Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025·福建福州)
I was born with perfect hearing. When I was five, I started getting ear infections but my parents couldn't afford the treatment. Over time, my hearing dropped to 20 percent, where it is today.
There was always music on in my house in my childhood. I loved listening to Metallica, and Michael Jackson. My dad was a DJ, so he played all music. For my 18th birthday, my dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant he owned. I was hooked, so I desired to learn more. I e mailed DJ Shiftee, a distinguished New York City DJ, when I was 25: “I know you like a challenge. How about teaching a deaf person to deejay ” He wrote back the next day: “Challenge accepted.” He tutored me twice a week for two years, helping me develop correct technique. I practiced four hours a day.
Now when I'm performing, muscle memory takes over. When I started, I wouldn't tell the club managers that I was deaf. I would just show up, introduce myself, and start playing music. At the end of the night, someone would say, “Oh, here's the check.” And I'd say, “What Oh, I can't hear.” They were always so astonished. Sometimes I would bring doctor's notes because they wouldn't believe me. It was reassurance that they were giving me opportunities to perform because I was brilliant, not out of sympathy. Eventually people started calling me “that deaf DJ”, and the name stuck.
What fascinates me about deejaying is the creativity. I use software that turns the music into lines of color on a computer screen. I'm visually hearing the music. The next time you go dancing, cover your ears, and you'll “see” the music. Music is not all about hearing. I go to elementary schools for the deaf and talk to them about motivation and believing in themselves. I tell them, “Just chase your dreams. I'm a deaf DJ, so why not ”
1. What inspired the author's passion for being a DJ
A. Hearing loss. B. His father's influence.
C. Music education. D. Teachers' guidance.
2. Why did the author keep his deafness private before the performance
A. To surprise the audience. B. To avoid discrimination.
C. To keep the secret. D. To show off his talent.
3. What does the underlined word “stuck” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Became established. B. Changed. C. Became ordinary. D. Faded.
4. Why does the author love deejaying
A. It strengthens his confidence. B. It improves his hearing ability.
C. It enhances his physical fitness. D. It wins him reputation and money.
答案及解析：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位失聪者在音乐道路上的成长历程，通过描述自己对打碟的热爱、克服听力障碍进行表演、与他人的互动等，展现了他对打碟的执着追求，同时也传达了“只要追逐梦想，任何困难都不能阻挡”以及“音乐不仅仅是听觉的艺术”的信念。
1. B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My dad was a DJ, so he played all music. For my 18th birthday, my dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant he owned. I was hooked, so I desired to learn more. (我的爸爸是一名唱片骑师，所以他播放各种音乐。在我18岁生日的时候，我的爸爸让我在他开的餐厅担任唱片骑师。我被迷住了，因此我渴望学习更多。)”可知，作者的父亲是唱片骑师，并且在作者18岁生日时让他在餐厅做唱片骑师，这激发了作者成为唱片骑师的热情。故选B。
2. B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When I started, I wouldn't tell the club managers…to perform because I was brilliant, not out of sympathy. (当我开始表演的时候，我不会告诉俱乐部经理我是名失聪者。我只会出现，自我介绍，然后开始播放音乐。在晚上结束的时候，有人会说：‘哦，这是支票。’然后我会说：‘什么 哦，我听不见。’他们总是非常惊讶。有时我会带上医生的证明，因为他们不相信我。这让我很安心，他们给我表演的机会是因为我很出色，而不是出于同情。)”可知，作者在表演前不告诉俱乐部经理自己是失聪者是为了避免歧视。故选B。
3. A　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“It was reassurance that they were giving me opportunities to perform because I was brilliant, not out of sympathy. Eventually people started calling me ‘that deaf DJ’, and the name stuck. (这让我很安心，他们给我表演的机会是因为我很出色，而不是出于同情。最终人们开始叫我‘那个失聪的唱片骑师’，这个名字……。)”可知，最终人们开始称呼作者为“那个失聪唱片骑师”，这个名字被大家接受并流传开来。故stuck意为“被接受，流传开来”，与选项became established含义最为接近。故选A。
4. A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“What fascinates me about deejaying is the creativity. (关于成为唱片骑师让我着迷的是其创造力。)”及“I go to elementary schools for the deaf and talk to them about motivation and believing in themselves. (我去聋哑小学，和那里的孩子们谈论激励及相信自己。)”可知，作者喜欢做唱片骑师是因为它增强了作者的自信心。故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·河北秦皇岛)
I was a radio presenter for many years, including hosting a music show. I soon noticed that almost everyone chose music from the same period: when they were in their teens or early twenties. __1__
Firstly, we tend to have a different good memory between the ages of about ten and thirty. __2__ The second reason is that music is a powerful trigger for our emotions, which in turn spark our memories. The music in our teen years is likely to have lots of emotions to understand, so even a very small part of a particular song can bring powerful feelings and memories flooding back.
