A
(2024·江西宜春高一下期中)
The Giving Voice Chorus(合唱團(tuán)) was created in 2014 by Mary Lenard，a former director of the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota-North Dakota.With co-worker Marge Ostroushko，who has taken care of a parent with Alzheimer’s disease(AD)，a brain disorder that gets worse over time，Lenard set out to create an environment where people with AD and their caregivers felt supported and comfortable.
“People with AD sometimes withdraw and often are not included in the community，” she says.“Marge and I recognized that music and singing are ways for people with AD to still be included and join in life.”
In the beginning，the chorus was made up of 30 people，including volunteers from the community who helped with small tasks during chorus practice，such as helping singers find the printed music in their binders(活頁夾) if they lost their place.Since then，the Giving Voice Chorus has grown to two additional choruses，with more than 180 members overall.
“We don’t do auditions，and we don’t care what AD cases you have or the stage of your disease，” says Lenard.“As long as you enjoy the experience，anyone can be part of the group.It’s a place where everyone belongs.”
Lenard says，“When we first started out，Marge and I didn’t know if people with AD were going to move away from the place where they ought to be or get upset.” But the opposite has happened.“There’s a positive change we see in people when they’re singing songs they love.They’re smiling，and there’s joy and laughter.It’s really special.”
“People with AD might have difficulty learning a new song or coming up with words on their own，” says Dr.Caselli，AD specialist at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.“But if they hear a song they’ve known all their lives，they tend to remember the words and are able to sing along.And because speech and long-term memory aren’t usually affected until late in the disease，members of the Giving Voice Chorus are likely to stay active until the last few months of life.”
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了由瑪麗·倫納德和瑪吉·奧斯特羅什科創(chuàng)立的“獻(xiàn)聲合唱團(tuán)”，該合唱團(tuán)旨在為阿爾茨海默病患者及其護(hù)理者提供一個(gè)包容和支持的環(huán)境，讓他們通過參與歌唱活動(dòng)保持社交和情感的聯(lián)系。
1．What’s the purpose of the Giving Voice Chorus
A．To enrich the young men’s life.
B．To raise money for the poor.
C．To ask people to tend to the old.
D．To help people with AD.
答案　D
解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“With co-worker Marge Ostroushko，who has taken care of a parent with Alzheimer’s disease(AD)．..Lenard set out to create an environment where people with AD and their caregivers felt supported and comfortable.”可知，獻(xiàn)聲合唱團(tuán)旨在幫助阿爾茨海默病患者。故選D。
2．What does the underlined word “withdraw” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Stop social activities.
B．Be looked down upon.
C．Be cheated.
D．Get lost.
答案　A
解析　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段中“Marge and I recognized that music and singing are ways for people with AD to still be included and join in life.”可推知，畫線處應(yīng)表達(dá)“阿爾茨海默病患者有時(shí)會(huì)停止社交活動(dòng)，經(jīng)常不被包含在社區(qū)當(dāng)中”，故畫線詞withdraw“脫離(社會(huì))”與A項(xiàng)意義相近。故選A。
3．How did Lenard feel when setting up the Giving Voice Chorus at first

