BDo you like music? Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played through musical instruments are always beautiful to all the people in the world. Pop music in America is what most students like. Every student has his or her smart phone with earphones. Students always listen to music before class, after class and during lunch. College students with cars buy large speakers (扬声器) and play the music loudly as they drive on the street. Adult drivers enjoy listening to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to news about sports, the weather, politics, etc. But most of the radio broadcast they hear is about music. Pop singers can make lots of money. They make a CD, tape or video that radio stations use in every state. Once a popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people will buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, his or her fans want to meet him or her. Besides pop music, there are two other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. The other is called Western or country music. It was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called Western or country music. ( )34. What kind of music do most American students like?A. Folk music.   B.

CEvery Sunday afternoon, many school-age boys and girls play Chinese traditional instruments in “Shuyou’s music workshop”. They have had the activity for over five years. “Shuyou’s music workshop” was set up by Li Shuyou in a village in Hunan. He used to sing Huagu Opera. Seven years ago, he returned to the village. He noticed that many children there had nothing to do after school. And because their parents were working in big cities, they simply wandered (游荡) the streets or played online games. “I felt sorry to see them waste time and decided to do something for them,” Li said. So he came up with the idea to start music classes. Li used his own money to buy instruments. Then he started providing lessons in his house for free on weekends and during the holidays. Over ten students took lessons there. At first, some children were just curious about Li. “I didn’t believe a teacher would offer music classes for free,” said one of Li’s students, Ding. “So I came to find out, and over all these years, I have really learned a Tot thanks to Mr Li.”However. teaching was not easy at first. The children didn’t have basic music knowledge. For them, music class could be boring, especially when they had to practise a part again and again. Li chose the songs that they liked and came up with games to make Classes more interesting. Last year, a children’s orchestra (管弦乐队) was set up. Some of the students even entered music universities. So far, the number of Li’s students has reached 60. “I love music and also want the younger to get power from music,” Li said. ( )37. Why did Li Shuyou set up the music workshop?A.

A. ①③④  B. ①②③  C. ①②④  D. ②③④DXu Yuanchong was a Chinese translator. He is best known for his translations of ancient Chinese poems into English and French. Xu’s translation career began during his college years when he studied at the National Southwest Associated University in Kunming. In 1939, he translated a poem written by Chinese poet Lin Huiyin titled Don’t Cast Away, which is known as his earliest work. In the late 1940s, Xu went to France to study French literature. Later he returned to China and began to work at Peking University. While teaching at Peking University, Xu kept on his translation work. He was the first Chinese to translate Chinese poetry into English and French. For him, translated literature is a beautiful art. He once said, “The greatest joy on the earth is to introduce the beauty created by a people to the whole world.”Xu paid much attention to the beauty of language. He would leave something out and add something to make the translated works more beautiful. But other translators thought that made his translation a bit different from the meaning of the source text (原作). Xu had many debates (辩论) with them. He said, “I’m not afraid, because the truth becomes clearer with each debate.”Over the years, Xu’s beautiful translation works have acted as a cultural bridge connecting the East with the West. English - and French-speaking readers are able to better understand Chinese literature through Xu’s translations. At the same time, Chinese readers can enjoy foreign works in the same way as they read works written in Chinese. ( )41.

But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only objects to help people keep cool. Chinese people started to use hand fans over 3,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes such as round and square. They were almost made of all kinds of materials like bamboo, wood and feathers. Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Sandalwood (檀木) fans could send out a sweet smell. Feather fans showed the owners’ high status (地位) . Later fans became far more than just something that could cool people down. They developed into artworks and among them, round fans (tuanshan) and folded fans (zheshan) were the most common. In the shape of a full moon, round fans were usually made of silk, which had beautiful birds and flowers on them. Women especially those in the palace liked to use them. Meanwhile, men especially the literati (文人) used folded fans. They liked them because folded fans were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their talents for literature, painting and handwriting. Almost everything could be painted on folded fans. Today Chinese people still use these fans, but not many people write or paint on them. Next time you are waving a fan, you may think of the history behind it. 56.
