Ⅰ．阅读理解
The arts，especially music，should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills，like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students，but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program，children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band，students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self confidence，too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of，and it lets kids practice performing in front of the audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self expression，and that helps develop their self confidence.
Once again，music is important because it can make children better students，give them something positive to do，and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
( )1．According to the passage，music could make students smarter by ________.
A．improving their classroom skills and paying attention
B．improving their classroom skills and imagination
C．improving their attention，direction and imagination
D．learning music，making music and trying out their own ideas
( )2．What does the underlined phrase “glued to” in the second paragraph mean
A．Unwilling to turn on. B．Always looking.
C．Unwilling to leave. D．Always playing.
( )3．The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could ________ .
A．give children self-expression and self confidence
B．lead to children achievement and success
C．give children something to be proud of
D．develop children’s self confidence
( )4．What’s the best title for this passage
A．Music is a Must as a Course at School
B．Music Builds Children’s Self confidence
C．Music Makes Students Much Smarter
D．Learning Music and Making Music
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。音乐在学生的成长过程中作用不容忽视，是学校必须设置的一门课程。
1．B 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. ”和第三句“They could improve their classroom skills…”和第五句“Making music also lets children use their imagination. ”可知B项正确。
2．C 词义猜测题。画线词所在句的意思为：父母能够享受听他们的孩子玩音乐的乐趣而不是看见他们全神贯注于电脑或电视屏幕。根据语境可推断C项与画线词意义相同。
3．D 段落大意题。根据第三段首句“Music builds self-confidence，too. ”可知D项正确。
4．A 标题归纳题。第一段第一句“The arts，especially music，should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. ”为本篇文章的主题句。故A项为最佳标题。

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。因为父亲是杂耍演员，作者小时候一直在马戏团里生活，后来父亲决定离开，作者一开始很不习惯。马戏团的生活教会了作者很多，他后来因此得到了在电视台工作的机会，但作者意识到自己真正想要的是表演，于是决定去为观众表演。
1．B 句意：在过去的15年里，我父亲一直是一名杂耍演员——他将喜剧和马戏技巧结合在一起。根据下文中的“a combination of comedy and circus skills”可推断，作者的父亲应该是一名杂耍演员，拥有喜剧和马戏技巧。故选B项。
2．D 句意：在我出生前的几年，他参与了一次全国巡回演出。根据上文中的“I was 6 years old … leaving the Big Apple Circus. ”和“For the past 15 years”可知，作者的父亲在作者6岁时决定离开马戏团，而他在马戏团工作了15年。所以在作者出生前，作者的父亲已经从事这份职业了。故选D项。
3．D 句意：同上题。根据上文中的“…leaving the Big Apple Circus”可知，作者的父亲之前在马戏团工作，所以应该是参与马戏团的全国巡演。故选D项。
4．C 句意：离开马戏团后的最初几年过得很艰难。根据下文中的“but for me, sitting in a classroom all day felt more like a prison. ”可知，对于作者来说，整天坐在教室里就像坐牢，所以离开马戏团的日子一开始应该很艰难。故选C项。

6．D 句意：但在这个过程中，我发现了很多启发我的地方。根据下文中的“I took the skills …to broadcasting. ”可知，作者从马戏团的舞台学到了技巧，所以马戏团生活给了作者很多启发。故选D项。
7．B 句意：我把在舞台上学到的技巧运用到广播中。根据上文中的“I took the skills I had learnt from being onstage”可知，作者从马戏团中学到了舞台技巧，所以应该是把这些技巧运用于广播中。故选B项。

9．C 句意：同上题。A．met with与……相遇；B．turned to求助于；C．jumped at迫不及待地接受；D．focused on关注。根据下文中的“And I found I really enjoyed the work. ”可知，作者很享受工作，所以应该是立即接受了这个机会。故选C项。
10．D 句意：最后，我成了公共广播网新闻台主要的突发新闻记者。根据上下文语境和生活常识可知，作者从兼职工作做起，到后来成了正式的员工，最终成了突发新闻记者。故选D项。

12．A 句意：对我来说，马戏团一直是我身份中必不可少的组成部分。根据下文中的“it’s who I am”可知，马戏团(表演)就是作者的身份象征，所以是作者身份中必不可少的部分。故选A项。
13．C 句意：简单地说，这就是我。根据上文中的“For me, the circus has always been a(n)__12__ part of my identity. ”以及下文中的“it’s who I am”可知，作者把想表达的内容简化了。短语simply put为固定搭配，意为“简单来说”。故选C项。
14．B 句意：舞台一直是我感觉最自由的地方。根据上文中的“performing was what I truly wanted”可知，作者真正想要的是表演，所以感到最自由的地方应该是舞台。故选B项。

