Anyone who works in film can tell you that a lot of work goes on behind the scenes. It leaves many movie fans wondering: How are movies made? 电影是如何制作的？ 制作电影的过程早在摄像机开始转动之前就开始了。任何从事电影工作的人都可以告诉你，幕后有很多工作在进行。这让许多影迷想知道：电影是怎么制作的？ All movies start as just an idea. Many writers, actors, and directors carry notebooks to write down ideas that come to them during the day. The best ideas grow in their minds until they’re big enough to become a film. 所有的电影都只是一个想法。许多作家、演员和导演都带着笔记本来记录他们白天想到的想法。最好的想法在他们的脑海中生长，直到它们大到足以成为电影。 Once an idea has had some time to grow, the next step is to write a script . It breaks up the story into scenes and lays out the action and dialogue for the characters in the story. It is written long before filming starts and guides everyone who works on the movie. 一旦一个想法有了一些时间来发展，下一步就是编写脚本。它将故事分解成多个场景，并为故事中的人物布置动作和对话。它早在拍摄开始之前就写好了，并指导着电影的每个人。 In most cases, the next step is to make a storyboard . It helps writers and directors decide what the movie will look like. Many people draw storyboards by hand. 在大多数情况下，下一步是制作 Storyboard 。它帮助编剧和导演决定电影会是什么样子。许多人手绘情节串连图板。 Is it time to film yet? Not quite! It takes many people to make a movie. Before filming, moviemakers must find the right people to make a movie. And for big movies, they might need hundreds or even thousands of people. 是时候拍摄了吗？差一点！制作一部电影需要很多人。在拍摄之前，电影制作人必须找到合适的人来制作电影。对于大电影，他们可能需要数百甚至数千人。 After everything is in place, it’s time to get the cameras rolling. Everyone involved in the film travels to the chosen location. There, they shoot each scene until they get it just right. 一切就绪后，是时候启动摄像机了。参与电影的每个人都前往选定的地点。在那里，他们拍摄每个场景，直到他们得到恰到好处。 After filming, the job continues. Editors put different footage together and then add music and anything else needed to complete the film. When they’re done, the movie is finally ready for the big screen. 拍摄结束后，工作继续进行。剪辑师将不同的素材放在一起，然后添加音乐和完成电影所需的任何其他内容。当他们完成后，这部电影终于准备好搬上大银幕了。 All in all, shooting a film often takes between six and eight months. Filmmaking is a long and difficult process, but it is also full of fun. Do you want to have a try? 总而言之，拍摄一部电影通常需要 6 到 8 个月。电影制作是一个漫长而艰难的过程，但也充满了乐趣。您想尝试一下吗？ 文章生词短语 · process vt. 处理；加工 n. 过程，进行；方法，步骤；作用；程序；推移 · started rolling 开始启动 · behind the scenes 秘密地；在幕后 ；荧屏之后 · wonder vt. & vi. 对…感到疑惑 想知道；问自己 n. 惊奇，惊叹，惊异，惊诧 · director n. 主管, 董事 负责人, 主任, 校长 导演 · write down 写下, 记下 视为 贬低(地位、重要性等) · write a script 写脚本 · break up 拆开；打散 · by hand手工 · in place在正确位置；准备妥当 · lay out 设计，安排，陈列，花费，拟定 · make a storyboard 制作剧情梗概系列图片 · storyboards . n.

