“好声音”的精神追求张颐武最近，“中国好声音”的出现既获得了诸多好评，也引发了对于选手的经历等方面的争议。

好评和争议交错，热播和分歧共存，这其实是近年来中国选秀文化变化和发展的一个新的状况的投射，也是中国电视文化的新的变化的投影。

这些都值得我们认真思考。

中国的选秀文化经过了2005年以后的第一波的高潮之后，在相当程度上进入了某种困局。

一是造就超级明星的功能业已减退。

通过选秀为公众所认识好像越来越难。

这既是由于这些年唱片业在互联网时代的转型的问题复杂，也是由于歌手的形象风格都相当接近，难以脱颖而出。

一开始通过选秀的梦想舞台选出青春偶像的情况已经不再出现，反而是许多参加各电视台选秀的选手都差不多，观众的印象模糊。

二是观众的新奇感消退之后，对于选秀的形式已相当熟悉，各个电视台的选秀节目也都有重复之嫌，使得观众产生了疲劳感，觉得没有什么新意了。

这几年选秀一直处在瓶颈之中。

当下引发观看热潮和争议的“中国好声音”一出现就引发了轰动效应。

它力求超越粉丝和明星的关系，从音乐专业方面着力，从“好声音”中寻求新的可能性。

让刘欢、那英等这样最有声望的音乐人来指点新人，让迷人的好声音得以展现。

通过这些华语歌坛的最重量级的人物收徒，而选手也可以选择导师的做法，使普通人能够成为音乐人，进入这一专业领域得到更多的培养和深造，从而能够为未来的职业生涯打下坚实的基础。

这其实是从普通人中选择真正的“好声音”让他们得以进入专业领域。

这个构思另辟蹊径，让选秀不再一下子就能实现梦想，也不仅仅展现梦想；而是让梦想通过一个专业的路径，通过较为严谨的程序得以延伸，最终成为一个职业生涯的选择。

这是将梦想的实现转换为实实在在的修业和学习的长期的努力的过程，节目正是在这一点上赢得了公众。

2014-2015学年第一学期高三年级学前考试英语试卷I卷第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ASome scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety－five would have the same effect.Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales(鲸鱼).A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals.The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists don't think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.21．According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT________. A．sounds made by animals themselvesB．ocean drillingC．underwater earthquakesD．the breaking of ice fields22．Which of the following is true of whales？A．They won't be confused by noises.B．They are deaf to noises.C．Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high­level noises.D．Their hearing will be damaged by high­level noises.23．According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future? A．They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.B．They will protect sea animals from harmful noises.C．They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.D．They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.BInternational Book ClubHave you ever thought of joining a book club and buying new booksthrough the post？Here at the International Book Club，we already have many members buying books from us by mail.Immediate benefits：•As a special offer，you may choose any reduced­price books from our new members’ book list，to the value of $6 in total (pluspostage and packing)．By doing this，you will save pounds on the publishers’ prices.•Tick the box on your form to order a free wa tch.•If you reply within seven days，we will send you another free gift carefully chosen from our book list by our staff•Order a DVD from the many on offer in our list，at half the recommended retail price.When you’ve joined：As a member，you’ll enjoy savings of between 30% and 50% off the publisher’s price on every book you buy，and what’s more，they’ll come straight to your door.Your free club magazine arrives once a month，to keep you up to date with the latest best­sellers.This means that every year we offer over 1,000 books to choose from.On the Internet，you can find all our titles for the year on our exclusive members’ website.Being a member：All we are asking you to do while you are a member is to choose four books during your first year.After that，you can decide on the number of books you wish to take.In each of our monthly club magazines，our experienced staff choose a Club Choice book—a work of fiction or a reference title which they feel is particularly worth buying，and which is offered at an extra­s pecial price.However，if you do not want this book，just say soin the space provided on the form.We will always send the book if we do not receive this.So，return your application form today，but hurry—it’s not every day we can make you an offer like this.To apply to become a member，all you need to do is simply fill in the enclosed form and return it in the postage­paid envelope supplied.Before you know it，your books will be with you.Please don’t send any money now，as we will send you your bill with the books.And remember，you have up to a fortnight to decide if you wish to keep the books you have ordered.You should then either return the books or send your payment.24．Which of the following doesn’t belong to the benefits of being a club member?A．Get four books for free in the first year.B．Order a free watch.C．Get a gift for nothing.D．Order a DVD at a low price.25．Every month the club provides a free club magazine in order to________.A．let readers know the number of books to be soldB．keep readers well in formed of recent best­selling booksC．make readers know the club’s developmentD．attract more and more readers to join the club26．If a book is worth $100，how much will a member probably save if he buys one?A．$20.

