五、任务型阅读(每小题3 分, 共15 分)
阅读下面短文, 按要求完成36~40 题。
“Without music, life would be a mistake,” a famous German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. According to him, music is the only way to connect mind, body, and soul. A person finds himself/herself with the help of music.
But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to cut down the spending. For example, Chicago public schools cut art education when they fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among(A)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 the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like Science, Maths 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(B)focus on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is helpful 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 use their fingers to make sounds at the same time. This is an active exercise for the brain indeed.
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 was talented in playing the piano.
36. 用英语列举人们不重视音乐的两个具体事例。
①_______________________________________________________________
②_______________________________________________________________
37. 回答问题。What is Music Together

38. 从文中找出(A)处画线单词them 所指代的内容。

39. 根据上下文, 猜测(B)处画线短语focus on 的意思。