In fact, the term “popular music” can be used for all kinds of music that is written to be popular. 流行音乐 当我们想到流行音乐时，我们首先想到的是迪斯科、乡村和摇滚。事实上，“流行音乐”一词可以用于各种被写成流行的音乐。 The revolution in popular music came in the 20th century. As serious concert music grew more difficult to understand, it grew less able to fill the needs of the mass market for music. However, popular music met that need. What's more, powerful new technologies were developed, one after the other, to help the spread of music to the masses: the radio, movies, and finally, the television. It is no wonder that, over the past century, popular music has grown to an amazing degree. Today popular music, also called pop music, enjoys the widest audience in the world.    流行音乐的革命发生在 20 世纪。随着严肃的音乐会音乐变得越来越难以理解，它越来越无法满足大众市场对音乐的需求。然而，流行音乐满足了这一需求。更重要的是，强大的新技术一个接一个地被开发出来，以帮助音乐传播到大众：收音机、电影，最后是电视。难怪在过去的一个世纪里，流行音乐已经发展到惊人的程度。今天，流行音乐，也称为流行音乐，在世界上享有最广泛的观众。 The Beatles, one of the most popular successful pop groups in history, did a lot to influence the pop music world. They were four young men from Liverpool, England. Early Beatles' songs were written in traditional forms. Their lyrics gradually became much softer, like the song Yesterday. Under their influence rock and roll became more commonly known as rock music. During the mid-1980s, the music industry had quick development. In 1982, Michael Jackson's Thriller album became the biggest-selling record in history. 披头士乐队是历史上最受欢迎的成功流行乐队之一，对流行音乐界产生了很大影响。他们是来自英国利物浦的四个年轻人。早期披头士乐队的歌曲是以传统形式创作的。他们的歌词逐渐变得柔和了很多，就像歌曲 Yesterday 一样。在他们的影响下，摇滚乐更广为人知的是摇滚乐。在 1980 年代中期，音乐产业发展迅速。1982 年，迈克尔杰克逊的 Thriller 专辑成为历史上最畅销的唱片。 Although there have been great changes in the technology used to produce popular music over the past few years, some parts of it remain unchanged. It continues to be one of the favorite musical forms loved by young people all over the world. 尽管过去几年用于制作流行音乐的技术发生了巨大变化，但其某些部分保持不变。它仍然是全世界年轻人最喜欢的音乐形式之一。 文章生词短语 · be used for 被用于… · all kinds of 各种各样的 · revolution n. 革命 彻底改变，重大变革 旋转；运行，公转 · concert n. 音乐会；和谐；一致 vt. 使协调；协同安排 vi. 协力；adj. 音乐会用的 · fill the needs of 满足… 的需求 · mass market 大众市场 · what's more 而且；更重要的是；另外 · one after the other 一个接一个地：依次地，一个接一个地进行或发生。 · spread vi. 传播；伸展 vt. 传播，散布；伸展；铺开 n. 传播；伸展 adj. 伸展的 · It is no wonder that 不足为奇；难怪；难怪呢 · has grown to an amazing degree 已经发展到惊人的程度 · enjoy the widest audience 被广大观众喜爱 · influence n. 影响；感化力 势力，权势 vt. 影响，感化 · traditional adj. 传统的, 惯例的 口传的,传说的 传统爵士乐的 · became more commonly known as 更广为人知的是 · album 唱片集 · remain v. 仍然是；保持不变 剩余；遗留；继续存在n. 残余（物），剩余；遗迹 · unchanged adj. 未改变的;无变化的 时文阅读 01—中国葫芦丝飘洋过海 David Stringer is a star in the Chinese community in New Zealand's South Island because he plays traditional Chinese musical instrument hulusi so well.

Now his room is filled with hundreds of CDs and he uses songs to communicate and express his feelings. He knows all the words to all of the songs.

She said music allowed her son to connect with another person for the first time. "He doesn't normally let people touch him. When Lottee first held his hand, he jumped a little bit, and then he seemed to think and said, 'It's okay.'" "That was the most important," Caroline said. "I hope they can continue to sing together.

Jazz was a truly American creation (创造) some even say that it is the only truly American art form. Even though jazz seemed brand new (崭新的) in the 1920s, it had actually been developing over many years. In the early 1900s, African-American blues along with music from other traditions combined (结合) with a New Orleans style of band music was played for processions (游行) . The result of that combination was a brand new sound—jazz. Jazz is seen by many as "America's classical music". Since the 1920s Jazz Age, jazz has become a major form of musical expression. New Orleans was home to some of the original Jazz masters. Louis Armstrong, the famous jazz trumpet (小号) player; Jelly Roll Morton, the famous pianist; and Joe "King" Oliver, the famous cornet (短号) player, all called New Orleans home. Louis Armstrong was popular for his trumpet and cornet playing and for his famous gravelly (沙哑的) singing voice. In the 1920s, he played in "King" Oliver's Creole Jazz Band. Jelly Roll Morton was a great jazz composer (作曲家) , as well as a piano player. （1）Why do some people say that jazz is the only truly American art form?

He has grey hair and a grey beard (胡须). She doesn't know who the person is. The man says he is her father. She closes the door in front of the man. She stays at the door and thinks. She has a father. But he is dead. She doesn't know the man at the door. She doesn't understand why he says he is her father. She wants to call the police. Just then she can see a photo under the door.

It's a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America, I like it very much! It will take me away for a while after I am tired. The guitars and songs will take me to mountains and fields. Country music usually talks of everyday life and feelings. It's like the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple. Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops or death. The life in the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records. When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for jobs, they took their music with them.

