Step 3　剖析——長句難句
1．Last night，I watched a performance of Butterfly Lovers，a beautiful violin concerto composed by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang.(P16，Para.1)
[結構分析] 此句是簡單句。句中a beautiful violin concerto...作Butterfly Lovers的同位語；composed by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang為過去分詞短語作后置定語，修飾a beautiful violin concerto。
[漢語翻譯] 昨晚，我觀看了一場《梁祝》的演出，這是由何占豪、陳鋼創作的一部動聽的小提琴協奏曲。
2．Then the music gets dramatic with heavier notes and that is when the lovers are separated because Zhu’s father forces her to marry another man.(P16，Para.2)
[結構分析] 此句是復合句。句中and連接的第二個分句中when引導表語從句；because引導原因狀語從句。
[漢語翻譯] 接下來，曲調突然變得沉重，此時這對情侶被拆散，因為祝英臺的父親逼她另嫁他人。
3．Finally，during the most exciting part，the music takes a softer turn and ends on a bittersweet note，telling us how the couple transform into butterflies and fly away to be together forever.(P16，Para.2)
[結構分析] 此句是復合句。句中telling us...為現在分詞短語作伴隨狀語，其中包含how引導的賓語從句。
[漢語翻譯] 最后，在最激昂的部分，樂曲轉而柔緩，以凄美的曲調收尾，它告訴我們，這對情侶化蝶而去，永世不再分離。
4．Life here in Nashville is as interesting as I thought it would be.(P17，Para.1)
[結構分析] 此句是復合句。句中as...as...引導比較狀語從句，意為“和……一樣……”。
[漢語翻譯] 在納什維爾的生活和我之前料想得一樣有趣。
5．It turns out that country music became popular right here in the south of America in the 1940s and then spread across the nation.(P17，Para.2)
[結構分析] 此句是復合句。it為形式主語，that引導的從句作真正的主語。
[漢語翻譯] 原來，鄉村音樂于20世紀40年代在美國南部流行起來，隨后傳遍整個美國。
6．Obviously I don’t know what it’s truly like to grow up in rural America，but the masters of country music，like John Denver，can make you feel like you’re there.(P17，Para.3)
[結構分析] 此句是并列復合句。句中but連接兩個并列的分句，第一個分句中what引導賓語從句；第二個分句中feel之后的like引導表語從句。
[漢語翻譯] 我顯然不知道在美國鄉村長大究竟是什么樣子，但是鄉村音樂的大師們，比如約翰·丹佛，能讓你覺得身臨其境。
The first email is written by Alice to Lucy，which introduces Butterfly Lovers，a beautiful violin concerto 1.composed(compose) by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang.In the classic story，the two lovers，Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai,2.are_torn(tear) apart by their families.What impresses us most is that when Liang falls sick and dies，Zhu jumps into his grave without hesitation.3.Finally(final)，the couple transform 4.into butterflies and fly away to be together forever.Butterfly Lovers combines Chinese and Western musical elements perfectly,5.showing(show) that music is indeed a universal language.
The second email is written by Harry to Stephen.It’s about country music，which became popular in the south of America in 6.the 1940s and then spread across the nation.7.It is because it originated from blues and folk music that many similar instruments，such as the guitar，are used.Most of the songs are about 8.hardship(hard) and heartbreak，but also about hope.Country music shows the 9.peaceful(peace) green fields and simple life of the countryside,10.whose simple tunes and beautiful natural images can make you feel like you’re there.

A
“Music will forever be humanity’s most effective and consistent source of inspiration and motivation，and，we have learned，music turns out to be our most solid common ground for establishing communication between teachers and students which is where education begins.”
—Stevie Van Zandt
The legendary guitarist Stevie Van Zandt has called on England’s schools to use music to attract young people.He founded TeachRock，an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum(課程)．
Van Zandt launched TeachRock as a way of keeping arts in the DNA of the public education system of the US after the introduction of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001，with its stress on annual testing，academic progress and report cards.Now it is being adopted in schools in England in the Beckmead，which provides education for children and young people with complex needs.Van Zandt was visiting to see his programme in action.
Many of the students at Beckmead are among the most disadvantaged in the country.Some have already been in youth offender institutions(少管所)．While providing them with excellent education and care，it is also critical to attract them to attend.TeachRock has proved hugely successful.Additionally，research has shown that music plays a key role in supporting brain development，language，motor skills，social cooperation skills and emotional intelligence.
