二、阅读理解。
As is true in all cultures，Americans first hear music in the context of family life. Much of that music comes from the records on the family radio or television, and this canned music is especially important in developing children’s musical taste. People often say they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were old enough to have their own records or choose the station on the family radio. There is usually some live music in the family as well.
Many mothers and grandmothers sing lullabies (催眠曲), for example. These can be important since in America, as elsewhere, lullabies not only lull a baby to sleep but promise, praise and teach cultural values. Sometimes lullabies are the only songs in a foreign language that American children with strong ethnic (种族的) backgrounds hear, since people often fall back on old, familiar languages for intimate (亲密的) songs.
Another important family context is the automobile, where families learn songs and sing together on weekends and vacations. This is not as surprising as it appears, for the family car has become one of the basic centers of family experience, and it is one of the important places where the families gather for an extended period of time without outside disturbance. The family used to have to choose between making their own music in the car and being force-fed by the radio，but the invention of automobile cassette recorders and eight-track playback machines allows a family to have more control over what they hear when they drive.
1. The underlined words “‘canned’ music” (in Paragraph 1) refers to ________.
A. the music passed down from older generations
B. recorded music instead of live music
C. modern music young people can enjoy
D. the music children hear in a car
2. The music children first hear is important in________.
A. shaping their likes and dislikes in music B. learning language
C. developing their mind D. knowing about cultural values
3. According to the passage, lullabies are usually sung in ________.
A. American English B. a familiar language
C. an African language D. the parents’ native language
4. The invention of automobile cassette recorders allows a family to ________.
A. spend a longer time on vacation in the car
B. have more choices in the music they hear
C. enjoy music without being disturbed
D. have another place to get together

第一部分 阅读理解
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
We turn on the radio and a program comes to us from a broadcasting station miles and miles away. We know that words and music themselves haven’t traveled all that distance through space, but something certainly is bringing the program from the station. What is this silent carrier?
The answer is radio waves. We can see radio waves or feel them or even hear them. In fact, nobody knows exactly what they are. But we do know that they are made by electricity, and we have learned how to use them.
At the broadcasting station people talk or sing, instruments play, doors slam（砰然声）, and all of these make sound waves. The sound waves reach the microphone（麦克风）, and here they are changed into electricity. Then from a tall tower called the broadcasting aerial（天线）, electricity sends radio waves. The waves travel in every direction，and some of them reach our radio aerial. Now a wonderful thing happens. The radio waves start an electric current（电流）in our aerial like the one that was first made in the broadcasting station. Finally, the loudspeaker in your set changes electricity into sound, and we hear the program.
1. What happens when we turn on the radio?
A. A picture appears. B. Words and music travel to you.
C. You can hear a program. D. A program can be seen.
2. The silent carrier that brings the program to us is ________.
A. aerial B. radio waves C. sound waves D. electric current
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Radio waves can be felt or heard. B. Radio waves travel in all directions.
C. Radio waves are made by electricity. D. All of the above.
4. Which do you think is the best title for this passage?
A. Radio Waves B. Sound Waves
C. How Does Radio Work D. Broadcasting Station
B
Although Beethoven could sit down and make up music easily, his really great compositions did not come easily at all. They cost him a great deal of hard work. We know now he often rewrote and corrected his work because his notebooks are still kept in museums and libraries. He always found it hard to satisfy himself.
When he was 28，the worst difficulty of all came to him. He began to notice a strange humming in his ears. At first he paid little attention，but it grew worse，and at last he consulted doctors. They gave him the worst news any musician can hear：he was gradually going deaf. Beethoven was in despair；he was sure that he was going to die.
He went away to the country，to a place called Heiligenstadt，and from there he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers. In this letter he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made him.“It was impossible for me to ask men to speak louder or shout，for I am deaf，” he wrote.“How could I possibly admit an infirmity in the one sense (hearing) which should have been more perfect in me than in others...? I must live like an exile.” He longed to die，and said to death，“Come when you will，I shall meet you bravely.”
In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music. He wrote his best music, the music we remember him for, after he became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the elegant and stately music that earlier musicians had written for their wealthy listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting, revolutionary music, which reminds us of his troubled and courageous life. 5. In the first paragraph we are told that Beethoven found that writing great music ________.
A. was easy B. was difficult
C. was straightforward D. easily satisfied him
6. Beethoven knew that he was going deaf ________.
A. when he could not hear himself talking B. when he heard a humming noise
C. when the humming noise grew louder D. when the doctor told him
7. After he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers, Beethoven ________.
A. courageously continued to write music B. died bravely
C. wrote more faintly D. regained his hearing
8. Which of these words best describes Beethoven’s music when his hearing began to fail?
A. Stately. B. Forceful. C. Elegant. D. Loud.
C
When you feel tired，how do you relax？Drink coffee，take a bath，do some exercise，or play some music or dance?
