from all over the world, from europe, africa, and asia, and they have brought their music with them. this mixing of people and music has created american music.music is a very important part of our lives. music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving, and thinking. some songs remind us of our childhood or youth.others remind of the people they love. many important occasions, like weddings and funerals have special music. every nation has a national song like the american “the starspangled banner”. in the us high schools and colleges have school songs too.music is a part of the history of america. it expresses the problems and feelings of its people. as the years pass, the music grows and changes.modern science has also changed music. inventions like records, radios, movies, electric instruments, tape recorders, and videos have changed the way we play and listen to music. they have helped to make music an important form of international communication.american music, from the earliest folk songs to modern “pop”， is known around the world. music is one of americas most important exports. it brings the people of the world together. even when people cannot understand the same language, they can share the same music. many people learn and practise english by singing song. understanding american music can help you understand american people, their history and culture.so, as the song says, “put a dime (10 cents)in the juke box (自动点唱机), baby. lets listen to the music！”21the article mainly tells us about _.ahow american music developed bwhen american music developedcwhat american music is dwhy american music is so popular22the sixth paragraph probably means that _.aamerican music is very popular bamerican music is known to people all over the worldcamerican music can help us understand american people, history and culturedamerican music is important in our lives23 american music is _.afor dancing, drinking, eating, loving and thinking ba mixture of people and music from all over the worldcan important form of international communication da part of the history of the world ba classical guitarist was excited to hear from new york city police that his valuable guitar had been found. it disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a cab and forgot to take the guitar with him. laurence lennon, 44, said he was running late that day. he was talking to his manager on his cell phone when he dashed out of the taxi. he said that he gave the driver $ 60 and told him to keep the change. he walked through the front doors of the concert hall still talking on the phone to his manager.upon discovering his loss, lennon used his cell phone to call the police. the policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company, the number of the cab, and the name of the driver. he said that she had to be kidding.she told lennon that he could file a missing items report at the police station or online. lennon asked for the online address. she told him that finding the guitar might take a couple of yearsfinding guitars was not as important as finding murderers and marijuana smokers. then she told him to have a nice day.“this year has been depressing，” said lennon. “i had to postpone the recording of two new cds. ive been using borrowed guitars. and i was losing hope of ever recovering my guitar.”lennon was reunited with his $ 100,000 musical instrument yesterday. the case and the guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffee house only two blocks from where lennon had lost it in the first place. lennon had offered a $ 10,000 reward for its return. he said he would give the reward to the coffee house owner, who had informed the police.24it can be inferred from this reading passage that_.alennon gave the driver much more money than what was actually neededblennon couldnt give any useful information about the driver and his cabclennon was too busy talking to his friend to remember to pay the cab driverdlennon used to work at the concert hall in new york city25the policewoman told lennon_.anot to worry about the guitar bto have a nice day in new york citycto find the cab driver and talk to him dto wait with patience26which of the following is the most important according to the policewoman?afinding a lost guitar. bfinding the cab driver.cfinding murderers. denjoying ones own life27the underlined word“depressing”can be best explained by“_”amaking people feel sad bmaking people unfortunatecmaking people losing money dmaking people losing good luck c listening to music can help me focus better. since i discovered it two years ago, ive used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively. ive found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity. i first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games. it was a few days before christmas in 2008 and i was playing online video games. my parents had just given me a new mp3, so i decided to listen to music through the headphones while i played. after a few minutes i noticed a great change in my style of play. i was playing more naturally. the music relaxed me, and, to a certain extent, distracted me from the game, allowing my subconscious（潜意识的）talent to come through. the music also helped me block out the outside world. with those headphones on i was like a machine, moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions. music can also have a great effect on mood. if im in a bad mood at work, ill listen to some of bob marleys and get down to business. it always takes my mind off what im doing and makes me a happier person. the same is true for classic rock. one summer, i did a boring job collecting bottle openers by hand. without a radio playing classic rock in the background, i would have hated life. listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive message helps you forget your work and think happy thoughts. but the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes. experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks. by trial and error youll finally discover your best choice. im always looking for new concentration aids, so id love to know what type of music works best for me. 28. we can infer that the passage was written in _. a. 2005 b. 2006 c. 2010 d. 2008 29. the author first discovered the effects of music _. a. from his parents b. by chance c. at work d. when he was a child 30. the author mentions the experience of collecting bottle openers in paragraph 3 to_. a. tell us that life is dull b. prove that music affects mood c. tell us how to seek happiness d. tell us bad mood can affect work 31. in order to get the greatest effect of music, you are advised to _. a. listen to some of bob marleys b. only choose relaxing music c. test all kinds of music d. listen to classic rock di was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last friday. the advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in richland hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. since i work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time i could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and richland hills is not very good. but if you are lucky you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. last monday, i stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. by the time i saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. so i gave up and went back to the office. the same thing happened on tuesday, and again the next day. on thursday, my luck changed. i got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. when i got there , however, i found a long line of people at the box office. i heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. realising i would not have enough time to wait in line, i caught the next bus and headed back across the town. by friday i realised my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but i felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. the trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. when i got to the theatre, i was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. the reason, however, i quickly discovered, was that they had already sold out all the tickets.32. the man learned _ that there would be a concert last friday.a. from his friends b. from one of his workmatesc. over the radio d. from the newspaper33. he tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _.a. once b. twice c. three times d. four times34. one day the man took _ to get to the theatre by bus.a. forty-five minutes b. fifteen minutes c. just twenty minutes d. over an hour35. the underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by “_”.a. surprised b. pleased c. puzzled d.