C．Curious. D．Unwilling.
答案　B

4．What does Dr.Caselli say about AD members of the Giving Voice Chorus
A．They can express themselves freely.
B．They can learn a song quickly.
C．They fail to sing a familiar song.
D．They can be active near the end of life.
答案　D
解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“And because speech and long-term memory aren’t usually affected until late in the disease，members of the Giving Voice Chorus are likely to stay active until the last few months of life.”可知，他們可以在生命接近尾聲時(shí)依然保持活躍。故選D。
B(此篇精讀)
(2024·山東濟(jì)南高一上期末)
Researches show that 43,000 years ago our ancestors were making music.The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.Tears can uncontrollably well up even in the most hardened eyes when Bruce Springsteen sings The River.It’s hard not to nod your head with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll.We have evolved(進(jìn)化) to feel music.
There’s plentiful evidence that humans really feel music，but are the feelings universal If humans from different cultures listen to the same songs，will they respond in the same way That’s what a team of Chinese and Finnish researchers wanted to find out.
In a recent experiment，they presented nearly 2,000 participants from the United Kingdom，the United States，and China with different songs and asked them to describe where they felt the music in their bodies.For this，the researchers gave each subject blank outlines of a human and asked them to color the regions where they felt changing activity in their bodies.
The researchers found that all the participants responded to the songs in nearly the same way.“Across both cultures，happy and danceable songs activated the arms，legs，and the head.In contrast，sad，gentle，and scary songs activated mainly the chest and head regions，” the researchers described.“The results suggest similar bodily feelings of musical emotions across distant cultures.” Furthermore，the results show that humans feel music in the same way regardless of language and familiarity.Participants from one culture were not very familiar with others’ songs.Instead，their bodies were responding to specific acoustic(聽覺的) clues.
However，the team note that their experiment only analyzed two cultures，meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently，which will be the highlight of their further study.
語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。研究表明無論語言和熟悉程度如何，人類對(duì)音樂的感受都是一樣的。
5．What do the songs mentioned in paragraph 1 feature
A．Danceable beats. B．Traditional styles.
C．Emotional impact. D．Confusing content.
答案　C
解析　推理判斷題。由第一段中“The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.”可知，第一段提到的歌曲具有情感沖擊力。故選C。
6．What do the Chinese and Finnish researchers aim to do
A．Understand the history of music.
B．Explore people’s feeling for music.
C．Compare cultural differences in songs.
D．Study songs’ effect on physical health.
答案　B
解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段“There’s plentiful evidence that humans really feel music，but are the feelings universal If humans from different cultures listen to the same songs，will they respond in the same way That’s what a team of Chinese and Finnish researchers wanted to find out.”可知，中國和芬蘭的研究人員旨在探索人們對(duì)音樂的感受。故選B。
7．What can we learn from paragraph 4
A．All types of music activate the legs.
B．Humans respond similarly to music.
C．Familiar songs inspire more feelings.
D．People learn language through music.

8．What will the team do in the future
A．Create new music types.
B．Observe human behavior.
C．Put the discoveries to use.
D．Expand the participant range.
答案　D
解析　推理判斷題。由最后一段“However，the team note that their experiment only analyzed two cultures，meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently，which will be the highlight of their further study.”可知，團(tuán)隊(duì)將來會(huì)擴(kuò)大實(shí)驗(yàn)參與者的范圍。故選D。
[詞匯積累]
1．uncontrollably adv.不可控制地
2．well up情感涌起；迸發(fā)
3．blank adj.空白的
4．scare vt.使……害怕→scary adj.令人害怕的
5．a(chǎn)ctivate(派)＝active＋ate v．激活
[句式分析]
1．The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.
分析：此句為復(fù)合句。that引導(dǎo)同位語從句，對(duì)the fact的內(nèi)容進(jìn)行解釋說明；why引導(dǎo)賓語從句，在從句中充當(dāng)原因狀語。
翻譯：音樂伴隨我們這么久的事實(shí)解釋了為什么它會(huì)影響我們的精神和身體。
2．However，the team note that their experiment only analyzed two cultures，meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently，which will be the highlight of their further study.
分析：此句為復(fù)合句。第一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，在從句中不充當(dāng)成分；第二個(gè)that引導(dǎo)主語從句，it為形式主語；which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，指代前文“it’s possible that people living in...react to music very differently”。
翻譯：然而，研究小組指出，他們的實(shí)驗(yàn)只分析了兩種文化，這意味著生活在世界遙遠(yuǎn)地區(qū)的人們對(duì)音樂的反應(yīng)可能會(huì)非常不同，這將是他們進(jìn)一步研究的重點(diǎn)。

“I noticed your light on in the early hours again，Anna.Are you having trouble 9 ？”
Hilary is working in her front garden.She knows everything about everybody，or at least I think she does.
I usually 10 her house with my head down，hoping not to attract her attention.Today，though，I really need someone to 11 to，which is how I find myself at her kitchen table 12 out far more about myself than I would normally be 13 with.Hilary nods with concern and listens carefully.
14 ，she holds my arm tightly，and the kind look on her face brings tears to my eyes.“Next time it happens and you can’t get back to sleep，don’t be afraid to knock on my door，” she says.“Come in your pajamas，if you like.”
It seems a bit of an awkward 15 ，but I am melted by her kindness and learn to accept her warmth.

