　　Ⅰ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　(2024·山西省太原五中高三月考)

　　Both of Jessica's parents were lawyers and expected her to follow suit. So she went to law school, got a job at a great firm in Washington, DC, and worked as a lawyer for a decade. But her heart was never in it. “I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction，” she says.

　　Jessica found pleasure in the same thing that had brought her joy since joining the church choir at the age of 12. “Singing always felt like communicating something real at a spiritual and emotional level，” says Jessica. Yet she never considered it a career option. “That seemed like something people did in fairy tales, and I would never let my parents down，” she says.

　　It was her mom's diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 that made Jessica realize she had to write her own happy-ever-after. “Work was busy and my mother was ailing. So I was flying back and forth from Washington, DC to Houston to see her，” Jessica says. “I finally said，‘Enough！’ and quit.” While caring for her mom, Jessica made a plan. She would spend her savings and study music for a year, and then open a part-time law practice so she could pursue her passion. Before her mother passed away two years later, she encouraged Jessica to follow her dream. Her song Live This Life was inspired by her mom, and her dad came to watch her perform at clubs.

　　In 2024, Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and songwriting. A decade of presenting cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd. “At 20, I would have been too shy to perform，” says Jessica.

　　“Doing music is so free，” Jessica says. “There's no pressure to be a star. Success, to me, isn't a dollar amount or a record deal; it's doing what I love.”

　　If you're considering having your children learn how to play an instrument, you may want your children to start out with piano lessons. Learning the piano can help to provide many surprising benefits to children. For example, the following are several great benefits your children will enjoy while learning to play the piano.

　　One great benefit of taking piano lessons is developing better hand-eye coordination(協調). Having good skills in hand-eye coordination is an important skill to have in life, and these skills are especially useful when it comes to writing. Also taking piano lessons will help improve your children's concentration. When children learn to play the piano, it takes quite a bit of concentration, especially when they have to concentrate on playing with both hands. Also, it takes concentration to read the notes and translate the rhythm(節奏) at the same time too.

　　As your children learn to play the piano and how notes make up music, they'll further understand how wonderful music can be. This musical appreciation early in their life will lead to a lifetime of musical appreciation.

　　When children learn to play the piano, they develop more confidence in themselves. Piano lessons are a challenge to your children and as they learn to practice and improve their performance, they'll build up even more confidence in themselves.

　　Believe it or not, studies have shown that children taking piano lessons actually perform better in school. When they learn to play the piano, it helps them understand many other ideas that are behind subjects like math and science.

　　As you can see, taking piano lessons can greatly benefit your children. Therefore, consider the benefits and give piano lessons to your children.

　　5．Compared with those taking no piano lessons, a child who takes piano lessons ________.

　　A．has better performance at school

　　B．does better in math and science

　　C．is better at appreciating beauty

　　D．is better at other musical instruments

　　答案：A　細節理解題。根據第五段第一句可知，與不學習彈鋼琴的孩子相比，學習彈鋼琴的孩子在學校的表現會更好。

　　6．What can we infer from the passage?

　　A．Learning to play the piano is a difficult task.

　　B．Playing the piano is good for children's eyes.

　　C．Taking piano lessons is a great way to help kids develop.

　　D．Music is a great way to help people to get great achievements.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。本文主要論述了學習彈鋼琴對孩子的益處。結合第二至五段中所給出的具體論述可知，讓孩子學習彈鋼琴不僅可訓練孩子們的手眼協調能力，進而改善他們的寫作能力，還可以培養他們的自信、專注的注意力、對音樂的欣賞能力等。這些都說明了讓孩子學習彈鋼琴能夠促進孩子的發展。

　　7．How many benefits of children's learning to play the piano are mentioned in the passage?

　　A．Four.

　　B．Five.

　　C．Six.

　　D．Seven.

　　答案：B　細節理解題。第二段論述了學習彈鋼琴的兩個好處：提高手眼協調能力和改善注意力；第三段論述了一個好處：提高音樂鑒賞能力；第四段論述了一個好處：增強自信；第五段論述了一個好處：改善在學校的表現。綜上可知，全文共論述了學習彈鋼琴的五個好處。

　　8．The purpose of the last paragraph is to ________.

　　A．call on people of all ages to take piano lessons

　　B．stress the great benefits of musical education

　　C．remind readers of the advantages of taking piano lessons

　　D．encourage parents to have their children take piano lessons

　　答案：D　主旨大意。上文中論述了學習彈鋼琴的好處后，最后一段第一句先進行了總結，接著給出了“Therefore，consider the benefits and give piano lessons to your children.”這一號召性的結語。由此可推知，作者是在鼓勵家長讓孩子上鋼琴課。
