Unit 5 MusicI. 閱讀理解閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。Passage 1體裁話題詞數(shù)難度建議時間記敘文UNESCO定國際爵士日來保護挽救爵士樂3527分鐘 (2017新課標全國卷I) Some of the worlds most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(聯(lián)合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.Its Jason Morans job to help change that. As the Kennedy Centers artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.Jazz seems like its not really a part of the American appetite, Moran tells National Public Radios reporter Neal Conan. What Im hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. Its actually color, and its actually digital.Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. The music cant be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same, says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Wallers music for a dance party, just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music, says Moran. For me, its the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context, says Moran, so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.28. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?A. To remember the birth of jazz.B. To protect cultural diversity.C. To encourage people to study music.D. To recognize the value of jazz.29. What does the underlined word that in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Jazz becoming more accessible.B. The production of jazz growing faster.C. Jazz being less popular with the young.D. The jazz audience becoming larger. 30. What can we infer about Morans opinion on jazz?A. It will disappear gradually.B. It remains black and white.C. It should keep up with the times.D. It changes every 50 years.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Exploring the Future of JazzB. The Rise and Fall of JazzC. The Story of a Jazz MusicianD. Celebrating the Jazz Day【答案】【語篇解讀】為提高人們對于爵士樂的重視程度，UNESCO把4月30日定為國際爵士日，然而這一行為還是沒能挽救爵士樂。Jason Moran認為時代在進步，為了將老一代人和年輕一代人連接起來，爵士樂也應(yīng)該不斷進步。29. C 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)前文Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations可知盡管UNESCO為爵士樂設(shè)了紀念日，但美國的爵士樂聽眾依然在減少，并且年齡在老化，爵士樂沒能將年輕一代人連接起來。再結(jié)合Its Jason Morans job to help change that(是Jason Moran的工作是幫助改變那一情況)可推測that指代的是前文中爵士樂在年輕一代人中失去吸引力的現(xiàn)象。故選C。31. A 【解析】標題選擇題。通讀全文可知本文主要講UNESCO為提高人們對爵士樂的重視而設(shè)立爵士日，但實際收效甚微。有人認為爵士樂應(yīng)隨著時代的進步而進步，否則它將失去對人們的吸引力，因此本文主要是探索爵士樂的未來，故選A。Passage 2體裁話題詞數(shù)難度建議時間廣告與音樂有關(guān)的活動1944分鐘(2016新課標全國卷III)MusicOpera at Music Hall：1243 Elm Street.

A recital 36 I had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers. Each year I _37_ ask my father if I could skip the recital just this once.

He could have gone on regretting it, 44 too many of us do. But though he was rooted in his past, he wasnt 45 there.

C 上一句提到作者對每年一次的鋼琴獨奏會感到非?？謶郑纱丝芍@意味著作者不得不練習一支枯燥的曲子并且在陌生人面前表演。37. A 根據(jù)本段第一句中的內(nèi)容可知作者每年總是會問自己的父親能否不參加鋼琴獨奏會，僅此一次，下不為例。38. D 作者的父親每年都會搖頭，嘀咕建立自信之類的東西。此處表示的是肯定含義，something意為某物，某東西。39. A 根據(jù)本句中的building self-confidence可知作者的父親鼓勵作者要朝著一個目標奮斗。40. B 文章第一段提到作者非常害怕鋼琴獨奏會，總是想著逃避，但從未幸免，而父親嘀咕的千篇一律的內(nèi)容讓作者頗為不滿。如今，作者的父親參加鋼琴獨奏會，作者自然幸災樂禍，十分滿足，更何況手中還有錄像機。41. C 作者此時一心一意地想看父親出洋相，自然會注意他的一舉一動，發(fā)現(xiàn)年近古稀的父親穿著襯衣還在出汗。42. D 根據(jù)第47空前面的For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard可知，作者的父親此時還沒有開始演奏，所以他出汗是站起身來之前的表現(xiàn)。43. B 根據(jù)本句后半句中的內(nèi)容可知他的家庭非常貧困，不能負擔得起鋼琴課的費用。44. A 他本可以繼續(xù)為此遺憾，正如我們中太多的人所做的那樣。45. C 根據(jù)下一句中的內(nèi)容可知雖然過去不可改變，但是他并沒有止步不前。此處stick表示卡住，陷入。46. D 42空后面提到他將要在首次的獨奏會中彈奏鋼琴，由此可知他退休后說服了對方收他為學生。47. B 根據(jù)下文中作者的擔心可知作者的父親只是盯著自己的手指，而不是像作者一樣同時還要考慮其他的事情。48. C 作者的父親馬上就要開始演奏，可他關(guān)注的是自己的手指，作者擔心他是否忘記了音符。49. A 根據(jù)第54空后面的I said to my son Jeff可知作者如今已經(jīng)是成年人，由此可知那個尷尬的時刻發(fā)生在幾十年前。此外，文章最后一段中的those 30-plus years ago也是線索提示。50. B 當時，有幾秒鐘作者的大腦一片空白，由此可知作者的手指僵住了，不知如何是好。52. B 根據(jù)空格處后面的內(nèi)容可知作者意識到他的父親一直在做音樂老師總是強調(diào)的內(nèi)容。53. D 根據(jù)pretend the others arent there可知要把精力集中在音樂上，旁若無人。54. D 根據(jù)第50空后面的But then came the beautiful melody (旋律)可知作者父親的表演很成功，所以作者為他感到驕傲。55. C 作者的父親彈奏出了優(yōu)美的旋律，作者感到非常自豪，再結(jié)合本句中的Yeah可知作者的兒子也深有同感，認為演奏得很好。III. 任務(wù)型讀寫體裁話題詞數(shù)難度建議時間議論文文古典音樂32017分鐘(2014安徽)Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today. However, this issue (問題) frequently causes heated debate.Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people. For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty.Others say it is more popular than we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realising. It is often used in films and advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it.Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(說唱) music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you dont need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.A final point to in mind is that the term classical music is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦樂隊).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise!TitleClassical MusicIntroductionThe issue of whether classical music is (76) _ to young people causes heated debate.OpinionsEvidence Classical music is associated only with old peonl.

Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students academic growth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.Music programs in public schools also help to add to a students sense of pride and selfconfidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, selfconfidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about drugs and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries (界限). Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally (口頭上) , they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with selfconfidence and common purpose through music.The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.5. Education with music c
