1.B 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Rivera first gained wide notice in 1957 as Anita in the original production of the musical play West Side Story. She was still dancing on New York’s Broadway stage a half century later in 2015’s The Visit.”可知,作者提到这两部戏剧是为了强调Rivera漫长的艺术生涯。故选B。
2.A 推理判断题。由文章第三段“‘I wouldn’t know what to do if I wasn’t moving or telling a story to you or singing a song,’ she said at the time. ‘That’s the spirit of my life, and I’m really so lucky to be able to do what I love, even at this time in my life.’”可知,艺术对她来说就是一切。故选A。
3.C 代词指代题。由文章第七段中“Just five years earlier, Rivera had been in a serious car accident that broke her right leg. It could have ended her career.”可知,画线处指代前文提到的严重的车祸。故选C。

It could have ended her career. After months of physical treatment to regain her dancing skills, she returned to the stage singing and dancing as energetically as ever. She said, ‘It never entered my mind that I wouldn’t dance again.’”可知, Chita Rivera不仅才华横溢,多次获得托尼奖,而且在遭遇严重车祸后,通过数月的身体治疗重返舞台,展现出极强的决心。由此可推知,最能描述她的词语是“坚定且有天赋”。故选C。

A [2024·河南多校联考高一期中]
Famous American performer Chita Rivera died on January 30 in New York. She was 91 years old. The famed dancer, singer and actor won many awards and honours in her long career on Broadway and beyond.
Rivera first gained wide notice in 1957 as Anita in the original production of the musical play West Side Story. She was still dancing on New York’s Broadway stage a half century later in 2015’s The Visit.
“I wouldn’t know what to do if I wasn’t moving or telling a story to you or singing a song,” she said at the time. “That’s the spirit of my life, and I’m really so lucky to be able to do what I love, even at this time in my life.”
Rivera was born on January 23, 1933, in Washington D.C. Her father was a musician. He died when Rivera was seven. Her mother was of a Scottish and Italian ancestry (血统).
Rivera studied dance as a young girl and was accepted into a highly respected school for ballet. She was 17 when she won her first part in a musical.
She won two Tonys, the highest award for live theatre in the United States. Her first came in 1984 with the production of The Rink. She won again in 1993 for the play Kiss of the Spider Woman.
The second Tony was an especially sweet victory for the star. Just five years earlier, Rivera had been in a serious car accident that broke her right leg. It could have ended her career. After months of physical treatment to regain her dancing skills, she returned to the stage singing and dancing as energetically as ever. She said, “It never entered my mind that I wouldn’t dance again.”
When accepting the Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2018, Rivera said, “I wouldn’t trade my life in the theatre for anything, because theatre is life.”

B [2024·广东深圳建文外国语学校高一期中]
Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Then why is art still widely considered “the easy subject” at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort
Art can connect culture with commercial products; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience.
What’s more, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their art experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s well-being. The Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in maths and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used across the world. Life without art would be boring, for art is a part of what makes us human.
( )5.Why do art products differ from most other commercial products
A.Because their prices may climb up as time passes.
B.Because most people purchase them for collection.
C.Because they are more expensive and less accessible.
D.Because they have both commercial and cultural value.
( )6.What can community members do by sharing their art experiences
A.Develop a stronger tie between them.
B.Keep the community safe from illnesses.
C.Learn to appreciate their own works of art.
D.Offer honourable solutions to their problems.
( )7.How does kids’ engagement with the arts benefit them
A.It helps to make responsible people out of them.
B.It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.
C.It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.
D.It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.
( )8.What is the best title for this passage
A.How art cures our hearts
B.How art benefits communities
C.Art: a bridge between cultures
D.Art: a blessing to humankind(共59张PPT)

She was still dancing on New York's Broadway stage a half
century later in 2015's The Visit.
“I wouldn't know what to do if I wasn't moving or telling a
story to you or singing a song,” she said at the time. “That's
the spirit of my life, and I'm really so lucky to be able to do
what I love, even at this time in my life.”
Rivera was born on January 23, 1933, in Washington D.C.
Her father was a musician. He died when Rivera was seven. Her
mother was of a Scottish and Italian ancestry (血统).

Rivera studied dance as a young girl and was accepted into
a highly respected school for ballet. She was 17 when she won
her first part in a musical.
She won two Tonys, the highest award for live theatre in
the United States. Her first came in 1984 with the production of
The Rink. She won again in 1993 for the play Kiss of the Spider
Woman.
The second Tony was an especially sweet victory for the
star. Just five years earlier, Rivera had been in a serious car

accident that broke her right leg. It could have ended her
career. After months of physical treatment to regain her dancing
skills, she returned to the stage singing and dancing as
energetically as ever. She said, “It never entered my mind that I
wouldn't dance again.”
When accepting the Special Tony Award for Lifetime
Achievement in 2018, Rivera said, “I wouldn't trade my life in
the theatre for anything, because theatre is life.”

B[2024·广东深圳建文外国语学校高一期中]
Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully
designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.
Then why is art still widely considered “the easy subject” at
school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort
Art can connect culture with commercial products; art
generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural
value within communities. When people attend a concert, they
are paying for music, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and
transport, but they also gain an incredible experience.

What's more, the arts can bring communities together,
reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds
are created among individuals when they share their art
experiences through reflection and discussion, and their
expression of common values.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical
and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent
cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to
gain good health compared to those who do not;

more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of
people's well-being. The Public Health discovered that music
and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions
of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater
achievements in their education: those engaged with drama
have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical
practice exhibit greater skills in maths and languages. Kids with
preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding

employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential
for child development; encouraging children to express
themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy
emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used across the
world. Life without art would be boring, for art is a part of
what makes us human.
