（2022·新疆·乌市一中高一期中）Can you imagine a world without music? Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Even worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students’ academic growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.
Recent studies Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.
Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student’s sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about smoke and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to smoke. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.
Music crosses language, class and culture. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.
The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.
4．What can we learn about education with music classes?
A．It allows schools to make more money.
B．It can cause a lot of academic problems.
C．It will affect the world cultural communication greatly.
D．It does good to students’ academic success and spiritual health.
5．What do the two studies seem to show?
A．Students with great success attend music lessons.
B．Music classes play an important role in students’ academic performance.
C．Not all students could have music classes at school.
D．Students who have music classes do better in all subjects.
6．What does the example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggest?
A．Japan has a good relationship with America.
B．Different cultures have different styles of music.
C．Music makes cross-cultural communication possible.
D．Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano.
7．What is the best title for the text?

（2021·湖北武汉·高一期末）At first sight, Alma Deutscher, a sixteen-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical teenager. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplayed(淡化)her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music world.
Alma’s opera based on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming, a poet through a song. “In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad—but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the girls of the country to sing the end of the ballad.”
The opera was first performed in Vienna, Austria on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, one in Australia and the other in China.
While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on.”
Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.
Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the sixteen-year-old is changing the world of music forever!
8．Which of the following statement about Alma is WRONG?
A．She can play the piano and the violin skillfully.
B．She can write operas and compose music as well.
C．Her talent goes far beyond that of Mozart.
D．She displayed her talent for music at an early age.
9．What does the underlined word “twist”(Para 2) most probably mean?
A．Disadvantage. B．Change. C．Improvement. D．Error.
10．What do we know about Alma’s Cinderella?
A．Cinderella meets her Mr. Right through a song.
B．It is a short opera based on the classic fairy tale.
C．The prince finds her with the help of a crystal shoe.
D．It enjoys a great success and has been performed in China.
11．What was Alma’s parents’ attitude to her fame?
A．Overexcited. B．Concerned. C．Happy. D．Shocked.

（2022·福建泉州·高一期末）For musicians and their fans alike, it’s hard to beat the excitement of a live concert. For fans gathering with others and seeing their favorite musicians face to face is an excitement. For musicians, concerts allow them to connect with their listeners and increase their income.

Some fans will buy tickets for online concerts. But no one knows if they’ll be willing to pay as much as they would for a live concert.
On the other hand, free online concerts are a good way to attract new fans. And they can inspire fans to buy music. Free concerts may be a good business decision after all.

When I was a little girl, I knew that I had a gift for music. Playing was my love. While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun, playing childish games, I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano. When I played, I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy. All I had to worry about was my music. Playing was never boring for me.
I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came. It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition. The music hall was packed with excited audience. I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me. As the fellow competitors were playing. I couldn’t keep my mind on their music. I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings. I had known my music was like the back of my hand. But this time, to my great surprise, I found my fingers completely out of my control. They kept shaking. I nearly burst into tears. Seeing this, mom held my hands tightly in hers. She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up. Then she whispered to my ear, “Sweetie, take it easy. Just listen and enjoy the music.”
I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time. A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano. He looked calm and confident. His fingertips danced on the keyboard. The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air. For a moment, I totally forgot my nervousness.

