[解析]

（1）细节理解题。根据文章第三段中But her percussion teacher at school taught her to feel particular notes.For example，she had to place her hands on a wall，and he would play two notes on two timpani.He would then ask her which was the higher note and where she felt the vibration（振动）.（但是她在学校的打击乐老师教她感受特定的音符。例如，她必须把手放在墙上，他会在两个定音鼓上弹奏两个音符。然后他会问她哪个是更高的音符，她在哪里感受到振动。）可知，Evelyn Glennie通过利用身体部分感受声音的振动来区分音调，故选D。
（2）词句猜测题。根据第二段中At 12，she totally lost her hearing.（12岁时，她完全丧失了听力）以及第三段划线词所在句子上文Thanks to her perfect pitch and the fact that she performs barefoot，Evelyn "hears" the sound.（由于她绝对音感和她赤脚表演的事实，伊芙琳"听到"了声音）可知，Evelyn Glennie凭借着天赋和努力用另一种方式"听"到了声音，克服了失聪带来的问题。由此推测，划线词impairment意为"（身体方面的）缺陷"。A.Sorrow.悲伤；B.Mismatch.不协调；C.Abnormality.（身体上的）异常；D.Fear.害怕。划线词与abnormality意思接近。故选C。
（3）推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第三段中Through trials and errors，she managed to distinguish the pitch（音高）of notes by associating where on her body she feels the sound.（通过反复试验，她成功地通过联系身体上感觉到声音的部位来辨别音符的音高。）以及最后一段中At the age of 58 this year，Glennie's mission now is to "teach the world to listen，" to improve communication by encouraging everyone to discover a new way of listening.（今年58岁的Glennie现在的使命是"教会世界倾听"，通过鼓励每个人发现一种新的倾听方式来改善沟通。）等可知，Glennie克服了身体上的困难，获得了事业上的成功，并且想帮助更多人。由此判断Glennie是一个"意志坚定的并且善良的"人。故选C。
（4）标题概括题。阅读全文，并根据文章第一段For those who are deaf or have hearing loss，making and enjoying music can be a challenge.However，that hasn't stopped Dame Evelyn Glennie from achieving success.（对于失聪或听力受损的人来说，创作和欣赏音乐可能是一个挑战。然而，这并没有阻止伊夫林•格兰尼爵士取得成功。）以及倒数第二段中Till now，Glennie has performed with almost all the major orchestras （管弦乐队） globally.Besides classical music，she is famous for partnerships with pop and rock artists like Sting and Bjork.（到目前为止，Glennie已经与全球几乎所有的主要乐团合作演出。除了古典音乐，她还因与斯汀和比约克等流行和摇滚艺术家合作而闻名。）可知，文章主要介绍了失聪打击乐手Evelyn Glennie，讲述了她如何克服身体残疾，获得举世瞩目的成就，由此判断，选项B"一个被世界听到的失聪音乐家"切合文章主题，最适合做文章标题。故选B。

204903. （2022•雁塔二中•高二下期末） A mild-mannered cat by day，at night Rusty was just the opposite.Often，Bill and I would lie in bed quarreling over whether we should let it out to wander in the dark or put up with another sleepless night.
So，instead，we lay in the dark each noisy night and wondered what damage Rusty would do.And always in the morning，if I had forgotten to put the butter in the cupboard，there were marks from a rough，little tongue and once even a paw print.
   Something had to give.Bill looked at me straight in the eyes， " Do it." My reservations were such，however，that it took me several weeks and the loss of nearly a pound of butter to decide we didn't have much choice.
   That night，I put Rusty on his cat bed and patted him a little guiltily on the head.Then I began filling the kitchen sink with about two inches of water.Rusty loved jumping into a damp sink and then tracking water all over the cupboards and across the kitchen floor.According to the article I saved from a website to my folder，cats used to jumping into your sink，but they won't do it again if they jump in and find a couple of inches of water.
   Next，I cleared the cupboards of everything.Then I got out all my metal cookie sheets and a fork to go with each.According to the article，you should support a cookie sheet with a fork.When your cat jumps on the counter，he will knock down the insecurely balanced cookie sheets.What happens next will stop him from doing it a second time.
   Everything in place，I slipped onto our bed quietly，waiting.Suddenly，there came an awfully loud noise of metal.A chain reaction of crashes next.Finally，Rusty rounded the corner in the hall heavily and leaped through our doorway onto the foot of our bed，trembling under our cover.And that was the night Rusty，the Midnight Troublemaker，retired.

   "She started to comment that the food was 'delicious' and speak with others.Moreover，she began to hug me every time，" Zhu said.

