Ⅲ.主題語篇閱讀(共8小題；每小題2.5分，滿分20分)
A
(2025·河南南陽高二上期中)
It started that first day in a kindergarten choir.Just as the session ended，its director，drawing me aside，asked，“Ian，will you stay for a few moments？”
“Did I do something bad，Miss？”
“Not in the least，” she replied，touching my cheek.“I would like to hear your voice alone；it sounded so lovely.”
Then，sitting at the piano，she said，“Sing this note for me.Good，now this one；now this one，will you？” And so I did，each note high，then ever higher，until I squeaked(破音) a little.At that point，she smiled，and said，“Well done，Ian！”
The next day，I began to sing in front of a good many teachers.Each one liked me and my voice.A few cried，telling me how much they missed their work in opera.Soon，I attended lessons once each week.Though at times feeling tired，I learned，in order to continue to obtain the praise which made me glow inside，I had to earn it.
Then as I edged towards age thirteen，I heard alto(中音) notes appear more and more often.Although I knew this change would come，I ached to stop it.The admirable beauty of my voice could not remain.Thus far，the tiny change remained detectable only to myself.Still，that change，which for some years I’d known would come，was now invading.In all likelihood，my boy soprano’s voice(童音) would change into a common one.
This evening I had my solo.I still couldn’t get rid of the fear.Might this performance be the final time of such significance If so，what then Singing is my wellspring.However，no matter what would happen in the future，I had to cherish every moment to sing.As I sang on，it echoed(回響) through the walls，bringing a silence of suspended breath.When I had finished，thunderous applause exploded.I could begin to let my voice evolve，not as a sacrifice，but as a step towards what was surely bound to be my next stage.

2．What encouraged the author to continue when he was worn-out
A．The practice. B．The performance.
C．The admiration. D．The voice.

B(此篇精讀)
(2024·河北保定高二上期末)
Scientists have reconstructed Another Brick in the Wall by reading people’s brainwaves—the first time a recognisable song has been decoded(解碼) from recordings of electrical brain activity.
Although members of the same laboratory had previously managed to decode speech—and even silently imagined words from brain recordings，“in general，all of these reconstruction attempts have had a robotic quality”，said Prof Robert Knight，a neurologist at the University of California in Berkeley，US，who conducted the study with the postdoctoral fellow Ludovic Bellier.
“Music，by its very nature，is emotional and has rhythm，stress，accent and intonation.It involves many more things than limited phonemes(音素) in whatever language，which could add another aspect to an implantable speech decoder.”
The team analysed brain recordings from 29 patients as they were played a three-minute piece of song，taken from the 1979 album The Wall.The volunteers’ brain activity was detected by placing electrodes(電極) directly on the surface of their brains as they underwent surgery for epilepsy(癲癇)，a brain disease.
Artificial intelligence was then used to decode the recordings and then make a reproduction of the sounds and words.Though unclear，the phrase “All in all，it’s just another brick in the wall” comes through recognisably in the reconstructed song—with its musical characteristics.
In the future，as brain recording techniques improve，it may also become possible to make such recordings without the need for surgery—perhaps using sensitive electrodes attached to the skin on the top of the head.
This finding could be ultimately used to help people who have trouble communicating，be it from a brain injury or some kind of disease like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—the one that Stephen Hawking suffered from.It is expected that the finding may one day help these people better convey what they want to say than they are able to now with even the most cutting-edge assistance.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了科學家通過讀取人腦電波的方式重現了Another Brick in the Wall這首歌，這是首次從大腦電活動記錄中解碼出可識別的歌曲。
5．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2
A．The limitation of previous studies.
B．The result of the present study.
C．Methods adopted in the present study.
D．Other researchers with similar interest.
答案　A
解析　段落大意題。根據第二段中羅伯特·奈特教授說的話“in general，all of these reconstruction attempts have had a robotic quality”可知，該段主要描述了之前的重現嘗試通常都帶有“機械”性質，即存在局限性。故選A。
6．What kind of help did artificial intelligence offer in the new finding
A．Conducting the brain surgery.
B．Turning the recorded raw data into music.
C．Recognising the musical characteristics of the song.
D．Recording the brainwaves of the participants.
答案　B
解析　細節理解題。根據第五段“Artificial intelligence was then used to decode the recordings and then make a reproduction of the sounds and words...recognisably in the reconstructed song—with its musical characteristics.”可知，人工智能被用于解碼腦電波記錄并將其轉化為具有音樂特征的歌曲片段。故選B。
7．What can the finding be expected to be eventually used for
A．Helping people avoid potential brain injuries.
B．Helping people recover from rare diseases.
C．Helping people understand Hawking’s theory better.
D．Helping people with difficulty in speaking communicate better.
答案　D
解析　細節理解題。根據最后一段“This finding could be ultimately used to help people who have trouble communicating...It is expected that the finding may one day help these people better convey what they want to say...”可知，這一發現最終可能用于幫助有交流困難的人更好地交流。故選D。
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Another Function of AI
B．Extracting Music from the Brain
C．Good News for Music Lovers
D．Recording Your Brainwaves
答案　B
解析　標題歸納題。根據全文尤其第一段內容可知，文章主要講述了科學家通過讀取人腦電波的方式重現了Another Brick in the Wall這首歌，這是首次從大腦電活動記錄中解碼出可識別的歌曲。文章主要圍繞這一發現進行描述，并提到了其可能的應用前景，因此，B選項“從大腦中提取音樂”符合主旨，適合作為文章標題。故選B。
[詞匯積累] 1．reconstruct(派)＝re＋construct vt.重現；重建；重造 reconstruction n．重現；再現；重建；復原 2．recognisable adj.可識別的 3．implantable adj.可植入的，可移植的 4．cutting-edge adj.領先的，最前沿的 [句式分析] It is expected that the finding may one day help these people better convey what they want to say than they are able to now with even the most cutting-edge assistance. 分析：此句為復合句。It作形式主語，真正主語是that引導的主語從句；what引導賓語從句。 翻譯：預計這一發現有一天可能會幫助這些人更好地表達他們想說的話，比他們現在用最先進的輔助工具能做到的還要好。

