(2021·昆明市摸底调测)
A study of 500,000 songs released (发行) in the UK between 1985 and 2015 showed that pop music had decreased in happiness and increased in sadness.
In a report published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood.“‘Happiness’ is going down, ‘sadness’ is going up, and at the same time, the songs are becoming more ‘danceable’ and more ‘party-like’，” co-author Natalia L．Komarova told The Associated Press.
The study found songs in 2014 like Stay With Me by Sam Smith, Whispers by Passenger and Unmissable by Gorgon City have a “low happiness” trend.However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen, Would I Lie To You? by Eurythmics and Freedom by Wham! had a“ high happiness” trend.“The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year，” the researchers wrote.
Apart from the emotional trends, researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend, with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s.“So it looks like, while the overall mood is becoming less happy, people seem to want to forget it all and dance，” Komarova wrote in an email.
It was also found that the “maleness” of songs—the frequency of male singers in popular music—had decreased during the last 30 years.“Successful songs are characterised by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs，” they wrote.
This discovery appears at a time when the conversation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height, with more male artists and songwriters.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了流行音乐表达的情绪的变化趋势。
1．The researchers examined lots of songs to D .
A．find songs for dances and parties
B．choose songs for a journal
C．release more songs
D．know better about songs
解析：推理判断题。文章第二段介绍了加州大学的研究者们调查了成千上万的歌曲并把它们按情绪分类，紧接着得出歌曲分类的结果，可见他们调查歌曲的目的是想对歌曲有更多的了解。故选D。A、C两项曲解文意；B项无中生有。
2．Whose music style tends to bring you more happiness？ D
A．Natalia L．Komarova's.　 B．Sam Smith's.
C．Gorgon City's.　 D．Bruce Springsteen's.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen...had a ‘high happiness’ trend.”可知D项正确。Natalia L．Komarova为报道的合著者，而非歌手；Sam Smith、Gorgon City所演唱的歌曲有让人开心感降低的趋势，故排除。
3．What do we know about songs over the past three decades？ A
A．Rock became popular in the early 2000s.
B．Fewer unhappy songs came to light every year.
C．Male singers were better at performing pop music.
D．Female artists were less skilled in writing songs.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s”可知，摇滚乐在21世纪初开始流行。故A项正确。其余三个选项的内容均与文意不符。
4．What can be a suitable title for the text？ A
A．Pop Music Is Getting Sadder
B．Music Calls for Sex Equality
C．Pop Music Has a Long History
D．Music Industry Is Going Down
解析：标题判断题。根据文章首段总述及后续段落的描述可知，全文重点介绍了流行音乐正变得越来越伤感。故选A项。B项仅是文章中提到的一个细节；C项不是文章的重点；D项扩大外延，属过度概括，故排除。

(2020·郑州市高中毕业年级第三次质检)
I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in financial trouble, so she said politely, “Sorry, son, but we can't now.”
I searched the measurements on the Internet for a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my Grade 1 after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn't afford lessons again. I passed Grade 3, and then Grade 5, practicing only on my piece of paper. One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me—it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time that I played for her and she was in shock.
My school didn't offer music A-level. I found The Purcell School for young musicians, but the tryouts were difficult. Some of the questions even involved an evaluation of the composer. I was at a loss. But to my amazement, I was offered a place. At Purcell，I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano. When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and academic music prize. I'm now at the Guildhall School of Drama & Music in London. I feel proud—it's been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I'm at one of the world's leading music schools. Surprisingly, I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano, which we call mental practice. The paper piano helped promote my curiosity about how music works.
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。作者11岁的时候想上钢琴课，但由于家境贫寒，母亲无法承担起钢琴课费用。自此，作者开始通过在纸上画琴键练习钢琴，母亲看出作者是认真的，借钱给作者买了十节钢琴课。八节课后作者参加了一级考试。之后作者又经历了无琴可弹的局面，但作者从不放弃，一直努力，并最终进入了世界领先的音乐学校之一。
5．Why did the mother buy the author piano lessons？ B
A. She believed he had a talent for piano.
B．She found he was eager to learn piano.
C．She was shocked by his first performance.
D．She got out of her family's financial difficulties.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.”可知，作者的母亲给作者买钢琴课是因为看到了作者对学钢琴的渴望。故B项正确。
6．Which of the following words best describes the author？ D
A．Honest.　　 B．Cautious.
C．Clever. 　　 D．Determined.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I spent six months playing without touching a real piano.”，第三段中的“I passed Grade 3，and then Grade 5，practicing only on my piece of paper.”和第四段中的“At Purcell，I spent two years working as hard as I could...it's been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I'm at one of the world's leading music schools.”可知，作者通过自己十年来不懈的坚持和努力，终于进入了世界领先的音乐学校之一。故D项“意志坚定的”最能概括作者的性格特征。
7．What might be the best title for the passage？ B
A．Mental practice makes perfect
B．Paper piano leads me to success
C．Mother supports my music career
D．Hard times make my dream come true
解析：标题判断题。结合文章大意和最后一段中的“The paper piano helped promote my curiosity about how music works.”可以判断，整篇文章主要讲述的是作者通过在纸上练习钢琴最终实现了自己的音乐梦想。故B项最适合作文章的标题。

