A
(2025·江蘇常州高二上期中)
Ballet originated in the Italian Renaissance(文藝復興) courts of the 15th century.In important celebrations，dancing masters taught the steps to the well-behaved noblemen and women；in the end，all people could participate in dancing.The early ballet intended to bring the nobility together to smooth out political differences and disagreements.
In the 16th century，Catherine de Medici—an Italian noblewoman，wife of King HenryⅡ of France and a great supporter of the art—began to fund ballet in the French court.A century later，King Louis ? helped to popularize the art form by coming up with basic rules and ways of practicing ballet.His goal was to agree on techniques，styles and methods so artists everywhere would approach it the same way.This unifying of the key ideas and steps was meant to take ballet to a higher level as a serious profession.
By 1661，a dance academy had opened in Paris，and in 1681 ballet moved from the courts to the stage.The French opera Le Triomphe de l’Amour combined ballet elements，creating a long-standing opera-ballet tradition in France.By the mid-1700s French ballet master Jean Georges Noverre believed that ballet could stand on its own as an art form.His notion—that ballet should contain dramatic movements that should reveal the relationships between characters—introduced the ballet d’action，a dramatic style of ballet that clearly communicates emotion and plots.
The popularity of ballet grew quickly in Russia，and，during the latter half of the 19th century Russian choreographers(編舞者) and composers took it to new heights.Marius Petipa’s The Nutcracker，The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake，by Petipa and Lev Ivanov，represent classical ballet in its grandest form.The Russian system for training ballet dancers，known as the Vaganova method，is famous for helping dancers achieve the highest technical standards.In addition，ballet became closely tied to Russian cultural identity over centuries.It survives as a source of national pride in Russia’s cultural heritage.So a large number of great dancers，choreographers and composers are from Russia.

解析　段落大意題。最后一段開頭指出芭蕾在俄羅斯發展迅速，隨后闡述了19世紀后半期俄羅斯的編舞家和作曲家對芭蕾的發展的貢獻、俄羅斯培訓芭蕾舞者的體系以幫助舞者達到最高的技術標準而聞名，且芭蕾與俄羅斯的文化認同和民族自豪感緊密相連。所以，作者在最后一段想解釋芭蕾在俄羅斯快速發展的原因。故選C。
B(此篇精讀)
(2024·廣東肇慶高二上期末)
From people’s brains，a song was just picked by scientists.In a new experiment，electrodes measured their brain activity as they listened to a song.From those measurements，a computer could then produce noises that sounded like the song the people had heard.
The 29 participants were in the hospital and had electrodes fixed in their brains.These electrodes were meant to track the source of their epilepsy，a disorder of the nervous system.For part of that time，they listened to a song—Another Brick in the Wall.But in this experiment，the researchers found an additional use for the electrodes.They used them to catch the electrical signals moving between brain cells，or neurons(神經元)．
Neurons responded to the song—especially in parts of the brain involved in processing sound.Electrodes detected neural signals associated with hearing rhythm，harmony and other aspects of music.With that information，the team built a computer model to create sounds based on brain activity.And it was able to produce noises that sounded like the original song.
“It’s a real tour de force，” says Robert Zatorre，a neuroscientist in Canada.“You’re recording the activity of neurons directly from the brain，so you get very direct information about exactly what the patterns of activity are.”
The new study also highlights which parts of the brain respond to different aspects of music.Take one known as the Superior Temporal Gyrus(STG)，an area of the brain that is in charge of sound and language.It’s found in the lower middle of each side of the brain.Activity in one part of the STG got stronger at the onset of specific sounds.Say when a guitar note played.Another area of the STG became obviously more active when it heard singing.
語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了研究人員在實驗中通過電極測量人們聽音樂時的大腦活動，并利用計算機模型成功“重現”了音樂。
5．What’s the nature of the application of detecting signals by the electrodes
A．It’s an improper practice.
B．It’s an accidental move.
C．It’s an efficient tracking method.
D．It’s an effective approach to treating epilepsy.
答案　B
解析　細節理解題。根據第二段中的“These electrodes were meant to track the source of their epilepsy...But in this experiment，the researchers found an additional use for the electrodes.They used them to catch the electrical signals”可知，在追蹤參與者癲癇的來源時他們發現了電極檢測大腦神經元信號的用途。所以，電極檢測信號的應用實際上是一個無意的舉動。故選B。
6．What was the computer model intended to do
A．Discover neural signals.
