a variety of styles,originally popular among working class white Americans in the rural areas of the South and West.Originally known as “hillbilly music”,the term was replaced by country and western music in 1949 and eventually shortened to country music.But the origins of country music can be traced back to a century ago.There are many immigrants from Britain and Ireland.Their songs and dances,nursery rhymes and ballads,would form the most important part of the folk musical tradition of rural America,and the basis for what became known as “old time”music.These roots of country music lie largely in the folk songs and instrumental music of the English,Irish,and Scots who settled in the Appalachian areas of the Mid-South during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.Many of these mountainous areas were not settled until the 1830s,and then by impoverished immigrants who were concerned with the daily struggle for survival.The communities were cut off from the rest of America and still attached to their traditions.Other origins of country music can be traced back to the flamenco and habanera music of Spain,the polka and other dances of Eastern Europe andas with almost all the popular music of the United Statesthe influence of the slave populations shipped from the African continent.In fact one of the major instruments in Appalachian and early country music,the banjo,has its origins in Afro-American history.Two publishing events in the early part of the 20th century excited a widespread interest in Americas white musical tradition and “old time” music.First,in 1910,the musicologist John Lomax published CowboySongsandOtherFrontierBallads.Then in 1916 the English song collector Cecil Sharp put together a collection of folk music from the Appalachian mountains.But it wasnt until 1922,when Texas fiddler(小提琴家) Eck Robertson cut the first record of “old time”music,that the popularity of what also became known as“hillbilly music”really began to grow,via pioneering artists,record labels and radio stations.The record that more generally gets cited as the first country release was made in June 1923 by Fiddlin John Carson.21.What does the text mainly discuss?A.The history of the US folk music.B.The origins of country music.C.The influence of “old time” music.D.The waves of immigrants in the US.答案B解析主旨大意题。本文介绍了美国乡村音乐的起源。关键词句有“Buttheoriginsofcountrymusic.”,“Theserootsofcountrymusic.”,“Otheroriginsofcountrymusic.”等。22.The underlined word “impoverished” in Paragraph 3 most probably means“”.A.brave B.poor C.legal D.kind答案B解析词义猜测题。根据画线单词后的“whowereconcernedwiththedailystruggleforsurvival”可知,美国早期移民的生活很艰难,故可推断这个单词的含义应为“贫困的”。23.Who made a great contribution to the spread of Appalachian music?A.Fiddlin John Carson.B.Eck Robertson.C.Cecil Sharp.D.John Lomax.答案C解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Thenin1916theEnglishsongcollectorCecilSharpputtogetheracollectionoffolkmusicfromtheAppalachianmountains.”可知C项正确。24.Country music first became widely known in the .A.1830sB.1840sC.1910sD.1920s答案D解析细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Butitwasntuntil1922.thatthepopularityofwhatalsobecameknownashillbillymusicreallybegantogrow.”可知,乡村音乐开始被人们熟知是在20世纪20年代。B(思维品质)“Music for Little Mozarts” is a program designed to help your little ones develop a love of music.Learning music at an early age helps develop little minds and expand their cognitive(认知的)ability.While listening to music can certainly help your youngster pick up songs,actually learning to play the piano can help your childs education development.This program focuses on little creatures that both entertain and teach.By grasping the attention of a young childs mind and engaging them with stories along with hands on experience,you can provide them with a positive experience that just may produce a little Mozart in later years.Within this multi-book and multi-year lesson plan there are ten little characters that help draw the child into the lesson plan.These little creatures actually can be used to help the child grasp basic concepts in music.The series starts out in the preschool years and provides day by day lessons that can aid the child or a classroom of children right through early adolescence(青春期).The series is designed for both classroom and preschool use and for those at home with homeschoolers.It contains a series of books along with audio CDs,flash cards,and other visual aids that can help very young children develop an ear and an eye for music.It can be hard to hold the attention spans of children for very long.However,with the right creativity and the proper attention along with simple,easy-to-understand daily lessons,most children will not only grasp music rather quickly,they will also develop a love of real music,not just banging on a piano keyboard and making sounds.The short,daily lessons are planned out so that children learn to play music by ear.They learn to play real songs and master real passages quickly and easily.This element keeps them involved.They also master playing by ear and then later by reading rather quickly.25.This program is intended for children to .A.learn how to sing songsB.master playing the piano quicklyC.learn some basic music knowledgeD.experience charm of music答案B解析推理判断题。