|阅|读|技|能|提|升| 理关键词句，抓文章主题
本文由两封电子邮件组成。邮件属于非正式文体，其独特之处在于表达手法的多样性、结构模式的开放性以及语言风格的简洁性，能够以轻松、随意的笔调以及生活化的场景呈现任意题材的内容，易于被读者接受。邮件通常会把要表达的主题融会在生活化的闲聊中，读文时应注意从字里行间提炼作者想要传达的思想。如本文第一封邮件中交换生Alice描写了自己在中国观看《梁祝》演出的经历，结合文中作者对自己感受的描写以及发表的评论，特别是关键句“music is indeed a universal language”可知，文章想要传达的是：音乐是全球性的语言，通过音乐可以了解不同的文化，借助音乐可以促进跨文化交际。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．Butterfly Lovers combines Chinese and Western musical elements: it is played on Western instruments such as the violin, but more significantly, much of the music has its roots in Chinese Yue Opera.
赏析：本句中使用了more significantly这一短语来突出强调《梁祝》的旋律主要源于中国的越剧。在写作中可以使用more significantly、more importantly、last but not least等来突出重点。此外，has its roots in意为“起源于……”，形象地解释了这首乐曲虽然用西方乐器演奏，但曲调多源于中国的越剧。
2．Obviously I don't know what it's truly like to grow up in rural America ...
赏析：本句中使用了副词Obviously，修饰整个句子，突出作者的情感态度。
[提能训练]　(完成句子)
①(2025·浙江1月高考写作)________________， filming short videos may invade others' privacy.
更重要的是，拍摄短视频可能会侵犯他人的隐私。
②The hall had no spare seats left last night.______________， the performance achieved great success.
昨晚大厅里座无虚席。显然，演出取得了巨大成功。
(二)赏句式之高
1．Angry and sad, Liang falls sick and dies.Zhu weeps bitterly over the loss of her love.
赏析：本句中使用了形容词短语Angry and sad作状语，表现出梁山伯的悲愤之情。形容词(短语)作状语，同样是写作中的亮点表达，尤其适用于读后续写中对心理状态的描写。
2．It turns out that country music became popular right here in the south of America in the 1940s and then spread across the nation.
赏析：此处使用了“It turns out that ...”这一句型，既承接了上一段的内容，又引出了本段要讲述的内容。这一句型中It为形式主语，that引导的从句作真正的主语。
[提能训练]　(完成句子)
①____________________， I went to bed early.
又累又困，我很早就上床睡觉了。
②____________________ what we do in our daily life really makes a difference to our environment.
结果证明，我们在日常生活中所做的事情确实会对我们的环境产生影响。
(三)赏修辞之功
When the two lovers, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, first meet, the music is light and pleasant, as if whispering to the audience.
赏析：本句中as if whispering to the audience使用了拟人的修辞手法，将轻柔愉悦的乐声描述成是在和观众低声耳语，既体现了语言的美感，又形象地介绍了这一段音乐要传达的内容。
[提能训练]　(用拟人修辞完成句子)
The tree grew tall.A gust of wind blew.The tree ______________________________.
树长高了。一阵风吹来，小树摇曳着树枝在跳舞。
(四)赏衔接之顺
第一封邮件的第二段中，在描述乐曲的内容时，作者用When ...first meet ...; It is followed by ...; Then ...that is when ...; Finally ...讲述了跌宕起伏的故事经过，生动流畅地展现了音乐从“轻柔→愉快→沉重→激昂→柔缓”的演奏过程。
(五)赏描摹之韵(经典开头、结尾)
第一封邮件的开头使用了“So glad to get your email.I hope everything is fine with you.”，这两个句子是邮件或书信常用的开头语；此外，两封邮件的结尾分别使用了“You should definitely ...I bet you'll like it！”及“Why don't you ... I guarantee you'll enjoy it！”，这是建议信、推荐信的惯用收尾句。这些开头和结尾句可在写作时借鉴使用。
音乐可以带来轻松愉悦的氛围，缓解压力，舒缓身心。音乐能帮助人们调整情绪，找到内心的平静与安宁。好的音乐更能陶冶人的情操，锤炼人的意志。阅读本文，体会音乐在人们生活中的积极作用。
Good morning! My name is Sarah Williams. It's an honour to be here and to share with you
①
the story of how music has had an impact on my life.
Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all Two years ago, I was told I had a serious disease which was difficult to cure.My body ached all the time and thus I thought I didn't have much longer to live.I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged.Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment.The doctor wanted me to relax, so he had me listen to some music, and one of the songs was “Happy”．The song made me feel so much better that from then on I began to listen to music all the time.John A．Logan said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it's true.Music helped me recover.
Music gave me happiness.When I listened to music, it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind.Music gave me strength and brought me relief.It was the rock I leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times.Moreover, music gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction.It became my best friend.It spoke words of encouragement to the deepest part of my being.
At the same time, we all go through various periods when we feel sad or alone.During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me.I hope all of you will somehow begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life.
Thank you!

The French Woods Music Camp is one of the finest non-competitive, comprehensive summer camps in the United States.Kids who are enthusiastic about music (aged from 7 to 17 years old) are given instruction on all levels and perform in ensembles (合唱) based on their age, ability and schedule.
Working conductors and musicians are at the heart of the professional faculty for the Summer Music Camp at French Woods.The counselor staff consists of music students and young music professionals.
Unlike other music camps, French Woods doesn't require campers to audition (试听) before the summer.Students at all skill levels are welcome to French Woods and will gain from the summer experience.
Both group and individual private lessons are available from the staff for all orchestral instruments, piano, drums, voice and guitar.
French Woods encourages a cooperative environment between music campers.With this spirit, French Woods' classical symphony is able to perform a concert within two weeks from the start of camp.Other youth orchestras normally take months to be ready to perform.
Besides our youth symphony, we have concert bands, a jazz program, and a great rock and roll camp.The Rock & Roll Camp has five rehearsal studios and a 36-track professional recording studio.Instead of just doing covers of other groups, the bands at French Woods are encouraged to create their own songs.Most rock campers leave with a professional level CD of their work for the summer.
The summer isn't just about music.The campers have plenty of time each day to try the other activities at the camp like water sports, skateboarding, horseback riding and the theater camp.
Please give us a call (800 634-1703) to arrange a visit to the camp grounds or to talk to the camp executive staff.

B
I remember the day Dad first took the violin home, and gathered my mother and me in the living room.If my thin smile didn't match his smile, it was because I had prayed for a guitar or a piano.Then Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week.
One day, I found a violin case.“It's your father's，” Mom said.“His parents bought it for him.He got too busy on the farm to play it.” Shortly after, my lessons began with Mr Zelli.Confirmed I got fine for the first lesson, Dad glowed with hope.
Though ordered to practice half an hour every day for a concert, I tried to get out of it.My future seemed to be without playing balls.Sometimes I could hear my friends outside playing heated games.
“I don't want to play a solo，” I shouted to my father.“You didn't get to play your violin when you were a kid.So why should I？” Dad pointed at me, “Because you can bring people joy.You can touch their hearts.That's a gift I won't let you throw away.” He added softly, “Someday you'll have the chance I never had — you will play the
beautiful music for your family.And you'll understand why you've worked so hard.” I had rarely heard Dad speak with such a feeling about anything.From then on, I practiced without my parents' making me.Finally, I finished my solo performing without a mistake.After the concert, Mom and Dad came backstage.The way they walked — heads high, faces flushed — I knew they were pleased.
As the years went by, I had my own family.I brought the violin to my home and put it in the attic (阁楼)．There it remained a dusty memory, until one afternoon many years later, my two children discovered it by accident.When I opened the case, they urged, “Play it, play it.” Surprised, I found my skills hadn't rusted away.Soon the kids were dancing in circles and giggling.Even my wife Terri was laughing and clapping to the beat.
I finally knew what it meant to work hard and sacrifice for others.Dad had been right: The most precious gift is to touch the hearts of those who you love.It took me almost 30 years to discover the legacy.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自身的经历讲述了音乐也是增进家庭成员间亲密感的重要媒介。
4．What's the author's first reaction to the violin
A．He disbelieved it.
B．He was keen on it.
C．He smiled and treasured it.
D．He was not ready to accept it.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If my thin smile didn't match his smile, it was because I had prayed for a guitar or a piano.”可知，作者一直想要一把吉他或者一架钢琴，所以当看到小提琴的第一眼时，作者并没准备好接受这种乐器。
5．Which of the following can best describe Dad's personality
A．Rich and modest. B．Mean and stubborn.
C．Wise and persistent. D．Honest and strange.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Though ordered to practice half an hour every day for a concert, I tried to get out of it.”以及最后一段可知，作者不想拉小提琴的时候，是父亲一直在坚持督促作者练习，并且多年后作者也领悟到父亲的做法是正确的。由此可推知，父亲是一个明智而执着的人。
6．When did the author understand his father's message of playing the instrument
A．Before the solo performance.
