——译文对释——
虚拟合唱团
想象一下,当你独自在家的时候,有机会和数百人一起唱歌。你可以在虚拟合唱团中做到这样。虚拟合唱团成员在独自表演时录制视频。这些视频被传到网上,然后被整合成一个你可以在网上看到的视频——这就是虚拟合唱团。任何人都可以在任何地方参加虚拟合唱团——你所需要的只是将一台摄像机和互联网连接。你甚至不需要演播室。虚拟合唱团有助于将普通人联系在一起。许多人没有和他们一样对音乐感兴趣的亲密朋友或熟人。还有许多人没有机会加入当地的合唱团。虚拟合唱团能使他们把自己的声音和其他人的声音合在一起,成为全球社区的一部分。事实证明,它对许多人的生活产生了积极的影响。正如一位虚拟合唱团成员所说, “音乐帮助我……忘记我的问题。因为有了音乐,我变得脱胎换骨。”
虚拟合唱团是获奖作曲家兼指挥家埃里克·惠塔克的主意。惠塔克于1970年1月2日出生在美国,1988年开始在内华达大学学习音乐。当他为大学合唱团唱歌时,他爱上了莫扎特的古典音乐。他被这段音乐打动了,他说, “那种(兴奋的)感觉就如同是第一次看见色彩一样。” 他1995年大学毕业,随后于1997年获纽约茱莉亚音乐学院音乐创作硕士学位。在接下来的10年里,惠塔克的原创作曲开始在合唱团和歌手中相当地受欢迎,这促使他创建了虚拟合唱团。
2009年,惠塔克收到了一段视频,视频中一个女孩在唱他的一支作品。(惠塔克因此)受到启发,他让他的粉丝们制作视频,然后他也一起参与进来,把这些视频组合成一场表演。他的第一个虚拟合唱团 “Lux Aurumque” 有来自12个不同国家的185名歌手。这段视频已经在互联网上获得了数百万的浏览量。从那时起,虚拟合唱团成为一种全球性的现象。惠塔克的第二个壮举是打造联合国儿童基金会 “虚拟青年合唱团”,该团于2014年7月23日在英国首次登台演出。总共有来自80个国家的2 292名青年参与演唱了惠塔克的歌曲《如果》。
虚拟合唱团是一种美妙的方式,让世界各地的人们都能同声歌唱,世界因此变得更美好。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like The chances are that you don't.You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler.But scientists found that people's music taste changes as time goes by.Thus, it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents', whether you like it or not.
We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices.But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter different age stages, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste.There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.
The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.
But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change.They want to build close relationships with others.As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&B, which is usually uplifting and danceable.
When middle age comes, most people have settled down.During this period, people prefer jazz and classical music, as well as music like country, folk and the blues.
As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods.They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country and jazz.But you must be questioning, “Aren't there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are.But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed.At that age people may listen to rock music to remind themselves of their youth.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们的音乐品味会随着年龄的变化而变化。
1.What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy
A.They are worth listening to.
B.They are actually less cool.
C.They are especially serious.
D.They are hard to understand.
B [细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler.”可知,年轻人会认为父母喜欢的音乐过时又无聊,没有自己的音乐酷。故选B。]
2.How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life
A.Two.       B.Three.
C.Four. D.Five.
C [细节理解题。第二段最后一句指出人们在一生中会经历一些音乐时期,下面的第三、四、五、六段介绍了四个音乐时期(青少年时期、青年时期、中年时期、老年时期)。故选C。]
3.What kind of music do teenagers prefer
A.Punk rock. B.Country.
C.Jazz. D.Pop.
A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk rock”可知,青少年喜欢朋克摇滚乐。故选A。]
4.What is the best title for the text
A.People Have Different Opinions on Music
B.People's Taste in Music Changes with Time
C.People Listen to Music for the Same Reason
D.People's Lifestyle Can Be Changed by Music
B [标题归纳题。文章的前两段主要点出人们的音乐品味会随着人们的年龄变化而变化这样一个观点,且文章第二段的最后一句指出人们在一生中会经历一些音乐时期,下面的第三、四、五、六段具体介绍了四个音乐时期(青少年时期、青年时期、中年时期、老年时期),由此可知文章主要介绍了人们对音乐的品味随着时间的推移而变化。故B项适合作文章的标题。]
【高频词汇】

长难句
原句 But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter different age stages, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。that引导宾语从句,作noticed的宾语,该宾语从句中又含有as引导的时间状语从句,“so does their music taste”为“so+助动词+主语”的结构,表示另一事物也有同样的属性、特征或情况。
译文 但剑桥大学的研究人员注意到,随着人们进入不同的年龄阶段,他们的社会环境会发生变化,他们的音乐品味也会发生变化。
B
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.At 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.At 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(给……打气).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 made people feel like they were 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 meant 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.

