Unit 5 Music
你听过美国乡村音乐吗？你知道美国乡村音乐的历史吗？下面是它的一些情况。
AMERICAN COUNTRY MUSIC
During the 1990s，American country music has become more and more popular.Songwriters are no longer writing about the modern values of the USA—money，success or expensive things to buy.Instead they are writing once more about things that are common for everyone：feeling alone in the modern world，the value of having good friends and so on.
In the 1950s，American music was about other things，for example，love—getting or losing a boyfriend or girlfriend.Money was also thought to be important.Then in the 1960s songwriters turned to other subjects.During these years many young students were angry with society，so songs were often full of anger.Political leaders were not well thought of and those songs often made fun of them.
Today country music has returned.It has become big business.It brings in between 200 and 400 million dollars a year.Once the home of American country music was Nashville，Tennessee.Now，however，the music has reached all parts of the States，from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east.Singers do not just come from the States but from all over the world.There are many famous singers from Britain，Canada and Australia.A lot of them appear on television too.
The first country singers sang while playing the guitar.It was easy for them to carry the guitar on their travels.Now，however，a lot of electrical equipment is needed for large theatres.
Country music today remains much the same as before.One subject to which country music often returns is “the good old days”．In “the good old days”，people thought well of each other.People loved life in the open air.
They believed that the best things in life were free：sunshine，laughing，walks in the beauty of the country，friends and music.

THE BAND THAT WASN'T
Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert，at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music①？ Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan? To be honest，a lot of people attach great importance to② becoming rich and famous.But just how do people form a band？
并非乐队的乐队
你曾经想过要成为一个乐队里有名的歌手或音乐家吗？你是否曾梦想过在音乐会上面对成千上万的观众演唱，观众欣赏你的歌唱为你鼓掌？你唱卡拉OK时是否假装自己就像是宋祖英或刘欢一样著名的歌星？说实在的，很多人把名和利看得很重要。那么，人们又是怎样一起组成乐队的呢？
[助读讲解] ①at which 引导非限制性定语从句，可用where替换。②attach importance to重视。
Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music.They may start as a group of high-school students，for whom practising their music in someone's house is the first step to fame(名声；名望)③.Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments(乐器)④.Later they may give performances⑤ in pubs(酒吧) or clubs，for which they are paid in cash(用现金；有现钱)．Of course they hope to make records in a studio(演播室) and sell millions of copies to become millionaires！
许多音乐家聚在一起组成乐队，是因为他们喜欢自己作曲，演奏自己的音乐。他们开始可能是一群中学生，对他们来说，在某个人家里排练音乐是成名的第一步。有时他们可能在街上或地铁里为过路者演奏，这样他们可以为自己或自己要买的乐器多挣一些钱。后来，他们可能在酒吧或者俱乐部里演出，这样他们可以得到现金。 当然，他们希望在录音棚里录音，然后卖掉上百万张唱片，从而成为百万富翁。
[助读讲解] ③for whom引导非限制性定语从句，该从句的主语由动名词短语充当。the first step to fame“成名的第一步”。④so that引导目的状语从句。⑤give performances表演，演出。
However，there was one band that started in a different way.It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show.The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music，most of which was based loosely on the Beatles⑥.The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing.They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians⑦，but they could only find one who was good enough.They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.
然而，也有一个用不同方式组建起来的乐队。这支乐队叫“门基乐队”，它开始时是以电视节目表演的形式出现的。组成乐队的音乐人演奏音乐，还彼此打趣逗笑。这些玩笑和音乐大多都在模仿“甲壳虫”乐队。 电视制作人原计划想寻找四位会唱又会表演的乐手。他们在报纸上登了一则广告，寻求摇滚歌手，但是他们只找到一个满意的。乐队的其他三人只能用演员来代替。
[助读讲解] ⑥be based on 以……为基础；most of which引导定语从句，修饰前面整个句子。⑦looking for...为现在分词短语作伴随状语。
As some of these actors could not sing well enough，they had to rely on(依赖；依靠) other musicians to help them.So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing.Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied⑧ by other groups.They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them.Each week on TV，the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other musicians⑨.However，after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work，the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band.Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music.In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records.The band broke up about 1970，but happily they reunited(重聚) in the mid-1980s.They produced a new record in 1996，with which they celebrated their former time as a real band.
因为这些演员中有些人唱得不是很好，他们不得不依靠队里的其他音乐人帮助。所以在演出的时候他们只是假唱。不管怎样，他们的表演非常幽默以至于其他的乐队也开始模仿。他们如此受欢迎以至于歌迷们为了更加熟悉他们而成立了俱乐部。门基乐队每个星期都要在电视上演唱由别的音乐家创作的歌曲。然而，经过大约一年以后，门基乐队逐渐对自己的工作认真起来，他们开始像一支真正的乐队那样演唱自己创作的歌曲。然后他们录制自己的唱片，并且开始巡回表演他们自己的音乐。在美国，他们甚至比“甲壳虫”乐队还要受欢迎，
出售的录音专辑还要多。“门基乐队”大约在1970年解散，但令人高兴的是，20世纪80年代中期他们再次聚首。在1996年，他们推出了一张新的专辑，以此来庆祝他们真正成为乐队以来的那段时光。
[助读讲解] ⑧copy v．模仿，仿效；(考试时)作弊，剽窃。⑨过去分词短语作定语，修饰songs。

