课下作业(二) 话题阅读培优练
Ⅰ.根据提示填空
What are the two things that make humans different from animals? One is the language and the other is ❶music (音乐). It is true that some animals can sing.
However, the ❷songs (歌曲) of animals like birds are very limited. It is also true that humans, not animals, have developed musical ❸instruments (乐器).
Music is a strange thing. It's clearly ❹different (differ) from the language. However, people can use music to communicate — especially to ❺express_their_emotions (表达他们的情感). When music ❻is_combined_with_ (与……相结合) speech in a song, it's a very powerful form of ❼communication (communicate).
If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and languages in disparate (完全不同的) parts of the brain. The ❽scientific (science) study suggests this is true. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russian ❾composer (作曲家), had a stroke (中风) in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech. He could, however, still 10○compose_music (创作音乐) until his death ten years later. On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech.
Ⅱ.片段选词填空
poetry, mark, spiritual freedom, romantic, be regarded as, genuine, beauty, love of nature, representitive, serve the country
Li Bai ❶is_regarded_as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and a ❷representative of the High Tang Culture, combination of realistic Northern
culture represented by Confucian (儒家的) philosophy and ❸romantic Southern culture represented by Taoist philosophy.But he could neither realize his Confucian ideal to ❹serve_the_country nor find ❺spiritual_freedom in Taoism, so he could only chant poetry and drink wine to drown his sorrow as described by Du Fu in Eight Immortal Drinkers.Here we see the tragedy (悲剧) of a ❻genuine staying lonely on earth like an angel fallen from Heaven.
His poetry is ❼marked by male greatness in the Waterfall in Mount Lu
Viewed from Afar, in which we see the mountain cloud from down below and the
Silver River, Chinese name for the Milky Way, fall from on high, and heaven and earth seem to merge into one, that is the Chinese way of communion with nature.In his ❽poetry we can find his ❾love_of_nature,_of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of truth, good and 10○beauty. 课下作业(三) 高考语篇提能练

B
At first sight, Alma Deutscher, a thirteenyearold girl from England appears to
be like any other typical preteen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first fulllength opera based on
Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her
extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music world.
Alma's operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad — but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”
The opera was first performed in Vienna, Austria on December 29, 2016, where the then elevenyearold skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.
While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on.”
Alma's musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18monthold toddler, she was able to hum a perfect
version of the children's rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
However, Alma's abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.
Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the thirteenyearold is changing the world of music forever!
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。13岁的Alma有音乐天赋,18个月时就能哼唱《一闪一闪小星星》,6岁时创作了她的第一部音乐作品,7岁时创作了第一部短歌剧,被人们誉为“小莫扎特”。
4. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?
A.She comes from a famous musical family.
B.She showed a great musical talent from a young age.
C.She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.
D.She has adapted some famous works of classical music.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句“But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first fulllength opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average”可知,Alma Deutscher自小便显示出了惊人的音乐天赋,故B项正确。
5.How did Alma get to be widely known?
A.Through an online video.
B.By performing on television.
C.By putting on an opera.
D.Through her parents' promotion.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第六段的第一句“However, Alma's abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart”可知,2012年Alma家的一位朋友在网上发布了一个视频,将Alma比作莫扎特;此后她的能力受到了国际关注,故A项正确。
6.What is Alma's attitude towards her success?
A.She is still unsatisfied with her performance.
B.She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.
C.She is modest about her musical achievements.
D.She is proud to have become a professional musician.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句“Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying‘There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.’”可知,在人们将她比作莫扎特时,Alma不愿和这位著名的音乐家相提并论,她认为世界上只有一个莫扎特,而她更喜欢人们叫她“小Alma”;据此可以判断,面对人们的赞誉和自己的成功,Alma很谦虚,故C项正确。
7.What can we infer about Alma's parents?
A.They are very welleducated people.
B.They are protective of their daughter.
C.They have pushed Alma to take up music.
D.They have made a good life plan for Alma.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“The family was suddenly swamped with media and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed ‘little Mozart’. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called ‘a composer and
musician’”可知,Alma成了一夜成名的“小莫扎特”,但这个绰号让她的父母不高兴,因为他们认为这会给这个小女孩带来额外的压力,他们宁愿她被称为“作曲家和音乐家”。据此可以判断,Alma的父母是爱护她的,故B项正确。

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了美国越来越多的人加入读书俱乐部以及读书俱乐部的运作方式、命名方式等。
1.publishers 考查名词。此处与and后面的bookstores一起构成并列主语,publisher为可数名词,且其前无限定词修饰,故填publishers。
2.them 考查代词。join表示“成为……的一员,加入”,是及物动词,后面应跟宾语,故填they的宾格形式them。
3.who/that 考查定语从句。先行词是people,空处在从句中作主语,故填who/that。
4.the 考查冠词。on the Internet“在网上”,为固定搭配。
5.to discuss 考查非谓语动词。他们发送电子邮件而不是聚集起来讨论他们读过的书。此处动词不定式作目的状语。
6.various 考查形容词。大部分读书俱乐部研究不同作家的书。空后的writers为名词,应该用形容词来修饰,variety的形容词形式为various,故填various。
7.usually 考查副词。空后的“one that has been famous for a while”是空前writer的同位语。usually起强调作用,修饰代词one。
8.be named 考查被动语态。此处name是动词,意为“命名”,在句中作谓语,与主语“Other groups”之间为被动关系,且空前有情态动词,故填be named。
9.like 考查介词。其他的俱乐部可能以一个作家的作品里的一个重要人物而命名,比如夏洛克·福尔摩斯俱乐部。空后为举例子,故填like“像,例如”。
10.chosen 考查非谓语动词。这些读书俱乐部的成员通常是他们选中的阅读材料方面的专家。提示词choose是动词,与其所修饰的名词短语“reading materials”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用choose的过去分词作定语,故填chosen。
Ⅳ.短文改错

Many smiles, free hugs, and photos brought a city of stranger together. We shared a moment of cosplay and happy. I even danced with the crowd. Certain, it was an interesting experience!
