Beethoven: a remarkable① life
On 7 May 1824, a crowd of② music lovers streamed③ into a theatre in Vienna to hear the first ever④ performance of the great Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No.9.The crowd immediately recognized that they were listening to something truly special, and they broke into enthusiastic⑤ cheers at the end of the symphony.
Beethoven, who was almost completely deaf at this point⑥ in his life, was unaware⑦ of the audience's response until one of the singers turned him around to face the crowd. Before him, he saw a sea of people all standing, clapping, and waving their hats and handkerchiefs⑧ to express their appreciation⑨ of his masterwork.
Symphony No. 9 was Beethoven's last major piece of music in a vast⑩ body of works written throughout his remarkable life[1]. As a gifted child, Beethoven was pushed by his father to study music day and night. Not long after, he began to be appreciated for his piano performances[2]. By the time he was a teenager, he had already enjoyed a reputation as a wonderful young musician. Many important figures in the music world, including the brilliant musician Mozart, started making predictions about Beethoven's extraordinary future.
However, life took a sharp turn. In his late twenties, Beethoven suffered one of the worst possible twists for a musician: he started to lose his hearing.

[2]不定式的被动式作宾语,表示被动
The loss of his hearing deeply depressed Beethoven. He was so upset that, at first, he wanted to keep it a secret. In a letter to his brothers, he wrote, “...how could I possibly admit a weakness in the one sense which should be more perfect in me than in others[3], a sense which I once possessed in the greatest perfection...” Even in his darkest moments, however, Beethoven never abandoned hope. Despite his hearing loss, he was determined to find a way to continue living a life full of music. He used a variety of hearing aids to try to increase the amount of sound he could take in.
When composing music at the piano, he would put one end of a pencil in his mouth and place the other end against the instrument so that he could feel the notes. Although Beethoven was able to continue composing music, it became increasingly difficult for him to perform in public. When Beethoven presented Symphony No. 9 in Vienna in 1824,it was his first time on stage in over ten years.
[3]which引导定语从句,修饰sense
Since that day, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 has become one of the most famous and treasured pieces in the history of classical music. The first movement starts quietly, but all of a sudden the whole orchestra breaks into an energetic theme. You can soon feel the determination—a quality Beethoven understood well because of his hearing difficulties—coursing through the music. The next two movements are full of desperate lows and uplifting highs which perhaps reflect both his suffering and his strong will to fight it[4].
The music moves through technically difficult sections with ease , showing his genius as a composer[5]. Finally, in the fourth movement, he connects all of the different variations into a joyful chorus .

贝多芬:非凡的一生
1824年5月7日,一群音乐爱好者涌入维也纳的一座剧院,聆听大作曲家路德维希·凡·贝多芬《第九交响曲》的首演。听众很快意识到他们所听绝非凡品,演出结束的那一刻,全场爆发出热情的欢呼。当时贝多芬已近全聋,直到一位领唱扶他转过身来,面向观众,他才发觉反响之热烈。他看见眼前的人山人海全部起立,有的鼓掌,有的挥舞帽子和手帕,表达着对这部杰作的赞赏。
贝多芬非凡的一生留下了极为丰厚的作品,《第九交响曲》是他最后一部大型作品。贝多芬幼年即展露才华,在父亲管教下夜以继日地学习音乐。没过多久,他的钢琴演奏已受人赏识。十多岁的时候,他已经是有名的杰出少年音乐家了。不少音乐领域的重要人物,包括才华卓绝的音乐家莫扎特,都纷纷对他不可限量的前程给出预言。然而,厄运突至,不到三十岁,贝多芬就开始经受对音乐家来说至为残酷的挫折:他的听觉开始衰退了。
听觉下降令贝多芬深受打击。他痛苦不堪,起初只想尽量隐瞒。他在给弟弟的信中他写道:“……这样一种在我身上本应比别人更加完美的感官,这样一种我曾拥有绝顶禀赋的感官,如今怎能让我承认它有了缺陷……”然而,即使在那些最晦暗的时刻,贝多芬都不曾放弃希望。虽然听不清了,但他决心想办法让生活继续充满音乐。他尝试各种各样的助听设备,让自己听到更多的声音。在钢琴上作曲时,他将铅笔的一端含在嘴里,另一端顶住钢琴,这样就能感受到音符。作曲还可以继续,但公开演出对于他而言越来越艰难了。1824年在维也纳指挥这场《第九交响曲》,是他十多年来第一次登台。
从此,贝多芬《第九交响曲》成为古典音乐史上最著名和最受珍视的作品之一。交响曲第一章先是在平静中开始,随后,乐队全体猛然奏出一个强烈的主题。你顿时会感到贯穿整部作品的那种刚毅——那种深受听障之苦的贝多芬所熟知的品质。接下来的两个乐章,充满了绝望的低声部和激越的高声部,或许分别反映了作曲家的痛苦和与之抗争的坚强意志。即使技术难度很高的段落,音乐也都从容流过,展现了他作为作曲家的才华。最后,在第四乐章中,他将一系列形态各异的变奏整合为一阕欢乐的合唱。
《第九交响曲》是贝多芬最后一部伟大的作品,也是他的人生绝唱——距这场维也纳音乐会举办未满三年,他就去世了,终年五十六岁。他惊人的艺术成就,以及在至暗岁月里都不曾动摇的顽强毅力,使他被公认为有史以来最卓越的音乐家之一。

