Step 1 品教材课文
Good morning！ My name is Sarah Williams.It’s an honour to be here and to share with you the story of how music has had an impact on my life.
Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all？Two years ago， I was told I had a serious disease which was
difficult to cure.My body ached all the time and thus I thought I didn’t
have much longer to live.I was very afraid and I felt so alone and
discouraged.Then one day， I had to go through a two-hour medical
treatment.The doctor wanted me to relax， so he had me listen to some
music， and one of the songs was “Happy”.The song made me feel so
much better that from then on I began to listen to music all the time.John
A. Logan said，“Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it’s
true.Music helped me recover.
Music gave me happiness.When I listened to music， it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind.Music gave me strength and brought me relief.It was the rock I leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times.Moreover， music gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction.It
became my best friend.It spoke words of encouragement to the deepest
part of my being.
Of course， I hope none of you have to go through the same kind of
suffering that I did.At the same time， we all go through various periods
when we feel sad or alone.During those times， music can help you in the
same way that it helped me.I hope all of you will somehow begin to
treasure music and make it a part of your life.
Thank you！
Step 2 析写作手法
学语言：
1. 高级句式：
（1）第一段中使用了It’s an honour to be here and to share with
you ...表达委婉，态度谦和，语言地道。
（2）第二段巧妙地使用when引导的定语从句以及so ...that ...引
导的结果状语从句，使句式丰富多彩。
2. 逻辑顺序：第二段先用问句开头，引起读者注意，然后按时间
顺序展开。 Two years ago， Then one day， from then on使叙
述清晰有序。
3. 高级表达：运用了have an impact on， go through， a sense of
satisfaction， in the same way等词组。
4. 修辞手法：本文采用比喻修辞手法（When I listened to music， it
made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind.）及三个排比句（Music
gave me ...），层层递进，语气强烈，富有感染力，突出了音乐
对作者的极大影响。
学结构：
【参考译文】
上午好！我叫莎拉·威廉姆斯。非常荣幸来到这里与大家分享音乐
是如何影响了我的人生的。
你是否曾经历过黯淡无光、万念俱灰的一段时光？两年前，我被
告知得了一种很难治愈的严重疾病，全身一直疼痛，觉得自己活不了
多久了。我非常害怕，感到十分孤独、沮丧。后来有一天，我需要去
做两个小时的治疗。医生想让我放松，就让我听一些音乐，其中一首
歌是《快乐》。听着这首歌，我感觉好多了；从此之后，我开始一直
听音乐。约翰·A·洛根曾说过：“音乐是心灵的良药。”的确如此，音
乐助我康复。
音乐给我带来了快乐。当我听音乐的时候，音乐让我的心情放
飞，像风中的风筝。音乐给予我力量，也让我得到解脱。音乐是岩
石，让我倚靠，变得坚强，并让我度过那些艰难的日子。不仅如此，
音乐还给予我希望和满足感。音乐成了我最好的朋友，它（音乐）使
我的内心深受鼓舞。
当然，我希望你们不要经历和我一样的痛苦。同时，我们都会经
历悲伤或孤独的时光。在那时，音乐可以帮助你，就像它曾经帮助我
一样。我希望大家都能以某种方式开始珍惜音乐，让音乐成为你生活
的一部分。
谢谢大家。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
（2024·江苏四校高一下学期联考）I was born into a family that
was short on money but long on seeking knowledge. We had many
books.And for me， libraries were a place to get my favourite books.
I got older and did the things most people did. Then one spring and
summer my life changed. I lost my wife and retired.I realised that I had
more time on my hands than I had things to do. So I took a volunteer job
at an organisation that sent food， clothes and perhaps some hope to
unlucky members of our community. It was， and remains， an excellent
organisation， but I didn’t feel a connection between it and me. I left.
At the same time， I discovered that I was about to lose touch with an
old， dear friend. Traditional methods of communication were out of the
question. I had only a vague （模糊的） idea of what an email was， and
I had no computer. As you might well guess， I had no warm feelings
about computers. I had to choose； I could keep the attitude， or keep the
friend. No-brainer.
