考点十 体育活动与音乐第一步 精准刷题阅读A(2021·福州市高中毕业班质量检测)I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but I've grown to enjoy lifting weights, and I've learned something from doing it. I enjoy the sense of strength and discipline that comes when the muscles are forced to resist. I've tried varying schedules-lifting every day, every other day, two days on and a day off. The every day approach is the least effective. I get the best strengthening results when I give myself a break.The same is true with mind and spirit. Without giving a chance to reenergize yourself, you begin to break down all the connective fibers of your life. I used to just give myself Sundays off. Now I'm scheduling downtime in the midst of everything-and “everything" includes reading two magazines, building a house in Hawaii, working on an ABC movie-and, oh yeah, my day job. Keeping it all straight was beginning to feel a little stressful. So I told myself that just because I have ten free minutes on my calendar doesn't mean I want to fill them. Breathing space has to become part of my daily routine.So instead of having people lined up outside my office after the first show-I tape two a day-I do nothing for at least ten minutes. The change has worked wonders. I have more energy, and I'm in a better mood for the second show and all the business that comes afterward.Now that I have the summer off to sit under the trees reading, napping, writing, and thinking, I know for sure it's time well spent. I'm refilling my tank so that by fall, when the new season begins, I'll be fired up and ready for whatever is to come. Fully restored.1.What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To arouse readers' concern.B. To summarize the whole passage.C. To state the importance of a good lifestyle.D. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.2.Which of the following does the author agree with?A. Keeping everything straight.B. Resting at any time.C. Taking breaks between tasks.D. Having a full schedule.3. What does the underlined “it” in Para. 2 refer to?A. Everything.B. Building a house.C. My day job.D. Working on a movie.4.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Lifting weights changes people's life,B. A little restoration helps go a long way.C. Why people need to be in high spirits.D. Ten minutes' break will work wonders. 答案:篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在训练举重的过程中发现通过调整日程安排可以达到更好的训练效果，由此联想到这也同祥适用于人的思维和精神层面，适度的休息与调整可以产生更好的效果。1.D [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I get the best strengthening results when I give myself a break.”可知，作者提及自己训练举重的过程与经历，在尝试了多种训练日程安排后发现，给自己休息时间的训练方式更有效，从而引出本文的主题。故选D.]2.C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Now I'm scheduling downtime in the midst of everything”和“Breathing space has to become part of my daily routine,”可知，作者认为在两个任务的间隙需要休息。故选C.] 3.A [指代判断题。根据第二段中的“Now I'm scheduling downtime in the midst of everything”及it所在句可知，此处it指的是“每件事”。故选A.]4.B [主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“I'm refilling my tank so that by fall, when the new season begins, P'll be fired up and ready for whatever is to come.

In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova-not as a musician but as her page turner. “I'm not a trained musician, but I've learRNt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot. ” Mr Titterton explained.Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner,But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back. "Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. “He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life. ”5.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?A. Read music.B. Play the piano.C. Sing songs.D. Fix the instruments.6.Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage?A. Boring.B. Well-paid.C. Demanding.D. Dangerous.7.What does Titterton need to practise?A. Counting the pages.B. Recognizing the “nodding”。C. Catching falling objects.D. Performing in his own style.8. Why is Ms Raspopova's husband “the worse page turner"?A. He has very poor eyesight.B. He ignores the audience.C. He has no interest in music.D. He forgets to do his job.答案:篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了翻谱员 Robert Titterton(罗伯特·蒂特顿)的故事。5.A [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”可知，Titterton作为翻谱员，要会识谱。故选A.]6.C [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A lot of skills are needed for the job.”和第四段中的“Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.”以及文中对翻谱员工作的具体描述可知，Titterton在舞台上的工作需要很多的技巧以及大量的练习。由此可推知，Titterton的工作要求很高。故选C.]7.B [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of 'nodding' to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.”可知，钢琴家和翻谱员在舞台上无声的交流是很重要的，翻谱员要练习领会钢琴家点头的意思。故选B.]8.D[推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say:”可推知，Raspopova(拉斯波波娃)的丈夫对音乐很感兴趣，沉浸于每一个音符，以至于忘了自己要翻乐谱的事，需要人提醒。故选D.] 七选五(2021·北京高考)Music has long been considered to be an enjoyable pastime for many people.  