Module 4 Music Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading-Pre-reading
Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana in 1958. He was the seventh of nine children. He was five years old when he began singing with his brothers in a group called the Jackson 5.
Michael was the star of the group — the Jackson 5. He was the lead singer and danced with great energy. His extraordinary skill and presence on stage was remarkable, especially for someone so young.
In 1982, Jackson released Thriller. The album was not just the best-selling album of all time. It also won eight Grammy Awards and seven American Music Awards. And it helped establish the popularity of a new form of entertainment, music videos.
Michael Jackson was a huge success, but he was also a very troubled man. His behaviors and appearance became increasingly strange. He had many operations to change his face. Jackson bought a huge property in California and he had amusement park rides, a zoo and a large movie theater built for his home. Michael Jackson also went into major debt. And he suffered frominjuries and illnesses that reportedly led him to takemany kinds of pain-killing medicines.
Michael Jackson died on June 25th, 2009 of heart failure. He was just days away from launching a series of 50 concerts in London.

An Interview with Liu Fang
Part 1
Liu Fang is an international music star, famous for① her work with traditional Chinese instruments. She was born in 1974 and has played the pipa since the age of six. She's givenconcerts② since she was eleven, including③ a performance for the Queen of England during her visit to China. She graduated from④ the Shanghai Conservatory⑤ of Music, where she also studied the guzheng in 1993⑥.
What is your musical training and background?
My mother is a Dianju actress. Dianju is a kind of Chinese opera, which includes singing, dancing and acting⑦. When I was a child, she took me to performances⑧. I listened to music before I could speak! When I was five years old, she taught me to play⑨ the yueqin.
In 1990, when I was 15 years old, I went to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, where I studied the pipa and the guzheng⑩. After I graduated, I went back to my hometown of Kunming and worked as? a pipa soloist? of the Kunming Music and Dance Troupe. In 1996, I moved to Canada with my husband and I have been living? there since then.

刘芳专访
第1部分
刘芳是一位国际知名的音乐家，因弹奏中国传统乐器而闻名。她出生于1974年，从6岁起就开始弹奏琵琶。从11岁起她就开始举办音乐会，包括英国女王访华期间为女王做的一场表演。她毕业于上海音乐学院，1993年她还在那里学习弹奏古筝。
谈谈您在音乐方面的训练情况及背景，好吗？
我母亲是一名滇剧演员。滇剧是中国戏剧的一种，它包括声乐、舞蹈及表演。当我小的时候，母亲就带我去看表演。在会说话前，我就聆听音乐！当我5岁的时候，她教我弹月琴。
1990年，我15岁的时候去了上海音乐学院，在那里，我学习了琵琶和古筝。毕业后，我回到故乡昆明，并在昆明歌舞团做了一名琵琶独奏演员。1996年，我和丈夫一起移居加拿大，从那时起我就一直住在那里。
What are the biggest challenges?of playing the pipa and the guzheng?
If your technique is not good enough, it is impossible to play classical Chinese pipa music?. Also, the repertoire? for the pipa is large — some pieces were written during the Tang Dynasty.
There are many different pipa schools, and each one has its special way? of interpreting? the classical pieces. The biggest challenge is to respect the traditions but to add my own style. The same is true of? my second instrument, the guzheng.
?challenge n．挑战
take up a challenge接受挑战
rise to the challenge迎接挑战
?If your technique is not good enough是条件状语从句；it is impossible to do sth.“做某事是不可能的”，it作形式主语，动词不定式短语作真正的主语。
?repertoire/'rep??twɑ?/n.演奏曲目，演出节目
?(the) way of doing [＝(the) way to do]做……的方法
?interpret/In't??prIt/v.诠释，解释；翻译
?(be) true of/for与……情况相同
弹奏琵琶和古筝的最大挑战是什么？
如果你的技术不够好，就不可能弹奏中国古典琵琶曲。另外，琵琶弹奏曲目很多——一些作品作于唐代。,琵琶流派很多，每个流派都有自己独特的诠释古典作品的方式。最大的挑战是在尊重传统的同时还要融入我自己的风格。对于我的第二种乐器——古筝，情况也是如此。
Part 2
Who or what are your musical influences?？
The main influence is traditional singing. I listened to traditional opera singing and folk songs in my childhood. Now when I am playing a tune， I am singing in my heart. When I'm playing a sad tune, I am crying in my heart. Listeners often say that they can hear singing in my music.
What characteristicsof Chinese classical music do you try to show in your playing?
Firstly， Chinese music is similar to the Chinese language. In Chinese, the same pronunciation with different tones has different meanings. The same is true for music. Secondly, classical Chinese music is closely connected to Chinese poetry， so it isn't surprising that most classical pieces have very poetic titles. Thirdly, classical Chinese music and traditional Chinese painting are like twin sisters. In Chinese art, there are some empty spaces, which are very important. They give life to the whole painting and they allow people to come into the picture, like a dialogue.
It'sthe same with classical Chinese music. There are empty spaces, and people say the silence is full of music. The pipa sounds and the pauses combine to make a poetry of sound. Listeners can experience the power and the beauty of the music, like enjoying a beautiful poem or painting.

