This policy aims to encourage primary and secondary schools to provide more fine music classes because a new study shows that music education is really important in school education. Here are some ideas on how music plays an important role in school education. Music helps with Maths and Science. Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divide. Students also use Science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn’t. Besides students also use Science to understand how music is produced by vibration (振动) and why. Students learn a lot about languages through music. Many songs are written in foreign languages. Students must learn to translate these foreign words to understand what they are singing about. Students learn a huge amount of cooperation of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. For example, students must use motor (肌肉运动的) skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind (管乐器) players must learn breath control and be in good shape to sing and play. Students learn about Art through music. Some famous pieces of music were inspired by important pieces of art, and students learn about the artist and styles as they’re playing the music. Music education also brings higher thinking. Students have to be aware of what every musician does at every time. In this way, it develops cooperation as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning. 1．When did China start to include Music tests in Senior School Entrance Exams? 2．How many good points about the music education are talked about? 3．Why can music help parts of the body work better together? 4．In your daily life, what benefit do you think music brings to you? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】1．From 2022. 2．Five. 3．Because students learn much cooperation of body parts through music. 4．Music makes me happy and energetic. (言之有理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍2022年起中考增设音乐考试这一政策，并分点阐述音乐教育对学生学习、身心发展的多重益处。 【详解】1．根据第一段“But starting from 2022, there are also tests in Music.”可知，题干询问中考增设音乐测试的起始时间，该句给出明确时间节点，答案是原文直接信息。 2．根据第二段至第六段可知，文章依次介绍音乐教育的五点好处：助力数学科学、学习语言、锻炼肢体配合、接触美术、培养高阶思维，总计五点，答案为原文信息整合得出。 3．根据第四段“Students learn a huge amount of cooperation of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together.”可知，句子前后存在因果逻辑，学习音乐能让学生掌握大量肢体协作能力，因此身体各部位配合更协调，答案直接提取原文因果句。 4．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，作答语句贴合音乐给人带来的积极影响即可，示例Music makes me happy and energetic符合答题要求。 培优拔高·挑战攻坚 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广西贺州·期末）The erhu is a traditional Chinese musical instrument.

They start by playing music on bottles and boxes. Then they go on to other instruments. Many of them have become very successful musicians. The school has been training young musicians from the area since 1994—and it’s been doing it for free. “My musical work started here as a student with Mr. Brown,” said Jair Rezende. “I lost both my parents as a boy and Carlinhos helped me a lot.

The music of Beijing Opera plays a key role in setting the pace of the show, creating a particular atmosphere, shaping the characters, and guiding the progress of the stories.

This policy aims to encourage primary and secondary schools to provide more fine music classes because a new study shows that music education is really important in school education. Here are some ideas on how music plays an important role in school education. Music helps with Maths and Science. Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divide. Students also use Science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn’t. Besides students also use Science to understand how music is produced by vibration (振动) and why. Students learn a lot about languages through music. Many songs are written in foreign languages. Students must learn to translate these foreign words to understand what they are singing about. Students learn a huge amount of cooperation of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. For example, students must use motor (肌肉运动的) skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind (管乐器) players must learn breath control and be in good shape to sing and play. Students learn about Art through music. Some famous pieces of music were inspired by important pieces of art, and students learn about the artist and styles as they’re playing the music. Music education also brings higher thinking. Students have to be aware of what every musician does at every time. In this way, it develops cooperation as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning. 1．When did China start to include Music tests in Senior School Entrance Exams? 2．How many good points about the music education are talked about? 3．Why can music help parts of the body work better together? 4．In your daily life, what benefit do you think music brings to you?

In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use this type of huqin to play different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It became an important instrument in different kinds of folk music.

He gave a confident performance of traditional Syrian songs. “We only heard the sound of a mortar (迫击炮) . It fell near us. Many buildings fell down.