Section Ⅲ Grammar——“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句
语 境 自 主 领 悟
先观察原句 后自主感悟
1.Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert，at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music？2.They may start as a group of high?school students，for whom practising their music in someone's house is the first step to fame.3.Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs，for which they are paid in cash.4.The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music，most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. 1.例句1、3使用了“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词分别是a concert和performances，指物，所以介词后的关系代词用which。2.例句2使用了“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词是high?school students，指人，所以介词后的关系代词用whom。3.例句4使用了“代词＋介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词是music，指物，所以介词后的关系代词用which。
一、基本用法
当关系代词在定语从句中充当介词的宾语时，可以用“介词＋关系代词”引导定语从句。

①The man with whom you shook hands just now is our headmaster.
②He bought many newspapers and magazines on which he spent almost all his money.
二、介词的选择
1．根据先行词与介词的搭配习惯来确定
先行词往往是表示时间、地点、原因、方式等的词，它与介词之间有一定的联系。

你还记得我们在一起工作的那些日子吗？
2．根据定语从句中的谓语动词或形容词确定介词
该动词或形容词常与某些介词构成固定搭配。

双方正在展开辩论的社会问题是很严重的一个问题。
3．根据句子的意思确定介词
有些句子，先行词完全一样，定语从句中谓语动词也不是固定的动词短语。这时，需要根据句子所要表达的意思选用不同的介词。
Water is of great importance，without which people can not live.
水是很重要的，没有它人们就无法生存。
This is the book about which you have talked to me.
这是你曾经给我谈起的那本书。

三、“介词＋关系代词”与关系副词的替换
在定语从句中若先行词为时间名词，地点名词或reason，“介词＋关系代词(which)”可用相关的关系副词when，where，why等替换。

他拒绝邀请的理由还不清楚。

→The police searched the house where the thief had stayed.
③I don't know the reason for which he performed badly.→I don't know the reason why he performed badly.
四、“介词＋关系代词”的特殊用法
1．“the＋名词＋of＋关系代词”引导定语从句
有时可用“whose＋名词”或“of＋关系代词＋the＋名词”替换。
The building，the roof of which we can see from here，is a hotel.＝ The building，whose roof/of which the roof we can see from here，is a hotel.
那幢大楼是一个旅馆，从这儿我们可以看见它的屋顶。
2．“名词/代词等＋介词＋关系代词”结构
有时“介词＋关系代词”前会出现不定代词(all，both，none，neither，many，few，the rest等)、数词(分数、百分数等)及“the＋最高级/比较级”等，用来表示部分、数目等意义。
There are forty students in our class in all，most of whom are from big cities.

