When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as fun, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is short-sighted (短视的). 1 Music tells us who we are. Music shows people’s thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. 2 Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. 3 We need every possible way to discover and respond (回应) to our world because no one way can get it all. Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. 4 Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take them away from the meanings that music expresses. 5 Music does. So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize. A．It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. B．Music studies the emotive (情感的) meanings. C．Science does not tell us what it means to be a human. D．People always listen to the music that interests them. E．For example, just as Mozart music is a lifestyle, rock music is also a lifestyle. F．In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students. 【答案】1．F 2．E 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐教育的重要性，强调了音乐不仅仅是娱乐，还是一种表达思想和情感的方式。 1．根据上文“This opinion is short-sighted.”可知，作者并不赞同这种观点，作者认为音乐教育很重要；选项F“事实上，音乐教育对所有学生来说都是必要和重要的。”符合语境。故选F。 2．根据上文“Music tells us who we are. Music shows people’s thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from.”可知，此处是指音乐也会影响创作者的思考和价值观，而下文就应该举例说明；选项E“例如，正如莫扎特的音乐是一种生活方式，摇滚乐也是一种生活方式。”符合语境。故选E。 3．根据上文“Science explains how the sun rises and sets.”可知，音乐也是了解世界的另一种方式，科学探索自然，那么此处就应介绍音乐探索什么；选项B“音乐研究情感意义。”符合语境。故选B。 4．根据下文“Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas and our hopes so that they can be shared with others.”可知，音乐也是一种交流的语言；选项A“这是我们人类彼此‘交谈’的一种方式。”符合语境。故选A。 5．根据下文“Music does.”可知，音乐告诉我们作为一个人意味着什么，所以此处是指科学并没有告诉我们作为一个人意味着什么；选项C“科学并没有告诉我们作为一个人意味着什么。”符合语境。故选C。 Passage 2 （山西省吕梁市交城市2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末英语试题）请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项。 It’s time to enjoy the special warm porridge (粥) of winter!

One of the best things we do is to plant more trees. Trees can take in CO2 in the air and stop global warming. 1 A team of scientists at Boston University has been working with NASA to study Earth’s green vegetation (植被). They used a special NASA camera and found that global leaf area had increased by 5 percent since the early 2000s. 2 That’s about one-quarter of the size of the entire Amazon rainforest. “The growth mainly came from China's forest protection programs,” NASA said. For example, since 1962, China has been planting trees in Saihanba, Hebei Province. It was once a desert. 3 4 Ant Forest, a feature in Alipay app, gives users points for doing eco-friendly things such as walking and going paperless in the office.
