Passage 6
(2024届湖南省长沙市雅礼中学高三下学期二模英语试题)The list of music festivals seems to double each year, so we think we’d save you some time by presenting our picks that reflect a deep sense of place.
New Orleans Jazz Festival
This week-long festival was established in New Orleans, America in 1970 to celebrate the city’s status as the birthplace of jazz. Headliners that attended the first celebration included singer Mahalia Jackson and pianist Duke Ellington. Over the years, this festival has grown to showcase much more than jazz. Attendees have long enjoyed
the latest hit-makers alongside booths and exhibits featuring Louisiana’s native cuisine, arts, and crafts.
Newport Folk Festival
Founded by George Wein in 1959 and best known for introducing the world to the likes of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, Newport Folk Festival is one of the oldest music festivals in America. Like New Orleans Jazz Festival, this Rhode Island event gives a false impression about the types of music one can expect to find, although it has been remaining true to its roots.
Interceltic Festival
When most people hear the word “Celtic”, they think of Ireland. But this festival takes place each summer in the heart of the seaport town of Lorient in northwestern France. While emphasizing music and dance, the ten-day festival also provides a platform for colorful expressions of Celtic art, food and drink, theater, literature, and sports.
Roskilde Music Festival
England’s Glastonbury, Hungary’s Sziget, and Denmark’s Roskilde are Europe’s three biggest music festivals. Roskilde stands out not only for its impressive and eclectic music, but for its nonprofit approach. All concert incomes are donated to support charities, music and cultural programs since its founding in 1971. With lake swimming, an on-site skate park, and an annual “naked run”, the event has earned a name for being a week-long summer camp for adults.

Dear readers,
“Persist.”—Viet Thanh Nguyen
“Success is no accident.”—Chris Bohjalian
“Keep writing and it’ll get easier.”—Lisa Jewell
“Be patient with yourself.”—Min Jin Lee
These are words of advice taken from our interviews with award-winning and bestselling authors. Notice,
though, not a single mention of their status, prizes, or advances—in other words, their success.

That’s what all of these pieces of advice have in common: putting words on the page.
In this issue, you’ll find articles to help you succeed, no matter your goals. If it’s to figure out whether that mess of a novel you’ve got sitting in a drawer can be rescued or if you need to move on, Andromeda Romano’s article will offer questions to ask yourself. Michael La Ronn’s essay will give you an example of how an unexpected opportunity might be just the push you need. Or, if you’ve had trouble finding an agent, Ryan Van Cleave’s collection of tips and advice from 22 literary agents on every aspect of the business might change your luck. Matty Dalrymple shares ways to reach more readers and build a community with them.

Passage 5
(23-24高三下·江西·阶段练习)Here are the Disney movies recommended by Brandon Dammit for this weekend.
Fantasia 2000
Budget: $80 million
Score: 75%
I remember disliking Fantasia 2000 in theaters as a young child, but I have developed a much deeper appreciation for the fantastic music as an adult. Disney has employed advanced sound tools to produce a movie that was under-appreciated at its first appearance.
Pete’s Dragon
Budget: $65 million
Score: 60%
I love Disney as much as the younger generation. But it’s disappointing to see flavorless remakes like The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast harvest billions at the box office while more soulful remakes like Pete’s Dragon is largely ignored.
The Rescuers Down Under
Budget: $38 million
Score: 70%
I won’t lie to you, kind reader. The Rescuers Down Under is the only movie that I’ve never seen here and my honor won’t allow me to pretend otherwise. According to Disney, it’s about the world’s bravest mice, Bernard and Bianca, who race to Australia to save a boy and a rare golden eagle from a cruel hunter. So, you know, normal Disney stuff.
The Great Mouse Detective
Budget: $14 million
Score: 72%
Picture this: a young mouse named Olivia is committed to discovering the truth of her father’s disappearance in 1897 London, and she got the help from his friends, Dr. Dawson and Toby. It’s basically Disney’s Sherlock Holmes.
1. What does Brandon Dammit like about Fantasia 2000
A. The plot. B. The dialogue. C. The music. D. The actors.
2. Which remake should receive better acceptance according to Brandon Dammit
A. The Lion King. B. Pete’s Dragon.
C. Beauty and the Beast. D. The Rescuers Down Under.
3. How much has Disney spent on the Great Mouse Detective
A. $14 million. B. $ 38 million. C. $ 65 million. D. $80 million.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A

2. 细节理解题。根据Pete’s Drago部分中“But it’s disappointing to see flavorless remakes like The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast harvest billions at the box office while more soulful remakes like Pete’s Dragon is largely ignored.(但令人失望的是,像《狮子王》和《美女与野兽》这样乏味的翻拍电影收获了数十亿美元的票房,而像《皮特的龙》这样更深情的翻拍电影却基本上被忽视了)”可知,根据Brandon Dammit的说法,《皮特的龙》翻拍版应该得到更好的接受。故选B。
3. 细节理解题。根据The Great Mouse Detective部分中“Budget: $14 million(预算:1400万美元)”可知,迪士