His most exciting invitation(邀请) was to perform on a TV programme called “Top of the Pops②.” He had to go to London，wear an expensive suit and give a performance to a TV camera.It felt very strange.But as soon as the programme was over，the telephones which were in the same room started ringing.Everybody was asking when they could see Freddy and his band again.They were truly stars.
青蛙弗雷迪(Ⅱ)
弗雷迪和他的乐队成名后不久，就到英国作短暂的巡回演出去了。歌迷们表现出了极大的忠诚，他们等几个小时来购买音乐会的门票。 弗雷迪现在步入演出厅会感到非常自信。他很喜欢演唱，喜欢演出后的祝贺声！最令他感到激动的是受邀请参加叫作“顶级流行歌手”的电视节目中的那场表演。他得去伦敦，穿着昂贵的服装，对着电视摄像机演唱。那种感觉真是不一般。而节目一结束，这个房间里的电话铃声就开始响起来了。大家都问什么时候可以再次看到弗雷迪和他的乐队。他们真的成了歌星了。
[助读讲解] ①tickets for意为“……的票”，为固定搭配。②called...为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰a TV programme。
Then things went wrong③.Freddy and his band could not go out anywhere without being followed.④Even when they wore sunglasses or beards(胡须) people recognized them.Fans found them even when they went into the toilet.They tried to hide in the reading rooms of libraries，but it was useless.Someone was always there! Their personal life was regularly discussed by people who did not know them but talked as if they were close friends⑤.At last feeling very upset and sensitive(敏感的；易受伤害的)，Freddy and his band realized that they must leave the country before it became too painful(痛苦的) for them.So they left Britain，to which they were never to return，and went back to the lake.
后来情况可就不妙了。 弗雷迪和他的乐队无论走到哪儿都有人跟踪。甚至他们戴着太阳镜留着胡子时，人们也会认出他们来。即使他们上厕所，也会被歌迷发现。他们试图在图书馆的阅览室里躲藏起来，但这些都不管用。总有人在那儿等着！一些不认识他们的人也在不断地讨论他们的私生活，而且就像是他们的密友一样在谈论他们。终于由于深感苦恼，神经高度紧张，弗雷迪和他的乐队意识到他们必须在自己感到太痛苦之前离开这个国家。 因此，他们离开了英国，从此再也没有回去，重新回到湖里去了。
[助读讲解] ③go wrong 变坏，出错。④not...without...是双重否定结构，表示肯定意义，以加强语气。⑤who引导定语从句，定语从句中又包含as if引导的方式状语从句。