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了舞狮这一民间表演艺术形式。
1．acted 考查动词 ed形式。句意：舞狮，是由穿着狮子服的人进行的一种民间表演，通常在中国新年和其他中国传统、文化和宗教节日期间表演。分析句子可知，空处所在句子已有谓语is performed，故空处作非谓语。动词act与其逻辑主语a folk show是动宾关系，应用动词 ed形式作定语。故填acted。

6．is 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：最让观众印象深刻的是伴随着锣鼓演奏的各种狮子的动作。分析句子可知，“What impresses the audience most”是单个主语从句作主语，谓语动词用单数，又因此处描述客观事实，故用一般现在时。故填is。
7．particularly 考查副词。句意：随着中国人移民到国外，舞狮在全世界出名，特别是在东南亚国家。根据空后的“in Southeast Asian countries”可知，此处应用particular的副词形式，在句中作状语。故填particularly。

In the course of our lives，someone with whom we got acquainted(熟悉的) by accident often inspires us.
Early one morning，I opened the window to find that the sun was splashed everywhere. The sunshine warmed my face，making it comfortable. I started to play my beloved violin. My mind was quite focused，my spirit firm，and my mood entirely free of worry. When I was playing the climax to the piece，a sound from next door got my attention.
I was fascinated and had a special idea：“How wonderful if we played together！” I began to play pieces by Beethoven with my neighbour，one piece after another. We played together so well that I was curious about how she or he looked. However，I couldn’t figure out why the violinist next door never responded when I knocked on the door. I was extremely disappointed.
A year later，I took part in a violin competition. At the event，I made a new friend，whose name was Rita. This girl，who was my age，was deaf and dumb，but she had played the violin for eight years！I saw Rita carefully walk onto the stage. She put the violin between her neck and shoulder and began to perform. “The melody is so familiar！” I said to myself. It was unbelievable that a girl who was deaf and dumb could play such marvelous music. The audience warmly applauded her. What was even harder to believe was that the girl was my neighbour. It was fate that we should meet and become friends.
Rita’s story made me realise that life is not always sunny or poetic；sometimes there are violent storms and setbacks. However，no matter what you suffer，believe in yourself and strive. You can succeed.
( )14．Why was there no response every time the author knocked on his neighbour’s door
A．Because his neighbour had moved away.
B．Because his neighbour meant to decline him.
C．Because his neighbour was hearing challenged.
D．Because his neighbour was too excited to respond.
( )15．What is the message conveyed in the last paragraph
A．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
B．Happiness exists in acceptance.
C．A fall in the pit，a gain in your wit.
D．Smile to life，and you’ll get a smile back.
( )16．The author wrote this text mainly to ________.
A．introduce his neighbour Rita
B．value his friendship with Rita
C．speak highly of Rita’s violin skills
D．show the inspiration he got from Rita

16．D 写作意图题。根据第一段中的“inspires us”并结合最后一段的内容可知，作者写这篇文章是为了展示他从Rita那里得到的启示。故选D项。

One possible version：
Dear Tom，
I’m glad to learn from your last e mail that you showed great interest in a Chinese drama form—shadow play. Now here is what I know about it.
As far as I know，it is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment in which the players hold the character puppets made of animal skins or hard paper boards with coloured paintings. The characters are reflected on a white screen under a source light behind the screen，singing and dancing controlled by the players with the silk string. Shadow play with written records dates back to the Song Dynasty. It plays an important role in the invention of the modern movie and the development of the movies and cartoons.
Looking forward to your coming to China to enjoy the ancient treasure yourself.
Yours sincerely，

