Here we are at the beautiful bell tower. The village is famous for it. The bell and the tower are 3 centuries old.
There used to be an old yard with a bell tower inside it. The buildings in the yard were burnt down in a big fire
150 years ago, and only the tower was left. However, the tower you see now is not that same tower. It was
completely built again at the end of last century, but it’s been rebuilt exactly like the old one. The bell is the same
old bell that was in the old building. The villagers say that the bell sounds the same as it did 300 years ago, and just
like 300 years ago, the bell still sounds every evening when the sun goes down. That’s why they call it the sunset
bell. It can be heard 4 kilometers around.
People from everywhere come to see and hear the bell. They say the bell brings peace and good luck. Well, I
don’t know about that. But I know it’s brought us good business.

students a concert in a natural environment. In 2013, Deng started concert in Malan Village to give her young
students a chance to feel the magic of music.
When she watched the performance at the opening ceremony of the 24th Winter Olympics, Deng said, “The
children in the mountains have bright eyes, like the stars in the sky. Their voice is like the sound of nature, and their
love for singing is moving(令人感动的).”

Many people think of traditional arts, they think of music. And, in China one of the most famous traditional
artists is Tan Dun.
Tan Dun was born in a small village near Changsha, Hunan in 1957. He spent his early childhood with his
grandmother. He worked as a violin player and arranger for a Beijing Opera troupe(京剧团). At the age of nineteen,
he heard Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony(贝多芬第五交响乐) for the first time and decided to be a composer(作曲家).
When he was twenty, he studied music in Beijing. In the middle of 1980s, Tan Dun had a further study on music at
Columbia University. Since then, he has lived in New York.
Tan Dun once said in an interview that he only studied Eastern music before the age of twenty, and after twenty hestarted to be educated in Western music. And by the age of thirty, he deeply understood both traditions. The educational
experience gave him the power to create excellent works that connect the traditional and the modern, the East and
the West.
Tan Dun has two great inspirations(灵感) for his music. The first is to join together Western and Chinese music.
For example, his music for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 came from an old Chinese song and used both traditional
Chinese and Western musical tools. His second is to use natural sounds in his music. For example, he created a piece
called The Water Concerto in 1998. All the sounds used in the music are made with water.
With his music, Tan Dun tries to find the balance of the music between the East and the West as well as the
music and nature.
28.In which year did Tan Dun make a decision to be a composer?
A.In 1957. B.In 1976. C.In 1980. D.In 1998.
29.Which of the following about Tan Dun is NOT correct?
A.Tan Dun tries to find the balance in his music.
B.Tan Dun didn’t start to study western music until twenty.
C.Tan Dun is one of the most famous traditional artists in China.
D.Tan Dun created the Olympic music with modern western tools.
30.What does the underlined phrase “the educational experience” in the third paragraph refer to?
A.He spent his early childhood with his grandmother.
B.When he was twenty, he studied music in Beijing.
C.His further study on music at a foreign university.
D.His study background in both China and America.
31.Which are the two inspirations for Tan Dun’s music?
① join together western and Chinese music ② an old Chinese song
③ use natural sound in music ④ use water sounds in music
A.①② B.①③ C.②③ D.②④
【答案】28.B 29.D 30.D 31.B
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国最著名的传统艺术家之一——谭盾。
28.细节理解题。根据“Tan Dun was born in a small village near Changsha, Hunan in 1957”及“At the age of
nineteen, he heard Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony(贝多芬第五交响乐) for the first time and decided to be a
composer”可知,在1957年出生,19岁时决定要成为一名作曲家,也就是1976年,故选B。29.推理判断题。根据“For example, his music for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 came from an old Chinese
song and used both traditional Chinese and Western musical tools.”可知,他为2008年北京奥运会创作的音乐来
自一首古老的中国歌曲,并使用了中国和西方的传统音乐工具,D表述错误,故选D。
30.词义猜测题。根据“Tan Dun once said in an interview that he only studied Eastern music before the age of
twenty, and after twenty he started to be educated in Western music. And by the age of thirty, he deeply understood
both traditions.”可知,划线部分是指他在中国和美国的学习背景,故选D。
31.细节理解题。根据“With his music, Tan Dun tries to find the balance of the music between the East and the
West as well as the music and nature.”以及倒数第二段的描述可知,一个是把西方音乐和中国音乐结合起来,
另一个是在音乐中使用自然声音,故选B。