1  The mental health benefits from music can't be argued. Music could also be helping you with many other health problems behind the scenes.2  However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain. By distracting(分心) the mind from the pain, music, people say, can lower stress and anxiety levels. 'This, of course, can lead to less pain.Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed.  3  While the validity of the idea is still being assessed, the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure. Similarly, according to researchers, listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels, through the lowering of stress and anxiety.When it comes to heart health, there is speculation(推测)that it's not the style of music, but rather the tempo that makes it so good for your heart health. In one European study, participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure.  4  On the other hand, when the music slowed, the participants' stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit.5  But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for, which is what makes music so valuable.A. This feeling can also result in many other health problems.B. Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud.C. This idea is a little off-the-wall but still has scientific backing.D. They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep.E. The implications of music on overall well-being are really impressive.F. It is also highly popular due to the individualized effects on stress and anxiety.G. Interestingly, the more cheerful the music was, the faster their heart rates were. 1. ___________     2. ___________     3. ___________     4. ___________     5. ___________     答案:篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐对身体的好处。1.F [设空后说“The mental health benefits from music can't be argued.(音乐对心理健康的益处是毋庸置疑的。)”，F项中的“stress and anxiety”呼应了“mental health benefits”。F项(由于对压力和焦虑的个体化影响，音乐也很受欢迎。)符合语境。故选F.]2.B[设空后说“However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain.(然而，同样的道理，当一个人处于痛苦中时，音乐可以是非常有益的。)”，However表转折，因此设空处应为对音乐的负面评价。B项中的“harmful”对应负面评价。B项(一些专家说，如果声音太大，音乐可能是有害的。)符合语境。故选B.]3.D[设空前说“Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed.(许多人喜欢在晚上睡觉前听些轻松的音乐。)”，D项中的＂sleep"和“going to bed相呼应，D项(他们说它对于让大脑平静下来从而入睡有着重要作用。)符合语境。故选D.]4.G [设空前说＂In one European study, participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure.(在欧洲的一项研究中，参与者听音乐，研究人员监测他们的心率和血压。”，G项中的“heart rates"和前面的“heart rates”相呼应，且和设空后的“On the other hand, when the music slowed”形成对比。G项(有趣的是，音乐越欢快，他们的心率就越快。)符合语境。故选G.] 5.E [设空后说“But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for, which is what makes music so valuable.(但是，开着收音机还可以对一系列其他的健康问题有益，这就是音乐如此有价值的原因。)”，因此本段应是总结音乐对身体的好处。E项(音乐对整体健康的影响是非常令人印象深刻的。)总结上文，符合语境。故选E.] 第二步 精深学习阅读A(2021·东北三省四城市联考暨沈阳市高三质量监测(二))Fauja Singh, 110, who broke marathon records and was called the “Superman” before hanging up his running shoes seven years ago, will be the subject of a Bollywood film, Fauja, tracing his remarkable career.Mr Singh, born in India in 1911, was a keen amateur runner in his youth, but gave it up halfway.

The hill out of the starting gate looked so scary and steep that I backed off. My parents took me back for another try the next week. I fell almost immediately but still managed to win second place. I've loved racing ever since.I turned pro at 15, which isn't possible now: You have to be 17 to compete professionally. Around the time I went pro, BMX became an Olympic sport and I decided to pursue it after high school. I'm the youngest woman with a professional title in the United States.BMX isn't judged on tricks or how you handle barriers, but it's an extreme sport. It's like horse racing mixed with riding a roller coaster. It starts with a huge burst of speed-I go 40 mph by the time I'm two and a half seconds out of the gate. Then I try to come out in front of seven competitors at the end of the track, which includes 40-foot jumps. I keep chasing the high that comes from prestart nervousness, big jumps, and the feeling of crossing the finish line first.Strength and balance are key in competition, so I work out at least five days a week to prepare. I do tons of resistance and agility(灵活)training, both on and off the bike. I also do mental drills with a sports psychologist to make sure I'm focused and confident going into competition. If I make a mistake on the course, I have to move on. Everyone is out to beat me; I need to concentrate on winning so my competitors can't capitalize on an error and pass me!I was so proud to win a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio, but I felt I was capable of gold, so that will push me to do better. I'm continually working to reach my potential in the sport. Until I feel completely satisfied, I'll keep coming back.5.What do we know about the author?A. She withdrew from her first BMX race.B.

