二、阅读理解（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）
When I was young, I never fully appreciated why my parents signed me up for every music class. I viewed practicing the piano and the violin as a burden, or something that had to be done every day before being able to watch Disney Channel shows.
While the majority of my classmates would bond over their dislike of learning an instrument, I found myself gradually expecting to learn new songs, practice them and perform them. Maybe it's because my parents used Disney Channel as an incentive, or maybe I just needed their early push. Regardless, I came to appreciate music as a form of self-expression.
Learning musical notes has benefits to language development and cognitive(认知的) functions. Studies have shown that the left planum temporale, the part of the brain involved in hearing processing and receptive language, is active when musicians are either reading and listening to music or comprehending speech. But, when non-musicians are listening to music, their brains do not process it in the same area as language—while processing language is a natural ability, music awareness is something that can be obtained through practicing.
Take Finland for example, where the average person learns to speak three to five languages. This is a result of the country's custom of early music training, in which children learn the fundamentals of musical notes through songs and games. In fact, a study reveals a strong connection between children who study music before and the development of higher IQs and a bigger range of vocabulary.
In addition, evolutionary evidence from Oxford University highlights how speech and language started developing merely 200,000 years ago. It's clear that the neural networks of both music and language have overlap(重叠部分), and that our use of speech as a form of communication has its roots in the original evolutionary history of music. So if you're looking to learn something new, consider picking up a new instrument!
11.What was the author's original attitude towards learning musical instruments
A.Uninterested. B.Favorable. C.Cautious. D.Unconcerned.
12.What does the underlined word "incentive" in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Threat. B.Standard. C.Alternative. D.Motivation.
13.What does the example of Finland show
A.Learning musical notes enlarges vocabulary.
B.Children with higher IQs have a rich imagination.
C.Practicing music helps improve language ability.
D.The use of foreign languages increases communicative skills.
14.What does the last paragraph probably imply
A.Language originated from music.
B.Everyone should learn an instrument.
C.The history of language is longer than that of music.
D.Learning music is more difficult than learning languages.

答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案：Travelling
解析：句意为: 沿着丝绸之路旅行是一次既有趣又有意义的经历。本句为主系表结构, 设空处为句子的主语, 应填v.-ing(动名词)形式, 故填Travelling。
2.答案：being recognised
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意:这位电影明星戴着太阳镜， 因此他可以购物时不被认出。根据句意并分析句子结构可知，without是介词,空处应用动词-ing形式，且he与recognise之间为逻辑上的动 宾关系，故用动词-ing形式的被动式。
3.答案：suitable
解析：考查形容词。句意：有许多有趣的书可供选择，但我不知道哪一本适合我。分析句子结构可知，is为系动词，后面需加形容词作表语。故填suitable。
4.答案：to complete
解析：考查动词不定式。“It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.”为固定句式，意为“做某事花费某人一些时间”，故填to complete。句意：我们花了三年时间来完成这项工程。
5.答案：beyond
解析：考查介词。beyond one's expectations 意为“出乎某人的意料”，符合此处语境。故填beyond。句意：天气一般变化无常，有时出乎人们的意料。
6.答案：be accompanied
解析：考查被动语态。动词accompany与主语they之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态。设空处前有情态动词must，故填be accompanied。句意：12岁以下的儿童不得单独前往湖边；他们必须由家长陪同。
7.答案：being left dislike
解析：后接动词-ing形式作宾语，动词leave与其逻辑主语He之间是被动关系，所以用动词-ing 形式的被动形式，故填 being left。句意：他喜欢朋友们的陪伴，不喜欢独自一人。
8.答案：Being defeated
解析：分析句子成分可知，谓语动词made 前是主语，结合“by the visiting team”可知，需用动词-ing 形式的被动形式作主语，故填Being defeated。句意：被客队击败使我们大家都很沮丧。
9.答案：is
解析：分析句子可知，此处为动词-ing形式作主语，谓语动词用单数，且此处陈述一般事实，所以谓语动词用一般现在时，故填is。句意：按时复习学过的知识是提高我们的学习效率的好方法。
10.答案：suitable
解析：考查形容词。设空处修饰名词词组learning methods,应用形容词，故填 suitable。句意：如果你能找到合适的学习方法，你的学习效率很可能会提高。
二、阅读理解
11.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When I was young, I never fully appreciated why...as a burden”可知,作者年轻时不能完全理解为什么父母让自己学习乐器,认为学习乐器是一种负担。由此可推测,最初作者对学习乐器不感兴趣。故选A。
12.答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“I found myself gradually expecting to learn new songs, practice them and perform them”可知,最初对学习乐器不感兴趣的作者逐渐期待学习新歌、练习并表演它们。由此推测,这里的意思是“这可能是因为父母用迪士尼频道作为一种激励”,且incentive与下文中的push相呼应,所以incentive在此处意为“激励;鼓励”。故选D。
13.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段前两句可知,芬兰人学会说三到五种语言是因为小时候接受了音乐训练;结合第三段第一句可知,举芬兰的例子表明练习音乐有助于提高语言能力。故选C。
14.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“our use of speech as a form of communication has its roots in the original evolutionary history of music”可知,语言作为一种交流形式,它起源于音乐最初的进化史。由此可推测,语言起源于音乐。故选A。
三、七选五
答案：GCFDA
解析：①根据后文"The following are 3 key tricks you may learn to increase your confidence.(你可以学习以下3个关键技巧来增强自信)"可知，后文提到了建立自信的技巧，可见自信是可以培养的。故G选项"事实上，自信并不是与生俱来的，而是随着时间的推移学会的"符合语境，故选G。