5.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.
C.Shoot with fixed music.
D.Shoot with no music.
A [细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“At 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。]
6.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.
C [推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Researchers found that listening to high pace music made people feel like they were 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。 ]
7.What does the underlined word “enhancing” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A.Reducing.      B.Balancing.
C.Changing. D.Strengthening.
D [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。]

Part Ⅱ Discovering Useful Structures
Ⅰ.语法图解
Ⅱ.自主领悟
观察下列句子并归纳:
1.(教材原句)Henry was highly interested in music and began to...
2.(教材原句)They were pleased with his music and songs...
3.(教材原句)Moved by this music,he said,“It was like seeing color for the first time.”
4.(教材原句)Born in the USA on 2 January 1970, Whitacre began studying music at the University of Nevada in 1988.
5.(教材原句)Inspired, he asked his fans to make videos, which he then joined together into one performance.
归纳:
1.句1中的interested和句2中的pleased为过去分词作表语,主要表示主语的状态和特征。
2.句4中的过去分词短语在句中作时间状语。
3.句3、5中的过去分词短语在句中作原因状语。
Ⅲ.要点精析
过去分词,也称动词的 ed形式,是一种非限定动词。规则动词的 ed形式由动词原形词尾加 ed构成,也有不规则动词变化表。 ed形式一般表示被动和完成,只有一种形式,没有时态和语态的形式变化。它在句子中可以充当定语、宾语补足语等成分。
一、过去分词作表语
1.意义
位于系动词(如be,get,become,look,feel,seem等)之后,多表示主语的状态或状况,它所体现的是形容词的特性。
She looked disappointed.
她看上去很失望。
We were encouraged at the news.
听到这个消息我们很受鼓舞。
2.过去分词作表语与被动语态的区别
过去分词作表语时,强调主语所处的状态,而动词的被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者,强调动作。
The cup is broken.
杯子破了。(系表结构)
The cup was broken by Tom.杯子是被汤姆打破的。(被动语态)
3.现在分词与过去分词作表语的区别
过去分词 表示人自身的感受或事物自身的状态,常译作“感到……的”
现在分词 表示事物具有的特性,常译作“令人……的”
They became so worried that they stayed awake all night.
他们变得如此担心,以致一整晚都没有睡觉。
I believe these miles are worrying for some reasons.
我相信这段距离令人担忧是有原因的。
[即学即练1]
*用所给动词的正确形式填空
①I was too tired (tire) to walk any further.
②When he heard the moving story,he was deeply moved.(move)
③Tom was more surprised (surprise) than disappointed (disappoint) at this news.
④The situation became so worrying (worry)that something should be done at once.
二、过去分词作状语的用法
过去分词在句中作状语修饰谓语动词或整个句子,可以表时间、原因、条件、让步、方式或伴随情况等,它的逻辑主语通常就是句子的主语,过去分词所表示的动作与主语之间是动宾关系,即被动关系。
1.作时间状语
相当于一个由when,while或after等引导的时间状语从句。
When it is seen from the top of the hill,the park looks more beautiful.
=Seen from the top of the hill,the park looks more beautiful.
从山顶往下看,这座公园看起来更漂亮。
2.作原因状语
相当于一个由as,since或because等引导的原因状语从句。
Because the teacher was satisfied with what he did,the teacher praised him in class.
=Satisfied with what he did,the teacher praised him in class.
由于老师对他所做的事情很满意,于是在班上表扬了他。
3.作条件状语
相当于一个由if,once或unless等引导的条件状语从句。
If we are united we stand;if we are divided we fall.
=United,we stand;divided,we fall.
团结就是胜利;分裂必然失败。
4.作让步状语
相当于一个由though,although或even if,even though等引导的让步状语从句,这类分词或分词短语一般放在句子前面。
Although he has been explained a hundred times, he still can't understand it.
=Explained a hundred times, he still can't understand it.
即使解释一百遍,他还是不会明白。
5.作方式或伴随状语
若有连词as if,就转换为as if引导的方式状语从句;若无连词,则转换为并列结构。
①She was in tears as if she was deeply moved by the moving film.
=She was in tears as if deeply moved by the moving film.
她眼泪汪汪,好像被这部感人的电影深深打动了。
②She sat by the window,and she was lost in thought.
=She sat by the window,lost in thought.
她坐在窗户边,陷入了沉思。
【名师点拨】
过去分词与现在分词作状语的区别
形式 意义
过去分词 表示的动作与主语之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,即表被动
现在分词 表示的动作与主语之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系,即表主动
Seen in the distance,the village looks more beautiful.
从远处看,这个村庄看上去更漂亮。(see和the village之间是逻辑上的动宾关系)
Seeing from the hill,we can see a beautiful village.
从山上看,我们可以看到一个漂亮的村庄。(see和we之间是逻辑上的主谓关系)
三、过去分词作状语的注意事项
1.过去分词作状语时,其前面可以带有相应的连词,如when,though,although,as if,as though,if,unless,until,once等,表时间、让步、条件、方式等。
①When (he was) asked about it,he could hardly hold back his feelings.
当被问及此事,他难以控制自己的感情。
②Unless (I am) invited,I won't attend the party.
除非受到邀请,否则我不会参加聚会。
2.过去分词(短语)作状语时,分词的逻辑主语与句子的主语要一致。
①The film star got off the train and she was surrounded by her fans.
=The film star got off the train,surrounded by her fans.
那位电影明星走下火车,被她的粉丝团团围住。
②After the plan was discussed many times,the plan was carried out at last.
=Discussed many times,the plan was carried out at last.
在讨论了许多次之后,这个计划最终被执行了。
3.有些过去分词已形容词化,作状语时表示人的状态。
常见的有:satisfied,surprised,excited,delighted,interested,moved,worried,pleased,disappointed等。
Surprised at what had happened,Tom didn't know what to do.
汤姆对所发生的事情感到非常惊讶,以至于不知如何是好。
【巧学助记】
分词作状语记忆口诀
分词作状语,主语是问题。
逗号前后两动作,共用一主语。
主语找出后,再来判关系。
主动用 ing,被动用 ed。
having (been) done表先后,千万要牢记。
[即学即练2]
*写出下列句中黑体部分分别作什么状语
①Clearly and thoughtfully written,the book inspires confidence in students who wish to seek their own answers.原因状语
②Time,used correctly,is money in the bank.条件状语
③If asked to look after luggage for someone else,inform the police at once.条件状语