1)(教材原句)By the time he was a teenager, he had already enjoyed a reputation as a wonderful young musician.十多岁的时候,他已经是有名的杰出少年音乐家了。
[句式分析] 本句中by the time作连词引导时间状语从句
by the time用作连词引导时间状语从句的具体用法如下:
(1)by the time+一般过去时。主句通常用过去完成时(强调主句谓语动词所表示的动作在从句谓语动词所表示的动作发生之前已经完成),有时也可用一般过去时(主句的谓语动词为状态动词或非延续性动词的否定形式)。
By the time I got home,my mother had already finished cooking dinner.我到家的时候,妈妈已经把晚饭做好了。
By the time she was 7 years old,she still couldn't speak.
她七岁的时候还不会说话。
(2)by the time+一般现在时。主句通常用将来完成时(强调主句谓语动词所表示的动作在从句谓语动词所表示的动作发生之前将已经完成),有时也可用一般将来时(状态动词)和一般现在时(祈使句)。
By the time you get to the airport,the plane will have taken off.
你到机场的时候,飞机将已经起飞。
Finish your homework by the time I get home.
我到家的时候,你要完成家庭作业。
(3)如果主句不强调动作已经完成,只是说明某个时候的状况(主句中谓语是be动词等表示状态的动词或是know,find,believe等表示认知的持续性动词),主句往往根据实际需要选用适当的时态,不用完成时态。此时by the time相当于when。
By the time the plane landed,so many people were waiting excitedly.当飞机降落时,很多人都在激动地等待着。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
A
At just 40 years old, hip-hop star Kasseem Dean, more popularly known as Swizz Beatz,has amassed (积累) a track record, lifestyle and nearly $ 70 million net worth that would inspire most of us to retire early. So why does Dean continue to both work extremely hard and try projects that come with the risk of rejection
During our interview for Uncommon Drive, a video series for USA & Main that seeks to find out the motivations and magic of world-class business people, Dean provided a memorable answer: “You only have so much time—once it's gone you don't get it back. Don't focus on money; focus on building something greater than yourself. If you're not making history, you're wasting your time on Earth.”
When you look at his answer, you will learn two important lessons. The first is in “making history”. Doing so requires awareness. You must fully understand what has and has not been achieved in the market you've entered. Dean makes every effort with the goal of creating something important that has not been done before and will be remembered for its impact beyond his years.
The second part of his statement is just as powerful. In this interview, he never once said he is “trying” to make history. Instead, he has told himself that no matter what difficulty there is, it's just going to happen. “I'm going to make history.” Dean said.
After talking to Dean for nearly 45 minutes, it was clear to me that he has removed all ego (自我) from a statement that might otherwise be misread as false pride. I believe it's a brilliant hack—rather than focus on all the reasons why a project can't be realized, he has convinced himself of the possibility.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章通过嘻哈明星Kasseem Dean虽成名却仍然继续努力的例子,论述了他这样做的原因。
1.What is the function of the first paragraph?( )
A.To lead to the main topic.
B.To describe a star's success.
C.To express admiration for a star.
D.To explain the meaning of success.

A.His desire to be famous.
B.His wish to be wealthy.
C.His adventurous spirit and imagination.
D.His life goal to leave his mark on history.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第二段后半段和第三段后半段可知,Dean认为要把注意力放在比自己更伟大的事情上,如果不创造历史就是浪费时间。Dean竭尽所能,目标是创造出一些以前从未有人做过的重要的东西。
3.What can we learn about Dean in the interview?( )
A.He takes a pride in his work.
B.He can predict the possibility.
C.He always believes in himself.
D.He gets prepared for his career.

