As is true in all cultures, Americans first hear music in the context of family life. Much of that music comes from the records on the family radio or television, and this “canned” music is especially important in developing childrens musical taste. People often say they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were old enough to have their own records or choose the station on the family radio. There is usually some live music in the family as well.

Many mothers and grandmothers sing lullabies (催眠曲), for example. These can be important since in America, as elsewhere, lullabies not only lull a baby to sleep but promise, praise and teach cultural values. Sometimes lullabies are the only songs in a foreign language that American children with strong ethnic (種族的) backgrounds hear, since people often fall back on old, familiar languages for intimate (亲密的) songs.

Another important family context is the automobile, where families learn songs and sing together on weekends and vacations. This is not as surprising as it appears, for the family car has become one of the basic centers of family experience, and it is one of the important places where the families gather for an extended period of time without outside disturbance. The family used to have to choose between making their own music in the car and being force fed by the radio, but the invention of automobile cassette recorders and eight-track playback machines allows a family to have more control over what they hear when they drive.

1. What do the underlined words “‘canned music” in the first paragraph refer to?

A. The music children hear in a car.

B. Recorded music instead of live music.

C. Modern music young people can enjoy.

D. The music passed down from older generations.

2. The music children first hear is important in ___ .

A. learning language

B. developing their mind

C. knowing about cultural values

D. shaping their likes and dislikes in music

3. According to the text, lullabies are usually sung in ___ .

A. American English B. a familiar language

C. an African language D. the parents native language

4. The invention of automobile cassette recorders allow a family ___ .

A. to spend a longer time on vacation in the car

B. to have more choices in the music they hear

C. to enjoy music without being disturbed

D. to have another place to get together

All of Americas popular music—jazz, country, rock and roll, and hip hop—develops from the Delta blues. Its words gave voice to the lives of workers in the fields of the Deep South, who were deeply affected by slavery (奴隸制度). The blues may be concerned with sadness, but singing it is an act of defiance, not despair (绝望). The blues reminds us of our weak points while encouraging us to see how far we can actually go.

We can still almost touch the origin of this art form. Looking back on the journey the blues took north up the Mississippi River—when African Americans left the South in search of new jobs—photographer Gail Mooney traveled from Chicago clubs down to the Delta to get the stories of blues men and blues women. They are still here today to attach us to the musics early days.

“In our conversations, we talked so much more about other things than their music,” says Mooney, whose exhibition on the blues has just begun a US tour this spring. “We talked about their childhoods, their cultural origin, and a time in America when people moved to live in large cities. I would listen, and sometimes I would get a feeling.”

These photos show some of the musicians who worked and studied with blues pioneers—drummer Sam Carr was the son of Robert Nighthawk, while Pinetop Perkins and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith played together with Muddy Waters.

Already, this generation is leaving us: Little Milton, guitarist and vocalist, and Robert “Junior” Lockwood (who learned from Robert Johnson, the greatest blues man of all) have passed away since Mooney began her project. However, they left many valuable things to us. Turn on your radio and some little piece of the Delta gets passed down again.

5. What can we learn about the blues from Paragraph 1?

A. It was created by workers.

B. It aims to express sad feelings.

C. It described the lives of workers.

A

Most students in America like popular music. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to the music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.

Adult drivers listen to the music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about the sports, the weather and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are music.

Popular music singer makes much money. He or she makes a CD which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people will buy his or her CD. Some of the money from these CDs goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes to, most of 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 which tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music.

It may seem strange to say that, but hearing good music played well by a big music group is something that a lot of people no longer experience. Most people are musically illiterate (了解不多的) simply because they have never had any chance to listen to good music. Many people are unfamiliar with the sound of a symphony orchestra. They only hear orchestra music while watching ads and films. But to me a symphony orchestra is the biggest instrument in the world. To hear a full symphony orchestra on stage and to feel the power of the sound—it is like a big wave. It is an amazing experience and it is one that I was lucky enough to grow up with.

My mother was a well-known singer. She had been a member of the Vienna State Opera and the Budapest State Opera and as a baby I was taken along to concerts and stages. I was not necessarily listening to classical music but always good music played well.

My mother was the sixteenth child in her family. She was the youngest and by the time she was born, her oldest sister also had a child with whom she shared a bed. With so many loving families around her, my mother grew up happily to be a cheerful woman.

Because I lost my father when I was very young, I do not remember much about him. What I do know is largely what I have been told by my mother. I am like him in many ways. He was obviously a very serious man, always appearing sad. I seem to have inherited (繼承) something of that from him. Fortunately, I inherited far more of my mothers happiness—a real show business personality (性格).

