Opera and cinema have a lot in common：as a matter of fact，they use music，theatre，dance and other art forms at once.The two-way inspiration has brought about several interesting experiments.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了歌剧与电影的共通之处、相互影响以及未来可能的联合发展趋势。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
Cinema has a longstanding fascination with the operatic medium.Opera has been used both as a setting and as a subject for cinema.From comic films to action films，opera scenes appear in a variety of genres(体裁).Whatever the film，scenes set in or around the opera tend to represent the most exciting moment in the plot.
Cinema is also capable of extending the visual elements of the opera：cameras can catch facial expressions from close or far，special visual effects can be added digitally，and montage can change the meaning of a scene.Far from replacing the operatic experience，opera-based films provide a different，complementary(互补的) take on operas：they become a genre of its own，which has been called the “opera-film”.
Adaptation of films into operas is quite a new development of the operatic world.It is，however，a quickly growing genre：more and more film-based operas are being produced.In the same way well-liked novels were chosen in the 19th century as plots for operas，nowadays composers turn to popular or relevant screenplays to attract the audience.
In the future，cinema and opera are highly likely to become more and more closely connected.While opera is fighting for relevance in the 21st century with new music produced，and cinema is slowly giving away its leading role to high-quality on-demand TV，the two media can work together to give rise to new forms of art，combining their advantages to create something that can become larger than the sum of their parts.
1.What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on
A.The visual elements of opera.
B.The strengths of cinema in adapting stories.
C.The new genre of opera-based film.
D.The unique settings and subjects of cinema.
√
段落大意题。根据第三段“电影还能扩展歌剧的视觉元素：摄像机可以从近处或远处捕捉面部表情，可以以数字方式添加特殊视觉效果，而蒙太奇手法可以改变场景的含义。基于歌剧的电影并没有取代歌剧的体验，反而为歌剧提供了一种不同且互补的视角：它们成了一种独立的类型，被称为‘歌剧电影’”可知，本段的主要焦点是基于歌剧的电影这一新艺术类型。故选C。
解析
2.What makes it likely for a film to be adapted into an opera
A.Its setting. B.Its subjects.
C.Its genres. D.Its popularity.
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the same way well-liked novels were chosen in the 19th century as plots for operas，nowadays composers turn to popular or relevant screenplays to attract the audience.”可知，电影受欢迎的程度是其有可能被改编成歌剧的一个重要因素，因为创作者们希望通过改编受欢迎的电影来吸引观众。故选D。
解析
√
3.What does the last paragraph imply
A.Opera is becoming even more popular.
B.Combining opera and cinema is a beneficial idea.
C.New forms of art have taken the leading role.
D.On-demand TV is preferred for the sum of their parts.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While opera is fighting for relevance in the 21st century with new music produced，and cinema is slowly giving away its leading role to high-quality on-demand TV，the two media can work together to give rise to new forms of art，combining their advantages to create something that can become larger than the sum of their parts.”可知，随着歌剧和电影都在努力适应现代娱乐环境的变化，它们可以携手合作，创造出新的艺术形式，结合它们的优势，创造出大于二者之和的作品。这暗示了将歌剧和电影结合起来是一个好主意。故选B。
解析
4.What is the text mainly about
A.The similarities between cinema and opera.
B.The challenges faced by cinema and opera in modern times.
C.The interaction and influence between cinema and opera.
D.The requirements for successfully combining cinema and opera.
√
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其根据第一段“Opera and cinema have a lot in common...The two-way inspiration has brought about several interesting experiments.”可知，文章主要介绍了歌剧与电影之间的相互作用和影响，包括电影对歌剧的借鉴、电影如何扩展歌剧的视觉元素、歌剧对电影的改编等。故选C。
解析