B．With his companions' praise.
C．With his parents' growing old.
D．With his children's discovery of the instrument.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段以及最后一段中的“I finally knew what it meant to work hard and sacrifice for others.”可知，当多年后作者的孩子们发现了小提琴，并让作者演奏时，音乐带给家人的快乐让作者理解了父亲让自己弹奏乐器的深意。
7．What's the main idea of the text
A．Music is the cure for pain.
B．Losing and getting the sense of music.
C．The hard way to becoming a musician.
D．Delighting loved ones is what music is about.
√
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是最后一段可推知，本文主要是想说明音乐的意义在于取悦所爱的人。
C
When a staging of the famous Chinese opera Farewell My Concubine performed by the Shanghai Peking Opera Company (SPOC) sold out at Princeton University, Jianping Mei, a 1990 graduate, had a big idea.He wondered if there were enough Princeton students interested in studying Peking Opera in Shanghai.
Mei decided the most important requirement to join the pilot project would be a strong will to study traditional Chinese opera in Chinese, since all instruction would be in the Chinese language.He expected five students would be enough, but to his surprise, 19 students took up this challenge.
The program, which lasted about twenty days, was held in the studios of the Shanghai Peking Opera Company.Students' daily study started with three hours of morning training in basic skills.Half of the group learned martial arts (武术), and half practiced water sleeves (水袖) dancing.
During the first week of training, afternoon periods focused on the important parts of Peking Opera performance: the music, characters, costumes (服装) and makeup.Over the following two weeks, the afternoon periods became scene study workshops, in which groups of two to five students worked together with teachers to prepare for the performance of an aria (唱腔), scene or dance from traditional Peking Opera.
After two weeks of study, Princeton students presented their martial arts and water sleeves dance movements on the SPOC stage.At the end of the third week, each of the six groups presented their scene on stage with the help of SPOC musicians.As a finale (终场), the Princeton students sang a famous Chinese pop song, Friend, to express their thanks to their teachers and hosts.
Teresa Irigoyen-Lopez, a member of the Class of 2019, described the experience, “It was really a hard task for me at first.I had to learn a new musical style in a new language! But becoming part of the experience and performing ourselves was really exciting.All our efforts were worth it！”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了普林斯顿大学的一些学生们通过三周的京剧学习，最终成功登台献上了完美的演出。
8．If someone wanted to be in Jianping Mei's program, he or she must ___________.
A．be good at Chinese
B．be ready to learn things in Chinese
C．know something about Chinese opera
D．study Chinese at Princeton University
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，因为所有的教学都是用汉语进行的，所以学员要准备好用汉语学习。
9．What can we learn about the program
A．It started in 1990.
B．It lasted about three weeks.
C．It was held in Beijing.
D．It attracted few students at first.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，这个项目持续大约20天，也就是三周左右。
10．What did the students do after two weeks of study
A．They joined a local night-study program.
B．They performed their scene with SPOC musicians.
C．They performed an opera version of the song Friend.
D．They presented the basic skills they'd learned on the SPOC stage.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知，两周后学员在上海京剧公司的舞台上展示他们学习的基本技能。
11．What did Teresa think of her experience
A．Different but relaxing.
B．Unexpected and tiring.
C．Difficult but enjoyable.
D．Familiar and comfortable.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It was really a hard task for me at first.”及“But becoming part of the experience and performing ourselves was really exciting.”可知，Teresa Irigoyen-Lopez认为这段经历是困难但令人愉快的。

The French Woods Music Camp is one of the finest non-competitive, comprehensive summer camps in the United States.Kids who are enthusiastic about music (aged from 7 to 17 years old) are given instruction on all levels and perform in ensembles (合唱) based on their age, ability and schedule.
Working conductors and musicians are at the heart of the professional faculty for the Summer Music Camp at French Woods.The counselor staff consists of music students and young music professionals.
Unlike other music camps, French Woods doesn't require campers to audition (试听) before the summer.Students at all skill levels are welcome to French Woods and will gain from the summer experience.
Both group and individual private lessons are available from the staff for all orchestral instruments, piano, drums, voice and guitar.
French Woods encourages a cooperative environment between music campers.With this spirit, French Woods' classical symphony is able to perform a concert within two weeks from the start of camp.Other youth orchestras normally take months to be ready to perform.
