About 20 years ago, Daniel Hoffman, a classically trained violinist met a young musician playing in the town
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂square in Marrakech, an ancient city in Morocco. They communicated in the little French they both knew, but their
main common language was music. On the back of a motorbike of the fellow violinist, Hoffman weaved through
the back streets of the city and then learned his first lessons in Andalusian music, the classical music of North
Africa.
That experience gave birth to an idea: What would it be like to try to learn how to play different violin styles
around the world in just one week? Oh. yes, and at the end of that week, play a concert. He even got a name for the
concept “musical extreme sports”.
It took him almost two decades to launch that dream with a friend, who introduced him to the wonders of
Kickstarter, a funding platform for creative projects. Up to now, the dream has taken the form of a new
documentary currently airing on American public television stations called “Otherwise, It’s Just Firewood.”
In the documentary, Hoffman travels to County Clare, Ireland, where he takes lessons with James Kelly, a
master Irish violin player, for less than a week and then performs together with him in front of an audience, many
of whom are star Irish musicians.
The film is what Hoffman hopes will be the first of an eventual series of short documentaries, showing him
learning to play the violin in a variety of styles, including the folk music of south India, Sweden, Greece, Romania,
and West Virginia.
That would add to his extensive repertoire (全部曲目), which already includes Balkan, Middle Eastern, and
Turkish styles. “The big joke is what’s the difference between the fiddle and the violin? It’s the person who plays
it,” says Niall Keegan, a traditional flute player. “It’s the music you make on it that makes it Irish or English or
French or classical or jazz or whatever else. It’s how we imagine it and how we create through it that make it and
give it character.”
“Otherwise, it’s just firewood,” he says, words that became the film’s title.
1．Where does Hoffman’s idea of musical extreme sports come from?
A．His exploration of the local music.
B．His cooperation with the young violinist.
C．His sightseeing tour on a motorbike seat.
D．His constantly changing taste in violin styles.
2．According to the passage, the series of documentaries ________.
A．help Hoffman to become a master violin player
B．are funded by American public television stations
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C．introduce different styles of musicians around the world
D．record Hoffman’s experience in learning various violin styles
3．The title of the documentary “Otherwise, It’s Just Firewood” is used to emphasize ________.
A．the power of diversified artistic expression
B．the pleasure in learning traditional music
C．the technique of instrument playing
D．the importance of famous artists

（全国·高考真题）Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans
to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a
unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the
music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to
widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter
Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost.
“The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way
the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put
it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the
recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on
how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about
our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I
want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”
1．Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A．To remember the birth of jazz.
B．To protect cultural diversity.
C．To encourage people to study music.
D．To recognize the value of jazz.
2．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Jazz becoming more accessible.
B．The production of jazz growing faster.
C．Jazz being less popular with the young.
D．The jazz audience becoming larger.
3．What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
A．It will disappear gradually.
B．It remains black and white.
C．It should keep up with the times.
D．It changes every 50 years.
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Exploring the Future of Jazz.
B．The Rise and Fall of Jazz.
C．The Story of a Jazz Musician.
D．Celebrating the Jazz Day.

更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂（山东·高考真题）George Gershwin, born in 1998, was one of America’s greatest composers. He published
his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These
plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as
ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be
considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special
concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he
realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which
he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when
they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲) with the well-known musician Nadia
Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While
there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家) were divided over the
music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in
Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine
years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the
man and all the music he might have still written.
5．Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________.
A．written about New Yorkers
B．Composed for Paul Whiteman
C．played mainly in the countryside
D．performed in various ways
6．What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?
A．It attracted more people to theatres.
B．It proved jazz could be serious music.
C．It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.
D．It caused a debate among jazz musicians.
7．What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A．He created one of his best works B．He studied with Nadia Boulanger
C．He argued with French critics D．He changed his music style
8．What do we learn from the last paragraph?

B．The death of Gershwin was widely reported.
C．A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.
D．Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.
9．Which of the following best describes Gershwin?