第2部分
谈谈哪些人或事对您在音乐方面产生了影响，好吗？
最主要的影响是传统音乐。我在年幼时就听传统戏剧和民歌。现在每当我演奏一支曲子时，我都会在心中吟唱。当我演奏哀伤的乐曲时，我的内心在哭泣。听众常说他们能在我的乐曲中听到歌声。
在您的演奏中您想展示中国古典音乐的什么特征？
首先，中国音乐跟汉语相似。在汉语中，读音相同音调不同，意义就不同。音乐也是如此。其次，中国古典音乐与中国诗歌密切相关，因此大部分古典音乐作品都带有很诗意的标题就不足为奇了。再次，中国古典音乐与国画像孪生姐妹。在中国国画中，留有一些空白，这些空白非常重要。它们给整幅画带来生机，也使得观众融入图画，就像与图画进行对话。
中国古典音乐也是如此。乐曲中有停顿，人们认为这种停顿静谧之中充满了音乐。琵琶的声音和乐曲中的停顿结合在一起，给声音赋予了诗意。听众们可以感受音乐的力量、音乐的美，就像享受一首美妙的诗歌或一幅美丽的图画一样。
Part 3
What do you like best about performing live?
I enjoy playing and I enjoy performing in public. I like the atmosphere in a concert hall and I always feel happy when I have a concert. I feel a little depressed or lonely when there is no concert for a long time. I also enjoy the time immediately after the concert to share the feelings and ideas with friends and music lovers, listening to their impressions and understanding about the music. I love my career. I also enjoy travelling: I enjoy sitting in a plane dreaming， or staying in a hotel.
in public公开地，当众
depress/dI'pres/v.使沮丧，使意志消沉，使心灰意冷
share (the) feelings and ideas with与……分享感受与想法
listening to ...和understanding ...均为现在分词短语作伴随状语。
career n．职业，生涯
career soldier/teacher职业军人/教师
现在分词dreaming作伴随状语；sitting和staying都是动名词，作enjoy的宾语。
第3部分
关于现场演出您最喜欢的是什么？
我喜欢弹琴，也喜欢当众演奏。我喜欢音乐厅中的氛围并且每当我举办音乐会的时候，我总是感到快乐。当很长一段时间没有音乐会时，我会感到有点儿失落或孤独。我同样喜欢音乐会后立即和朋友及音乐爱好者们分享感受、交流看法，听听他们谈论对我的音乐的印象和理解。我热爱我的职业。我也喜欢旅游：我喜欢坐在飞机上幻想，或者待在旅馆里。
What are your goalsas an artist?
I don't have a particular goal. But I hope to work with many composers， and I also wish to compose my own music. My background is traditional Chinese music. Since I moved to Canada, I have had opportunities to make contact with other musical traditions and play with mastermusicians. I wish to continue working with master musicians from other traditions and to be able to compose my own music， using elements from different cultures. I also wish to introduce classical Chinese pipa and guzheng music to every corner of the world.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A couple of years ago, music psychologist Elizabeth Margulis decided to make some changes to the music of Luciano Berio. Berio was one of the most famous classical composers of the 20th century. After loading his most famous piece into a computer editing program, she just randomly started cutting.
The idea behind this act was simple: Margulis wanted to see if she could make people like Berio's music more by making it more repetitive.
Margulis knew that 90 percent of the music we listen to is music we've heard before. We return again and again to our favorite songs, listening over and over to the same musical riffs (重复乐段), which themselves repeat over and over inside the music, and she'd become obsessed with understanding why repetition is so compelling (引人入胜的). This is why she was razoring (剃) the music of Berio — because his music isn't at all repetitive.
We are drawn to repetition. It surrounds us, not just in modern American pop music, Margulis says, but everywhere. “Musical repetitiveness isn't really an individual feature of music that's arisen over the past few hundred years in the West，” she says. “It seems to be a cultural universal. Not only does every known human culture make music, but also, every known human culture makes music in which repetition is a defining (典型的) element.”
Why? One part of the answer is what's known as the mere exposure effect.
Psychologists have found that people tend to start off wary (谨慎的) of — or even unfriendly to — new things, which makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. But then the act of mere exposure changes our feelings. We typically feel more warmly toward things we encounter again and again.
So mere exposure is one of the reasons we respond so well to repetition — both of music and in music — but Margulis clearly doesn't think it's the whole story. She says repetition also allows us to shift (转移) our attention around, from the surface aspects of the music to other aspects. So basically, part of what the repetition in music allows us to do is leave ourselves. In some small way, it allows us to shift and adjust our reality. And reality can often use some adjusting.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。主要介绍了为什么我们在听音乐的时候，会发现音乐总是重复及重复的作用等。
1．Why did Margulis change Berio's music?
A．To find the role of repetition.
B．To show her talent in music.
C．To make his music more famous.
D．To test a computer editing program.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段的“if she could make people like Berio's music more by making it more repetitive”和第三段的“she'd become obsessed with understanding why repetition is so compelling”可知，她这样做的原因就是想了解音乐重复的作用。
2．If we hear new music again and again, we ________.
A．can't deal with its sound better
B．tend to be cautious of it very much
C．may expect something from it consciously
D．won't know when we have heard it
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“But then the ...again and again.”可知，如果我们反复听新的音乐，我们或许会有意识地从中期望一些东西。
3．From the last paragraph, we can infer the repetition makes us ________.