Michael Morgan was six years old when his father moved a neighbor's unwanted piano into their living room.“And that's really where the whole thing started,” he said.“My mother and grandmother had played the piano a little bit, but my father just thought it was a good thing to have in the house.” Young Michael started piano lessons, but it was when he saw a conductor leading an orchestra on television that he realized what he really wanted to do.
At the age of eight, he began reading The Joy of Music and got to know how to direct with a baton (指挥棒).
When Michael entered junior high, he joined an orchestra and learned to play many instruments.He was just 12 years old when his instructor asked him to compose and conduct a concert piece.And that was only the beginning.Throughout high school, he continued to develop his artistic talent, and after graduating, he headed to Oberlin Conservatory of Music.
Morgan was devoted to offering kids a chance to explore classical music.In his hometown of Oakland, California, he started to volunteer in local schools, conducting student orchestras and talking with kids about music.Later, Morgan developed MUSE (Music for Excellence), a music education program for kids.
He brought musicians from the Oakland Symphony into classrooms to teach kids.He also worked with teachers in after school programs to teach students who couldn't afford lessons.
Morgan said his work was mostly about providing young people with an entrance into music.“Instruments are a way for kids to express their feelings, and give them an interest they can carry with them through life,” he said.

5.When did Michael begin to learn how to conduct
A.After he developed MUSE.
B.After he read The Joy of Music.
C.After he was asked to compose and conduct a concert piece.