Van Zandt watched interestedly as 17-year-old Kerniel performed a song he had written，and applauded enthusiastically after a performance by a group of students playing guitars given by a charity.Some of them had not held a guitar until a few weeks ago.“It’s amazing！” said Van Zandt.“A lot of kids are just not comfortable with the accuracy of basic science or maths.They don’t see the reason for it.They don’t understand it.” Van Zandt believes in “meeting children on their own turf”，rather than conducting a one-size-fits-all curriculum.Kids come to school with gifts intact(完好的)：imagination，curiosity，instinct，taste，opinions—and the traditional education is to have them leave those things outside the classroom.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇新聞報道。文章主要講述了音樂項目TeachRock是如何幫助英國學校吸引學生并支持他們全面發展的。
1．What can we learn about TeachRock
A．It is an online platform for self-learning.
B．It is only targeted at problem children.
C．It uses music to inspire children to learn.
D．It keeps music in slower students’ DNA.
答案　C
解析　細節理解題。根據第二段中“He founded TeachRock，an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum(課程)．”可知，TeachRock是一個用音樂來激勵孩子們學習的在線項目。故選C。
2．What might Van Zandt agree with according to the text
A．Music should have a place in education.
B．Music keeps children from breaking the law.
C．Music outweighs science in school curriculum.
D．All children can learn to play the guitar quickly.
答案　A
解析　推理判斷題。根據第一段內容可知，Van Zandt認為音樂對人類及教育有重要意義。再由第三段中“Van Zandt launched TeachRock as a way of keeping arts in the DNA of the public education system of the US...”可知，Van Zandt推出TeachRock是為了保持藝術在美國公共教育系統中的地位。由此可推知，Van Zandt可能同意“音樂在教育中應該有一席之地”。故選A。
3．What does the underlined part “meeting children on their own turf” in the last paragraph mean
A．All students should be taught in the same way.
B．Education should be tailored to students’ needs.
C．Students should attend lessons at their own home.
D．Science and maths should be removed from curriculum.
答案　B
解析　詞義猜測題。根據最后一段中畫線部分后的“rather than conducting a one-size-fits-all curriculum”可知，Van Zandt認為學校不應該實行一刀切的課程，可推知畫線部分的意思與“一刀切課程”相反，應為“教育應該滿足學生自己的需求”。故選B。
4．Which newspaper column may the text appear in
A．Education. B．Culture.
C．Science. D．Music.
答案　A
解析　文章出處題。通讀全文，尤其是根據第三段內容可知，文章主要講述了Stevie Van Zandt通過TeachRock項目利用音樂來幫助學生學習課程，并強調了音樂在教育中的重要性。由此可推知，這篇文章可能會出現在報紙的“教育”專欄。故選A。
B(此篇精讀)
When the famous woman singer in Britain released her 2011 single Someone Like You，this bittersweet song was popular with millions worldwide.More than a decade later，it remains one of her most popular songs.Her artistry，as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats，has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.
Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain，according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research.And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.
“It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache，but music can help reduce your pain，” said Patrick Stroman，a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston，Ontario.He didn’t join in the study.“Unlike other medications，” he noted，“there is no side effect or risk in listening to music(just keep the volume at a reasonable level)．”
The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs.The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants.All the while，the researchers stuck a hot object—similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin—to their left inner forearms.When rating their experiences，people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.
With millions of songs available，one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another.After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain，the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.
“It’s a very cool result，” said lead study author Darius Valevicius，a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal.“I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.”
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一項研究發現——某些類型的音樂能夠幫助你減輕痛苦。
5．Why does the author mention the famous singer in the first paragraph
A．To reach a conclusion.
B．To lead in the topic.
C．To offer a suggestion.
D．To provide the background.
答案　B
解析　推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“Her artistry...has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.”可推斷，作者在第一段提到著名的歌手是為了通過她的藝術技巧可以減輕痛苦這一點來引出文章主題：關于音樂的減輕痛苦的作用的研究。故選B。
6．What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music
A．Doubtful. B．Positive.
C．Unclear. D．Unconcerned.
答案　B
解析　觀點態度題。根據第三段“‘It doesn’t take the place of medicine...but music can help reduce your pain，’．..he noted，‘there is no side effect or risk in listening to music(just keep the volume at a reasonable level)．’”可知，Stroman對于聽音樂的減輕痛苦的作用持肯定的態度。故選B。
7．What did the participants do in the new study
A．They reported their feelings of pain.
B．They interviewed many musicians.
C．They made various kinds of teacups.
D．They picked out the music they don’t like.
