A Hungarian doctor is advising her lung disease patients to consider a non-traditional form of treatment:
singing! And not just singing while making dinner or washing up at night. As part of their treatment, she wants her
patients to sing in public as part of a choir (合唱队)!
The Reuters news agency reports that a new choir named “Breathing for the soul” was formed earlier this year.
The group recently performed in the ballroom of a hotel in Budapest. The members of the choir come from all
across Hungary. Many are sick with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺病), more commonly
called COPD．
Speaking with Reuters, the choir members explained how singing has improved the quality of their lives.
Seventy-four-year-old Maria Aranyi has been suffering with serious asthma, a breathing disorder, for over 10 years.
Aranyi said that she never thought in her life that she would ever sing. But now, singing in the choir provides relief
from what she call the “gray days”. She added that after singing she noticed that she could also breathe more easily.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Many lung disease patients and others with chronic disorders can become less involved with other people as
they grow older. They may be unwilling to go to new places or to try new things. Over time if this continues, they
can become more and more lonely.
Singing with others can be a way to break the cycle of loneliness. Singing with others is not easy. It takes a lot
of practice and offers a challenge—both physical and mental. But the result—hearing your voice blend and
harmonize with others—can be truly uplifting. And for most people, singing in a group is easier than singing alone.
There is strength and a sense of well-being in numbers.
1．What should the patients do according to the doctor’s suggestion?
A．Join the hospital choir. B．Say no to singing along.
C．Try some new treatment. D．Refuse conventional treatments.
2．How did singing benefit Aranyi?
A．It gave her lungs a good workout. B．She became fond of live performances.
C．It provided her with more leisure time. D．She felt more enthusiastic about music.
3．What does the underlined word “blend” mean in the last paragraph?
A．Rise. B．Combine. C．Become clearer. D．Grow louder.
4．What may be the best title for the text?
A．Breaking The Silence B．Singing For Harmony
C．Breathing For The Soul D．Involving Singing Together

For the first time, I started to listen to things I’d never listened to before, like the drums. ___11___ For the
first time I started to really appreciate the power of the bass guitar, and the huge part it played in music. How was it

一、阅读理解
A
（上海·高考真题）For some people,music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what
scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical
notes(音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the
difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal
hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be
difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels
like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why
many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and
social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret,a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered
that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual
condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The
difference is complex, and it doesn't involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds
well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just
can't see. certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt
embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition.
That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say,” No thanks, I'm
amusic,'“says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”
1．Which of the following is true of amusic?
A．Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.
B．They love places where they are likely to hear music.
C．They can easily tell two different songs apart.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂D．Their situation is well understood by musicians.
2．According to Paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who ___________.
A．dislikes listening to speeches
B．can hear anything nonmusical
C．has a hearing problem
D．lacks a complex hearing system
3．In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.
A．her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier
B．she were seventeen years old rather than seventy
C．her problem could be easily explained
D．she were able to meet other amusics
4．What is the passage mainly concerned with?
A．Amusics' strange behaviours.
B．Some people's inability to enjoy music.
C．Musical talent and brain structure.
D．Identification and treatment of amusics.
【分析】这是一篇说明文。讲述了一群特殊的人——“音盲”（没有乐感的人），对他们而言，音乐如同
噪音一般，没有任何乐趣。没有欣赏音乐的能力给他们的生活带来了诸多不便，不过，令人高兴的是，他
们的这种状况目前已得到诊断，他们的大脑与能够欣赏音乐的人的大脑有所不同，而且这种差异很复杂。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段中For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is
what scientists call “amusic.”可知对有些人来说，音乐对他们说没有任何乐趣而言。大约4%的人口是科学家
所说的“音盲”。由此可知，A项“听音乐对他们来说远非享受”符合对音盲的描述，故选A。
2．推理判断题。根据第三段中The difference is complex, and it doesn't involve defective hearing. Amusics can
understand other nonmusical sounds well.可知两者的区别很复杂，并不涉及听力缺陷。音盲可以很好地理解
其他非音乐的声音。由此可推知，“听力有缺陷”的人可能是指一个听力有障碍的人。故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”
可知“我真希望我是在十七岁而不是七十岁的时候学会这么说的。”由此可知，Margaret表达了她的愿望，
希望自己在音乐方面的问题能早点得到诊断。故选A。
4．主旨大意题。文章的第一段告诉读者大约4%的人音乐对于他们而言，没有任何乐趣可言，他们没有辨
别与再现音调的能力；第二段讲述歌曲对于没有乐感的人来说听起来像噪音，以及由此给他们的生活带来
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂的不便；第三段分析了原因，是因为他们的大脑与能欣赏音乐的人的大脑不同造成的，但这又不同于有听
力障碍的人；最后一段以Margaret为例，说明他们的这种状况最终得以诊断。可知这篇文章主要讲的是有
些人不能欣赏音乐。故选B。

（北京·高考真题）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 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 as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a
Schubert song. The jazz 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(视角) 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.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