__3__ It can have a calming effect, putting you in a relaxed mood, ready to remember. Rhythms and rhymes are great memory aids. And when we love a song, we tend to repeat it over and over again. Singing or playing something can even activate “muscle memory”, and there are many cases of people with severe memory loss still being able to perform music they learned decades ago.
So the next time you hear a familiar song, put it to good use, to explore and exercise your memory. Think about the places and people it reminds you of and the emotions it brings. __4__ Remember a particular time in your life, think about the music you listened to then and let it take you back, following the connections as you piece together the past.
You can also use music when you're learning. __5__ If you're dealing with several topics, play different styles of music while learning different things.
Experiment to see what works for you. Songs can have a powerful impact on memory, and that should be music to everyone's ears!
A. There are two very good reasons for that.
B. The following practical suggestions are just for you.
C. There are further ways in which music boosts recall.
D. Find recordings that energize your thinking in your study.
E. Some people use music to make themselves fall asleep faster.
F. You may feel as if you rediscover the richest details of your past.
G. Most of us have more novel and exciting memorable experiences then.
答案及解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述音乐对记忆力的促进作用。
1. A　上文“I soon noticed that almost everyone chose music from the same period: when they were in their teens or early twenties.(我很快注意到，几乎每个人都选择了同一时期的音乐：在他们十几岁或二十出头的时候。)”提到人们都会选择十几岁或者二十出头时期的音乐，下一段解释了两个原因，故A项“有两个很好的理由”承上启下。故选A。
2. G　根据上文“Firstly, we tend to have a different good memory between the ages of about ten and thirty.(首先，在10岁到30岁之间，我们的记忆力很好且有所不同。)”可知，在10岁到30岁之间，我们的记忆力很好且有所不同，G项“那时我们大多数人都有更新奇、更令人兴奋、更难忘的经历”进一步描述10到30岁这段时期的特点，符合语境。故选G。
3. C　根据下文“It can have a calming effect, putting you in a relaxed mood, ready to remember. Rhythms and rhymes are great memory aids. And when we love a song, we tend to repeat it over and over again.(它可以有一种镇静的效果，让你心情放松，准备好记住。节奏和押韵是很好的记忆工具。当我们喜欢一首歌时，我们倾向于一遍又一遍地重复它。)”可知，本段是描述音乐对记忆力有好处，C项“音乐还可以通过其他方式提高记忆力”符合语境，下文中的“It”指代C项中的“music”。故选C。
4. F　上文“Think about the places and people it reminds you of and the emotions it brings.(想想它让你想起的地方和人，以及它带给你的情感。)”提到想想歌曲让你想起的地方和人，以及它带给你的情感，空处应是描述结果，想起了什么，F项“你可能会觉得你重新发现了你过去最丰富的细节”符合语境。故选F。
5. D　根据上文“You can also use music when you're learning.(你也可以在学习的时候使用音乐。)”及下文“If you're dealing with several topics, play different styles of music while learning different things.(如果你要处理几个主题，在学习不同的东西的同时播放不同风格的音乐。)”可知，本段是有关音乐和学习，可以在学习时播放一些有益的音乐，D项“找一些能激发你学习思维的唱片”符合语境。故选D。
Ⅲ.读后续写

(2025·福建龙岩)
“Brrrrr—boppppp!” Ricky sat at the kitchen table, imitating the drumbeat of his favorite song as he finished his math homework. His pencil moved in time to the percussive (打击声的) rhythms booming from his earbuds.
