Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
(2020·桂林、崇左聯(lián)合模擬)Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp(豎琴), near Alexandria’s historic waterfront.
A glass harp is made up of different-sized drinking glasses, each containing water. Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical sound.
Turner is 78 years old now. He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table. He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound. Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound. The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.
Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound. Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument. There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on the Internet. He hopes the next generation will continue making their music.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 杰米·特納經(jīng)常在弗吉尼亞州亞歷山大人群密集的地方演奏玻璃豎琴:敲擊不同大小的盛水的玻璃杯,發(fā)出動聽的樂聲。他不僅能演奏玻璃豎琴專門樂曲,還能用它演奏中國流行音樂。
1.What do we know about Turner?
A.He began playing the glass harp at six.
B.He often teaches glass harp lessons online.
C.He is a great master of the Chinese language.
D.He was inspired by his father to learn the glass harp.
D 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.”可知,在六歲時,杰米·特納聽到父親在餐桌上用一玻璃杯水演奏音樂,開始對玻璃豎琴產(chǎn)生興趣。據(jù)此可知,D項正確。
2.What does the author say about the glass harp?
A.Its inventor is Wolfgang Mozart.
B.It is made up of glasses of the same size.
C.It appears to be gaining in popularity today.
D.Its sounds are affected by the amount of water in the glasses.
D 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第三、四句“He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound.”可知,杯子中的水量不同,產(chǎn)生的音調(diào)也不同;添加或去掉少量水就會改變聲音。據(jù)此可知,玻璃豎琴的聲音受杯子中水量的影響,故D項正確。
3.Why does Turner prefer to use cheap glass?
A.To save money.
B.To produce better sounds.
C.To help recycle drinking glasses.
D.To increase difficulty in performing.
B 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第一句“Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound.”可知,特納總是使用低價玻璃杯是因為其聲音聽起來比昂貴的水晶杯好聽,故B項正確。
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.A Musician Pleases Crowds by Playing Glasses
B.Playing the Glass Harp: a New Trend
C.Jamey Turner’s Dream Coming True
D.Wonderful Music Has No Borders
A 解析:標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)第一段“Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp(豎琴), near Alexandria’s historic waterfront.”并結(jié)合全文其他內(nèi)容可知,本文主要講述了一位音樂家為人群演奏玻璃豎琴的故事。故A項最適合作本文標(biāo)題。B項意為“演奏玻璃豎琴:一種新趨勢”,與文章最后一段中的“Few people play the glass harp these days”不符;C項意為“杰米·特納的夢想實現(xiàn)了”,文章未提及;D項意為“美妙的音樂沒有國界”,偏離主題。
【難句分析】 A glass harp is made up of different-sized drinking glasses, each containing water.
分析:本句是一個簡單句。該句中的“each containing water”為獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu),作句子的伴隨狀語,be made up of意為“由……組成”。
譯文:一個玻璃豎琴由不同大小的玻璃杯組成,每個玻璃杯里盛著水。

(2020·甘肅高考診斷)Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a__silly__belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U.S. and elsewhere.
However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group. Wu-Tang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.
In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan—a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name—and Shaolin Temple. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life. “Be formless, shapeless, like water,” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.

A.All Chinese people can do kung fu.
B.China is most famous for its kung fu.
C.Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
D.Many Westerners admire kung fu.
A 解析:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a__silly__belief.”可知,This指代西方人認(rèn)為中國人都知道如何練功夫這一想法,由此可知,這個荒唐的想法就是,所有中國人都會功夫。故選A。
6.What inspired the author’s interest in kung fu?
A.Hong Kong action movies.
B.A TV program about kung fu.
C.Kung fu stars in Hollywood.
D.A U.S. hip hop group.
D 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知,作者對中國功夫的興趣其實是由一支嘻哈樂隊激發(fā)的,這個樂隊的名字叫作“武當(dāng)派”。故選D。

A.They have Chinese culture in their songs.
B.They taught the author how to do Wudang quan.
C.They performed Chinese martial arts in the U.S.
D.They showed the author the way to live in China.
A 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的第一句可知,在武當(dāng)派的歌曲中,有時會提到一些武當(dāng)拳和少林寺中的哲學(xué)觀念,武當(dāng)拳是中國的一種武術(shù),也是樂隊名字的由來。因此他們的歌曲中會體現(xiàn)出中國文化。故選A。
8.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The author was sorry that he couldn’t do kung fu.
B.The concepts of kung fu change over time.
C.The spirit of kung fu helps the author overcome difficulties.
D.Bruce Lee was the most popular martial arts master.

