My piano stays in a corner of the small living room. “All pianos have stories,” she said. Suddenly, my piano's story came flooding over me fully, as if I'd always had this tale to tell.I have loved music since childhood. I studied the recorder and moved to the violin, trumpet and guitar. But playing the piano had always been my dream, a dream our family could not afford.I grew up in a Chinese immigrant family in Toronto. My father waited tables in a Chinese restaurant, and my mother worked in a Chinese laundry. Despite our poor childhood, my siblings(兄弟姐妹) and I were always fed with love. I can't remember which birthday it was when my mother spared the money to buy me a doll. Of course, by then I'd outgrown wanting dolls. But she worked too hard to know that and I never told her. I happily and gratefully accepted the doll because I loved the gift and that was her loving me enough to buy it for me.So it was eventually with my piano. It was in my last year of high school. I took piano lessons for about a year before university forced me to stop. I had to make a decision to continue the more practical goal of medical school or my love for music. The practical one in me won. But I also stopped piano lessons because as with my doll, it was too late to learn to play the way I wanted.I moved that piano around with me over the next decade until my son was born. He showed an early interest in music, so I put him in piano lessons.I've come to realize that in pursuit of my career, I've let all personal pleasure fall away. Maybe it's time to get that piano retuned(重新调音) again, this time for myself, before it's too late to enjoy. Maybe that's something we all should do right now.Sometimes a single question can open whole paths of thinking and discovery. So, what is the story of your piano?24.What do we know about the author from the first three paragraphs?A.She was born in a musical family.B.She refused to accept the doll as a gift.C.She had a poor but happy childhood.D.Her parents were too busy to care for her.25.Why did the author stop learning the piano in her last year of high school?A.Because playing the piano was useless to her.B.Because she couldn't afford piano lessons.C.Because her parents forced her to stop.D.Because she faced academic and career pressure.26.What will the author probably do in the near future?A.Ask her son to learn the piano.B.Buy a new piano for herself.C.Restart realizing her piano dream.D.Focus on her medical career.27.What is the author's purpose in writing the article?A.To share her story about an unrealized dream.B.To show the advantage of medicine over music.C.To recall her unfortunate childhood experience.D.To encourage readers to play the piano.CLast Friday, a robot called EveR 6 led an orchestra(管弦乐队) in a performance of Korean music at the National Theater of Korea. EveR 6 is about as tall as a person, and has a human-like face that can show emotions. Its joints (关节) allow it to move its arms quickly and smoothly in many different directions.But EveR 6 doesn't think on its own like some advanced Artificial Intelligence programs. Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform. To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6's movements are based on those captured from real human conductors.In Friday's performance, the National Orchestra of Korea presented a concert titled “Absence”. The concert included five different pieces of music. Two were conducted by EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo-Yeoul Choi, who leads the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. Both conductors worked together on the final piece.Mr. Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. “The robot was able to present such detailed moves much better than I had imagined,” he said.But Mr. Choi added that the robot's biggest weakness was that it couldn't hear. “Some people think that conducting is just a combination of hand waving and keeping the beat,” said Mr. Choi. “But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.”Mr. Choi and EveR 6 both conducted a piece of music called “Sense”. Instead of musical notes, EveR 6 had instructions on how to play the piece. The conductors and musicians had to work together to create the music. Mr. Choi communicated with the musicians while EveR 6 kept the beat. Mr. Choi said that once EveR 6 started, the musicians had “no choice but to follow its beats”.Mr. Choi doesn't think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots can be helpful in situations like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times.28.What do we know about EveR 6 from the text?A.It is an experienced conductor.B.It has a lifelike