importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum (课程).the committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost. if students fail the state standardized test，it is not the fault of drama and music classesthey are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient (充足的).it is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. the fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well-rounded people. it blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through artthere is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and english provide. what happens after a test? sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledgecertainly not a good preparation for the real world.1. music and drama are not included in the high school curriculum mainly because _.a. the school committee pays no attention to themb. the school is afraid of losing financial supportc. the students are not interested in both of themd. the state standardized test is more important2. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the sufficiency of the classes determines students performance in the mastery test.b. quite a few students are discouraged from learning music and art in todays school system.c. students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.d. the school committee completely influences studentsattitude towards the arts.3. we can learn that music and art can _.a. motivate students in creativity and expressionb. make students round-shaped people in futurec. provide students with analytical thinkingd. prevent students graduation from high school4. the best title of the passage can be _.a. who killed music and drama?b. can curriculum go without music?c. why is music so important?d. how to prepare for the real world?参考答案14、bbab 阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项