Grandma Johnson came into the kitchen just as Ricky was putting his math notebook back into his backpack.
“I don't know how you get anything done listening to that hippity hoppity noise,”she exclaimed.
Ricky took out his earbuds and fought hard not to roll his eyes. He knew Grandma Johnson was half teasing. But the hip hop rhythms relaxed his mind and quietened his thoughts, allowing his brain to focus on the page.
“Guess what, Grandma ” said Ricky. “I've finished my homework.”
Without his earbuds, Ricky could hear the music playing in the background—a song by Diana Ross and the Supremes. Pushing aside his annoyance, he took his grandmother's hand and gave her a little twirl (旋转). Ricky has always felt close to his grandma. And now that his high school was near his grandmother's Brooklyn home, he went there every day to eat dinner and do his homework before heading home to Harlem. Ricky knew his presence helped ease his grandmother's loneliness, and he loved spending time with her. But…he just wished she would stop dismissing his favorite music as noise.
That evening, Grandma surprised Ricky with tickets to a Stevie Wonder concert at Madison Square Garden. Ricky was secretly disappointed, as he believed the concert would be boring, compared to the hip hop concerts he had attended. However, he smiled and thanked his grandmother for the gift. At dinner, Grandma Johnson took out her old photo albums and told Ricky stories about her past experiences at music festivals and concerts, including a Stevie Wonder concert in 1972. “This is not just music,” Grandma told him. “This is Black History, Black Culture. Blind as he is, he is a great musician.” But a Stevie Wonder concert today—an old guy on stage, playing a keyboard and singing No dancers No special effects How boring!
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
The day of the concert arrived. _____________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
It turned out that the live performance differed from Ricky's imagination. ___
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One possible version:
The day of the concert arrived. Ricky, with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, accompanied his grandmother to Madison Square Garden. The atmosphere was electric, filled with fans of all ages, their faces glowing with anticipation. As they took their seats, Grandma Johnson's excitement was palpable, her eyes sparkling with memories. Ricky couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for his earlier dismissive thoughts about the concert. The lights dimmed, and the stage came to life, the audience erupting into cheers as Stevie Wonder made his entrance.
It turned out that the live performance differed from Ricky's imagination. The music was soulful and powerful, transcending generations and resonating deeply within him. Stevie's voice, rich and emotive, captivated the audience, and his mastery of the keyboard was nothing short of mesmerizing. There were no flashy dancers or high tech special effects, but the raw talent and passion of the performance spoke volumes. Ricky found himself tapping his feet, nodding his head, and even singing along. By the end of the concert, he had a newfound appreciation for the music that had shaped his grandmother's youth and realized the timeless beauty of true artistry.
【详解】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ricky与他的祖母之间关于音乐的代沟和理解的故事。Ricky通过祖母给他的Stevie Wonder音乐会的票，经历了从怀疑到欣赏的转变，从而对祖母的音乐品味和文化背景有了更深的理解。
1. 段落续写：
①根据第一段首句“音乐会的日子到来了。”可知，第一段描述Ricky虽然对音乐会持怀疑态度，但出于对祖母的尊重，还是陪同她前往。
②根据第二段首句“结果发现现场表演与Ricky的想象不同。”可知，第二段揭示了音乐会的现场表演超出了Ricky的预期，使他对音乐有了新的认识。
2. 续写线索：陪同——现场体验——转变观念——欣赏——理解
