Using numbers will make the writing seem organized and convincing.

|阅|读|技|能|提|升| 把握主题句，关注过渡句
本文是一篇记叙性说明文，是以说明和叙述相结合的方式向读者介绍客观存在的人物、事物或事理的说明文。通常采用时间、空间或逻辑顺序进行叙述，运用简练明了的语言来表达观点，使读者能够清晰地了解事物的发展过程。阅读此类文章，需要把握主题句和关注过渡句。如本文第二段首句为段落主题句，点明本段要介绍埃里克·惠塔克，其后是支撑、说明主题句的细节句。第二段末尾“This led to the creation of the virtual choir”为过渡句，既承接上文对埃里克·惠塔克个人经历的介绍，又与第三段所讲触发虚拟合唱团创立的灵感相衔接。
过渡句将各段落有机衔接起来，是了解段落间关系的关键。因此，在阅读中把握主题句是理解段落大意的重要方法；同时，通过关注过渡句来了解内部各段落之间的关系，从而掌控全文。
课文写法借鉴
(一)赏用词之妙
1. Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music.
赏析：本句使用了contact一词，为熟词生义的用法，表示“熟人”，让人眼前一亮，非常贴切。本句解释了参加虚拟合唱团的原因，许多人没有亲密的朋友，也没有志趣相投的私交。
2．Whitacre's next effort was the Virtual Youth Choir for UNICEF, which was first seen on stage on 23 July 2014 in the UK.
赏析：本句中使用了名词stage, 表示“舞台”，表达了惠塔克的“虚拟青年合唱团”在英国首次登台演出。stage是个多义词，在阅读时要注意根据语境体会。
3．The virtual choir is a wonderful way for people around the world to sing with one voice and thus make the world a better place.
赏析：本句结合关键词way，借用介词和不定式，融入了大量信息，提升了句子品味，简洁而又恰当地总结了虚拟合唱团的作用和意义，它提供了一种美妙的方式，让世界各地的人们能够同声歌唱，世界因此变得更加美好。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Beijing Opera is considered to be a Chinese national treasure. Though it's called that name, it is not performed only in Beijing.
While we were in Yunnan, we watched a community performance of Beijing Opera. The leader and the teacher of this group had retired from the Yunnan Beijing Opera Troupe. The rest of the group consisted of local retired men and women.
Our guide gave us an example of how each of the characters would be played. The male characters include an old man, a middle-aged man, a young man, and a small boy. Each of these characters will wear different costumes. The old man will move around like he has no sense of balance. The middle-aged man will walk slowly with large steps around the stage as if he owns the world. And the young man will dance around.Everyone laughed when the young man put on artificial hair and danced around the stage as if he was ten years old.
Our guide even told us about the different roles of women. The main differences with the women's ages are how a woman walks and her water sleeves. For the older women, they are more dignified (高雅的) in the way they walk. For the younger women, it is more about being graceful (优雅的) with the water sleeves.
The costumes of both the men and women hang according to the rank of the characters being played and the age of the characters. It doesn't matter what age the actors are because the make-up will either make them look younger or older.
After seeing that performance, we began to fall in love with this great Chinese national treasure.

