Ⅳ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要谈论的是什么时候离开聚会最合适以及如何拒绝主人的餐后邀请。
1．G [空前“Regardless of which category you fall into，though，you must have secretly wondered about the best time to head out the door．”谈到人们参加聚会时都思考过什么时候离开最合适。空后“Not only do you want to avoid being impolite，but you also don't want to overstay your welcome．”谈到既要避免不礼貌地过早离开，又要考虑不过度逗留。对应G选项“找到离开聚会最自然的时间可能是一种艺术形式”。故选G。]
2．B [空前“According to Blaikie，there is a golden time to leave the gathering without appearing rude．”谈到了礼仪专家Blaikie认为礼貌地离开聚会有一个黄金时间，因此本段应该谈离开聚会的具体时间。根据后文内容可知，本空谈在工作日的晚上聚会的话，10：30是离开的黄金时间。故选B。]
3．A [上文说了工作日离开的最佳时间，结合本空后面一句“Aim to say your goodbyes at 11：15 pm．”实际上回答了如果在周末晚上聚会的话，什么时候离开最合适的问题。故选A。]
4．E [根据空后的内容“Chatting with a drink in your hand can easily make you lose track of the time．”和“After all，your host is tired out．”可知，本段在谈应该拒绝关于餐后饮品的邀请，因为这样会把控不了时间，况且主人也很累了。因此E选项作为本段主题句是最恰当的。故选E。]
5．F [本段第一句“This advice depends on how well you know your host，of course．”谈到了这些建议要根据你对主人的了解程度来使用。本空后面的“He also might appreciate it if you stayed behind to help clean up． In that case，you'll need to know the best cleaning tips for a dinner party．”暗示了好朋友可能真的希望你留下来帮助他清理。据此可推知，如果你拒绝餐后的邀请，你的好朋友可能会伤心。故选F。]

Music is often thought of as“easy” or“playtime”，but it's not that at all． Music plays a very important part in our education．
Students who learn music learn a lot of music history at school． This includes“modes(调式)”，which were used in some special occasions during the development of music． They are still used today． Students learn about the historical events that were taking place when the music they play was written． They learn what the music was used for． So much of our culture is in music and has been for centuries．
Music also helps with science． Students use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn't． Students also need science to understand something called the“overtone series”，which is about how music is produced by vibration(颤动) and why．
Students learn a lot about languages． Many songs are written in other languages，including ancient ones． Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about． Some songs are famous poems or short works set to music．
Students learn a huge amount of coordination(协调) through music，so parts of the body can work better together． Students must use fine motor skills in order to play an instrument． Singers and players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play．
Students learn about art． Some famous pieces were written about important works of art，and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music．
Music education also brings higher thinking to our children． It allows them to think about complex patterns (How can I make my part sound better？How do this music and these different parts fit together？)． Students have to know absolutely(完全地) what every other musician does at all times． In that way，it develops teamwork．
As one can see，music is very important to education besides bringing us fun．
4．Learning music is helpful to the following subjects EXCEPT__________．
A．science B．language

There are two types of party attendees (参加者): Those who count the minutes until they can go home，and those who stay until the early hours of morning．

According to Blaikie，there is a golden time to leave the gathering without appearing rude． 2 If it's a sit down dinner party，but you have to leave for something urgent，you should remain until all courses have been served． It's considered rude to leave before dessert． 3 Aim to say your goodbyes at 11：15 pm． Don't be the last person to leave．
4 Chatting with a drink in your hand can easily make you lose track of the time． And don't worry about hurting your host if you must turn down an offer． After all，your host is tired out．
This advice depends on how well you know your host，of course． 5 He also might appreciate it if you stayed behind to help clean up． In that case，you'll need to know the best cleaning tips for a dinner party．
