About 20 years ago, Daniel Hoffman, a classically trained violinist met a young musician playing in the town
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
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂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
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
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂B．the pleasure in learning traditional music
C．the technique of instrument playing
D．the importance of famous artists
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小提琴家Daniel Hoffman尝试学习如何演奏世界各地不同风
格的小提琴，并将这段经历拍成了纪录片。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段“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.
(坐在小提琴手同伴的摩托车后座上，霍夫曼穿梭于城市的后街，然后开始学习安达卢西亚音乐，这是北非
的古典音乐。)”和第二段“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’. (这段经历让我产生了一个想法：在短短一周的时间
里，尝试学习如何演奏世界各地不同风格的小提琴，会是什么感觉?哦。是的，在那个周末，开一场音乐
会。他甚至为“音乐极限运动”这个概念取了个名字。)”可知，霍夫曼关于音乐极限运动的想法来自于对
北非当地音乐的探索。故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据第五段“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. (霍夫曼希望这部电影能成为一系列短纪录片的第一部，
展示他如何学习以各种风格拉小提琴，包括南印度、瑞典、希腊、罗马尼亚和西弗吉尼亚州的民间音
乐。)”可知，这个系列纪录片记录了霍夫曼学习各种小提琴风格的经历。故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据第六段“‘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.’ (“最大的笑话是fiddle和violin有什么区别?”，传统长笛演奏家尼尔·基根说：
“是你在上面演奏的音乐让它成为爱尔兰音乐、英国音乐、法国音乐、古典音乐、爵士乐或其他任何音乐。
是我们如何想象它，如何通过它创造，成就并赋予了它个性。”)”可推知，小提琴的价值在于多元的艺术
表现，你在上面演奏的音乐赋予它个性，“否则，它就是一根木柴”，所以纪录片的标题“Otherwise, It’s
Just Firewood”强调了多元艺术表达的力量。故选A。

（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
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
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂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.
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述UNESCO把4月30号定为国际爵士乐日，希望意识到爵士乐
的价值，但实际收效甚微。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的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.可知，UNESCO把4月30号定为国际爵士乐日是为了让人
们重视爵士乐，意识到它的重要性以及它作为连接各文化的纽带之声的潜在功能，也就是为了让人们意识
到爵士乐的价值。故选D。
2．代词指代题。根据前文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可知，尽管UNESCO为
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂爵士乐设了纪念日，但美国的爵士乐听众依然在减少，并且年龄在老化，爵士乐没能将年轻一代人连接起
来。再结合It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that(是Jason Moran的工作是帮助改变那一情况)可推测，
that指代的是前文中爵士乐在年轻一代人中失去吸引力的现象。故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据第五段中的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可知，Moran认为现在爵士乐不能
以1908或1958年的方式来呈现，因为世界已经不同了，所以爵士乐必须不断进步，说明随着时代的 发展，
爵士乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选C。
4．标题选择题。通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO为提高人们对爵士乐的重视而设立爵士日， 但实
际收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步，否则将失去对人们的吸引力，因此本文主要是探
索爵士乐的未来，故选A。

（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.
