（2024·河南南阳·模拟预测）The Music Educator Award, presented by the Recording Academy and
Grammy Museum, recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to music education. This year it went
to Annie Ray, a teacher at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia. She was honored for her efforts to
make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities.
Ray attended the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, took photos with pop stars and brought home a $10,000
prize and matching grant (补助金) for her school’s music program. But she considers the award to be her students.
Ray loved music and was regarded as a music talent at an early age. She was inspired by the diversity of the
Annandale community, which she says represents over 60 countries. There are a lot of cultures that might typically
clash (冲突), but they come together in this very beautiful harmony. So she created the Crescendo Orchestra (管弦
乐队) for students with disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregivers a year to play
the same instrument as their child.
The orchestra is about much more than just making music, however. It gives students a chance to develop
their cooperation skills and learn the art of improving something. “I really push my students to be bold, go out of
their comfort zones, challenge themselves and become confident,” Ray said. “Meanwhile, they completely changedmy educational approaches. I learn to teach them according to their own abilities and pace.”
At the Grammys, what impressed her was that many famous performers agreed that a good music educator
can change one’s life, which made her feel what she did was rewarding.
But she faces some challenges. One is that not many people understand how much music educators’ work
matters. Another challenge is resources. Her school desperately needs new instruments but lacks enough money.
“It is a hard profession, but I never give up. There’s nothing else like it,” Ray said.
4．What motivated Ray to create the Crescendo Orchestra?
A．The cultural diversity. B．Her talent for music.
C．Her disabled students’ desire. D．The Annandale community’s advice.
5．What effect does Ray have on her students?
A．They made greater musical achievements.
B．They took comfort from life’s improvements.
C．They became more cooperative and confident.
D．They developed effective learning approaches.
6．What challenge is Ray facing now?
A．Shortage of funds. B．Hardship of being a teacher.
C．Lack of reward for work. D．Disapproval from music educators.
7．Which words can best describe Ray?
A．Humorous and helpful. B．Modest and determined.
C．Wise and adventurous. D．Demanding and ambitious.

（2024·浙江宁波·二模）In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few
clicks away. Yet, the live performance lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert
halls to hear their favourite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why—live music engages the
brain’s emotion centres more than its recorded counterpart.
Concerts are immersive (沉浸式的) social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together
through crescendos, key changes and rhythmic drops. Moreover, they are dynamic — artists can adapt their playing
according to the crowd’s reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the
brain responses of people listening to music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening
to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown theparticipant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-
recorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain responsible for processing
emotions, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the journal PNAS,
revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact. Whether the music conveyed happiness or
sadness, dynamic live performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala but also other parts of the
brain’s emotion processing network. The researchers also found that participants’ brain activity tracked the acoustic
(声学的) features of the music, like tempo and pitch, far more closely when it was played live.
While the study didn’t fully recreate the live concert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability to
adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance (共鸣) of live music. Some musical
acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but
without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing.
8．Why do people attend live shows despite music streaming services?
A．Because they prefer being with friends at a concert.
B．Because they enjoy the process of finding popular music.
C．Because they intend to meet their favorite musicians in person.
D．Because they value the emotional connection live music brings.
9．The role of the pianist play in the “live” experiment is to _______.
A．observe the participants’ brain activity as feedback
B．compare the effectiveness of live performances and recorded ones
C．provide live accompaniment to participants inside the MRI scanner
D．demonstrate their ability to read and respond to the audience’s mood
10．What did the study published in PNAS find about the impact of live music on the brain?
A．Live music affected only the amygdala of the brain.
B．The brain responded more intensely to acoustic features of live music.
C．Live music had a reduced emotional impact compared to recorded music.
D．The participants’ brain activity was especially sensitive to dynamic music.
11．What does the author suggest by mentioning ABBA Voyage in the last paragraph?
A．It fails to create a perfect performing atmosphere.
B．It matches the sound quality of live performances.
C．It greatly stirs up the audience’s emotional response.D．It lacks artists’ response based on audience’s feedback.

