It may not seem like music at all, but it is a kind of singing: People use their voice to yodel, without using any instruments (乐器) like violin or piano. At first, Austrian people used yodeling to call each other between mountains or to call their animals. It was just a loud sound without words, but it had different meanings, like “It’s time for lunch.” or “I’m near here.”    Yodeling developed (发展) into songs in the 19th century. There were yodeling groups singing in theaters and music halls in Austria. Later, people tried to write down the songs. A musician called Toby Reiser traveled through Austria, listened to people yodeling and wrote down all he heard. In the 1930s, ★ . American country singer Jimmie Rodgers created “blue yodel” songs and made yodeling part of the country music. Today, people can even hear yodeling in rock music, and it is still loved in countries like Britain and America.     The singing of yodeling is special because it repeats (反复) a high-low-high-low sound. Everyone can yodel. Yodeling is not about singing perfectly, but being loud. To try it, you can just find a room and sing “Little-old-lady-WHO!” Begin with “little old lady” in your chest voice (胸腔共鸣声) , and then jump up to your head voice to sing “who”. You will soon know what it means to “feel the yodel”.     Next time you are on a mountain top, try yodeling!

Schools highly value (重视) music and many schools offer (提供) music classes as part of the courses (课程). Children there often learn instruments like the piano, violin, guitar and different orchestral (管弦乐的) instruments like the trumpet. Many of my friends and classmates have been learning instruments from a young age. For example, I started (开始) learning the flute (长笛) when I was 8 years old. In Mexico (墨西哥), not every child has to learn an instrument. However, many choose to do so. You can take classes at special (特别的) music schools. Some middle school like mine, let you choose music as one of your courses alongside (与……一起) drama (戏剧), choir (合唱团) and others. Anyone can take it, not just students with experience (经验). You have performances (表演) at the end of the term, and you can tell how beginners (初学者) have got better. 1．From the passage, in which country is it common for children to learn an instrument?

D．In Germany, many of students have been learning instruments from a young age. A．Choose the best answer. (选择最佳答案): You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners? Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your cars, so even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high. Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but is would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to listen your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came. Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you. It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 Players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you. 1．The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.

I read many books. And I spent lots of time listening to my favorite guitar player playing something and then I practiced it. After a lot of hard work, I could play a few simple songs with my guitar. My parents were proud of (为……而骄傲) me and were always asking me to play for them. My class teacher at school also plays the guitar. He told me that I shouldn’t only think about how to play and that I should also try to feel the music.

That’s true, but it’s older than many people think. Rap is modern because it’s hugely popular around the world today, and because some of the world’s biggest stars are rappers. On the other hand, rap is not new; its history goes back a very longtime. ② We can trace modern rap back to American blues music of the 1920s. Instead of singing the lyrics of their songs, blues musicians often spoke them. Later on, an American musician named James Brown developed a new style of performing that greatly influenced modern rap. Brown’s music used a certain style of drum beat; it is still the most common drum beat in modern rap music. ③ It is important to remember this: We can look at the history of rap, but we can’t trace its source back to a single point. As we have read in other articles, music types tend to be influenced by all different kinds of things. Rap is the same. Its influences come from many places. ④ The music that we recognize as modern rap arose in the 1980s. One of the early rap groups that help shape this movement was Public Enemy. Public Enemy started the trend that many rappers still follow. They discussed politics, culture, racism (种族主义), discrimination (歧视), black life in modern America and many other issues. Other rappers like Ice Cube, Ice-T, and Dr. Dre helped make rap an international success. ⑤ One of today’s biggest rappers is Jay-Z. He has sold more than 50 million records, and he has won 17 Grammies. A Grammy is one of the top awards that a person can win in music. Jay-Z is known for his ability to rap at different speeds, and his skill in using words in a clever, unique way. Jay-Z is more than just a performer, however. He has also opened music production businesses, clothing businesses, and a chain of bars. In fact, Jay-Z is one of the wealthiest people in the world. 1．What can we say about James Brown? A．He started playing music in the 1920s. B．He only played the drums. C．His music influenced rap. D．He died in the 1920s. 2．What is the main point of the third paragraph? A．Many different things have influenced rap. B．We can trace rap back to a single point. C．There are very few articles about rap. D．We know very little about rap. 3．What does “biggest” mean in the fifth paragraph? A．Most successful B．Least successful C．Tallest D．Most interesting 4．What kind of business has Jay-Z NOT opened? A．A clothing business B．A music production business C．A chain of bars D．A food production business 5．Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A．Modern rap appeared in the 1920s. B．Public Enemy helped shape modern rap. C．Rap is only popular in the United States. D．Dr. Dre didn’t help rap become an international success. Hua Chenyu is popular with young people in China.