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国传统乐器的分类、与西方乐器的对比及中西方管弦乐队的对比。
1．that/which 考查定语从句。句意：中国的乐器传统上根据制作材料分为八类。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词materials。先行词指物且在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
2．The 考查冠词。句意：八种材料分别是金属、石、丝绸、竹子、葫芦、黏土、皮革和木材。根据空后的“eight material groups”可知，此处应用定冠词，特指八种乐器材料。故填The。
3．mainly 考查副词。句意：竹制乐器主要指木管乐器，如笙、笛子和箫等。空处修饰动词短语refers to，应用main的副词形式，在句中作状语。故填mainly。
4．examples 考查名词的数。句意：钟、锣和钹是金属乐器的好例子。根据空前的“are good”可知，此处应用名词的复数形式，在句中作表语。故填examples。
5．earliest 考查形容词的最高级。句意：七弦乐器，被称为古琴，是中国最早的弦乐器之一。根据空前的“is one of the”可知，此处应用形容词的最高级。故填earliest。
6．remains 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：今天，它仍然很受欢迎。分析句子可知，空处作谓语，再根据时间状语Today可知用一般现在时。主语it为第三人称单数，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填remains。
7．performing 考查动词 ing形式。句意：这里有一个著名的古琴大师李湘亭教授在古琴上演奏古典作品《流水》的例子。分析句子可知，空处作非谓语动词。动词perform与其逻辑主语Professor Liu Xiangting为主谓关系，应用动词 ing形式，在句中作定语。故填performing。
8．of 考查介词。句意：在西方传统中，乐器似乎是同一家族中的一部分，但在中国传统中有不同的分类。短语“part of …”为固定搭配，意为“……的一部分”。故填of。
9．are organised 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：现代中国管弦乐队的组织方式与西方管弦乐队相同，在乐队和座位安排方面都是如此。分析句子可知，空处作谓语，描述客观事实用一般现在时，又因主语Modern Chinese orchestras和动词organise是动宾关系，因此空处应用一般现在时的被动语态。主语为复数名词，be动词用are。故填are organised。
10．but 考查连词。句意：因此，中国管弦乐队有木管和弦乐两部分，但你几乎找不到双簧管或小提琴。根据语境可知，空前的句子和空后的句子之间存在转折关系，应用并列连词but。故填but。
Ⅲ．读后续写
Bobby was getting cold sitting out in his backyard in the snow. Bobby didn’t wear boots; or rather, he didn’t own any. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them and they did a poor job of keeping out the cold.
Bobby had been in his backyard for about an hour already. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift. He shook his head as he thought, “This is useless. Even if I do come up with an idea, I don’t have any money for a gift. ”
Wiping tears from his eyes, Bobby started walking down to the street where the shops were. It wasn’t easy being six without a father, especially when he needed a man to talk to.
Bobby walked from shop to shop，looking into each decorated window. Everything seemed so beautiful but so out of reach. It was starting to get dark and Bobby reluctantly turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the glimmer(微光) of the setting sun’s rays reflecting on something on the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime(十分硬币).
Never before has anyone felt as wealthy as Bobby did at that moment. As he held his newly found treasure, warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store. His excitement quickly turned cold when salesperson told him that he could not buy anything with only a dime.
He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother’s Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Bobby and his offering ten cent. Then he put his hand on Bobby’s shoulder, saying, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you. ”
The sound of the door closing as the last customer left pulled Bobby back to reality. All alone in the shop, Bobby began to feel alone and afraid.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
Eventually the shop owner came out and moved to the counter.
_____________________________
One possible version：
Eventually the shop owner came out and moved to the counter. There, before Bobby’s eyes, lay twelve red roses, with leaves of green and tiny white flowers all tied together with a big silver tape. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man. ” the shop owner said, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime. “Could this be true？” he wondered.
With the bunch of beautiful roses in his hands, Bobby backed off and then turned and ran. _____________________________
One possible version：
With the bunch of beautiful roses in his hands, Bobby backed off and then turned and ran. Within minutes, he was at home, still breathless. “Look, Mother，what have I got for you？” Bobby called out in the backyard. Mother came out from inside the house. She could hardly believe her eyes upon seeing the beautiful flowers in front of her. “Merry Christmas！” Bobby said and began to tell her everything he had experienced in the flower shop. Tearfully, Mother hugged her son in her arms. Standing in the bitter cold air, they somehow didn’t feel cold at all.UNIT 7 Period Five

Ⅰ．语法填空
Red 1._________(use) in many American expressions. It can be used to show 2._________(happy), as in the expression “a red letter day”．This is a day when something special happens. The expression is probably 3._________(base) on church customs. For almost 600 years，church calendars have been marked 4._________ red to show special holy days.

Red is also used in some expressions that are not happy. To be caught “red handed” is to be caught 10._________(perform) a wrong act.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了Red一词在美国表达中的用途。
1．is used 考查时态、语态与主谓一致。Red与use之间为动宾关系，再结合全文的时态可知，此处用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is used。
2．happiness 考查名词。本空用作动词show的宾语，所以用名词happiness。
3．based 考查固定搭配。be based on 意为“以……为基础”。
4．in 考查介词。be marked in 意为“用(某种颜色)做标记”，是固定搭配。
5．when 考查关系副词。when引导定语从句，修饰先行词day，并在从句中作状语。
6．a 考查冠词。surprise在此是可数名词，表示“令人惊喜的事情”，所以本空用不定冠词。
7．commonly 考查副词。修饰动词heard用副词。
8．which 考查关系代词。设空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语，先行词是expression，指物，故用which。
9．arrives 考查动词的时态。设空处是句子的谓语，空前的the team是句子的主语，而且在这里侧重的是整体，所以谓语动词用单数；全文的时态都是一般现在时。故填arrives。
10．performing 考查动词-ing形式。短语“catch…doing sth”意为“逮住……正在做某事”。

