3.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.

68.According to Paragraph 1,studentsA
A.regard music as a way of entertainment
B.disagree with their parents on education
C.view music as an overlooked subject

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

B.Music should be of top education priority.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了如今人们对音乐的不重视,同时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.

解答 68.A  细节理解题,从第一段Music is nice,people seem to say,but not important.Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment,but certainly not an education priority我们可以知道,学生们一般把"音乐"列为"娱乐",而且他们认为这是不重要的,故选A..
69.B  推理判断题.通过第二段Music expresses our character and values.It gives us identity as a society.可知作者以爵士乐为例向我们说明音乐可以作为一个社会身份,故选B.
70.A  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,故选A.
71.A  主旨大意题.第一段话中Music is nice,people seem to say,but not important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,故选A.

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

Good morning,ladies and gentleman.
Some of us are having problems with our parents,as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries.
I fully understand why we are not comfortable about it,but there's no need to feel too sad.Our parents are checking our bags or diaries to make sure we're not getting into any trouble.They have probably heard some horrible stories about other kids and thought we might do the same.Or perhaps they just want to connect with us but are doing it all wrong.My suggestion is:Tell them we want them to trust us as much as we'd like to trust them.If you don't think you can talk to them,write them a letter and leave it lying around----they are bound to read it.
Thank you!

12.A few years ago,Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50percent less energy,cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning."I think half of then fell off their chairs,"Gerner says.
Gerner manages school facilities (设施)for Clark county,Nevada,a district roughly the size of Massachusetts.By 2018,143,000additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system.Gerner needs 73new schools to house them.Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes (样品); They plan to construct their schools starting in 2009.The district will then assess how well the schools perform,and three winners will copy those designs in 50to 70new buildings.
Green schools are appearing all over,but in Clark County,which stands out for its vastness,such aggressive targets are difficult because deign requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate."One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation(朝向),"Mark McGinty,a director at SH Architecture,says.His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas."You have the same building,same set of windows,but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun,it will be really expensive to cool."
Surprisingly,the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings."I don't believe in the new green religion,"Gerner says."Gerner says."Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical.I'm interested in those that work."But he wouldn't mind if some green features inspire students.He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power."You never know what's going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,"he says.

62.How did the architects react to Garner's design requirements?B
A.They lost balance in excitement.
B.they showed strong disbelief.
C.they expressed little interest.
D.they burst into cheers.
63.Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?D
A.Assessment-Prototype-Design-Construction.
B.Assessment-Design-Prototype-Construction.
C.Design-Assessment-Prototype-Construction.
D.Design-Prototype-Assessment-Construction.
64.What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County?C
A.The large size.
B.Limited facilities.
C.The desert climate.
D.Poor natural resources.
65.What dose Gerner think of the ideas of green schools?A
A.They are questionable.
B.They are out of date.
C.They are advanced.
D.They are practical.