appearance.C.It is able to listen to music.D.It is much shorter than a person.29.What does the underlined word “captured”in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Stolen. B.Stopped.C.Recorded. D.Hidden.30.What advantage does a human conductor have over EveR 6?A.Waving hands.B.Keeping the beat.C.Having instructions.D.Communicating with musicians.31.What is the text mainly about?A.A robot conducting an orchestra.B.An orchestra having performed in Korea.C.Modern music combined with technology.D.Two conductors getting worldwide recognition.DIn all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts are finding that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain, thus increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves spatial(空间的) reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fraction(分数) problems.Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdala and hippocampus. That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's, listening to music can help unlock buried memories.With the evidence of music's benefits pouring in, it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems. People are recognizing that music is more than just a form of entertainment. It's also great for the brain.32.Why do people study music?A.Because music can be used for medical treatment.B.Because our brains can process music in different ways.C.Because music plays a very important role in our lives.D.Because music education has received a lot of attention.33.According to the Canadian study, the IQ scores of which children increased the most?A.Those who had already had high IQs.B.Those who had always played music.C.Those who could not play any instruments.D.Those who studied music for a period of time.34.Which of the following is a kind of disease?A.Alzheimer's.B.Spatial reasoning.C.The medial prefrontal cortex.D.The amygdala and hippocampus.35.What can be the best title for the text?A.Music and health B.Music and mindC.Music and education D.Music and instruments第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Language is a part of our daily life, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people's life. 36 Here are some of their similarities. Both language and music have a writing systemIn English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to make a recording of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and finding meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. 37 For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite uplifting. Both vary with culture 38 In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don't like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music. Both share emotionsHow do you know that I am angry? 39 Similarly, music can sound angry, sorrowful or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song. 40 A.Different cultures make different music.B.Both language and music play a huge role in our life.C.You can guess where someone is from by listening to their language.D.By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time.E.In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down.F.Of course, you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words.G.We have all used music to express our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Should you listen to music when you work?Do you like to listen to music when you work? Ask this question at a party, and you'll probably get 41 responses. Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they find it distracting(令人分心的) and cannot work 42 with music playing in the background. Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these viewpoints can be true. It just 43 on what sort of work you're doing. In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab to perform a variety of tasks. They included a(n) 44 task—searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task—memorizing word pairs and 45 the word to its partner. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, 46 others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instruments being played. Several key findings 47 from our study. We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed almost the same on the easy task. However, participants who listened to 48 music performed best on the easy task. On the contrary, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn't listen to any music.How should we 49 these findings? They suggest that people have limited mental resources on which both 50 and tasks can draw. We can become 51 and our minds may wander when these resources are not fully used. But we can also become overexcited and 52 when these resources are used up. Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less 53 during easier tasks, there's a greater risk of drifting off. Music might give us the extra 54 we need to overcome the monotony(单调乏味). However, difficult tasks already demand a lot of our resources. Listening to music can become too much. So best 55 should appear when we strike the “sweet spot”, which may depend on the type of music and the type of tasks. 41.A.fixed B.similar C.various D.positive42.A.exactly B.effectively C.happily D.immediately43.A.depends B.focuses C.carries D.takes44.A.unpleasant B.familiar C.impossible D.easy45.A.matching B.realizing C.suggesting D.creating46.A.until B.while C.since D.when47.A.faded B.survived C.appeared D.responded48.A.dull B.reliable C.necessary D.complex49.A.make up for B.make outC.make use of D.make up50.A.music B.work C.study D.culture51.A.surprised B.afraid C.proud D.bored52.A.distracted B.interested C.pleased D.worried53.A.disgusted B.embarrassed C.frightened D.engaged54.A.obstacle B.push C.opportunity D.rule55.A.action B.program C.performance D.problem第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Have you ever dreamed of being famous 56 a musician? At first many singers may form a band to practice their music. And then they may get the chance to give 57 (perform) in pubs or clubs. Later they may gradually become popular. However, The Monkees started in 58 different way. They began as a TV show. The TV show organizers had put an advertisement in a newspaper, 59 (look) for rock musicians who could act as well as sing. 60 (honest) speaking, only one of them was good enough and the other three members pretended 61 (sing). So it couldn't 62 (call) a real band in the beginning. Anyhow, 63 they showed to the audience was really creative and they became popular. After a year or so, they worked harder, produced 64 (they) own records and started touring. In about 1970, The Monkees broke up but they reunited in the mid-1980s and in 1996 produced a new record, with 65 they became more successful. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华,你的美国笔友Peter来信与你交流对音乐的看法、喜欢的音乐风格及其原因。请你用英语给他回复一封邮件。注意:1.词数80左右;2.开头已给出,不计入总词数;3.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。Dear Peter,I am very glad to have the chance to share my opinions about music and my favorite music with you.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated life.One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don't have any special skills to share.”Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew near. I couldn't shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way home. I can't help following you here.”Gosh, I couldn't believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world's prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.“You two? The talent show for the food bank?” my mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go on in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you'll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.Emma and I embarked on rehearsing(排练) almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an upset stomach and was not in any shape to perform.注意:续写词数应为150个左右。I was completely knocked out by the news. Finally came the big moment. 答案全解全析第二部分 阅读第一节A ◎语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了四个音乐节的相关信息。21.B 细节理解题。根据四个部分中的“Dates: 28-30 April”“Dates: 21-30 July”“Dates: 21-25 June”“Dates: 18-22 August”可知,Tomorrowland持续的时间最长。故选B。22.B 细节理解题。根据Glastonbury, UK部分中的“Next year will see big names like Elton John take the stage.”和“Venue: Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset”可知,你将在此地举行的音乐节中看到Elton John。故选B。23.C 细节理解题。根据Amsterdam Dance Event, Amsterdam部分中的“At the festival, there are many live performances...”可知,人们可以在该音乐节观看现场电子音乐表演。故选C。B ◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者从小喜欢弹钢琴,但是家里负担不起,迫于无奈,作者只好放弃了弹钢琴。直到儿子出生并对音乐表现出兴趣,作者让他去上钢琴课,同时自己决定重拾钢琴梦。24.C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,由于家庭贫困,作者无法实现弹钢琴的梦想;结合第三段第三句可知,尽管作者童年时家庭贫困,但是她和兄弟姐妹都得到了父母的爱,由此可知她有一个幸福的童年。故选C。25.D 细节理解题。根据第四段第四、五句可知,作者必须做出决定,是继续朝着医学院这个更实际的目标努力,还是继续坚持自己对音乐的热爱,最后实际的一方赢了。所以可知作者放弃钢琴课的主要原因是学业和未来职业的压力。故选D。26.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句可知,作者觉得是时候让那架钢琴重新调音了,这次是为她自己,趁现在还来得及享受。所以可推断出,在不久的将来,作者将重新开始实现她弹钢琴的梦想。故选C。27.A 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句及下文的叙述可知,作者在这篇文章中主要分享她的钢琴故事——小时候迫于无奈放弃了弹钢琴,长大后又重新拾起钢琴梦想。故选A。C ◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人音乐指挥家EveR 6的特点和缺点。28.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“EveR 6 is about as tall as a person, and has a human-like face that can show emotions...different directions.”可知,EveR 6有着栩栩如生的外观。故选B。29.C 词义猜测题。