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.

(2025·四川凉山高一上期末)
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.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究结果，即学习音乐并不会让人变得更聪明，但音乐课仍然可能对学生的非音乐学科表现有益。
5．What does the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Improve. B．Reduce.
C．Need. D．Influence.
答案　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　推理判断题。根据第三段中“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，第三段中的例子是为了证明上音乐课是否能让孩子更聪明还不确定。故选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

8．What result can we know from the last paragraph

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

[词汇积累]
1．paper n．熟义：纸；报纸 生义(文义)：论文
2．be combined with与……相结合
3．feel free to do sth随意做某事
[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：此句为复合句。found on the Internet and in various magazines为过去分词短语作后置定语；第一个that引导定语从句，先行词为an idea，that在从句中充当主语；第二个that引导宾语从句；if引导条件状语从句。
翻译：有一段时间，在互联网和各种杂志上发现了一种观点，认为如果婴儿听莫扎特或其他古典音乐，他们会变得更聪明。
2．It seems like there is something about music lessons that make students able to perform better in their other classes.
分析：此句为复合句。it作形式主语，there is...为省略了that的主语从句；that引导定语从句，先行词为music lessons，that在从句中充当主语。
翻译：音乐课似乎能让学生在其他课上表现得更好。

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.
语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一群中年爸爸组织了一个舞蹈队并走红的故事。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
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.
细节理解题。根据第二段中“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.”可知，这个中年爸爸舞蹈队的成员都是缺乏跳舞经验的。故选B。

B.It has improved his health and leadership skills.

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.

(2025·四川凉山高一上期末)
A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究结果，即学习音乐并不会让人变得更聪明，但音乐课仍然可能对学生的非音乐学科表现有益。
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.
词义猜测题。根据上文“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，受到这个观点的启发，一些父母为他们的孩子购买古典CD，希望这能提高他们的智力。由此可知，boost意为“提高”。故选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.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中“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，第三段中的例子是为了证明上音乐课是否能让孩子更聪明还不确定。故选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.
细节理解题。根据第四段中“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，研究人员是通过审查了大量先前的研究来进行这项新研究的。故选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.
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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，从最后一段我们可以知道应该鼓励孩子们上音乐课。故选C。
解析
√
1.paper n.熟义：纸；报纸 生义(文义)：论文
2.be combined with与……相结合
3.feel free to do sth随意做某事
词汇积累
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：此句为复合句。found on the Internet and in various magazines为过去分词短语作后置定语；第一个that引导定语从句，先行词为an idea，that在从句中充当主语；第二个that引导宾语从句；if引导条件状语从句。
翻译：有一段时间，在互联网和各种杂志上发现了一种观点，认为如果婴儿听莫扎特或其他古典音乐，他们会变得更聪明。
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：此句为复合句。it作形式主语，there is...为省略了that的主语从句；that引导定语从句，先行词为music lessons，that在从句中充当主语。
翻译：音乐课似乎能让学生在其他课上表现得更好。

With annoying delays(延误) during holiday travel at one of the busiest airports in the world，one might expect only angry people to make the news.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了航班延误时，乘客们因一位音乐老师的即兴演奏而心情转好的故事。
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减弱；carry on继续；break out爆发；come back回来。根据上文“With annoying delays(延误) during holiday travel...one might expect only angry people to make the news.”和转折连词“But”可知，航班延误应是有愤怒的事情发生，但是却发生了转折，发生了意想不到的节日欢呼，所以此处指爆发出节日的欢呼。故选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(工作人员) was stuck in traffic.
2.A.leave B.land
C.enter D.board
3.A.impressive B.important
C.bad D.interesting
√
√
2.leave离开；land着陆；enter进入；board登机(船、车等)。根据上文“Passengers aboard the packed flight had already been waiting for well over an hour”可知，航班延误的乘客在等了一个多小时之后终于可以离开。故选A。
3.impressive令人印象深刻的；important重要的；bad坏的；interesting有趣的。根据下文“the replacement flight crew(工作人员) was stuck in traffic”可知，本来航班延误了一个多小时，又被告知替换机组人员被堵在了路上，所以应该是得到更多坏消息。故选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安静的；comfortable舒适的；safe安全的；focused专注的。根据上文可知，航班延误并且机组人员又被堵在路上，由此可知，机组人员会尽最大努力让乘客舒适和平静。故选B。
5.guest客人；pilot飞行员；member成员；traveler旅客。根据上文“Passengers aboard the packed flight had already been waiting for well over an hour”可知，航班延误，等了一个多小时的旅客应是又累又热，guest一般指到访的人，而traveler一般指长途旅行的人。故选D。
6.puzzling令人困惑的；shocking令人震惊的；funny有趣的；magical神奇的。根据下文“A man stood up and started playing Christmas Carols on the saxophone(萨克斯管)，walking up and down the walkway.”和后文的描述可知，是音乐改变了氛围，所以应该是神奇的。故选D。
解析
A man stood up and started playing Christmas Carols on the saxophone(萨克斯管)，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情绪；awareness意识；confidence自信；expectation期盼。根据下文“People were clapping，singing along”可知，乘客的情绪得到了提升。故选A。
8.although虽然，尽管；since自从；once一旦；as因为。空前“The _______ among the crowd was lifted immediately”和空后“the plane was still on the ground.”构成转折关系，虽然飞机还在地面上，但人群中的情绪立刻得到了提升。故选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骄傲的；delighted高兴的；curious好奇的；awkward尴尬的。根据上文“The among the crowd was lifted immediately the plane was still on the ground.”可知，航班延误人们应该是情绪都不高，但是因为音乐情绪得到了提升，结合下文“People were clapping，singing along”可知，凯特应该是既惊讶又高兴。故选B。
10.beg乞讨；pay支付；cheer欢呼；honor尊敬。根据上文“People were clapping，singing along”可知，设空处和鼓掌、唱歌的感彩应一致，所以应是欢呼。故选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

12.A.play B.treasure
C.hold D.bring
√
√
11.singer歌手；teacher老师；lover爱好者；artist艺术家。根据下文“He’s known for telling his students”可知，他是一名老师。故选B。
12.play演奏；treasure珍惜；hold保持；bring带来。根据下文“so they could have the opportunity he had on this flight—to entertain and delight”可知，此处指告诉学生要一直随身带着萨克斯，这样他们才可能拥有像他这样在这趟航班上演奏的机会。故选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
C.passengers D.visitors
14.A.replied B.agreed
C.admitted D.wrote
15.A.tested B.challenged
C.strengthened D.recovered
√
√
√
13.stranger陌生人；musician音乐家；passenger乘客；visitor访客。根据上文可知，韦恩·霍伊是一名乘客，对其他乘客来说是陌生人，所以是来自陌生人的善意。故选A。
14.reply回答；agree同意；admit承认；write写道，(以文字)说。根据下文“on social media”可知，是在社交媒体上发布信息，所以“写道，(以文字)说”符合语境。故选D。
15.test测试；challenge挑战；strengthen增强；recover恢复。根据下文“my faith(信仰) in humanity”和前文“An unexpected kindness from ____ is a living example of the holiday spirit，and Wayne is a shining star.”可知，韦恩的行为增强了凯特对人性的信心。故选C。
