D.Beijing WorkersGymnasium.BMany people underestimate music education in the schools today. A new study showed, however, music education is extremely important.In college, music education is one of the largest programs. Teachers have to learn general education materials and techniques. They must learn to play every instrument; they must learn music history and music theory; they must learn instrument repair and teaching methodologies; they must learn conducting and so much more. At the same time, much of our culture and tradition is absorbed in music.Music plays a very important role in our education.Music helps with math and science. Students learn to count, keep a steady rhythm, and how to multiply and divide. They even learn a little bit of algebra (代数). Students also use science to discover what sounds good together and what does not. Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”, which is about how music is produced by vibration (颤动) and why.Students learn a lot about languages through music. Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones. Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. A song is likely to be a famous short work set to music; so students are exposed to that very often while singing.Students learn a huge amount of cooperation of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. Students must use motor (肌肉运动的) skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind (管乐器) players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as theyre playing the music.Music education also brings higher thinking to our children. It allows them to think about plex patterns. It almost leads to a philosophical environment. Students have to be absolutely aware of what every other musician does at every time. In that way, it develops cooperation, as well. They tend to develop more capability for learning.As one can see, music is very important to education.4.As to the benefits from music, which of the following is NOT included in the passage?A.Relaxation.B.Language study.C.Calculation. D.Cooperation of body parts.5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Science and music are against each other.B.Music is good to our all-round development.C.Only the wisest person can learn music well.D.All of us know the importance of music clearly.6.The last paragraph serves to .A.let everyone discuss B.introduce another topic C.summarize the whole passageD.explain the purpose of writing the passage7.What is the best title of the passage?A.Music and educationB.An introduction to music educationC.The importance of music educationD.Abilities required for music educationCAs a professor I have grown accustomed to the opinion regarding American education. We are repeatedly told that American schools are failing, that colleges are not teaching, and that the students of today are not as good as the students of the past.There are, of course, problems with the education system. Because of economic inequality some schools are significantly better than others and the ideas of equality of education and equality of opportunity are cruel jokes. However, the mere fact that there are some serious problems does not mean that all the dire claims are true.One stock (陈腐的) claim is that America has fallen behind the world in education in terms of performance on various tests. While the fact that America is behind other countries is a point of concern, there are at least three points worth considering here. The first is the above-mentioned economic inequality which will tend to result in poorer performance when taking the average for America. The second is that many countries have put considerable effort into improving their education systems and hence it is worth considering that Americas decline is also due to the improvement of others. The third is the matter of the measuresdo they, in fact, present an accurate picture of the situation? I am not claiming that the data is bad. I am merely raising a reasonable concern about how accurate our picture of education is at this time.Another stock claim is that American students are doing badly on standardized tests. While there is clearly value in assessment, it is reasonable to consider whether or not such tests are a proper and adequate measure of education. It is also worth considering whether the puzzle with these tests is itself causing damage to education. That is, as teachers teach for the test and students learn for the test, it might be the case that what is being taught is not what should be taught and what is being learned is not what should be learned.8.What does the underlined word “dire” in the second paragraph mean? A.Exact or precise. B.Extremely serious or terrible. C.Fair or objective.D.Long and boring.9.Judging by the text, the claims are centered on _.A.what should be taught in the American classroom B.fair judgment of American education C.American students performance on testsD.an accurate picture of American colleges 10.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.People questioned the value in assessment.B.Standardized tests are not proper and adequate.C.The tests are causing damage to education.D.American students perform poorly in standardized tests.11.The passage is written mainly to .A.defend American educationB.show dissatisfaction with American education C.explain why American students do badly on tests D.offer advice on American education reformDTechnology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.Now one American pany is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted in their hands.Employees who have these chips(芯片) can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands.Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free.Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip.Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands.About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so.The president of the pany,his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.The chip is about the size of a grain of rice.Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly.The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger.With a chip in the hand,a person can enter the office building,buy food,sign into puters and more,simply by waving that hand near a scanner.The chips will he also used to identify employees.Employees who want convenience,but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin,can wear a wristband（腕带）or a ring with a chip instead.They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.Three Square Market is the first pany in the United Slates to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter ,a pany in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while. Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees.The pany says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.”The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in xx,so they should be safe for humans,according to the pany.In the future,people with the chips may be able to do more with them,even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market.He says,“Eventually,this technology will bee standardized allowing you to use this as your passport,public transit,all purchasing opportunities, etc.”12.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.The substitutes of the chips. B.The potential risks of implanting the chips.C.The places to implant the chips. D.The advantages of the chips.13.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.the hands B.the scannersC.the employees D.the credit cards 14.We can infer that_.A.the chips have magic powers B.the price of the chips is reasonableC.the chips are very popular among the employees D.most people suspect the application of the chips15.Which of the following best describes Todd Westbys attitude towards the chips?A.Defensive.