根据上文可知,EveR 6的动作是被训练出来的,根据画线词上下文和选项可知,为了使这些动作尽可能自然,EveR 6的动作都是基于从真实的人类指挥家那里记录到的动作。故选C。30.D 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句和第六段中的“Mr. Choi communicated with the musicians while EveR 6 kept the beat...the musicians had ‘no choice but to follow its beats’.”可知,与EveR 6相比,人类指挥家的优势是会和音乐家们交流。故选D。31.A 主旨大意题。前两段介绍了机器人音乐指挥家EveR 6在外观和动作上与人很接近的特点,其余段介绍了EveR 6和人类指挥家Mr. Choi合作指挥管弦乐队,Mr. Choi指出了EveR 6存在的不足。综上所述,本文主要介绍了指挥管弦乐队的机器人。故选A。D ◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了音乐和大脑的关系,以及学习、演奏乐器或听音乐的益处。32.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,人们研究音乐是因为它在我们的生活中起着重要的作用。故选C。33.D 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知,研究证明,在九个月时间内,学习音乐的孩子的智商提高幅度最大。故选D。34.A 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's”可知,Alzheimer's是一种疾病。故选A。35.B 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段最后一句和文章最后两句可知,这篇文章主要讲的是音乐和大脑的关系。故选B。第二节 ◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了语言和音乐的一些相似性。36.B 过渡句。根据上文可知,语言是我们日常生活的一部分,同样,音乐也是许多人生活的一部分。结合下一句提到的两者的相似之处可推知,此处将语言和音乐联系在一起,B选项“语言和音乐在我们的生活中都扮演着重要的角色”承上启下,符合语境。故选B。37.D 细节句。根据上文“Just as you are reading this collection...hear.”可知,读文章和乐谱都可以带来一定的意义,而下文的举例“we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago”则正是说明了读文章或乐谱所带来的意义可以超越时间。所以D选项“通过阅读文章或乐谱片段,我们能够穿越时间分享经历”符合语境。故选D。38.C 细节句。根据上文中的“Here are some of their similarities.”可知本文介绍语言和音乐的相似之处。根据下文可知,同样地,我们可以通过不同的音乐风格来探索许多不同的文化。所以C选项“你可以通过听他们的语言猜测他们来自哪里”引起下文,符合语境。故选C。39.F 细节句。根据上文的问句“你怎么知道我生气了?”,再结合选项可知,F选项“当然,你也许能从我的脸上看出来,但你会通过我的话确切地知道”承接上文,说明了看出某人生气的可能的方式,符合语境。故选F。40.E 细节句。根据上文可知,当你感到快乐的时候,你可能想唱一首快乐的歌并跟着跳舞,此处提到了感到快乐的情况,结合主旨句可知,本段说明情绪方面的变化与语言和音乐的联系,所以E选项“相反,当你感到沮丧的时候,你可能也听过悲伤的音乐”承接上文,符合语境。故选E。第三部分 语言运用第一节 ◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章就“工作时你应该听音乐吗?”这一问题展开研究,发现音乐到底是提高了工作效率还是分散了注意力可能取决于音乐类型和工作类型。41.C 根据下文“Some will say...others will say...”可知,对于“工作时你是否喜欢听音乐?”这个问题,人们会有各种各样的(various)回答。故选C。42.B 根据上文“others will say they find it distracting”可知,此处指注意力被分散,故不能有效地(effectively)工作。故选B。43.A 根据最后一段中的“depend on the type of music and the type of tasks”可知,音乐是否有助于工作取决于你做什么类型的工作。depend on意为“取决于”。故选A。44.D 根据下文“a more difficult task”可知,前后形成对比,此处指简单的(easy)工作。故选D。45.A 根据上文“memorizing word pairs”和下文“to its partner”可知此处指单词配对(matching)。故选A。46.B 根据设空处前后的“Some...”和“others...”可知,上下文之间是对比关系,while意为“而,然而”,表示对比。故选B。47.C 根据下文“We found that...”可知,研究中出现了(appeared)几个关键发现。故选C。48.D 根据上文“simple music or no music”及“However”一词体现出的转折关系可知,此处表示复杂的(complex)音乐。故选D。49.B 根据下文“They suggest that...”可知,下文是对上文我们如何理解(make out)这些发现的解释。故选B。50.A 上文讨论了听音乐与工作之间的关系,所以此处是指音乐(music)。故选A。51.D “We can become 51 ”与下文“our minds may wander”是并列关系,结合选项可知这里指我们会感到无聊(bored)。故选D。 52.A 根据上文中的“also”一词可知,设空处应和上文中的“our minds may wander”意思相近,结合选项可知此处指分心的(distracted)。故选A。53.D 根据上文“we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks”可知,我们执行简单的任务时通常需要使用较少的脑力资源,一般不会特别投入(engaged)。故选D。54.B 根据下文“we need to overcome the monotony”和上文描述的音乐的积极作用可知,音乐有激励(push)作用。故选B。55.C 根据此处语境和第一段中的“claiming that it improves their performance”可知,此处指最好的工作表现(performance)取决于音乐类型和工作类型。故选C。第二节 ◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了门基乐队成名的过程。56.as 考查介词。be famous as...为固定短语,意为“作为……而著名”。故填as。57.performances 考查名词的数。设空处作give的宾语,结合语境可知此处应用名词,根据空后的pubs和clubs可知,此处指在多个酒吧或俱乐部表演,所以用复数形式。故填performances。58.a 考查冠词。表示“以一种不同的方式”用in a different way。故填a。59.looking 考查现在分词。分析句子可知,设空处应用非谓语动词形式,look与其逻辑主语The TV show organizers构成主动关系,所以用现在分词形式作状语。故填looking。60.Honestly 考查副词。honestly speaking为固定用法,意为“老实说”。此空位于句首,首字母大写。故填Honestly。61.to sing 考查不定式。pretend to do sth.意为“假装做某事”。故填to sing。62.be called 考查被动语态。分析句子可知,it指代前文的乐队,和call之间构成被动关系,且couldn't后跟动词原形。故填be called。63.what 考查主语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导主语从句,从句中缺少宾语,应用what表示“……的东西”。故填what。64.their 考查形容词性物主代词。修饰名词records应用形容词性物主代词。故填their。65.which 考查定语从句。此处是“介词+关系代词”引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a new record,设空处作介词的宾语,指物。故填which。第四部分 写作第一节One possible version:Dear Peter, I am very glad to have the chance to share my opinions about music and my favorite music with you. In my opinion,music plays an important role in our life. It can make us feel relaxed both mentally and physically, thus helping reduce our pressure of study. What's more, it can excite and encourage us whenever we meet trouble because of its comforting and inspiring effect. Besides, music can be of great help for us to understand other cultures. I like both pop music and traditional music. Pop music can bring me excitement and lovely tunes. Traditional music shows me the peaceful side of the world and can even lead me to pursue the true meaning of life.Yours,Li Hua 第二节One possible version:I was completely knocked out by the news. Without Emma's voice to guide me, I would definitely mess up and this