A
Good morning. The program today is about music. The word "music" comes from the Greek
word "muse". The Muses are the goddesses of the arts. Music is only one of the arts. It is like the
spoken language, but is uses sounds. Today's program brings together music from different corners
of the world. Who invented music? Who sang the first song? No one knows exactly the answers to
these questions. But we know that music plays an important part in almost everyone's life. Babies
and young children love to hear people singing to them. When they are a little older, they like to sing
the songs they have heard. When children go to school, their world of music grows. In the middle
grades students take music lessons. When they reach high school, they become interested in listening
to pop music.
The records we have chosen for you today are form American country music, Indian music, pop
music and so on. Music has meaning for everyone. It can make people happy or it can make them
sad. In this program we shall study the language of music. We shall be trying to find out more about
how music works. We shall try to find out how music says what people feel.
Now, here comes the music today, I shall explain why they are all good music…
1.The first paragraph is mainly about the ____.
A. styles of music B. history of music C. taste of music D. knowledge of music
2.The speaker is probably ____.
A. a host B. a singer C. a dancer D. a teacher
3.Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Muses invented music.
B. Music can bring people some feelings.
C. Music was from a Greek village.D. Everyone is interested in pop music.
4.What is NOT the purpose of this music program?
A. To study the language of music.
B. To learn more about the music.
C. To give a complete background to the music.
D. To give people some music to listen to.
B
Multiple studies link music study to academic achievement. But what is it about serious music
training that seems to be associated with huge success in other fields? I put the question to
outstanding professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious past
lives as musicians.
The phenomenon extends beyond the math-music association. Strikingly, many high achievers
told me music opened up the pathways to creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music
training sharpens other qualities: Collection. The ability to listen. A way of thinking that joins
together separate ideas. The power to focus on the present and the future simultaneously.
For many of the high achievers I spoke with, music functions as a "hidden language", as Mr.
Wolfensohn calls it, one that enhances the ability to connect separate or conflicting ideas. When he
ran the World Bank, Mr. Wolfensohn traveled to more than 100countries, often taking in local
performers, which helped him understand "the culture of people, as distinct from their balance
sheet."
It is in that context that the connection between math and music grabs the most attention. Both
are at heart modes of expression. Bruce Kovner, the founder of the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxton
Associaes, says he sees similarities between his piano playing and investing strategy; As he says,
both "relate to pattern cognition, and some people extend these patterns across different senses."
For Roger McNamee whose Elevation Partners is perhaps best known or its early investment in
Facebook, "music and technology have converged," he says. He became expert on Facebook by
using it to promote his hand, Moonalice, and now is focusing on video by live-streaming its
concerts. He says musicians and top professionals share "the almost desperate need to dive deep."
This capacity to obsess seems to unite top performers in music and other fields.
"I've always believed the reason I've gotten ahead is by outworking other people," he says. It's a skill learned by "playing that solo one more time, working on that one little section one more
time," and it translates into "working on something over and over again, or double-checking or
triple-checking," He adds, "there is nothing like music to teach you that eventually if you work hard
enough, it does get better. You see the results."
That's an observation worth remembering at a time when music as a serious pursuit is in decline
in this country.
5.Music training can enhance all of the following abilities except ____.
A. handling the present with a long-range vision
B. thinking from other people's perspective
C. listening to different opinions patiently
D. identifying connection between different ideas
6.Bruce Kovner sees a parallel between music and ____.
A. hedge fund B. patterns C. different senses D. mathematics
7.By saying "music and technology have converged", Roger McNamee means ____.
A. musical techniques are directly used in managing business
B. advanced technology makes sound better than before
C. Facebook has become a platform for promoting music albums
D. technology has increased the channels by which music is promoted
8.The "observation"（underlined, Para. 7）in the last paragraph refers to ____.
A. the claim that music is the key to success
B. the belief that results determine the value of music
C. the idea that hard work keeps getting you ahead
D. the proposal that one should pursue music seriously

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Plogging
Plogging is a new way to jog while cleaning up the planet. It's a craze that began in Sweden in
2016 and the motivation behind it includes reducing the load of plastic litter in our environment, as
well as keeping fit while running. ____9. If you love outdoor exercise, enjoy exercising with others, and care about removing litter from our environment, then this might just be the sport for you.
Make good preparations before plogging. Dress suitably for the environment in which you are
running. This will vary depending on the weather and surroundings, but the basics are comfortable
running clothes and closed-toe running shoes. Suitable gloves are a wise and useful addition, as
picking up litter can be dangerous in some situations. ____10. This might be a standard trash bag,
easy to carry and capable of containing litter that might have sharp edges.
Organize your plogging group. If you're lucky enough to have ploggers already in your area,
seek them out. Join up and make new friends with a shared interest. Check out such meeting groups
at Meetup or ask at a local sports store to find out what opportunities exist where you live. If you
don't have a group, create one. Use social media, notices on bulletin boards, or place signs in the
windows of sports stores to find fellow ploggers. ____11.
Collect safely. One key suggestion for staying safe while collecting litter is to avoid picking up
broken glass or sharp items. If you must collect such an item, only do so when you can find a very
safe way to collect it without harming yourself. If in doubt, leave it and get better equipment to
remove it. ____12. If an item of litter presents a potential safety risk, try to mark the item clearly to
encourage people to avoid it.
____13. It is a way of combining individual achievement via exercise with community and
environmental care. You're part of the growing movement of people who are giving back to the
world at the same time as honoring self care, a sustainable and healthy way to balance your life. This
could be a fantastic opportunity to show people that individual action makes a big difference.
A.Taking some photos during the process is also necessary.
B.You can also ask for assistance from the local authorities.
C.Usually performed as part of a group run, it's also a social exercise.
D.You also need to find a suitable carry bag for collecting the litter in.
E.Plogging is a great way to feel motivated as it has more than one benefit.
F.If you find a natural area with litter problem, this might be a suitable place.
G.With some advertising effort, you are likely to connect with a few interested people.