A．experience the content of the songs
B．respond to the whole music better
C．remember the words of songs clearly
D．shift our experience of reality around us
解析：选D 细节理解题。结合最后一段的“She says repetition ...adjust our reality.”可知，音乐中的重复会使我们从事情的表面看到其他的方面，以及暂时的逃离现实等。
4．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．To play music again and again
B．To be exposed to music fully
C．To enjoy the beauty of music
D．To find the secret to musical effects
解析：选A 标题归纳题。本文主要解释了为什么音乐中会有不断地重复，以及这种音乐的重复起着什么作用等情况，因此A项符合主题。
B
Marc Yu, a nine-year-old boy from California, has achieved more than most musicians do in their whole life. He has learned two musical instruments, played the piano at the most famous US concerts and won a couple of musical scholarship.
Marc was an unusual child even as a baby. At just six months of age, he would sit through a two-hour classical music concert. By the time he was two, he started to read and sing Beethovensymphonies (交响曲). While his mother thought this was unusual, she did not realize his musical gifts until he was at a friend's party and started to play a nursery rhyme on the piano.
With lessons from his mom and then a professional teacher, Marc's skills improved a lot. By the time he was five, he had learned another musical instrument — the cello(大提琴). When he was just six and a half, he picked up a famous prize — the Davidson Fellowship in Music, which is usually given to musicians 18 or older.
After making his orchestra debut (初次演出) at the age of six, there has been no looking back for this musical genius. He is always traveling, either to perform at concerts or for piano lessons.
On August 31st, Marc will perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, one of the world's most famous concert halls. He will be playing the piano alongside Lang Lang, a classical pianist, who has performed at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Games.
While Marc, who is home-schooled, likes his music very much and practices 5－6 hours a day, he is by no means a bookworm (书呆子). He loves to play soccer with his friends and has a great sense of humor.
语篇解读：本文是记叙文。文章介绍了一位九岁的音乐天才。

A．e-a-b-d-c B．e-d-a-b-c
C．b-c-e-d-a D．e-d-a-c-b
解析：选B 事件排序题。根据第二、三、四段中的时间点“six months of age, he was two, he was five, he was just six and a half, at the age of six”可知。
6．After Marc's first performance, he ________.
A．is popular all over the world
B．has won a musical scholarship
C．starts to learn from Lang Lang
D．often travels to perform or learn piano
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He is always traveling, either to perform at concerts or for piano lessons.”可知。
7．According to the text, Marc ________.
A．is skilled at playing two musical instruments
B．performed well at the Royal Albert Hall
C．now learns music from his mother

解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He has learned two musical instruments”可知，他擅长两种乐器。
C
The playing field is never even (不相上下的) or equal. Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome. Knowing what you can do to have an advantage can be the difference in success or failure.
My kids tell me it's unfair to play with the big children; I tell them that's right. Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It is true that many things in the world are unfair. But unfair things usually can be a boon for you. For example, the early bird catches the worm. It is unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast but it is nice to know that if he gets up early he is sure to get the worm.
I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair the thing is will get them nowhere. Instead, make use of it and get on the other side of it. Once you do that you are at an advantage. Above all, you have to focus on gaining the unfair advantage and you have to build your inner strength. When you empower yourself (武装自己), you are gaining skills or abilities, confidence and self esteem (自尊). You should look at your place in the world. Where do you want to be financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically? You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.
You can build all the advantages that you need to live the life that you want. If you haven't yet, you need to make a list of all the things you want to experience in your new life. This will help you focus on building the advantage so that you never have to say that it's Not Fair. When you do this then you will be able to realize that Not Fair is a good thing and you will want to teach those around you to see Not Fair in this way too.
语篇解读：作者的孩子抱怨球场上存在不公平，事实上，世界上不公平的事情很多。我们不必抱怨不公平，因为抱怨无用。正确的态度是利用不公平，找到自己的优势，转到不公平的另一面，当自己强大了就不会认为事情不公平。
8．The author uses the example of the playing field to ________.
A．support his opinion
B．introduce his topic
C．tell us that having an advantage is needed
D．show that skills and attitudes are important in playing games
解析：选B 推理判断题。作者在本文的观点是不公平是件好事，他用球场上的不公平引出他的话题，因此选B。
9．What does the underlined word “boon” in Para.2 probably mean?
A．Something that is very terrible.
B．Something that is very kind.
C．Something that is very helpful.
D．Something that is very scared.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Unfairness is a good ...in the world are unfair.”可知，不公平是一件好事。当事情看起来不公平时，通过努力将会获得更多。事实上世界上的许多事情都是不公平的。由此可知，不公平的事情通常会使你受益。
10．You are told to look at your place in the world in order to ________.
A．be proud of yourself
B．make yourself well known
C．have more confidence
D．find out what you lack
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第三段最后三句话可知，你应该看清自己的位置。在经济、精神、情感和身体上，你想要到什么地步？由此推知，作者在此处告诉你要了解自己，即明白自己还有哪些不足之处，目的是为了进一步提高自己。
11．What does the author mainly tell readers in the article?
A．How to live a happy new life.
B．Being calm when treated badly.
C．The right attitude to the unfair.
D．Being patient enough to succeed.
