Unit 5 Music ‎(建议用时：35分钟)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2020·桂林、崇左联合模拟)Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp(竖琴), near Alexandria’s historic waterfront.‎ A glass harp is made up of differentsized drinking glasses, each containing water. Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical sound.‎ Turner is 78 years old now. He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table. He has been playing it for 50 years.‎ Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound. Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound. The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.‎ Turner always uses lowpriced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound. Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores.‎ The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument. There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on the Internet. He hopes the next generation will continue making their music. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　杰米·特纳经常在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大人群密集的地方演奏玻璃竖琴：敲击不同大小的盛水的玻璃杯，发出动听的乐声。他不仅能演奏玻璃竖琴专门乐曲，还能用它演奏中国流行音乐。‎ ‎1．What do we know about Turner?‎ 7‎ A．He began playing the glass harp at six.‎ B．He often teaches glass harp lessons online.‎ C．He is a great master of the Chinese language.‎ D．He was inspired by his father to learn the glass harp.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.”可知，在六岁时，杰米·特纳听到父亲在餐桌上用一玻璃杯水演奏音乐，开始对玻璃竖琴产生兴趣。据此可知，D项正确。‎ ‎2．What does the author say about the glass harp?‎ A．Its inventor is Wolfgang Mozart.‎ B．It is made up of glasses of the same size.‎ C．It appears to be gaining in popularity today.‎ D．Its sounds are affected by the amount of water in the glasses.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第三、四句“He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound.”可知，杯子中的水量不同，产生的音调也不同；添加或去掉少量水就会改变声音。据此可知，玻璃竖琴的声音受杯子中水量的影响，故D项正确。‎ ‎3．Why does Turner prefer to use cheap glass?‎ A．To save money.‎ B．To produce better sounds.‎ C．To help recycle drinking glasses.‎ D．To increase difficulty in performing.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Turner always uses lowpriced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound.”可知，特纳总是使用低价玻璃杯是因为其声音听起来比昂贵的水晶杯好听，故B项正确。‎ ‎4．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A．A Musician Pleases Crowds by Playing Glasses B．Playing the Glass Harp: a New Trend C．Jamey Turner’s Dream Coming True D．Wonderful Music Has No Borders A　解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段“Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical 7‎ ‎ instrument, the glass harp(竖琴), near Alexandria’s historic waterfront.”并结合全文其他内容可知，本文主要讲述了一位音乐家为人群演奏玻璃竖琴的故事。故A项最适合作本文标题。B项意为“演奏玻璃竖琴：一种新趋势”，与文章最后一段中的“Few people play the glass harp these days”不符；C项意为“杰米·特纳的梦想实现了”，文章未提及；D项意为“美妙的音乐没有国界”，偏离主题。‎ ‎【难句分析】　A glass harp is made up of differentsized drinking glasses, each containing water.‎ 分析：本句是一个简单句。该句中的“each containing water”为独立主格结构，作句子的伴随状语，be made up of意为“由……组成”。‎ 译文：一个玻璃竖琴由不同大小的玻璃杯组成，每个玻璃杯里盛着水。‎ B ‎(2020·甘肃高考诊断)Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a__silly__belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.‎ Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U．S. and elsewhere.‎ However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group. WuTang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.‎ In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan—a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name—and Shaolin Temple. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to WuTang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!‎ I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life. “Be formless, shapeless, like water，” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.