According to the first paragraph，________.A．the function of our brain is like that of the muscleB．until now it’s impossible to explain the brain’s mysteryC．many people believe one’s intelligence is naturally determinedD．one’s brain grows stronger as the age increases29．Training muscles is compared to________.A．using the brainB．connecting things in your brainC．lifting weightsD．doing research about the brain30．What does the underlined word “perspicacious” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Strong. B．Smart.C．Popular. D．Active.31．The following paragraph will most probably talk about________.A．the differences between animals’ brains and humans’ brainsB．the relation between human brains and musclesC．scientists’ findings about animals’ brainsD．how to make your brain smarter through self­developmentDA winter wonderland on the outskirts of Quebec City has become one of Canada's hottest attractions and most sought out accommodations.

Everyone knows that when you lift weights，your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can‘t lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.That‘s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising，the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That‘s why people say ―Use it or lose it！‖But most people don‘t know that when they practice and learn new things，parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells，called neurons.The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated munication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things，these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn，the more your brain cells grow.Then，things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do—like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra (代数)—seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time.The result is a stronger，smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals‘ brains.They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more ―perspicacious‖—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.5、According to the first paragraph，________.A．the function of our brain is like that of the muscleB．un til now it‘s impossible to explain the brain‘s mysteryC．many people believe one‘s intelligence is naturally determinedD．one‘s brain grows stronger as the age increases6、Training muscles is compared to________.A．using the brainB．connecting things in your brainC．lifting weightsD．doing research about the brain7、What does the underlined word ―perspicacious‖ in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Strong. B．Smart.试卷第4页，共11页C ．Popular.D ．Active. 8、The following paragraph will most probably talk about________. A ．the differences between animals‘ brains and humans‘ brains B ．the relation between human brains and muscles C ．scientists‘ findings about animals‘ brainsD ．how to make your brain smarter through self-developmentHave you ever thought of joining a book club and buying new books through the post ？Here at the International Book Club ，we already have many members buying books from us by mail.

It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwaterearthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.试卷第6页，共11页Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety －five would have the same effect.Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales(鲸鱼). A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals.The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists don't think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.13、According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT________. A ．sounds made by animals themselves B ．ocean drilling C ．underwater earthquakes D ．the breaking of ice fields14、Which of the following is true of whales ？ A ．They won't be confused by noises. B ．They are deaf to noises.C ．Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high-level noises.D ．Their hearing will be damaged by high-level noises.15、According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future? A ．They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution. B ．They will protect sea animals from harmful noises. C ．They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels. D ．They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.二、完形填空（题型注释）We always want what we cannot have.When we‘re young，we want to stay out late，have romantic relationships and be____.However，when we‘re____，we want to go back to being young and we____the days when we didn‘t have to worry about complex love affairs，____pressure and money problems.Young people believe adulthood____freedom from parents and schoolwork.When they get older，they feel that____is freedom from work pressure and family responsibilities.To____this feeling，people say，―The grass is always____on the other side of the fence.‖As____，we like to be like adults but as young adults，we ____to be young again.We think about staying out late and____our own money to spend.Suddenly，we see that love can result in ____hearts；staying out late makes it hard to get ready for____the next morning.We find out that adult life is not as____as we thought it would be and suddenly，____becomes very scary.

Because in some ways, it is. Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And that’s only natural: most of us have been taught from a you ng age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistak es. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably eno ugh times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious r eaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think ab out it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make l earning possible; they make growth and improvement possible. By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistake s—we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceili ng of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: we don’t just consume information a bout something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programm ing, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them ri ght away. Instead, you get information about something, from r eading or from another person or from observing, then you mak e mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those m istakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it’s probably something y ou already knew how to do. You haven’t really grown much fro m that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it’s a good jour ney.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, th en you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that ma ke a world of brilliance possible.6. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.B. Because it’s a natural part in our life.C. Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.D. Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.7. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistak es?A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.8. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably mean s .A. a small child learning to walkB. a kindergarten child l earning to drawC. a primary pupil learning to readD. a school teenager le arning to write9. We can learn from the passage that .A. most of us can really grow from successB. growing and improving are based on mistakesC. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD. we read about something and know how to do it right away 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

bill can reach lengths of nearly 20 cm and is around one third of the length of the Keel-billed Toucan’s body.The Keel-billed Toucan’s bill is one of the most colourful bills in the bird world，and it’s more a green colour than anything else.As with other species of toucans，the size of the Keel-billed Toucan’s bill does not affect the balance of the bird itself as its bill is made out of keratin，which is very light but still very strong.The Keel-billed Toucan is native to the jungles of South America where it lives in holes inthe trees，often with several other Keel-billed Toucans.In order to make sure that there is enough space for them all，the Keel-billed Toucan group all sleep with their bill and tail under their body to create more room for the other birds.The Keel-billed Toucan has a diet with large quantities of different kinds of fruit.However，because of the surprising dexterity of its bill，the Keel-billed Toucan also eats bird eggs and insects，if there’s not enough fruit.The Keel-billed Toucan is an extremely sociable bird and is very hard to be seen on its own.As well as nesting together，the Keel-billed Toucan travels in small groups.Different from what people think though，the Keel-billed Toucan is not very good at flying and does most of its moving about by jumping between the tree branches.A female Keel-billed Toucan lays between 1 and 5 eggs in the hole of a tree，which usually hatch within a few weeks.Both the male and female Keel-billed Toucan hatch the eggs and both Keel-billed Toucan parents also feed and look after their babies until they are old enough and strong enough to protect themselves.1．What will make you difficult to forget when you first see the Keel-billed Toucan?A．Its green colour.B．Its long and colourful bill.C．Its fruit diet.D．Its colourful feather.2．How does the Keel-billed Toucan save space for other birds?A．By sleeping with others closely.B．By finding a bigger hole in the tree.C．By sleeping in groups of more than three.D．By putting certain organs under their body.3．According to the passage，people often think that the Keel-billed Toucan________.A．can fly very well B．won’t eat bird eggsC．often lives alone D．often jumps around4．After the Keel-billed Toucan’s babies are born，the babies are looked after________.A．by other birdsB．only by female Keel-billed ToucansC．by both parentsD．only by male Keel-billed