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了音乐的种类和音乐的作用。
36．
考查冠词和动词短语。句意：音乐在日常生活中起着重要的作用，世界上有不同类型的音乐，如布鲁斯，黑人音乐，摇滚，朋克的舞蹈音乐，迪斯科，爵士，古典音乐，说唱，流行音乐等。play an important part in…“在……起重要作用”，固定搭配。故填an。
37．
考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意：在一些特殊的地方，人们总是被悦耳的音乐所吸引，比如广告、收音机、电视、电影和超市。use“使用”，动词作谓语；结合句意可知，本句介绍事实，谓语动词需用一般现在时态；此处it指音乐，与空处动词use之间是被动关系，所以空处需用一般现在时态的被动语态：be done，主语是第三人称单数，所以be动词需用is。故填is used。
38．
考查定语从句。句意：同上。空处需用关系词引导定语从句，先行词是places，指地点，关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，所以空处需用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
39．
考查非谓语动词。句意：为什么这么多人喜欢音乐?like to do sth./doing sth.“喜欢做某事”，固定搭配，所以空处需用动词不定式或动名词作宾语。故填enjoying/to enjoy。
40．
考查介词短语。句意：在我看来，通常我们更喜欢通过音乐来表达，所以我们可以与他人分享很多感情。in my opinion“在我看来”，介词短语，符合题意；句首单词首字母需大写。故填In。
41．
考查比较级。句意：当我们工作后感到疲倦或紧张时，听音乐能使我们感到更放松和更好。由空前more relaxed可知，空处需用形容词good的比较级better作动词feel的表语。故填better。
42．
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：听音乐可以帮助我们面对生活中遇到的困难，让我们忘记一些问题。由空后动词“meet”可知，空处谓语动词需用一般现在时态，动名词作主语，谓语动词需用单数。故填helps。
43．
考查代词。句意：同上。修饰空后名词life需用形容词性物主代词our。故填our。
44．
考查名词的数。句意：此外，我们可以更多地了解不同国家的文化，然后更好地了解世界。country“国家”，可数名词；different后需接可数名词复数。故填countries。
45．
考查形容词。句意：音乐使我们的生活丰富多彩。分析句子结构可知，空处需用形容词作宾语补足语；color对应的形容词为colorful/colourful“丰富多彩的”。故填colorful/colourful。
46．Good morning, everyone,
My name is Li Hua. When it comes to music, we have our own stories. As for me, music actually offered me enough power to overcome shortcomings. When failing in the middle exam, I felt so upset that I refused to communicate with my friends, even my parents. When I heard some inspiring songs, which gave me confidence, I gradually ignored the failure and spared no efforts to study hard. Finally, I made great progress in the final exam. From my experience, I hope that you can obtain the power which music offers to achieve your own dreams.
Thanks for listening.

47．Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again. It seemed that thousands of butterflies were really flying in my stomach. My mother gave me a pat on the back and said softly, “Just enjoy it, honey!” I found encouragement and confidence in her eyes. I got up, climbed up the stage steps and bowed to the audience. I tried my best to keep calm. I slowly placed my hands on the keyboard, took a deep breath and started to play. To my delight, everything seemed unbelievably smooth.
Suddenly my fingers slipped and I hit a wrong note. I could clearly feel the disappointment from the crowd’s deep sigh. “Just enjoy it!” Mum’s words echoed in my ears. I continued playing as if nothing had happened. Soon I found myself absorbed in the familiar music world again. Eventually, when I finished my last note, the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering, which was totally out of my expectation. Though I didn’t win the champion, I knew I had learned something more valuable. I realized that learning to enjoy music was more important than the competition itself.

本文以我弹钢琴为线索。我喜欢弹钢琴，并且为Alberta音乐比赛准备了很久，当时在台下等的时候我变得越来越紧张，手指不受控制，一直颤抖。此时母亲在旁边安慰我，并让我认真欣赏。此时我就注意到了台上的一个男孩，冷静，自信地弹奏着，舒适的音乐回荡在这个音乐厅。渐渐地，我就忘记了自己的紧张。就在这时主持人宣布，该我弹奏了，我又开始紧张起来……
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“主持人宣布该我弹奏了，我又开始紧张起来”可知，本段可以写在主持人叫到自己的名字后，母亲鼓励我，我尽自己最大的努力冷静下来，然后开始演奏。
②由第二段首句内容“突然我手一滑，弹错了一个调”可知，本段可以写我弹错曲调后，观众的反应以及我如何应对。最终提出自己的感想。
2.续写线索：主持人宣布该我弹奏→我开始紧张→母亲鼓励→我鼓起勇气，开始演奏→弹错曲调→观众的反应，我如何应对→赢得掌声→感悟。