Besides our youth symphony, we have concert bands, a jazz program, and a great rock and roll camp.The Rock & Roll Camp has five rehearsal studios and a 36-track professional recording studio.Instead of just doing covers of other groups, the bands at French Woods are encouraged to create their own songs.Most rock campers leave with a professional level CD of their work for the summer.
The summer isn't just about music.The campers have plenty of time each day to try the other activities at the camp like water sports, skateboarding, horseback riding and the theater camp.

I remember the day Dad first took the violin home, and gathered my mother and me in the living room.If my thin smile didn't match his smile, it was because I had prayed for a guitar or a piano.Then Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week.
One day, I found a violin case.“It's your father's，” Mom said.“His parents bought it for him.He got too busy on the farm to play it.” Shortly after, my lessons began with Mr Zelli.Confirmed I got fine for the first lesson, Dad glowed with hope.
Though ordered to practice half an hour every day for a concert, I tried to get out of it.My future seemed to be without playing balls.Sometimes I could hear my friends outside playing heated games.
“I don't want to play a solo，” I shouted to my father.“You didn't get to play your violin when you were a kid.So why should I？” Dad pointed at me, “Because you can bring people joy.You can touch their hearts.That's a gift I won't let you throw away.” He added softly, “Someday you'll have the chance I never had — you will play the beautiful music for your family.And you'll understand why you've worked so hard.” I had rarely heard Dad speak with such a feeling about anything.From then on, I practiced without my parents' making me.Finally, I finished my solo performing without a mistake.After the concert, Mom and Dad came backstage.The way they walked — heads high, faces flushed — I knew they were pleased.
As the years went by, I had my own family.I brought the violin to my home and put it in the attic (阁楼)．There it remained a dusty memory, until one afternoon many years later, my two children discovered it by accident.When I opened the case, they urged, “Play it, play it.” Surprised, I found my skills hadn't rusted away.Soon the kids were dancing in circles and giggling.Even my wife Terri was laughing and clapping to the beat.
I finally knew what it meant to work hard and sacrifice for others.Dad had been right: The most precious gift is to touch the hearts of those who you love.It took me almost 30 years to discover the legacy.

6．When did the author understand his father's message of playing the instrument
A．Before the solo performance.
B．With his companions' praise.
C．With his parents' growing old.
D．With his children's discovery of the instrument.

When a staging of the famous Chinese opera Farewell My Concubine performed by the Shanghai Peking Opera Company (SPOC) sold out at Princeton University, Jianping Mei, a 1990 graduate, had a big idea.He wondered if there were enough Princeton students interested in studying Peking Opera in Shanghai.
Mei decided the most important requirement to join the pilot project would be a strong will to study traditional Chinese opera in Chinese, since all instruction would be in the Chinese language.He expected five students would be enough, but to his surprise, 19 students took up this challenge.
The program, which lasted about twenty days, was held in the studios of the Shanghai Peking Opera Company.Students' daily study started with three hours of morning training in basic skills.Half of the group learned martial arts (武术), and half practiced water sleeves (水袖) dancing.
During the first week of training, afternoon periods focused on the important parts of Peking Opera performance: the music, characters, costumes (服装) and makeup.Over the following two weeks, the afternoon periods became scene study workshops, in which groups of two to five students worked together with teachers to prepare for the performance of an aria (唱腔), scene or dance from traditional Peking Opera.
After two weeks of study, Princeton students presented their martial arts and water sleeves dance movements on the SPOC stage.At the end of the third week, each of the six groups presented their scene on stage with the help of SPOC musicians.As a finale (终场), the Princeton students sang a famous Chinese pop song, Friend, to express their thanks to their teachers and hosts.
Teresa Irigoyen-Lopez, a member of the Class of 2019, described the experience, “It was really a hard task for me at first.I had to learn a new musical style in a new language! But becoming part of the experience and performing ourselves was really exciting.All our efforts were worth it！”
8．If someone wanted to be in Jianping Mei's program, he or she must________.
A．be good at Chinese
B．be ready to learn things in Chinese
C．know something about Chinese opera
D．study Chinese at Princeton University
9．What can we learn about the program
A．It started in 1990.
B．It lasted about three weeks.
C．It was held in Beijing.
D．It attracted few students at first.
10．What did the students do after two weeks of study
A．They joined a local night-study program.
B．They performed their scene with SPOC musicians.
C．They performed an opera version of the song Friend.
D．They presented the basic skills they'd learned on the SPOC stage.
11．What did Teresa think of her experience
A．Different but relaxing.
B．Unexpected and tiring.
C．Difficult but enjoyable.
D．Familiar and comfortable.
