students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance，the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.music is nice，people seem to say，but not important.too often it is viewed as mere entertainment，but certainly not an education priority(优先)this view is shortsighted.in fact，music education is beneficial and important for all students.music tells us who we are.because music is an expression of the human beings who create it，it reflects their thinking and values，as well as the social environment it came from.rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a schubert song.the jazz influence that george gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously american because it came from american musical traditions.music expresses our characters and values.it gives us identity as a society.music provides a kind of perception(感知) that can not be acquired any other way.science can explain how the sun rises and sets.the arts explore the emotive(情感的) meaning of the same phenomenon.we need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason：no one way can get it all.the arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols.they are ways we human beings “talk” to each other.they are the language of civilization through which we express our fears，our curiosities，our hungers，our discoveries and our hopes.the arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others.when we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music，we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human.the arts do.music is an important way we express human suffering，celebration，the meaning and value of peace and love.so music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.1according to paragraph 1，students _.aregard music as a way of entertainmentbdisagree with their parents on educationcview music as an overlooked subjectdprefer the arts to science2in paragraph 2，the author uses jazz as an example to _.acompare it with rock musicbshow music identifies a societycintroduce american musical traditionsdprove music influences peoples lifestyles3according to the passage，the arts and science _.aapproach the world from different anglesbexplore different phenomena of the worldcexpress peoples feelings in different waysdexplain what it means to be human differently4what is the main idea of the passage?amusic education deserves more attention.bmusic should be of top education priority.cmusic is an effective communication tool.dmusic education makes students more imaginative.wherever the beatles went，there was a phenomenon called beatlemania thousands of fans would surround them，screaming and going crazy trying to see them.不管“披头士”到哪里，都会有成千上万的歌迷们围着他们，尖叫着、疯了一样地试着看到他们，这种现象当时被称为“披头士狂热”。wherever引导让步状语从句，相当于no matter where；screaming and going crazy.为现在分词作伴随状语。1wherever/no matter where he goes，ill go，and i dont care about what happens.不管会发生什么事，他去哪里，我就去哪里。2lots of rescue workers were working around the clock，sending supplies to yushu，qinghai province after the earthquake.许多救援人员在夜以继日地工作，向地震后的青海省玉树送去生活用品。 period

up.1.(1)refused(2)declined(3)rejected(4)declined这三个词都含“拒绝”的意思，但具体用法不同。(1)decline指较正式地、有礼貌地谢绝。(2)refuse是普通用语，指坚决、果断或坦率地拒绝。(3)reject指以否定、敌对的态度当面拒绝或因为不令人满意、有缺陷或无用而抛弃，它暗示无条件的拒绝。2(1)broke down(2)break down(3)broke up(1)break up常常表示以下意义：散(会)，驱散(群众等)；(中小学)学期结束，停课放假；分开，拆散；(使)极其痛苦，身体衰弱；击碎，撞毁，割碎。(2)break down常常表示以下意义：(机器、车辆)坏了；(计划、谈判等)失败，坚持不下去了；(身体)垮了；(谈话、通讯等)中断；分解，分化。.1.btake the place of与in place of都意为“代替”，两个短语均不与with搭配；take place发生；replace sth.with sth.用某物来替换某物，根据句意“旧轮胎爆了”，所以用一个新的“替换”，故b项正确。2a句意为：她设法使他平静下来，然后向一位邻居求助。seek寻找，符合句意。search作“寻找”讲时，为不及物动词，后面须跟介词for；look for寻找，时态不对；ask for征求，请求，故选a项。3a考查动词短语辨析。break up结束、断绝关系；finish up结果成为；最终来到；divide up分担，分配，分享；close up(伤口)愈合。根据句意a项正确。4ahold up延迟；阻碍，符合句意。hold on等着；停住；坚持住；别挂断，等一下；hold off作“不
