Module 3 Music ‎ (建议用时：45分钟)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2020·深圳高三模拟)Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp(竖琴), near Alexandria’s historic waterfront.‎ A glass harp is made up of differentsized drinking glasses, each containing water. Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical sound.‎ Turner is 78 years old now. He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table. He has been playing it for 50 years.‎ Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound. Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound. The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.‎ Turner always uses lowpriced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound. Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores.‎ The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument. There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on the Internet. He hopes the next generation will continue making their music.‎ ‎【解题导语】　杰米·特纳经常在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大人群密集的地方演奏玻璃竖琴：敲击不同大小的盛水的玻璃杯，发出动听的乐声。他不仅能演奏玻璃竖琴专门乐曲，还能用它演奏中国流行音乐。‎ ‎1．What do we know about Turner?‎ 9‎ A．He began playing the glass harp at six.‎ B．He often teaches glass harp lessons online.‎ C．He is a great master of the Chinese language.‎ D．He was inspired by his father to learn the glass harp.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.”可知，在六岁时，杰米·特纳听到父亲在餐桌上用一玻璃杯水演奏音乐，开始对玻璃竖琴产生兴趣。据此可知，D项正确。‎ ‎2．What does the author say about the glass harp?‎ A．Its inventor is Wolfgang Mozart.‎ B．It is made up of glasses of the same size.‎ C．It appears to be gaining in popularity today.‎ D．Its sounds are affected by the amount of water in the glasses.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第三、四句“He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound.”可知，杯子中的水量不同，产生的音调也不同；添加或去掉少量水就会改变声音。据此可知，玻璃竖琴的声音受杯子中水量的影响，故D项正确。‎ ‎3．Why does Turner prefer to use cheap glass?‎ A．To save money.‎ B．To produce better sounds.‎ C．To help recycle drinking glasses.‎ D．To increase difficulty in performing.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Turner always uses lowpriced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound.”可知，特纳总是使用低价玻璃杯是因为其声音听起来比昂贵的水晶杯好听，故B项正确。‎ ‎4．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A．A Musician Pleases Crowds by Playing the Glass Harp B．Playing the Glass Harp: a New Trend C．Jamey Turner’s Dream Coming True D．Wonderful Music Has No Borders A　解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段“Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical 9‎ ‎ instrument, the glass harp(竖琴), near Alexandria’s historic waterfront.”并结合全文其他内容可知，本文主要讲述了一位音乐家为人群演奏玻璃竖琴的故事。故A项最适合作本文标题。‎ B ‎(2020·江西八所重点中学联考)Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she’s been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.‎ The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated(截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.‎ To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geotag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.‎ Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking spectacular pictures in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the wellknown locations written on her artificial leg.‎ ‎“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard，” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”‎ Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback. “My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do，” she said. “I don’t know if it’s my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I’ve been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”‎ Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。Devon Gallagher在四岁时因患骨科疾病右腿被截肢，但是这并没有影响她对梦想的追求。她到世界各地旅行，将自己的旅行情况写在假肢上并拍照片发到社交媒体。她的故事告诉人们：不要让任何东西阻碍你追求梦想。‎ ‎5．What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way?‎ A．She enjoys her travelling across the globe.‎ 9‎ B．She suffers little from her leg amputation.‎ C．She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing.‎ D．She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.”可知，虽然截肢在早期给Gallagher带来了挫折，但她现在认为这是对她过最好的生活的激励；并结合第三段可知，她想要传达的信息是她要将自己的不幸看作是另一种形式的幸运，故C项正确。‎ ‎6．What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A．The Continent.　　　　 B．The pictures.‎ C．The leg. D．The locations.‎ B　解析：代词指代题。根据第四段第一句中的“Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam”可知，现在，她正在欧洲大陆各地拍摄照片，照片中她骑着自行车穿过阿姆斯特丹的运河。分析该句结构可知，该句为非限制性定语从句，先行词为pictures, which指代先行词，在从句中作主语，故B项正确。‎ ‎7．Gallagher can best be described as ________．‎ A．helpful and ambitious B．friendly and generous C．determined and creative D．independent and sensible C　解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，Devon Gallagher在四岁时因患骨科疾病右腿被截肢，但是这并没有影响她对梦想的追求；她到世界各地旅行，将自己的旅行情况写在假肢上并拍照片发到社交媒体。据此可推知，Devon Gallagher既有毅力又有创造力，故C项正确。‎ ‎8．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?‎ A．Never Too Late to Share B．A Special Artificial Leg C．An Outstanding Photographer D．Gallagher’s Summer Holidays B　解析：标题归纳题。根据文章尾句“And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.”并结合全文其他内容可知，文章主要讲述了Devon Gallagher虽然被截肢，但是这并没有影响她对梦想的追求，她到世界各地旅行，将自己的旅行情况写在假肢上并拍照片发到社交媒体。故B项最适合作文章标题。‎ 9‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 ‎(2020·武汉调研测试)It was New Year time.