5. Why does the author think that most people are musically illiterate?

A. They are not interested in music.

B. They dont listen to music very often.

C. They cant tell good music from bad music.

D. They have no chance to listen to well-played music.

6. What does the author think of hearing a symphony orchestra on stage?

D. It can create a similar feeling as watching powerful ads.

7. What can we learn about the author as a baby?

A. He helped his mother a lot.

B. He learned music from his mother.

C. He went to his mothers workplace.

D. He listened to classical music every day.

8. What would the author probably like to be in the future?

Todays trumpet is one of the worlds oldest instruments. It is really the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like its ancestors, there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes (空心管). They are all blown. And they all use the players lips to produce the basic sound.

The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size, shape, material, and method of construction. They wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone, enable the performers to play all the notes of scale, extend the range (音域) higher and lower, make it possible to play more beautiful music, and in general, be easier to play well. The remarkable way in which the modern trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggled to perfect this glorious instrument.

The trumpet is actually the leading member of an entire family of related instruments. There are trumpets of several different sizes, and in several different keys. There are cornets, bugles, flugelhorns, and a number of others that are all similar to the trumpet in the way they are made and played.

The trumpet family is much more than a group of related instruments that can stir one with their sound, or narrow tubes of metal capable of producing a variety of musical sounds. It is a link to many different periods of history and to people of many cultures. From the use of trumpets in ancient religious (宗教的) ceremonies to the part they play in modern rock bands, the trumpet family of instruments has much to tell about civilization and its development.

1. What is needed to make the trumpet work according to Paragraph 1?

A. Air pressure. B. Daily cleaning.

C. Fast moving fingers. D. Longer fingers.

2. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A. How people like trumpets.

B. Who improved trumpets.

C. What makes trumpets wonderful.

D. Why trumpets were able to become perfect.

3. Why does the author believe that the trumpet is particularly important?

A. It can be used in rock bands.

B. It has historical significance.

C. It is a religious instrument.

D. It has a wide range.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A. Science and the Trumpet

B. How the Trumpet Is Made

C. Recordings of the Trumpet

D. The Trumpet and Its Development

Generally speaking, it is good for our health to do sports, such as basketball, football, table tennis, swimming, badminton, and so on.        2        I have taken the swimming course this term, since I didnt know how to swim.

3        It is known to us that some sports are team sports that include several players or even more. When playing with others, people must face the situation of getting along with others. Through the sports games, strangers may get along with others and make friends with each other.        4        If you dont know what to do, doing exercise may be a good idea because you can share the time and the fun with your friends.

5        Yes, thats right. But there are more advantages of sports than its disadvantages. We should follow the lead of sports athletes, as sports plays an important role in our life. Plenty of physical exercise will help you keep fit.

Once a man asked a painter to paint a picture to him. He told the artist he didnt want any shadows in the picture, just sunshine, but the artist did so. When the man saw the finishing picture, he was disappointed. Without shadows, everything in the picture looks flat and unreal. The point of the story is that we need both shadows and sunshine to have a completely picture, just as we need both rain and sun to have living world. People, too, needs both sadness and happiness. We often learn important lesson during sad times. So when we will feel sad, we should try to stop and think about that we might learn from the experience.

Music Hobbies of American People

美国人的音乐爱好

James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, “The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music.” If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans—even those without a musical bone in their bodies—have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were “made in the USA”.

一位早期的美国作家詹姆斯·费尼莫尔·库珀曾说:“美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。”如果那曾经是事实,如今你绝不会这么认为了。大部分的美国人甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人,都有自己喜爱的音乐类型。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐,然而美国其他的流行音乐则是“美国制造”的。

Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and lifes hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins (also known as fiddles) give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee—Music City USA. Country music even has its own theme park called “Opryland” where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. “The Grand Ole Opry”, the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

乡村和西部音乐深受很多美国人的喜爱。这种类型的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村民众。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳什维尔市——美国的音乐城市。乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——奥普赖乐园!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目《乡村大剧院》每个周末都会实况播放奥普赖乐园的音乐。

Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as “The Jazz Era”. This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the “big band” sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like “Rhapsody in Blue”.

爵士乐是19世纪末期由非洲裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。爵士音乐家不仅演奏旋律,还用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的巅峰期出现于20世纪20年代,该时期被称为“爵士时代”。这个时期诞生的音乐家有路易斯·阿姆斯特朗、班尼·古德曼和艾灵顿公爵。这些音乐家稍后都创造了20世纪30年代的“大乐团”之音。不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格,比如新奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和堪萨斯城。作曲家乔治·格什温更以像《蓝色狂想曲》这样的作品,将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界。