(2020·江西高三模擬)
How to Protect Your Ears
You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You have to shout to be heard. 1.________ So no harm done...right?
Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious—and irreversible(不能治愈的)—hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in twenty have mild hearing loss. 2.________ But the good news is that there are plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage—and still listen to the music you love.
Ask around. Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you’re listening to. 3.________ Turn it down.
Buy noise-canceling headphones. A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volume.
Take breaks. 4.________ So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.
5.________ You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts—or while playing or practicing your own music—without changing the quality of the sound.
A.Use earplugs.
B.Keep the volume below 70 percent.
C.If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.
D.But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.
E.Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.
F.Unfortunately, there’s no way to get back hearing you’ve already lost.
G.The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了幾種保護聽力的方法,包括詢問身邊的人音樂的音量、購買噪音消除耳機、定時休息和使用耳塞。
1.D 解析:根據(jù)上文可知,某個周五晚上的音樂會讓你耳鳴;結(jié)合空處后一句“So no harm done...right?”可知,耳朵似乎并沒有受到傷害;據(jù)此可推知,空處應(yīng)表示轉(zhuǎn)折,故D項“但是到了早上,你的聽力完全恢復(fù)正?!狈险Z境。
2.F 解析:根據(jù)空處后一句“But the good news is that there are plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage—and still listen to the music you love.”可知,但好消息是,有很多方法可以保護你的耳朵免受進(jìn)一步的傷害,同時還能繼續(xù)聽你喜歡的音樂。據(jù)此可推知,空處與此句為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故F項“不幸的是,你已經(jīng)喪失的聽力無法恢復(fù)”銜接上下文,符合語境。
3.C 解析:空處上文是說當(dāng)你戴上耳塞或耳機時,問一下你身邊的朋友是否能聽見你聽的內(nèi)容,再結(jié)合空后一句“Turn it down.”可知,C項“如果答案是肯定的,那你的音樂太大聲了”符合語境。
4.E 解析:根據(jù)該段小標(biāo)題Take breaks.并結(jié)合空處后一句“So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.”可知,該段主要建議讓耳朵定時休息,故E項與此處匹配。
5.A 解析:根據(jù)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)以及空處所在的位置可知,空處為該段的小標(biāo)題;根據(jù)該段的內(nèi)容可知,你可以在任何一家藥店買到一副便宜的耳塞,可以用于降低音樂會的音量。據(jù)此可知,該段主要建議準(zhǔn)備一副耳塞,故A項正確。
Ⅲ.語法填空
(2020·陜西摸底檢測)Recently researchers have had a finding 1.____________ singing in groups could have a positive impact on reducing 2.____________(anxious) and depression.

【解題導(dǎo)語】 研究發(fā)現(xiàn),合唱可以緩解壓力,減少沮喪,有利于精神健康。
1.that 解析:考查同位語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空處引導(dǎo)的從句解釋說明a finding,作其同位語,空處在句中不作句子成分,僅起連接作用,故填that。
2.a(chǎn)nxiety 解析:考查名詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,本空作reducing的賓語,與depression并列,故填名詞anxiety。
3.called 解析:考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,動詞call和其邏輯主語a community singing group構(gòu)成動賓關(guān)系,故填其過去分詞形式called。
4.to examine 解析:考查動詞不定式。此處表示一個研究小組進(jìn)行該研究是為了調(diào)查與他人一起唱歌是如何影響精神健康的,表目的,故填動詞不定式to examine。
5.who/that 解析:考查定語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處引導(dǎo)限制性定語從句,先行詞為people,從句中缺少主語,故填who或that。
6.a(chǎn)n 解析:考查冠詞。part在此處為可數(shù)名詞,且在文中第一次提及,故用不定冠詞修飾,又因essential的發(fā)音以元音音素開頭,故填an。
7.less 解析:考查副詞的比較級。根據(jù)下文“enhanced their mood...feeling of well-being”可知,合唱幫助人們緩解壓力,即幫助人們感受到更少的壓力,故用副詞的比較級less,修飾其后的形容詞“stressed”。
8.to 解析:考查介詞。contribute to sth.是固定搭配,意為“促成某事”,故填to。
9.participants 解析:考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。participant“參與者”為可數(shù)名詞,根據(jù)空前的“All of the”可知,此處表示復(fù)數(shù)的概念,故填participants。
10.represented 解析:考查動詞的時態(tài)。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,本句缺少謂語;根據(jù)后一句中的stood out及全文的基本時態(tài)為一般過去時可知,此處應(yīng)用一般過去時。故填represented。
