Unit 9单元练习 一、阅读理解 阅读下面三篇语言材料，然后按文后要求做题 A ①“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher (哲学家) Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets (预算). ②For example, Chicago public schools fired (解雇) over 1,000 teachers. And among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught 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 the ones like science, Maths and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. ③However, learning music is beneficial in many ways. ④When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks. 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. ⑤Music has a special connection with science as well.