(2024·江西宜春高一下期中)
The Giving Voice Chorus(合唱團(tuán)) was created in 2014 by Mary Lenard，a former director of the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota-North Dakota.With co-worker Marge Ostroushko，who has taken care of a parent with Alzheimer’s disease(AD)，a brain disorder that gets worse over time，Lenard set out to create an environment where people with AD and their caregivers felt supported and comfortable.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了由瑪麗·倫納德和瑪吉·奧斯特羅什科創(chuàng)立的“獻(xiàn)聲合唱團(tuán)”，該合唱團(tuán)旨在為阿爾茨海默病患者及其護(hù)理者提供一個(gè)包容和支持的環(huán)境，讓他們通過參與歌唱活動(dòng)保持社交和情感的聯(lián)系。
Ⅲ.主題語篇閱讀
“People with AD sometimes withdraw and often are not included in the community，” she says.“Marge and I recognized that music and singing are ways for people with AD to still be included and join in life.”
In the beginning，the chorus was made up of 30 people，including volunteers from the community who helped with small tasks during chorus practice，such as helping singers find the printed music in their binders(活頁夾) if they lost their place.Since then，the Giving Voice Chorus has grown to two additional choruses，with more than 180 members overall.
“We don’t do auditions，and we don’t care what AD cases you have or the stage of your disease，” says Lenard.“As long as you enjoy the experience，anyone can be part of the group.It’s a place where everyone belongs.”
Lenard says，“When we first started out，Marge and I didn’t know if people with AD were going to move away from the place where they ought to be or get upset.” But the opposite has happened.“There’s a positive change we see in people when they’re singing songs they love.They’re smiling，and there’s joy and laughter.It’s really special.”
“People with AD might have difficulty learning a new song or coming up with words on their own，” says Dr.Caselli，AD specialist at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.“But if they hear a song they’ve known all their lives，they tend to remember the words and are able to sing along.And because speech and long-term memory aren’t usually affected until late in the disease，members of the Giving Voice Chorus are likely to stay active until the last few months of life.”
1.What’s the purpose of the Giving Voice Chorus
A.To enrich the young men’s life.
B.To raise money for the poor.
C.To ask people to tend to the old.
D.To help people with AD.
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“With co-worker Marge Ostroushko，who has taken care of a parent with Alzheimer’s disease(AD)...Lenard set out to create an environment where people with AD and their caregivers felt supported and comfortable.”可知，獻(xiàn)聲合唱團(tuán)旨在幫助阿爾茨海默病患者。故選D。

解析
3.How did Lenard feel when setting up the Giving Voice Chorus at first
A.Confident. B.Worried.
C.Curious. D.Unwilling.
√
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中“Lenard says，‘When we first started out，Marge and I didn’t know if people with AD were going to move away from the place where they ought to be or get upset.’”可知，剛開始組建獻(xiàn)聲合唱團(tuán)時(shí)，倫納德感到很擔(dān)心。故選B。
解析
4.What does Dr.Caselli say about AD members of the Giving Voice Chorus
A.They can express themselves freely.
B.They can learn a song quickly.
C.They fail to sing a familiar song.
D.They can be active near the end of life.
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“And because speech and long-term memory aren’t usually affected until late in the disease，members of the Giving Voice Chorus are likely to stay active until the last few months of life.”可知，他們可以在生命接近尾聲時(shí)依然保持活躍。故選D。
解析