For dance music fans and nightclub lovers, the world famous English DJ (disco jockey) Sasha will bring them the world’s finest dance music. He is coming to Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai on November 18—20 as part of his world tour in support of his new CD.
One of the main roles of music has always been going with dancing. However, today’s dance music is very different from that of the past. The history of dance music goes back to the 16th century. In the Renaissance(文艺复兴) and Baroque(巴洛克) periods in Europe，rich people were expected to be able to dance at social events. Each type of dance gave rise to its own form of music.
During the 18th and 19th centuries the most popular dances were the waltz (华尔兹舞) and the polka (波尔卡舞)．In this period，dances were often written for the concert hall. For example，symphonies (交响乐) would have a waltz movement，and piano pieces were sometimes in waltz or polka.
In the 1970s，dance music moved into new places called Discos. The music was faster，had more bass and started to become more electronic. Disco music began to develop in the US and around Europe. By the 1980s the music became much faster and even more electronic.
In the 1990s clubs took over discos. DJs mixed other people’s music. Club dance rhythms (韵律) became a major part of popular music. Club dance music has different forms, including drum and bass (低音乐器)，hip-hop，R & B．It makes use of technology and DJs to play a bigger part in spreading the music.
9. Which of the following does not show the difference between today’s dance music and that of the past?
A. Greater variety of forms. B. More technology is made use of.
C. The music is faster. D. Today’s music is more professional.
10. From the third paragraph, we can see that ________.
A. dancing cannot be separated from music
B. in the 16th century，people still did not have much social life
C. people’s social needs resulted in the birth of different types of dance music
D. the time can tell the difference between today’s dance music and that of the past
11. Which of the following is NOT true about dance music?
A. Dance music dates back to the 16th century.
B. Types of dance decide the changes in dance music.
C. Dance music has gone through different stages.
D. In different periods，dance music is written for different places.
12. According to the passage, a DJ’s job is mainly to ________.
A. choose and play music using technology B. create music for the club
C. put different music forms together D. develop disco music
D
‘Farming’ online
A revolution in attitude toward farming is taking place among teenagers. The new deal is, “You’re OUT if you’re not a farmer！”Only, it’s not real farming that is causing such enthusiasm，but virtual(虚拟的) farming in online games.
An Ting, who goes by the name of “LeBron” in cyber space, was an active online farmer during summer holidays. Each day, the first thing the 17-year-old did after turning on his computer was grow crops and steal vegetables.
He was playing QQ’s “Happy Farm”. In the game, he did all the planting, watering, fertilizing(施肥), spraying(杀虫), harvesting and selling of his virtual vegetables, fruits and flowers. The moments LeBron most enjoyed were when he got to steal produce from his friends’ farms. His hard work raised his online level and so helped him get progressively(逐渐地) larger farms.
“Climbing to higher levels playing ‘Happy Farm’ gave me a taste of success, ”said LeBron. He added，“It helped me kill time during the holidays.”
Now that he is back in school，he rarely has access to the Internet. Is his farm deserted(荒芜的) now that he has logged off(下线) from the game?
“No. My father takes care of my farm when he is free,” said the young “farmer”, who proudly said that he had taught his parents how to play “Happy Farm”.
When she heard that everyone around her was talking about the social networking site “Kaixin 001” about a year ago, 15-year-old Tang Shujun joined up to find out what all the fuss(激动) was about. The biggest attraction of the site turned out to be a farming game which covered stealing vegetables. She quickly became hooked(入迷的).
“The game allows me to interact(交流) with my friends,” said the Shanghai teenager. “When I steal vegetables，I can check their status updates and find out their current moods and moves.”
Tang says that she no longer plays the game with the same fervor(热情) as she did at the beginning. However，some of her friends are continuing to work hard on their farms，even in the new school semester. They log on via(通过) their cellphones or try to make up for their losses at weekends.
“Games are just games. When school starts again，I need to focus on my academic work，”she said.
13. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To encourage the public to farm on the Internet.
B. To teach teenagers how to farm on the Internet.
C. To warn us against being hooked in farming online.
D. To introduce the popularity of farming online among teenagers.
14. From the second paragraph, we know that “LeBron” is ________.
A. the name of a website B. the online name of a farmer
C. the name of a country D. the name of a foreign farmer
15. What did An Ting do with his farm when he was back to school?
A. He deserted his farm. B. He sold his farm.
C. He still played his farm. D. He asked his parents to look after his farm.

第二节 One possible version:
Nowadays, many students like listening to music while they are studying, but many parents insist that listening to music while studying may have a negative effect. I think that the parents’ idea is right. First, students tend to follow the rhythm of the music and sing one or two lines of lyrics, which can distract them from studying. Second, students are always calm when they are studying, but when they listen to music, especially rock music, they become excited, which affects their studies. Therefore, I don’t think that listening to music while studying is a good idea.