wasn't what I had expected! As I stood there, feeling at a loss, a gentle touch on my shoulder brought me back to reality. It was my mum, wearing a comforting smile. After having a brief idea of my story, she said in a firm tone, “You've worked so hard. You can make it on your own.” Memories of countless rehearsal came flooding back, drowning my fears and losses. Determined to spare no effort to participate in it, I adjusted my performance to a solo, practicing in no time.Finally came the big moment. I took a deep breath, stepped onto the stage and glanced at the audience. At first, a wave of nervousness swept over me, my heart pounding violently and my palms sweating. But an inner voice told me that I must keep calm,so as the song progressed, my confidence soared. I poured my emotions into the performance, letting my voice carry my feelings into the air. The crowd watched what had happened in amazement, their applause and cheers echoing in the hall. Facing the overwhelming response, it was at this moment that it suddenly occurred to me that nothing is impossible as long as we put our heart into it and don't give up. 1.B2.B3.C4.B5.C6.C7.C8.C9.B10.C11.B12.C13.B14.C15.B16.A17.B18.A19.A20.B21.B22.B23.C24.C25.D26.C27.A28.B29.C30.D31.A32.C33.D34.A35.B36.B37.D38.C39.F40.E41.C42.B43.A44.D45.A46.B47.C48.D49.B50.A51.D52.A53.D54.B55.C56.as 57.performances 58.a 59.looking 60.Honestly 61.to sing 62.be called 63.what 64.their 65.which

My piano stays in a corner of the small living room. “All pianos have stories,” she said. Suddenly, my piano's story came flooding over me fully, as if I'd always had this tale to tell.I have loved music since childhood. I studied the recorder and moved to the violin, trumpet and guitar. But playing the piano had always been my dream, a dream our family could not afford.I grew up in a Chinese immigrant family in Toronto. My father waited tables in a Chinese restaurant, and my mother worked in a Chinese laundry. Despite our poor childhood, my siblings(兄弟姐妹) and I were always fed with love. I can't remember which birthday it was when my mother spared the money to buy me a doll. Of course, by then I'd outgrown wanting dolls. But she worked too hard to know that and I never told her. I happily and gratefully accepted the doll because I loved the gift and that was her loving me enough to buy it for me.So it was eventually with my piano. It was in my last year of high school. I took piano lessons for about a year before university forced me to stop. I had to make a decision to continue the more practical goal of medical school or my love for music. The practical one in me won. But I also stopped piano lessons because as with my doll, it was too late to learn to play the way I wanted.I moved that piano around with me over the next decade until my son was born. He showed an early interest in music, so I put him in piano lessons.I've come to realize that in pursuit of my career, I've let all personal pleasure fall away. Maybe it's time to get that piano retuned(重新调音) again, this time for myself, before it's too late to enjoy. Maybe that's something we all should do right now.Sometimes a single question can open whole paths of thinking and discovery. So, what is the story of your piano?24.What do we know about the author from the first three paragraphs?A.She was born in a musical family.B.She refused to accept the doll as a gift.C.She had a poor but happy childhood.D.Her parents were too busy to care for her.25.Why did the author stop learning the piano in her last year of high school?A.Because playing the piano was useless to her.B.Because she couldn't afford piano lessons.C.Because her parents forced her to stop.D.Because she faced academic and career pressure.26.What will the author probably do in the near future?A.Ask her son to learn the piano.B.Buy a new piano for herself.C.Restart realizing her piano dream.D.Focus on her medical career.27.What is the author's purpose in writing the article?A.To share her story about an unrealized dream.B.To show the advantage of medicine over music.C.To recall her unfortunate childhood experience.D.To encourage readers to play the piano.CLast Friday, a robot called EveR 6 led an orchestra(管弦乐队) in a performance of Korean music at the National Theater of Korea. EveR 6 is about as tall as a person, and has a human-like face that can show emotions. Its joints (关节) allow it to move its arms quickly and smoothly in many different directions.But EveR 6 doesn't think on its own like some advanced Artificial Intelligence programs. Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform. To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6's movements are based on those captured from real human conductors.In Friday's performance, the National Orchestra of Korea presented a concert titled “Absence”. The concert included five different pieces of music. Two were conducted by EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo-Yeoul Choi, who leads the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. Both conductors worked together on the final piece.Mr. Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. “The robot was able to present such detailed moves much better than I had imagined,” he said.But Mr. Choi added that the robot's biggest weakness was that it couldn't hear. “Some people think that conducting is just a combination of hand waving and keeping the beat,” said Mr. Choi. “But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.”Mr. Choi and EveR 6 both conducted a piece of music called “Sense”. Instead of musical notes, EveR 6 had instructions on how to play the piece. The conductors and musicians had to work together to create the music. Mr. Choi communicated with the musicians while EveR 6 kept the beat. Mr. Choi said that once EveR 6 started, the musicians had “no choice but to follow its beats”.Mr. Choi doesn't think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots can be helpful in situations like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times.28.What do we know about EveR 6 from the text?A.It is an experienced conductor.B.It has a lifelike appearance.C.It is able to listen to music.D.It is much shorter than a person.29.What does the underlined word “captured”in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Stolen. B.Stopped.C.Recorded. D.Hidden.30.What advantage does a human conductor have over EveR 6?A.Waving hands.B.Keeping the beat.C.Having instructions.D.Communicating with musicians.31.What is the text mainly about?A.A robot conducting an orchestra.B.An orchestra having performed in Korea.C.Modern music combined with technology.D.Two conductors getting worldwide recognition.DIn all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts are finding that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain, thus increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves spatial(空间的) reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fraction(分数) problems.Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdala and hippocampus. That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's, listening to music can help unlock buried memories.With the evidence of music's benefits pouring in, it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems. People are recognizing that music is more than just a form of entertainment. It's also great for the brain.32.Why do people study music?A.Because music can be used for medical treatment.B.Because our brains can process music in different ways.C.Because music plays a very important role in our lives.D.Because music education has received a lot of attention.33.According to the Canadian study, the IQ scores of which children increased the most?A.Those who had already had high IQs.B.Those who had always played music.C.Those who could not play any instruments.D.Those who studied music for a period of time.34.Which of the following is a kind of disease?A.Alzheimer's.B.Spatial reasoning.C.The medial prefrontal cortex.D.The amygdala and hippocampus.35.What can be the best title for the text?A.Music and health B.Music and mindC.Music and education D.Music and instruments第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Language is a part of our daily life, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people's life. 36 Here are some of their similarities. Both language and music have a writing systemIn English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to make a recording of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and finding meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. 37 For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite uplifting. Both vary with culture 38 In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don't like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music. Both share emotionsHow do you know that I am angry? 39 Similarly, music can sound angry, sorrowful or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song. 40 A.Different cultures make different music.B.Both language and music play a huge role in our life.C.You can guess where someone is from by listening to their language.D.By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time.E.In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down.F.Of course, you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words.G.We have all used music to express our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Should you listen to music when you work?Do you like to listen to music when you work? Ask this question at a party, and you'll probably get 41 responses. Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they find it distracting(令人分心的) and cannot work 42 with music playing in the background. Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these viewpoints can be true. It just 43 on what sort of work you're doing. In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab to perform a variety of tasks. They included a(n) 44 task—searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task—memorizing word pairs and 45 the word to its partner. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, 46 others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instruments being played. Several key findings 47 from our study. We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed almost the same on the easy task. However, participants who listened to 48 music performed best on the easy task. On the contrary, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn't listen to any music.How should we 49 these findings? They suggest that people have limited mental resources on which both 50 and tasks can draw. We can become 51 and our minds may wander when these resources are not fully used. But we can also become overexcited and 52 when these resources are used up. Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less 53 during easier tasks, there's a greater risk of drifting off. Music might give us the extra 54 we need to overcome the monotony(单调乏味).

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated life.One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don't have any special skills to share.”Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew near. I couldn't shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way home. I can't help following you here.”Gosh, I couldn't believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world's prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.“You two? The talent show for the food bank?” my mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go on in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you'll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.Emma and I embarked on rehearsing(排练) almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an upset stomach and was not in any shape to perform.注意:续写词数应为150个左右。I was completely knocked out by the news.

In my opinion,music plays an important role in our life. It can make us feel relaxed both mentally and physically, thus helping reduce our pressure of study. What's more, it can excite and encourage us whenever we meet trouble because of its comforting and inspiring effect. Besides, music can be of great help for us to understand other cultures. I like both pop music and traditional music. Pop music can bring me excitement and lovely tunes. Traditional music shows me the peaceful side of the world and can even lead me to pursue the true meaning of life.Yours,Li Hua 第二节One possible version:I was completely knocked out by the news. Without Emma's voice to guide me, I would definitely mess up and this wasn't what I had expected! As I stood there, feeling at a loss, a gentle touch on my shoulder brought me back to reality. It was my mum, wearing a comforting smile. After having a brief idea of my story, she said in a firm tone, “You've worked so hard. You can make it on your own.” Memories of countless rehearsal came flooding back, drowning my fears and losses. Determined to spare no effort to participate in it, I adjusted my performance to a solo, practicing in no time.Finally came the big moment. I took a deep breath, stepped onto the stage and glanced at the audience. At first, a wave of nervousness swept over me, my heart pounding violently and my palms sweating. But an inner voice told me that I must keep calm,so as the song progressed, my confidence soared. I poured my emotions into the performance, letting my voice carry my feelings into the air. The crowd watched what had happened in amazement, their applause and cheers echoing in the hall. Facing the overwhelming response, it was at this moment that it suddenly occurred to me that nothing is impossible as long as we put our heart into it and don't give up. 1.B2.B3.C4.B5.C6.C7.C8.C9.B10.C11.B12.C13.B14.C15.B16.A17.B18.A19.A20.B21.B22.B23.C24.C25.D26.C27.A28.B29.C30.D31.A32.C33.D34.A35.B36.B37.D38.C39.F40.E41.C42.B43.A44.D45.A46.B47.C48.D49.B50.A51.D52.A53.D54.B55.C56.as 57.performances 58.a 59.looking 60.Honestly 61.to sing 62.be called 63.what 64.their 65.which