Ⅰ．阅读理解
Johannes Vermeer is such a quiet and introspective(反省的) artist that it took hundreds of years for anyone to notice he was a genius.
A major Vermeer exhibition opens this month at the Louvre in Paris，whose permanent collection includes his great painting，The Lacemaker (about 1669－1670). Like other paintings by Vermeer，this image represents modern culture.
So attracted are today’s art lovers by Vermeer that it was thought shocking when a recent survey found that 82% of Americans can’t name who painted Girl with a Pearl Earring.
Vermeer was one more painter among the many who worked for money in the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. He obviously took himself and his art seriously. His self referential painting The Art of Painting proves that. Even though he worked all his life in Delft，he painted only 35 known works and left his family poor when he died in 1675 at the age of 43．
It is fitting that Paris is celebrating Vermeer，because it was the French avant garde(先锋派) in the 19th century who saved him from being completely forgotten. Compare his painting Woman in Blue Reading a Letter or The Little Street with Edouard Manet’s A Bar at the Folies Bergère(1882) or Camille Pissarro’s The Boulevard Montmartre at Night (1897) and it is easy to see why the art of Vermeer found its natural audience in Parisian Bohemia.
All these artists are likely to have known about and admired Vermeer due to the efforts of the critic Thoré Bürger，a veteran of the 1848 Revolution.
( )1．How many paintings produced by Vermeer are mentioned in the text
A．Four. B．Five.
C．Six. D．Seven.
( )2．What can we know about Vermeer from Paragraph 4
A．He was well known when he was alive.
B．He gained a good fortune for his family.
C．He didn’t witness the popularity of his works.
D．He considered painting as a way to have fun.
( )3．Who made a great contribution to introducing Vermeer to other artists
A．Rembrandt. B．His family.
C．American art lovers. D．Thoré Bürger.
( )4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Rediscovery of Vermeer B．Anecdotes about Vermeer
C．Great Modern French Art D．The Tough Way to Success in Art
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍了著名画家Johannes Vermeer的生平和他的艺术特点。
1．B 细节理解题。通读全文可知，本文共提及Vermeer的五幅画作，包括第二段提及的“The Lacemaker”、第三段提及的“Girl with a Pearl Earring”、第四段提及的“The Art of Painting”、第五段提及的“Woman in Blue Reading a Letter”和“The Little Street”。故选B项。
2．C 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知，尽管他终身在代尔夫特工作，但是直到他在43岁去世时仅留下了35件被人们所知的作品，他是在贫困中离世的；结合第一段可知，人们在数百年后才发现他的艺术价值；据此可以判断，他没能看到他的作品受欢迎。故选C项。
3．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，由于评论家Thoré Bürger的努力，Vermeer才被这些艺术家认可。故选D项。
4．A 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了画家Johannes Vermeer的生平和他的艺术特点。Johannes Vermeer 在世时，画作并不为人所知，最后在贫困中死去；数百年后人们才发现他是个艺术天才。故A项最适合作本文的标题。