West Side Music Together
About
WSMT is an internationally recognized early childhood music and movement program for children from birth through age 5 and the grownups who look after them. First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based and developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
When you participate, you will receive our current songbook and CD, and you can download your music through our award-winning Hello Everybody app using your Music Together account. You’ll also have access to our WSMT Family Portal, where we will share musical inspiration, play-at-home videos and activities to try at home.
Connection to the Community
Our classes become communities themselves and families can often be seen at parks and local cafes together after class. Families really get time to know each other over the course of our ten-week programs and we also offer free community events each year to registered families.
Additional Information
Our mission is to provide the highest quality music and movement experiences to as many young children as possible and to involve their parents and other adult caregivers as their primary guides. All classes include one of our nine award-winning music collections and our free Hello Everybody app.
Our mixed-age family classes follow the recommendations of child development researchers--grouping children of a variety of ages--because this fosters(促进) natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating(模仿) older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones. Each child participates at his or her own level in singing, moving, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments. Their caregivers also go together.

(2024届湖南省长沙市雅礼中学高三下学期二模英语试题)The list of music festivals seems to double each year, so we think we’d save you some time by presenting our picks that reflect a deep sense of place.
New Orleans Jazz Festival
This week-long festival was established in New Orleans, America in 1970 to celebrate the city’s status as the birthplace of jazz. Headliners that attended the first celebration included singer Mahalia Jackson and pianist Duke Ellington. Over the years, this festival has grown to showcase much more than jazz. Attendees have long enjoyed the latest hit-makers alongside booths and exhibits featuring Louisiana’s native cuisine, arts, and crafts.
Newport Folk Festival
Founded by George Wein in 1959 and best known for introducing the world to the likes of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, Newport Folk Festival is one of the oldest music festivals in America. Like New Orleans Jazz Festival, this Rhode Island event gives a false impression about the types of music one can expect to find, although it has been remaining true to its roots.
Interceltic Festival
When most people hear the word “Celtic”, they think of Ireland. But this festival takes place each summer in the heart of the seaport town of Lorient in northwestern France. While emphasizing music and dance, the ten-day festival also provides a platform for colorful expressions of Celtic art, food and drink, theater, literature, and sports.
Roskilde Music Festival
England’s Glastonbury, Hungary’s Sziget, and Denmark’s Roskilde are Europe’s three biggest music festivals. Roskilde stands out not only for its impressive and eclectic music, but for its nonprofit approach. All concert incomes are donated to support charities, music and cultural programs since its founding in 1971. With lake swimming, an on-site skate park, and an annual “naked run”, the event has earned a name for being a week-long summer camp for adults.

2. Who started Newport Folk Festival

Dear readers,
“Persist.”—Viet Thanh Nguyen
“Success is no accident.”—Chris Bohjalian
“Keep writing and it’ll get easier.”—Lisa Jewell
“Be patient with yourself.”—Min Jin Lee
These are words of advice taken from our interviews with award-winning and bestselling authors. Notice, though, not a single mention of their status, prizes, or advances—in other words, their success. And while status, literary awards, and money can be indicators of a successful writer, one must actually sit down and write for any of those things to happen.

(23-24高三下·江西·阶段练习)Here are the Disney movies recommended by Brandon Dammit for this weekend.
Fantasia 2000
Budget: $80 million
Score: 75%
I remember disliking Fantasia 2000 in theaters as a young child, but I have developed a much deeper appreciation for the fantastic music as an adult. Disney has employed advanced sound tools to produce a movie that was under-appreciated at its first appearance.
Pete’s Dragon
Budget: $65 million
Score: 60%
I love Disney as much as the younger generation. But it’s disappointing to see flavorless remakes like The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast harvest billions at the box office while more soulful remakes like Pete’s Dragon is largely ignored.
The Rescuers Down Under
Budget: $38 million
Score: 70%
I won’t lie to you, kind reader. The Rescuers Down Under is the only movie that I’ve never seen here and my honor won’t allow me to pretend otherwise. According to Disney, it’s about the world’s bravest mice, Bernard and Bianca, who race to Australia to save a boy and a rare golden eagle from a cruel hunter. So, you know, normal Disney stuff.
The Great Mouse Detective
Budget: $14 million
Score: 72%
Picture this: a young mouse named Olivia is committed to discovering the truth of her father’s disappearance in 1897 London, and she got the help from his friends, Dr. Dawson and Toby. It’s basically Disney’s Sherlock Holmes.

Mother Play
Outside of D. C., Phyllis is supervising her teenage children, Carl and Martha, as they move into a new apartment. Phyllis has strong ideas about what her children need to do and how to succeed, and troubles the child faces when finding their own bining flares of imaginative theatricality, surreal farce, and deep tenderness, this beautiful rollercoaster ride reveals timeless truths of love, family, and forgiveness.