4.What's the title of the text?( )
A.How Does Kasseem Dean Face Rejection
B.What Makes Kasseem Dean Work Hard
C.How Does Kasseem Dean Make History
D.Why Doesn't Kasseem Dean Want to Retire
答案:B
解析:主旨大意题。文章开头通过嘻哈明星Kasseem Dean虽成名却仍然继续努力的例子,提出问题“So why does Dean continue to both work extremely hard and try projects that come with the risk of rejection?”下文通过Dean对此问题观点进行了阐述,所以本文主要内容是什么让Dean努力工作。

John Otway
John Otway has been playing music and making records in the UK for more than 40 years. Over the years he has released more than ten albums. He has played hundreds of concerts. He has written two autobiographies. He has worked with some of the country's best musicians and he has even made a film about his life. But despite all of this, most people have never heard of him.
Otway released his first record in 1972, but it was the Punk Movement a few years later that really gave him his big chance. Otway wasn't the greatest musician but his songs were always fun, and his performances on stage were always entertaining—there was a good chance he would fall off the stage at least once in each show. The punks liked him, and in 1977 he had a small hit when his single Really Free made it to No. 27 in the UK top 40 charts. Otway really enjoyed his success but unfortunately, no more came. Not one of his records over the next 30 years was a hit.
Although he never had much commercial success, Otway had a lot of very loyal fans. When someone asked him what he would like for his 50th birthday, his reply was: “A second hit.” His fans went out and bought as many copies of the new single Bunsen Burner as they could. And in October 2002, Otway finally saw his wish come true. In a chart that featured international superstars like Pink, Will Young and Oasis, Bunsen Burner made it to No. 9. Many high street shops refused to sell the record, saying that Otway was too old and unattractive for the teenage market. Otway didn't care. He celebrated his success with an appearance on TV's biggest music show Top of the Pops.
These days John Otway continues to play his music around the country, and there are always plenty of people who are happy to go and watch him perform. He's a great example for anyone who loves making music. You don't have to be young, good-looking (or even very talented) to enjoy a long career in the music business.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国音乐家John Otway虽然在英国演奏音乐和制作唱片超过40年,但是毫无名气。文章说明了John Otway从事音乐事业以来的事迹,虽然John Otway没有名气但是他忠于自己喜爱的事业没有放弃。
5.From Paragraph 1, we know that ________.( )
A.John Otway has released hundreds of albums
B.John Otway never worked with best musicians
C.John Otway has written hundreds of autobiographies
D.John Otway is not well-known in the UK as a musician
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中“But despite all of this,most people have never heard of him.”可知尽管如此,大多数人从未听说过他。由此可知,John Otway在英国作为音乐家并不出名。故选D。
6.John Otway saw his wish come true when he released ____________.( )
A.Really Free B.Bunsen Burner
C.Top of the Pops D.his first record
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中“His fans went out and bought as many copies of the new single Bunsen Burner as they could. And in October 2002,Otway finally saw his wish come true.”可知,当John Otway发布Bunsen Burner专辑后,他的愿望实现了。
7.Why were some street shops unwilling to sell his single Bunsen Burner?( )
A.They thought it was terrible.
B.It wasn't a very big hit.
C.John Otway didn't want them to have it.
D. They thought teenagers would not like to buy it.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many high street shops refused to sell the record,saying that Otway was too old and unattractive for the teenage market.”可知,一些街头商店不愿意卖他的Bunsen Burner专辑,因为他们认为青少年不会愿意买。
8.What can we learn from the passage?( )
A.Musicians have to be young and attractive.
B.Success isn't important in our life.
C.We should be determined to do what we love.
D.Musicians do much better as they get older.