(2023山西吕梁高一校考阶段练习)
How to Appreciate Arts in Museums
__1__
You can increase the chance of finding an art piece that you can connect with by going to a museum that interests you. If you’re interested in climate change, for example, you might pick a museum that’s showing artworks inspired by Earth protection.
Keep your museum visit short and focused
Once you’ve picked up the place you want to visit, how do you make the most of your time Art museums can be huge. For example, the Museum of Modern Art in New York has almost 200，000 works. So be realistic about how long you can spend at the museum. __2__. After that, it’s hard to stay focused and remember what you’ve seen.
Really experience the art
Once you have the chance of seeing the real thing at the museum, get up close and take your time to experience it. For example, when you are looking at sculptures, try to copy them with your body. __3__. It can open up new pathways and possibilities of how you might make sense of these things in your life, too.
Keep an open mind to reflect and appreciate
When you are looking at an artwork, try not to think about what you’re about to see. Some artworks may be surprising, while others might be disappointing. __4__. You can love it. You can hate it. You can cry, feel angry or laugh. That’s OK.
Draw personal connections to the artwork
Even though it might not be what the artist intended, a colour, a flower or a pattern in a painting might remind you of something in your own life. So let your mind wander and follow your thought whenever it leads you. __5__.
A．Consider the value of the artwork
B．Then a deep connection will happen
C．You don’t need more than an hour or two
D．Pick a museum that is related to your interest
E．Instead, allow yourself to feel how the art makes you feel
F．Plans to copy something beautiful are nothing to be laughed at
G．It can help you appreciate how artists express their emotions more deeply
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了五个提升参观艺术博物馆体验感的方法。
1．D 根据后文中的“You can increase …to a museum that interests you. ”可知，此处强调的是通过增加兴趣来增加找到一件与你有联系的艺术品的机会，即强调兴趣的作用。D项“选择一个与你兴趣相关的博物馆”引出下文。故选D项。
2．C 根据前文中的“For example, the Museum of Modern Art … spend at the museum. ”可知，此处强调让你的博物馆之旅简短而集中，后文应该提出在博物馆停留多长时间。C项“你不需要超过一两个小时”给出具体的建议。故选C项。
3．G 根据前文中的“For example, when you are looking …your body. ”以及后文中的“It can open up …in your life, too. ”可知，此处强调的是模仿雕像的好处。G项“它可以帮助你更深入地欣赏艺术家如何表达他们的情绪”继续强调模仿雕像的好处。故选G项。
4．E 根据本段的小标题“Keep an open mind to reflect and appreciate(保持开放的心态去反思和欣赏)”以及前文中的“Some artworks may be surprising, while others might be disappointing. ”可知，保持开放的心态去反思和欣赏，不同的艺术作品给予人的感受不同。E项“相反，让自己去感受艺术带给你的感受”与本段的小标题呼应。故选E项。
5．B 根据本段的小标题“Draw personal connections to the artwork(画出个人与艺术作品的联系)”以及空前的“So let your mind wander and follow your thought whenever it leads you. ”可知，此处主要阐述如何与艺术作品建立情感联系，即让你的思想与艺术作品的思想同游，最终就会产生联系。B项“然后一种深层次的联系就会发生”承接上文。故选B项。

Ⅰ．阅读理解
Paper cutting is a very special visual art of Chinese handicrafts. One saying is that it originated from the religious ceremony or offering sacrifices(供品). The ancient people cut paper into animals or people. They either buried them with the dead or burned them on the funerals，wishing that things that paper stood for could be with the dead. Later，they were used to decorate gates and windows during festivals. After hundreds of years’ development，now they have become a very popular means of decoration among country folk，especially women.
It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but very difficult to master it with perfection. Beginners need only a knife and paper. For craftsmen，they need knives and gravers(雕刻刀) of various types to make complicated(复杂的) patterns. It can be one piece of paper or many pieces. Simple patterns can be cut with a knife. For complicated patterns，people first pasted the pattern on the paper and then used various kinds of knives to make it. No mistake can be made during the process otherwise the work would fail.
Paper cutting covers nearly all topics，from flowers，birds，animals，legendary people，figures in classic novels，to types of facial make up in Beijing Opera. Paper cutting has various styles in different parts of China. In the past，women living in the countryside gathered in their free time to make paper cutting，which was a way to judge their skillfulness. As society develops，fewer and fewer people learn this skill while there are some who still regard it as a profession. At present，there are factories and associations for paper cutting in China. Exhibitions and exchanges are held regularly and books of this kind are published. Paper cutting has changed from decoration to a kind of art. At the same time，paper cutting also appears in cartoons，on stage，in magazines or in TV series.
( )1．Why did the ancient burn paper animals or people on the funerals
A．They wanted to give them warmth.
B．They wanted the dead to have enough food.
C．They wanted the paper animals or people to accompany the dead.
D．They wanted the dead to use them as decoration.

Lily felt very excited when the hostess asked her to make a speech. With the gold medal in hand, she said loudly, “I owe my success to Shanda. She taught me better dance movements and techniques. More importantly, she taught me the true love of dance. It struck me what Shanda said about dance — dance for dance itself, to get away from all your problems, and to get away from reality. I come to know what dance really means now. ” With happy tears running down her cheeks, she rushed down to Shanda, giving her a big hug.UNIT 7 Period Four

Dear Tony，
I’m glad to get in touch with you. I’m writing to tell you something about my study now.
You know, I used to be weak in physics but now with the help of our physics teacher, I have made great progress since I entered senior high school this year. How are you getting on with your Chinese learning I believe you’ve also made great progress. By the way, next month I’m going to take a trip to your city. I’ll bring your favourite Chinese tea to you.
Look forward to seeing you.
Yours，
Li Hua
