Step 3 剖析——长句难句
1．Last night，I watched a performance of Butterfly Lovers，a beautiful violin concerto composed by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang.(P16，Para.1)
[结构分析] 此句是简单句。句中a beautiful violin concerto...作Butterfly Lovers的同位语；composed by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰a beautiful violin concerto。
[汉语翻译] 昨晚，我观看了一场《梁祝》的演出，这是由何占豪、陈钢创作的一部动听的小提琴协奏曲。
2．Then the music gets dramatic with heavier notes and that is when the lovers are separated because Zhu’s father forces her to marry another man.(P16，Para.2)
[结构分析] 此句是复合句。句中and连接的第二个分句中when引导表语从句；because引导原因状语从句。
[汉语翻译] 接下来，曲调突然变得沉重，此时这对情侣被拆散，因为祝英台的父亲逼她另嫁他人。
3．Finally，during the most exciting part，the music takes a softer turn and ends on a bittersweet note，telling us how the couple transform into butterflies and fly away to be together forever.(P16，Para.2)
[结构分析] 此句是复合句。句中telling us...为现在分词短语作伴随状语，其中包含how引导的宾语从句。
[汉语翻译] 最后，在最激昂的部分，乐曲转而柔缓，以凄美的曲调收尾，它告诉我们，这对情侣化蝶而去，永世不再分离。
4．Life here in Nashville is as interesting as I thought it would be.(P17，Para.1)
[结构分析] 此句是复合句。句中as...as...引导比较状语从句，意为“和……一样……”。
[汉语翻译] 在纳什维尔的生活和我之前料想得一样有趣。
5．It turns out that country music became popular right here in the south of America in the 1940s and then spread across the nation.(P17，Para.2)
[结构分析] 此句是复合句。it为形式主语，that引导的从句作真正的主语。
[汉语翻译] 原来，乡村音乐于20世纪40年代在美国南部流行起来，随后传遍整个美国。
6．Obviously I don’t know what it’s truly like to grow up in rural America，but the masters of country music，like John Denver，can make you feel like you’re there.(P17，Para.3)
[结构分析] 此句是并列复合句。句中but连接两个并列的分句，第一个分句中what引导宾语从句；第二个分句中feel之后的like引导表语从句。
[汉语翻译] 我显然不知道在美国乡村长大究竟是什么样子，但是乡村音乐的大师们，比如约翰·丹佛，能让你觉得身临其境。
The first email is written by Alice to Lucy，which introduces Butterfly Lovers，a beautiful violin concerto 1.composed(compose) by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang.In the classic story，the two lovers，Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai,2.are_torn(tear) apart by their families.What impresses us most is that when Liang falls sick and dies，Zhu jumps into his grave without hesitation.3.Finally(final)，the couple transform 4.into butterflies and fly away to be together forever.Butterfly Lovers combines Chinese and Western musical elements perfectly,5.showing(show) that music is indeed a universal language.
The second email is written by Harry to Stephen.It’s about country music，which became popular in the south of America in 6.the 1940s and then spread across the nation.7.It is because it originated from blues and folk music that many similar instruments，such as the guitar，are used.Most of the songs are about 8.hardship(hard) and heartbreak，but also about hope.Country music shows the 9.peaceful(peace) green fields and simple life of the countryside,10.whose simple tunes and beautiful natural images can make you feel like you’re there.

A
“Music will forever be humanity’s most effective and consistent source of inspiration and motivation，and，we have learned，music turns out to be our most solid common ground for establishing communication between teachers and students which is where education begins.”
—Stevie Van Zandt
The legendary guitarist Stevie Van Zandt has called on England’s schools to use music to attract young people.He founded TeachRock，an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum(课程)．
Van Zandt launched TeachRock as a way of keeping arts in the DNA of the public education system of the US after the introduction of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001，with its stress on annual testing，academic progress and report cards.Now it is being adopted in schools in England in the Beckmead，which provides education for children and young people with complex needs.Van Zandt was visiting to see his programme in action.
Many of the students at Beckmead are among the most disadvantaged in the country.Some have already been in youth offender institutions(少管所)．While providing them with excellent education and care，it is also critical to attract them to attend.TeachRock has proved hugely successful.Additionally，research has shown that music plays a key role in supporting brain development，language，motor skills，social cooperation skills and emotional intelligence.
