Live at Leeds Festival, United Kingdom
A weekend of indie music taking over Leeds for one day in May, Metronomy, Sundara Karma and Tom Grennan will headline, but there's a focus on the city's newer bands, with the festival aiming to bring new artists into the spotlight. Events take place across the city, with wristbands giving you access to all the places. And to go to this festival, you need to be over 14 years old.
Time: 4 May, 2019
Midnight Sun Film Festival, Finland
Almost a hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle, Sodankyl? is where Finnish film director brothers Aki and Mika Kaurism?ki rock up every summer for their Midnight Sun Film Festival, a five-day-and-night celebration of new cinema. A mix of silent films, contemporary Finnish ones, recent festival hits and box-office classics are screened around the clock.
Time: 12－16 June, 2019
Fuji Rock Festival, Japan
The first ever Fuji Rock Festival was held at the bottom of Mount Fuji back in 1997 and has brought in music and rock fans from all over the world. The festival is now held in the Naeba Ski Resort and is celebrating its 23rd anniversary this year. The artists who perform aren't all rockers. Your wristband has to be checked at the entrance. We offer facilities for children, but they can't be left unaccompanied.
Time: 26－28 July, 2019
The White Nights Festival, St. Petersburg, Russia
The White Nights Festival is held at the city's famous Mariinsky Theatre and shows some of the world's best opera and ballet. It's the best time to visit St. Petersburg because it's held during the magical summer period when there's almost 24 hours of sunlight a day.
Time: 11 May－31 July, 2019
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四个艺术类节日，包括英国的Live at Leeds音乐节，芬兰的午夜太阳电影节，日本的富士摇滚音乐节以及俄罗斯的白色夜晚节。
1．Which festival lasts the longest time?
A．Live at Leeds Festival.
B．Midnight Sun Film Festival.
C．Fuji Rock Festival.
D．The White Nights Festival.
D [细节理解题。根据题干关键词“lasts the longest time”定位至四个节日介绍的时间，由“Time: 4 May, 2019”“Time: 12－16 June, 2019”“Time: 26－28 July, 2019”“Time: 11 May－31 July, 2019”可知，持续时间最长的是俄罗斯圣彼得堡的白色夜晚节，从五月十一日持续到七月三十一日，故D项正确。]
2．Where will you enjoy a 24-hour movie activity?
A．In Leeds, United Kingdom.
B．In Sodankyl?， Finland.
C．In the Naeba Ski Resort, Japan.
D．In St. Petersburg, Russia.
B [细节理解题。根据Midnight Sun Film Festival, Finland部分中的“A mix of silent films...are screened around the clock”，并结合该部分其他内容可知，在芬兰的Sodankyl?这个地方你能享受一个24小时的电影活动，故B项正确。]
3．What do Live at Leeds Festival and Fuji Rock Festival have in common?
A．They are of the same music style.
B．They focus on new artists.
C．They require entrance wristbands.
D．They have age limits.
C [细节理解题。根据Live at Leeds Festival, United Kingdom部分中的“Events take place across the city, with wristbands giving you access to all the places”可知，英国的Live at Leeds音乐节入场需要带上腕带；根据Fuji Rock Festival, Japan部分中的“Your wristband has to be checked at the entrance”可知，参加富士摇滚音乐节要在入口处检查腕带。据此可知，这两个节日的共同之处是观众需要带上腕带进场，故C项正确。]

(2019·昆明市摸底调研)A study of 500，000 songs released(发行) in the UK between 1985 and 2015 showed that pop music had decreased in happiness and increased in sadness.
In a report published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood. “‘Happiness’ is going down, ‘sadness’ is going up, and at the same time, the songs are becoming more ‘danceable’ and more ‘party-like’，” co-author Natalia L．Komarova told The Associated Press.
The study found songs in 2014 like Stay With Me by Sam Smith, Whispers by Passenger and Unmissable by Gorgon City have a “low happiness” trend. However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen, Would I Lie To You? by Eurythmics and Freedom by Wham had a “high happiness” trend. “The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year，” the researchers wrote.
Apart from the emotional trends, researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend, with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s. “So it looks like, while the overall mood is becoming less happy, people seem to want to forget it all and dance，” Komarova wrote in an email.
It was also found that the “maleness” of songs—the frequency of male singers in popular music—had decreased during the last 30 years. “Successful songs are characterised by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs，” they wrote.
This discovery appears at a time when the conversation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height, with more male artists and songwriters.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了流行音乐表达的情绪的变化趋势。
4．The researchers examined lots of songs to ．
A．find songs for dances and parties
B．choose songs for a journal
C．release more songs
D．know better about songs
D [推理判断题。文章第二段介绍了加州大学的研究者们调查了成千上万的歌曲并把它们按情绪分类，紧接着得出歌曲分类的结果，可见他们调查歌曲的目的是想对歌曲有更多的了解，故选D。A、C两项曲解文意；B项无中生有。]
5．Whose music style tends to bring you more happiness?
A．Natalia L．Komarova's.
B．Sam Smith's.
C．Gorgon City's.
D．Bruce Springsteen's.
D [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen...had a ‘high happiness’ trend”可知D项正确。Natalia L．Komarova为报道的合著者，而非歌手；Sam Smith、Gorgon City所演唱的歌曲有让人开心感降低的趋势，故排除。]
6．What do we know about songs over the past three decades?
A．Rock became popular in the early 2000s.
B．Fewer unhappy songs came to light every year.
C．Male singers were better at performing pop music.
D．Female artists were less skilled in writing songs.
A [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s”可知，摇滚乐在21世纪初开始流行，故A项正确。其余三个选项的内容均与文意不符。]
7．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Pop Music Is Getting Sadder
B．Music Calls for Sex Equality

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2019·新疆维吾尔自治区第二次适应性检测)You've no doubt heard “less is more” over and over again. Less is better because it is good for your bank account and your waistline(腰围). But in some areas of our lives, we can benefit from “more” instead of “less”. 1
Give more.
If you see something beautiful in someone, say it. Why are you holding back a compliment, a kind word of encouragement or support or some well-deserved praise? Giving is a gift to the giver and receiver. 2 Once you start doing this, people will only want you around more.
Support others more.
Speaking of encouragement, who could use your support right now? 3 Someone who is struggling? Reach out! You'll be glad you did.

