Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Many people don't realize the importance of music education in the schools today. A new study showed, however, music education is extremely important.
In college, music education is one of the largest programs. Teachers have to learn general education materials and techniques. They must learn to play every instrument; they must learn music history and music theory; they must learn instrument repair and teaching methods; they must learn conducting and so much more. At the same time, much of our culture and tradition is absorbed in music.
Music plays a very important role in our education.
Music helps with math 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. Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series", which is about how music is produced by vibration（顫動）and why.
Students learn a lot about languages through music．Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones. Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. A song is likely to be a famous short work set to music; so students are exposed to that very often while singing.
Students learn a huge amount of cooperation （協(xié)作）of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. Students must use motor（肌肉運動的）skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind（管樂器）players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.
Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music.
Music education also brings higher thinking to our children. It allows them to think about complex patterns. Students have to be aware of what every other musician does at every time. In that way, it develops cooperation, as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning.
As one can see, music is very important to education.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）C
（2）A
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】本文是一篇說明文，講到許多人沒有意識到音樂教育的重要性。一項新的研究表明，音樂教育是十分重要的。
（1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的”In college, music education is one of the largest programs Teachers have to learn general education materials and techniques． They must learn to play every instrument; they must learn music history and music theory; they must learn instrument repair and teaching methods; they must learn conducting and so much more“在大學里，音樂是最大的項目之一，老師不得有學習音樂材料與技術(shù)，學會各種樂器，學習音樂歷史，樂器修理等待，可見在大學里學習音樂很有壓力。所以選C項。
（2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的”Music helps with math and science“音樂能幫助數(shù)學與科學；”Students learn a lot about languages through music“通過音樂學習語言；”Students learn a huge amount of cooperation （協(xié)作）of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together“。音樂學習過程中學會協(xié)作，所以選A項。
（3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第五段中的”A song is likely to be a famous short work set to music; so students are exposed to that very often while singing．“一首歌曲可能是短小與音樂有關(guān)的作品，因此學生們在唱歌時多接觸這個著作，所以選B項。
（4）考查細節(jié)理解。本文通過”Music helps with math and science“ 音樂能幫助學習數(shù)學與科學；”Students learn a lot about languages through music“可以通過音樂學語言；” Students learn a huge amount of cooperation （協(xié)作）of body parts through music “通過音樂學習身體的協(xié)作；”Music education also brings higher thinking to our children“音樂教育能幫助孩子帶來更好的思維。所以從各個方面來闡明音樂的重要性，所以選D項。