Ⅱ.七选五
Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world.Similarly, music is a part of many people's lives. 1 Here are some of their similarities.
Both language and music have a writing system
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters.Similarly, we use notes(音符) to keep a record of music.Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. 2 For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.
Both vary with culture
3 In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through different music.This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don't like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.
Both share emotion
How do you know that I am angry? 4 Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy.Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allow us to share that emotion.When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song. 5
A.Different cultures make different music.
B.Both language and music play a huge role in our lives.
C.You can guess where someone is from by listening to his language.
D.By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time.
E.In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down.
F.Of course, you may be able to see it on my face, but you will know for sure through my words.
G.We have all used music to express our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of lyrics(歌词).
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐和语言的一些相似性。
1.B [设空处上文提到“语言是我们日常生活中的一部分,无论我们生活在世界的哪个角落。同样,音乐也是许多人生活的一部分”,B项“语言和音乐在我们的生活中都扮演着重要的角色”承接上文内容。故选B。]
2.D [设空处下一句提到“例如,我们可以读到生活在几百年前的人的思想或听到他们的作品,这真的很令人兴奋”,D项“通过阅读文章或音乐片段,我们能够穿越时间分享经历”是对下文所举例子的概括表述。故选D。]
3.C [由上面的小标题“Both vary with culture”可知这段主要是在说语言和音乐因文化而异,设空处下一句“同样,我们知道世界各地的音乐风格是不同的,这让我们有机会通过不同的音乐来探索许多不同的文化”是从音乐方面进行阐述,C项“你可以通过听某个人的语言来猜测他来自哪里”是从语言方面进行阐述。故选C。]
易错归因 本题容易误选A项,A项所说的“不同的文化造就不同的音乐”单从主题意思上看与本段所述主题是一致的,但是我们要注意这里是在陈述语言和音乐两个主体,同时特别关注设空处下一句中的“In the same way”,由此我们可以知道这里要从语言因文化而异这个角度进行阐述。]
4.F [由上面的小标题“Both share emotion”可知这段主要是在说语言和音乐都可以分享情绪,设空处上一句提到“你如何知道我生气了呢?”,设空处下一句提到“同样,音乐可以听起来是生气的、伤心的或者高兴的”,F项“当然,你也许能从我的脸上看出来,但你会很确定地从我的话中知道”回答了上文所提的问题,同时也与下文联系紧密(此处从语言层面阐述,下文从音乐方面阐述)。故选F。]
5.E [设空处上一句提到“当你感到快乐的时候,你可能想唱一首快乐的歌并随其舞蹈”,E项“相反,当你感到沮丧的时候,你可能也听过悲伤的音乐”与上文联系紧密。故选E。]

分析 本句是一个主从复合句。who lived hundreds of years ago为who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词someone;which is really quite exciting为which引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面整个主句的内容。
译文 例如,我们可以读到生活在几百年前的人的思想或听到他们的作品,这真的很令人兴奋。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Alice一直都想成为一名歌手,但多年来,Alice的嗓音一直都没有提升,后来在Alice的音乐会结束后,老师不想伤害Alice的感情,便想了一个主意来称赞她的技艺。
1.who/that [考查定语从句。句意:我的朋友有一个女儿,名叫Alice,她一直都想成为一名歌手。设空处无提示词,设空处前面是Alice,“1. always wanted to be a singer”中缺少主语,由此推测设空处引导定语从句,修饰的先行词即为Alice,所以用关系代词who或that。]
2.truth [考查名词。 to tell you the truth意为“说实话,老实说”。故填truth。]
3.Honestly [考查副词。设空处修饰整个句子,作状语,故用副词形式,设空处位于句首,首字母大写,故填Honestly。]
4.louder [考查形容词比较级。分析句子成分可知,设空处在句中作表语,此处表示“她的嗓音并没有提升,说实话,它没有变得更好,只是声音变得更大了”,此处有比较的含义,故填louder。]
5.stopped [考查动词时态。设空处在句中作谓语,与gave up为并列成分,讲述的是过去的事情,所以应该用一般过去时,故填stopped。]
6.to give [考查动词不定式。refuse to do sth.意为“拒绝做某事”,所以填to give。 ]
7.from [考查介词。graduate from意为“从……毕业”。故填from。]
8.worried [考查形容词。句意:老师很担心演出结束以后要说什么。be worried about意为“担心……”。故填worried。]
9.but [考查连词。句意:她不想说谎,但她也不想伤害Alice的感情。设空处前后内容在意思上是转折的关系。故填but。]
10.an [考查冠词。此处指“她想到了一个主意”,此处表示泛指,且idea发音以元音音素开头,故填an。]
