They painted pictures inside caves, and these are the rock paintings that have given us so much information about Aboriginal life. For example, some of the paintings that are about 10,000 years old show men with boomerangs. From this we know that the Aborigines started using boomerangs for hunting at that time. Other pictures show kangaroos, so we know that there were kangaroos at that time.The Aborigines believed that spirits made people, animals and plants, and that these spirits still live in the earth. For Aborigines, no one can own the earththe earth belongs to the spirits.In 1700, there were many Aboriginal groups with a population of 750,000 all over Australia, and there were probably more than 240 different Aboriginal languages. The groups did not have a leader. Instead, things were decided by the older men in a group. People from different groups often travelled hundreds of miles to meet each other.Aboriginal life changed when an English boat arrived in Australia in 1770. Many Aborigines were killed in the wars that they had with the English. More Europeans came, and they started taking land from the Aborigines. The Europeans also brought new illnesses that killed the Aborigines. The result is that today there are only about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia.（1）The Aborigines painted pictures .A . on animals furB . on the landC . on the treeD . on the rock（2）What do you think the Aborigines used boomerangs to do?A .

Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired(解雇)over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. Thats partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isnt tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.However, learning music is beneficial(有益的)in many ways.When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码)them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.（1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because _. A . students in the US werent interested in musicB . they were too difficult to learnC . there werent enough music teachers in the USD . the schools wanted to control budgets（2）In Paragraph 2,what does the underlined word“them” refer to(指代)? A . Public schools.B . Fired teachers.C . Parents in Chicago.D . Students in Chicago.（3）Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4? A . Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.B . Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.C . Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.D . Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.（4）How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? A . One.B . Two.C . Three.D . Four.（5）Whats the writers opinion according to this passage? A . Music is as simple as it looks.B . Music classes
