音乐，是人们生活中不可缺少的一部分。什么是音乐？你喜欢什么样的音乐？
What is music?
Suppose you hit a wooden table with your hand.It makes a sound.Now suppose you hit a ball.It makes a sound.The second sound is called a tone.A tone is a single musical sound.Music is the art of organizing tones into meaningful patterns of sound.We might call it the language of tones.Sometimes the language of music speaks to us in tones sounding after one another in melody.Or the tones could be sounding together in harmony.
When tones hit with one another，it is not in harmony.But this hit is often full of meaning.What we call melody is given meaning by its rising or falling or moving straight ahead.It is also given meaning by its rhythm of beats and phrasing，its speed and how loud or soft it is at any moment.All of this sounds very technical.But it doesn't have to be understood or thought about for us to enjoy music.What music means to us often can not be put into words.We can feel that the music expresses joy or sorrow，pleasure，tenderness，love，anger—all kinds of things and feelings that words alone could never do.
Music can also be enjoyed just for its beauty，and not for what it is saying.We can get pleasure from even a single tone of voice，violin，horn，or some other instruments.We may love a beautiful melody for many years of our lives and always enjoy hearing it.
There are，of course，many forms of music，from the anthem to the symphony，and many types of music，from folk music to opera.

Turandot in Beijing
by Jane Jones
Last night，I witnessed the first of only eight performances of Giacomo Puccini's world-famous opera，Turandot，being performed①in the Forbidden City in Beijing，China.The performance was splendid.Some of the world's greatest opera singers were cast(选派角色) in this production，and many great Chinese musicians also participated. Puccini，an Italian，wrote Turandot towards the end of his life，between 1920 and 1924.He liked East Asia very much and also wrote Madam Butterfly(蝴蝶)，which is set in Japan②.
《图兰朵》在北京
简·琼斯
昨天晚上，我目睹了贾科莫·普契尼闻名世界的歌剧《图兰朵》在中国北京紫禁城的首场演出，该歌剧在这里只演八场。演出异彩纷呈。几位世界级歌剧演唱家在演出中担任主演，而且许多杰出的中国音乐家也参与进来。普契尼是意大利人，1920年至1924年期间，在他的生命快要走向终点之际，创作了《图兰朵》。普契尼非常喜欢东亚，还创作了以日本为背景的《蝴蝶夫人》。
[助读讲解] ①现在分词的被动式作定语，表示现阶段正在进行的动作。②which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Madam Butterfly。
Just imagine performing such an opera in the Forbidden City—there could not be a more awesome③ setting！You could almost feel the history.The weather was also perfect for a performance outdoors.Instead of a stage curtain，there were decorated screens covered with red and gold④，and traditional Chinese drums were used to announce the start of the opera.
想象一下在紫禁城上演这样一出歌剧吧——再也不可能有比这更令人叹为观止的场景了！你几乎可以感受到历史。天气对于户外演出来说也是绝佳的。覆盖着红色和金色的经过装饰的屏风代替了舞台帷幕，传统的中国鼓被用来宣告歌剧的开场。
[助读讲解] ③not...a more...否定词与比较级连用，表达最高级意义。④过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰screens。
Turandot is the story of a stubborn(固执的) and cruel Chinese princess(公主)，named Turandot⑤，who lives in the Forbidden City in Beijing⑥.In the story，the emperor of China，Turandot's father，has promised to allow her to choose her own husband.In order to avoid marriage，she says that any potential husband must solve three riddles if he wants to marry her⑦.Those who cannot answer all three riddles，however，will be condemned to(被宣告) death.This means that few men would dare(敢于) to ask for her hand in marriage.The story begins when a prince(王子) is killed for failing to solve her riddles.The emperor finds the death disturbing(令人不安的)．However，although he would like to，he cannot break his promise and must allow Turandot to do as she wishes⑧.
《图兰朵》讲述的是一位顽固、冷酷的中国公主图兰朵的故事，她住在北京紫禁城里。故事中，中国的皇帝，即图兰朵的父亲，允诺女儿由她自己选择丈夫。为了逃避婚姻，她说任何想成为她丈夫的人要娶她必须猜中三道谜语。但是猜不出全部三道谜语的人将被处以死刑。这意味着几乎没人胆敢向她求婚。故事开始时，一位王子因为猜不中图兰朵的谜语被处死。皇上对这种杀戮焦虑不安。但是，虽然他很想收回这一允诺，但又不能食言，只能让图兰朵按照自己的意愿行事。
[助读讲解] ⑤过去分词短语作定语，修饰princess。⑥who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词princess。⑦that引导宾语从句，if引导条件状语从句。⑧although引导让步状语从句，as引导方式状语从句。
