[B级——话题语篇练]

Ⅰ. 阅读理解

A

Many studies link music study to academic achievements. But what is it about serious music training that seems to associate with great success in other fields?

I put the question to top­flight professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious (if often little­known) past lives as musicians. Alan.Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, was a professional saxophone (萨克斯管) player. The billionaire Bruce Kovner is a pianist who took classes at Juilliard. Almost all made a connection between their music training and their professional achievements. Mr. Greenspan says, “I can tell you as a statistician, the probability that that is mere chance is extremely small. That's all that you can judge about the facts. The important question is: why does that connection exist？”

Paul Allen, the billionaire co­founder of Microsoft, offers an answer. He says music “builds up your confidence in the ability to create”. The music had the emotional(情感的) similarity to his day job, with each giving a different type of motivation. The NBC chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd, who attended college on music scholarships, says there is a connection, between years of practice and competition and what he calls the “drive for perfection”. He adds:  “The group  playing trains  you,  quite literally, to play well with others, to know when to solo (独奏) and when to follow. ”

For many of the high achievers I spoke with, music functions as a “hidden language”， as the former World Bank president James Wolfensohn calls it, one that improves the ability to connect diverse or even contradictory ideas. According to him, music may not make you a genius, or a better person. But it helps train you to think differently,  to process different points of view — and most importantly, to take pleasure in listening.

Pete Sparks was a sensitive (敏感的) boy. So sensitive that even his hair was ticklish (怕痒的). You only had to touch his hair a little bit and he would start laughing. When this ticklish laughter started, no one could make him stop.

Pete tried everything to control his ticklishness, but nothing worked. So he began to feel sad for being different.

One day in the street, he met a special clown. The clown was very old and could hardly walk, but when he saw Pete in tears, he went to cheer him up. It didn't take long to make Pete laugh. Later Pete told him about his ticklish problem, and he asked the clown how such an old man could carry on being a clown.

“I have no one to take my place，” said the clown. “I have a very serious job to do.” Pete looked at him, surprised. “Come, I'll show you，” said the clown. So the clown took Pete to many hospitals full of children who were sick. As soon as they saw the clown, their faces changed completely and lit up with a smile. Their short while spent with the clown changed everything for them. That day was even more special, because in every show Pete's laughter would end up with the kids lying on the floor, dying with laughter. When the visit came to an end, the old clown said to Pete, “Now do you see why I can't retire (退休), even at my age？”

That was how Pete became a clown, and took the special old man's place. From that day on, the fact that Pete was different actually made him happy, thanks to his special gift (天赋)．

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了皮特是一个敏感的男孩，他的头发都很怕痒，只要一碰他的头发，他就会大笑，直到遇到小丑，小丑向皮特展示了自己的工作，皮特把自己的不同当做天赋，成为了一名小丑。

6．The clown took Pete to the hospitals in order to         .

A．treat his ticklishness

B．encourage him to be a clown

C．show him the meaning of his job

D．know whether Pete had told a lie

解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I have no one to take my place，” said the clown. “I have a very serious job to do.” Pete looked at him, surprised. “Come, I'll show you，”可知，刚开始，皮特不理解为什么老人年纪那么大了还在扮小丑，因此老人把他带到医院，让皮特明白他工作的重要性。

7．What does the story teach us?

A．Practice makes perfect.

B．Everyone is born useful.

C．Well begun is half done.

D．Where there is life, there is hope.

解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，皮特成为了一名小丑，取代了老人的位置，从那天起，皮特的不同使他变得开心，这一切都多亏了他的特殊天赋。由此可知，这个故事告诉我们每个人都有自己的特殊天赋，都是有用处的。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五

Are you feeling anxious about your test next week? Here are some tips that will help you in dealing with stress and anxiety.

Study regularly

One of the most important ways of avoiding test anxiety is to prepare well in advance. Study regularly for a few hours every day.   1 

Reduce study pressure

If students are not able to deal with anxiety or nervousness, they could talk to their teachers, student counselors (辅导员), parents or friends. Parents should also avoid pressurizing (加压) their kids to do well.    2   Then your children can study without any tension (紧张). Another important point that arises here is neither the students nor the parents should compare the children with their other classmates and friends.

Physical fitness

Do not forget to eat and sleep properly. Many times due to anxiety students avoid sleep and starve themselves.   3   Exercising regularly is equally important as talking to friends and socializing (社交)．

  4 

Plan your studies well. Chart (制图) out a timetable and take proper breaks between studying. Along with the study time, allot (分配) time to relax and do what you love to do. Practicing simple breathing skills will also help reduce stress.

  5   While it is important to gain good scores in tests, it is not the most important thing in life. Learning to deal with nervousness and stress will not only help them to do well in school tests, but also in their future life.

A．Listen carefully in class

B．Prepare schedule

C．Create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere at home.

D．It helps in increasing the confidence of students.

E．Test and exam time causes a lot of nervousness in students.

F．They should sleep for at least 6－7 hours a day and eat nutritious and healthy food.

G．Students should remember that tests are just a part of life.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章给出了缓解学习压力的一些建议。

1．选D　上文“Study regularly for a few hours every day (有规律地每天学习几小时)．”与D项 (它将有助于增加学生的信心)承接自然，空处是前文所提建议能带来的好处，故选D项。

2．选C　C项(在家给孩子创造宁静放松的氛围)与下文“Then your children can study without any tension(紧张) (这样你的孩子学习就没有紧张感)．”承接自然，后文是空处所提建议的好处，relaxing和tension是关键词，故选C项。

3．选F　前文“Many times due to anxiety students avoid sleep and starve themselves (很多时候，因为焦虑学生不睡觉也不吃东西)．”与F项(他们应该每天至少睡6－7小时，并且吃有营养的和健康的食物)承接自然，空处是针对上文情况所提出的建议，sleep是关键词，故选F项。

4．选B　空处为本段小标题。根据下文“Plan your studies well. Chart out a timetable (把你的学习计划好。制定一个时间表)”可知，本段主要讲了要制定时间表，有计划地学习和生活。B项(准备时间表)可以作为本段的小标题，故选B项。

5．选G　下文“While it is important to gain good scores in tests，it is not the most important thing in life (尽管考试得高分很重要，但那不是人生中最重要的事)．”与G项(学生要记得考试只是生活的一部分)承接自然，前后文都讲述对待考试应该有的态度，important是关键词，故选G项。