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft
music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality(质) and quantity(量). This works for
sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less
during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects(效果) overnight, though. It could
take as many as three weeks to see some improvements.
Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may have something to do with the
relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate(心率)
and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats(节拍) per(每) minute (bpm) works best. Classical,
jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may
need to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by
entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume(音量) right. Make sure that the final piece is
one that fades out. Or, you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
It is very important to get enough highquality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then,
just prepare to fall asleep.
32.According to the passage, soft music can ________.
A.let people notice the effects overnight
B.make people wake up more timesC.cause people to feel more tired
D.help people fall asleep faster
33.We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.
A.all popular songs should have a relaxing effect
B.soft music may do harm to our hearts in the long run
C.lower heart rates and slower breathing can help us to fall asleep
D.we have known the reasons clearly why soft music can help people sleep
34.The underlined words “fades out” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “________”.
A.turns on B.puts away
C.gets off D.disappears slowly
35.According to the passage, how can we work out the number of beats a song has in a minute?
A.By comparing it with a 70bpm song.
B.By entering the song’s title into songbpm.com.
C.By finding out whether it can help us fall asleep.
D.By counting our heart rates while listening to it.
【答案】32.D 33.C 34.D 35.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了轻音乐能助人睡眠及其理由。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night and
feel more rested in the morning.”可知,轻音乐可以帮助我们更快地入睡,晚上醒来次数减少,早上起床感觉
更放松。故选D。
33. 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Soft music can lower our heart rate(心率) and slow down our breathing. This
prepares us for sleep.”可知,轻音乐可以使我们心率降低,呼吸放慢,可以帮助我们入睡。故选C。
34.词义猜测题。根据第四段“Or, you may be woken up by the sudden silence.”可知,睡觉时,可能会被突
然的安静惊醒,因此最后一首歌最好不是突然安静结束的,而是慢慢结束的。fades out在此与disappears
slowly意思相近。故选D。
35.细节理解题。根据第四段“If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by
entering its title into songbpm.com.”可知,如果你不确定一首歌一分钟有多少拍,你可以在songbpm.com这
个网站上输入歌名来查找。故选B。

第三节 阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
The power of music
No one could say that Katy Perry is an ordinary artist. Her songs are not just about sweet romance and heartbreaks,
but usually have bigger and more empowering themes. Take the songs Firework (2010) and Roar (2013) for
example, where Perry sings about being our own master and discovering our true value.
But actually, these themes are not daring enough, at least not for Perry. Earlier this year, she announced her new
album Witness, together with a new idea for pop music. Perry calls her new style “purposeful pop”, meaning pop
with a social and political message. It seems that Perry has become tired of simply encouraging people. Now, she
wants to educate them politically as well.
Part of her inspiration came during the 2016 US presidential election between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton.
Perry was a very public supporter of Clinton because Trump was a candidate with a record of disrespectful behavior
toward women.
The best example of Perry’s purposeful pop is probably the song Chained to the Rhythm, in which Perry criticizes
people’s obsession with their own ideas and the fact they are unwilling to think more critically about the world. As
the song’s lyrics say, “Aren’t you lonely? Up there in utopia. Where nothing will ever be enough. Happily numb. So
comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble. So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble.”
Even though the election is long over and Trump won, Perry’s political message seems to be continuing.
But when it comes to the concept of purposeful pop, it is, in fact, something a lot of pop stars have been doing
for a while. Beyonce’s 2016 song Formation, for example, deals with various social problems such as the dispute
between white policemen and black citizens in the US, hoping to create change through music.
“Formation isn’t just about police brutality—it’s about the entirety of the black experience in America in 2016,
which includes standards of beauty, disempowerment, culture and the shared parts of our history,” wrote Jenna
Wortham in The New York Times.
To singers like Perry and Beyonce, songs are not just entertainment, but part of a movement. It may have seemed
strange when this concept was first introduced, but it’s on its way to becoming normal.
“The truth is, not speaking up in 2017 means you’re part of the problem. It’s no longer OK to be quiet andcomplacent,” wrote Shannon Carlin on entertainment news website Bustle.
【回答问题】
71.In which songs did Perry sing to become our own master?
72.What did Perry call her new style?
73.Who did Perry support, Donald Trump or Hilary Clinton?
74.Which song of Beyonce reflects social problems?
75.What is Formation about?
【答案】71.Firework (2010) and Roar (2013). 72.She called her new style “purposeful pop”.
73.She supported Hilary Clinton. 74.Formation.
75.It is about police brutality and the black experience in America in 2016.
【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。文章介绍了艺术家凯蒂·佩里著名的音乐作品,并阐述了她的作品灵感来源于
当时社会的政治因素;她的歌曲不仅仅是娱乐,更是运动的一部分。
71.根据“Take the songs Firework (2010) and Roar (2013) for example, where Perry sings about being our
own master and discovering our true value.”可知,在《烟火》和《咆哮》这两首歌中佩里唱到成为自己的主
人。故填Firework (2010) and Roar (2013).
72.根据“Perry calls her new style “purposeful pop”, meaning pop with a social and political message.”可知,
佩里将她的新风格称为“有目的的流行音乐”。故填She called her new style “purposeful pop”.
73.根据“Perry was a very public supporter of Clinton because Trump was a candidate with a record of
disrespectful behavior toward women.”可知,佩里支持的是希拉里•克林顿。故填She supported Hilary
Clinton.
74.根据“Beyonce’s 2016 song Formation, for example, deals with various social problems ...”可知,碧昂丝的
Formation这首歌反映了社会问题。故填Formation.
75.根据“Formation isn’t just about police brutality—it’s about the entirety of the black experience in America
in 2016 ...”可知,Formation这首歌是关于警察暴力和2016年美国黑人的全部经历。故填It is about police
brutality and the black experience in America in 2016.第四部分 书面表达(共1小题,满分20分)