Shortly afterwards，another prince，Calaf，falls in love(相爱) with Turandot at first sight(初次见面；乍一看) and decides to solve the riddles so that he can marry her⑨.Meanwhile，Liu，a young slave of Calaf's father，expresses her love for Calaf.The story then takes on a classic love triangle between Calaf，Turandot and Liu.
Calaf goes to Turandot and—without introducing himself or telling her his name—answers the three questions.
之后不久，另一位王子卡拉夫对图兰朵一见钟情，决心要解开谜底，以便能迎娶图兰朵。这时，卡拉夫父亲的一个年轻奴隶柳儿倾诉了她对卡拉夫的爱。故事随后演绎了发生在卡拉夫、图兰朵和柳儿之间的经典三角恋情。
卡拉夫来到图兰朵面前，回答出她的三个问题。他没有自我介绍，也没有告诉图兰朵自己的名字。
Turandot becomes very angry at this turn of events，as she is unwilling to get married⑩.Seeing this，Calaf says that if she can guess his name by sunrise，she will not have to marry him，but can have him killed?.Calaf's father and Liu have been seen accompanying Calaf，so Turandot seizes (夺取，攻占)Calaf's father and Liu，and demands that they tell her Calaf's name or they will be beaten?.Wanting to protect the father?，Liu claims that she alone knows the name，but resists telling Turandot.Then Liu grabs(夺取) a sword from a guard and kills herself.
对于事情的这一转折图兰朵非常恼火，因为她不愿意结婚。见此，卡拉夫说如果她能在太阳升起之前猜出他的名字，她不仅可以不嫁给他，还可以杀了他。有人曾看见卡拉夫的父亲和柳儿陪着卡拉夫，因此图兰朵把卡拉夫的父亲和柳儿抓了起来，命令他们说出卡拉夫的名字，否则就要拷打他们。想要保护卡拉夫的父亲，柳儿宣称只有她知道卡拉夫的名字，但她拒绝告诉图兰朵。然后柳儿从一名卫兵的手中夺过一把剑自刎。
[助读讲解] ⑩as引导原因状语从句。?Seeing this为现在分词短语作状语，表示时间；that引导宾语从句，其中if she can guess his name by sunrise为条件状语从句。?demand后跟that引导的宾语从句，从句要用虚拟语气，即谓语用“should＋动词原形”的形式，should可以省略。?现在分词短语作原因状语，句子的主语和want 之间是主动关系。
When it becomes evident what happened?，Calaf scolds(责骂) Turandot for not being more merciful(仁慈的)．However，though he is angry，he still loves her.Calaf kisses Turandot.Turandot's heart grows softer，but is still quite hard.She demands that he leave.Instead，he tells her his name—just before the dawn(黎明) deadline(最后期限)—and says that she can kill him if she wishes?.At the end of the story，the prince and princess unite(联合) in marriage，and the whole city celebrates their happiness.
当真相大白后，卡拉夫斥责图兰朵毫无慈悲之心。然而，尽管卡拉夫非常愤怒，他依然爱着图兰朵。卡拉夫亲吻了图兰朵。图兰朵的心变得软些了，但仍然相当冷酷。她强令卡拉夫离开。但是，卡拉夫告诉了图兰朵他的名字——就在黎明的期限来临之前——还说如果图兰朵愿意，她可以杀死他。在故事的结尾处，王子和公主喜结良缘，整座城市欢庆他们的幸福。
[助读讲解] ?when引导时间状语从句，其中it为形式主语，真正的主语为后面的what happened。?that引导宾语从句，if she wishes为条件状语从句。
Unfortunately，Puccini died of a heart attack before ?，and it had to be completed by one of his former students，Franco Alfano.An opera company staged the opera in Beijing in the 1990s，but the performance I saw? was the first time Turandot was staged inside the Forbidden City.The production combined the very best of Western and Chinese talents.The music was conducted by Zubin Mehta，a superb conductor，who was born in India?.The opera was directed by Zhang Yimou，a well-known Chinese director.In the Beijing performance I saw，Turandot was played by Sharon Sweet from the USA，Liu was played by another opera singer from the USA，Barbara Hendricks，and Calaf was sung by Kristjan Johannsson from Iceland. They were all excellent.
不幸的是，普契尼还没有完成这最后一幕就因心脏病突发去世了，这一幕只好由他以前的一名学生佛朗哥·阿尔法诺来完成。在20世纪90年代，一家歌剧公司将这出歌剧搬上了北京的舞台，但我观看的这场演出是《图兰朵》第一次在紫禁城里上演。这次演出结合了中西方最优秀的人才。乐队由生于印度的杰出指挥家祖宾·梅塔指挥。歌剧由中国著名导演张艺谋执导。我观看的这场在北京的演出中，图兰朵由美国的莎伦·斯威特扮演，柳儿由美国另一名歌剧演唱家芭芭拉·亨德里克斯扮演，卡拉夫则是由来自冰岛的克里斯蒂安·约翰松扮演。他们都很出色。
[助读讲解] ?before引导时间状语从句。?I saw为省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词performance。?a superb conductor为Zubin Mehta的同位语；who was born in India为非限制性定语从句。
The Forbidden City was once only accessible to? the emperor，his family and senior officials.However，in this wonderful production，it has been transformed into? the spot for a beautiful and sad love story.The bringing together of this group of people from many countries，the music，and the grand(宏大的) setting are clearly the key components of this amazing production.
紫禁城曾经只允许皇帝、皇室人员和高级官员进入，但是，在这次精彩的演出中，它变成了一个美丽而令人心碎的爱情故事的发生地。来自许多国家的这群人的联袂演出、音乐以及恢宏的场景显然是这场令人惊叹的演出的重要因素。
[助读讲解] ?be accessible to 可利用的；可到达的；对……易接近的 ?transform...into...把……变成……

