Module 4 Music (建议用时：35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2023年·长沙统一模拟)Kendrick Lamar hasn’t had much luck when it comes to winning a Grammy. But that’s OK：The US rapper has just won a Pulitzer Prize for his music. In 2014, in 2016, and again in 2023年, Lamar was nominated(提名) for an album of the year Grammy. Each time, he was beaten out, first by Taylor Swift, next by Daft Punk, and most recently by Bruno Mars. But the Pulitzer Prize committee was inspired enough by Lamar’s 2017 album, Damn., to award the Pulitzer Prize in music on April 16. It’s an amazing album that documents the real life of modern African­Americans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms. Lamar’s win is considered to be historical. The Pulitzers have long displayed their preference towards high art rather than the pop culture of the masses. So it’s not just that no rapper has ever won a Pulitzer: no pop music maker has ever won one in the award’s history. But Lamar is not just a singer—he’s clever at using language. Like the best writers, his music describes small moments that illustrate larger points. His songs are about his experience as a black man who grew up in California, struggled, got into trouble, and found his way out by working hard and making sense of the history and reality in the US. “He’s an artist who challenges ideas，” said Ryan Coogler, director of the blockbuster(大片) Black Panther, for which Lamar created music. “One big theme in our film is this idea of ‘What does it mean to be African？’ Lamar in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question.” Good artists entertain us, great artists make us think, and exceptional artists help us empathize(产生共鸣)． There are a lot of good, great, even exceptional artists in rock, pop, country, and hip­hop. But only Lamar has won a Pulitzer Prize. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。美国说唱歌手Kendrick Lamar以说唱歌手的身份获得了普利策奖。 1．What is Lamar’s album Damn. about? A．African­Americans’ history and culture.

While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses. “We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity，” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil. “What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well­being.” Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montreal­based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood. According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity. The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. “What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain，” she says. “When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life.” “I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century，” said Bondil. “Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。参观博物馆不仅能让人们受到艺术的熏陶，还能舒缓心情、治疗疾病。
