Joey Alexander was born in Bali, Indonesia on June 25th, 2003. He is so talented in jazz that he is considered a jazz prodigy (神童). However, he says he doesn't like being called a prodigy. He just prefers to be thought of as himself or as a jazz musician.
Joey is from Indonesia but lives in New York now. He started playing the piano when he was 6 years old. He says his success isn't from tons of lessons. It's from feeling the music in his heart.
When Joey was 6 years old, his parents brought home a mini keyboard (键盘式电子乐嚣)．And to their surprise, Joey could play the melody（乐曲）of Well, You Needn't (a jazz music written by Thelonious Monk). His parents directly gave him piano lessons. In just a year or so, he could already play difficult jazz pieces. For him, jazz is really great. It gives him freedom at playing. That's why he prefers jazz to modern or classical music.
In December, 2011, Joey was invited to play in front of the well-known jazz musician Herbie Hancock during his visit to Indonesia. Now at the age of 16, Joey has performed and collaborated（合作）with many top jazz musicians in Indonesia and also with some visiting jazz musicians from Europe. He has performed in many jazz festivals like Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival.

读下面关于介绍音乐的文章，然后回答文章后的问题，正确的答案写T，错误的答案写F。
Music is different from songs. Songs express feelings with lyrics, but music with tones. Unlike songs, music tones in themselves have no specific meanings. Different people may get different things from the same musical performance. Though some music works are difficult to understand, people need music in their daily lives because it brings fun to them. Different people like different music. Some love classical music, and others take pleasure in pop music. Most young people like pop music.
Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 1960s. The best-known early kind of pop music was "rock and roll". Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world. It has caused the number of people for "jazz" music to become much smaller than in the 1950s and earlier and it has now begun to become the most popular. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the works of some pop singers such as the Beatles, Bob Dylan and the groups like Pink Floyd and Crosby are excellent. And there is still great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.
( )6. The biggest difference between music and songs is meanings.
( )7. The writer thinks the number of people for jazz in the 1950s and earlier was much greater than it is today.
( )8. Pop music began in the UK.
( )9. Pop music now has become the most popular according to the passage.
( )10. Much pop music is of great artistic value, so it interests young people greatly.

读下面有关音乐的文章，在每个标题下做简短的笔记。
Music is an international language. Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people will buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music. Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music. Music for instruments is called orchestra music (管弦乐) , such as the symphonies of Beethoven.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入横线上的最佳选项。
Giving children music lessons won't just introduce them to a world of rhythm and melody (旋律). 16 .
The study of 74 Chinese children before primary school was led by scientist Robert Desimone from MIT. In the study, the 4 to 5-year-old children were divided into three groups. One group received a 45-minute piano lesson three times a week, while another received extra reading instruction lessons. 17 The lessons lasted for six months. Then the children were tested on their ability to discriminate (辨别) words based on differences in tone (声调) and so on. The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at discriminating between words, when compared with the children who took extra reading lessons. 18 .
The researchers think that the musical education helped these children perform better in language tests, even better than the kids who took extra reading lessons. 19 "That means schools could spend more time and energy on music and there will be improvement in children's studies," Desimone says.
Many schools are probably giving more extra reading to kids instead of the arts education. 20 Perhaps you can have a try.
A. But these two groups did better than the third group.
B. In fact, giving children music lessons is no worse than extra reading.
C. It could also improve their language skills.
D. The third group took no extra lessons.
E. This should make educators pay close attention.

第一节 大意总结（共1题，满分15分）
读下面介绍民间音乐家阿炳的文章，总结阿炳及他的成就，应该尽可能多地用你自己的话。
Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain.
The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I've ever heard. The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music.
The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing's father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by age 17, Abing was known for his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing's life grew worse. He was very poor. Not only that, he developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets. He performed in this way for many years.
Abing's amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity continues to this clay. Today, Abing's Erquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China's national treasures. Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing's own life but also makes people recall their deepest wounds from their own sad or painful experiences.