语 境 自 主 领 悟
先观察原句

If he says he'll come，he will (come).
2....but the performance (that) I saw was the first time Turandot was staged inside the Forbidden City.

6.He told me (that) he had two sons and that they both had gone to college.
The boy said (that) you were too young to understand the matter and that he was asked not to tell you.
后自主感悟
1.第1组例句属于承前省略。
2.第2组例句为关系代词的省略。当关系代词在限制性定语从句中作宾语时，可以省略。
3.第3组为不定式的省略。有时可用不定式符号“to”来替代上文中出现的不定式。
4.第4组例句为状语从句的省略。当状语从句的主语和主句的主语指的是同一人或物，且由人称代词的主格担当，而从句谓语中含有be动词时，可以把从句的主语和be动词一起省略。
5.第5组例句为状语从句的省略。当状语从句的主语为it，谓语为is/was时，可以将it is/was省略。
6.第6组体现的是当及物动词之后跟两个或两个以上的由连词that连接的宾语从句时，只可省略第一个连词that的情况。
在英语中，有时为了避免结构上或内容上的重复，并使上下文紧密连接；有时因为语法的客观要求，句子中的一个或几个成分不需要表达出来，这种现象称为省略。
一、简单句中的省略
1．祈使句中的省略
(You) Come early tomorrow.
(I) Thank you for your help.
(You) Open the door，please.

How wonderful an idea (it is)!
4．某些名词的省略
名词所有格修饰的名词若表示店铺、住宅、教堂或上下文已暗示或明确指出过的事物时经常被省略。

[即时演练1] 写出下列句子的省略部分
①(Are there) Any questions?
②What a hot day (it is)!

2．有时并列句中的省略部分出现在前面的分句中，看完最后一个分句才能掌握全句的完整意义。

I know (that) she is a teacher and that she is an excellent writer.
我知道她是一个老师，也是一个优秀的作家。
2．状语从句中的省略
在一些状语从句中，如果谓语动词含有be，从句的主语又和主句的主语一致，或者从句的主语是it，常常可以把从句中的主语和be一起省略掉。这种省略现象通常出现在以when，while，as，until，once，whether，if，unless，though，even if，where等连词连接的时间、条件、让步、地点等状语从句中。
He fell in love with the girl while (he was) on a visit to New York.

若引导限制性定语从句的关系代词在从句中作宾语，该关系代词一般可省略。

他父亲送给他的作为生日礼物的那辆汽车被盗了。
[即时演练4] 句型转换
I bought two books in the bookstore and they are very interesting.
→The two books I bought in the bookstore are very interesting.
四、不定式的省略
1．并列的不定式可以省略后面的不定式符号to。但若两个不定式之间表示对比关系时，不能省略to。

这本书是供人阅读的而不是供人撕毁的。
The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier，not to make it more difficult.
新技术的目的是要让生活更轻松自在，而不是让生活更困难。
2．某些使役动词，如make，let，have等和感官动词，如see，watch，notice，observe等后面作宾补的不定式须省略to，但若这些动词用于被动语态，则to不能省略。
My mother wouldn't let me go to see the film.
我妈妈不会让我去看那部电影的。
He was noticed to leave the office.
有人注意到他离开了办公室。
3．不定式to后面的内容也可承前省略。但倘若承前省略的不定式含有作助动词用的have，be的任何形式，to后要保留原形have和be。
After he came back from the war，he was a mere shadow of the man he used to be.
从战场返回后，他就衰弱得不成样子了。
—Have you told Ann about her failure in the test?
—Yes，but I oughtn't to have (told her about it)．
——你告诉安关于她考试不及格的事情了吗？

