1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Barton’s wife started working at the Elephant’s World, which works to rescue badly treated elephants just outside Kanchanaburi in Thailand, Barton wondered what would happen if he were to play some slow classical music to these animals.”可知,巴顿的妻子在大象世界工作。故选D项。
2.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“…his wife convinced(说服) the management at the Elephant’s World…”以及后文“…to bring a piano into the place.”并结合下文巴顿给大象演奏钢琴可知,妻子说服管理人员允许他们把一架钢琴带进来。故画线词的意思是“允许”。故选B项。
3.A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“An 80-year-old elephant, Ampan, who is almost totally blind, enjoys Beethoven’s slow Moonlight Sonata movement. He will walk away if I play Schubert, rather than Beethoven, which he loves!”可知,巴顿提到年迈的大象安潘是为了说明大象有自己喜欢的音乐。故选A项。
4.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This musician adds, ‘I feel happy to live with elephants and enjoy getting to know them. I feel it worthwhile to play piano music for them, especially if it brings comfort to those who have had stressful lives or live in darkness.’”可知,巴顿在最后一段想表达的是这项工作给他一种成就感。故选C项。

5.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中“These songs have the power to affect your child’s life forever: you likely remember songs from your childhood that taught you life lessons and new words that you can probably still recall to this day.”可知,简单的歌曲可以影响孩子是因为它们的影响是持久的。故选B项。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Singing contributes to short-term phrase learning for unfamiliar terms. If your child is young, singing can be an excellent way to teach them unfamiliar words and phrases. These short-term memory exercises are repeated to turn the learned language into long-term memory.”可知,因为歌曲有助于长期记忆,所以歌曲对语言学习有好处。故选B项。
7.C 推理判断题。根据第四段“Research has found a significant link between beat-keeping and the ability to read. When your child keeps a beat, they use the same parts of the brain that are responsible for hearing sounds of speech and linking them with letters.”可知,如果孩子不能保持节拍,阅读能力会差。故选C项。
8.A 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“Likewise, the use of songs in everyday activities can improve your child’s ability to learn and memorize new information.”可知,本篇文章主要讲述了歌曲能提高孩子的学习能力和记忆能力,这两种能力对孩子的发展是至关重要的,A项“Songs in child development.”(儿童发展中的歌曲。)能够概括文章主旨。故选A项。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了福建泉州的一种传统音乐形式——南音。
1.when 考查定语从句。此处是定语从句,修饰先行词the Han Dynasty,表示时间,关系词在从句中作状语,应用关系副词when引导限制性定语从句。故填when。
2.with 考查介词。mix with是固定短语,意为“与……混合”。故填with。
3.traditionally 考查副词。修饰谓语动词is played,应用traditional的副词traditionally。故填traditionally。
4.called 考查非谓语动词。此处是非谓语动词作定语,动词call和a bamboo flute之间是被动关系,用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。
5.playing 考查现在分词。此处是非谓语动词作定语,动词play与two musicians之间是主动关系,用现在分词playing和其后的pipa and sanxian构成现在分词短语作后置定语。故填playing。
6.the 考查定冠词。空处用the表特指,during the mid-nineteenth century意为“在19世纪中期”。故填the。
7.survival/surviving 考查名词或动名词。介词despite后应接名词或动名词形式。故填surviving。
8.to preserve 考查动词不定式。此处作目的状语,应用动词不定式to preserve。故填to preserve。
9.clubs 考查名词复数。根据空格前的限定词four hundred可知,可数名词club应用复数形式clubs。故填clubs。
10.was listed 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句子主语Nanyin与list之间是被动关系,再结合时间状语in 2009可知,谓语用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语是Nanyin,be动词用was。故填was listed。Unit 5 MUSIC

You will find that you will pay much attention to the music, and then your sadness can be decreased. You will enter the music ocean. You can experience a baptism (洗礼) of your heart.