Unit 5 Music
【导读】 小说《公正》是英国著名作家蒂姆·维卡里的代表作。阅读下面选取的有关公正的节选，对比中外警察对待目击证人态度的异同。
Justice (excerpt)
“You must believe me！”
When Alan phoned the police，Detective① Hall came to the hospital quickly，bringing an Inspector Lee with him.They listened to Alan's story，then talked for a while outside the door.Then they came back in.
“OK，Mr.Cole，” Inspector Lee said.“Detectives are now searching the house in Bowater Gardens and your daughter's flat.I've informed the police at ports and airports too.It's possible that the kidnappers② will try to take your daughter out of the country，you know.”
“Oh my God.” Alan held his face in his hands.“She's probably dead.I'll never see her again.”
“Let's hope that's not true，” said the Inspector.“Now，let's talk about this woman Anna again.Why do you think she's a terrorist③？”
Again，Alan explained.The visit to the Mews the evening before the bombing；the ten minutes when Anna was not with him；her phone call，telling him not to talk to the police or Jane would die.It was hard to speak clearly because he was so angry and afraid.He began to cry.“It's no good，” he said.“Jane's going to die.”
“Try to keep calm，Mr.Cole，” said the Inspector.“You see，we're not sure that this Anna is a terrorist.We have already arrested the two men who put the bomb in the coach.In fact，one of them confessed④ this morning.The other one will confess soon.”
“But they are the wrong people—they mustn't be！If they are the murderers：Why did Anna phone me? Why is she saying she'll kill my daughter if I don't keep quiet about her？”
“Are you sure it was Anna's voice on the phone？”
“Of course I am！And it was Jane's voice as well！I know my own daughter's voice，don't I？” Alan shouted.
“Mmm，” the Inspector said slowly.“Now，your daughter.Was she unhappy to hear about Anna，do you think? Sometimes daughters don't like their fathers to have girlfriends，you know.Perhaps she was angry with you.”
“No.Not really.Well，perhaps a bit.”
“I see some very strange things in my job，Mr.Cole，and a lot of them are because of family arguments.It's just possible，you see，that your daughter hasn't been kidnapped at all.Perhaps she's angry with you and wants to stop you seeing Anna.Perhaps—I've seen it happen before—she's asked a friend to ring you and pretend to be Anna...”
“No！” Alan shouted.“Jane isn't like that！She was frightened；I could hear it in her voice on the phone.Anna has kidnapped her！You must believe me！”
At that moment another detective came in and spoke quietly to Inspector Lee，who immediately got up and left the room.When he came back，his face was serious.
“The house in Bowater Gardens is empty，” he told Alan.“The two people there left on the morning of the bombing.We didn't find anything useful at your daughter's flat—but we did find her handbag with her flat keys in it.It seems strange for her to go out without her keys，doesn't it？”
“Where is she？” Alan whispered.“Can you find her？”
“If your daughter has been kidnapped，she could be anywhere，” the Inspector said.“Our only hope is that the kidnappers call you again，and then we can find out where the call came from.We're fixing up a phone for you now，and there'll be two policewomen here with you all night.If Anna does phone，keep her talking.Tell her that you have said nothing to the police，and ask to speak to Jane.Say you must hear her voice.”
They put the phone on a table next to Alan's bed.He stared at it，saying to himself over and over again：I must hear her voice.I must hear her voice.
They put Jane in a small bedroom，untied her feet，and took the bag off her head.But they tied her hands behind her back，and then tied them to the end of the bed.
“You'll stay here until those two men are sent to prison，” Anna said.“Every day we'll send your father a picture of you with today's newspaper，to show you're still alive.”
《公正》(节选)
“你们必须相信我！”