C
One night, Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti. Inti was meowing wildly outside Pilar's bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door. When Pilar opened her eyes, she saw that her bedroom was filled with smoke. As she escaped from her house with Inti in her arms, she saw that a fire was burning in her kitchen. Pilar could easily have lost her life, but Inti would not let that happen. Even though Inti could have escaped from the house through a cat door, he wouldn't leave Pilar.
As amazing as this story is, it is not as uncommon as you may think. Take the example of Charlotte Lee and her horse, Thunder. One summer night, the whole family was asleep with the windows open. It was normally very quiet where they lived. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. Charlotte woke up from her sweet dream, and the noise continued. Then she heard a horse running fast towards the house. The next thing she saw was Thunder standing outside her window, neighing and shaking his head. She knew something was wrong. Charlotte quickly got everyone out of the house before the earthquake hit. Thunder had saved her life.
There are also stories of wild animals coming to the rescue of humans. One animal known to be a friend of humans is the dolphin. Once, Todd Endris was surfing with his friends when he was attacked by a 13-foot (4-meter) shark. In the middle of the attack, a group of dolphins came to his rescue by forming a protective ring around Endris until he could get to shore safely. Without the help of the dolphins, there was little chance that Todd could have escaped.
No one is sure why animals have so often come to our rescue. However, it is clear that humans and animals enjoy a close relationship. It is important that we care for them as much as we can.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是不同的动物救人的故事。这告诉我们:动物和人类的关系很密切,我们应该尽可能多地照顾它们。
9.Why did Inti throw himself against the door?( )
A.He was trying to wake up his owner.
B.He wanted to get out of the room.
C.He felt bored and was playing by himself.
D.He couldn't find the way out because of smoke.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“One night,Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti.Inti was meowing wildly outside Pilar's bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door.”和“a fire was burning in her kitchen”可知,Inti用自己的身体撞门是为了叫醒自己的主人,因为厨房着火了。
10.What did Charlotte do before the earthquake?( )
A.She closed the windows.
B.She was sleeping deeply.
C.She ran to warn her neighbors.
D.She got her horse out of the stable.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“One summer night,the whole family was asleep with the windows open.”可知,地震前Charlotte在熟睡。
11.What do we know about Inti and Thunder?( )
A.They were shy and quiet.
B.They used to make noise at night.
C.They were brave and smart.
D.They saved their owners several times.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段第一、二句“One night, Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti...throwing himself against the closed bedroom door.”和第二段中的“Then she heard a horse running fast towards the house...Thunder had saved her life.”可知,Inti和Thunder都很勇敢和聪明,它们通过撞门和嘶叫唤醒了处于危险中的主人。
12.Which of the following is probably Todd's feeling towards the dolphins?( )
A.Doubtful. B.Grateful.
C.Frightened. D.Bored.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Without the help of the dolphins, there was little chance that Todd could have escaped.”可知,Todd很可能会对海豚产生感激之情。

[教材原文]
Beethoven: a remarkable① life
On 7 May 1824, a crowd of② music lovers streamed③ into a theatre in Vienna to hear the first ever④ performance of the great Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No.9.The crowd immediately recognized that they were listening to something truly special, and they broke into enthusiastic⑤ cheers at the end of the symphony. Beethoven, who was almost completely deaf at this point⑥ in his life, was unaware⑦ of the audience's response until one of the singers turned him around to face the crowd. Before him, he saw a sea of people all standing, clapping, and waving their hats and handkerchiefs⑧ to express their appreciation⑨ of his masterwork.
Symphony No. 9 was Beethoven's last major piece of music in a vast⑩ body of works written throughout his remarkable life[1]. As a gifted child, Beethoven was pushed by his father to study music day and night. Not long after, he began to be appreciated for his piano performances[2]. By the time he was a teenager, he had already enjoyed a reputation as a wonderful young musician. Many important figures in the music world, including the brilliant musician Mozart, started making predictions about Beethoven's extraordinary future. However, life took a sharp turn. In his late twenties, Beethoven suffered one of the worst possible twists for a musician: he started to lose his hearing.

The loss of his hearing deeply depressed Beethoven. He was so upset that, at first, he wanted to keep it a secret. In a letter to his brothers, he wrote, “...how could I possibly admit a weakness in the one sense which should be more perfect in me than in others[3], a sense which I once possessed in the greatest perfection...” Even in his darkest moments, however, Beethoven never abandoned hope. Despite his hearing loss, he was determined to find a way to continue living a life full of music. He used a variety of hearing aids to try to increase the amount of sound he could take in. When composing music at the piano, he would put one end of a pencil in his mouth and place the other end against the instrument so that he could feel the notes. Although Beethoven was able to continue composing music, it became increasingly difficult for him to perform in public. When Beethoven presented Symphony No. 9 in Vienna in 1824,it was his first time on stage in over ten years.

Since that day, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 has become one of the most famous and treasured pieces in the history of classical music. The first movement starts quietly, but all of a sudden the whole orchestra breaks into an energetic theme. You can soon feel the determination—a quality Beethoven understood well because of his hearing difficulties—coursing through the music. The next two movements are full of desperate lows and uplifting highs which perhaps reflect both his suffering and his strong will to fight it[4]. The music moves through technically difficult sections with ease , showing his genius as a composer[5]. Finally, in the fourth movement, he connects all of the different variations into a joyful chorus .