最后两段指出了该教程的内容和目的:学弹钢琴,在快乐的情景中建立起对音乐的爱好和良好的感受。26.The underlined word “creatures” probably refers to .A.children to learn musicB.the characters of the programC.cartoon animalsD.education methods答案C解析词义猜测题。综合分析第二段第一句和第三段第二句可知,这是用来帮助引起孩子们的注意力并激发他们的兴趣的东西,四个选项中只有C项具有这个特征。27.The last two paragraphs mainly tell the readers .A.what this program offersB.the relation between ear and musicC.its more important to use ear than reading ability to learn musicD.this program is useful to develop childrens love of music quickly答案D解析主旨大意题。这两段三次使用了quickly,分别用于“孩子快速地理解音乐”(第五段第二句)、“快速掌握和演奏真正的音乐”(第六段第二句)、“快速通过从听到直接识谱掌握演奏技能”(第六段最后一句),可知答案为D项。C(思维品质)I love listening to music and theres never been a better time to be a music fan.With so many ways to get music,we can listen to it any way we want,wherever we want.Although some fans still like to use CD players,the most popular way to listen to music nowadays is by either downloading (下载) or streaming(在线试听).As Internet connections get better,more MP3s are downloaded and shared.But the sound quality of these MP3s is not so good when compared to tapes or CDs.However,new generations(代) of music fans have grown used to this cheapened sound quality and dont mind.Streaming technology has made it even easier to listen to your favourite music.For a monthly price of about $10 (there are also free services with advertisements),users can listen to an endless amount of music from smartphones,computers and television sets.Unfortunately,streaming is not without its downsides.Because all of the music is provided online,a strong Internet connection is necessary.Although it may seem like the Internet is available everywhere,there may be situations where you dont get connected.Agreements with music companies and artists also need to be reached before streaming services are allowed to host their music.Whether you choose to download or stream music,the artist does not make much money.The low payment from downloading and streaming music has also led to the continuing increase in concert ticket prices.And we can only expect these prices to increase greatly in the future.Much as I would like to have all my music for free,I realise that it will kill the industry Ive enjoyed for most of my life.I cant say for certain which is betterdownloading or streamingbut I do know how I can do my little part to help musicians continue making great music.Rather than focus on (关注) one or the other,Im going to continue doing what Ive been doing since I first discovered music:listen to it any way I can.28.One of the disadvantages of streaming lies in that .A.there is a possibility of disconnectionB.there isnt much choice in the musicC.its music is of very poor qualityD.one has to pay for it答案A解析推理判断题。根据第四段介绍在线试听受到网络连接和艺人及其公司协议的影响可知,在线试听的不足之处在于可能会有突发状况导致不能聆听音乐。29.Downloading or streaming music may cause .A.fewer people to enter the music industryB.great artists to get discouragedC.music companies to go brokeD.a big rise in live music prices答案D解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Thelowpaymentfromdownloadingandstreamingmusichasalsoledtothecontinuingincreaseinconcertticketprices.”可知。30.What will the author probably do in the future?A.Stop downloading or streaming music.B.Listen to music in different ways.C.Help musicians make music.D.Try to choose free music.答案B解析推理判断题。由最后一段的“Ratherthanfocuson(关注)oneortheother.listentoitanywayIcan.”可知,作者在今后不会只是下载或在线试听音乐,也会通过其他方式来听他喜欢的音乐。31.The text is probably written to .A.describe the difficult situation of the music industryB.explain the influence of the Internet on musicC.discuss two ways of listening to musicD.compare two different music types答案C解析写作目的题。文章主要讨论了当下最流行的两种不同的听音乐的方式,故C项符合题意。D(思维品质)The arts,especially music,should be part of every schools lessons at every grade level.Students will be much smarter(聪明的) if they have some musical experience.They could improve their classroom skills,like paying attention and following directions.People develop all these skills when they learn music.Making music also lets children use their imagination.It provides(提供) students with a chance to try out their own ideas.Music not only makes children better students,but also gives them something positive to do.In a music program,children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang(一群可能肇事的年轻人).Parents can enjoy listening to their childrens music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen.In a school band,students get to be part of a team.They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.Music builds self-confidence,too.It gives children a sense of achievement and success.Making music is something for them to be proud of,and it lets kids practice performing(表演) in front of an audience.Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.In a word,music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character.That is why music should be provided in every single grade in every school.32.According to the passage,music could make students smarter by .A.improving their classroom skills and attentionB.improving their classroom skills and imaginationC.improving their attention and imaginationD.learning music,making music and trying out their own ideas答案B解析根据第一段第三句“Theycouldimprovetheirclassrooms