My little library in Camp Verde， Arizona was beginning a computer
class designed for beginners. I learned how to email. Having no
computer， I had to drive to the library most days to do my emailing.
Over a period of time I attracted the attention of Alice， a worker at the
library. She felt the library would be the perfect place for me to volunteer.
She had a point. I was already there a lot and I enjoyed the people I came
in contact with. So I volunteered.
Over the next couple of years， I learned much more about computers
in general and finally came to the point where I was actually able to help
others with some computer problems. Imagine that！

（2024·聊城高一下学期期末）Hua’er， which literally means the
flowers， is a unique form of Shan’ge， or “mountain songs” from
Southern Gansu.Known as “the soul of the northwest”， it is a Chinese
folk song genre shared among people of nine different ethnic groups
including Hui， Han， Dongxiang， Bao’an， Tu， and Zang in Gansu
and Qinghai Provinces of northwest China and throughout north-central
China.
Most Hua’er works are love songs and Hua’er originally roots in
romantic songs.In the past， young men and women living on the plateaus
of the northwest often used folk songs as a way to express their romantic
feeling towards each other when they were out in fields.
There are nearly a hundred patterns of Hua’er melodies.Singers
have created their own offhand （即兴的） words and songs which have
been passed on to generations from mouth to ear until now.
“You have been in my heart for two-three years， and tears of
longing have flooded my heart，” one song sings.This might be normal
to speak out of the love in pop songs nowadays， while it is quite
exceptional for this traditional art form with long history.
As time went by， Hua’er gradually evolved into Hua’er
meeting， which is usually a singing carnival for people and usually lasts
from two to six days.At a Hua’er meeting， people don’t exchange
names or ask where they come from.Instead， they exchange a few pieces
of Hua’er.For the young， it’s a good chance to find their love.For
many， it’s the best time for them to show their singing ability.
With the development of economy and the impact of the modern
civilization， the inheritance and development of Hua’er has suffered
shocks of various degrees.There have been attempts of introducing
modern elements into Hua’er， which transferred Hua’er in the forms
of concertos and symphonies， to theaters， and TV screens.Although
this northwest spiritual singing culture is changing with times， there’s
one thing for sure： With this change， Hua’er will live on even in its
new form.

Ⅲ.应用文写作
（2024·西安高一下学期期末）某英文网站发起一则讨论：Are
you willing to pay for online music？请你写一篇英语短文参与讨论，内
容包括：
1. 表明你对音乐付费的态度；
2. 说明你的理由。
注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；
2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
参考范文：
Nowadays， while some people download music for free online，
others pay for online music. Personally， I support the latter. I firmly
believe we should pay for all valuable products， music is no exception.
Needless to say， it’s illegal to use pirated products. Downloading
music without paying is no different from stealing something from a
supermarket.
Moreover， all hard work is worthy of respect. Those composers，
singers， and players have devoted their time， energy， and passion to
creating the wonderful music works. By paying for their works， not only
can we provide our real support for them， but we can also encourage
them to create more brilliant works.

（2024·山西五校高一下学期联考）Mom and I walked side by side
through the town.I was twelve years old， and dependent on her.She
raised me by herself， and except for when I was at school， we were
almost always together.
She was a nurse， but after my birth she quit her job to care for me.It
was said that she was once one of the best nurses in a big local
hospital.Recently she had returned to work there.She said she wanted to
spend more time being with me， but she couldn’t.
I didn’t like her going back to work.She left at 5：45 a.m.，
which made me responsible for waking myself up， fixing breakfast and
walking to the 7：30 a.m. bus.
I hated being left home alone in the mornings， but I especially hated
having to take the bus.Once I had missed it， I wasn’t only late to
school， but I had also caused Mom to scramble to find someone else to
drive me.After that， I was so worried about missing the bus that I left for
the bus stop too early every day.I stood by myself before the other kids
arrived， in wind， rain and snow， having to bear the embarrassment
when crowded by adult passengers sometimes.