D．John Denver. Passage E Like many others around the world at the start of the year, I made a New Year's resolution. I decided to try something different from the usual ones: to do more exercise, eat more vegetables, etc. So, after getting lost in lots of videos one day, I developed an interest in beatboxing. Beatboxing is making drum sounds just by using your mouth and voice. The idea of making sounds with our mouths can date back to traditional African music where singers often created percussion(打击乐器)with their bodies. However, it was on the streets of Harlem where the word beatbox (or two words: beat box)was firstly invented. Beatbox was a slang(俚语)term for drum machines being produced around the time. Drum machines made drum sounds without actually needing a drum kit(架子鼓). Drum machines were very expensive, especially for those rapping in poorer communities on the streets of New York. Therefore, MCs(rappers)would often rap with someone else beatboxing to provide a beat. Beatboxing grew into a known and respected art form throughout the 1980sand 1990s. Nowadays, beatboxers get millions of views on the Internet and people watch them on talent show programs. The Beatbox Battle World Championships first took place in Germany in 2005 and takes place every three years. In August, 2018, it took place in Berlin. Around 180 artists battled against each other in several different categories(类别)to find the best beatboxer! There are many good online courses on how to beatbox. That's how I'm learning for my New Year's resolution! And of course there's the old trick of saying "boots and cats" very quickly to create a beat. Go on! Give it a go. 1．What is beatboxing? . 2．What does Paragraph 2 talk about? . 3．What does the underlined sentence mean? . Passage F How important is music? Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important. It is often only thought to be entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is wrong. 　1． 　 　2． 　Music reflects the musicians' thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from. For example, just as Mozart's music represents a lifestyle and rock music also represents a lifestyle. George Gershwin's music is another example. He introduced jazz style into his music. 　3． 　Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores emotional (情绪) meanings, such as sadness and happiness. People need every possible way to learn about our world. 　4． 　It's a special language. We can "talk" to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way. Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. All of these can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meaning that music expresses. Our children are lacking in a wonderful part in their lives. 　5． 　 A. Music shows people's thoughts. B. So music education is necessary for all students. C. Music tells us who we are. D. In fact，music education is much more necessary than people usually think. E. Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Passage H Music is the medicine of the broken heart. Music plays 　1． 　 important part in my daily life. I can't remember when I 　2． 　（fall）in love with music. Maybe it happened when I was feeling blue sometime long ago. I can't tell you 　3． 　（exact）how music makes me feel better. But while listening to music, especially light music, it makes me feel calm and 　4． 　（peace）. Now I am listening to a song　5． 　（name）Moon River. It is really a fantastic song. I didn't like this song at the 　6． 　（begin）, but later I found its slow melody and beautiful lyrics deeply touching. "Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker. Wherever you're going, I'm going your way. Two drifters（流浪者）, off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see. " Yes. Although there is a long way to go for the drifters and maybe there are many troubles ahead, he seems afraid 　7． 　 nothing. I like music. Music reminds me that human beings have a lot in common even 　8． 　 they come from different countries or backgrounds, because we all have the same feeling or understanding of melodies and words. Passage I 假如你是刘健，你很喜欢音乐，你的美国笔友Susan和你有相同的爱好，她想了解你的具体情况。请根据电子邮件内容回复她。 Dear Liu Jian, How are you doing? I'm glad you also like music. Can you tell me why you like music?

In fact, the term “popular music” can be used for all kinds of music that is written to be popular. 流行音乐 当我们想到流行音乐时，我们首先想到的是迪斯科、乡村和摇滚。事实上，“流行音乐”一词可以用于各种被写成流行的音乐。 The revolution in popular music came in the 20th century. As serious concert music grew more difficult to understand, it grew less able to fill the needs of the mass market for music. However, popular music met that need. What's more, powerful new technologies were developed, one after the other, to help the spread of music to the masses: the radio, movies, and finally, the television. It is no wonder that, over the past century, popular music has grown to an amazing degree. Today popular music, also called pop music, enjoys the widest audience in the world.    流行音乐的革命发生在 20 世纪。随着严肃的音乐会音乐变得越来越难以理解，它越来越无法满足大众市场对音乐的需求。然而，流行音乐满足了这一需求。更重要的是，强大的新技术一个接一个地被开发出来，以帮助音乐传播到大众：收音机、电影，最后是电视。难怪在过去的一个世纪里，流行音乐已经发展到惊人的程度。今天，流行音乐，也称为流行音乐，在世界上享有最广泛的观众。 The Beatles, one of the most popular successful pop groups in history, did a lot to influence the pop music world. They were four young men from Liverpool, England. Early Beatles' songs were written in traditional forms. Their lyrics gradually became much softer, like the song Yesterday. Under their influence rock and roll became more commonly known as rock music. During the mid-1980s, the music industry had quick development. In 1982, Michael Jackson's Thriller album became the biggest-selling record in history. 披头士乐队是历史上最受欢迎的成功流行乐队之一，对流行音乐界产生了很大影响。他们是来自英国利物浦的四个年轻人。早期披头士乐队的歌曲是以传统形式创作的。他们的歌词逐渐变得柔和了很多，就像歌曲 Yesterday 一样。在他们的影响下，摇滚乐更广为人知的是摇滚乐。在 1980 年代中期，音乐产业发展迅速。1982 年，迈克尔杰克逊的 Thriller 专辑成为历史上最畅销的唱片。 Although there have been great changes in the technology used to produce popular music over the past few years, some parts of it remain unchanged. It continues to be one of the favorite musical forms loved by young people all over the world. 尽管过去几年用于制作流行音乐的技术发生了巨大变化，但其某些部分保持不变。它仍然是全世界年轻人最喜欢的音乐形式之一。 文章生词短语 · be used for 被用于… · all kinds of 各种各样的 · revolution n. 革命 彻底改变，重大变革 旋转；运行，公转 · concert n. 音乐会；和谐；一致 vt. 使协调；协同安排 vi. 协力；adj. 音乐会用的 · fill the needs of 满足… 的需求 · mass market 大众市场 · what's more 而且；更重要的是；另外 · one after the other 一个接一个地：依次地，一个接一个地进行或发生。 · spread vi. 传播；伸展 vt. 传播，散布；伸展；铺开 n. 传播；伸展 adj. 伸展的 · It is no wonder that 不足为奇；难怪；难怪呢 · has grown to an amazing degree 已经发展到惊人的程度 · enjoy the widest audience 被广大观众喜爱 · influence n. 影响；感化力 势力，权势 vt. 影响，感化 · traditional adj. 传统的, 惯例的 口传的,传说的 传统爵士乐的 · became more commonly known as 更广为人知的是 · album 唱片集 · remain v. 仍然是；保持不变 剩余；遗留；继续存在n. 残余（物），剩余；遗迹 · unchanged adj. 未改变的;无变化的 时文阅读 01—中国葫芦丝飘洋过海 David Stringer is a star in the Chinese community in New Zealand's South Island because he plays traditional Chinese musical instrument hulusi so well.