（2024·山东泰安·三模）The ocean is home to more than 200,000 known species and as many as 2 million
that we have yet to discover. And, it is also home to 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics. In 2022, researchers
spotlighted how bad marine microplastic pollution, is getting: The total amount of microplastics on the bottom of
oceans has greatly increased. in the past two decades.
Microplastic particles don’t just end up at the bottom of the ocean. Animals are eating them — at least 1,500
species have been reported to ingest plastic. And a lot of it. For example, whales in New Zealand’s Hauraki Gulf
consume roughly three million microplastics daily, according to research published in Science of the Total
Environment, which analyzed whale waste to see how much microplastics were present.
“Other research has shown that if plastics are small enough, they can cross the gut(肠道) wall and get into
internal organs though the long-term effects are still unclear. Plastics can also release chemicals that are harmful to
digestive system,” says Kahane-Rapport. “This is concerning, and while we do not yet understand the long-term
health-effects, it is likely not a good sign for whales and their prey(猎物) to eat a man-made material like plastic.”
This is obviously bad for whales, but it also has effects on humans and the ocean at large. We are also part of
these food chains and are consuming microplastics regularly. They are in our bottled water, in our table salt — they
are even in our house dust and in the air we breathe. And we still don’t know what the health effects are.
Meanwhile, the impact on whales — and what it indicates — is troubling on many fronts. “Whales are ecosystem
engineers,” says Kahane-Rapport. “They can spread the nutrients that they consumed and serve as ecosystem
guards — when whales are not healthy, other parts of the system will suffer.”
Kahane-Rapport says more research is needed. “The next research step will be to determine how much
plastic the whales excrete(排出) and how much is left in their bodies. Following that, we would be able to
determine the direct health effects on their tissues.”
12．What does the underlined word “ingest” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Deal with. B．Bring up. C．Take in. D．Spread out.
13．What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A．Researches show contradictory results.
B．Digestive system is the most affected part.
C．Small plastics are more harmful than big ones.
D．Much about microplastics’ harm remains unclear.14．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The various sources of pollution.
B．Tab chain reaction of microplastics.
C．Possible solutions to plastic pollution.
D．Growing awareness of ocean protection
15．What will the following research focus on?
A．Microplastic pollution to the ocean bottom
B．The sufferings of other ocean creatures.
C．Whales’ contributions to the ecosystem.
D．The amount of plastic in whales bodies.

（2024·重庆·三模）In modern life, stress has become an unwelcome companion for many. According to a
survey conducted in 2023, 91 percent of adults reported experiencing high or extreme levels of stress. 16
One alternative gaining popularity is wellness tourism, praised as the fastest-growing sector in the travel industry.
The change of scenery and adventurous nature of an active holiday can lead to an overall change in the
dominant chemicals in our brain, triggering releases of dopamine (多巴胺). 17 We often see dopamine
travel as a complete distraction from everyday life, which promotes meaning or growth. Besides, such a form of
travel has been proven to increase feelings of well-being, as well as increases in general activity level. 18
This is particularly present for outdoor trips such as mountaineering or skiing where a sense of accomplishment can
lead to long lasting increases in self worth and confidence.
19 Oliver Brendon, CEO of Attraction Tickets.com adds: “The dopamine travel trend is centered
on immersing yourself in exciting landscapes, which is why the brightly-colored theme parks such as Walt Disney
World and Universal Orlando Resort make such popular destinations.”
For more mindful moments, surrounding yourself in nature can create a sense of adventure and escape unlike
traditional wellness getaways. 20 Going sailing on the tranquil lazy river at Discovery Cove is another
wise choice.
A．Consider choosing experiences like swimming with sea life.
B．Try riding the popular roller coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
C．These benefits have been reported as lasting up to a long post-holiday time.
D．This effect of certain holidays has coined a new travel trend — dopamine travel.E．As we struggle with this stress, promoting our well-being has become most significant.
F．It’s evident that we are increasingly seeking comfort and refreshment in holiday experiences.
G．Just as other dopamine trends encourage bright colors, our environments also play a, vital role.

It was in 2019, 36 Zakirova came to Shanghai to study, that she discovered a local park filled with

keeping up with the rhythm. They simply dance and enjoy the moment. Usually, 38 (experience) dancers
lead, while newcomers observe, learn, and eventually join in. 39 (occasion), she’d also join and dance

method to handle the loneliness and physical inactivity that often goes hand in hand with aging. It is a
heartwarming proof to the openness and liveliness of modern Chinese society: older people and retired people
gather, not just 41 (exercise), but to socialize and form new connections.
By the time she came to China, Zakirova 42 (take) part in various dances, including traditional

（2024·湖北武汉·模拟预测）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整
的短文。
It had been a challenging but rewarding term, filled with hard work and a thirst for knowledge. As I handed
in my final assignment and saw it was graded A, a sense of pride and satisfaction washed over me. Little did I know
that my accomplishments had not gone unnoticed by my families, who had been closely observing my progress.
At the first day of summer vacation, my mother told me excitedly that we would pay a visit to Marco the
next day to cheer for my progress in academic study. When I got the good news, I felt on top of the world and could
not hold back my high spirits. As I lay in bed that night, a mix of anticipation and delight welled up in my heart,
and I slid into a dream-filled sleep, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the coming adventure.
After we arrived in Marco, my parents said that we would first visit the Marco tower. Marco Tower, built in
the late 19th century, is a historic landmark that showcases the rich architectural heritage of the city. It is also
considered one of the top tourist attractions in the region. Upon hearing the inspiring news, I bounced up and down
with joy. But then I felt a bit uneasy because of my fear of heights.
Inside the lift, my palms grew sweaty as the anxiety consumed me. I paced back and forth in the tower lift,
unsure of whether I would have the courage. After the lift reached the specific floor, I gasped (倒吸一口气) in
horror. The floor here was made of glass, so one could appreciate the height of the tower and take a real adventure.
Seeing my family both take out their phones to shoot the grand views, I felt under pressure. Then my mother smiledat me and said delightedly, “Just take it easy and you can do it.”