答案　A
解析　細節理解題。根據第四段中的“When rating their experiences，people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.”可知，研究的參與者在實驗中報告他們的痛苦的感受。故選A。
8．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music
B．How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly
C．The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music
D．Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain
答案　D
解析　標題歸納題。通讀全文，尤其根據第二段“Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain...And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.”可知，本文主要介紹了某些類型的音樂能夠幫助人們減輕痛苦。故選D。
[詞匯積累] 1．bittersweet(合)＝bitter＋sweet adj.又苦又甜的；苦樂參半的 2．heartbreak(合)＝heart＋break n．心碎；極度傷心 heartbroken adj.極為悲傷的，心碎的 3．detail 熟義：n.細節；枝節；詳情　生義(文義)：v.詳述 4．note(轉)n.→vt.指出(It’s noted that...有人指出……) 5．rate n．速度，進度；比率v.評估，評價；(文義)劃分等級 6．available adj.可用的，可獲得的；有空的 [句式分析] Her artistry，as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats，has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss. 分析：此句為復合句。as well as 在本句中表示“和”，連接Her artistry和that of...，句子的謂語動詞的人稱和數與前面的主語保持一致；that是替代詞，代替前文的artistry；who引導定語從句，修飾先行詞others。 翻譯：她的藝術技巧，以及其他許多已經掌握了用緩慢而感人的節奏讓聽眾感動的藝術的人的藝術技巧，有一種應對心碎和失去的情感痛苦的方法。
Ⅳ.七選五閱讀(共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)
Have you ever tried reading music If so，you probably noticed a lot of new symbols and words.Maybe you saw the word presto at the beginning.Perhaps you read piano and crescendo throughout the song. 1 Or maybe you didn’t—if you knew how to read Italian!
Italian is sometimes called the language that sings. 2 However，the link between Italian and music is deeper than that.Today，musical vocabulary is full of Italian words.
However，it wasn’t always so.Thousands of years ago，people didn’t write music.Instead，they passed songs down orally and taught each other to play them on instruments. 3 Later，people in Spain and Italy began putting music to paper for use in choirs.
Around 1000 CE，an Italian man named Guido d’Arezzo came up with the four-lined staff(四線譜)，which eventually led to the development of the five-lined staff still used in modern music today.Over the next few centuries，many of the people writing music were Italian.Of course，people in other parts of the world were writing music，too.In an effort to standardize written music，many of them used Italian terms. 4 For example，Beethoven sometimes used German words instead of Italian.Claude Debussy used French in “Clair de Lune”．
5 You might already be familiar with some terms! One example is tempo—the speed of a piece of music.Markings in written music tell the player when the music should be adagio(slow)，or allegro(fast)．The dynamics，or volume，of a piece of music might begin with piano(soft)，then crescendo(get louder) and finally fortissimo(very loud)．
A．Many think it sounds musical.
B．Others wrote music in their own languages.
C．Still，Italian is the primary language used in music.
D．You probably needed to ask your teacher what these words meant.
E．Learning to read music is an important part of practicing those skills.
F．People who write music even have ways to communicate techniques.
G．Ancient people in Babylonia，Greece，and Rome were some of the earliest to write music.
1．答案　D
解析　根據空前后文可知，本空應該與上文所提到的陌生詞匯的含義有關，故D項“你或許需要去問你的老師這些詞是什么意思”符合語境。下文的“Or maybe you didn’t”指D項中的“needed to ask your teacher what these words meant”。故選D。
2．答案　A
解析　根據空前后文可知，本空應該與意大利語和音樂之間淺層的關系有關，故A項“許多人認為意大利語聽起來像音樂”符合語境。A項中的it 指代上文中的Italian，且musical與下文中的music是同根詞復現。故選A。
3．答案　G
解析　根據空前后文可知，本空應該與什么人開始寫樂譜有關，且與下文內容之間是順承關系，故G項“古巴比倫尼亞、古希臘和古羅馬的人是最早寫樂譜的人”符合語境。G項中的the earliest 呼應下文中的Later，且write music呼應下文中的putting music to paper。故選G。
4．答案　B
解析　根據空前后文可知，除了意大利語，也有人用其他語言寫樂譜，故B項“其他人用自己的語言寫音樂”符合語境，與下文的例子相呼應。故選B。
5．答案　C
解析　根據下文中的“You might already be familiar with some terms！”和列舉的一些意大利語的音樂術語可知，本段具體介紹一些意大利語的音樂術語的含義，且本空應為本段主旨句，故C項符合語境，并呼應首段內容。故選C。
Ⅴ.語法填空(共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分)
In the last few months，several music pieces themed around Journey to the West 1.________ (go) viral on social media platforms，both in China and abroad.

