A
After four silent years, the 27yearold British singer Adele Adkins has finally introduced herself to the world again with Hello, the opening song from her third album 25, which will come out on Nov. 20.
Although Adele is a very successful singer now, music wasn't always what she saw herself doing. At age 10, when she saw her grandmother's pain over the death of Adele's grandfather, she pictured herself as a heart surgeon.
“I wanted to fix people's hearts，”she told the UK music website iD, remembering the childhood interest she'd had in biology classes until she found out that her real talent was for singing.
Adele didn't go to medical school, but many would agree that she still has healing (治愈) powers. “Her songs find the kind of memory every listener holds somewhere in their heart. This kind of feeling is what people have always liked in Adele，” said The Telegraph.“She writes a pop diary, sharing the simple secrets of her heart.”
Most successful pop stars make albums at a fast pace, but not Adele. After her second album 21 won the 2012 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, she made it clear, with her label that she would spend “four or five years” making her next album. She told Vogue magazine, “I won't come out with new music until it's better than 21.”
Instead of seeking fame, Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time, she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom, American Horror Story, and The Walking Dead.
Living life as normally as possible is important to the singer's art. “Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone who's not living in the real world，”Adele told iD. “So I live a lowkey life for my fans.”

(2020·甘肃省会宁一中高三第一次月考)There was a man playing the piano in a bar. He was a good piano player and always performed in this bar. People came in just to hear him play. But one night, a customer told him that he didn't want to hear him just play the piano any more. He wanted him to sing a song.
The man said, “I don't sing.” But the customer was persistent (执着的). He told the bar manager, “I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want that man to sing！” The manager shouted across the room, “If you want to get paid, sing a song. Our customers are asking you to sing！”So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time. And everyone was surprised by his song Mona Lisa. He got lots of applause (掌声) that night.
He had such a talent for singing, but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years! If without such a chance, he may have lived the rest of his life as a noname piano player in a noname bar. However, now he has become one of the bestknown singers in America.
You, too, have skills and abilities. Maybe your “talent” is not as great as the singer above, but it may be better than you think! And with effort, most skills can be improved. So, in your life, you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!

Ⅱ.七选五
(2019·浙江高考)Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music. 1 At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. 2 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends (传说). John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.
3 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. 4 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion (入侵) by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 5
A．They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.
B．Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.
C．Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s.
D．However, their songs changed the lives of generations to come.
E．Many rock bands were able to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles.
F．They appeared in the films A Hard Day's Night (1964)and Help(1965)．
G．They performed their first concert in America at CBS television's 53rd street studio.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了甲壳虫乐队的发展与兴盛以及他们对英美摇滚乐的影响。
1．C 空格后面的“At that time”决定了该空一定要出现具体的时间，再根据文章一开始出现的Rock music可知C项为正确答案。
2．B 由空格前一句可知，甲壳虫乐队在当时的英国相当受欢迎。B项“就连他们的发型都成了当时的流行趋势”承接上文。故选B项。
3．A 前面提到甲壳虫乐队在英国特别受欢迎。由空格后一句可知，他们不确定美国人对这种新型的音乐会有什么反应。因此，A项“他们决定在1964年开始他们的美国之旅”符合语境。
4．G 空格后一句与G项中的concert相呼应。
5．E 空格前一句中的new faces与E项中的follow相呼应。
Ⅲ.语法填空
(2020·陕西省部分学校第一学期摸底检测)Recently researchers have had a finding 1 singing in groups could have a positive impact on reducing 2 (anxious) and depression. The research is from the University of East Anglia in the UK, in cooperation with a community singing group 3 (call) Sing Your Heart Out.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，合唱可以缓解压力，减少沮丧，有利于精神健康。
1．that 考查同位语从句的连接词。设空处引导从句解释说明a finding的内容，作其同位语，设空处在句中不作句子成分，无语意，仅起连接作用，故用that。
2．anxiety 考查词性转换。本空作reducing的宾语，与depression并列，故用名词anxiety。
3．called 考查非谓语动词。call和a community singing group构成被动关系，故用其过去分词形式called作后置定语。
4．to examine 考查非谓语动词。此处表示一个研究小组进行该研究是为了调查与他人一起唱歌是如何影响精神健康的，表目的，故用动词不定式to examine。
5．who/that 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，此处引导限制性定语从句，先行词为people，从句中缺少主语，故填who或that。
6．an 考查冠词。part在此处为可数名词，且在文中第一次提及，故用不定冠词修饰，又essential的发音以元音音素开头，故填an。
7．less 考查副词的比较级。根据下文“enhanced their mood ... feeling of well－being”可知，合唱帮助人们缓解压力，即帮助人们感受到更少的压力，故用副词的比较级less，修饰其后的形容词“stressed”。
8．to 考查介词。contribute to sth.是固定搭配，意为“有助于/促成某事”，故填to。
9．participants 考查名词。participant “参与者”为可数名词，根据空前的“All of the”可知，此处表示复数的概念，故填participants。
10．represented 考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语；根据后一句中的stood out及全文的基本时态为一般过去时可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填represented。

Dear Peter，
I am very glad to have the chance to share my opinions about music and my favorite music with you. Music plays an important role in our life. First, it can make us feel relaxed both mentally and physically, thus helping reduce our pressure in study. Second, it can excite and encourage us whenever we meet troubles. What's more, music can have a comforting effect when we are worried and help us out of trouble. Besides, music can be of great help on the way to understanding other cultures.
I like both pop music and traditional music. Pop music can bring me both excitement and lovely tunes. Traditional music brings me different pleasures. It can show me the peaceful side of the world and can even tell me the true meaning of life.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
