Unit 5 Rhythm课时练12篇阅读1篇完形1篇应用文写作.阅读理解A(2020泉州高三质检)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 Alexandrias 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。1What do we know about Turner?AHe began playing the glass harp at six.BHe often teaches glass harp lessons online.CHe is a great master of the Chinese language.DHe 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。2What does the author say about the glass harp?AIts inventor is Wolfgang Mozart.BIt is made up of glasses of the same size.CIt appears to be gaining in popularity today.DIts 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.

But thats OK：The US rapper has just won a Pulitzer Prize for his music.In 2014, in 2016, and again in 2018, Lamar was nominated(提名) for an album of the year Grammy. Each time, he was beaten out, first by Taylor Swift, next by Daft Punk, and most recently by Bruno Mars.But the Pulitzer Prize committee was inspired enough by Lamars 2017 album, Damn., to award the Pulitzer Prize in music on April 16. Its an amazing album that documents the real life of modern AfricanAmericans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.Lamars win is considered to be historical. The Pulitzers have long displayed their preference towards high art rather than the pop culture of the masses. So its not just that no rapper has ever won a Pulitzer: no pop music maker has ever won one in the awards history.But Lamar is not just a singerhes clever at using language. Like the best writers, his music describes small moments that illustrate larger points. His songs are about his experience as a black man who grew up in California, struggled, got into trouble, and found his way out by working hard and making sense of the history and reality in the US.“Hes an artist who challenges ideas，” said Ryan Coogler, director of the blockbuster(大片) Black Panther, for which Lamar created music. “One big theme in our film is this idea of What does it mean to be African？ Lamar in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question.”Good artists entertain us, great artists make us think, and exceptional artists help us empathize(产生共鸣)There are a lot of good, great, even exceptional artists in rock, pop, country, and hiphop. But only Lamar has won a Pulitzer Prize.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。美国说唱歌手Kendrick Lamar以说唱歌手的身份获得了普利策奖。5What is Lamars album Damn. about?AAfricanAmericanshistory and culture.BHardships of the AfricanAmerican artists.CThe ways the US government deal with problems.DThe lives of modern black people in South Los Angeles.D解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Its an amazing album that documents the real life of modern AfricanAmericans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.”可知，Lamar的这张专辑主要讲述的是生活在洛杉矶南部的当代美籍非洲人的真实生活。故选D。6Why is Lamars Pulitzer Prize win significant?AHe is the first filmmaker to win the prize.BIt is considered a milestone for pop music.CHe is the first black person to win the prize.DHe has missed Grammy several times before.B解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的内容，尤其是“Lamars win is considered to be historical.”和“no pop music maker has ever won one in the awards history”可推知，Lamar获得普利策奖具有重大意义。故选B。7What can we learn from Ryan Cooglers words?ALamar drew inspiration from his own experience.BLamar has the courage to take on big challenges in life.CBlack Panther is well known because of Lamars music.DLamars music matches the theme of Black Panther well.D解析：细节理解题。根据第六段中Ryan Coogler说的话“One big theme in our film is this idea of What does it mean to be African？ Lamar in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question.”可知，Lamar的音乐与电影Black Panther主题相一致。故选D。.完形填空(2020合肥高三调研)It was New Year time.

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 songsthe frequency of male singers in popular musichad 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.【解题导语】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。1The researchers examined lots of songs to _Afind songs for dances and partiesBchoose songs for a journalCrelease more songsDknow better about songsD解析：推理判断题。本文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。2Whose music style tends to bring you more happiness?ANatalia LKomarovas.BSam Smiths.CGorgon Citys.DBruce Springsteens.D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 LKomarova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。3What do we know about songs over the past three decades?ARock became popular in the early 2000s.BFewer unhappy songs came to light every year.CMale singers were better at performing pop music.DFemale artists were less skilled in writing songs.A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。4What can be a suitable title for the text?APop Music Is Getting SadderBMusic Calls for Sex EqualityCPop Music Has a Long HistoryDMusic Industry Is Going DownA解析：标题归纳题。根据本文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项仅是本文中提到的一个细节；C项不是本文的重点；D项扩大外延，属过度概括，故排除。B(2020马鞍山高三模拟)Pangolins(穿山甲) are strangelooking creatures, covered with hard scales(鳞). They can roll up into a ball to protect themselves from enemies and have tongues that are longer than their bodies.Pangolins have recently become the focus of Chinese people. A screenshot of a microblog post showing some people eating pangolins at a feast spread. A few days later, people were angered again by pictures showing people eating protected animals, including pangolins.Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more pangolins have been hunted or killed. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN), more than 1 million of them have been killed or sold in the last 10 years. It also said that they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world. In September 2016, the IUCN added the pangolin to the worlds “endangered animals list”. They are now more endangered than pandas.A growing trade of their scales and meat is the main reason for their decline in number. Many people in Asia and Africa consider pangolin meat is delicious. Some people even think pangolin scales have medical qualities. However, their scales are made of keratin(角蛋白), the same material human fingernails are made of.Luckily, the situation is getting better. World Pangolin Day is on the third Saturday of February each year. Its a day to help people know more about pangolins. The government now stops anyone from buying and eating pangolins in China. Breaking this law is regarded as a crime, and the trade of pangolins across the world is also not allowed, according to the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了穿山甲濒临灭绝的现状，以及为保护穿山甲而采取的举措。5Pangolins have caught peoples attention these years because _Athey look strangeBthey appear in some moviesCthey are killed and eaten by peopleDthey have something to do with pandasC解析：细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词“attention”和“these years”，我们把答案定位在第二段。该段开头说，穿山甲近来成为中国人关注的焦点，然后提到一张屏幕截图和一些图片里，穿山甲成为人们的盘中珍馐，这与C项的描述是一致的。6What can we learn from the passage?APangolins can roll up into a ball to attack enemies.BMore than 1 million pangolins were killed or sold last year.CPangolins were named the most endangered animal in 2016.DThe pangolin is a kind of mammals.D解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容，尤其是“they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world”可知，穿山甲是一种哺乳动物，故选D。7The real aim of World Pangolin Day may be to _Aattract people to the zoo to watch pangolinsBlift peoples awareness of protecting pangolinsCremind people of pangolins medical valueDexplain the law to peopleB解析：推理判断题。根据题干中的“World Pangolin Day”，我们把答案定位在最后一段。该段主要
