His classmates danced to it and cheered excitedly. But soon, the sound became very messy. When the 2 ended, there was no cheering but silence.
Mr Li, the director of the party, asked, “What were you trying to express?”
Kai 3 his head nervously, avoiding meeting the director's eye. “I just wanted to do something different ...”
“Well, it's a good try. But the guqin has over 3,000 years of history. You didn't present its true character,” said Mr Li. “And we could hardly hear the guqin,” added Kai's music teacher Miss Zhou. “I'm afraid I can't give you a 4 .”
“Please, can I have another chance?” Kai begged.

Later, alone in the hall, Kai sat in his chair, feeling down. “I understand you,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you 6 the rules, master them first.”
Kai was 7 .
“The guqin is close to 8 ,” Miss Zhou explained. “The bottom board stands for the ground, and the top board stands for the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.”
“Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other 9 ?”
“It's 10 ,” replied Miss Zhou. “So it's usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be paired with the dizi or xiao. Behind every traditional art form lies Chinese philosophy(哲理), which makes it special. We should try hard to keep the 11 when connecting it to modern life.”

阅读下面短文,从短文后选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余。
Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: 1 Here, we look at two examples.
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. 2 The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians can hear the talking person more clearly.
3 Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐队). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风)patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. 4 Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged(损坏的)parts. This might help patients use that part of the brain again.
Music improves concentration, memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities.
5 Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp(敏锐的)as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable but also good for us in many other ways.
A. It can even help sick people get better.
B. Music helps people solve some hearing problems.
C. Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.
D. The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin.
E. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.
F. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients speak.
G. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.
五、语法填空 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Grand Song of the Dong ethnic group(侗族大歌) is the folk song of the Dong people in China. It is performed widely in Guizhou and Guangxi now.
Hu Guanmei is one of the masters of the Grand Song. Her parents encouraged her (1)____________(learn) it when she was three years old. At that time, she would rather stay at home and practise the Grand Song (2) ____________ go out to play. "My parents told me that when you were happy, you could sing; when you (3) ____________ sad, you could sing too," Hu recalled. "Singing the Grand Song could keep sadness and worries away from us," she added.
In her (4) ____________ (twenty), Hu became famous in her village because she could sing the Grand Song well. Then she began helping spread the Grand Song. Every night, the kids (5) ___________ lived nearby met at Hu's home to sing together. Later, Hu (6) ______ __ (invite) to teach students at school.
Up to now, she has trained over 1,000 students of all (7) ________ (age). Her students speak (8) ________ (high) of her. "She is a totally committed(尽心尽力的) teacher. She has not only passed on the singing skills to us, but also succeeded in (9) ______ __(help) us have a much deeper understanding of Dong culture," one of her students said.
So far, many of her students (10) ____________ (win) music competitions and given performances home and abroad. Hu hopes they can continue to pass on the traditional culture and bring joy to more people.
