But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算). For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1, 000 teachers. Among (B) them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other (C) ________, such as China and Britain, music class is not thought to be as important as classes like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it doesn't use an exam system (体系). (D) 许多学生忙于作业, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial (有益的) in many ways. Playing music is not as (E) simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. (F)When making music, you need different abilities to work together. 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. Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many (G) ________ are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano. 11．写出文中画线部分(A)和(E)的同义词或近义词:(A) , (E) 12．文中画线部分(B)指代的是: 13．在文中(C)和(G)的空白处填入适当的单词:(C) , (G) 14．将文中画线部分(D)译成英语: 15．将文中画线部分(F)改写为被动语态: when you are making music. Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine, too. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies: the biological clock(生物钟) Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 am. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back(后背) started to hurt. She did some exercises before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said,“Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercises after work.” Her legs and back don’t hurt anymore. Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology (时间生物学)，the study of biology clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep at the same time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illness, such as heart attacks(心脏病）, occur(发生)most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medicine at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning. Many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors! 16．Do we all have a biological clock inside our bodies? _____________________________________________________ 17．How far did Barbara Wells run every morning? _____________________________________________________ 18．How did Barbara Wells' legs and back get well? _____________________________________________________ 19．What is the right time for a heart attack person to take heart medicine? _____________________________________________________ 20．What can we learn from the passage? _____________________________________________________ 三、完形填空 There are two kinds of music in the world—one is written down and the other is not. Many people make their living 21 writing music. They write songs for pop stars and music for films and TV plays. They usually write exact instructions on 22 the music is played.

Many of the country people could 30 read nor write. In this way, stories were passed on from one person to another.