Mom worked the day shift so she could pick me up after
school.Every time she didn’t go to the hospital， she would drive me
both ways.Those were the best days.
On such a day， as we walked on the sidewalk， I saw an old man
coming close to us.When he saw us， he suddenly showed a wide smile，
but I didn’t recognise him.“Leigh！ Leigh！” he said， calling my
mother’s name.My mother also greeted him cheerfully.He asked me
whether I was the daughter of my mom.I said “yes”.I didn’t know
him and just looked at him， unsure of my role.“Well， it is very nice to
meet you， young lady.I hope you know how lucky you are！” he said.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Not knowing why he said so， I looked at him uncertainly.
Mom said there was no need to thank her， but the man insisted.
参考范文：
Not knowing why he said so， I looked at him uncertainly.He
didn’t know my situation at all， and how could he say that？ I didn’t
think I was lucky at all.I was unhappy with his words.The man sensed
that， but just smiled and patted me on the head tenderly.He told me that
when he was in hospital， helpless and alone last month， it was my mom
that took the best care of him.He said Mom made every day better for
him， and that he would never forget her help.
Mom said there was no need to thank her， but the man insisted.I
looked into this stranger’s eyes， which were filled with gratitude to
Mom.I was greatly moved.Right then， I realised what it meant for my
mom to be a nurse， and what it actually meant for her to be busy with her
job while I was at school.She was serving， caring for， and loving
unfamiliar strangers， often during some of the darkest times in their
lives.It was the first time that I had understood why I stood at the bus stop
every morning.

6.B 词义猜测题。根据第四段第二句可知，上句指出在今天的流行歌曲中直白地谈情说爱是很普遍的，下句以while一词开头，表示转折，也就是说对“花儿”这种古老的艺术形式来说，这一点是“不同寻常的；罕见的”。
7.B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的For many， it’s the best time for them to show their singing ability.可知，对大部分人来说，参加花儿大会的主要目的是展示唱歌才艺。
8.C 观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，作者认为，虽然“花儿”这种体现西北精神的歌唱文化随着时代的变化而变化，但有一点是肯定的：伴随着这种变化，花儿将以新的形式继续存在下去。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己从消极应对困难到积极主动克服困难的过程。
9.C 根据一般比赛规则可知，获胜队应该是整体所用时间最短的队。
10.B 根据上句可知，跨越那些障碍是体育老师布置的任务，是“我们”应该做的事。
11.D “我”的队友全部轻松完成任务后，轮到“我”了。
12.B 根据I would never get over it可知，“我”告诉队友自己不可能越过那道五英尺的墙。
13.A 根据语境可知，那是队友们对“我”懦弱表现的回应。
14.D “我”让队友们失望，感觉很糟糕，但也很无奈。
15.C “我”自以为Roland一定也越不过那道墙，他一定也会放弃，所以拿这个来自我安慰。
16.B 参见上题解析。
17.A 根据上文“我”的预想可知，“我”看到Roland他们在庆祝取得第一时，感到很震惊。
18.C 参见上题解析。
19.D Roland是全校最胖的，体重是“我”的两倍，这是“我”对Roland顺利完成障碍赛感到意外和不解的原因。
20.A 根据he could do it可知，他是在给自己鼓劲，说服自己能做到。
21.A 根据语境可知，“我”重返赛场又尝试了一次。
22.C 根据I landed on the other side of that five-foot wall可知，“我”成功地越过了那道墙，所以有了成就感。
23.B 此处指从那以后“我”变成了一个积极应对困难的人。
Ⅲ.
Nowadays， while some people download music for free online， others pay for online music. Personally， I support the latter. I firmly believe we should pay for all valuable products， music is no exception.
Needless to say， it’s illegal to use pirated products. Downloading music without paying is no different from stealing something from a supermarket.