Ⅲ.语法填空
Confucius (孔子) is honored 1.for setting the tone for much traditional Chinese music for thousands of years. He 2.is thought (think) to be a great educator. However, he is also a 3.talented (talent) musician who was able to play several instruments expertly. Perhaps nowadays for people around the world, music 4.is meant (mean) mainly for amusement. But during the time of the Zhou Dynasty about 500 BC, music had an important role in making society stable.
How music was used and performed is expressed in several main Confucian books. Confucius taught that 5.to educate (educate) somebody, you should start with poems, emphasize ceremonies, and finish with music.
Musical knowledge was 6.a matter of higher learning. It is said that he thought of the six most important subjects to study, 7.ranking (rank) music higher than the other five necessary subjects like writing and mathematics.
Music was important because the ideal society was to be governed by ritual (礼制) functions, but not by law. In a culture 8.where people function according to ritual, music is used to help govern them. So music wasn't really 9.entertainment (entertain), but a means for musicians to accomplish political and social goals. Music is 10.eventually (eventual) a means for social happiness.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了孔子时代音乐的功能：稳定社会。
解析：
1．考查介词。for是介词，意为“因为……”。句意：孔子因为中国传统音乐定下基调而受到尊敬。故填for。
2．考查动词的语态。He和think之间是被动关系，故该句用被动语态。句意：孔子被认为是一个伟大的教育家。故填is thought。
3．考查形容词。该空修饰名词musician，故要用形容词。talented意为“有才能的；有天赋的”。句意：他也是一位有天赋的音乐家。故填talented。
4．考查短语。短语be meant for“本应为；为……而有”。句意：音乐主要是为了娱乐。故填is meant。
5．考查非谓语动词。不定式to do表示目的。句意：为了教育某个人，你应该从诗开始。故填to educate。
6．考查冠词。a matter of意为“一个……问题”，是固定表达。句意：音乐知识是一个更高学习的问题。故填a。
7．考查非谓语动词。句中逻辑主语he与rank之间为主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。句意：音乐排名高于其他五个必修科目。故填ranking。
8．考查定语从句。“people function according to ritual”是定语从句，修饰culture，引导词在从句中做抽象地点状语，故要用关系副词where引导该从句。句意：在一个人们根据宗教仪式发挥作用的文化中，音乐被用来管理他们。故填where。
9．考查名词。由句意，该空应用名词做表语。句意：音乐并不真的是娱乐，而是音乐家们一种实现政治和社会目标的方式。故填entertainment。
10．考查副词。该空在句中做状语，用副词。句意：音乐最终成为一种实现社会幸福的方式。故填eventually。

解析：
1．考查非谓语动词。此处to是不定式形式，所以后面应接动词原形。
2．考查冠词。此处welcome是可数名词，所以前面应加冠词。
3．考查动词的时态。根据上下文的时态可知，此处应该用一般过去时。
4．考查连词。根据句意可知，此处表示并列关系，所以用and。
5．考查代词。根据句子的主语we可知，此处要用第一人称的反身代词。
6．考查名词。此处是作介词with的宾语，所以用名词形式。
7．考查动词的语态。此处we和put之间是主动关系，所以把were去掉。
8．考查定语从句。分析句子可知，从句缺少主语，所以用which。
9．考查介词。此处look at是固定短语，表示“看”。
10．考查非谓语动词。根据句子的主语we可知，要用excited来修饰人。
