A
A group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team to perform at their kids’ school but unexpectedly gained popularity on social media，having over 300,000 followers—one of them is famous actor Hugh Jackman.The “Outta” Puff Daddys first came together in 2012 in Brighton for a surprise performance at their children’s annual dance show.
Having never danced as a job before and ranging in age from 42 to 60，the dads were taught by their kids’ street dance teacher for the surprise performance.They received a good reception，so they decided to carry on permanently.
Paul Jukes,48，said dancing together has enabled the members to get through unemployment and anxiety.“Even though I’m the leader and artistic director of the team，I’m not normally the most confident guy，” said Jukes，whose team name is Jukebox.“If we’re in a party situation，we’re off at the side，but when we’re together，those inhibitions(拘束感) are lost，and we just accept life to the fullest.”
The dance team members remember the moment when they surprised their kids at the dance show.“We performed at the Brighton Dome which seats 2,000 people，so for our first live dance performance，it was quite something.We took the roof off，” Jukes said.“The noise was crazy and of course，the kids in the audience were blown away.They were shouting，‘Hang on a second; that’s your dad.’ Most people might think our kids would be embarrassed by us but none of them had that feeling.All our families and kids were really supportive and really loved it.And it has been considered cool by them to have such a large following on social media platforms.” The team has to adapt to its members’ changing bodies as they get older，but that has not stopped them from continuing to dream big，which sets a good example to their kids.

(2025·四川涼山高一上期末)
A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter.
For a while，there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart，or to other classical music.Inspired，some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence.But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.
But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer.Some of their studies concluded that it does，and some found that it doesn’t.For example，one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills，while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.
The researchers of the new study，Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics)，looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies，and after carefully comparing the data from different papers，they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measured their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.
If music doesn’t make you smarter，how does that explain other researches that show that music lessons help students’ school performance It seems like there is something about music lessons that make students able to perform better in their other classes.That doesn’t have to be intelligence，and it’s likely not.Music lessons could have helped in different ways: they could have led to a change in homework habits，they could have increased confidence，or they could have improved social skills.And finally，they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes.So feel free to keep making music，and keep encouraging children to learn music.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一項新的研究結果，即學習音樂并不會讓人變得更聰明，但音樂課仍然可能對學生的非音樂學科表現有益。
5．What does the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Improve. B．Reduce.
C．Need. D．Influence.
答案　A
解析　詞義猜測題。根據上文“For a while，there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart，or to other classical music.”可知，受到這個觀點的啟發，一些父母為他們的孩子購買古典CD，希望這能提高他們的智力。由此可知，boost意為“提高”。故選A。
6．What does the example in paragraph 3 prove
A．Listening to music benefits kids a lot.
B．Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown.
C．Listening to music fails to help kids in language learning.
D．Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is not certain.
答案　D
解析　推理判斷題。根據第三段中“But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer.Some of their studies concluded that it does，and some found that it doesn’t.”可知，第三段中的例子是為了證明上音樂課是否能讓孩子更聰明還不確定。故選D。
7．How did the researchers do the new study
A．They did 54 small studies in all.
B．They examined plenty of previous research.
C．They observed children in music classes.
D．They did an online survey of musical students.
答案　B
解析　細節理解題。根據第四段中“The researchers of the new study...looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies，and after carefully comparing the data from different papers...”可知，研究人員是通過審查了大量先前的研究來進行這項新研究的。故選B。
8．What result can we know from the last paragraph
A．A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort.
B．Intelligence determines one’s school performance.
C．Music lessons should be encouraged for children.
D．Students should avoid listening to music while studying.
答案　C
解析　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中“And finally，they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes.So feel free to keep making music，and keep encouraging children to learn music.”可知，從最后一段我們可以知道應該鼓勵孩子們上音樂課。故選C。
[詞匯積累]
1．paper n．熟義：紙；報紙 生義(文義)：論文
2．be combined with與……相結合
3．feel free to do sth隨意做某事
[句式分析]
1．For a while，there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart，or to other classical music.
分析：此句為復合句。found on the Internet and in various magazines為過去分詞短語作后置定語；第一個that引導定語從句，先行詞為an idea，that在從句中充當主語；第二個that引導賓語從句；if引導條件狀語從句。
翻譯：有一段時間，在互聯網和各種雜志上發現了一種觀點，認為如果嬰兒聽莫扎特或其他古典音樂，他們會變得更聰明。
2．It seems like there is something about music lessons that make students able to perform better in their other classes.
分析：此句為復合句。it作形式主語，there is...為省略了that的主語從句；that引導定語從句，先行詞為music lessons，that在從句中充當主語。
翻譯：音樂課似乎能讓學生在其他課上表現得更好。

