复合句。tellingushowthecoupletransformintobutterfliesandflyawaytobetogetherforever是现在分词作状语。howthecoupletransformintobutterfliesandflyawaytobetogetherforever为宾语从句，作tell的宾语。[自主翻译]最后，在最激昂的部分，乐曲转而柔缓，以凄美的曲调收尾，它告诉我们，这对情侣化蝶而去，永世不再分离。5．ObviouslyIdon’tknowwhatit’strulyliketogrowupinruralAmerica，butthemastersofcountrymusic，likeJohnDenver，canmakeyoufeellikeyou’rethere.[句式分析]本句为主从复合句。whatit’strulyliketogrowupinruralAmerica为宾语从句。makesbdosth意为“让某人做某事”。[自主翻译]我显然不知道在美国乡村长大究竟是什么样子，但是乡村音乐的大师们，比如约翰·丹佛，能让你觉得身临其境。Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2023·山东烟台高二上期中)ArticleContest—TeensMakingaDifference!Nomatteryourageorwhatyourlifeis，youcanalwaysmakeadifference.TeenInkknowsthis，andsodoesNatalieSilverstein—authorofSimpleActs：TheBusyTeen’sGuidetoMakingaDifference!Forthiscontest，wewanttoknowwhatsimpleactsyou’vedonetomakeadifference!Pleaseclickhereforonlineregistration.Followallrulescarefullytopreventdisqualification.Rules：Youmustbeateen(aged13－19)withaTeenInkaccounttoenter.Submissions(提交)mustrelatetothetopic(TeensMakingaDifference)．Articlesmustbebetween250－350words.Deadline：December31thisyearGuidelinesandDetails：There’snosizelimittoanactofkindness—itdoesn’tmatterhowbigorsmallyouractofkindnessis，wewanttohearaboutit!Thereisnolimittothenumberofpiecesyoucansubmit.HowtoSubmit：Submitentriesthroughourwebsite.Otherformsofsubmissionwillnotbeaccepted.AllentriessubmittedtoTeenInkareautomatically(自动)consideredforthecontest.Mustincludethewords“ArticleContest”inyoursubmission’stags(标签)andtitle.Prizes：WinnerandhonorablementionswillhavetheirarticlespublishedinTeenInkmagazine.OverallwinnerwillreceiveacopyofNatalieSilverstein’sbook，SimpleActs：TheBusyTeen’sGuidetoMakingaDifferenceanda$25Amazongiftcard.语篇解读这是一篇应用文。文章讲述了参加《青少年与众不同！》文章竞赛的须知、规则、报名截止期限等信息。1．Whereisthistextprobablytakenfrom?A．Aguidebook.B．Awebpage.C．Abookreview.D．Anewsreport.答案B解析文章出处题。根据第一段最后一句“Pleaseclickhereforonlineregistration.”可知，文章应是来自一个网页上的内容。故选B。2．Whichofthefollowingwillresultindisqualification?A．Mailingyourentry.B．Writinga320-wordarticle.C．Submitting2entries.D．UploadingyourentryonNovember28.答案A解析细节理解题。根据“HowtoSubmit”部分中“Submitentriesthroughourwebsite.Otherformsofsubmissionwillnotbeaccepted.”可知，提交作品仅限于在网站提交，其他方式都不被接受。故选A。3．Whatistheprizeforeachhonorablementionwinner?A．They’llgetagiftcard.B．They’llbepresentedwithabook.C．Theirarticleswillappearinamagazine.D．TheirworkswillberecommendedbyNatalieSilverstein.答案C解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中“WinnerandhonorablementionswillhavetheirarticlespublishedinTeenInkmagazine.”可知，荣誉奖得主的作品将登载在《青少年墨水》杂志上。故选C。