We should not, therefore, waste our time learning facets by rote(死记硬背)，simply to pass exams. But the training of the mind to remember crucial pieces of information and to exercise is a vital part of our personal development.We should not underestimate (低估) how much children can learn. In memorizing lines of poetry or play scripts, children's minds are spongelike(海绵状)．  2  Properly engaged, the sky is the limit.In recent years, however, the Internet has given us pause to re-visit the debate of skills versus knowledge and to look at what we need to commit to memory.No one would argue about the value of learning information by heart, but there is a lot more “knowledge” to choose from now and we have better tools by which to sort, gather and store knowledge.  3  They lead us to focus instead on improving the technical and kills required to sort, prioritize and use the knowledge that lie there in. That fact, above all others, should be reflected in our schools. For decades, schools have been notorious(臭名昭著的)for teaching the same topics or “facts”.  4  I recently found my late father's History exercise book with its notes copied from some authoritative tome(巨著)，but without any real explanation or analysis. Ox-bow lakes were one favourite topic that my father learned about at school, that I learned about at school and then taught to my pupils in turn. Why? Why ox-bow lakes? Why nuclear physics and not nanotechnology(纳米技术)？How do we choose?That is our responsibility.  5  The important questions, however, should always be; What specific skills and prior knowledge do our children need to make sense of facts? How well equipped are they already to analyze all of this extra information? And how do we change our teaching to achieve these very different outcomes? That is the challenge facing our schools. A. Nor should we place limits on what the brain can do.B. The Internet can be our memory and we should therefore entirely rely on it.C. At school, these facts are usually delivered to us to prepare us for jobs in the future.D. Teaching facts is as important in education as it ever was.E. Change, educational change, is slow indeed, in almost every subject.F. Wikipedia and Google have changed what we need to commit to memory.G. We should, however also spend our time remembering facts.1. ___________     2. ___________     3. ___________     4. ___________     5. ___________    答案:篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。作者一方面肯定了相对固化的教学内容的重要性，同时又提出在信息时代背景下学校教学活动面临的挑战。1.C [根据上文“Either consciously or not, we spend our lives continually gathering knowledge, information, facts which help define who we are.(不管你有没有注意到，我们一生都在不断地收集知识、信息和事实，这些知识、信息和事实有助于定义我们是谁。)”和下文“Each fact learned, each skill acquired should have a purpose.(所学到的每一个事实，所掌握的每一项技能都应该有一个目的。)”可知，C项(在学校里，这些事实通常被传递给我们，让我们为将来的工作做好准备。)承上启下。故选C.]2.A [根据下文“Properly engaged, the sky is the limit.”可知，合理地开发使用大脑，大脑的功能无可限量。A项(我们也不应该限制大脑的功能。)中的“limit”与下文呼应。故选A.]3.F[上文提到，但现在有更多的“知识”可供选择，我们有更好的工具来分类、收集和存储知识。其中“better tools”指的是F项中的“Wikipedia and Google”。F项(维基百科和谷歌已经改变了我们需要记忆的东西。)承接上文，符合语境。故选F.]4.E[根据上文“For decades, schools have been notorious ( 臭名昭著的) for teaching the same topics or 'facts'.(几十年来，学校因教授相同的主题或“事实＇而臭名昭著。)”可知，学校的教育内容几十年几乎没有改变过。E项(几乎在每一门学科中，教育变革确实是缓慢的。)符合语境。故选E.]5.D [根据下文“The important questions, however, should always be: What specific skills and prior knowledge do our children need to make sense of facts?(然而，重要的问题应该始终是：我们的孩子需要什么样的具体技能和知识来理解事实？)”可知，设空处肯定了教授事实这种教育活动的重要性。D项(在教育中，教授事实和以前一样重要。)引出下文，符合语境。故选D.] 在语篇中提升1.event(A篇第三段)熟义 n. ___________ (2020·江苏高考)Success depends fundamentally on our view of ourselves and of the events in our lives. 成功从根本上取决于我们对自己和___________的看法。生义 n. ___________ (2019·全国卷II)When they were free from work, they invited us to local events and let us know of an interesting competition to watch, together with the story behind it. 当下班后，他们邀请我们参加当地的___________，让我们知道一场有趣的比赛，以及背后的故事。短语 in the event___________ (牛津高阶)I was worried about the hotel bill, but in the event I had enough money to pay. 我一直担心旅馆的费用，___________我的钱足够。  2.manage v. ______________________ (B篇第一段)→management n. ______________________  单句语法填空The first step in information___________ is identifying content to be___________·(manage)3.burst v. ___________ n. ___________(B篇第三段)      (1)单句语法填空①He burst___________ on the meeting.②She was___________ (burst) to tell him the good news.(2)翻译The driver lost control when a tire burst.______________________司机失去了控制。4.engaged(七选五第三段)→engagement n. ______________________        单句语法填空①His father engaged a tutor___________ (improve) her maths.②About so percent of people between 18 and 20 years old have started to engage___________ investment and finance.③China's___________ (engage) with African countries has been shaped by friendship, trust and mutual respect.答案:1.发生的事情；(尤指)重要事情，大事 发生的事情(体育运动的)比赛项目 赛事 结果；到头来 结果2.勉力完成；管理，处理；操纵 经营，管理，安排单句语法填空management; managed3.爆炸，爆裂 突发，迸发 急于(或迫切想)做某事 使某人希望破灭；毁掉某人的幸福 突然闯进而打断(或扰乱)突然爆发某事(1)单句语法填空①in  ②bursting(2)翻译一只轮胎爆裂时4.约定，约会；订婚；(与·的)密切关系 忙着的；占用着的；订婚的 与某人订婚 忙于(做)某事；参与(做某事)参与占用；使加人；雇佣；订婚 雇佣某人为聘用／雇用某人做某事(使某人)参加／从事某事单句语法填空①to improve  ②in  ③engagement
