A
(2024·江西宜春高一下期中)
The Giving Voice Chorus(合唱团) was created in 2014 by Mary Lenard，a former director of the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota-North Dakota.With co-worker Marge Ostroushko，who has taken care of a parent with Alzheimer’s disease(AD)，a brain disorder that gets worse over time，Lenard set out to create an environment where people with AD and their caregivers felt supported and comfortable.
“People with AD sometimes withdraw and often are not included in the community，” she says.“Marge and I recognized that music and singing are ways for people with AD to still be included and join in life.”
In the beginning，the chorus was made up of 30 people，including volunteers from the community who helped with small tasks during chorus practice，such as helping singers find the printed music in their binders(活页夹) if they lost their place.Since then，the Giving Voice Chorus has grown to two additional choruses，with more than 180 members overall.
“We don’t do auditions，and we don’t care what AD cases you have or the stage of your disease，” says Lenard.“As long as you enjoy the experience，anyone can be part of the group.It’s a place where everyone belongs.”
Lenard says，“When we first started out，Marge and I didn’t know if people with AD were going to move away from the place where they ought to be or get upset.” But the opposite has happened.“There’s a positive change we see in people when they’re singing songs they love.They’re smiling，and there’s joy and laughter.It’s really special.”
“People with AD might have difficulty learning a new song or coming up with words on their own，” says Dr.Caselli，AD specialist at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.“But if they hear a song they’ve known all their lives，they tend to remember the words and are able to sing along.And because speech and long-term memory aren’t usually affected until late in the disease，members of the Giving Voice Chorus are likely to stay active until the last few months of life.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由玛丽·伦纳德和玛吉·奥斯特罗什科创立的“献声合唱团”，该合唱团旨在为阿尔茨海默病患者及其护理者提供一个包容和支持的环境，让他们通过参与歌唱活动保持社交和情感的联系。

B(此篇精读)
(2024·山东济南高一上期末)
Researches show that 43,000 years ago our ancestors were making music.The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.Tears can uncontrollably well up even in the most hardened eyes when Bruce Springsteen sings The River.It’s hard not to nod your head with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll.We have evolved(进化) to feel music.
There’s plentiful evidence that humans really feel music，but are the feelings universal If humans from different cultures listen to the same songs，will they respond in the same way That’s what a team of Chinese and Finnish researchers wanted to find out.
In a recent experiment，they presented nearly 2,000 participants from the United Kingdom，the United States，and China with different songs and asked them to describe where they felt the music in their bodies.For this，the researchers gave each subject blank outlines of a human and asked them to color the regions where they felt changing activity in their bodies.
The researchers found that all the participants responded to the songs in nearly the same way.“Across both cultures，happy and danceable songs activated the arms，legs，and the head.In contrast，sad，gentle，and scary songs activated mainly the chest and head regions，” the researchers described.“The results suggest similar bodily feelings of musical emotions across distant cultures.” Furthermore，the results show that humans feel music in the same way regardless of language and familiarity.Participants from one culture were not very familiar with others’ songs.Instead，their bodies were responding to specific acoustic(听觉的) clues.
However，the team note that their experiment only analyzed two cultures，meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently，which will be the highlight of their further study.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。研究表明无论语言和熟悉程度如何，人类对音乐的感受都是一样的。
5．What do the songs mentioned in paragraph 1 feature
A．Danceable beats. B．Traditional styles.
C．Emotional impact. D．Confusing content.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。由第一段中“The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.”可知，第一段提到的歌曲具有情感冲击力。故选C。
6．What do the Chinese and Finnish researchers aim to do
A．Understand the history of music.
B．Explore people’s feeling for music.
C．Compare cultural differences in songs.
D．Study songs’ effect on physical health.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。由第二段“There’s plentiful evidence that humans really feel music，but are the feelings universal If humans from different cultures listen to the same songs，will they respond in the same way That’s what a team of Chinese and Finnish researchers wanted to find out.”可知，中国和芬兰的研究人员旨在探索人们对音乐的感受。故选B。
7．What can we learn from paragraph 4
A．All types of music activate the legs.
B．Humans respond similarly to music.
C．Familiar songs inspire more feelings.
D．People learn language through music.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。由第四段中“Furthermore，the results show that humans feel music in the same way regardless of language and familiarity.”以及本段上下文可知，人类对音乐的反应类似。故选B。
8．What will the team do in the future
A．Create new music types.
B．Observe human behavior.
C．Put the discoveries to use.
D．Expand the participant range.
答案 D

[句式分析]
1．The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.
分析：此句为复合句。that引导同位语从句，对the fact的内容进行解释说明；why引导宾语从句，在从句中充当原因状语。
翻译：音乐伴随我们这么久的事实解释了为什么它会影响我们的精神和身体。
2．However，the team note that their experiment only analyzed two cultures，meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently，which will be the highlight of their further study.
分析：此句为复合句。第一个that引导宾语从句，在从句中不充当成分；第二个that引导主语从句，it为形式主语；which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前文“it’s possible that people living in...react to music very differently”。
翻译：然而，研究小组指出，他们的实验只分析了两种文化，这意味着生活在世界遥远地区的人们对音乐的反应可能会非常不同，这将是他们进一步研究的重点。

