【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ademic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to smoke. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance. Music crosses language, class and culture. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with selfconfidence and mon purpose through music. The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.（1）The two studies seem to show that ________. with great success attend music lessons classes play an important role in students39。 growth all students could have music classes at school who have music classes do better in all subjects（2）The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that ________. makes crosscultural munication possible cultures have different styles of music has a good relationship with America and American students are good at playing the piano（3）What can we learn about education with music classes? allows schools to make more money. can cause a lot of academic problems. will affect the world cultural munication greatly. does good to students39。 academic success and spiritual health.（4）What is the best title for the text? Importance of Music Classes in School—A Bridge to Understanding on Music Education to Get Music Back【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，研究表明，全國各地的公立學(xué)校正在削減音樂課，以節(jié)省開支。但作者認(rèn)為學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成績似乎取決于他們是否參加音樂教育；音樂課程也有助于增強學(xué)生的自豪感和自信心，音樂跨越語言、階級和文化。音樂使來自不同國家的學(xué)生相互聯(lián)系。作者提出需要確保所有學(xué)生都參加必要的音樂課。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Students39。 academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education. ”學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成績似乎取決于他們是否參加音樂教育。上音樂課對學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)有幫助，故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“Two students from different cultures worked as a team with selfconfidence and mon purpose through music. ”兩個來自不同文化背景的學(xué)生作為一個團(tuán)隊通過音樂自信、有共同目標(biāo)在一起合作。一個是日本學(xué)生，一個美國的學(xué)生，借由音樂而合作、交流。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Students39。 academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education. ”學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成績似乎取決于他們是否參加音樂教育；第三段中的”Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student39。s sense of pride and selfconfidence. ”公立學(xué)校的音樂課程也有助于增強學(xué)生的自豪感和自信心。兩處結(jié)合，可以推斷出音樂即可以有助于學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成績，又可以有益于學(xué)生的心理健康，故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“But without them, students39。 academic (學(xué)術(shù)的) growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.” 但是，沒有他們（音樂），學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)提高和精神健康可能會受到影響。事實上，音樂課是學(xué)校所有學(xué)生所必需的。作者認(rèn)為音樂課是重要的，這是文章的主旨，故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, you39。re not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (獎杯)? If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She39。s a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn39。t have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best. The trophy has to stand for something, Dweck told TFK. If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value. Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best. Others say that there39。s no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved. I think we should encourage kids39。 participation in sports, says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City. A trophy is one way to encourage kids39。 efforts. Barish argues that when we single out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. Winning is only part of the equation (等式), Barish told TFK. Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise. There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about petition as they get older, says Barish. They39。ll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there39。s nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone.（1）According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy? , the most attractive player of the soccer team., a soccer player who is both clever and funny., who is ready to help his partners to score goals., a soccer player who tries his best to win the game（2）Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with? is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone. fond of playing sports should be rewarded. should be given trophies for trying their best. is necessary to encourage kids39。 participation in sports.（3）The underlined phrase single out in Paragraph 6 probably means ________． （4）What is the best title of the passage? deserves a trophy? kids deserve a trophy does a trophy deserve? player deserves a trophy【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文。如果孩子參加體育比賽，那么是不是每個人都該得到獎杯呢？作者就這個問題給出了兩種不同的看法。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.”可知，斯坦福大學(xué)的心理學(xué)教授Carol Dweck認(rèn)為，進(jìn)步最大的、對團(tuán)隊精神貢獻(xiàn)最多的和表現(xiàn)最佳的運動員都應(yīng)獲獎。故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“I think we should encour