解析：选C 主旨大意题。通读全文后可知，作者认为不公平并不是件坏事。根据全文最后一句可知，当你这样做的时候，你将会意识到不公平是件好事，而且你也想要你周围的人用这样的方式看待不公平。由此推知，作者在本文主要是告诉读者用正确的态度对待不公平。

Street Music
It's a warm Saturday afternoon in a busy side road① in the old district of Barcelona. The pedestrians② are standing in a semi-circle③ around someone or something in front of the cathedral④. I push my way through⑤ the crowd and find a quartet⑥ of musicians playing a violin suite⑦ of classical music⑧. Thesession⑨ lasts ten minutes. Then one of the musicians picks up⑩ a saucer? on the ground, and asks for money. All contributions? are voluntary?， no one has to pay, but the crowd shrinks??as some people slide away?. But others happily throw in a few coins. They're grateful for this brief interval? of music as they go shopping?.
Below the window of my apartment in Paris, a music man takes a place? made vacant? by an earlier musician. He raises the lid of his barrel organ and turns the handle. Then he sings the songs of old Paris, songs of the people and their love affairs. I remember some of the words even though I have never consciously learnt them. I tap my feet and sing along with him. Down there on the pavement, few passersby stop. Some smile, others walk past with their heads down. Cars pass, gangs of boys form and disappear, someone even puts a coin in the cup on the organ. But the music man ignores them all. He's hot in the sun, so he mops his head with a spotted handkerchief. He just keeps singing and turning the handle.

这是一个温暖的星期六的下午，在巴塞罗那老街区的一条繁忙的小路旁。行人在教堂前围成了半圆，围观着什么人或什么事。我挤着穿过人群，发现一支四重奏乐队正在演奏古典音乐小提琴组曲。演奏持续了10分钟。然后，其中一个音乐人拿起地上的碟子开始收钱。所有的捐献都是自愿的，没有人非给不可。但是，随着一些人悄悄走开，人群一下子缩小了。其余的人则很高兴地投了一些硬币。他们对于购物时能听到这种简短的音乐插曲很开心。
在巴黎，在我公寓的窗下，一位音乐人占据了早先另一位音乐家空出来的地方。他打开手摇风琴的盖子，摇动把手。然后他唱起了关于古老巴黎的歌曲，关于巴黎人民和他们爱情故事的歌曲。我虽然从未刻意去学，但仍然记住了一些歌词。我用脚打着拍子跟随他一起唱。沿街而下却很少有行人驻足。有些人微笑，有些人低头走过。车辆驶过，成群的男孩子聚了又散，有人甚至还往琴上的杯子里投了一枚硬币。但是这位音乐人却对他们全都视而不见。太阳底下，酷热难挡，于是他用有污迹的手帕擦额头。他只是不停地唱着、摇着把手。
In Harlem, New York, some locals place a sound system by an open window. They plug it into the electrical socket， and all of a sudden， there's dancing in the streets. In downtown Tokyo, young couples eat popcorn and dance to the music of a rockabilly band, which plays American music from the Fifties. In the London Underground a student plays classical guitar music, which echoes along the tunnels. It lifts the spirits of the passengers, who hurry past on their way to work. In a street in Vienna or Prague or Milan a group of pipe musicians from the far Andes fill the air with the sounds of South America.
The street musician is keeping alive a culture which has almost disappeared in our busy, organised, and regulated lives： the sound of music when you least expect it. In a recording studio, even when relayed by microphone, music loses some of its liveliness. But street music gives life to everyone who listens and offers relief from the cares of the day. It only exists in the present， it only has meaning in the context. It needs space.

[第3～4段译文]
在纽约的哈莱姆，一些当地人将音响设备放置在打开的窗户旁。他们把音响设备的插头插入插座，刹那间，街上的人们就跳起了舞。在东京的商业区，年轻的夫妇吃着爆米花，随着一支乡村摇滚乐队的音乐跳舞，这支乐队演奏着五十年代的美洲音乐。在伦敦的地铁里，一个学生弹奏着古典吉他乐，乐声在隧道里回响。它使匆忙上班的乘客情绪激昂。在维也纳、布拉格或米兰的街上，来自遥远的安第斯山脉的管弦乐手们则使空中弥漫着南美洲音乐之声。,街头音乐家保持了一种文化的生机，而这种文化在我们紧张忙碌、组织有序和一成不变的生活中已近乎消失：在你最意想不到的时候听到的音乐的声音。在录音棚里，即使被麦克风传播，音乐还是失去了某些活力。但是街头音乐给聆听的每一个人以活力，让他们从一天的焦虑中解脱出来。它只存在于当下，也只有在情景中才有意义。它需要空间。

Drawing upon? more than 1,500 years of Chinese music, Twelve Girls Band mixes this rich tradition with? classical, folk and contemporary sounds. The group signifies? the symbolic choice of a dozen members found in various aspects of Chinese numerology with 12 months in a year， and in ancient mythology， 12 jinchai (golden hairpins， which represent womanhood). Inspiration also comes from yuefang, the female chamber orchestras that played in the royal courts of the Tang Dynasty.
Each member of Twelve Girls Band has classical training, with backgrounds that include the China Academy of Music, the Chinese National Orchestra, and the Central Conservatory of Music. Skilled multi- instrumentalists, they perform on traditional Chinese instruments that include the guzheng, the yangqin, the erhu, the pipa and the dizi and xiao.
