played with Autumn, running after each other. It was really a lovely and happy scene.