It started that first day in a kindergarten choir.Just as the session ended，its director，drawing me aside，asked，“Ian，will you stay for a few moments？”
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者從小學合唱團開始的歌唱生涯及其變聲后的心路歷程。
Ⅲ.主題語篇閱讀
“Did I do something bad，Miss？”
“Not in the least，” she replied，touching my cheek.“I would like to hear your voice alone；it sounded so lovely.”
Then，sitting at the piano，she said，“Sing this note for me.Good，now this one；now this one，will you？” And so I did，each note high，then ever higher，until I squeaked(破音) a little.At that point，she smiled，and said，“Well done，Ian！”
The next day，I began to sing in front of a good many teachers.Each one liked me and my voice.A few cried，telling me how much they missed their work in opera.Soon，I attended lessons once each week.Though at times feeling tired，I learned，in order to continue to obtain the praise which made me glow inside，I had to earn it.
Then as I edged towards age thirteen，I heard alto(中音) notes appear more and more often.Although I knew this change would come，I ached to stop it.The admirable beauty of my voice could not remain.Thus far，the tiny change remained detectable only to myself.Still，that change，which for some years I’d known would come，was now invading.In all likelihood，my boy soprano’s voice(童音) would change into a common one.
This evening I had my solo.I still couldn’t get rid of the fear.Might this performance be the final time of such significance If so，what then Singing is my wellspring.However，no matter what would happen in the future，I had to cherish every moment to sing.As I sang on，it echoed(回響) through the walls，bringing a silence of suspended breath.When I had finished，thunderous applause exploded.I could begin to let my voice evolve，not as a sacrifice，but as a step towards what was surely bound to be my next stage.
1.Which words can best describe the director
A.Honest and enthusiastic.
B.Intelligent and generous.
C.Humorous and positive.
D.Observant and responsible.
推理判斷題。根據第一段的“Just as the session ended，its director，drawing me aside，asked，‘Ian，will you stay for a few moments？’”，第三段“‘Not in the least，’she replied，touching my cheek.‘I would like to hear your voice alone；it sounded so lovely.’”以及后文中她安排作者單獨唱歌給老師們聽等行為可推知，負責人對聲音有著敏銳的觀察力，并且非常負責地對待每個學生的發展。故選D。
解析
√
2.What encouraged the author to continue when he was worn-out

C.The admiration. D.The voice.
細節理解題。根據第五段的“Though at times feeling tired，I learned，in order to continue to obtain the praise which made me glow inside，I had to earn it.”可知，正是令作者內心愉悅的贊賞讓作者即使感到疲憊也堅持練習。故選C。

A.Keep advancing.
B.Stop singing.
C.Quit performing.
D.Make a sacrifice.
推理判斷題。根據最后一段的“I could begin to let my voice evolve，not as a sacrifice，but as a step towards what was surely bound to be my next stage.”可推知，盡管作者的聲音將發生改變，但他會繼續前進，把聲音的變化看作成長的一個階段而非犧牲。故選A。

