D 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 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 does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that Gee 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 emotive (情感的 ) 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 municate 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, 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. 32. According to Paragraph 1, students ____ . A. prefer the arts to science B. disagree with their parents on education C. view music as an overlooked subject D. regard music as a way of entertainment 33. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to_________ . A. pare it with rock music B. prefer the arts to science C. introduce American musical traditions D. show music identifies a society 34. According to the passage, the arts and science__________.

What is the main idea of the passage? A. Music is an effective munication tool. B. Music should be of top education priority. C. Music education deserves more attention. D. Music education makes students more imaginative. 第二節(jié)（共 5 小題，每小題 2 分，共 10 分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處得最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Do you have these socalled bad qualities? If yes, congratulations! You39。re better than you think. It is hard to know what is good or bad these days when it es to what qualities you possess. What strong quality applies to you may be what will drag you to bee successful. And whatever the world has to think or say about those qualities shouldn39。t bother you. Actually, these qualities are what bring out the shine in you. 36 You love taking risks. You like adventures. And you won39。t just be settled in the safe zone. People will ask you why you are always after the thrill and going above the limits. But how will you discover new things when you are always playing it safe? 37
