    When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
    Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from  American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
    Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
    The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
    Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
    So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
    小题1:According to Paragraph 1, students
    A．regard music as a way of entertainment
    B．disagree with their parents on education
    C．view music as an overlooked subject
    D．prefer the arts to science
    小题2:In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz an example to
    A．compare it with rock music
    B．show music identifies a society
    C．introduce American musical traditions
    D．prove music influences people’s lifestyles
    小题3:According to the passage, the arts and science      .
    A. approach the world from different angles
    B. explore different phenomena of the world
    C express people’s feelings in different ways
    D. explain what it means to be human differently
    小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Music education deserves more attention.
    B．Music should be of top education priority.
    C．Music is an effective communication tool.
    D．Music education makes students more imaginative.

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:A
    小题4:A

    小题1:从第一段我们可以知道，学生们一般把music列为entertainment，列为not important。所以正确的答案为:A
    小题2:推理判断题。通过第二段最后三行的描述，特别是最后一句话，我们可以断定该题的正确答案为:B。
    小题3:推理判断题。通读文章我们知道艺术和科学从不同的角度来审视社会。而不是用不同的方式来表达人们的情感。
    小题4:主旨大意题。第一段话引出话题，表明人们对音乐的不重视，然后作者从不同方面来论证自己的观点：音乐应该得到人们更多的关注。

    In 1879, a group of explorers made an incredible find. They discovered paintings of remarkable beauty on the walls of a cave in Spain. Some scientists believed that these paintings were created by early humans from the Stone Age, between ten and thirty thousand years ago. Other scientists and the public did not believe the claim, but over the years, it was proven correct. Our ancestors had incredible artistic talents.
    Most of the cave art that has been discovered has been found in Spain and France. A smaller number of such caves are located in Italy, Portugal, Russia, and other countries. Scientists believe that many more caves will be discovered in the coming years, and are concentrating their efforts on Africa and the area between Europe and Asia. These two regions of the world were, populated first by humans.
    Cave art was carved or painted on the walls and roofs of caves, usually near the entrance. The entrance area was probably chosen to take advantage of daylight and to allow many people to view the paintings. In some cases, the art appears much deeper in caves and requires artificial light. Evidence suggests that the artists used torches or shallow bowls in which animal fat was burned.
    9.What was the response of general public to the discovery of cave art made by Stone Age people?
    A. They believed it at first.
    B. They did not believe it.
    C. They thought it was beautiful.
    D. They ignored it.
    10.According to the passage, what can we conclude about animal fat?
    A. It does not burn.
    B. Stone Age artists used it to preserve their paintings.
    C. It can be burned to produce light.
    D. Stone Age artists mixed it with their food.
    11.. Where do scientists expect to find more cave paintings?
    A. In Central and South America.
    B. In Spain and France.
    C. In the places where there are caves with large openings.
    D. In the regions of the world first populated by humans.
    12.Where would this passage be most likely to appear?
    A. In a textbook about early human history.
    B. In a textbook about modern art.
    C. In a dictionary.
    D. In an encyclopedia entry about caves.

    I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Liu Dan, a middle school student in Beijing. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes?
    One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
    So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Call them if you stay somewhere else later than usual. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.
    Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children.

    A．parents are not always rightB．parents should practice more

    What did you dream about last night? Did your teeth fall out or did you fly? Maybe you died or someone you know did．Or maybe you were back in high school．These are among the most common dreams people have and they all mean something．Here are some of the most common dreams and their interpretations or symbolism．
    Dreams of flying．Dreams of flying represent feelings of freedom that may result from an instance when you overcome a limitation or obstacle．Usually, children have more flying dreams than adults, because children are more open to their possibilities, and adults have often accepted limitations imposed by society．
    Teeth falling out．Food in a dream is symbolic of knowledge because food nourishes the physical body and knowledge nourishes the soul．Teeth are a means to break down food or knowledge．When your teeth fall out in a dream, it could signify that you feel ill - equipped to break down the knowledge that you have available, that the way you break things down has changed．That change can be either positive or negative．
    High school dreams．High school is a place of learning from the past, and dreaming of being unprepared for a high school test can indicate a struggle to access information you need to handle in your life．
    Recurring dreams and nightmares．Recurring dreams are your subconscious （潜意识）mind's way of trying to get your attention．A recurring dream is a step down from a nightmare that is a louder, more insistent way your subconscious mind communicates．If you have a recurring dream, try to stop in the dream and identify what the dream is trying to tell you．That could mean asking someone who is chasing you what he or she wants．A woman dreamed for years that an old, haggard woman was chasing her around her home．When she finally stopped in the dream and asked the old woman what she represented, the old woman suddenly turned into a beautiful young woman and replied, "I represent your question of ' what if?’ "
