8 / 8 UNIT 2 课时跟踪检测(四) 重点题型强化练 　Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Music is often thought of as “easy” or “play time”， but it's not that at all.Music plays a very important part in our education. Students who learn music learn a lot of music history at school.This includes “modes (调式)”， which were used in churches during the development of music.They are still used today.Students learn about the historical events that were taking place when the music they play was written.They learn what the music was used for.So much of our culture is in music and has been for centuries. Music also helps with science.Students use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn't.Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”， which is about how music is produced by vibration (颤动) and why. Students learn a lot about languages.Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones.Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about.Some songs are famous poems or short works set to music. Students learn a huge amount of coordination (协调) through music, so parts of the body can work better together.Students must use fine motor skills in order to play an instrument.Singers and players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play. Students learn about art.Some famous pieces were written about important works of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music. Music education also brings higher thinking to our children.It allows them to think about complex patterns (How can I make my part sound better？How do this music and these different parts fit together？).Students have to know absolutely what every other musician does at all times.In that way, it develops teamwork. As one can see, music is very important to education besides bringing us fun. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了音乐除了能给我们带来乐趣外，对各门学科学习也有帮助。 1．Learning music is helpful to the following subjects EXCEPT ________． A．scienc
