Module 4 Which English Fine Arts Western Chinese and Pop Arts(建议用时35分钟). 阅读理解A(2017安阳模拟)For people who suffer from many different mental or social problems, there are treatments that range from direct medication to all kinds of therapies(治疗)aimed at improving their state of mind. Music therapy, helping people through their responses to music, is one of the most enduring and successful of these treatments. Music therapy is mostly used to help people with psychological problems. It is used when patients suffer from depression; when patients have difficulties socializing properly, and for children with educational or behavioral problems. It is also used alongside conventional medicine to help motivate patients suffering from severe physical problems. Essentially, music therapy can be divided into three different kinds. The simplest is where patients listen to a piece of music while they are performing another task that they would normally find difficult. Examples include children with learning disabilities or stroke victims performing painful exercises with music on in the background. Alternatively, discussions about music compositions are used to explore difficult personal topics by therapists that use their patients responses to music. The other two kinds of music therapy are more directly interactive. In the first, therapists use their musical skills to develop the musical ideas their patients come up with about particular themes. In the second, therapists are teachers while the patients experiment directly with music or some kind of sound making. Remarkably, all three of these techniques are extremely effective. Many studies report significantly improved healing in sufferers of serious diseases when treatment is combined with music therapy. Although no one is sure why, it seems that music is a universal cure. 【文章大意】事实证明, 音乐疗法起到非常有效的作用。音乐疗法大体有三种, 且都极其有效, 尽管没有人知道为什么。1.

But one theory has been gaining ground in recent years: extreme drought. Now more evidence has been discovered to support the drought postulationand the proof may just lie in Belizes most famous underwater cave. Rice University professor Andre Droxlers team analyzed things found in the“Great Blue Hole, ”a 410-foot-deep sinkhole in the middle of Lighthouse Reef, LiveScience reports. Not only did the chemical composition indicate periods of sparse rainfall during the Mayan decline(likely between AD 800 and AD 1000); it also showed that a second huge drought probably occurred between AD 1000 and AD 1100right around the time the Mayans location site of Chichen Itza is said to have fallen. Over thousands of years, sediments(沉积物)from rivers and streams during periods of rich rainfall deposited layers in the Blue Holes lagoon, offering scientists a geological timeline to examine. “Its like a big bucket, ”Droxler tells LiveScience. “Its a sediment trap. ”Too much rain also erodes(侵蚀)volcanic rock, which contains titanium(钛). Droxlers team found that the sediments mineral compositionthe low ratio of titanium to aluminum indicated periods of low rainfall during the times when the Mayas, for the most part, disappeared. Scientists guessed that due to a climate change, seasonal wind may have skipped over the Yucatan Peninsula during these periods, leading to eventual disasters all around. “When you have major droughts, you start to wait for starvation, ”Droxler explains. 【文章大意】本文是一篇科技说明文。科学家最近从“蓝洞”里的化学物分析中发现玛雅文化的消亡有可能是由极度干旱造成的。5. The followings are Smithsonian explanation for the ruin of the Mayan civilization except_. A. many people cut down the trees in the forests without planningB. people hunt the wild life without proper controlC. there were extreme droughts on the earthD. the species from other planets invade us【解析】选C。细节理解题。由第一段的第一句可知过度狩猎、破坏森林和外星人的入侵有可能解释玛雅文化的消亡, 而极度干旱不是Smithsonian的看法。故C项符合题意。6. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“sparse”in the third paragraph? A. Proper. B. Rare. C. Valuable. D. Rich. 【解析】选B。词义猜测题。由第三段的“it also showed that a second huge drought probably occurred between AD1000 and AD1100”可知, 沉淀物的化学成分表明了第二次的干旱发生在公元1000至公元1100年, 由于这是第二次干旱, 所以前一句应该是第一次干旱, 因此可以推出这里表示降雨量稀少。7. From Paragraphs 4 and 5, we can infer that_. A. there has been rich rainfall on the earthB. the main element of the volcanic rock is titaniumC. if Mayan disappears, the rainfall on the earth will decreaseD. Droxler s team has discovered a clue for Mayas disappearance【解析】选D。推理判断题。由第四段可知, 几千年来降雨量充分时期的河水和溪流里的淤泥在蓝洞堆积, 这给科学家提供了检测的地理时间表。因此可以推出科学家已经找到了玛雅文化消亡的线索。8. According to Droxler, if you meet with serious drought, you are likely to_. A. suffer from the disease because of climate changeB. be swept away by the seasonal windC. bring the disaster for your neighborD. starve to death【解析】选D。推理判断题。由最后一段的“When you have major droughts, you start to wait for starvation, ” Droxler explains. 可知, 当你遇到大干旱时, 你就得等着饿死。【知识拓展】话题词汇再现1. deforestationn. 采伐森林, 森林砍伐2. alien adj. 外国的; 异己的 n. 外星人; 外国人3. drought n. 干旱4. lie in 在于; 存在于5. skip over 略过; 漏读. 阅读填句(2017湖北七市联考)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cant be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress. Try physical activity. When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing(释放)the pressure through exercise or physical activity. 1Take care of yourself. You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if youre not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into situations of stress. 2Make time for yourself. 3Dont forget, play can be just as important as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy. 4Stress can result from disorganization(杂乱无章)and a feeling that“theres so much to do, and not enough time. ”Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and, as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time. 5. Set out to do the most important task first. A. Bear in mind the most important task. B. Schedule time for both work and play. C. Check off each task as it is completed. D. Make a list of the things you need to do. E. For example, you could take your job as your hobby. F. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. G. Running, walking, or playing tennis are just some of the activities you might try. 【文章大意】本文为说明文, 告诉我们如何来应对压力。1.【解析】选G。空前的意思是: 当你紧张, 生气或者失落时, 尝试通过锻炼或身体活动来释放压力。这里选G项(跑步、散步、打网球都是一些你可以尝试的活动)与上下文一致。2.【解析】选F。空前的意思是: 如果你很容易生气, 睡得不好, 或者你吃得不合理, 你更有可能陷入压力的状态。所以这里选F项(如果压力反复让你睡不着, 你应该咨询医生)与上下文一致。3.【解析】选B。空后的意思是: 不要忘记, 娱乐和工作一样的重要。所以这里选B项(计划工作和娱乐的时间)与上下文一致。4.【解析】选D。空后的意思是: 压力可能来自杂乱无章, 以及有太多事情要做而没有足够时间的感觉。所以选D项(列出你需要做的事的清单)与上下文一致。5.【解析】选A。空前的意思是: 列出你需要做的所有事, 然后一次做一件事。空后句意: 首先开始做最重要的工作吧。所以选A项(当任务完成时, 从列表中删除此任务)与上下文一致。【知识拓展】长难句分析While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cant be avoided. 句意: 尽管生活得完全没有压力是不可能的, 但是当压力不可避免时, 避免压力和减少它的影响是可能的。分析: While it is impossible to live completely free of stress和when it cant be avoided为状语从句; it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect中it为形式主语, 不定式为真正主语。. 短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文, 请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误, 每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加: 在缺词处加一个漏字符号(), 并在其下面写出该加的词。删除: 把多余的词用斜线()画掉。修改: 在错的词下画一横线, 并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意: 1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2. 只允许修改10处, 多者(从第11处起)不计分
