The music was written by Tan Dun, a world-famous composer. Born in 1957 in central Hunan, China, Tan Dun grew up near the Liuyang River. When he was very young, Tan showed an interest in music. He loved the sounds of the rushing water and the blowing wind because, to him, the best music comes from nature. Since he had no musical instruments then, he made music with common objects like stones and paper. As a composer, perhaps he is best known for winning an Oscar for his music in the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. As he likes the sounds of nature, Tan uses them a lot in his music. His amazing piece of music Water does not use any musical instruments. Instead, Tan makes over 50 sounds from water by controlling the speed of water flow. "They're the sounds of nature, and they create different pictures in different minds," Tan said. Tan has helped build a bridge between the East and the West. He has successfully brought Chinese and Western music together. The music for the Beijing Olympics uses traditional Chinese music and the sounds of an ancient Chinese bell, though it is in a Western style. "My music is to dream without boundaries," Tan once said. In his works, the past and the present, common objects and musical instruments, traditional Chinese music and modern Western music all mix together to make a new type—music without boundaries. ( ) 31. Who is Tan Dun? A. A pop singer.B. A medal maker.C. An Olympic player.D. A composer. ( ) 32. Why did Tan make music with common objects at first? A. Because he wanted to win an award. B.

A. ①/②③/④⑤B. ①/②③④/⑤C. ①②/③/④⑤D. ①②/③④/⑤ B Have you ever walked down a city street and heard beautiful music coming from a corner? Perhaps it was a violinist, a flutist, or even a drummer. These performers are called street musicians, or buskers. Street music is one of the oldest forms of entertainment in the world. Street music creates a special atmosphere in cities. It makes busy streets feel more lively and welcoming. For many musicians, performing on the street is their first step toward a professional career. It allows them to practice in front of a real audience and build confidence. Some famous musicians, like Ed Sheeran and Tracy Chapman, started their careers as buskers. However, being a street musician is not easy. They face many challenges. Weather is a big problem—rain or strong wind can stop a performance. Also, some cities have strict laws about where and when people can perform. Sometimes, they might play for hours but earn very little money. Despite these difficulties, most buskers love what they do. They enjoy sharing their music with passers-by and bringing a little joy to people's daily lives. Interestingly, street music is not just about performance; it's also about interaction. A smiling face from a listener or a child dancing to the rhythm can be the best reward for a musician. In many ways, street music connects people and makes the urban environment more human. ( ) 36. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic of street music. B.

A sad song can make us cry, while an upbeat pop song can make us want to dance. But have you ever wondered why? Scientists have been studying the connection between music and emotions for years, and their findings are fascinating. Music has the power to affect our brains chemically. When we listen to music we enjoy, our brain releases dopamine, a chemical that makes us feel happy and relaxed. This is why listening to your favorite song can feel like a reward. The tempo (speed) and key of the music also play a role. Fast tempos and major keys often make people feel energetic and cheerful. Slow tempos and minor keys tend to bring out feelings of sadness or calmness. Different types of music can serve different purposes. If you are feeling stressed, listening to classical music or nature sounds can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. If you are tired, rock or hip-hop music can give you a burst of energy. Many students listen to music while studying to help them focus, although experts suggest that instrumental music is better for concentration than songs with lyrics, which can be distracting. Music therapy (疗法) is now a recognized field. Therapists use music to help patients with mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. It is also used to help people recover from strokes or brain injuries. Music is not just entertainment; it is a powerful tool for healing and well-being. So, the next time you put on your headphones, remember that you are doing more than just listening—you are taking care of your mind. ( ) 41. What chemical does the brain release when we listen to music we like? A. Adrenaline.B. Dopamine.C. Melatonin.D. Insulin. ( ) 42. According to Paragraph 2, what usually makes people feel energetic? A. Slow tempos and minor keys. B. Soft voices and sad lyrics. C. Fast tempos and major keys. D. Loud noises and strong beats. ( ) 43. What does the writer suggest for students who study while listening to music? A. Listen to songs with meaningful lyrics. B. Choose instrumental music. C. Listen to rock music loudly. D. Avoid music completely. ( ) 44. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. Music is only for entertainment. B. Music can be used as a form of therapy. C. Music causes depression and anxiety. D. Music is too distracting for medical patients. ( ) 45. What is the author's attitude towards music? A. Negative—it is a waste of time. B. Neutral—it has both good and bad sides. C.