The group's appeal is equally as broad， with children, teens, adults and grandparents filling arenas to see it perform. American critics noticed the mixture of pieces by Mozart and Beethoven, with jazz standards like Dave Brubeck's TakeFive, or a version of a much-loved classic such as Simon and Garfunkel's ElCondorPasa.
The group honours its musical heritage and shows a genuine love for all styles of music — from complex classical works to long-lasting pop tunes.

依托中国1 500多年的音乐文化，“女子十二乐坊”将这浓厚的传统与古典、民间和当代音乐融为一体。该组合的成立与命名极具象征意义，“十二”代表了中国八卦中的一年十二个月的各种不同的方面，并且象征了古老的神话中代表女性的“十二金钗”。灵感也源自唐朝皇宫中女子室内管弦乐队的名称——乐坊。
“女子十二乐坊”的每个成员都受过古典音乐的培训，并与中国音乐学院、中国国家交响乐团和中央音乐学院等有着很深的渊源。作为技术娴熟的多种乐器的演奏家，她们可以用包括古筝、扬琴、二胡、琵琶、笛子和箫等多种中国传统乐器进行演奏。
该乐队的吸引力同样也很广泛。儿童、青少年、成年人和老人都来观看她们的表演。美国的评论家注意到其作品融合了莫扎特与贝多芬的音乐，有爵士乐，如戴夫·布鲁贝克的《休息5分钟》，或是深受人们喜爱的经典作品，如西蒙和加芬克尔的《山鹰》。
这支乐队尊崇自己的音乐遗产并表现出对各种音乐风格的真心热爱——从复杂的古典作品到经久不衰的流行乐。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
My six-year-old daughter lay in the hospital bed. “Mommy？” she asked. “Will you stay with me the whole time？”“You know I can't be in the operating room，” I said carefully, not wanting to scare her. “But Daddy and I will be waiting right outside.” Elizabeth nodded (点头), but her eyes looked troubled. It had been too long since I saw that big smile of hers.
I wanted to tell her everything would be okay and promise that this would be the last time she'd have to go through. But what if something went wrong again? She'd been so brave that day of the accident. When she fell off her bike in our backyard, I rushed her to the emergency room, trying not to panic. After she had spent three weeks in a cast (石膏), her leg didn't improve. Now she needed surgery. How could I comfort her when I needed comfort myself?
There was a knock at the door. A nurse? But a woman without a white coat came in. “Hi！” the woman said. “I'm the chaplain (牧师) here, and I've got a present for Elizabeth.” She handed a bright-blue box to my daughter. Elizabeth sat up, opened the gift and started pulling out the items one by one: candies, crayons, and a toy in the shape of a star. She hugged the star, cheering up for the first time after she entered the hospital. “Thank you，” she said. She looked through the box once more. She pulled out a card. “Mommy, look！”“A card，” I said. I held her hand and read aloud: “Keep me in the loving care and bless all those who love me too.”
There was that big smile of hers! I looked at the box closely. The sentence “It's for kids' comfort” with the name of the charitable organization was written across the front. I thanked the chaplain again and again. I thought it was not only for kids' comfort but for moms' too.
语篇解读：作者女儿的腿需要做手术。她的女儿需要安慰，她也需要安慰。一位牧师送给作者的女儿礼物使得女儿一直没有笑容的脸上露出了笑容。作者心里也开朗多了。
1．Lying in the hospital bed Elizabeth ________.
A．was much frightened B．was calm and strong
C．cared about her mom D．was down in spirits
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句可知，但是她的眼神看起来很不安。“我”很久没看见她笑了。由此推知，Elizabeth情绪很低落。
2．Before her daughter was operated on the author ________.
A．really believed in the doctor
B．tried to comfort her daughter
C．was worried about the surgery
D．didn't know what she should do
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，“我”想告诉她一切都会顺利的并且承诺这将是最后一次(治疗)。但是如果再出错怎么办？由此推知，作者担心手术。
3．What can we learn from this passage?
A．The first treatment of Elizabeth was a failure.
B．Smiles on Elizabeth's face disappeared half a month.
C．Elizabeth got injured during a serious car accident.
D．The author took the chaplain for a nurse at first sight.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数二、三句可知，打了3周的石膏后，她的腿没有任何起色。现在她需要手术。由此可知，Elizabeth的第一次治疗失败了。
4．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The author thanks the doctors for their work.
B．The author is grateful for those kind people.
C．The author praises her daughter for her courage.
D．The author had no confidence in the doctor.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
One kind of the worst agricultural pests in the United States is about to get a whole lot worse. According to the new research, the effects of climate change have caused harmful insects known as potato leafhoppers (蚕虫微叶蝉) to arrive a full 10 days earlier than they did 60 years ago. Not only that, but also the research shows that bug infestation (侵扰) levels are worse in warmer years, meaning they will cause a much greater threat than they have for decades.
In turn, the warmer weather may push the insects to travel farther north than they typically care to, meaning potato leafhoppers could soon move into regions where they now aren’t causing much threat.
Potato leafhoppers migrate yearly from Southern states all the way into the northernmost US states and Canada. The_bugs_cause_millions_of_dollars’_worth_of_damage_to_agricultural crops_every_year, cutting into_farmers’ potato,_alfalfa,_and_hops_profits.