A [2025·陕西汉中高一期末考试]
When Barton’s wife started working at the Elephant’s World, which works to rescue badly treated elephants just outside Kanchanaburi in Thailand, Barton wondered what would happen if he were to play some slow classical music to these animals.
For Barton’s 50th birthday, his wife convinced (说服) the management at the Elephant’s World to permit them to bring a piano into the place. However, Barton’s personal project of playing music for these elephants was not one he entered without a few doubts.
As Barton recalls, the night before moving his instrument into the wilderness of the Elephant’s World, he wondered how the elephants would react to the music: “I thought about what it would be like to play for the elephants. Would they listen, or would it be dangerous ”
Moving a piano into nature is not easy. As Barton says, “Moving our piano from Bangkok to the wilderness of the mountains in Kanchanaburi was challenging, but we made it.”
Now Barton is convinced that the universal language of music is a perfect treatment for elephants who have worked for humans all their lives, and have sadly ended up being blind or disabled.
This pianist has carefully observed the reactions of the elephants to the type of music played. “Their breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy,” he says. “An 80-year-old elephant, Ampan, who is almost totally blind, enjoys Beethoven’s slow Moonlight Sonata movement. He will walk away if I play Schubert, rather than Beethoven, which he loves!”
This musician adds, “I feel happy to live with elephants and enjoy getting to know them. I feel it worthwhile to play piano music for them, especially if it brings comfort to those who have had stressful lives or live in darkness.”
( )1.Who worked at the Elephant’s World according to Paragraph 1
A.Some volunteers.
B.The couple.
C.Barton.
D.Barton’s wife.
( )2.What does the underlined word “permit” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Order. B.Allow.
C.Seek. D.Replace.
( )3.Why does Barton mention the aged elephant Ampan
A.To show elephants have their own loved music.
B.To compare two great musicians from Europe.
C.To discuss the hardship the elephant had faced.
D.To explain why he prefers to play classical music.
( )4.What does Barton want to say in the last paragraph
A.He manages to get over the difficulties he met.
B.Playing the piano in the wild makes little sense.
C.The work gives him a sense of achievement.
D.Staying with wild elephants is quite stressful.

Simple songs are used to teach children important life skills in fun ways. These songs have the power to affect your child’s life forever: you likely remember songs from your childhood that taught you life lessons and new words that you can probably still recall to this day. Likewise, the use of songs in everyday activities can improve your child’s ability to learn and memorize new information.
The rhythmic (有节奏的) structure of language is present in music and speech. When your child sings songs they will pick up on both natural and unnatural rhythms. Pauses and stressed syllables (音节) or words are used in conversations to express emotion and stress key points. Songs and rhymes can be used to remember many kinds of information. Music floods into all areas of the brain, allowing itself to be stored in multiple memory locations. The ability to retain information is increased when the child stores memories into multiple areas.
Children learn language quicker through songs rather than lectures. Singing contributes to short-term phrase learning for unfamiliar terms. If your child is young, singing can be an excellent way to teach them unfamiliar words and phrases. These short-term memory exercises are repeated to turn the learned language into long-term memory.
Research has found a significant link between beat-keeping and the ability to read. When your child keeps a beat, they use the same parts of the brain that are responsible for hearing sounds of speech and linking them with letters.
There are small differences in spoken language that can greatly impact the ability to read in young children. Consonants (辅音) such as “b” and “p” can be difficult for a child to distinguish on paper, but their learned ability to associate small changes in songs can help them understand the difference between the consonants while reading.
( )5.Why are simple songs powerful for children
A.They teach special skills.
B.They have lasting effects.
C.They improve singing skills.
D.They develop deep thinking.
( )6.Why are songs good for language learning
A.They are more interesting than talks.
B.They help with long-term memory.
C.They teach difficult expressions.
D.They make repetition achievable.
( )7.What may happen if a child fails to maintain a beat
A.Loss of hearing.
B.Bad writing habits.
C.Poor reading skills.
D.Less speaking fluency.
( )8.What does the text mainly talk about
A.Songs in child development.
B.Songs and consonants.
C.Songs and brain areas.
D.Rhythms in language.