Van Zandt watched interestedly as 17-year-old Kerniel performed a song he had written，and applauded enthusiastically after a performance by a group of students playing guitars given by a charity.Some of them had not held a guitar until a few weeks ago.“It’s amazing！” said Van Zandt.“A lot of kids are just not comfortable with the accuracy of basic science or maths.They don’t see the reason for it.They don’t understand it.” Van Zandt believes in “meeting children on their own turf”，rather than conducting a one-size-fits-all curriculum.Kids come to school with gifts intact(完好的)：imagination，curiosity，instinct，taste，opinions—and the traditional education is to have them leave those things outside the classroom.
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了音乐项目TeachRock是如何帮助英国学校吸引学生并支持他们全面发展的。
1．What can we learn about TeachRock
A．It is an online platform for self-learning.
B．It is only targeted at problem children.
C．It uses music to inspire children to learn.
D．It keeps music in slower students’ DNA.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He founded TeachRock，an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum(课程)．”可知，TeachRock是一个用音乐来激励孩子们学习的在线项目。故选C。
2．What might Van Zandt agree with according to the text
A．Music should have a place in education.
B．Music keeps children from breaking the law.
C．Music outweighs science in school curriculum.
D．All children can learn to play the guitar quickly.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，Van Zandt认为音乐对人类及教育有重要意义。再由第三段中“Van Zandt launched TeachRock as a way of keeping arts in the DNA of the public education system of the US...”可知，Van Zandt推出TeachRock是为了保持艺术在美国公共教育系统中的地位。由此可推知，Van Zandt可能同意“音乐在教育中应该有一席之地”。故选A。
3．What does the underlined part “meeting children on their own turf” in the last paragraph mean
A．All students should be taught in the same way.
B．Education should be tailored to students’ needs.

答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中画线部分后的“rather than conducting a one-size-fits-all curriculum”可知，Van Zandt认为学校不应该实行一刀切的课程，可推知画线部分的意思与“一刀切课程”相反，应为“教育应该满足学生自己的需求”。故选B。
4．Which newspaper column may the text appear in
A．Education. B．Culture.
C．Science. D．Music.
答案 A
解析 文章出处题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段内容可知，文章主要讲述了Stevie Van Zandt通过TeachRock项目利用音乐来帮助学生学习课程，并强调了音乐在教育中的重要性。由此可推知，这篇文章可能会出现在报纸的“教育”专栏。故选A。
B(此篇精读)
When the famous woman singer in Britain released her 2011 single Someone Like You，this bittersweet song was popular with millions worldwide.More than a decade later，it remains one of her most popular songs.Her artistry，as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats，has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.
Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain，according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research.And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.
“It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache，but music can help reduce your pain，” said Patrick Stroman，a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston，Ontario.He didn’t join in the study.“Unlike other medications，” he noted，“there is no side effect or risk in listening to music(just keep the volume at a reasonable level)．”
The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs.The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants.All the while，the researchers stuck a hot object—similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin—to their left inner forearms.When rating their experiences，people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.
With millions of songs available，one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another.After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain，the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.
“It’s a very cool result，” said lead study author Darius Valevicius，a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal.“I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现——某些类型的音乐能够帮助你减轻痛苦。
5．Why does the author mention the famous singer in the first paragraph
A．To reach a conclusion.
B．To lead in the topic.
C．To offer a suggestion.
D．To provide the background.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Her artistry...has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.”可推断，作者在第一段提到著名的歌手是为了通过她的艺术技巧可以减轻痛苦这一点来引出文章主题：关于音乐的减轻痛苦的作用的研究。故选B。
6．What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music
A．Doubtful. B．Positive.
C．Unclear. D．Unconcerned.
答案 B
解析 观点态度题。根据第三段“‘It doesn’t take the place of medicine...but music can help reduce your pain，’．..he noted，‘there is no side effect or risk in listening to music(just keep the volume at a reasonable level)．’”可知，Stroman对于听音乐的减轻痛苦的作用持肯定的态度。故选B。
7．What did the participants do in the new study
A．They reported their feelings of pain.
B．They interviewed many musicians.
C．They made various kinds of teacups.