At first, Austrian people used yodeling to call each other between mountains or to call their animals. It was just a loud sound without words, but it had different meanings, like “It’s time for lunch.” or “I’m near here.”    Yodeling developed (发展) into songs in the 19th century. There were yodeling groups singing in theaters and music halls in Austria. Later, people tried to write down the songs. A musician called Toby Reiser traveled through Austria, listened to people yodeling and wrote down all he heard. In the 1930s, ★ . American country singer Jimmie Rodgers created “blue yodel” songs and made yodeling part of the country music.

(选择最佳答案): You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners? Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your cars, so even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high. Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but is would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to listen your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came. Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you. It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 Players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you. 1．The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．the type of music B．the amount of a sound C．the length of a song D．the colour of an MP3 player 2．No one wants to listen to ________ from others’ MP3 players.

That’s true, but it’s older than many people think. Rap is modern because it’s hugely popular around the world today, and because some of the world’s biggest stars are rappers. On the other hand, rap is not new; its history goes back a very longtime. ② We can trace modern rap back to American blues music of the 1920s. Instead of singing the lyrics of their songs, blues musicians often spoke them. Later on, an American musician named James Brown developed a new style of performing that greatly influenced modern rap. Brown’s music used a certain style of drum beat; it is still the most common drum beat in modern rap music. ③ It is important to remember this: We can look at the history of rap, but we can’t trace its source back to a single point. As we have read in other articles, music types tend to be influenced by all different kinds of things. Rap is the same. Its influences come from many places. ④ The music that we recognize as modern rap arose in the 1980s. One of the early rap groups that help shape this movement was Public Enemy. Public Enemy started the trend that many rappers still follow. They discussed politics, culture, racism (种族主义), discrimination (歧视), black life in modern America and many other issues. Other rappers like Ice Cube, Ice-T, and Dr. Dre helped make rap an international success. ⑤ One of today’s biggest rappers is Jay-Z. He has sold more than 50 million records, and he has won 17 Grammies. A Grammy is one of the top awards that a person can win in music. Jay-Z is known for his ability to rap at different speeds, and his skill in using words in a clever, unique way. Jay-Z is more than just a performer, however. He has also opened music production businesses, clothing businesses, and a chain of bars. In fact, Jay-Z is one of the wealthiest people in the world. 1．What can we say about James Brown? A．He started playing music in the 1920s. B．He only played the drums. C．His music influenced rap. D．He died in the 1920s. 2．What is the main point of the third paragraph? A．Many different things have influenced rap. B．We can trace rap back to a single point. C．There are very few articles about rap. D．We know very little about rap. 3．What does “biggest” mean in the fifth paragraph? A．Most successful B．Least successful C．Tallest D．Most interesting 4．What kind of business has Jay-Z NOT opened? A．A clothing business B．A music production business C．A chain of bars D．A food production business 5．Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A．Modern rap appeared in the 1920s. B．Public Enemy helped shape modern rap. C．Rap is only popular in the United States. D．Dr. Dre didn’t help rap become an international success. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了说唱音乐的起源。 1．细节理解题。根据“Later on, an American musician named James Brown developed a new style of performing that greatly influenced modern rap.”可知，美国音乐家詹姆斯·布朗发展出了一种新的表演风格，这种风格极大地影响了现代说唱。故选C。 2．主旨大意题。根据“As we have read in other articles, music types tend to be influenced by all different kinds of things. Rap is the same. Its influences come from many places. ”可知，正如我们在其他文章中读到的，音乐类型往往受到各种不同事物的影响。说唱也是一样，它的影响来自许多地方。故选A。 3．词义猜测题。根据“He has sold more than 50 million records, and he has won 17 Grammies.”可知，他已经售出了超过5亿张唱片，并且赢得了17个格莱美奖。据此推测biggest在文中是“最成功”的意思。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“He has also opened music production businesses, clothing businesses, and a chain of bars.”可知，他还开办了音乐产品业务、服装业务和连锁酒吧，没开办食品业务。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据“We can trace modern rap back to American blues music of the 1920s.”可知，选项A不正确。根据“One of the early rap groups that help shape this movement was Public Enemy.”可知，早期帮助塑造这一运动的说唱团体之一是Public Enemy。所以选项B正确。根据“Rap is modern because it’s hugely popular around the world today”可知说唱在当今全球范围内非常流行，而并非旨在美国，所以选项C 不正确。根据“Dr. Dre helped make rap an international success. ”可知Dr. Dre帮助使说唱在国际上取得了成功。故选项D错误。通过对比，故选B。 Hua Chenyu is popular with young people in China.