A
A group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team to perform at their kids’ school but unexpectedly gained popularity on social media，having over 300,000 followers—one of them is famous actor Hugh Jackman.The “Outta” Puff Daddys first came together in 2012 in Brighton for a surprise performance at their children’s annual dance show.
語篇解讀　這是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了一群中年爸爸組織了一個舞蹈隊并走紅的故事。
Ⅲ.主題語篇閱讀
Having never danced as a job before and ranging in age from 42 to 60，the dads were taught by their kids’ street dance teacher for the surprise performance.They received a good reception，so they decided to carry on permanently.
Paul Jukes,48，said dancing together has enabled the members to get through unemployment and anxiety.“Even though I’m the leader and artistic director of the team，I’m not normally the most confident guy，” said Jukes，whose team name is Jukebox.“If we’re in a party situation，we’re off at the side，but when we’re together，those inhibitions(拘束感) are lost，and we just accept life to the fullest.”
The dance team members remember the moment when they surprised their kids at the dance show.“We performed at the Brighton Dome which seats 2,000 people，so for our first live dance performance，it was quite something.We took the roof off，” Jukes said.“The noise was crazy and of course，the kids in the audience were blown away.They were shouting，‘Hang on a second; that’s your dad.’ Most people might think our kids would be embarrassed by us but none of them had that feeling.All our families and kids were really supportive and really loved it.And it has been considered cool by them to have such a large following on social media platforms.” The team has to adapt to its members’ changing bodies as they get older，but that has not stopped them from continuing to dream big，which sets a good example to their kids.
1.What’s special about the dance team
A.It helps with school dance instructions.
B.Its members are all inexperienced.
C.It regularly posts videos on social media.
D.Its members are guided by famous dancers.

解析
√
3.How did the kids react to their dads’ dance performance
A.They were amazed and proud of their dads.
B.They were embarrassed but showed understanding.
C.They considered following Jukebox on social media.
D.They joined their dads to complete the performance together.

B(此篇精讀)
(2025·四川涼山高一上期末)
A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一項新的研究結果，即學習音樂并不會讓人變得更聰明，但音樂課仍然可能對學生的非音樂學科表現有益。
For a while，there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart，or to other classical music.Inspired，some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence.But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.
But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer.Some of their studies concluded that it does，and some found that it doesn’t.For example，one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills，while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.
The researchers of the new study，Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics)，looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies，and after carefully comparing the data from different papers，they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measured their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.
If music doesn’t make you smarter，how does that explain other researches that show that music lessons help students’ school performance It seems like there is something about music lessons that make students able to perform better in their other classes.That doesn’t have to be intelligence，and it’s likely not.Music lessons could have helped in different ways: they could have led to a change in homework habits，they could have increased confidence，or they could have improved social skills.And finally，they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes.So feel free to keep making music，and keep encouraging children to learn music.
5.What does the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Improve. B.Reduce.
C.Need. D.Influence.
詞義猜測題。根據上文“For a while，there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart，or to other classical music.”可知，受到這個觀點的啟發，一些父母為他們的孩子購買古典CD，希望這能提高他們的智力。由此可知，boost意為“提高”。故選A。
解析
√
6.What does the example in paragraph 3 prove
A.Listening to music benefits kids a lot.
B.Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown.
C.Listening to music fails to help kids in language learning.
D.Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is not certain.
√
推理判斷題。根據第三段中“But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer.Some of their studies concluded that it does，and some found that it doesn’t.”可知，第三段中的例子是為了證明上音樂課是否能讓孩子更聰明還不確定。故選D。
解析
7.How did the researchers do the new study
A.They did 54 small studies in all.
B.They examined plenty of previous research.
C.They observed children in music classes.
D.They did an online survey of musical students.
細節理解題。根據第四段中“The researchers of the new study...looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies，and after carefully comparing the data from different papers...”可知，研究人員是通過審查了大量先前的研究來進行這項新研究的。故選B。
解析
√
8.What result can we know from the last paragraph
A.A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort.
B.Intelligence determines one’s school performance.
C.Music lessons should be encouraged for children.
D.Students should avoid listening to music while studying.
推理判斷題。根據最后一段中“And finally，they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes.So feel free to keep making music，and keep encouraging children to learn music.”可知，從最后一段我們可以知道應該鼓勵孩子們上音樂課。故選C。
解析
√
1.paper n.熟義：紙；報紙 生義(文義)：論文
2.be combined with與……相結合
3.feel free to do sth隨意做某事
詞匯積累
1.For a while，there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart，or to other classical music.
分析：此句為復合句。found on the Internet and in various magazines為過去分詞短語作后置定語；第一個that引導定語從句，先行詞為an idea，that在從句中充當主語；第二個that引導賓語從句；if引導條件狀語從句。
翻譯：有一段時間，在互聯網和各種雜志上發現了一種觀點，認為如果嬰兒聽莫扎特或其他古典音樂，他們會變得更聰明。
句式分析
2.It seems like there is something about music lessons that make students able to perform better in their other classes.
分析：此句為復合句。it作形式主語，there is...為省略了that的主語從句；that引導定語從句，先行詞為music lessons，that在從句中充當主語。
翻譯：音樂課似乎能讓學生在其他課上表現得更好。