D．They picked out the music they don’t like.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When rating their experiences，people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.”可知，研究的参与者在实验中报告他们的痛苦的感受。故选A。
8．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music
B．How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly
C．The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music
D．Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段“Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain...And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.”可知，本文主要介绍了某些类型的音乐能够帮助人们减轻痛苦。故选D。
[词汇积累] 1．bittersweet(合)＝bitter＋sweet adj.又苦又甜的；苦乐参半的 2．heartbreak(合)＝heart＋break n．心碎；极度伤心 heartbroken adj.极为悲伤的，心碎的 3．detail 熟义：n.细节；枝节；详情 生义(文义)：v.详述 4．note(转)n.→vt.指出(It’s noted that...有人指出……) 5．rate n．速度，进度；比率v.评估，评价；(文义)划分等级 6．available adj.可用的，可获得的；有空的 [句式分析] Her artistry，as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats，has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss. 分析：此句为复合句。as well as 在本句中表示“和”，连接Her artistry和that of...，句子的谓语动词的人称和数与前面的主语保持一致；that是替代词，代替前文的artistry；who引导定语从句，修饰先行词others。 翻译：她的艺术技巧，以及其他许多已经掌握了用缓慢而感人的节奏让听众感动的艺术的人的艺术技巧，有一种应对心碎和失去的情感痛苦的方法。
Ⅳ.七选五阅读(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Have you ever tried reading music If so，you probably noticed a lot of new symbols and words.Maybe you saw the word presto at the beginning.Perhaps you read piano and crescendo throughout the song. 1 Or maybe you didn’t—if you knew how to read Italian!
Italian is sometimes called the language that sings. 2 However，the link between Italian and music is deeper than that.Today，musical vocabulary is full of Italian words.
However，it wasn’t always so.Thousands of years ago，people didn’t write music.Instead，they passed songs down orally and taught each other to play them on instruments. 3 Later，people in Spain and Italy began putting music to paper for use in choirs.
Around 1000 CE，an Italian man named Guido d’Arezzo came up with the four-lined staff(四线谱)，which eventually led to the development of the five-lined staff still used in modern music today.Over the next few centuries，many of the people writing music were Italian.Of course，people in other parts of the world were writing music，too.In an effort to standardize written music，many of them used Italian terms. 4 For example，Beethoven sometimes used German words instead of Italian.Claude Debussy used French in “Clair de Lune”．
5 You might already be familiar with some terms! One example is tempo—the speed of a piece of music.Markings in written music tell the player when the music should be adagio(slow)，or allegro(fast)．The dynamics，or volume，of a piece of music might begin with piano(soft)，then crescendo(get louder) and finally fortissimo(very loud)．
A．Many think it sounds musical.
B．Others wrote music in their own languages.
C．Still，Italian is the primary language used in music.
D．You probably needed to ask your teacher what these words meant.
E．Learning to read music is an important part of practicing those skills.
F．People who write music even have ways to communicate techniques.
G．Ancient people in Babylonia，Greece，and Rome were some of the earliest to write music.
1．答案 D
解析 根据空前后文可知，本空应该与上文所提到的陌生词汇的含义有关，故D项“你或许需要去问你的老师这些词是什么意思”符合语境。下文的“Or maybe you didn’t”指D项中的“needed to ask your teacher what these words meant”。故选D。
2．答案 A
解析 根据空前后文可知，本空应该与意大利语和音乐之间浅层的关系有关，故A项“许多人认为意大利语听起来像音乐”符合语境。A项中的it 指代上文中的Italian，且musical与下文中的music是同根词复现。故选A。
3．答案 G
解析 根据空前后文可知，本空应该与什么人开始写乐谱有关，且与下文内容之间是顺承关系，故G项“古巴比伦尼亚、古希腊和古罗马的人是最早写乐谱的人”符合语境。G项中的the earliest 呼应下文中的Later，且write music呼应下文中的putting music to paper。故选G。
4．答案 B
解析 根据空前后文可知，除了意大利语，也有人用其他语言写乐谱，故B项“其他人用自己的语言写音乐”符合语境，与下文的例子相呼应。故选B。
5．答案 C
解析 根据下文中的“You might already be familiar with some terms！”和列举的一些意大利语的音乐术语可知，本段具体介绍一些意大利语的音乐术语的含义，且本空应为本段主旨句，故C项符合语境，并呼应首段内容。故选C。
Ⅴ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
In the last few months，several music pieces themed around Journey to the West 1.________ (go) viral on social media platforms，both in China and abroad.
The theme song from the 1986 TV series Journey to the West，“Yungong Xunyin”，has been rearranged,2. not only lights the passion among young Chinese audiences but also appeals 3. a large number of international listeners.