贝多芬:非凡的一生
1824年5月7日,一群音乐爱好者涌入维也纳的一座剧院,聆听大作曲家路德维希·凡·贝多芬《第九交响曲》的首演。听众很快意识到他们所听绝非凡品,演出结束的那一刻,全场爆发出热情的欢呼。当时贝多芬已近全聋,直到一位领唱扶他转过身来,面向观众,他才发觉反响之热烈。他看见眼前的人山人海全部起立,有的鼓掌,有的挥舞帽子和手帕,表达着对这部杰作的赞赏。
贝多芬非凡的一生留下了极为丰厚的作品,《第九交响曲》是他最后一部大型作品。贝多芬幼年即展露才华,在父亲管教下夜以继日地学习音乐。没过多久,他的钢琴演奏已受人赏识。十多岁的时候,他已经是有名的杰出少年音乐家了。不少音乐领域的重要人物,包括才华卓绝的音乐家莫扎特,都纷纷对他不可限量的前程给出预言。然而,厄运突至,不到三十岁,贝多芬就开始经受对音乐家来说至为残酷的挫折:他的听觉开始衰退了。
听觉下降令贝多芬深受打击。他痛苦不堪,起初只想尽量隐瞒。他在给弟弟的信中他写道:“……这样一种在我身上本应比别人更加完美的感官,这样一种我曾拥有绝顶禀赋的感官,如今怎能让我承认它有了缺陷……”然而,即使在那些最晦暗的时刻,贝多芬都不曾放弃希望。虽然听不清了,但他决心想办法让生活继续充满音乐。他尝试各种各样的助听设备,让自己听到更多的声音。在钢琴上作曲时,他将铅笔的一端含在嘴里,另一端顶住钢琴,这样就能感受到音符。作曲还可以继续,但公开演出对于他而言越来越艰难了。1824年在维也纳指挥这场《第九交响曲》,是他十多年来第一次登台。
从此,贝多芬《第九交响曲》成为古典音乐史上最著名和最受珍视的作品之一。交响曲第一章先是在平静中开始,随后,乐队全体猛然奏出一个强烈的主题。你顿时会感到贯穿整部作品的那种刚毅——那种深受听障之苦的贝多芬所熟知的品质。接下来的两个乐章,充满了绝望的低声部和激越的高声部,或许分别反映了作曲家的痛苦和与之抗争的坚强意志。即使技术难度很高的段落,音乐也都从容流过,展现了他作为作曲家的才华。最后,在第四乐章中,他将一系列形态各异的变奏整合为一阕欢乐的合唱。
《第九交响曲》是贝多芬最后一部伟大的作品,也是他的人生绝唱——距这场维也纳音乐会举办未满三年,他就去世了,终年五十六岁。他惊人的艺术成就,以及在至暗岁月里都不曾动摇的顽强毅力,使他被公认为有史以来最卓越的音乐家之一。

1)(教材原句)By the time he was a teenager, he had already enjoyed a reputation as a wonderful young musician.十多岁的时候,他已经是有名的杰出少年音乐家了。)
[句式分析] 本句中by the time作连词引导时间状语从句
by the time用作连词引导时间状语从句的具体用法如下:
(1)by the time+一般过去时。主句通常用过去完成时(强调主句谓语动词所表示的动作在从句谓语动词所表示的动作发生之前已经完成),有时也可用一般过去时(主句的谓语动词为状态动词或非延续性动词的否定形式)。
By the time I got home,my mother had already finished cooking dinner.我到家的时候,妈妈已经把晚饭做好了。
By the time she was 7 years old,she still couldn't speak.
她七岁的时候还不会说话。
(2)by the time+一般现在时。主句通常用将来完成时(强调主句谓语动词所表示的动作在从句谓语动词所表示的动作发生之前将已经完成),有时也可用一般将来时(状态动词)和一般现在时(祈使句)。
By the time you get to the airport,the plane will have taken off.
你到机场的时候,飞机将已经起飞。
Finish your homework by the time I get home.
我到家的时候,你要完成家庭作业。
(3)如果主句不强调动作已经完成,只是说明某个时候的状况(主句中谓语是be动词等表示状态的动词或是know,find,believe等表示认知的持续性动词),主句往往根据实际需要选用适当的时态,不用完成时态。此时by the time相当于when。
By the time the plane landed,so many people were waiting excitedly.当飞机降落时,很多人都在激动地等待着。
联想拓展
by the end of+过去的时间,句子也常用过去完成时;
by the end of+将来的时间,句子也常用将来完成时。