204827. （2022•长安区一中•高一下期末） We've all heard the stories of an actor's struggles before a career breakthrough：living a hard life，working part time，being a couch potato before getting that major role.Shelby，the star of "A Dog's Way Home，" has a hardluck tale that could top them all.Before her big break，she was living in a landfill，rooting through garbage for her next meal.
   Shelby's big break came in April 2017，when animal control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County，Tennessee.Out on an unrelated call，Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump."I knelt down and just said， 'Oh，come here，baby，'" said Buhler."She was so scared，but she came right up to me，and I was able to put her in my truck." The pair headed to the county animal shelter，where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.
   Buhler and others didn't know that 3，200 kilometers away，Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon.The findaBella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miller.Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella.One day，Miller spotted Baby Girl's adoption photo."Honestly，it was a really good picture，and she was flatout smiling，"Miller said.Then she met Baby Girl，and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands.After assessment，she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter，renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training.Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began.Then they were together each day on the set.
   Most of the film's reviews have praised Shelby's performance.Variety made the comments "an amazing dog，perfect performance"！

204373. （2023•铁一中学•高三上期末） On April 30，2020，the world's most famous musicians met online to celebrate the tenth International Jazz Day，with the hope to revive jazz music and explore its possibility as aunifying voice across cultures.
   Despite the celebrations，though，the jazz audience continues to grow older because the music has failed to attract the younger generations.It's their job to help change that.
   Jason Moran，the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz，was one of the musicians.He hopes to widen the audience for jazz and make the music more accessible and enjoyable.
   "Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite（胃口）." Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. "I hope that the younger generations understand that jazz is not black anymore.It's actually colorful，and it's actually digital."
   Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the fun side of the music has been lost. "Today，the music can't be presented the way it was in 1908 or 1958.It has to continue to move，because the way the world works is not the same. "says Moran.
   Last year，Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party. "I just wanted to put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music." says Moran. "For me，it's just to re-contextualize.Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context.It can be adapted to（适应）different situations. "
   During the interview，he asked，"In music，where does the feeling lie？Are we，as humans，gaining any insight（感悟）on how to talk about ourselves and how a Fats Waller record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts？"
   He added that most of the musicians have recognized the need and agreed to continue those dialogues for the year.

（1）Why did the musicians meet online on April 30？
A．To celebrate the Jazz Day.
B．To show the value of jazz.
C．To remember the birth of jazz.
D．To protect different jazz cultures.
（2）What does the underlined word "re-contextualize" in paragraph 6 mean？
A．To mix jazz with other music.
B．To adapt to different situations.
C．To be performed by different bands.
D．To play with more advanced instruments.
（3）What does Moran think of jazz？
A．It will disappear gradually.
B．It should be black and white.
C．It has to keep up with the times.
D．It has become more popular.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．The Rise and Fall of Jazz
B．Goals Set for Jazz Day 2020
C．The Story of a Jazz Musician
D．The New Problems With Jazz

22266. （2016•新课标•ll卷） A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck（海难），by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled（雪橇） across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

33．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley？
A．They were made last week
B．They showed undersea sceneries
C．They were found by a cameraman
D．They recorded a disastrous adventure
34．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text？
A．Frank Hurley
B．Ernest Shackleton
C．Robert Falcon Scott
D．Caroline Alexander
35．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage？
A．Artistic creation
B．Scientific research
C．Money making
D．Treasure hunting.

204240. （2023•长安区一中•高二上期末） When he tells people that he is deaf，Oliver Stabbe is called a liar. "The idea that deaf people cannot speak is a very offensive assumption，" the sophomore（大二学生）said.Stabbe's experience speaks of many of the misunderstandings about deaf people and the struggles they face - things commonly found right in Rochester.This city is home to 90，000 deaf people，a significant slice of the more than 1.1 million national population.The percentage of deal people here is higher than the national average t due in part to RITs National Technical Institute for the Deaf，the first technological college in the world created specifically for the deaf and hard of hearing. "Really，there seems to be an embarrassment in communicating with deaf people，" said sophomore Stephen Davis，another deaf student.This awkwardness might arise because non-deaf people just don't know how to do so without possibly offending someone. "I guess they think saying 'deaf' is offensive，but it really isn't and deaf people don't get upset about it，" Davis said.He noted that the biggest issue he's had when communicating with other students is their anxiety about communicating.Deaf or hard-of-hearing students also face frustrations（令人心烦的事）on their end when interacting with others. "Sometimes people talk about you，maybe to a non-deaf friend standing beside me，as if I'm not there，" Davis said. "That's depressing." As Davis put it， "We don't see ourselves as the disabled，so the awkwardness is only one-sided."