③根据上文"We all have areas in our professional and personal lives that need to be improved. Ignoring them does not make them go away.(我们在工作和个人生活中都有需要改进的地方。忽视它们并不能让它们消失)"可知，上文提到了忽视需要改进的地方不会让它消失，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文继续说明其影响：恰恰相反，它只会阻碍你的成功，让你保持低信心。故F选项"恰恰相反，它只会阻碍你的成功，让你保持低信心"符合语境，故选F。
④根据上文"Whether you like it or not, people make judgments about you based upon how you dress. You only have one chance to make a good first impression. From a confidence perspective, how you dress directly reflects how you feel about yourself.(不管你喜不喜欢,人们会根据你的穿着来判断你。你只有一次机会留下好的第一印象。从自信的角度来看，你的穿着直接反映了你对自己的感觉"以及"if you are wearing a business suit or sweat pants and a T-shirt(如果你穿的是西装或运动裤和T恤)"可知， 后文列举了穿西装或运动裤和T恤两种不同类型的衣服，可知本句旨在说明衣服让自己对自己的不同感觉。故D选项"研究表明，你会对自己有不同的感觉"符合语境，故选D。
⑤根据后文"You can increase your confidence by seeking out one new challenge at a time. Research shows confident people consistently seek out new challenges. Move on to the next one when one challenge is successfully achieved. Success builds upon itself, therefore, success brings success—all fueled by increased confidence!(你可以通过每次接受一个新的挑战来增强自信。 研究表明，自信的人总是寻求新的挑战。当你成功地完成一个挑战时，就可以继续下一个挑战。成功是建立在自己的基础上的，因此，成功带来成功—这一切都是由更大的信心所推动的!)"可知，本段主旨是通过一次次挑战来建立自信，即通过过程来慢慢建立自信。故A选项"慢慢建立自信"符合语境，故选A。

二、阅读理解（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）
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.”
11.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.
12.Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
13.What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
14.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.

答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案： to
解析：考查介词。句意：首先，你应该向观众介绍你自己。根据句意及所给句子可知，此处是固定短语introduce sb./sth.to sb.“将某人或某物介绍给某人”。故填to。

解析：考查动词。句意：我不是一个外向的女孩，潮湿的天气总是令我沮丧。结合句意可知，主语为wet weather，谓语动词需使用第三人称单数，又由always可知，句子为一般现在时，需填depresses。故填depresses。
3.答案：suitable/suited
解析：考查形容词。句意：这课太难了，不适合初学者。根据句意及句子结构分析可知此空应为形容词，在从句中作表语。此空修饰this lecture，所以形容词suitable意为“合适的”符合句意，构成短语be(not)suitable/suited for表示“合适/不合适”。故填suitable/suited。
4.答案：predication
解析：考查名词。句意:没有多少人同意政府认为经济会好转的预测。所填的词在名词的所有格后,所以用名词形式。
5.答案：was abandoned

6.答案：suitable
解析：考查形容词。句意：一旦他们发现有需要的人，他们就会找到合适的方法来帮助他们。空处应填形容词作定语，修饰名词ways，suitable合适的，形容词。故填suitable。
7.答案：Translated
解析：答案：Translated。sentence与translate之间是动宾关系，要用过去分词作时间状语。故填Translated。
8.答案：suitable

9.答案：distance
解析：考查名词。句意：世界似乎变小了，距离无关紧要。分析句子可知，空格处应用名词，在句中作主语，“distant”意为“遥远的”，形容词词性，对应的名词为“distance”，意为“距离”，为不可数名词。故填distance。
10.答案：to abandon
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：在接到弃船的命令后，路易斯从水中救了更多的人，把他们拖进救生艇。名词order后接不定式作定语。故填to abandon。
二、阅读理解
11.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。
12.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。
13.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。
14.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。
