A

In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.

Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little­known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

Today the “Fringe”，once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.

A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1，25 million tickets were sold.

1. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?

A. They owned a public house there.

B. They came to take up a challenge.

C. They thought they were also famous.

D. They wanted to take part in the festival.

2. Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared?

A. They owned a public house there.  B. University students.

C. Artists from around the world.     D. Performers of music and dance.

3. We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival ________.

A. has become a non­official event    B. has gone beyond an art festival

C. gives shows all year round        D. keeps growing rapidly

(2020·山东省青岛市高二下学期调研考试)

Vijay Gupta is known to classical music lovers across the United States. He serves as first violinist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In that job, he often plays to large crowds, including many very rich people. When he is not performing, he organizes concerts for homeless people. “They have reminded me why I became a musician，” he said.

Last week, Gupta was recognized for being a founder and the artistic director of Street Symphony. The group has performed at homeless shelters, jails and halfway houses for about eight years. Gupta is among the 25 winners of the 2018 MacArthur Fellowship, commonly known as the “genius grant (拨款)”. Each winner will receive $625，000 over five years to use as they wish. The money is coming from a private group, the John D. and Katherine T. MacArthur Foundation. It awards grants to people whose work it considers exceptional and that “inspires hope in us all”. Gupta said he got the idea for Street Symphony while teaching Nathaniel Ayers, a trained musician whose mental illness led to homelessness.

The 31­year­old grant winner said he does not know yet how he will spend the money. He has been a performer since age seven and the award will give him “space to breathe, plan and look ahead”．

Another winner is Rebecca Sandefur, an associate professor of sociology and law in the University of Illinois. The Associated Press says her research actively supports new ways to involve poor communities in the US justice system.

47­year­old Sandefur created the first national mapping of civil legal aid providers. It shows which states had the financial resources to provide such aid and which did not. She also found that the cost of legal services is only one of the things preventing poor people from getting lawyers. Among the others are fears about unfairness in the legal system. Sandefur noted that a lot of attention has been paid to problems with the criminal justice system, but more attention must be paid to the civil side of the law, which also affects millions of people.

4. Why did Gupta win the award?

A. For performing for large crowds.

B. For the friendship with Nathaniel Ayers.

C. For his achievements in classical music.

D. For organizing a group playing for the homeless.

5. What do we know about Mac Arthur Fellowship?

A. It is founded by the government.

B. It offers $625，000 to 25 winners in 2018.

C. It allows the winners to use the money freely.

D. It awards people who make great contributions to society.

6. What was the extraordinary thing that Sandefiir did?

A. She made the legal system fairer.

B. She offered legal aids to the poor freely.

C. She made it easier to get legal help for the poor.

D. She paid more attention to the criminal justice system.

7. Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. Grants winners, inspiring the poor

B. The city homeless, in need of help

C. Vijay Gupta, an extraordinary violinist

D. MacArthur Foundation, awarding exceptional work

【答案及解析】　本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了美国两位麦克阿瑟奖学金的获奖者Gupta和Sandefiir分别通过为流浪者演奏音乐和为穷人争取法律援助而激励穷人的故事。

4．D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的The group has performed at homeless shelters, jails and halfway houses for about eight years.可知，Gupta获得该奖是因为他组织的街道交响乐团为流浪者演奏音乐，故D项正确。

5．C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的Each winner will receive $625，000 over five years to use as they wish.可知，获奖者将在五年内获得625，000美元的奖金，供其随意使用，故C项正确。

6．C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的The Associated Press says her research actively supports new ways to involve poor communities in the US justice system.可知，美联社称，Sandefiir的研究为贫困地区参与美国司法系统提供了新途径，由此可知，Sandefiir使穷人更容易获得法律援助，故C项正确。

7．A　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了美国两位麦克阿瑟奖学金的获奖者Gupta和Sandefiir分别通过为流浪者演奏音乐和为穷人争取法律援助而激励穷人的故事，故A项正确。

Ⅷ. 阅读下面短文， 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要

Everyone has the inborn ability to understand and enjoy music. There are many theories as to why this is, but it has become a part of human beings. Since the beginning, humans have expressed themselves through music. Simple tribal rhythms evolved into many types of more complex music, including classical, rock, jazz, and R&B. While the styles between these many types of music may vary, everyone is able to understand and relate to them.

What are the essential parts of a language? Every language uses vocabulary, or a set of words, to create sentences that convey messages. The tone and style of the sentences convey different feelings or emotions. Music is exactly the same way. Twelve tones, or notes, are combined to create phrases that also convey emotion. Music can even be written, like most other languages. Conversations even take place in music. Two saxophonists can play melodies back and forth, expressing different styles and feelings, building off of each other, responding to each other. Music changes over the years like other languages. Most people who speak fluent English cannot read one of Shakespeare's plays because the language has changed so much. Music is also affected by time, and over a long period, many new types of music and instruments have emerged to create different sounds and convey different messages. There are so many similarities between vocal language and music that they must be same.

I recently had a chance to experience conversation through music. In 2008, I traveled to Manila, Philippines to participate in a high school jazz exchange where many students from all over Asia came together to share their talents. Few people spoke fluent English so vocal communication was very tough. However, everyone seemed to understand each other simply through the music and there were few times where direct translation was needed.

Because of the many similarities that music shares with other languages, it is a very effective way to communicate with others. Music brings us together, connects us with other people, and allows us to express ourselves in ways that are different from speech and writing. It has the ability to convey emotions and messages to the core of people.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

One possible version：

Despite the different types evolving from simple tribal rhythms, human beings have the ability to appreciate music since they were born.(要点1) Music shares many similarities with other languages in the tone and style, and even in the written forms amd conversations.Time also has a great effect on music.(要点2) While there were language barriers between them, the author once still managed to communicate well by music with other students.(要点3) Music is a very effective way to communicate with others.(要点4)
