《2025年阳光计划八年级英语下册人教版》

(2022昆明中考) 阅读理解。
For 16 - year - old Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Olympic theme song, Snowflake, was her best present for Paralympians (残奥运动员) all over the world. Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I'm also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.
Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful" music through sound and emotion.
Ma's mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.
Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.
“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin.
But Ma said, “As I've been practicing so long, it's hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”
In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.
Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I'm proud of standing on the stage today.”

答案： [主旨大意]文章介绍了 2022 年冬奥会主题曲《雪花》的小提琴表演者马奕菲的故事。
21. C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Even though...performance.”可知，马奕菲的表演让观众感到温暖、希望和光明。
22. D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段可知，马奕菲在学习小提琴的时候需要感知老师的手、胳膊和背来学习动作，还要一遍一遍地听琴弦，自己去感受肌肉，所以是通过给出具体的例子来说明她在学小提琴时遇到的困难。
23. B 解析：根据第二段中句子“She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine”可知，A 选项错误，马奕菲是在五岁的时候开始学钢琴的；根据第六段中句子“In 2018...to study music in Beijing.”可知，2018 年，她跟随中央音乐学院的老师在北京进行学习，故 B 项正确；根据第四段中句子“Learning the violin was more challenging.”可知，学习小提琴比钢琴更具有挑战性，故 C 错误；根据第三段中句子“Ma's mother...the piano.”可知，马奕菲在弹奏钢琴之前，是妈妈帮助她识记乐谱的，故选项 D 错误。
24. A 解析：词义猜测题。通读第五段可知，马奕菲经过三年小提琴的学习，还是没能弹奏出美妙的琴声，于是她的妈妈劝她放弃，但她认为，学习这么久了，只要继续坚持下去，一定会弹奏得更好。结合语境，判断 persist in 意为“坚持”，与 keep on 同义。
25. C 解析：主旨大意题。通读语篇可知，马奕菲身残志坚，通过她的例子向我们证明，熟能生巧，故选 C。