(reflect) of modern Chinese civilization.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文，主要講述了近期以《西游記》為主題的幾首音樂作品在國內外社交媒體平臺上走紅的現象，并探討了中國傳統音樂通過數字化手段在全球范圍內獲得關注的原因。
1．答案　have gone
解析　考查時態和主謂一致。根據時間狀語In the last few months可以判斷應該用現在完成時，主語是復數名詞several music pieces，助動詞用have。故填have gone。
2．答案　which
解析　考查定語從句。空處引導一個非限制性定語從句，并且在從句中作主語，指代前面整個句子的內容。故填which。
3．答案　to
解析　考查介詞。appeal to“吸引”為固定短語，符合句意。故填to。
4．答案　presented
解析　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，此處為非謂語動詞，所給詞“present”作定語修飾名詞music，二者構成被動關系，應用present的過去分詞表被動。故填presented。
5．答案　global
解析　考查形容詞。修飾名詞stage應用形容詞作定語。故填global。
6．答案　is
解析　考查時態與主謂一致。分析句子結構可知，句子主語是單數名詞The reason，本空是主句謂語，且根據表語從句的謂語動詞create判斷主句應該用一般現在時。故填is。
7．答案　to create
解析　考查非謂語動詞。空前used是過去分詞作定語，而此處應用create的不定式形式表目的。故填to create。
8．答案　apparently
解析　考查副詞。修飾動詞provide，應用副詞作狀語。故填apparently。
9．答案　a
解析　考查冠詞。分析句意可知，本空應填入不定冠詞構成短語play a role in，意為“在……中起作用”，且空后crucial發音以輔音音素開頭。故填a。
10．答案　reflection
解析　考查名詞。根據前面的“a true”判斷本空應填入名詞單數。故填reflection。(共67張PPT)

“Music will forever be humanity’s most effective and consistent source of inspiration and motivation，and，we have learned，music turns out to be our most solid common ground for establishing communication between teachers and students which is where education begins.”
—Stevie Van Zandt
語篇解讀　本文是一篇新聞報道。文章主要講述了音樂項目TeachRock是如何幫助英國學校吸引學生并支持他們全面發展的。
Ⅲ.主題語篇閱讀
The legendary guitarist Stevie Van Zandt has called on England’s schools to use music to attract young people.He founded TeachRock，an online programme that uses music to help students access the curriculum(課程).
Van Zandt launched TeachRock as a way of keeping arts in the DNA of the public education system of the US after the introduction of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001，with its stress on annual testing，academic progress and report cards.Now it is being adopted in schools in England in the Beckmead，which provides education for children and young people with complex needs.Van Zandt was visiting to see his programme in action.
Many of the students at Beckmead are among the most disadvantaged in the country.Some have already been in youth offender institutions(少管所).While providing them with excellent education and care，it is also critical to attract them to attend.TeachRock has proved hugely successful.Additionally，research has shown that music plays a key role in supporting brain development，language，motor skills，social cooperation skills and emotional intelligence.
Van Zandt watched interestedly as 17-year-old Kerniel performed a song he had written，and applauded enthusiastically after a performance by a group of students playing guitars given by a charity.Some of them had not held a guitar until a few weeks ago.“It’s amazing！” said Van Zandt.“A lot of kids are just not comfortable with the accuracy of basic science or maths.They don’t see the reason for it.They don’t understand it.” Van Zandt believes in “meeting children on their own turf”，rather than conducting a one-size-fits-all curriculum.Kids come to school with gifts intact(完好的)：imagination，curiosity，instinct，taste，opinions—and the traditional education is to have them leave those things outside the classroom.
1.What can we learn about TeachRock
A.It is an online platform for self-learning.
B.It is only targeted at problem children.
C.It uses music to inspire children to learn.
D.It keeps music in slower students’ DNA.

詞義猜測題。根據最后一段中畫線部分后的“rather than conducting a one-size-fits-all curriculum”可知，Van Zandt認為學校不應該實行一刀切的課程，可推知畫線部分的意思與“一刀切課程”相反，應為“教育應該滿足學生自己的需求”。故選B。

B(此篇精讀)
When the famous woman singer in Britain released her 2011 single Someone Like You，this bittersweet song was popular with millions worldwide.More than a decade later，it remains one of her most popular songs.Her artistry，as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats，has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一項研究發現——某些類型的音樂能夠幫助你減輕痛苦。
Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain，according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research.And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.
“It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache，but music can help reduce your pain，” said Patrick Stroman，a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston，Ontario.He didn’t join in the study.“Unlike other medications，” he noted，“there is no side effect or risk in listening to music(just keep the volume at a reasonable level).”
The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs.The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants.All the while，the researchers stuck a hot object—similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin—to their left inner forearms.When rating their experiences，people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.
With millions of songs available，one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another.After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain，the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.
“It’s a very cool result，” said lead study author Darius Valevicius，a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal.“I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.”
5.Why does the author mention the famous singer in the first paragraph
A.To reach a conclusion.
B.To lead in the topic.
C.To offer a suggestion.
D.To provide the background.
推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“Her artistry...has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.”可推斷，作者在第一段提到著名的歌手是為了通過她的藝術技巧可以減輕痛苦這一點來引出文章主題：關于音樂的減輕痛苦的作用的研究。故選B。

Her artistry，as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats，has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.
