“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.
For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus（关注）on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is useful in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck did well in playing the piano.
31．Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ______.
A．they were too difficult to learn B．students in the US weren’t interested in music
C．the schools wanted to control budgets D．there weren’t enough music teachers in the US
32．In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them” refer to（指代）
A．Fired teachers. B．Public schools. C．Parents in Chicago. D．Students in Chicago.
33．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A．Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.
B．Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.
C．Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.
D．Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.
34．How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
35．What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage
A．Music is as simple as it looks. B．Music classes should be cut in some schools.
C．Music is a big part of our lives. D．Music isn’t a very important life skill for us.

A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement, Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical （古典的）art form and its history should be paid attention to.
A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW, Robert Walker, argues that all students should study the works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage （遗产）because they fail to study classical music, as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack （缺乏）of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist （专业的） music teachers.
A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions, but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.
"I'm not against pop music, but it's very simple, and not difficult either to play or to sing, " Professor Walker says. "But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australia's culture heritage, most children learn it only through Hollywood films. "
"At least children ought to know what's happening in Western culture. It's part of culture heritage," he says. "Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West. "
Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain, Canada and Australia and is a former chief （首席的）examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum （课程）in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study , such as the Mendelssohn's.
"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music, others on Elvis Presley, or on any music the teacher wants to teach. The situation should be changed as soon as possible, " he says.
36. What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion
A. Children know nothing about their culture heritage.
B. Classical music education isn't valued in schools.
C. Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.
D. Australian schools need more specialist music teachers.
37. According to the passage, students should study classical music because it is _____________ .
A. part of culture heritage B. good for their growing up
C. difficult to play and sing D. popular only in Asia
38. According to the passage, which one is different from the other three
A. Haydn. B. Tchaikovsky. C. Mendelssohn. D. Elvis Presley.
39. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker
A. He worries about the music education in schools.
B. He thinks pop music teaching shouldn't be allowed.
C. He is well known in Western classical music teaching.
D. He has worked in Britain, Canada and Australia.
40. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _____________ .
A. music teachers should teach anything that they like
B. most children today are brought up by their music teachers
C. music teachers shouldn't teach the music of Elvis Presley at all
D. children's music education today depends on their teacher 's taste
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. B 40. D
【解析】文章主要描述了音乐教育的缺失，应该更多关注古典音乐以古典艺术形式及其历史。
36.细节理解题，根据文中的第3段The lack of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist music teachers．音乐教学的缺乏是非常严重的，尤其是在没有足够的专业音乐教师的公立学校，可知古典音乐在学校不受重视，故答案是B。
37.细节理解题，根据文中的第3段 Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage because they fail to study classical music，可知Walker教授说，因为他们没有学习古典音乐，所以学生们错过了文化遗产的一个重要部分，故答案是A。
48.细节理解题，根据文中的第2段all students should study the works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky．所有学生都要学习海顿、柴可夫斯基等西方古典作曲家的作品及倒数第2段such as the Mendelssohn's．比如门德尔松的，可知这三个人都是古典人物的代表，所以D与以上三人不同，故答案是D。
38推理判断题，根据文中的第5段"I'm not against pop music，but it's very simple我不反对流行音乐，但它很简单，可知不是禁止，所以B错误，故答案是B。
40.细节理解题，根据文中的最后一段"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music， others on Elvis Presley， or on any music the teacher wants to teach．可知现在的孩子学什么，完全取决于老师想教什么，故答案是D。

Ye Xiaogang is regarded as one of the most famous modern Chinese composers(作曲家). He learned to play the piano at the age of four. His father was a composer who wrote a lot of music for films. But when the ＂cultural revolution＂(文革) began, his father was sent to a farm to work. Ye was only 11 at that time. Ye had to work on another farm for a year before entering a factory. He worked in the factory for six years until he was 22.
The workers in the factory were friendly and helped him a lot, but he could not play the piano anymore. No matter how hard he worked on the farm or in the factory, he always believed that he did not belong there. He never left music. He just waited for opportunities. He dreamed of becoming a pianist. When the ＂cultural revolution＂ ended, Ye could play the piano again.
He practiced hard every day in order to go to the Central Conservatory of Music(中央音乐学院) in 1978, but the school would not recruit(招收) piano students that year. In the end, Ye chose composition as his major, although he was not familiar with it. Because of his hard work, Ye soon became one of the best students at the Central Conservatory of Music.
In 1980, he studied at Cambridge University. Then he went to a famous school of music in the US in 1987 to take more courses. As a famous composer in China, Ye worked for many organizations.

“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.
For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus（关注）on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is useful in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck did well in playing the piano.
31．Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ______.
A．they were too difficult to learn B．students in the US weren’t interested in music
C．the schools wanted to control budgets D．there weren’t enough music teachers in the US
32．In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them” refer to（指代）
A．Fired teachers. B．Public schools. C．Parents in Chicago. D．Students in Chicago.
33．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A．Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.
B．Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.
C．Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.
D．Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.
34．How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
35．What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage
A．Music is as simple as it looks. B．Music classes should be cut in some schools.
C．Music is a big part of our lives. D．Music isn’t a very important life skill for us.
D
A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement, Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical （古典的）art form and its history should be paid attention to.
A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW, Robert Walker, argues that all students should study the works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage （遗产）because they fail to study classical music, as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack （缺乏）of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist （专业的） music teachers.
A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions, but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.
"I'm not against pop music, but it's very simple, and not difficult either to play or to sing, " Professor Walker says. "But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australia's culture heritage, most children learn it only through Hollywood films. "
"At least children ought to know what's happening in Western culture. It's part of culture heritage," he says. "Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West. "
Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain, Canada and Australia and is a former chief （首席的）examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum （课程）in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study , such as the Mendelssohn's.
"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music, others on Elvis Presley, or on any music the teacher wants to teach. The situation should be changed as soon as possible, " he says.
36. What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion
A. Children know nothing about their culture heritage.
B. Classical music education isn't valued in schools.
C. Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.
D. Australian schools need more specialist music teachers.
37. According to the passage, students should study classical music because it is _____________ .
A. part of culture heritage B. good for their growing up
C. difficult to play and sing D. popular only in Asia
38. According to the passage, which one is different from the other three
A. Haydn. B. Tchaikovsky. C. Mendelssohn. D. Elvis Presley.
39. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker
A. He worries about the music education in schools.
B. He thinks pop music teaching shouldn't be allowed.
C. He is well known in Western classical music teaching.
D. He has worked in Britain, Canada and Australia.
40. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _____________ .
A. music teachers should teach anything that they like
B. most children today are brought up by their music teachers
C. music teachers shouldn't teach the music of Elvis Presley at all
D. children's music education today depends on their teacher 's taste