人物介绍分为自我介绍和他人介绍。本单元是写他人介绍。写好人物介绍应做到以下几点：
一、把握准题材、人称及时态
1．题材：人物介绍(说明文)
人物介绍就是通过描写人物的外貌并介绍人物的姓名、年龄、经历、特长、爱好等来表现人物特征的一种文体。描写要根据文章的要求和要表达的主题，灵活掌握，分清主次，突出重点。
2．人称：一般以第一、三人称为主。
3．时态：根据文章的具体要求而定。
一般描写人物的生平简介用一般过去时；自己对人物的评价用一般现在时。
二、恰当安排文章结构和表达顺序
1．一般性结构
(1)首段对人物进行简单的介绍；
(2)中段介绍自己对该人物的态度。
(3)末段是自己的启示。
2．表达顺序
英文人物介绍一般要求能用简洁明了的英语把要介绍的情况按照逻辑顺序一一讲明，最常采用的是时间顺序和空间顺序，有时也会采用倒叙或者插叙的方法进行。
三、使用准确、恰当、丰富多彩的语言表达形式
1．介绍人物生平事迹的文章要注意句式丰富多变，整合与把握不同类型的句子，尽量避免简单罗列。我们可以在简单句的基础上用非谓语动词等形式进行整合扩充。
2．有时为了句式连贯合理，我们也可以把一些简单句通过加连接词的方式进行整合。
3．为了使句式丰富多变，不给人枯燥乏味的感觉，我们还可以多使用一些含有各种从句的复合句。
1．Sb.is considered to be one of the greatest...
2．Well known as...，he...
3．Born in a poor family，he had to...
4．When he was a small boy，he showed a great interest in...
5．Thanks to the help of...，he was able to continue his education.
6．Between...and...，he studied at...

[高考题型练习提能力]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Listening to music can help me focus better.Since I discovered it two years ago，I've used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively.I've found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity.
I first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games.It was a few days before Christmas in 2008 and I was playing online video games.My parents had just given me a new MP3，so I decided to listen to music through the headphones while I played.After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play.I was playing more naturally.The music relaxed me，and，to a certain extent，distracted me from the game，allowing my subconscious (潜意识的) talent to come through.The music also helped me block out the outside world.With those headphones on I was like a machine，moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions.
Music can also have a great effect on mood.If I'm in a bad mood at work，I'll listen to some of Bob Marley's and get down to business.It always takes my mind off what I'm doing and makes me a happier person.The same is true for classic rock.One summer，I did a boring job collecting bottle openers by hand.Without a radio playing classic rock in the background，I would have hated life.
Listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive message helps you forget your work and think happy thoughts.But the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes.Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks.By trial and error you'll finally discover your best choice.I'm always looking for new concentration aids，so I'd love to know what type of music works best for me.

As a parent，you must have a lot of concerns about the various skills you would like your child to acquire.Music is one of them. 1 On the other hand，it is great for a child's overall development if he or she has an interest in art.
2 The concentration helps them with their grades.Their learning and communication skills will be better than others of their own age.They also develop lots of confidence and self-esteem.
Another advantage of your child to learn music becomes apparent only at a later stage. 3 It can be very beneficial and many top musicians have a very early exposure to music and connect this with their later success.
You can start when your child is only a baby，by exposing him or her to a wide range of music at home. 4 And you could sustain your child's interest by having both of you singing together.
Some parents start their children on a musical instrument as early as 3 years of age.This is great if the child is having a good time，especially when a child's brain has a wonderful capacity for mastering new skills.It goes without saying that you should not have to drag your child to lessons.You can be assured that nothing productive will come out of it. 5
If you start your child on music lessons by the age of 5，taking care to encourage him or her and not to push him or her，your child will grow up into an accomplished adult with a well-rounded personality.
A．It can have good effects on your child.
B．This is selecting music as a career.
C．And your child will have a lifelong dislike of music.
D．Otherwise，you'll completely spoil your child's future.
E．You could ensure that there is a song or tune played in the background.
F．The advantages of teaching children to play a musical instrument are many.
G．On the one hand，you can encourage your child's creativity and natural hobby.
【语篇解读】 音乐可以培养人的情操。让孩子从小接触音乐益处颇多，甚至会让其受益终生。
1．G [由空后的“On the other hand”提示可知本空应该是讲“一方面”，所以选G项。]
2．F [第二段主要讲某事的好处，所以选项F能概括本段主旨。]
3．B [由下文中的“many top musicians have a very early exposure to music and connect this with their later success”可知此处应该是讲兴趣培养与职业选择的关系。]
4．E [由下文中的“having both of you singing together”可以推断“在有音乐背景的环境下”，所以此处选E。]
5．C [由前文“should not have to”及“nothing productive will come out of it”可知本空应该是讲相对消极的作用，C项符合语境。]