(2024·河北保定高二上期末)
Scientists have reconstructed Another Brick in the Wall by reading people’s brainwaves—the first time a recognisable song has been decoded(解碼) from recordings of electrical brain activity.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了科學家通過讀取人腦電波的方式重現了Another Brick in the Wall這首歌，這是首次從大腦電活動記錄中解碼出可識別的歌曲。
Although members of the same laboratory had previously managed to decode speech—and even silently imagined words from brain recordings，“in general，all of these reconstruction attempts have had a robotic quality”，said Prof Robert Knight，a neurologist at the University of California in Berkeley，US，who conducted the study with the postdoctoral fellow Ludovic Bellier.
“Music，by its very nature，is emotional and has rhythm，stress，accent and intonation.It involves many more things than limited phonemes(音素) in whatever language，which could add another aspect to an implantable speech decoder.”
The team analysed brain recordings from 29 patients as they were played a three-minute piece of song，taken from the 1979 album The Wall.The volunteers’ brain activity was detected by placing electrodes(電極) directly on the surface of their brains as they underwent surgery for epilepsy(癲癇)，a brain disease.
Artificial intelligence was then used to decode the recordings and then make a reproduction of the sounds and words.Though unclear，the phrase “All in all，it’s just another brick in the wall” comes through recognisably in the reconstructed song—with its musical characteristics.
In the future，as brain recording techniques improve，it may also become possible to make such recordings without the need for surgery—perhaps using sensitive electrodes attached to the skin on the top of the head.
This finding could be ultimately used to help people who have trouble communicating，be it from a brain injury or some kind of disease like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—the one that Stephen Hawking suffered from.It is expected that the finding may one day help these people better convey what they want to say than they are able to now with even the most cutting-edge assistance.
5.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2
A.The limitation of previous studies.
B.The result of the present study.
C.Methods adopted in the present study.
D.Other researchers with similar interest.
段落大意題。根據第二段中羅伯特·奈特教授說的話“in general，all of these reconstruction attempts have had a robotic quality”可知，該段主要描述了之前的重現嘗試通常都帶有“機械”性質，即存在局限性。故選A。
解析
√
6.What kind of help did artificial intelligence offer in the new finding
A.Conducting the brain surgery.
B.Turning the recorded raw data into music.
C.Recognising the musical characteristics of the song.
D.Recording the brainwaves of the participants.
√
細節理解題。根據第五段“Artificial intelligence was then used to decode the recordings and then make a reproduction of the sounds and words...recognisably in the reconstructed song—with its musical characteristics.”可知，人工智能被用于解碼腦電波記錄并將其轉化為具有音樂特征的歌曲片段。故選B。
解析
7.What can the finding be expected to be eventually used for
A.Helping people avoid potential brain injuries.
B.Helping people recover from rare diseases.
C.Helping people understand Hawking’s theory better.
D.Helping people with difficulty in speaking communicate better.
細節理解題。根據最后一段“This finding could be ultimately used to help people who have trouble communicating...It is expected that the finding may one day help these people better convey what they want to say...”可知，這一發現最終可能用于幫助有交流困難的人更好地交流。故選D。
解析
√
8.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Another Function of AI
B.Extracting Music from the Brain
C.Good News for Music Lovers
D.Recording Your Brainwaves
√
標題歸納題。根據全文尤其第一段內容可知，文章主要講述了科學家通過讀取人腦電波的方式重現了Another Brick in the Wall這首歌，這是首次從大腦電活動記錄中解碼出可識別的歌曲。文章主要圍繞這一發現進行描述，并提到了其可能的應用前景，因此，B選項“從大腦中提取音樂”符合主旨，適合作為文章標題。故選B。
解析
1.reconstruct(派)＝re＋construct vt.重現；重建；重造
reconstruction n.重現；再現；重建；復原
2.recognisable adj.可識別的
3.implantable adj.可植入的，可移植的
4.cutting-edge adj.領先的，最前沿的
詞匯積累
It is expected that the finding may one day help these people better convey what they want to say than they are able to now with even the most cutting-edge assistance.
分析：此句為復合句。It作形式主語，真正主語是that引導的主語從句；what引導賓語從句。
翻譯：預計這一發現有一天可能會幫助這些人更好地表達他們想說的話，比他們現在用最先進的輔助工具能做到的還要好。
