Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today . However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.
Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty.
Others say it is more popular than we first imagine . Many young people listen to classical music without realising .It is often used in films and advertisements. For example.a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup . Not many people could have given its name , but millions enjoyed it .
Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.
However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.
A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.
So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments , but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise!

【解析】本文是一篇议论文，对年轻人是否喜欢古典音乐进行讨论，列出了不同的观点和证明这些观点的证据。
（1）考查形容词。根据第一段中的“Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today .”可知这篇文章讲的是古典音乐是否和年轻人有关的问题，填形容词relevant“相关的”。
（2）考查代词。根据第二段中的“if you look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty.”可知听音乐会的大部分人都是50岁以上的人。The majority要改成Most of。
（3）考查动词。根据第三段中的“Many young people listen to classical music without realising .”可知很多人听古典音乐却没有意识到这个是古典音乐。文章里面的realizing，在题目中需要谓语，所以填realize（realize）/know/recognise(recognize)
（4）考查名词。根据第四段中的“Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas:”可知人们创作新的音乐是以古典音乐为基础的，这里需要base的名词：basis。
（5）考查动词。根据第四段中的“it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.”可知人们在流行音乐中使用rap，文章里面是被动含义，题目中用主动，填use。
（6）考查名词。根据第五段中的“However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology.”可知科技超越了古典音乐，填Technology。
（7）考查副词。根据第五段中的“Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom”可知年轻人可以舒服的在卧室里面用电脑程序做音乐，这里用副词comfortably修饰动词make music。
（8）考查名词。根据第六段中的“A final point to in mind is that the term ‘classical music’is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).”可知古典音乐可以被用来指各种各样的音乐。文章中的a great variety of=various kinds/ types/sorts of。
（9）考查动词。根据第六段的句子：中的“A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).'可知古典音乐的范围包含爵士乐到大的管弦乐队。填ranges（范围从…到…变化）
（10）考查动词。根据第七段中的”but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music.'可知古典音乐今天仍然会被年轻人喜欢，文章的enjoying改成enjoyed/loved/liked。
