While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.56. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children theyre talking to_.Aattend a stage schoolBare going to the theatreChave got some work to doDlove singing and dancing57. In the writers opinion, a good stage school should_.Aproduce star performersBhelp pupils improve their study skillsCtrain pupils in language and performing artsDprovide a general education and stage training58“Professional work” as used in the text means _.Aordinary school workBmoneymaking performancesCstage training at schoolDacting, singing or dancing after class59Which of the following statements best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.BHe favours an early start in the training of performing arts.CHe feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.DHe doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached. BBorn near Dublin in 1882，James Joyce was the eldest of the 10 surviving children of John and Mary Jane Joyce.His family slid into near poverty in the process of his growth.James entire education came at the hands of the Jesuits，who did a better job with him than they may have intended.By the time the young Joyce graduated from University College，Dublin，in 1902，he had decided literature would be his worthy job and his attempt to be famous.Late in 1904 Joyce departed Ireland with nearly all the narratives(叙述，故事) he would ever write already stored in his memory.What remained for him to do was transform them into an art that could measure up to his own expectations.He began writing Ulysses in 1914 and had it brought out on his 40th birthday.It was his most complete attempt yet to tell the difference between literature and life.First of all，Joyce gave up most of the narrative techniques found in 19th century fiction(小说)Ulysses has no clear plot(情节)，no series of obstacles(阻碍) that a hero or heroine must overcome on the way to happy ending.The book offers no allknowing narrator to guide the readerdescribe the characters and settings，provide background information，summarize events and explain，from time to time，the storys moral significance. A first reading of Ulysses can thus be baffling and confusing experience.Ulysses made Joyce famous.It became a source book for 20th century literature.It also expanded the domain of permissible subjects in fiction.60Based on the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE?AJames Joyces mother gave birth to no more than 10 children.BThough poor，James Joyces parents managed to pay for his schooling.CJames Joyces achievements came up to the expectations of the Jesuits.DWhen graduating from college，James Joyce was certain what career lay ahead of him.61How many years passed from Joyces beginning writing Ulysses to the publication of the book?A10. B8. C6. D4.62. What makes Ulysses a great piece of work?AOne can find in the book almost all the narrative skills in 19th century fiction.BIt makes it possible for more subjects to be covered in writing fiction.CThe idea that literature is one thing and life is another can strongly be sensed in this novel.DIts moral significance is well stated with the development of the plot.CToday，roller skating is easy and fun.But a long time ago，it wasnt easy at all.Before 1750，the idea of skating didnt exist.That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin.Merlins work was making musical instruments.In his spare time he liked to play the violin.Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams.People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball(化装舞会)He was very pleased and a little excited.As the day of the party came near，Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party.He had an idea.He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll.Finally，he decided to put two wheels under each shoe.These were the first roller skates.Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin.Everyone was astonished to see him.There was just one problem，Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates.He rolled on and on.Suddenly，he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall.Down fell the mirror，breaking into pieces.Nobody forgot Merlins grand entrance for a long time!63The text is mainly about _.Aa strange manBan unusual partyChow roller skating beganDhow people enjoyed themselves in the 18th century64People thought Merlin was a dreamer because he _.Aoften gave others surprisesBwas a gifted musicianCinvented the roller skatesDwas full of imagination65Merlin put wheels under his shoes in order to _.Aimpress the party guestsBarrive at the party soonerCtest his inventionDshow his skill in walking on wheels66What is the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?AThe roller skates needed further improvement.BThe party guests took Merlin for a fool.CMerlin succeeded beyond expectation.DMerlin rolled into the ball successfully.DMusic is an international languageThe songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.Popular music in America is what every student likes.Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class，after class，and at lunch.Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work.They also listen to the news about sports，the weather，politics，and activities of the American people.Most of the radio broadcast is music.Pop or popular music singers make much money.They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state.Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country，young people buy his or her tapes.Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer.Wherever the singer goes，all the young people want to meet him or her.Now the singer has become a national star.There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans.One is called folk music.It tells stories about the common life of Americans.Another is called western or country music.This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching.Today，any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girlfriend is called western or country music.Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music.Music for instruments is called orchestra music，such as the symphonies(交响乐) of Beethoven.There is opera for singers.There is ballet(芭蕾舞剧) for dancers like the story of Liang shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.67In what sense can music be regarded as an international language?APopular music is what everyone enjoys.BThe songs that are sung or played by instruments are so beautiful and understandable that everyone can enjoy them all over the world.CWhen music is played，it seems as if it were speaking to us.DMusic is so popular throughout the world that everyone can play it.68What can we know about music and people in America?AStudents drivers carry small radios with earphones when they drive on the streets.BStudents always listen to music before class，in class and after class.CAdult drivers listen to news as well as music when they drive to work.DAdult drivers never listen to music when they drive to work.69How many kinds of music are mentioned in the passage?ASix.