(2025·河南南阳高二上期末)
New research examined the video gaming habits of 160 public-school preteen students(70% from lower income households)，which represents an age group less studied in previous research.Participating students reported playing video games an average of 2.5 hours daily，with the group’s heaviest gamers putting in as much as 4.5 hours each day.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项针对儿童的电子游戏习惯的新研究发现，游戏时间和游戏类型的选择都与认知能力测试结果没有明显的联系。
The team looked for association between the students’ video game play and their performance on the standardized Cognitive Ability Test 7，known as CogAT，which evaluates language，quantitative and non-language skills.CogAT was chosen as a standard measure，in contrast to the teacher-reported grades or self-reported learning assessments that previous research projects relied on.
Overall，neither time of play nor choice of video game types had obvious connections with the CogAT measures.That result showed no direct linkage between video game playing and cognitive performance，despite what had been assumed.
But the study showed another side of the issue，too.Certain types of games described to help children build healthy cognitive skills also presented no measurable effects，in spite of the games’ marketing messages.The current study found that types of gameplay that seem to improve cognitive functions in young adults don’t have the same effect on much younger children，which was consistent with previous research.
Does this mean the world can play on？Maybe，the research suggests.But the experts also warn that gaming time took the heaviest players away from other more productive activities—homework，to be specific—in a process psychologists call displacement.But even in those cases，the differences were slight between those participants’ and their peers’ CogAT measures of cognitive abilities.
The study results show parents probably don’t have to worry so much about cognitive failures among video game-loving children，up to fifth grade.Reasonable amounts of video gaming should be OK，which will be delightful news for the kids.At least now we understand that finding balance in childhood development is the key，and there’s no need for us to over-worry about video gaming.
5.What can we learn from the new research mentioned in the text
A.Reported grades are the only standard measure.
B.Poorer students are easier to have gaming addictions.
C.Most preteen students play video games 4.5 hours daily.
D.There is little direct relation between game play and CogAT results.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段“Overall，neither time of play nor choice of video game types had obvious connections with the CogAT measures.That result showed no direct linkage between video game playing and cognitive performance，despite what had been assumed.”可知，根据新研究，玩电子游戏与CogAT结果之间几乎没有直接关系。故选D。
解析
6.Which statement did the previous study also indicate
A.Types of gameplay matter in children’s cognitive development.
B.Young adults are more addictive to games.
C.Parents haven’t taken games’ marketing messages seriously.
D.Video games can have no effect on children’s cognitive functions.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The current study found that types of gameplay that seem to improve cognitive functions in young adults don’t have the same effect on much younger children，which was consistent with previous research.”可知，之前的研究也表明，电子游戏对儿童的认知功能没有影响。故选D。
解析
7.What does the underlined word “displacement” in paragraph 5 describe
A.The change of position of game players.
B.The time usage of game players.
C.The homework completion of game players.
D.The social ranks of game players.
√
推理判断题。结合上文“But the experts also warn that gaming time took the heaviest players away from other more productive activities—homework，to be specific”可知，displacement这一过程指的是“重度玩家”将时间分配给玩游戏而非做家庭作业这样的更有成效的活动。因此，displacement描述的是游戏玩家的时间使用情况。故选B。
解析
8.What does the author think is the most important for children’s development
A.Interest. B.Imagination.
C.Balance. D.Intelligence.
√
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“At least now we understand that finding balance in childhood development is the key，and there’s no need for us to over-worry about video gaming.”可知，作者认为平衡对儿童发展是最重要的。故选C。
解析

3.donate捐赠；promote提升，促进；purchase购买；process加工，处理。根据最后一段中“With assistance from her family，Lauren has donated more than 7,000 pounds of homegrown produce in the past two years.”可知,Lauren种植蔬菜是为了捐赠给当地有需要的人家。故选A。

6.mistake错误；truth事实；regret遗憾；concern担忧。根据空后的“wondering how much work this would mean”可知，Katie对女儿的想法也感到担心，因为她不知道这意味着要做多少工作。故选D。

(2025·福建福州高二上期中)
Opera and cinema have a lot in common：as a matter of fact，they use music，theatre，dance and other art forms at once.The two-way inspiration has brought about several interesting experiments.
Cinema has a longstanding fascination with the operatic medium.Opera has been used both as a setting and as a subject for cinema.From comic films to action films，opera scenes appear in a variety of genres(体裁)．Whatever the film，scenes set in or around the opera tend to represent the most exciting moment in the plot.
Cinema is also capable of extending the visual elements of the opera：cameras can catch facial expressions from close or far，special visual effects can be added digitally，and montage can change the meaning of a scene.Far from replacing the operatic experience，opera-based films provide a different，complementary(互补的) take on operas：they become a genre of its own，which has been called the “opera-film”．
Adaptation of films into operas is quite a new development of the operatic world.It is，however，a quickly growing genre：more and more film-based operas are being produced.In the same way well-liked novels were chosen in the 19th century as plots for operas，nowadays composers turn to popular or relevant screenplays to attract the audience.
In the future，cinema and opera are highly likely to become more and more closely connected.While opera is fighting for relevance in the 21st century with new music produced，and cinema is slowly giving away its leading role to high-quality on-demand TV，the two media can work together to give rise to new forms of art，combining their advantages to create something that can become larger than the sum of their parts.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了歌剧与电影的共通之处、相互影响以及未来可能的联合发展趋势。
1．What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on
A．The visual elements of opera.
B．The strengths of cinema in adapting stories.
C．The new genre of opera-based film.
D．The unique settings and subjects of cinema.
答案　C
解析　段落大意题。根据第三段“电影还能扩展歌剧的视觉元素：摄像机可以从近处或远处捕捉面部表情，可以以数字方式添加特殊视觉效果，而蒙太奇手法可以改变场景的含义。基于歌剧的电影并没有取代歌剧的体验，反而为歌剧提供了一种不同且互补的视角：它们成了一种独立的类型，被称为‘歌剧电影’”可知，本段的主要焦点是基于歌剧的电影这一新艺术类型。故选C。
2．What makes it likely for a film to be adapted into an opera
A．Its setting. B．Its subjects.
C．Its genres. D．Its popularity.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the same way well-liked novels were chosen in the 19th century as plots for operas，nowadays composers turn to popular or relevant screenplays to attract the audience.”可知，电影受欢迎的程度是其有可能被改编成歌剧的一个重要因素，因为创作者们希望通过改编受欢迎的电影来吸引观众。故选D。
3．What does the last paragraph imply
A．Opera is becoming even more popular.
B．Combining opera and cinema is a beneficial idea.
C．New forms of art have taken the leading role.
D．On-demand TV is preferred for the sum of their parts.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While opera is fighting for relevance in the 21st century with new music produced，and cinema is slowly giving away its leading role to high-quality on-demand TV，the two media can work together to give rise to new forms of art，combining their advantages to create something that can become larger than the sum of their parts.”可知，随着歌剧和电影都在努力适应现代娱乐环境的变化，它们可以携手合作，创造出新的艺术形式，结合它们的优势，创造出大于二者之和的作品。这暗示了将歌剧和电影结合起来是一个好主意。故选B。
4．What is the text mainly about
A．The similarities between cinema and opera.
B．The challenges faced by cinema and opera in modern times.
C．The interaction and influence between cinema and opera.
D．The requirements for successfully combining cinema and opera.
答案　C

