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，全國各地的公立學校正在削減音樂課，以節(jié)省開支。但作者認為學生的學業(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生相互聯(lián)系。作者提出需要確保所有學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. ”學生的學業(yè)成績似乎取決于他們是否參加音樂教育。上音樂課對學生的學業(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生作為一個團隊通過音樂自信、有共同目標在一起合作。一個是日本學生，一個美國的學生，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. ”學生的學業(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. ”公立學校的音樂課程也有助于增強學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生的學業(yè)成績，又可以有益于學生的心理健康，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），學生的學業(yè)提高和精神健康可能會受到影響。事實上，音樂課是學校所有學生所必需的。作者認為音樂課是重要的，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，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 In colleges around the country, most students are also workers. The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too. This isn39。t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and onefifth of students work year round. About onequarter of those who work while attending school have both a fullcourse load and a fulltime job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (學費) and living costs, obviously. And there39。s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with alreadydeveloped skill sets, onthejob training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on. But it39。s not all upside. Even fulltime work may not pletely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a fulltime job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they39。re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes. There is little reward for attending but not finishing college Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn39。t gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.（1）According to the passage, the reality of college students is that ________. throw parties a lot stay up late every night work besides attending classes pay no attention to exams（2）What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students? need of developing social networks. lack of summer jobs for young adults. chance of finding a job after graduation. expenses of high tuition and living costs.（3）We can learn from the passage that _________. students are more likely to finish college can cover their college expenses through working receive a huge reward for managing work and class while attending school may not help students get career benefits（4）What is the best title for the passage? Difficulties of Landing a Job Struggle of WorkSchool Balance Reward of Working While Studying Images of Working College Students【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，講述大學生在校期間學習和工作平衡的利與弊。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“In colleges around the country, most students are also colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.”可知，在大學里面，多數(shù)的學生也是工人。他們既要忙于學習和參加活動又要忙著工作。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“With many employers looking for students with alreadydeveloped skill sets, onthejob training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.”可知，很多老板聘用具備成熟技能的學生，大學期間的工作培訓可能是以后找工作的最好方法。這是大學生參加工作的間接原因，故選C。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.”在校期間工作太多可能對學生的財務(wù)和職業(yè)發(fā)展并無益處。故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。縱觀全文可知，本文講述大學生在校期間工作均衡的利與弊。The Struggle of WorkSchool Balance“在校期間學習工作平衡的沖突”概括了全文內(nèi)容，適合作為標題。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Buddy or Friendship Benches (長椅)are needed because playgrounds can be lonely places sometimes. When a school places the bench, they teach a little lesson to the kids on how it is to be used. Then when a child sits on the bench, it sends out a message to others that basically says, Hey, I39。m alone right now and would wele the pany (陪伴) of others. Kids in the playground see this and from their training, they see there is a fellow student in need. They are encouraged to e over and sit on the benc