B．Watch brain activity.
C．Analyze different brain activities.
D．Translate neural signals into music.
答案　D
解析　細節理解題。根據第三段中“Electrodes detected neural signals...the team built a computer model to create sounds based on brain activity.And it was able to produce noises that sounded like the original song.”可知，計算機模型的目的是將神經信號轉換成音樂。故選D。
7．What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph
A．The brain is made up of different areas.
B．The new study proves the complexity of the brain.
C．Different brain areas pick up various aspects of music.
D．Different styles of music cause different brain activities.
答案　C
解析　推理判斷題。根據最后一段第一句“The new study also highlights which parts of the brain respond to different aspects of music.”可知，這項新研究還強調了大腦的哪些部分會對音樂的不同方面做出反應，結合后文以STG的一個部分的活動為例的闡述可推知，作者在最后一段主要想表達的是不同的大腦區域接收音樂的不同方面。故選C。
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．New Fields for Music Study
B．Reproduce Music from the Brain
C．A Real Blessing for Music Lovers
D．Create Computer Models for Brain Research
答案　B
解析　標題歸納題。通讀全文尤其根據第一段內容可知，文章主要說明了研究人員在實驗中通過電極測量人們聽音樂時的大腦活動并利用計算機模型“重現”音樂。因此B項“從大腦中復制音樂”符合文章主旨，適合作文章標題。故選B。
[詞匯積累] 1．additional adj.附加的，添加的，額外的→additionally adv.此外→addition n．加法；增加；添加物→add v．添加，增加；加；補充說 2．respond to對……作出反應/回答 3．be involved in參與 4．original adj.最初的；獨創的；原作的 n．原件，原稿→originally adv.起初，原來；獨創地→origin n．起源；出身→originate v．起源于，來自；產生，創立 5．highlight v．突出，強調；(使)醒目 n．最好的部分 [句式分析] You’re recording the activity of neurons directly from the brain，so you get very direct information about exactly what the patterns of activity are. 分析：此句為so引導的并列復合句。其中，what引導的是賓語從句。 翻譯：你直接從大腦記錄神經元的活動，所以你就能直接得到關于活動模式的準確信息。

Ballet originated in the Italian Renaissance(文藝復興) courts of the 15th century.In important celebrations，dancing masters taught the steps to the well-behaved noblemen and women；in the end，all people could participate in dancing.The early ballet intended to bring the nobility together to smooth out political differences and disagreements.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了芭蕾的起源和發展歷程，以及芭蕾在俄羅斯的特殊地位和影響。
Ⅲ.主題語篇閱讀
In the 16th century，Catherine de Medici—an Italian noblewoman，wife of King HenryⅡ of France and a great supporter of the art—began to fund ballet in the French court.A century later，King Louis ? helped to popularize the art form by coming up with basic rules and ways of practicing ballet.His goal was to agree on techniques，styles and methods so artists everywhere would approach it the same way.This unifying of the key ideas and steps was meant to take ballet to a higher level as a serious profession.
By 1661，a dance academy had opened in Paris，and in 1681 ballet moved from the courts to the stage.The French opera Le Triomphe de l’Amour combined ballet elements，creating a long-standing opera-ballet tradition in France.By the mid-1700s French ballet master Jean Georges Noverre believed that ballet could stand on its own as an art form.His notion—that ballet should contain dramatic movements that should reveal the relationships between characters—introduced the ballet d’action，a dramatic style of ballet that clearly communicates emotion and plots.
The popularity of ballet grew quickly in Russia，and，during the latter half of the 19th century Russian choreographers(編舞者) and composers took it to new heights.Marius Petipa’s The Nutcracker，The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake，by Petipa and Lev Ivanov，represent classical ballet in its grandest form.The Russian system for training ballet dancers，known as the Vaganova method，is famous for helping dancers achieve the highest technical standards.In addition，ballet became closely tied to Russian cultural identity over centuries.It survives as a source of national pride in Russia’s cultural heritage.So a large number of great dancers，choreographers and composers are from Russia.
1.What was the purpose of the early ballet
A.To entertain the nobility.
B.To celebrate important events.
C.To make young people behave well.
D.To achieve unity among the upper class.