When Johnny Cash sings，people listen.His big，deep voice rumbles out of radios and juke-boxes across North America.His records sell by the million.Country music fans everywhere know his big hits.They love songs like Hey Porter，Ring of Fire，and Folsom Prison Blue.
Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year.People like what they hear—and what they see，too.Rugged and big-shouldered，the singer stands six-two without his black boots on.He's a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent.And that scar (疤痕) on his cheek? It's a bullet (子弹) hole，of course!
In the minds of most people，Johnny Cash is “Mr.Tough (violent) Guy”．He's an ex-drug addict (上瘾者) who was once put into prison.His grandmother was an Indian.To keep from starving，he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife.Some people say he even killed a man.
In fact，most of the Johnny Cash story is just that—a story.True，years ago he had a “drug habit” for a short time.He “popped” pills.But he never used heroin or other “hard” drugs.Sometimes he'd go wild and get locked up for a few hours.But he never served a prison sentence.There's no Indian blood in his veins.He's been a killer only in song.As for the “bullet hole”，it's an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst (囊肿)．
People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a “gentle guy”，a “generous guy”—anything but a “tough guy”．How did the stories get started? Some of them，like the story about the “Indian grandmother”，he made up long ago to add excitement to his career.Others，like the “bullet hole”，simply got started.Now there's little the singer can do to change people's minds.“They just want to believe it，” he says.

Ask many actors and they will tell you it is hard to get work when you are just starting out and as you get older.However，it has not been the case for American musical(音乐剧) actress Susan Watson.
In 1958，at the age of 20，Watson was offered a part in the musical，West Side Story, in London.At that time，she was still a student at New York City's Juilliard School for musicians，dancers and actors.More than 50 years later，she was offered another part.Watson took an important role in a remake of the musical，Follies，at the Kennedy Center in Washington and the Marquis Theatre in New York City.In both cases，the offers came from musical theater legend Stephen Sondheim.He wrote the lyrics for West Side Story and the music and lyrics for Follies.
As a teenager，Watson developed her dancing，singing and acting skills in her hometown of Tulsa，Oklahoma.She traveled to study at New York City's Juilliard School before Sondheim interrupted her studies with the offer of a part in West Side Story.The award-winning musical，based on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet，tells a story of the struggles of immigrants(移民) in New York City.In the following two decades，Watson had starring roles in such well-known musicals as The Fantasticks，Bye Bye Birdie，Carnival，Celebration and No，No，Nanette.
Musicals are an American invention.They tell stories through many art forms: spoken words，songs，acting and dances.“Music adds an important emotional element，making an interesting story even more powerful，” Watson said.
At age 78，Watson now lives in California，but she has not stopped performing.She just released a new album called The Music Never Ends.She is excited that six of the 14 songs on her new album were written by “empowered(获得授权的) women”，including Nancy Ford and Gretchen Cryer.She says her new musical record is selling “very well” partly because people do not have to go to a store to buy it.They can buy it online，like almost any other product.

C．She became an actress by chance.
D．She doesn't have trouble in getting work.
D [推理判断题。根据第一段的“Ask many actors and they will tell you it is hard to get work when you are just starting out and as you get older.”可知，作者的意思是：Susan Watson作为演员并没有在刚入行和年老的情况下找不到工作的困扰。]
6．What did Susan Watson do while studying in New York City's Juilliard School?
A．She received a very important offer.
B．She developed her dancing and singing skills.
C．She asked Stephen Sondheim for an opportunity.
D．She starred in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
A [细节理解题。根据第二段的“In 1958，...dancers and actors.”可知，她在那里读书时得到了一个非常重要的演出机会。]

D．Celebration.
B [细节理解题。根据第二段的“More than 50 years later...a remake of the musical，Follies”以及第三段的“In the following two decades...No，No，Nanette.”可知，Follies是她参演的最新的一部音乐剧。]