They can feed on the sap (树液) of more than 100 plant species, but they don’t kill plants immediately. Their toxin (毒素) causes plants to dry, lowering crop yields. Because of the bug’s size, farmers often don’t know when potato leafhoppers have invaded until they see the crop damage.
The danger could harm the industry. Farmers have turned to pesticides and leafhopper-resistant strains of alfalfa to control past infestations, but they may not be prepared if the insects continue to arrive earlier and infestation levels keep increasing.
The researchers weren’t surprised when they found the insects were now arriving 10 days earlier in warmer years. Early migration trends caused by climate change have been observed in mammals, birds, and other species.
语篇解读：随着全球气候变暖，一种害虫的迁徙提前了。
1．The new research shows that the pests arrived earlier mainly because ________.
A．they couldn’t find food where they fed
B．the higher temperature allowed them to do so
C．larger numbers of them caused more competition
D．they had adapted to poor environmental conditions
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段的“the effects of climate change ...days earlier”可知，是因为更高的气温给了它们这么做的条件。
2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the pests?
A．They now aren’t causing much of a threat.
B．They have been moving north all these years.
C．They can get used to new environment easily.
D．They may do harm to wider regions than before.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第二段的“could soon move into regions where they now aren’t causing much of a threat”可知，本段主要是讲它们危害的范围会增加。
3．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 shows the pests ________.
A．mainly feed on potato plants
B．don’t cause losses every year
C．are costly for farmers to remove
D．are really a big problem for farmers
解析：选D 句意理解题。根据画线句子的内容可知，此句主要是讲这种害虫每年给农场主带来了巨大的经济损失，故选D项。
4．Which can be inferred about the pests from Paragraph 4?
A．They just feed on several plants.
B．They are very hard to be seen by farmers.
C．They can cause plants to die immediately.
D．They often hide in plants to avoid being noticed.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Because of the bug’s size ...the crop damage.”可知，这种害虫很难被发现。

Dear Lucy，
Thanks for your letter. You asked me something about the music in my life. Let me tell you briefly.
Music is an important part in my life. I even can’t live without music. Actually, I like many kinds of music. Well, my favourite music is American Country Music, such as “Country Road”. It mixes some modern melodies; it sounds very nice and pure and can bring me into dreamland. Whenever I am in trouble, I will turn on the MP5 or the tape recorder and the soft melody will make me relaxed.
I’m not interested in rock music. I think it is too loud and very difficult for me to understand! The melody is not soft and nice at all! I can’t stand the strong beat, which nearly makes me faint!
In a word, music has a very important place in my life.
How about you? Write to tell me about music in your life. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
Module 4 Music
No music, no life! Music can help us relax, give life to those who are depressed and offer relief from a day's hard work. Most people like appreciating music or dancing to the music. Today we'll introduce a band and a pipa and guzheng soloist.
The band is named Twelve Girls Band, founded in June 2001. At first it wasn't famous, but all of a suddenit became popular in Japan. Now the band has become one of the most popular groups at home and abroad. The members of Twelve Girls Band come from such famous colleges and universities as China Academy of Music and Central Conservatory of Music.Drawing upon over 1,500 years of Chinese music, the band charms the world. They have been presented with awards many times. Their records have become its fans' collections. The band honours its music heritage and shows a genuine love for all styles of music.
The soloist is Liu Fang, an international music star.In addition to pipa, she also plays guzheng. She is good at playing folk songs. Meanwhile, she combines Chinese traditional music with western music. Liu Fang had a great gift for music as a child, therefore her mother sent her to play pipa. She has given concerts since 11. While playing pipa, the biggest challenge is to respect traditions and add her own style. The same is true of guzheng. Now, Liu Fang lives in Canada, where she oftenmakes contacts with master musicians, sharing feelings and ideas with them. She's also voluntary to give some bands directions.Regarding her ambition she wants to compose music and introduce Chinese classical music to every corner of the world.
没有音乐就没有生命。音乐可以帮助我们放松，给那些沮丧的人活力，还可以缓解一天的劳累。大多数人喜欢欣赏音乐或伴着音乐跳舞。今天我们要介绍一个乐队以及一位琵琶和古筝独奏者。
乐队是成立于2001年6月的“女子十二乐坊”。起初它并不出名，但是突然在日本变得大受欢迎。现在这个乐队已经成为国内外最受欢迎的乐队之一。“女子十二乐坊”乐队的成员来自一些非常著名的大学，如中国音乐学院以及中央音乐学院等。凭借中国1 500多年的音乐文化，这个乐队吸引了整个世界。她们已多次被授予奖项。她们的唱片也成为粉丝们的收藏品。乐队尊重自己的音乐遗产，并显示出对各种音乐风格的真心热爱。
独奏者是刘芳，一位国际音乐明星。除了琵琶外，她也演奏古筝。她擅长演奏中国民歌。同时她将中国传统音乐与西方音乐相结合。刘芳在很小时就有很好的音乐天赋，因此她的妈妈送她去学琵琶。11岁起她就开始举办音乐会。在弹奏琵琶时，最大的挑战是要尊重传统的并加上自己的风格。弹古筝也是这样。现在，刘芳住在加拿大，在那里她经常与音乐大师来往，与他们一起分享感受和想法。她也自愿为一些乐队提供指导。关于她的志向，她想创作乐曲，把中国的古典音乐传播到世界的每一个角落。
课件5张PPT。课时跟踪练(一) Introduction & Reading — Pre reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A couple of years ago, music psychologist Elizabeth Margulis decided to make some changes to the music of Luciano Berio. Berio was one of the most famous classical composers of the 20th century. After loading his most famous piece into a computer editing program, she just randomly started cutting.
