But for some inspiring young musicians from the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul, the road to the famous concert hall was more difficult.The Afghan Youth Orchestra (AYO) is made up of young people who study at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music. It was the first orchestra created in Afghanistan in 30 years.Gulalai Norestani, 14, plays a traditional string instrument. Like many students, Gulalai became an orphan when her parents were killed during the ongoing war. Music is her salvation (救赎). “Music for me is a language of peace，” Gulalai said. “It connects people.”Milad Yousufi, 18, is a piano student. “Music is my life，” he said. Milad also lost many of his family members during the war. When music was banned, he couldnt even touch a piano. So as a 12yearold boy, he started painting and drawing. “I used to draw a piano，” he said. Finally, Milad was free to play a real piano. “Our dream came true，” he said. “It is everyones dream to play in Carnegie Hall.”And he has more dreams. “I have a dream to continue my education in America，” he explained. “I am working hard to make that happen. Then I have a dream to e back to Afghanistan and teach and serve people.”Because of continuing limits in Afghanistan, Gulalai and Milad listen mostly to the kind of classical music they played at Carnegie Hall. But Gulalai says shes heard a bit of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira and she likes them. Milad says he has heard of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, but hasnt yet had a chance to listen to them.Before Milad went onstage that night with the band of Afghan kids who had survived a war, I asked him if he had ever experienced true peace. “No, not yet，” he answered, adding, “I hope I will be able to.”Later during the performance, as he played one of Carnegie Halls famous grand pianos, the look of pure joy on his face convinced me that he found peace in music.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了来自阿富汗的一些少年音乐家们到美国的卡内基音乐厅进行演奏、学习音乐的艰难历程以及音乐对他们的影响等。4In the opinion of Gulalai, music _.Amakes people understand each otherBcalms her down in the warCis a kind of violent languageDsaves her from the killing at war解析：选A细节理解题。由第三段最后的“Music for me is a language of peace， Gulalai said.

At age 10, when she saw her grandmothers pain over the death of Adeles grandfather, she pictured herself as a heart surgeon.“I wanted to fix peoples hearts，” she told the UK music website iD, remembering the childhood interest shed had in biology classes until she found out that her real talent was for singing.Adele didnt go to medical school, but many would agree that she still has healing (治愈) powers. “Her songs find the kind of memory every listener holds somewhere in their heart. This kind of feeling is what people have always liked in Adele，” said The Telegraph. “She writes a pop diary, sharing the simple secrets of her heart.”Most successful pop stars make albums at a fast pace, but not Adele. After her second album 21 won the 2012 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, she made it clear with her label that she would spend “four or five years” making her next album. She told Vogue magazine, “I wont e out with new music until its better than 21.”Instead of seeking fame, Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time, she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom, American Horror Story, and The Walking Dead.Living life as normally as possible is important to the singers art. “Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone whos not living in the real world，” Adele told iD. “So I live a lowkey life for my fans.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了英国著名流行歌手阿黛尔阿德金斯在音乐上成功的秘诀。8What does the text mainly tell us?AThe popularity of Adeles album 25.BThe healing powers of Adeles music.CThe secrets of Adeles success in music.DThe reason for Adeles being a singer.解析：选C主旨大意题。文章介绍了沉寂了四年后，阿黛尔阿德金斯又重新回到舞台，发行了其第三张专辑。文章说明了阿黛尔会花很长时间出专辑、将其音乐着眼于自然的特点，这也是她在音乐上得以成功的秘诀。9What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AAdele wasnt interested in music.BAdele wasnt good at music at first.CMusic wasnt very important in Adeles life.DMusic wasnt all Adele wanted to be devoted to.解析：选D句意理解题。根据画线句后面说她十岁时想当心脏外科医生可推断，画线句表示的是音乐并非是阿黛尔想要为之奉献的全部。10Why doesnt Adele want to make albums at a fast pace?ATo live a lowkey life.BTo win the Grammy Award.CTo guarantee the quality of her music.DTo share the secrets of her heart as a musician.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，2012年阿黛尔获得了格莱美年度最佳专辑奖，这让她明白她要花四到五年的时间制作下一张专辑，尤其是该段最后一句“She told Vogue magazine, I wont e out with new music until its better than 21.”可推断，她出专辑速度不快的原因是要保证专辑的质量。11What can we know about Adele?AHer album Hello will e out on Nov. 20.BShe has kept a diary since childhood.CShe moved to the countryside before 2012.DHer works are based on real life.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone whos not living in the real world”可推断，阿黛尔的作品是以真实的生活为基础的。DMusic expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent. Victor HugoThere is certainly no denying (否定) that while a holiday or trip to another country leaves you with a sense of excitement, moving to another country is something entirely different.Speaking from experience, one of the most worrying questions that play on everyones mind is always: how will I make friends? And it bees even more terrible when a foreign language is thrown into the mix.It is a longknown fact that music creates bonds.For a good_reason,_many people have fallen in love or built lifelong friendships based on mutual (共同的) appreciation for a band.No matter who you are, or where you e from, everyone listens to music in some way.So: youve met people, youre making friends, but youve only just overe the “small talk” stages of these friendships.The next bit can sometimes be tricky.But, I always find, as soon as someone breaks the ice with the ageold question “What type of music do you listen to？” the language barriers seem to fall away.Music is something that everyone can speak excitedly about.Music is one of the most important forms of selfexpression and individuality (个性), but, above all, it is a means of munication.Lets also not forget the sense of pride you feel when you introduce someone to a new song that they like.Music is a universal language that everyone can understand.Whether youre playing, singing or just listening, your mother tongue and cultural background bee unimportant; so if youre ever at a loss for something to say, say it with music.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。音乐可以突破语言的限制，有助于人们在异域他乡的生活、工作和交际。12What may make people who move to another country worried?ATheir foreign language is poor.BThey have no good friends there.CThey have no travelling experience.DTheir trip cannot make them excited.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段的“And it bees even more terrible when a foreign language is thrown into the mix.”可知，语言的不熟悉会让去另一个国家的人感到担忧。13What does the underlined part “good reason” refer to?AThe bond.