B(此篇精讀)
(2024·山東濟(jì)南高一上期末)
Researches show that 43,000 years ago our ancestors were making music.The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.Tears can uncontrollably well up even in the most hardened eyes when Bruce Springsteen sings The River.It’s hard not to nod your head with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll.We have evolved(進(jìn)化) to feel music.
語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。研究表明無論語言和熟悉程度如何，人類對(duì)音樂的感受都是一樣的。
There’s plentiful evidence that humans really feel music，but are the feelings universal If humans from different cultures listen to the same songs，will they respond in the same way That’s what a team of Chinese and Finnish researchers wanted to find out.
In a recent experiment，they presented nearly 2,000 participants from the United Kingdom，the United States，and China with different songs and asked them to describe where they felt the music in their bodies.For this，the researchers gave each subject blank outlines of a human and asked them to color the regions where they felt changing activity in their bodies.
The researchers found that all the participants responded to the songs in nearly the same way.“Across both cultures，happy and danceable songs activated the arms，legs，and the head.In contrast，sad，gentle，and scary songs activated mainly the chest and head regions，” the researchers described.“The results suggest similar bodily feelings of musical emotions across distant cultures.” Furthermore，the results show that humans feel music in the same way regardless of language and familiarity.Participants from one culture were not very familiar with others’ songs.Instead，their bodies were responding to specific acoustic(聽覺的) clues.
However，the team note that their experiment only analyzed two cultures，meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently，which will be the highlight of their further study.
5.What do the songs mentioned in paragraph 1 feature
A.Danceable beats. B.Traditional styles.
C.Emotional impact. D.Confusing content.
推理判斷題。由第一段中“The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.”可知，第一段提到的歌曲具有情感沖擊力。故選C。
解析
√
6.What do the Chinese and Finnish researchers aim to do
A.Understand the history of music.
B.Explore people’s feeling for music.
C.Compare cultural differences in songs.
D.Study songs’ effect on physical health.
√
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段“There’s plentiful evidence that humans really feel music，but are the feelings universal If humans from different cultures listen to the same songs，will they respond in the same way That’s what a team of Chinese and Finnish researchers wanted to find out.”可知，中國和芬蘭的研究人員旨在探索人們對(duì)音樂的感受。故選B。
解析
7.What can we learn from paragraph 4
A.All types of music activate the legs.
B.Humans respond similarly to music.
C.Familiar songs inspire more feelings.
D.People learn language through music.
√
推理判斷題。由第四段中“Furthermore，the results show that humans feel music in the same way regardless of language and familiarity.”以及本段上下文可知，人類對(duì)音樂的反應(yīng)類似。故選B。
解析
8.What will the team do in the future
A.Create new music types.
B.Observe human behavior.
C.Put the discoveries to use.
D.Expand the participant range.
推理判斷題。由最后一段“However，the team note that their experiment only analyzed two cultures，meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently，which will be the highlight of their further study.”可知，團(tuán)隊(duì)將來會(huì)擴(kuò)大實(shí)驗(yàn)參與者的范圍。故選D。
解析
√
1.uncontrollably adv.不可控制地
2.well up情感涌起；迸發(fā)
3.blank adj.空白的
4.scare vt.使……害怕→scary adj.令人害怕的
5.activate(派)＝active＋ate v.激活

句式分析
1.The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.
分析：此句為復(fù)合句。that引導(dǎo)同位語從句，對(duì)the fact的內(nèi)容進(jìn)行解釋說明；why引導(dǎo)賓語從句，在從句中充當(dāng)原因狀語。
翻譯：音樂伴隨我們這么久的事實(shí)解釋了為什么它會(huì)影響我們的精神和身體。
2.However，the team note that their experiment only analyzed two cultures，meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently，which will be the highlight of their further study.
分析：此句為復(fù)合句。第一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，在從句中不充當(dāng)成分；第二個(gè)that引導(dǎo)主語從句，it為形式主語；which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，指代前文“it’s possible that people living in...react to music very differently”。
翻譯：然而，研究小組指出，他們的實(shí)驗(yàn)只分析了兩種文化，這意味著生活在世界遙遠(yuǎn)地區(qū)的人們對(duì)音樂的反應(yīng)可能會(huì)非常不同，這將是他們進(jìn)一步研究的重點(diǎn)。

