Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets（預算）. For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That39。s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn39。t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial（有益的）in many ways. When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解碼）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time. Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music：Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano. （1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ____. A.they were too difficult to learnB.students in the US weren39。t interested in musicC.the schools wanted to control budgetsD.there weren39。t enough music teachers in the US（2）In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word them refer to（指代）?

A.Music is as simple as it looks.B.Music classes should be cut in some schools.C.Music is a big part of our lives.D.Music isn39。t a very important life skill for us.【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文介紹了很多地區(qū)削減了音樂課以控制預算，這是不合適的，因為音樂在許多方面都是有益的。 （1）細節(jié)題。根據(jù)some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets可知美國的一些學校停課，因為學校想控制預算，故選C。 （2）詞義猜測題。根據(jù)Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers...10 percent of the teachers taught art or music 芝加哥公立學校解雇了1000多名教師……10%的教師教授藝術或音樂，可知them指代被解雇的教師，故選D。 （3）細節(jié)題。根據(jù) Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano 愛因斯坦拉小提琴，德國物理學家馬克斯普朗克擅長彈鋼琴可知文章提到了2名擅長演奏音樂的科學家，故選B。 （4）推理題。根據(jù) Music has a special connection with science as well 音樂也與科學有著特殊的聯(lián)系 可知作者的觀點是音樂是我們生活的一大部分，故選C。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細節(jié)題、推斷題，詞義猜測題，細節(jié)題要注意從文中尋找答案；推斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文，推斷出需要的信息，詞義猜測題需要根據(jù)上下文提煉相關信息鎖定詞意。6．閱讀理解 In the UK, Saturday evenings have always been a popular time for families to watch television together. One of the most popular programme genres is the talent show, partly because people of all ages are interested in it. Early shows, like Opportunity Knocks（1965~1978）, required people to vote（投票）for their favourite acts and performers, although in those days voting was done by postcard instead of by telephone, text, or over the Internet. Today, the success of television talent shows has reached a new level. Here are the UK39。s top three TV talent shows： The X Factor In this wonderful singing petition, performers have to face a celebrity judge panel（名人裁判組）before the public vote. Many excellent singers became popular because of it. The show is now made all over the world, from China to Colombia. Strictly Come Dancing The programme is so fantastic th