When we push back against things we don't want(“I can't believe Catherine copied my clothes again！”), our resistance still holds us close to the thing that hurts us. When we are more accepting of life's ups and downs, we find peace.
Find more role models.
Who do you want to be like? Find role models who inspire you. Read about them. Buy their books. Dive into online interviews. 5
A life of richness can be defined in a million ways. And guess what? It's waiting for you to live it—as soon as you open yourself up.
A．Accept more.
B．Get mental peace.
C．Do it every single day.
D．A friend going through a loss or a big change?
E．Here is how “more” can be a good thing in your life.
F．Let their success be an example of what's possible for you, too.
G．Maybe someone who is always the support of you when you are in trouble?
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。在生活中，我们能从“更多”中而不是从“更少”中受益匪浅。
1．E [空处承上启下，空前一句是说在我们生活中的一些方面，我们能从“更多”而不是“更少”中受益，并结合下文列举的例子可知，E项衔接上下文，符合语境，故选E。]
2．C [空后一句是说一旦你开始这样做，人们就会想让你更多地陪伴在身边，故C项“每天都这样做”符合语境。]
3．D [空前一句是说谈到鼓励，谁可能现在需要你的支持？并结合空后一句可知，D项“一个正经历损失或重大改变的朋友？”符合语境，故选D。]
4．A [根据空处所在位置和文章结构可知，空处为段落小标题，该段主要讲的是在生活中我们要接受更多，故选A。]
5．F [本段主要讲找到更多的榜样，空前几句是说读有关他们的故事，买关于他们的书，看网上的采访，F项“让他们的成功成为你也可能成功的榜样”符合语境，故选F。]
Ⅲ.语法填空

【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了如何坚持目标并将之实现。
1．choices [考查词性转换。由空前的定冠词the可知，此处应用名词形式，且与some呼应可知，此处应用名词的复数形式，故填choices。]
2．actually [考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词，故用副词actually修饰形容词good，在句中作状语。]
3．thankful [考查形容词。根据空前的are可知，空处应用形容词作表语，故填thankful。]
4．the [考查冠词。in the next five years“在未来五年里”，为固定用法，故用定冠词the。]
5．in [考查介词。get in the way of sth.意为“阻止某事发生”，为固定短语，故用介词in。]
6．decided [考查动词的时态。与下文的was呼应可知，此处描述的事情发生在过去，故用一般过去时，故填decided。]
7．prepared [考查非谓语动词。“have＋宾语＋宾补”为固定用法，且everything与prepare之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作宾语补足语，表示“完成或解决某事”。]
8．to help [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用不定式表示目的。故填to help。]
9．but [考查连词。根据语境可知，空处前后句表示逻辑上的转折关系，故用连词but。]
10．them [考查代词。与上文中的goals呼应可知，此处用代词them作宾语。]
Ⅳ.读后续写

He met her at a party.She was so outstanding，with many boys around her，while he was so ordinary，with nobody paying attention to him.
At the end of the party，he invited her to have coffee with him.She was surprised，but out of politeness，she agreed.
They sat in a nice coffee shop.He was too nervous to say anything，and she felt uncomfortable，thinking，“Please let me go home.”
Suddenly he asked the waiter，“Would you please give me some salt？I'd like to put it in my coffee.”
Everybody stared at him.So strange！His face turned red, but，still，he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.
She asked him curiously，“Why do you have this hobby？”
He replied，“When I was a little boy，I was living near the sea.I liked playing in the sea，and I could feel the taste of the sea，just like the taste of the salty coffee.Now every time I have the salty coffee，I always think of my childhood.I miss so much my hometown and my parents who are still living there.”
While saying that he couldn't hold back his tears.She was deeply touched.That's his true feeling，from the bottom of his heart.A man who can speak out his homesickness must be a man who loves home，cares about home，and has responsibility for his family.
Then she also started to speak about her faraway hometown，her childhood，and her family.That was a really nice talk，also a beautiful beginning of their story.
They continued to date.She found that actually he was a man who met all her demands：he was kind-hearted，warm and careful.He was such a good person but she almost missed him!
Thanks to his salty coffee！Then the story went on just like every beautiful love story：the princess married the prince，and then they were living in happiness...And，every time she made coffee for him，she put some salt in the coffee.
Paragraph 1：
After 40 years，he passed away，leaving her a letter.
Paragraph 2：
Learning the truth while reading the letter，
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
After 40 years，he passed away，leaving her a letter.It said，“My dearest，please forgive my only lie I told you—the salty coffee.Remember the first time we dated？I was so nervous that I said salt.Actually I wanted some sugar.”He said many times he wanted to tell her the truth，but he was afraid of losing her.He also told her having her with him was his biggest happiness in his life.If he could live for a second time，he still wanted to marry her.
Paragraph 2：
Learning the truth while reading the letter，she wept，with tears down her face，making the paper totally wet.Never had she doubted it.Thinking that every time he drank the strange taste of coffee，her heart ached a lot.Her husband was such a kind-hearted and considerate man that he hid the truth for his whole life.How deeply he loved her！Someday，someone asked her，“What's the taste of salty coffee？”“It's sweet，”she replied.
