Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music.Elvis Presley,Chuck Berry,Bob Dylan,and the Beach Boys were the most popular rock and roll musicians and band in the early 1960s. All were American.Then,in 1964,a new rock and roll group from England invaded America:the Beatles. Some people say the Beatles'music shook America like an earthquake.The Beatles changed rock and roll forever.Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians,including Chuck Berry.But the Beatles looked and sounded different from any musical group before them. The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964 when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles.In 1967,they released an album called Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.It was one of the first "concept"albums.That is,all the songs were linked by a common story or idea. The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America.The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands.The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960s that is still performing and recording today.In 1965,the group recorded one of its most famous songs,Satisfaction. By the 1970s,rock and roll music had become known as rock music.Experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll.Bruce Springsteen and the E.Street Band became popular with their album Born to Run.Springsteen's music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early 1960s.Many of his songs were about social issues.He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam. 1.Which is the main topic of this passage?

Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music,but he's probably best known for his nine 11111301 Unit 2 The universal language/ symphonies.A symphony is a long,grand piece of classical music,usually divided into four parts.The four parts are often linked by "themes"-repeated musical ideas that tie the whole piece together.When Beethoven died in 1827,he had some ideas for a 10th Symphony.But all that he left behind were some notes about the piece and a few "sketches"-short bits of written music. In 2019,a special team of musicians,computer scientists,and historians was formed.To train an AI to help with the symphony,the team tumned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand.By feeding the program all of Beethoven's music,the AI could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote.This included,for example,how he reused simple melodies ( all through a piece to create a theme,or how he moved between different parts of the symphony.Thus,it would be much easier for the special team to finish Beethoven's 10th Symphony. One early test told the team they were on the right track.They took a few minutes of music created by the AI based on Beethoven's sketches,and played it for Beethoven experts,musicians,and reporters. No one could tell which parts had been written by Beethoven and which parts the Al made up.Finally, the AI had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits into a symphony.It took over two years,but finally the team was able to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony.Not simply a melody,but 40 minutes of music for a full orchestra-a large group of musicians playing everything from instruments, like violins,trumpets,flutes,drums,and piano. 1.What does the writer intend to do in paragraph 1? A.To explain what artificial intelligence is. B.To give readers a general idea of the text. C.To tell readers how Beethoven is loved by people. D.To show the reason for Beethoven's new symphony. 2.What is the goal of the special team? A.To learn to play Beethoven's nine symphonies. B.To feed all of Beethoven's symphonies into computer. C.To try to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony. D.To create a new piece of music based on the 10th Symphony. 3.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.The special team's great efforts paid off. B.It was challenging for Al to complete the task. C.Beethoven's sketches were too hard to figure out. D.Al created simply a melody of Beethoven's 10th Symphony. 4.Where is the text probably taken from? A.A brochure. B.A guide book. C.A music review.

Suddenly,my piano's story came flooding out of me fully formed as if I'd always had this tale to tell. I loved music since childhood.I studied with the recorder and moved to the violin,trumpet and guitar.But playing the piano had always been my dream,a dream my family could not afford. I grew up in an immigrant Chinese family in Toronto.My father waited tables in a Chinese restaurant,and my mother worked in a Chinese laundry.Despite our poor childhood,my siblings and I were always fed with love.I can't remember which birthday it was when my mother spared the money to buy me a doll.Of course,by then I'd outgrown wanting dolls.But she worked too hard to know that and I never told her.I happily and gratefully accepted the doll because I loved the gift that was her loving me enough to buy it for me. So it was eventually with my piano.It was in my last year of high school.I took piano lessons for about a year before university forced me to stop.I had to make a decision:to work towards the more practical goal of medical school or my love for music.Finally,I chose to stop piano lessons. I moved that piano around with me over the next decade-until my son was born.He showed an early interest in music,so I put him in piano lessons. I've come to realize that in pursuit of my career,I've let all personal pleasure fall away.Maybe it's time to get that piano retuned again,this time for myself,before it's too late to enjoy. Maybe that's something we all should do right now. Sometimes a single question can open whole paths of thinking and discovery.So,what is the story of your piano? 5.What do we know about the author from the first three paragraphs? A.She was born into a musical family. B.She refused to accept the doll as a gift. C.She had a poor but happy childhood. D.Her parents were too busy to care for her. 6.Why did the author stop piano lessons in her last year of high school? A.Playing the piano was useless to her. B.She couldn't afford piano lessons. C.Her parents forced her to stop. D.She faced academic and career pressure. 1111321 Unit 2 The universal language 7.What will the author probably do in the near future?

These are the cha-cha,samba,paso doble,jive and rumba.They are classed as being different from ballroom dances,which include the waltz,foxtrot,quickstep and tango.

This can be fun and help you make friends and learn from others.The teacher will show simple steps and moves.You need to slowly put them together.5. Dance studios have big mirrors on the walls so you can see how you're doing,and special floors to help you move easily.

Look anywhere and you'll find music.Without a single exception,every culture produces some form of it.Yet music's origin remains one of the great secrets of human history. The oldest known instruments are 42,000-year-old bone flutes discovered in caves in Germany. Music surely appeared earlier,but the problem is that music doesn't fossilize and our brains don't fossilize.With little hard evidence,scientists still discuss what evolutionary purpose music serves or whether it serves any purpose at all. For many years,music researchers have more or less settled into two camps:those who believe the evolution of music is a biological adaptation,and those who believe it's a cultural invention.In the latter argument,the music we love dearly is no more than "auditory cheesecake",as evolutionary scientist Steven Pinker said.Rather than a biological adaptation in its own right,music is a pleasing byproduct of other adaptations,like language."As far as biological cause and effect are concerned,music is useless, Pinker said."Music could disappear from our mankind and the rest of our lifestyle would be absolutely unchanged.” Some found this conclusion too dismissive.After all,the capacity to make and enjoy music seems rooted in each of us,just like other valuable adaptations."These days music is a profession,but even ordinary people who never had a music lesson have implicit knowledge of the structure of the music of their culture,"says Sandra Trehub,a scientist at the University of Toronto.What's more,Trehub studies music sense in babies.They are strongly attracted to music,and they can even remember music months after hearing it."You see these amazing abilities,"she says,"and you have to think that there is a biological foundation for it." That doesn't necessarily mean we evolved that foundation for music,but many scientists have offered explanations for why we might have.Some argue music is a system for social relationships,helping us to exist together in united,well-functioning groups.Another possibility is that music originates from the relaxing sounds parents make to communicate with babies.Some researchers even argue that the earliest form of music may have given rise to language itself.Others think that music and language share a common ancestor. Some have sought a way around the adaptation-invention difference.A musicologist Savage and his group tell the difference between music (a cultural product)and musicality (a biological foundation that allows us to create and appreciate music).This alone doesn't explain the final origin of music,but it does allow room for both nature and nurture.They suggest that cultural music and biological musicality have developed together,in a kind of "gene-culture evolution". 36参考答案及超详思路 之主题语境大拓展WWWW 「，语篇导读)本文介绍了擒滚乐的发展，以及一些非常著 名的摇浪乐队和摇滚歌手。 1.B考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“Rock and roll music developed in the United