‎ ‎【解题导语】　中国功夫对西方人有很大的影响。本文作者受一支嘻哈乐队的影响，‎ 7‎ 对中国功夫产生了浓厚的兴趣，而中国功夫背后蕴含的一些观念帮助作者战胜了生活中的很多困难。‎ ‎5．What does the underlined phrase “a silly belief” in paragraph 1 refer to?‎ A．All Chinese people can do kung fu.‎ B．China is most famous for its kung fu.‎ C．Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.‎ D．Many Westerners admire kung fu.‎ A　解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a__silly__belief．”可知，This指代西方人认为中国人都知道如何练功夫这一想法，由此可知，这个荒唐的想法就是，所有中国人都会功夫。故选A。‎ ‎6．What inspired the author’s interest in kung fu?‎ A．Hong Kong action movies.‎ B．A TV program about kung fu.‎ C．Kung fu stars in Hollywood.‎ D．A U．S. hip hop group.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，作者对中国功夫的兴趣其实是由一支嘻哈乐队激发的，这个乐队的名字叫作“武当派”。故选D。‎ ‎7．What do we know about the WuTang Clan?‎ A．They have Chinese culture in their songs.‎ B．They taught the author how to do Wudang quan.‎ C．They performed Chinese martial arts in the U．S.‎ D．They showed the author the way to live in China.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句可知，在武当派的歌曲中，有时会提到一些武当拳和少林寺中的哲学观念，武当拳是中国的一种武术，也是乐队名字的由来。因此他们的歌曲中会体现出中国文化。故选A。‎ ‎8．What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A．The author was sorry that he couldn’t do kung fu.‎ B．The concepts of kung fu change over time.‎ C．The spirit of kung fu helps the author overcome difficulties.‎ D．Bruce Lee was the most popular martial arts master.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者对中国功夫背后的一些观念有很大的兴趣，并在其中学会了一些道理。李小龙的一句名言告诉作者，在面对困难的时候，要通过改变自身的态度和信念去不断适应从而战胜困难。故选C。‎ 7‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎(2020·江西高三模拟)‎ How to Protect Your Ears You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You have to shout to be heard. 1.________ So no harm done...right?‎ Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious—and irreversible(不能治愈的)—hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in twenty have mild hearing loss. 2.________ But the good news is that there are plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage—and still listen to the music you love.‎ Ask around. Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you’re listening to. 3.________ Turn it down.‎ Buy noisecanceling headphones. A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volume.‎ Take breaks. 4.________ So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.‎ ‎5．________ You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts—or while playing or practicing your own music—without changing the quality of the sound.‎ A．Use earplugs.‎ B．Keep the volume below 70 percent.‎ C．If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.‎ D．But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.‎ E．Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.‎ F．Unfortunately, there’s no way to get back hearing you’ve already lost.‎ G．The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了几种保护听力的方法，包括询问身边的人音乐的音量、购买噪音消除耳机、定时休息和使用耳塞。‎ ‎1．D　解析：根据上文可知，某个周五晚上的音乐会让你耳鸣；结合空处后一句“So no 7‎ ‎ harm done...right？”可知，耳朵似乎并没有受到伤害；据此可推知，空处应表示转折，故D项“但是到了早上，你的听力完全恢复正常”符合语境。‎ ‎2．F　解析：根据空处后一句“But the good news is that there are plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage—and still listen to the music you love.”可知，但好消息是，有很多方法可以保护你的耳朵免受进一步的伤害，同时还能继续听你喜欢的音乐。据此可推知，空处与此句为转折关系，故F项“不幸的是，你已经丧失的听力无法恢复”衔接上下文，符合语境。‎ ‎3．C　解析：空处上文是说当你戴上耳塞或耳机时，问一下你身边的朋友是否能听见你听的内容，再结合空后一句“Turn it down.”可知，C项“如果答案是肯定的，那你的音乐太大声了”符合语境。‎ ‎4．E　解析：根据该段小标题Take breaks.并结合空处后一句“So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.”可知，该段主要建议让耳朵定时休息，故E项与此处匹配。‎ ‎5．A　解析：根据文章的结构以及空处所在的位置可知，空处为该段的小标题；根据该段的内容可知，你可以在任何一家药店买到一副便宜的耳塞，可以用于降低音乐会的音量。据此可知，该段主要建议准备一副耳塞，故A项正确。‎ Ⅲ.语法填空 ‎(2020·陕西摸底检测)Recently researchers have had a finding 1.____________ singing in groups could have a positive impact on reducing 2.____________(anxious) and depression.