The idea behind this act was simple: Margulis wanted to see if she could make people like Berio’s music more by making it more repetitive.
Margulis knew that 90 percent of the music we listen to is music we’ve heard before. We return again and again to our favorite songs, listening over and over to the same musical riffs (重复乐段), which themselves repeat over and over inside the music, and she’d become obsessed with understanding why repetition is so compelling (引人入胜的). This is why she was razoring (剃) the music of Berio — because his music isn’t at all repetitive.
We are drawn to repetition. It surrounds us, not just in modern American pop music, Margulis says, but everywhere. “Musical repetitiveness isn’t really an individual feature of music that’s arisen over the past few hundred years in the West，” she says. “It seems to be a cultural universal. Not only does every known human culture make music, but also, every known human culture makes music in which repetition is a defining (典型的) element.”
Why? One part of the answer is what’s known as the mere exposure effect.
Psychologists have found that people tend to start off wary (谨慎的) of — or even unfriendly to — new things, which makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. But then the act of mere exposure changes our feelings. We typically feel more warmly toward things we encounter again and again.
So mere exposure is one of the reasons we respond so well to repetition — both of music and in music — but Margulis clearly doesn’t think it’s the whole story. She says repetition also allows us to shift (转移) our attention around, from the surface aspects of the music to other aspects. So basically, part of what the repetition in music allows us to do is leave ourselves. In some small way, it allows us to shift and adjust our reality. And reality can often use some adjusting.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。主要介绍了为什么我们在听音乐的时候，会发现音乐总是重复及重复的作用等。
1．Why did Margulis change Berio’s music?
A．To find the role of repetition.
B．To show her talent in music.
C．To make his music more famous.
D．To test a computer editing program.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段的“if she could make people like Berio’s music more by making it more repetitive”和第三段的“she’d become obsessed with understanding why repetition is so compelling”可知，她这样做的原因就是想了解音乐重复的作用。
2．If we hear new music again and again, we ________.
A．can’t deal with its sound better
B．tend to be cautious of it very much
C．may expect something from it consciously
D．won’t know when we have heard it
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“But then the ...again and again.”可知，如果我们反复听新的音乐，我们或许会有意识地从中期望一些东西。
3．From the last paragraph, we can infer the repetition makes us ________.
A．experience the content of the songs
B．respond to the whole music better
C．remember the words of songs clearly
D．shift our experience of reality around us
解析：选D 细节理解题。结合最后一段的“She says repetition ...adjust our reality.”可知，音乐中的重复会使我们从事情的表面看到其他的方面，以及暂时的逃离现实等。
4．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．To play music again and again
B．To be exposed to music fully
C．To enjoy the beauty of music
D．To find the secret to musical effects
解析：选A 标题归纳题。本文主要解释了为什么音乐中会有不断地重复，以及这种音乐的重复起着什么作用等情况，因此A项符合主题。
B
Marc Yu, a nine-year-old boy from California, has achieved more than most musicians do in their whole life. He has learned two musical instruments, played the piano at the most famous US concerts and won a couple of musical scholarship.
Marc was an unusual child even as a baby. At just six months of age, he would sit through a two-hour classical music concert. By the time he was two, he started to read and sing Beethoven symphonies (交响曲). While his mother thought this was unusual, she did not realize his musical gifts until he was at a friend’s party and started to play a nursery rhyme on the piano.
With lessons from his mom and then a professional teacher, Marc’s skills improved a lot. By the time he was five, he had learned another musical instrument — the cello(大提琴). When he was just six and a half, he picked up a famous prize — the Davidson Fellowship in Music, which is usually given to musicians 18 or older.
After making his orchestra debut (初次演出) at the age of six, there has been no looking back for this musical genius. He is always traveling, either to perform at concerts or for piano lessons.
On August 31st, Marc will perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, one of the world’s most famous concert halls. He will be playing the piano alongside Lang Lang, a classical pianist, who has performed at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Games.
While Marc, who is home-schooled, likes his music very much and practices 5－6 hours a day, he is by no means a bookworm (书呆子). He loves to play soccer with his friends and has a great sense of humor.
语篇解读：本文是记叙文。文章介绍了一位九岁的音乐天才。
5．Which of the following is the CORRECT order to describe Marc’s music career according to the text?
a．He began to learn the cello.
b．He made his orchestra debut.
c．He won the Davidson Fellowship in Music.
d．He started to read and sing Beethoven symphonies.
e．He could sit through a two-hour classical music concert.
A．e-a-b-d-c B．e-d-a-b-c
C．b-c-e-d-a D．e-d-a-c-b
解析：选B 事件排序题。根据第二、三、四段中的时间点“six months of age, he was two, he was five, he was just six and a half, at the age of six”可知。
6．After Marc’s first performance, he ________.