BMusicisoftenthoughtofas“easy”or“playtime”，butit’snotthatatall.Musicplaysaveryimportantpartinoureducation.Studentswholearnmusiclearnalotofmusichistoryatschool.Thisincludes“modes(调式)”，whichwereusedinsomespecialoccasionsduringthedevelopmentofmusic.Theyarestillusedtoday.Studentslearnaboutthehistoricaleventsthatweretakingplacewhenthemusictheyplaywaswritten.Theylearnwhatthemusicwasusedfor.Somuchofourcultureisinmusicandhasbeenforcenturies.Musicalsohelpswithscience.Studentsusesciencetohelpthemdiscoverwhatsoundsgoodtogetherandwhatdoesn’t.Studentsalsoneedsciencetounderstandsomethingcalledthe“overtoneseries”，whichisabouthowmusicisproducedbyvibration(颤动)andwhy.Studentslearnalotaboutlanguages.Manysongsarewritteninotherlanguages，includingancientones.Studentsmustlearntotranslatetheseworkstounderstandwhattheyaresingingabout.Somesongsarefamouspoemsorshortworkssettomusic.Studentslearnahugeamountofcoordination(协调)throughmusic，sopartsofthebodycanworkbettertogether.Studentsmustusefinemotorskillsinordertoplayaninstrument.Singersandplayersmustlearnbreathcontrolandbeingoodshapetoplay.Studentslearnaboutart.Somefamouspieceswerewrittenaboutimportantworksofart，andstudentslearnabouttheartistsandstylesasthey’replayingthemusic.Musiceducationalsobringshigherthinkingtoourchildren.Itallowsthemtothinkaboutcomplexpatterns(HowcanImakemypartsoundbetter？Howdothismusicandthesedifferentpartsfittogether？)．Studentshavetoknowabsolutely(完全地)whateveryothermusiciandoesatalltimes.Inthatway，itdevelopsteamwork.Asonecansee，musicisveryimportanttoeducationbesidesbringingusfun.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。文章重点说明了音乐对各门学科学习的帮助，表明音乐教育的重要性。4．LearningmusicishelpfultothefollowingsubjectsEXCEPT.A．science B．languageC．politics D．history答案C解析细节理解题。第二段说明音乐在历史学科上的帮助；第三段说明其在自然科学方面的帮助；第四段说明其在语言方面的帮助。文中没有提到政治，故选C。5．Studentswholearnmusichavetotranslatesongs.A．becausetheyarelearningthelanguageB．becausetheymustunderstandwhattheyaresingingaboutC．becausethesongsareancientonesD．becausetheyarefamouspoems答案B解析细节理解题。根据第四段第三句“学生们一定要把这些作品翻译过来，因为他们需要理解他们所唱的内容”可知选B。6．WhichofthefollowingisNOTtrueaccordingtothepassage?A．Modesarestillusedinmodernmusic.B．Differentkindsofmusicshowdifferentcultures.C．It’seasierforathletestolearntoplayaninstrument.D．Agoodmusicianshouldknowtheimportanceofteamwork.答案C解析细节理解题。文中没有提到运动员与学习乐器之间的关系，故C项是不正确的。7．Whatisthemainideaofthepassage?A．Theimportanceofmusic.B．Theimportanceofmusiceducation.C．Waystolearnmusicwell.D．Skillsthatmusicstudentsshouldhave.答案B解析主旨大意题。全文重点说明了音乐对各门学科学习的帮助，故B项“音乐教育的重要性”切题，故选B。CThemeaningofsilencevariesamongculturalgroups.Silencesmaybethoughtful，ortheymaybeemptywhenapersonhasnothingtosay.Asilenceinaconversationmayalsoshowstubbornness，unease，orworry.Silencemaybeviewedbysomeculturalgroupsasextremelyuncomfortable；thereforeattemptsmaybemadetofilleverygap(间隙)withconversation.Personsinotherculturalgroupsvaluesilenceandviewitasnecessaryforunderstandingaperson’sneeds.ManyNativeAmericansvaluesilenceandfeelitisabasicpartofcommunicatingamongpeople，justassometraditionalChineseandThaipersonsdo.Therefore，whenapersonfromoneoftheseculturesisspeakingandsuddenlystops，whatmaybeimplied(暗示)isthatthepersonwantsthelistenertoconsiderwhathasbeensaidbeforecontinuing.Inthesecultures，silenceisacallforreflection.Otherculturesmayusesilenceinotherways，particularlywhendealingwithconflictsamongpeopleorinrelationshipsofpeoplewithdifferentamountsofpower.Forexample，Russian，French，andSpanishpersonsmayusesilencetoshowagreementbetweenpartiesaboutthetopicunderdiscussion.However，Mexicansmayusesilencewheninstructionsaregivenbyapersoninauthorityratherthanberudetothatpersonbyarguingwithhimorher.Instillanotheruse，personsinAsianculturesmayviewsilenceasasignofrespect，particularlytoanelderorapersoninauthority.Nursesandothercare-giversneedtobeawareofthepossiblemeaningsofsilencewhentheycomeacrossthepersonalanxietytheirpatientsmaybeexperiencing.Nursesshouldrecognizetheirownpersonalandculturalconstructionofsilencesothatapatient’ssilenceisnotinterruptedtooearlyorallowedtogoonunnecessarily.Anursewhounderstandsthehealing(治愈)valueofsilencecanusethisunderstandingtoassistinthecareofpatientsfromtheirownandfromothercultures.eq\x(语篇解读本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“沉默”在不同文化背景下的不同内涵。)8．Whatdoestheauthorsayaboutsilenceinconversations?A．Itimpliesanger.B．Itpromotesfriendship.C．Itisculture-specific.D．Itiscontent-based.答案C解析推理判断题。由第一段第一句及下文给出的“沉默”在不同文化中不同含义的例子可知，作者认为不同文化对于沉默的解读是有很大差异的，即它与特定的文化有关。因此答案为C。9．Whichofthefollowingpeoplemightregardsilenceasacallforcarefulthought?A．TheChinese. B．TheFrench.C．TheMexicans. D．TheRussians.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第二段可知，许多印第安人珍视沉默，认为这是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分，就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人一样。因此，当一个来自其中一种文化的人说话突然停下来时，这暗示说话者想要倾听者在继续之前思考一下所说过的话。所以中国人认为谈话时突然沉默是为了让倾听者思考。故选A项。10．Whatdoestheauthoradvisenursestodoaboutsilence?A．Letitcontinueasthepatientpleases.B．Breakitwhiletreatingpatients.C．Evaluateitsharmtopatients.D．Makeuseofitshealingeffects.答案D解析细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“Anursewhounderstandsthehealing(治愈)valueofsilencecanusethisunderstandingtoassistinthecareofpatients”可知，作者建议护士利用沉默来关爱病人。故选D。11．Whatmaybethebesttitleforthetext?A．SoundandSilenceB．WhatItMeanstoBeSilentC．SilencetoNativeAmericansD．SpeechIsSilver；SilenceIsGold答案B解析标题归纳题。全文自始至终都是围绕“沉默”而展开，论述其在不同文化中的含义及影响。因此答案为B。值得注意的是D项(雄辩是银，沉默是金)，该选项迷惑性较大，但文章并未涉及前半句的内容，故D项不适合作文章标题。Ⅱ.七选五ImprovetheCultureofReadinginSchoolsAsaformofstudentsstudyingatschool，ImustadmitthatwehavealongwaytogotomakeMalaysiaareadingnation.Atschools，Ihavefoundthatmoststudentsonlyfocusonstudyingandpreparingforimportantexaminations.1Althoughtheministryofeducationhadintroducedtheliteraturecomponentatthesecondarylevel，thestandardofreadingleavesmuchtobedesired.Thus，Iproposethatschoolsarrangemoretimeforreadingbooks，especiallynon-academicbookssuchasnovelsandshortstorieswhichhaveliteraryvaluesandmerits.2Theyshouldbesuggestedaspartofaregularreadingcampaign.Thereadingculturemustbetrainedatayoungage.AdmittedlysomestudentsspeakandwritewellinEnglishlargelyduetotheirparents’encouragementwhoarehighlyeducated.Alargenumberofstudentswhocomefrompoorbackgroundsdonothavetheadvantageofreadingandimprovingtheirlanguageskills.3Merelyemphasizingreadingis