Time flies. Youth fades. Treasure each moment of your accompanied by guitar and drums, the Band for One, made up of five people, sang the lyrics soulfully during a performance in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, on November 7.
Behind the band, there was a picture of a young man named Philip Hancock shown on the screen. And he is the reason why they were all there. Hancock was a 27-year-old Australian who taught English in Chongqing. When he died in 2018 due to a disease, his parents followed his wishes and donated his organs.
The five people introduced themselves onstage. They are the ones who received Philip's organs. “Last November, the Red Cross officials told me Philip's parents mentioned during an earlier memorial service that he loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day，” said Chen Xianjun, a recipient. Chen was instantly on board to form a band in memory of Philip, and so were the other four recipients.
Since they had no music experience, they had to start from scratch. From learning the guitar to mastering the maracas and taking on the drums, they took time out of their busy lives to practice over the past year. Peter Hancock, Philip's father, said after watching the band's performance, his biggest wish is for the five to enjoy their lives more.
Organ donation is not only the best way to honor a loved one, but also a remarkable way to save the lives of others. China faces a serious shortage of organs, with about 300,000 people waiting for organ transplant surgeries each year. But the good news is, more and more people have been signing up to be organ donors, showing the spirit of selflessness that Philip and so many others have shown.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了为了表达对器官捐献者Philip Hancock的感谢以及实现他组建乐队的梦想，浙江杭州的五人组成了乐队“for One”，从头开始练习音乐，进行演出。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music. 9 At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. 10 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说). John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.
11 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. 12 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion (入侵) by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 13
A．They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.
B．Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.
C．Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s.
D．However, their songs changed the lives of generations to come.
E．Many rock bands were able to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles.
F．They appeared in the films A Hard Day's Night(1964)and Help！(1965)．
G．They performed their first concert in America at CBS television's 53rd street studio.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文中介绍了披头士乐队的成功引领了摇滚乐等一系列新的潮流趋势。
9．选C 第一段讲述摇滚音乐，根据空后的“At that time”可知，前句提到了时间，而且与rock music有关，选项中只有C项讲的是摇滚音乐，并且讲述了其发展的时间。
10．选B 空前后都是讲述披头士的出名程度，根据空前“extremely popular in England”以及后文的“they became the hottest thing”可知，此处描述了他们的影响，选项B(甚至他们的发型在那时也成了一种潮流)符合文意，且关键词Even是一个提示。
11．选A 根据空后“They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music.”可知，他们首次来美国演出，所以A项符合文意。
12．选G 根据空后“The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time.”可知，前句中应该出现concert，选项G中的关键词their first concert与后文呼应。
13．选E 根据空前内容可知，由于披头士乐队，市场上出现了很多新面孔，E项(很多摇滚乐队都是模仿披头士乐队)，符合逻辑，披头士乐队为摇滚乐开拓了市场。Section Ⅱ “Reading and Thinking”的课文习读环节

Understanding Culture Through Music
Hi Lucy，
So glad to get your email. I hope everything is fine with you. Last night, I watched a performance of Butterfly Lovers， a beautiful violin concerto composed by He Zhanhao and Chen
①
Gang. It's a piece that really deserves to be heard.
The music took me through the twists and turns of a classic story about a young couple torn apart by their families. When the two lovers, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, first meet, the music is It is followed by a fast and cheerful section which represents their three happy years of school. 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. Zhu weeps bitterly over the loss of her love. Overcome with sorrow, she jumps into his grave. 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 It is an amazing journey!
Butterfly Lovers combines Chinese and Western musical elements：it is played on Western instruments such as the violin, but more significantly, much of the music has its roots in Chinese Yue Opera.This unique combination has made me realize that music is indeed a universal language. You should definitely listen to Butterfly Lovers — I bet you'll like it!
All the best，

Beijing Opera is considered to be a Chinese national treasure. Though it's called that name, it is not performed only in Beijing.
While we were in Yunnan, we watched a community performance of Beijing Opera. The leader and the teacher of this group had retired from the Yunnan Beijing Opera Troupe. The rest of the group consisted of local retired men and women.
Our guide gave us an example of how each of the characters would be played. The male characters include an old man, a middle aged man, a young man, and a small boy. Each of these characters will wear different costumes. The old man will move around like he has no sense of balance. The middle aged man will walk slowly with large steps around the stage as if he owns the world. And the young man will dance around.Everyone laughed when the young man put on artificial hair and danced around the stage as if he was ten years old.
Our guide even told us about the different roles of women. The main differences with the women's ages are how a woman walks and her water sleeves. For the older women, they are more dignified (高雅的) in the way they walk. For the younger women, it is more about being graceful (优雅的) with the water sleeves.
The costumes of both the men and women hang according to the rank of the characters being played and the age of the characters. It doesn't matter what age the actors are because the make up will either make them look younger or older.
After seeing that performance, we began to fall in love with this great Chinese national treasure.

Time flies. Youth fades. Treasure each moment of your accompanied by guitar and drums, the Band for One, made up of five people, sang the lyrics soulfully during a performance in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, on November 7.
Behind the band, there was a picture of a young man named Philip Hancock shown on the screen. And he is the reason why they were all there. Hancock was a 27 year old Australian who taught English in Chongqing. When he died in 2018 due to a disease, his parents followed his wishes and donated his organs.
The five people introduced themselves onstage. They are the ones who received Philip's organs. “Last November, the Red Cross officials told me Philip's parents mentioned during an earlier memorial service that he loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day，” said Chen Xianjun, a recipient.