阿兰给警察局打电话后，荷尔警官立即来到医院，还带来了一位李探长。他们听了阿兰的叙述，然后在门外议论了一会儿。然后他们又折回走了进来。
“好吧，科尔先生，”李探长说，“警官们正在搜索堡渥特花园和你女儿的公寓。我也已经通知了港口和机场的警察。绑架者很可能要把你女儿带到境外，你知道。”
“噢，天呐。”阿兰把手捂在脸上。“她可能死了。我再也见不着她了。”
“让我们希望那不是真的吧。”探长说，“现在让我们再来谈谈这个叫安娜的女人。你为什么认为她是恐怖分子呢？”
阿兰又解释了一遍。爆炸前一晚到了马厩；安娜，10分钟没和他在一起；她打电话叫他不许跟警察说，否则简就得死。由于这么生气和害怕，他很难表达清楚。他开始哭泣。“没有用了，”他说，“简要死了。”
“冷静些，科尔先生。”探长说，“你看，我们还没有肯定这个安娜就是个恐怖分子。我们已经抓了往马车里放炸弹的那两个人。实际上，其中一个已经在今天早上招供了。另一个很快也会承认的。”
“可他们不是——肯定不是！如果他们是杀人犯，安娜为什么要给我打电话呢？为什么她说要是我对她的事不保持沉默的话，她就要杀了我女儿呢？”
“你肯定电话里是安娜的声音吗？”
“我当然肯定！而且还有简的声音！我能听出我自己女儿的声音，是不是？”阿兰嚷道。
“呣，”探长慢慢地说，“现在谈谈你女儿。你觉得她在听到安娜的事时不高兴吗？你知道，有时女儿不喜欢父亲有女朋友。也许她生你的气了。”
“不，真不是。不过，可能有一点儿。”
“我在工作中碰到过一些奇怪的事，科尔先生，很多都是由于家庭纠纷造成的。你看，有可能你女儿根本没有被绑架。她可能只是生你的气，想让你不再见到安娜。也许——我以前见过这种情况——她让一个朋友给你打电话，假装是安娜……”
“不！”阿兰叫道，“简不是那样的人！她吓坏了，我能从电话里听出来。安娜绑架了她！你们必须相信我！”
那时另一个警官走进来悄声跟李探长说了几句话，李探长立即起身离开了屋子。他回来时脸上表情严肃。
“堡渥特花园的房子空着，”他告诉阿兰，“那两个人在爆炸的那天早晨离开了。我们在你女儿的公寓没发现什么有用的东西——但我们找到了她的手提包，里边还有钥匙。她出门不带钥匙看起来奇怪，是不是？”
“她在哪儿？”阿兰小声说，“你们能找到她吗？”
“要是你女儿被绑架了，她可能在任何地方。”探长说，“我们唯一的希望是绑架者再给你打电话，那么我们就可以查出电话是从哪儿打来的。现在我们给你配一部电话，还会有两个女警察整夜陪着你。如果安娜真来电话，拖住她说话。告诉她你什么也没对警察说，并要求跟简讲话。就说你必须听到她的声音。”
他们在阿兰床边的桌子上放了一部电话。他盯着电话，一遍一遍地默念着：我必须听到她的声音。我必须听到她的声音。
他们把简放到一间小卧室里，解开她脚上的绳子，拿走她头上的袋子。但他们把她的手反绑在背后，然后又把她的手捆在床头上。
“你要待在这儿，直到那两个人被送进监狱。”安娜说，“我们每天都会给你爸爸发送一张你的照片和当日的报纸，告诉他你还活着。”
“然后怎样？”
“然后……再说。也许，要是你爸爸乖乖的，我们就让你走，”安娜说，“要是你也保持沉默的话。”
但是简注视着凯夫的脸。他不会让我走的，她想，永远不会。要是我不逃跑，我就会死在这儿。
当他们离开屋子时，她躺在黑暗中，琢磨着怎么逃跑。“我不想死，”她想，“而且要是他们杀了我，那么对爸爸来说该多糟啊。还有那两个无辜的爱尔兰人，他们要为自己没干过的事坐30年牢。”
“那个坏蛋凯夫要杀了我。我得逃跑。我必须逃。”
“Then what？”
“Then...we'll see.Perhaps，if your father is a good boy，we'll let you go，” Anna said.“If you keep quiet too.”
But Jane was watching Kev's face.He won't let me go，she thought.Never.If I don't escape，I'll die here.
When they had left the room，she lay in the dark，wondering how she could escape.“I don't want to die”，she thought.“And how terrible it will be for Dad if they kill me.And then there are those two innocent⑤ Irishmen，who will spend thirty years in prison for something they didn't do.”
“That bastard⑥ Kev's going to kill me.I've got to try to escape.I just have to.”
For hours she tried to get free but it was impossible.The rope only hurt her wrists more.But at least she could move her hands，up and down the end of the old bed.Once，towards morning，she pulled the rope hard against the bed，but it didn't break.Instead，something cut her hand，and she had an idea.
Could it cut the rope as well?
She moved the rope up and down across the end of the bed.It was very difficult because she couldn't see what she was doing.Three times she cut herself，and there was blood on the rope.But by early morning，the rope broke.Her hands were free！What now?
She tried the door but it was locked.Downstairs，she could hear a radio，and she could smell coffee.So one of them，at least，was in the house.
Then she had another idea.She lay down on the bed and arranged the rope around her wrists，behind her back.Then she screamed，“Hey！You！Terrorist murderers！Come up here now！I'm thirsty！Get up here and give me a drink！”
In a few minutes，she heard someone on the stairs.
“Breakfast，Mr.Cole，” the nurse said.“Eat up like a good boy，then you'll feel better.” She smiled.
“I'm not a child，”Alan thought.“Oh God，I'm a father who's lost a child！”He pushed the eggs and tomatoes away，and drank a cup of black coffee.
她挣扎了几个小时想挣脱绳索，可都不可能。绳子只是把她的手腕磨得更疼。但至少她能在这个旧床的床头上下活动她的手了。有一次在将要天亮时，她使劲在床头来回拉绳子，但没弄断。反之，有什么东西划破她的手，于是她有了主意。
它也能划断绳子吗？
她在床头上下磨着绳子。做这件事很难，因为她看不见自己做的。她有三次都划伤了自己，绳子上染上了血。但到清早时绳子断了。她的手自由了！现在怎么办？
她试着开门，可门锁着。她能听见楼下传来的收音机声，还能闻见咖啡味儿。也就是说至少他们中的一个在这房子中。
于是她又有了主意。她躺到床上，自己背着手把绳子绕在手腕上。然后她大喊：“嘿！你们！恐怖分子谋杀犯！现在到这儿来！我渴了！上这儿来给我杯喝的！”
几分钟后，她听到有人上了楼梯。
“早饭，科尔先生。”护士说，“乖乖地吃完了，你会感觉好些的。”她微笑着。
“我又不是小孩，”阿兰想。“噢，天啊，我是个失去孩子的父亲！”他把鸡蛋和西红柿推开，只喝了一杯黑咖啡。

《公正》之“公正”解读
公正是什么呢？书中作者并没有给出明确的答案，也没有明确告诉我们如何做才能达到公正。其实，世界上是不存在完全公正的。因为我们每个人都有自己的信仰、自己的原则、自己的立场，每个时候所想的公正都是站在一个已知身份的角度。这本书的最大特点之一就是在教给你真理的时候，同时又给你带来了困惑。