With annoying delays(延誤) during holiday travel at one of the busiest airports in the world，one might expect only angry people to make the news.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了航班延誤時，乘客們因一位音樂老師的即興演奏而心情轉好的故事。
Ⅳ.完形填空
But on flight 1238，stuck in Atlanta，some unexpected holiday cheer 1 —and everyone joined in for the sing-along.
1.A.died down B.carried on
C.broke out D.came back
√
die down減弱；carry on繼續；break out爆發；come back回來。根據上文“With annoying delays(延誤) during holiday travel...one might expect only angry people to make the news.”和轉折連詞“But”可知，航班延誤應是有憤怒的事情發生，但是卻發生了轉折，發生了意想不到的節日歡呼，所以此處指爆發出節日的歡呼。故選C。
解析
Passengers aboard the packed flight had already been waiting for well over an hour to 2 ，when they were given more 3 news—the replacement flight crew(工作人員) was stuck in traffic.
2.A.leave B.land
C.enter D.board
3.A.impressive B.important
C.bad D.interesting
√
√
2.leave離開；land著陸；enter進入；board登機(船、車等)。根據上文“Passengers aboard the packed flight had already been waiting for well over an hour”可知，航班延誤的乘客在等了一個多小時之后終于可以離開。故選A。
3.impressive令人印象深刻的；important重要的；bad壞的；interesting有趣的。根據下文“the replacement flight crew(工作人員) was stuck in traffic”可知，本來航班延誤了一個多小時，又被告知替換機組人員被堵在了路上，所以應該是得到更多壞消息。故選C。
解析
The flight crew members were trying their best to keep people 4 and calm on the plane，but the 5 were hot and tired.Kate Dailey，a passenger on the plane，could “feel the stress rising in the air，” but then something 6 happened.
4.A.silent B.comfortable
C.safe D.focused
5.A.guests B.pilots
C.members D.travelers
6.A.puzzling B.shocking
C.funny D.magical
√
√
√
4.silent安靜的；comfortable舒適的；safe安全的；focused專注的。根據上文可知，航班延誤并且機組人員又被堵在路上，由此可知，機組人員會盡最大努力讓乘客舒適和平靜。故選B。
5.guest客人；pilot飛行員；member成員；traveler旅客。根據上文“Passengers aboard the packed flight had already been waiting for well over an hour”可知，航班延誤，等了一個多小時的旅客應是又累又熱，guest一般指到訪的人，而traveler一般指長途旅行的人。故選D。
6.puzzling令人困惑的；shocking令人震驚的；funny有趣的；magical神奇的。根據下文“A man stood up and started playing Christmas Carols on the saxophone(薩克斯管)，walking up and down the walkway.”和后文的描述可知，是音樂改變了氛圍，所以應該是神奇的。故選D。
解析
A man stood up and started playing Christmas Carols on the saxophone(薩克斯管)，walking up and down the walkway.The 7 among the crowd was lifted immediately 8 the plane was still on the ground.
7.A.mood B.awareness
C.confidence D.expectation
8.A.although B.since
C.once D.as
√
√
7.mood情緒；awareness意識；confidence自信；expectation期盼。根據下文“People were clapping，singing along”可知，乘客的情緒得到了提升。故選A。
8.although雖然，盡管；since自從；once一旦；as因為。空前“The _______ among the crowd was lifted immediately”和空后“the plane was still on the ground.”構成轉折關系，雖然飛機還在地面上，但人群中的情緒立刻得到了提升。故選A。
解析
“I was surprised and 9 ，” Kate said.“People were clapping，singing along，and 10 this man for his playing.”
9.A.proud B.delighted
C.curious D.awkward
10.A.begging B.paying
C.cheering D.honoring
√
√
9.proud驕傲的；delighted高興的；curious好奇的；awkward尷尬的。根據上文“The among the crowd was lifted immediately the plane was still on the ground.”可知，航班延誤人們應該是情緒都不高，但是因為音樂情緒得到了提升，結合下文“People were clapping，singing along”可知，凱特應該是既驚訝又高興。故選B。
10.beg乞討；pay支付；cheer歡呼；honor尊敬。根據上文“People were clapping，singing along”可知，設空處和鼓掌、唱歌的感彩應一致，所以應是歡呼。故選C。
解析
The sax player was Wayne Hoey，a music 11 .He’s known for telling his students，“Always 12 your sax，” so they could have the opportunity he had on this flight—to entertain and delight.
11.A.singer B.teacher
C.lover D.artist
12.A.play B.treasure
C.hold D.bring
√
√
11.singer歌手；teacher老師；lover愛好者；artist藝術家。根據下文“He’s known for telling his students”可知，他是一名老師。故選B。
12.play演奏；treasure珍惜；hold保持；bring帶來。根據下文“so they could have the opportunity he had on this flight—to entertain and delight”可知，此處指告訴學生要一直隨身帶著薩克斯，這樣他們才可能擁有像他這樣在這趟航班上演奏的機會。故選D。
解析
An unexpected kindness from 13 is a living example of the holiday spirit，and Wayne is a shining star.“Thank you，good sir，for your service—then and now，” Kate 14 on social media.“You just 15 my faith(信仰) in humanity.”
13.A.strangers B.musicians