(2025·河南南阳高二上期末)
New research examined the video gaming habits of 160 public-school preteen students(70% from lower income households)，which represents an age group less studied in previous research.Participating students reported playing video games an average of 2.5 hours daily，with the group’s heaviest gamers putting in as much as 4.5 hours each day.
The team looked for association between the students’ video game play and their performance on the standardized Cognitive Ability Test 7，known as CogAT，which evaluates language，quantitative and non-language skills.CogAT was chosen as a standard measure，in contrast to the teacher-reported grades or self-reported learning assessments that previous research projects relied on.
Overall，neither time of play nor choice of video game types had obvious connections with the CogAT measures.That result showed no direct linkage between video game playing and cognitive performance，despite what had been assumed.
But the study showed another side of the issue，too.Certain types of games described to help children build healthy cognitive skills also presented no measurable effects，in spite of the games’ marketing messages.The current study found that types of gameplay that seem to improve cognitive functions in young adults don’t have the same effect on much younger children，which was consistent with previous research.
Does this mean the world can play on？Maybe，the research suggests.But the experts also warn that gaming time took the heaviest players away from other more productive activities—homework，to be specific—in a process psychologists call displacement.But even in those cases，the differences were slight between those participants’ and their peers’ CogAT measures of cognitive abilities.
The study results show parents probably don’t have to worry so much about cognitive failures among video game-loving children，up to fifth grade.Reasonable amounts of video gaming should be OK，which will be delightful news for the kids.At least now we understand that finding balance in childhood development is the key，and there’s no need for us to over-worry about video gaming.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项针对儿童的电子游戏习惯的新研究发现，游戏时间和游戏类型的选择都与认知能力测试结果没有明显的联系。
5．What can we learn from the new research mentioned in the text
A．Reported grades are the only standard measure.
B．Poorer students are easier to have gaming addictions.
C．Most preteen students play video games 4.5 hours daily.
D．There is little direct relation between game play and CogAT results.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段“Overall，neither time of play nor choice of video game types had obvious connections with the CogAT measures.That result showed no direct linkage between video game playing and cognitive performance，despite what had been assumed.”可知，根据新研究，玩电子游戏与CogAT结果之间几乎没有直接关系。故选D。
6．Which statement did the previous study also indicate
A．Types of gameplay matter in children’s cognitive development.
B．Young adults are more addictive to games.
C．Parents haven’t taken games’ marketing messages seriously.
D．Video games can have no effect on children’s cognitive functions.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中“The current study found that types of gameplay that seem to improve cognitive functions in young adults don’t have the same effect on much younger children，which was consistent with previous research.”可知，之前的研究也表明，电子游戏对儿童的认知功能没有影响。故选D。
7．What does the underlined word “displacement” in paragraph 5 describe
A．The change of position of game players.
B．The time usage of game players.
C．The homework completion of game players.
D．The social ranks of game players.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。结合上文“But the experts also warn that gaming time took the heaviest players away from other more productive activities—homework，to be specific”可知，displacement这一过程指的是“重度玩家”将时间分配给玩游戏而非做家庭作业这样的更有成效的活动。因此，displacement描述的是游戏玩家的时间使用情况。故选B。
8．What does the author think is the most important for children’s development
A．Interest. B．Imagination.
C．Balance. D．Intelligence.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“At least now we understand that finding balance in childhood development is the key，and there’s no need for us to over-worry about video gaming.”可知，作者认为平衡对儿童发展是最重要的。故选C。