語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者連續(xù)四晚失眠，一晚在床上輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)后起身到窗邊看街景，之后嘗試聽廣播、看書都無法入睡，心情低落。作者常看到鄰居希拉里在花園勞作，覺得她了解很多事，這次因失眠去找她傾訴，希拉里友善地接待并安慰了作者。

3.A.floor B.ceiling
C.door D.roof
√
√
√
1.sweep席卷；check檢查；survey查看，俯視；cross穿過。由上文“I go to the window”和下文“the street below”可知，作者走到窗戶那里俯視樓下的街道。故選C。
2.still不動(dòng)的；calm平靜的；busy忙的；noisy吵鬧的。由上文“It seems all is”可知，夜晚一切應(yīng)該是平靜的。故選B。
3.floor地板；ceiling天花板；door門；roof屋頂。由上文“Back in bed，I lie staring at the”可知，作者躺在床上應(yīng)該是盯著天花板。故選B。

4.A.nothing B.everything
C.something D.anything
5.A.impressed B.frightened
C.amazed D.anxious
√
√
4.nothing沒有東西；everything一切；something某物；anything任何東西。nothing but為固定搭配，意為“只是”，由下文“but sad news”可知，收音機(jī)里只有可悲的消息。故選A。
5.impressed印象深刻的；frightened害怕的；amazed驚訝的；anxious焦慮的。由上文“sad news”和第一段提到的作者失眠好幾天可知，作者打開收音機(jī)，聽到的都是可悲的消息，這讓作者更加焦慮，睡不著。故選D。
解析

6.A.boring B.exciting
C.doubtful D.delightful
7.A.arranges B.manages

8.A.wasted B.improved
C.changed D.ruined
√
√
√
6.boring無聊的；exciting令人興奮的；doubtful懷疑的；delightful令人愉悅的。由上文“I read several pages of the most”以及作者睡不著可知，作者應(yīng)該是讀令人無聊的書，以此讓自己犯困而入睡。故選A。
7.arrange安排；manage管理；fail失敗，未能；force強(qiáng)迫。由下文“Having tossed and turned for another two hours，I get up in a bad mood”可知，讀書并沒有讓作者回到睡眠狀態(tài)。故選C。
8.waste浪費(fèi)；improve提高；change改變；ruin毀壞。由上文“Having tossed and turned for another two hours”可知，作者翻來覆去地掙扎了兩個(gè)小時(shí)還是沒有睡著，心情很不好，所以自己的一天還沒開始就已經(jīng)被毀壞了。故選D。
解析
“I noticed your light on in the early hours again，Anna.Are you having trouble 9 ？”
Hilary is working in her front garden.She knows everything about everybody，or at least I think she does.
9.A.reading B.sleeping

10.A.watch over B.go through
C.hurry past D.dash over

√
√
10.watch over照看；go through經(jīng)歷；hurry past匆忙經(jīng)過；dash over匆忙趕去。由下文“hoping not to attract her attention”可知，作者不希望引起鄰居的注意，所以匆忙走過她的房子。故選C。
11.complain抱怨；relate聯(lián)系；compare比較；refer提到。由上文提到作者睡不著覺，自己的心情被毀掉了可知，作者想找個(gè)人抱怨一下。故選A。
解析

√
12.call打電話；cut切；reach到達(dá)；pour傾訴。由下文“out far more about myself”可知，作者在向她傾訴自己的事情。故選D。
13.confused困惑的；comfortable舒服的；pleased高興的；satisfied滿意的。由上文“I would normally be”可知，作者在傾訴著比平時(shí)多得多的關(guān)于自己的事情，這些事多到讓作者感到不舒服。故選B。
