Ⅴ.阅读理解
“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our daily 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(解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 per cent 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, 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 focus on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is beneficial 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 programme. 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 was talented in playing the piano.

A.students in the US aren’t interested in Music

( )28.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A.public schools B.teachers that were fired

( )29.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A.Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.
B.Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.
C.Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.
D.Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.
( )30.How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
( )31.What’s the writer’s opinion according to the passage

C.Music is a big part of our daily lives. D.Music isn’t a very important life skill for us.