A．is popular all over the world
B．has won a musical scholarship
C．starts to learn from Lang Lang
D．often travels to perform or learn piano
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He is always traveling, either to perform at concerts or for piano lessons.”可知。
7．According to the text, Marc ________.
A．is skilled at playing two musical instruments
B．performed well at the Royal Albert Hall
C．now learns music from his mother
D．has a gift for soccer as well
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He has learned two musical instruments”可知，他擅长两种乐器。
C
The playing field is never even (不相上下的) or equal. Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome. Knowing what you can do to have an advantage can be the difference in success or failure.
My kids tell me it’s unfair to play with the big children; I tell them that’s right. Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It is true that many things in the world are unfair. But unfair things usually can be a boon for you. For example, the early bird catches the worm. It is unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast but it is nice to know that if he gets up early he is sure to get the worm.
I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair the thing is will get them nowhere. Instead, make use of it and get on the other side of it. Once you do that you are at an advantage. Above all, you have to focus on gaining the unfair advantage and you have to build your inner strength. When you empower yourself (武装自己), you are gaining skills or abilities, confidence and self esteem (自尊). You should look at your place in the world. Where do you want to be financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically? You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.
You can build all the advantages that you need to live the life that you want. If you haven’t yet, you need to make a list of all the things you want to experience in your new life. This will help you focus on building the advantage so that you never have to say that it’s Not Fair. When you do this then you will be able to realize that Not Fair is a good thing and you will want to teach those around you to see Not Fair in this way too.
语篇解读：作者的孩子抱怨球场上存在不公平，事实上，世界上不公平的事情很多。我们不必抱怨不公平，因为抱怨无用。正确的态度是利用不公平，找到自己的优势，转到不公平的另一面，当自己强大了就不会认为事情不公平。
8．The author uses the example of the playing field to ________.
A．support his opinion
B．introduce his topic
C．tell us that having an advantage is needed
D．show that skills and attitudes are important in playing games
解析：选B 推理判断题。作者在本文的观点是不公平是件好事，他用球场上的不公平引出他的话题，因此选B。
9．What does the underlined word “boon” in Para.2 probably mean?
A．Something that is very terrible.
B．Something that is very kind.
C．Something that is very helpful.
D．Something that is very scared.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Unfairness is a good ...in the world are unfair.”可知，不公平是一件好事。当事情看起来不公平时，通过努力将会获得更多。事实上世界上的许多事情都是不公平的。由此可知，不公平的事情通常会使你受益。
10．You are told to look at your place in the world in order to ________.
A．be proud of yourself
B．make yourself well known
C．have more confidence
D．find out what you lack
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第三段最后三句话可知，你应该看清自己的位置。在经济、精神、情感和身体上，你想要到什么地步？由此推知，作者在此处告诉你要了解自己，即明白自己还有哪些不足之处，目的是为了进一步提高自己。
11．What does the author mainly tell readers in the article?
A．How to live a happy new life.
B．Being calm when treated badly.
C．The right attitude to the unfair.
D．Being patient enough to succeed.
解析：选C 主旨大意题。通读全文后可知，作者认为不公平并不是件坏事。根据全文最后一句可知，当你这样做的时候，你将会意识到不公平是件好事，而且你也想要你周围的人用这样的方式看待不公平。由此推知，作者在本文主要是告诉读者用正确的态度对待不公平。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
My six-year-old daughter lay in the hospital bed. “Mommy？” she asked. “Will you stay with me the whole time？”“You know I can’t be in the operating room，” I said carefully, not wanting to scare her. “But Daddy and I will be waiting right outside.” Elizabeth nodded (点头), but her eyes looked troubled. It had been too long since I saw that big smile of hers.
I wanted to tell her everything would be okay and promise that this would be the last time she’d have to go through. But what if something went wrong again? She’d been so brave that day of the accident. When she fell off her bike in our backyard, I rushed her to the emergency room, trying not to panic. After she had spent three weeks in a cast (石膏), her leg didn’t improve. Now she needed surgery. How could I comfort her when I needed comfort myself?
There was a knock at the door. A nurse? But a woman without a white coat came in. “Hi！” the woman said. “I’m the chaplain (牧师) here, and I’ve got a present for Elizabeth.” She handed a bright-blue box to my daughter. Elizabeth sat up, opened the gift and started pulling out the items one by one: candies, crayons, and a toy in the shape of a star. She hugged the star, cheering up for the first time after she entered the hospital. “Thank you，” she said. She looked through the box once more. She pulled out a card. “Mommy, look！”“A card，” I said. I held her hand and read aloud: “Keep me in the loving care and bless all those who love me too.”
There was that big smile of hers! I looked at the box closely. The sentence “It’s for kids’ comfort” with the name of the charitable organization was written across the front. I thanked the chaplain again and again. I thought it was not only for kids’ comfort but for moms’ too.
语篇解读：作者女儿的腿需要做手术。她的女儿需要安慰，她也需要安慰。一位牧师送给作者的女儿礼物使得女儿一直没有笑容的脸上露出了笑容。作者心里也开朗多了。
1．Lying in the hospital bed Elizabeth ________.
A．was much frightened B．was calm and strong

B．The author is grateful for those kind people.

July 2 is my grandfather’s birthday. In that day, all of my family will get together to celebrate it. This year was same. My uncles and aunts came back from other cities.
