Question

To me, life without music would not be exciting. I know that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, or listening to the tape. But music plays an important part in everyone’s life, whether he knows it or not. Try not to think, for example, what films or TV plays would be without music. I’m not sure about it.

Now, we can enjoy music more easily—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we find them in our everyday life too—the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music has meaning for everyone.

It is well said, “ Through music a child enters a world of beauty, express(表达) himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：该篇短文介绍了音乐对人们的重要性，想象了没有音乐的生活，音乐无处不在，特别是对孩子更重要。

1.A细节理解题。根据文中I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record.可知很多人没有意识到音乐的重要性。使用选 A

2.D细节理解题。根据第一段的句子：Try to imagine，for example，what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings，the moving plot，and the greatest interests，be so interesting or dramatic?可知如果电影和电视剧中没有音乐的话，结果会很难想象，所以选D。

3.C词义猜测题。根据文中We discover them in our everyday life too可知我们在日常生活中也能听到这些音乐，如鸟的歌唱。所以“melody”=singing，故选C。