D 推理判断题。通读最后一段并结合本段中的“I feel lucky to make friends...together”可知，本段介绍了Stringer对于加入葫芦丝俱乐部的感受，并未提及A、B、C项涉及的内容。 5.B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，Stringer首次见到中国传统乐器葫芦丝时就对它感到好奇,于是跟着朋友学习了演奏技巧，并在葫芦丝俱乐部和朋友们一起演奏葫芦丝。由此可知，B项“Stringer爱上中国葫芦丝”可作为本文主旨。 时文阅读 02—艺术家用冰演奏音乐 Do you play an instrument?

Compared with others, jazz is much younger. Americans loved it, and soon, so did people all over the world. Jazz was a truly American creation (创造) some even say that it is the only truly American art form. Even though jazz seemed brand new (崭新的) in the 1920s, it had actually been developing over many years. In the early 1900s, African-American blues along with music from other traditions combined (结合) with a New Orleans style of band music was played for processions (游行) . The result of that combination was a brand new sound—jazz. Jazz is seen by many as "America's classical music". Since the 1920s Jazz Age, jazz has become a major form of musical expression. New Orleans was home to some of the original Jazz masters. Louis Armstrong, the famous jazz trumpet (小号) player; Jelly Roll Morton, the famous pianist; and Joe "King" Oliver, the famous cornet (短号) player, all called New Orleans home. Louis Armstrong was popular for his trumpet and cornet playing and for his famous gravelly (沙哑的) singing voice. In the 1920s, he played in "King" Oliver's Creole Jazz Band. Jelly Roll Morton was a great jazz composer (作曲家) , as well as a piano player. （1）Why do some people say that jazz is the only truly American art form?

A．Because they could play the most beautiful jazz music. B．Because they spread jazz music to all over the world. C．Because they were very popular in America. D．Because they were the most typical persons of jazz. （5）What's the best title for the passage? A．Jazz—all American music B．Jazz—the most popular music C．Great jazz musicians D．How jazz came into being 【答案】（1）B （2）A （3）C （4）D （5）A 【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要介绍了爵士乐和一些爵士乐演奏者。 （1）细节理解题。根据文中第一段 Compared with others, jazz is much younger. Americans loved it, and soon, so did people all over the world.

I decided to try something different from the usual ones: to do more exercise, eat more vegetables, etc. So, after getting lost in lots of videos one day, I developed an interest in beatboxing. Beatboxing is making drum sounds just by using your mouth and voice. The idea of making sounds with our mouths can date back to traditional African music where singers often created percussion(打击乐器)with their bodies. However, it was on the streets of Harlem where the word beatbox (or two words: beat box)was firstly invented. Beatbox was a slang(俚语)term for drum machines being produced around the time. Drum machines made drum sounds without actually needing a drum kit(架子鼓). Drum machines were very expensive, especially for those rapping in poorer communities on the streets of New York. Therefore, MCs(rappers)would often rap with someone else beatboxing to provide a beat. Beatboxing grew into a known and respected art form throughout the 1980sand 1990s. Nowadays, beatboxers get millions of views on the Internet and people watch them on talent show programs. The Beatbox Battle World Championships first took place in Germany in 2005 and takes place every three years. In August, 2018, it took place in Berlin.