細節理解題。根據第一段中的“The early ballet intended to bring the nobility together to smooth out political differences and disagreements.”可知，早期芭蕾旨在將貴族聚集在一起消除政治分歧和矛盾，即其目的是實現上層社會的團結。故選D。

細節理解題。根據第二段中的“A century later，King Louis ? helped to popularize the art form by coming up with basic rules and ways of practicing ballet.”可知，路易十四通過制定芭蕾的基本規則和練習方法，幫助這種藝術形式普及開來，由此可知，路易十四為芭蕾設定了基本標準。故選B。
解析
√
3.What was Jean Georges Noverre’s notion
A.Ballet should be more formal.
B.Ballet should be more traditional.
C.Ballet should be more expressive.
D.Ballet should be more complicated.

B(此篇精讀)
(2024·廣東肇慶高二上期末)
From people’s brains，a song was just picked by scientists.In a new experiment，electrodes measured their brain activity as they listened to a song.From those measurements，a computer could then produce noises that sounded like the song the people had heard.
語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了研究人員在實驗中通過電極測量人們聽音樂時的大腦活動，并利用計算機模型成功“重現”了音樂。
The 29 participants were in the hospital and had electrodes fixed in their brains.These electrodes were meant to track the source of their epilepsy，a disorder of the nervous system.For part of that time，they listened to a song—Another Brick in the Wall.But in this experiment，the researchers found an additional use for the electrodes.They used them to catch the electrical signals moving between brain cells，or neurons(神經元).
Neurons responded to the song—especially in parts of the brain involved in processing sound.Electrodes detected neural signals associated with hearing rhythm，harmony and other aspects of music.With that information，the team built a computer model to create sounds based on brain activity.And it was able to produce noises that sounded like the original song.
“It’s a real tour de force，” says Robert Zatorre，a neuroscientist in Canada.“You’re recording the activity of neurons directly from the brain，so you get very direct information about exactly what the patterns of activity are.”
The new study also highlights which parts of the brain respond to different aspects of music.Take one known as the Superior Temporal Gyrus(STG)，an area of the brain that is in charge of sound and language.It’s found in the lower middle of each side of the brain.Activity in one part of the STG got stronger at the onset of specific sounds.Say when a guitar note played.Another area of the STG became obviously more active when it heard singing.
5.What’s the nature of the application of detecting signals by the electrodes
A.It’s an improper practice.
B.It’s an accidental move.
C.It’s an efficient tracking method.
D.It’s an effective approach to treating epilepsy.
√
細節理解題。根據第二段中的“These electrodes were meant to track the source of their epilepsy...But in this experiment，the researchers found an additional use for the electrodes.They used them to catch the electrical signals”可知，在追蹤參與者癲癇的來源時他們發現了電極檢測大腦神經元信號的用途。所以，電極檢測信號的應用實際上是一個無意的舉動。故選B。
解析
6.What was the computer model intended to do
A.Discover neural signals.
B.Watch brain activity.
C.Analyze different brain activities.
D.Translate neural signals into music.
√
細節理解題。根據第三段中“Electrodes detected neural signals...the team built a computer model to create sounds based on brain activity.And it was able to produce noises that sounded like the original song.”可知，計算機模型的目的是將神經信號轉換成音樂。故選D。
解析
7.What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph
A.The brain is made up of different areas.
B.The new study proves the complexity of the brain.
C.Different brain areas pick up various aspects of music.
D.Different styles of music cause different brain activities.
推理判斷題。根據最后一段第一句“The new study also highlights which parts of the brain respond to different aspects of music.”可知，這項新研究還強調了大腦的哪些部分會對音樂的不同方面做出反應，結合后文以STG的一個部分的活動為例的闡述可推知，作者在最后一段主要想表達的是不同的大腦區域接收音樂的不同方面。故選C。
解析
√
8.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.New Fields for Music Study
B.Reproduce Music from the Brain
C.A Real Blessing for Music Lovers
D.Create Computer Models for Brain Research
√
標題歸納題。通讀全文尤其根據第一段內容可知，文章主要說明了研究人員在實驗中通過電極測量人們聽音樂時的大腦活動并利用計算機模型“重現”音樂。因此B項“從大腦中復制音樂”符合文章主旨，適合作文章標題。故選B。
解析
1.additional adj.附加的，添加的，額外的→additionally adv.此外→addition n.加法；增加；添加物→add v.添加，增加；加；補充說
2.respond to對……作出反應/回答
3.be involved in參與