AAt 57 you would think I know what my future looks like．But I don’t．I'm still searching for it·Our friends are becoming grandparents．My kids are still in college，so this makes me feel younger than I am．I felt the same way in my 40s when my friends’ kids were entering high school and 1 was attending Christmas shows at the elementary sch001．“What do you mean you’ve never heard of Barney or the Rug- rats？”I’d ask．At the age of 57，I find myself trying to find meaning at a time when some might think my best days are behind me．Each morning 1 wake with the intention of finding the sunshine in the day ahead．I am working temporary accounting jobs because that is the job I fell into many years ago，but I spend most of my time writing．When asked what I d0 for work，I find myself answering，I am a writer．I've published two novels，I blog，and 1 write pieces here on the Huffington Post，so yes，at 57 I can call myself a writer．At this point in my life I realize Paul Bowles was correct when he said“security is a false God”．What I am searching for at 57 are not possessions or money in the bank，for all those things call he lost in an instant．Job losses，illness，the loss of a loved one，all these things can and will rock that false sense of security．At 57 I live with the choices and mistakes I have made，along with the—curve—balls that were thrown in my way．I accept the fact that there will always be more questions than answers．As at any age，the only true choice I have is how I deal with life’s ups and downs but at 57 I have come to accept this．Time is my most precious commodity and I intend to make the most of it．21．What makes the author feel she is younger than she really is？A．The fact that she has the best days behind her．B．The fact that she keeps searching for her future．C The fact that she doesn’t know what her future is．D．The fact that her friends have become grandparents．22．What is the author’s attitude towards life？A.Cautious． B．Worried． C Enthusiastic． D．Passive．23．What is the author’s formal occupation at the moment？A.She is a bank clerk．B．She is an accountant．C She is a writer of novels．D．She is a journalist for Huffington Post．24．What does the underlined word“curveballs”refer to in Paragraph 67A．Difficulties in life． B．Support from friends．C Hard sports games． D．Unforgettable experiences．BThere is a great need to train cultural diversity for teachers，given that the classrooms oftoday consist of diverse groups of students．The most direct way of training teachers is to hold as many interactive（互动的）activities in the class．One of the simplest and most effective activities is a game called“I Am"．In this game，each student is asked to write something about their name and provide other details about the name--like the meaning，how they got their name，and if they think they are anything like their name．This will provide an insight into the culture and background of that student．In another activity，all the students sit in a circle．Each student is called aside by the teacher and asked to pick two students from the circle whom they know nothing about．They are then asked to state a few things that they think about them，like their background，what their parents do，etc．Make sure that these questions are about the cultural background．It is important that these questions are predetermined so that it does not get too personal or offensive．Once each student is done giving their account，they are asked to come forward and answer the questions on the list．In no way is the choice of classmate and student divulged．This may help student realize what they had assumed about their classmates ‘wasn’t necessarily true．This opens up the minds of the students and changes their attitude to make them more accepting of their diversity．25．Why is it necessary for teachers to gain cultural diversity training？A More and more students become active．B．There are more students from diverse cultures．C .It’s teachers’ duty to make students more diverse．D．The students want their teacher to have international background．26．Which of the following statements will most probably be heard in the“I am”activity？A .Our teacher treats us as good friends．B．My family loves each other very muckC .My name Alexander represents bravery．D．I am from another city far away from here．27．The underlined word“divulged’’ in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to“A.connected B．fitted C.

ATwenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the d oor and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the ta xi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?” she asked.“Nothing.” I said.“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”21.

But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely tosuffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) consi ders to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.32. The text mainly discusses the relationship between .A. heart problems and air qualityB. heart problems and exercisingC. heart problems and smokingD. heart problems and fatty food33. The underlined word “modest” i n Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. relatively highB. extremely lowC. relatively lowD. extremely high34. What can we learn from the text? .A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.35. The author’s purpose of writing the tex t is most likely to .A. informB. persuadeC. describeD. entertain第二节七选五阅读(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
