Above all,learn to take charge of your life.” In the end,he said that he appreciated his parents’ support and that he would try to compose more joyous music to serve his fans faithfully.老人有两个才华横溢的儿子——汤姆与约翰,兄弟二人在艺术领域都取得了卓越成就。 汤姆是个充满激情的表演者,痴迷歌剧、戏剧与喜剧表演。他常流连于各类艺术展览,在精彩的演出中汲取灵感。这个精力充沛的年轻人总爱在闲暇时登台即兴表演,格外享受挑战自我、陶醉其中的氛围。日积月累间,他的表演技艺日臻纯熟,后来更被选拔为代表,随团队赴海外交流演出。 约翰则是位音乐天才,自幼便能创作古典与爵士乐章。他刻意简化曲式结构,让作品更易引发听众共鸣——当他的代表作首演时,他不知道观众反应如何。随后,不止一位观众发出了尖叫。他被誉为世界最伟大的音乐家之一。某次杂志专访中,他谈及奋斗历程并寄语青年:“陷入困境时,务必向父母朋友寻求建议,而后加倍努力!最重要的是学会掌控自己的人生。”最后他说始终感恩父母的支持,未来将创作更多欢乐的音乐真诚回报乐迷们。Section Ⅰ Topic TalkⅠ.选择填空(高考形式)Listen to the dialogue on P6 and choose the best answer.1.What type of art does Xiao Wu like best A.Painting.B.Beijing Opera.C.Classical music.答案 C2.How often does Xiao Wu go to concerts A.Every week.B.Every month.C.Every two months.答案 B3.What does the woman suggest doing in the end A.Going to a painting exhibition.B.Going to a concert together.C.Going to a Beijing Opera show.答案 BⅡ.听力填空(精听训练)Listen to the dialogue on P7 and fill in the blanks with the words you hear.(E=Eric D=Daisy)E:What are you doing on Saturday afternoon,Daisy?I have tickets for 1.Beijing Opera!

Alps has staged more than 60 unique concerts.Winter temperatures in the remote mountain village can drop high below zero.Performers wear down jackets and play ice instruments.In fact,almost everything from drums and guitars to horns and harps at the music festival is carved from ice,even the stage the musicians play on.The audience sit on ice chairs and benches and clap their hands to listen,both to praise the performers and to keep themselves warm when the air flows through.The musical instruments used were almost entirely made by an American ice artist,Tim Linhart.Since he created his first musical instrument out of ice more than a decade ago,he has already carved various ice instruments,including violins,violas,timber drum sets,xylophone,double bass,mandolin and cello.He also created his own large wind instrument,which uses the vibration of an ice tube to produce sound when the air flows through.Linhart makes the different parts of the ice instrument and then uses a liquid mixed with snow to glue them together,with a metal support placed where the strings(弦) need to be.A violin can usually be made in two or three weeks,while larger instruments can take more time and efforts,sometimes taking months to make.An ice instrument has a clearer sound than a wooden instrument.However,ice instruments are more easily broken or damaged than ordinary instruments.The temperature in the ice theater changes depending on the number of people in the audience.This also changes the temperature of the ice instruments,which in turn affects the sound they produce.Musicians need to tune their instruments frequently during performances.Although playing an ice instrument is not easy,Linhart believes that ice and snow are good materials for making instruments.The only downside is melting when the temperature is above freezing.语篇解读 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了阿尔卑斯山上举行的特别的音乐节,表演者穿着羽绒服,演奏冰雕乐器。事实上,音乐节上几乎所有的东西,从鼓、吉他到喇叭和竖琴,甚至音乐家们演奏的舞台,都是用冰雕刻而成的。1.What is special about the music festival A.It attracts only the locals.B.It usually lasts two months.C.It has to be held in the cold.D.Its audience have to dress up.答案 C解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Winter temperatures in the remote mountain village can drop high below zero.Performers wear down jackets and play ice instruments.In fact,almost everything from drums and guitars to horns and harps at the music festival is carved from ice,even

B.Shaking.C.Length. D.Opening.答案 B解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“He also created his own large wind instrument,which uses the vibration of an ice tube to produce sound when the air flows through.”可知,which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词wind instrument,结合常识,乐器发声需要利用冰管的振动在空气流过时发出声音。故画线词意思是“震动”。故选B。3.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about ice instruments A.Strengths and weaknesses.B.Production methods.C.Specific materials.D.Different varieties.答案 A解析 段落大意题。根据第四段前两句“An ice instrument has a clearer sound than a wooden instrument.However,ice instruments are more easily broken or damaged than ordinary

写作意图题。根据第一段并结合全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了阿尔卑斯山上举行的特别的音乐节,表演者穿着羽绒服,演奏冰雕乐器,音乐节上几乎所有的东西,从鼓、吉他到喇叭和竖琴,甚至音乐家们演奏的舞台,都是用冰雕刻而成的。据此可推知,文章的目的是分享一个活动。故选D。BArt and science may seem like opposite things.One means the creative flow of ideas,and the other means cold,hard data—some people believe.In fact,the two have much in common.Now,a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.Mariale Hardiman,an education specialist,noticed that students who used art in the class listened more carefully.They might ask more questions.They might volunteer more ideas.What’s more,students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved art.To prove that,Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.In the experiment,the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms.They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones.In a traditional science class,for example,students might read the information from a book aloud.In the art-focused one,they might sing the information instead.The team randomly assigned(分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science class or an art-focused one.Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit—about three weeks.When they changed to a new topic,they also changed to the other type of class.This way,each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one.Every unit was taught in both ways,to different groups of students.This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class.But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class.These students appeared to use some of the art techniques after going back to a traditional class.Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sketch(画速写) or sing to help remember the information.“It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own,” Hardiman said.语篇解读

learned in science class.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艺术可以帮助学生更好地记住他们在科学课上学到的东西。Mariale Hardiman,an education specialist,noticed that students who used art in the class listened more carefully.They might ask more questions.They might volunteer more ideas.What’s more,students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved art.To prove that,Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.In the experiment,the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms.They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones.In a traditional science class,for example,students might read the information from a book aloud.In the art-focused one,they might sing the information instead.The team randomly assigned(分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science class or an art-focused one.Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit—about three weeks.When they changed to a new topic,they also changed to the other type of class.This way,each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one.Every unit was taught in both ways,to different groups of students.This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class.But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class.These students appeared to use some of the art techniques after going back to a traditional class.Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sketch(画速写) or sing to help remember the information.“It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own,” Hardiman said.5.How does the first paragraph develop A.By giving examples.B.By analyzing cause and effect.C.By following space order.D.By making comparisons.√写作手法题。根据第一段前两句“Art and science
