2025辽宁省中考阅读D篇《歌唱祖国》的创作历程

"The Five-Starred Red Flag flies high ..."Whenever we hear the song,we will sing along.The song is called Ode to the Motherland(《歌唱祖国》).It was written by Wang Xin.

On October 1,1949,Wang Xin attended the Founding Ceremony(开国大典)of the People's Republic of China.He was deeply moved and decided to write a song at once for New China with his love and pride.He had many ideas but none was good enough to him.

One day in September 1950,on the way to Beijing Railway Station,Wang Xin walked past Tian'anmen Square.The moment he saw the Five Starred Red Flag flying in the wind,a few words for the song came into his mind.On the train back to Tianjin,when he saw the fields and mountains outside the window,the main part of the song began to take shape,“Over the mountains,across the plains(平原)… ”

When Wang Xin arrived home,he said with excitement,"I made it!I made it!"He completed the whole song right away.The next morning,he went to a local newspaper,hoping to get the song published.But it wasn't accepted.

However,Wang Xin didn't give up.He led a music group to perform the song in different places.The song really brought people power,pride and more love for the country.

In September 1951,Ode to the Motherland was finally published in the People's Daily and got popular across the country.From then on,it was sung during many important national events.

Wang Xin once said,"I've written many works in my life,but I believe I've only written ‘two songs'.One is Ode to the Motherland,a song written with musical notes(音符),and the other is a song written for the motherland with all my heart."

1.1.Why does the writer begin the text with part of a song?

A To answer a question.

B To catch readers' interest.

C To start a conversation.

D To introduce the writer's plan.

解析：选B。B.细节理解题。题干问 “作者以歌词开头的原因”。文章开篇引用《歌唱祖国》的经典歌词，该歌曲家喻户晓，能快速唤起读者共鸣，吸引读者兴趣，引出下文对歌曲创作背景的介绍。A “回答问题”、C “开启对话”、D “介绍作者计划” 均不符合文意，故选 B。

2.2.When did Wang Xin decide to write a song for New China?

A In October 1949.

B In September 1950.

C In October 1950.

D In September 1951.

解析：选A。A.细节理解题。题干问 “王莘何时决定为新中国写歌”。定位第二段首句 “On October 1, 1949... He was deeply moved and decided to write a song at once for New China”，明确时间为 1949 年 10 月，对应选项 A。B、C、D 均为后续创作或发表时间，排除。

3.3.What spirit can we learn from Wang Xin?

A Never giving up.

B Never showing off.

C Keeping on learning.

D Helping those in need.

解析：选A。A.推理判断题。题干问 “从王莘身上能学到什么精神”。第四段提到歌曲被报社拒绝，第五段转折 “However, Wang Xin didn't give up”，随后带领团队各地演唱，最终成功发表。这体现了他 “永不放弃” 的精神，对应选项 A。B “不炫耀”、C “坚持学习”、D “帮助他人” 在文中均无体现，排除。

解析：选D。D.推理判断题。题干问 “从王莘最后一段的话中可推断出什么”。王莘将《歌唱祖国》与 “用全部真心为祖国谱写的歌” 并列，强调后者是 “用真心” 创作，本质是表达对祖国的深厚热爱。A “他一生唱了两首歌”（原文是 “写了两首歌”，偷换概念）、B “他用心对待自己的生活”（核心是对待祖国，而非个人生活）、C “他在两个城市写了一首歌”（仅为创作过程中的地点，非核心推断）均不符合题意，故选 D。