Moreover， all hard work is worthy of respect. Those composers， singers， and players have devoted their time， energy， and passion to creating the wonderful music works. By paying for their works， not only can we provide our real support for them， but we can also encourage them to create more brilliant works.
Ⅳ.
Not knowing why he said so， I looked at him uncertainly.He didn’t know my situation at all， and how could he say that？ I didn’t think I was lucky at all.I was unhappy with his words.The man sensed that， but just smiled and patted me on the head tenderly.He told me that when he was in hospital， helpless and alone last month， it was my mom that took the best care of him.He said Mom made every day better for him， and that he would never forget her help.
Mom said there was no need to thank her， but the man insisted.I looked into this stranger’s eyes， which were filled with gratitude to Mom.I was greatly moved.Right then， I realised what it meant for my mom to be a nurse， and what it actually meant for her to be busy with her job while I was at school.She was serving， caring for， and loving unfamiliar strangers， often during some of the darkest times in their lives.It was the first time that I had understood why I stood at the bus stop every morning.

Step 1 品教材课文 Step 2 析写作手法
Good morning！ My name is Sarah Williams.It’s an honour to be here and to share with you the story of how music has had an impact on my life. Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all？Two years ago， I was told I had a serious disease which was difficult to cure.My body ached all the time and thus I thought I didn’t have much longer to live.I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged.Then one day， I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment.The doctor wanted me to relax， so he had me listen to some music， and one of the songs was “Happy”.The song made me feel so much better that from then on I began to listen to music all the time.John A.Logan said，“Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it’s true.Music helped me recover. Music gave me happiness.When I listened to music， it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind.Music gave me strength and brought me relief.It was the rock I leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times.Moreover， music gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction.It became my best friend.It spoke words of encouragement to the deepest part of my being. Of course， I hope none of you have to go through the same kind of suffering that I did.At the same time， we all go through various periods when we feel sad or alone.During those times， music can help you in the same way that it helped me.I hope all of you will somehow begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life. Thank you！ 学语言： 1.高级句式： （1）第一段中使用了It’s an honour to be here and to share with you ...表达委婉，态度谦和，语言地道。 （2）第二段巧妙地使用when引导的定语从句以及so ...that ...引导的结果状语从句，使句式丰富多彩。 2.逻辑顺序：第二段先用问句开头，引起读者注意，然后按时间顺序展开。 Two years ago， Then one day， from then on使叙述清晰有序。 3.高级表达：运用了have an impact on， go through， a sense of satisfaction， in the same way等词组。 4.修辞手法：本文采用比喻修辞手法（When I listened to music， it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind.）及三个排比句（Music gave me ...），层层递进，语气强烈，富有感染力，突出了音乐对作者的极大影响。 学结构：
【参考译文】
上午好！我叫莎拉·威廉姆斯。非常荣幸来到这里与大家分享音乐是如何影响了我的人生的。
你是否曾经历过黯淡无光、万念俱灰的一段时光？两年前，我被告知得了一种很难治愈的严重疾病，全身一直疼痛，觉得自己活不了多久了。我非常害怕，感到十分孤独、沮丧。后来有一天，我需要去做两个小时的治疗。医生想让我放松，就让我听一些音乐，其中一首歌是《快乐》。听着这首歌，我感觉好多了；从此之后，我开始一直听音乐。约翰·A·洛根曾说过：“音乐是心灵的良药。”的确如此，音乐助我康复。
音乐给我带来了快乐。当我听音乐的时候，音乐让我的心情放飞，像风中的风筝。音乐给予我力量，也让我得到解脱。音乐是岩石，让我倚靠，变得坚强，并让我度过那些艰难的日子。不仅如此，音乐还给予我希望和满足感。音乐成了我最好的朋友，它（音乐）使我的内心深受鼓舞。
当然，我希望你们不要经历和我一样的痛苦。同时，我们都会经历悲伤或孤独的时光。在那时，音乐可以帮助你，就像它曾经帮助我一样。我希望大家都能以某种方式开始珍惜音乐，让音乐成为你生活的一部分。 谢谢大家。
