七、阅读理解。
(A)
As we often use eyes to touch nature,most of us "lose"the ability to listen to the
world.
Peter writes music.He likes sounds and uses natural sounds as part of his music.He
often went out to the wild with his microphone and recorded interesting sounds to put in
movies or to use in his own songs.Instead of trying to capture just the sound of one animal
or bird,he recorded the sound of everything all together-the animals,the trees,the wind
and Earth.He called these recordings "soundscapes"-the sound of a certain place.Every
soundscape Peter recorded had a lot of information.
Back in his workshop,Peter used a computer to make a picture of all the sounds going
on in a place.Each animal,bird and insect had its own place on the picture-its own notes
in the music.The busier the picture,the richer the life in that place."While a picture may be
worth 1,000 words,a soundscape is worth 1,000 pictures,"Peter said."Our ears tell us the
sound of every leaf and animal and speak to the natural sources()of our lives,which
may hold the secrets of love for all things,especially our own humanity.
But not everything is satisfying.When Peter began recording over forty years ago,he
could record for ten hours and get one hour of usable material good enough for a movie.
Now,because of human activities,it can take up to 1,000 hours or more to get the same
thing.Some of the places he has recorded over the years have slowly fallen silent.His sound
pictures show that although nature might look the same to humans,it has lost part of its
orchestra(管弦乐队).
So next time you are in the forests,try another way to look-shut your eyes,and
listen.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

I can't remember when I fell in love with music.Maybe it happened when I was feeling
blue sometime long ago.I can't tell you exactly how music makes me feel better.But while
listening to music,especially light music,it makes me feel calm and peaceful.Now I am
listening to a song named Moon River.It is really a fantastic song.I didn't like this song at
the beginning,but later I found its slow melody and beautiful lyrics deeply touching.
"Oh,dream maker,you heart breaker.Wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters(流浪者)off to see the world.There's such a lot of world to see.”
Yes.Although there is a long way to go for the drifters and maybe there are many
troubles ahead,they seem afraid of nothing.I like music.Music reminds me that human
beings have a lot in common even if they come from different countries or backgrounds,
because we all have the same feeling or understanding of melodies and words.
