To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone’s life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings , the moving plot(情节),and the greatest interests be as exciting or dramatic(戏剧性)? I’m not sure about it.

Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning——the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too——in the rhythm(旋律) of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.

It is well said,“Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart,feels the joy of doing things along, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”

( ) 36. What does the writer say more about in the text?

A. Life full of music. B. Life without music.

C. Importance of music. D. Development of music.

答案:A 不是单纯的说明音乐的重要性，而是音乐融于人们的日常生活中，以及对人们产生的重要影响。

( ) 37. Form the text, we know that many people __________.

A. don’t realize the importance of music

B. get along quite well without music

C. go to the concert instead of enjoying music

D. think music would be less exciting than films

答案:A 作者认为“many people get along well without going to the concert and listening to the record”是因为他们没有认识音乐的重要性而已。

( ) 38. In the writer’s opinion,if there was no music in films or TV plays, __________.

A. the cinema and theatre would be quiet B. we would lose some of the audience

C. everything would be as exiting as before D. it would be hard to imagine the result

答案:D 见文章第一段最后一句。

( ) 39. What does the underlined word“melody” mean in the text ?

A flying B. looking C. singing D. living

答案:C 从前面“the rhythm of the sea”进而想到鸟在丛林中的歌唱，两者在一定意义上都属于音乐。

( ) 40. From the last paragraph, we learn the music __________.

A. is very important, especially for children B. is very necessary for our everyday life

C. can make our life exciting and dramatic D. can enter another beautiful word

答案:A 本段大意为通过音乐孩子们能进入一个美妙的世界，还能发展智力，强健身体，可见音乐对孩子而言是十分重要的。

C

Carnegie was born in 1888 to a poor farming family in the central United States. The boy didn’t see a train until he was 12 years old. In his teens,he had to get up at 3 a. m every day to milk the cows in his family.

When Carnegie first entered college, he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary looks. His mother encouraged him: “Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”

Carnegie tried to be more active in college. He joined the debate team(辩论队). But one after another,he lost 12 meets. The young man was very disappointed in himself. He said later that he thought of killing himself after so many failures.

But soon Carnegie was seen practising public speaking on the riverside.

His hard work paid off(得到好结果) at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech contest and became widely known.

The young man made his own words come true , “Believe that you will succeed, and you will”.

In order to share his success,Carnegie opened schools and wrote books. His best-sellers include “How to Win Friends and Influence(影响)People” and “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living”.

____________________________________________________________________________

答案: One possible version

The 21st Century

Sometimes I dream about life in the 21st century. What will it be like? Perhaps some people will go to the moon for a holiday, and some scientists will live under the sea. Maybe we’ll have videophones in every home. We can have a medical examination or do some shopping without leaving our homes.

And I’m sure there’ll be more educational programmes on the radio and TV, so perhaps some children won’t need to go to school every day. They’ll study at home.

Many people don’t like doing housework. Maybe in the 21st century each family will have a robot what to do-shopping, housework, and so on. I believe the dream will be realized.