The Giving Voice Chorus(合唱团) was created in 2014 by Mary Lenard，a former director of the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota-North Dakota.With co-worker Marge Ostroushko，who has taken care of a parent with Alzheimer’s disease(AD)，a brain disorder that gets worse over time，Lenard set out to create an environment where people with AD and their caregivers felt supported and comfortable.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由玛丽·伦纳德和玛吉·奥斯特罗什科创立的“献声合唱团”，该合唱团旨在为阿尔茨海默病患者及其护理者提供一个包容和支持的环境，让他们通过参与歌唱活动保持社交和情感的联系。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
“People with AD sometimes withdraw and often are not included in the community，” she says.“Marge and I recognized that music and singing are ways for people with AD to still be included and join in life.”
In the beginning，the chorus was made up of 30 people，including volunteers from the community who helped with small tasks during chorus practice，such as helping singers find the printed music in their binders(活页夹) if they lost their place.Since then，the Giving Voice Chorus has grown to two additional choruses，with more than 180 members overall.
“We don’t do auditions，and we don’t care what AD cases you have or the stage of your disease，” says Lenard.“As long as you enjoy the experience，anyone can be part of the group.It’s a place where everyone belongs.”
Lenard says，“When we first started out，Marge and I didn’t know if people with AD were going to move away from the place where they ought to be or get upset.” But the opposite has happened.“There’s a positive change we see in people when they’re singing songs they love.They’re smiling，and there’s joy and laughter.It’s really special.”
“People with AD might have difficulty learning a new song or coming up with words on their own，” says Dr.Caselli，AD specialist at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.“But if they hear a song they’ve known all their lives，they tend to remember the words and are able to sing along.And because speech and long-term memory aren’t usually affected until late in the disease，members of the Giving Voice Chorus are likely to stay active until the last few months of life.”
1.What’s the purpose of the Giving Voice Chorus
A.To enrich the young men’s life.
B.To raise money for the poor.
C.To ask people to tend to the old.
D.To help people with AD.
推理判断题。根据第一段中“With co-worker Marge Ostroushko，who has taken care of a parent with Alzheimer’s disease(AD)...Lenard set out to create an environment where people with AD and their caregivers felt supported and comfortable.”可知，献声合唱团旨在帮助阿尔茨海默病患者。故选D。

解析
3.How did Lenard feel when setting up the Giving Voice Chorus at first
A.Confident. B.Worried.
C.Curious. D.Unwilling.
√
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Lenard says，‘When we first started out，Marge and I didn’t know if people with AD were going to move away from the place where they ought to be or get upset.’”可知，刚开始组建献声合唱团时，伦纳德感到很担心。故选B。

(2024·山东济南高一上期末)
Researches show that 43,000 years ago our ancestors were making music.The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.Tears can uncontrollably well up even in the most hardened eyes when Bruce Springsteen sings The River.It’s hard not to nod your head with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll.We have evolved(进化) to feel music.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。研究表明无论语言和熟悉程度如何，人类对音乐的感受都是一样的。
There’s plentiful evidence that humans really feel music，but are the feelings universal If humans from different cultures listen to the same songs，will they respond in the same way That’s what a team of Chinese and Finnish researchers wanted to find out.
In a recent experiment，they presented nearly 2,000 participants from the United Kingdom，the United States，and China with different songs and asked them to describe where they felt the music in their bodies.For this，the researchers gave each subject blank outlines of a human and asked them to color the regions where they felt changing activity in their bodies.
The researchers found that all the participants responded to the songs in nearly the same way.“Across both cultures，happy and danceable songs activated the arms，legs，and the head.In contrast，sad，gentle，and scary songs activated mainly the chest and head regions，” the researchers described.“The results suggest similar bodily feelings of musical emotions across distant cultures.” Furthermore，the results show that humans feel music in the same way regardless of language and familiarity.Participants from one culture were not very familiar with others’ songs.Instead，their bodies were responding to specific acoustic(听觉的) clues.
However，the team note that their experiment only analyzed two cultures，meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently，which will be the highlight of their further study.
5.What do the songs mentioned in paragraph 1 feature
A.Danceable beats. B.Traditional styles.

细节理解题。由第二段“There’s plentiful evidence that humans really feel music，but are the feelings universal If humans from different cultures listen to the same songs，will they respond in the same way That’s what a team of Chinese and Finnish researchers wanted to find out.”可知，中国和芬兰的研究人员旨在探索人们对音乐的感受。故选B。
解析
7.What can we learn from paragraph 4
A.All types of music activate the legs.
B.Humans respond similarly to music.
C.Familiar songs inspire more feelings.

A.Create new music types.
B.Observe human behavior.

句式分析
1.The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.
分析：此句为复合句。that引导同位语从句，对the fact的内容进行解释说明；why引导宾语从句，在从句中充当原因状语。
翻译：音乐伴随我们这么久的事实解释了为什么它会影响我们的精神和身体。
2.However，the team note that their experiment only analyzed two cultures，meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently，which will be the highlight of their further study.
分析：此句为复合句。第一个that引导宾语从句，在从句中不充当成分；第二个that引导主语从句，it为形式主语；which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前文“it’s possible that people living in...react to music very differently”。
翻译：然而，研究小组指出，他们的实验只分析了两种文化，这意味着生活在世界遥远地区的人们对音乐的反应可能会非常不同，这将是他们进一步研究的重点。
