When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority （優(yōu)先）.This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings "talk" to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
【小題1】According to Paragraph 1，students_________.

A．regard music as a way of entertainment
B．disagree with their parents on education
C．view music as an overlooked subject
D．prefer the arts to science
【小題2】In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ___________.
A．compare it with rock music
B．show music reflects a society
C．introduce American musical traditions
D．prove music influences people's lifestyles
【小題3】According to the passage, the arts and science________.
A．a(chǎn)pproach the world from different angles
B．explore different phenomena of the world
C．express people's feelings in different ways
D．explain what it means to be human differently
【小題4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Music education deserves more attention.
B．Music should be of top education priority.
C．Music is an effective communication tool.
D．Music education makes students more imaginative. '

Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.

There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.

1.The early language had ________.

A．a(chǎn) lot of problems                        B．words and easy grammar

C．words but no grammar                   D．grammar but not many words

2.In the next few hundred years we can expect language to _____.

A．stay exactly the same

B．change a great deal

C．change only a little

D．a(chǎn)sk more words and drop some grammar

3.What this article shows is that _____.

A．languages change fast

B．languages really don't want to change

C．language really with changes in society

D．Spanish and English change

采訪中有5處需要添加信息。請從以下選項中（A, B, C, D, E和F）中選出符合各段意思的選項。選項中有一項是多余的。

A．Do established musicians have a responsibility to guide and assist young up-and–coming musicians?

B．Did anyone promote your musical education when you were growing up?

C．What kind of “world music” do you enjoy?

D．What’s your comment on pop music?

E．Does the contemporary music press give jazz the coverage it deserves?

F．What’s wrong with the music on the radio?

An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician

61 _________________________________

There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young．I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art．I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed．Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my talent and the talents of other students in our school．

62．_____________________________

Yes．We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs．Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music．For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good．How they sound is secondary．Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame．We need to teach young people about the alternatives．

63．______________________________

Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language．I’d call it folk music．When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio．

64．_______________________________

The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming．Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, which underscore funk．As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over．Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me．

65．_________________________________

The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it．Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name．New jazz musicians don’t get much of break．A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis．That’s a shame．What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal．They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids．It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing．

Visitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub. But these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes (失禮) for the newcomers. A team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs-starting with the difficulty of getting a drink. Most pubs have no waiters-you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. A group of Italian youths waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their own. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose.

Pub culture is designed to promote sociability (社交) in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior. “If you haven't been to a pub, you haven't been to Britain.” This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists' Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers' rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”．

The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order.

1. The underlined word “sample” in the first paragraph probably means “________”．

A．taste

B．experience

C．test

D．record ．

2.The culture of pub in Britain is so developed to ______.

A．encourage people to communicate with each other

B．encourage more people to consume drinks

C．a(chǎn)ttract more tourists to the pubs

D．form its own character of culture

3.If you don't follow the local rules in a pub, ________.

A．you won't buy good local drinks

B．you may annoy the regular customers and bar staff

C．you may fail to feel the local culture

D．you might get into a dangerous place

4.What may be the best title for the passage?

A．Self-service Pubs in Britain

B．British Local Pubs: Special Chat Places

C．Local Pub Culture in Britain

D．Manners in British Local Pubs