(present) through digital means is also making its mark on the 5._________ (globe) stage.The reason why these rearranged traditional Chinese music pieces have attracted such worldwide attention 6. (be) mainly that they create a rising “digital ambiance(氛围)”．Supporting this “digital ambiance” is the relevant digital technology used 7._________ (create)“digital scenes”．These “digital scenes” not only realize commercial value but also 8.____________(apparent) provide the technical foundation for “digital ambiance”．
As a “digital scene” with millions of daily active interactions，games are playing 9._________ crucial role in promoting the digitization of Chinese culture，not only preserving traditional culture in a “living” state but also helping it break through worldwide.This is a true 10. (reflect) of modern Chinese civilization.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了近期以《西游记》为主题的几首音乐作品在国内外社交媒体平台上走红的现象，并探讨了中国传统音乐通过数字化手段在全球范围内获得关注的原因。
1．答案 have gone
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语In the last few months可以判断应该用现在完成时，主语是复数名词several music pieces，助动词用have。故填have gone。
2．答案 which
解析 考查定语从句。空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，并且在从句中作主语，指代前面整个句子的内容。故填which。
3．答案 to
解析 考查介词。appeal to“吸引”为固定短语，符合句意。故填to。
4．答案 presented
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词，所给词“present”作定语修饰名词music，二者构成被动关系，应用present的过去分词表被动。故填presented。
5．答案 global
解析 考查形容词。修饰名词stage应用形容词作定语。故填global。
6．答案 is
解析 考查时态与主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，句子主语是单数名词The reason，本空是主句谓语，且根据表语从句的谓语动词create判断主句应该用一般现在时。故填is。
7．答案 to create
解析 考查非谓语动词。空前used是过去分词作定语，而此处应用create的不定式形式表目的。故填to create。
8．答案 apparently
解析 考查副词。修饰动词provide，应用副词作状语。故填apparently。
9．答案 a
解析 考查冠词。分析句意可知，本空应填入不定冠词构成短语play a role in，意为“在……中起作用”，且空后crucial发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
10．答案 reflection
解析 考查名词。根据前面的“a true”判断本空应填入名词单数。故填reflection。(共67张PPT)

“Music will forever be humanity’s most effective and consistent source of inspiration and motivation，and，we have learned，music turns out to be our most solid common ground for establishing communication between teachers and students which is where education begins.”
—Stevie Van Zandt
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了音乐项目TeachRock是如何帮助英国学校吸引学生并支持他们全面发展的。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
The legendary guitarist Stevie Van Zandt has called on England’s schools to use music to attract young people.He founded TeachRock，an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum(课程).
Van Zandt launched TeachRock as a way of keeping arts in the DNA of the public education system of the US after the introduction of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001，with its stress on annual testing，academic progress and report cards.Now it is being adopted in schools in England in the Beckmead，which provides education for children and young people with complex needs.Van Zandt was visiting to see his programme in action.
Many of the students at Beckmead are among the most disadvantaged in the country.Some have already been in youth offender institutions(少管所).While providing them with excellent education and care，it is also critical to attract them to attend.TeachRock has proved hugely successful.Additionally，research has shown that music plays a key role in supporting brain development，language，motor skills，social cooperation skills and emotional intelligence.
Van Zandt watched interestedly as 17-year-old Kerniel performed a song he had written，and applauded enthusiastically after a performance by a group of students playing guitars given by a charity.Some of them had not held a guitar until a few weeks ago.“It’s amazing！” said Van Zandt.“A lot of kids are just not comfortable with the accuracy of basic science or maths.They don’t see the reason for it.They don’t understand it.” Van Zandt believes in “meeting children on their own turf”，rather than conducting a one-size-fits-all curriculum.Kids come to school with gifts intact(完好的)：imagination，curiosity，instinct，taste，opinions—and the traditional education is to have them leave those things outside the classroom.
1.What can we learn about TeachRock
A.It is an online platform for self-learning.
B.It is only targeted at problem children.
C.It uses music to inspire children to learn.
D.It keeps music in slower students’ DNA.

B(此篇精读)
When the famous woman singer in Britain released her 2011 single Someone Like You，this bittersweet song was popular with millions worldwide.More than a decade later，it remains one of her most popular songs.Her artistry，as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats，has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现——某些类型的音乐能够帮助你减轻痛苦。
Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain，according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research.And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.
“It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache，but music can help reduce your pain，” said Patrick Stroman，a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston，Ontario.He didn’t join in the study.“Unlike other medications，” he noted，“there is no side effect or risk in listening to music(just keep the volume at a reasonable level).”
The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs.The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants.All the while，the researchers stuck a hot object—similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin—to their left inner forearms.When rating their experiences，people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.
With millions of songs available，one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another.After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain，the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.
“It’s a very cool result，” said lead study author Darius Valevicius，a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal.“I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.”
5.Why does the author mention the famous singer in the first paragraph
A.To reach a conclusion.
B.To lead in the topic.
C.To offer a suggestion.
D.To provide the background.
