In all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that people devote much time to its study.

二、阅读短文,回答问题(答案不超过5个单词)
One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven-string zither(七弦琴),also known as the guqin, one of the four arts— along with go, calligraphy and painting. It first appeared over 3,000 years ago and represents China's solo musical instrument tradition.
At first, the guqin had only five strings, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later. in the Zhou dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son, King Wu ofZhou, added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.
Ambience(环境气氛) was important in playing the Chinese zither. Usually, it was practised in quiet setting and never for public performance.
Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed
184
with the echoes(回音) from the mountains, until the musician found himself at one with nature.Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also. a night with moonlight was considered ideal for playing the guqin.Wang Wei(701-761), a highly talented man of the Tang dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.
Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long, with the longest being GuanglingVerse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements,Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute.
Nowadays, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible CulturalHeritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产) in 2003.
1. How many years of history does the guqin have
2. What does the guqin represent
3. How many strings does a guqin have now
4. In what kind of ambience is the guqin usually played
5. When did the guqin and its music enter the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
三、首字母填空
How important is music When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often c 1 only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In f 2 , music education is necessary and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the creators’ thinking and values, as 3 as the social environment it came from. For e 4 , just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle, too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American b 5 it came from American musical traditions.
Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains h 6 the sun rises and sets. Music explorers the emotive(情感的) meanings. We need every possible way to discover and response to our world because no one way can get it all.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings“talk” to each other. T 7 the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be s 8 with others. When we do not let our children r 9 good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music d 10 .
So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.
