At about 22:00 on February 4, 2022, at the opening ceremony（幕式）of the 24th Winter Olympics, a children’s
choir（合唱团）from Hebei Province sang the Olympic theme song. Deng Xiaolan, who was born in Yijiazhuang
Village, Fuping, took the children from a small village to the center of the world stage.
When Deng came to Malan Primary School in 2003, she asked the children, “What song can you sing?” To her
surprise, the children were too shy to sing a song. Deng was very sad. At that time, she decided to do something. “I
want children in my hometown to have music in their childhood,” she said.
Deng came to Malan Village again and started to work as a music teacher in 2004. It took Deng at least seven
hours to reach the village from Beijing. Although she met many difficulties, Deng was happy to find that the children
were very interested in music and most of them were good at music.
Over the past 18 years, she spent at least half a year each year teaching music. It is Deng’s wish to give her
students a concert in a natural environment. In 2013, Deng started concert in Malan Village to give her young
students a chance to feel the magic of music.
When she watched the performance at the opening ceremony of the 24th Winter Olympics, Deng said, “Thechildren in the mountains have bright eyes, like the stars in the sky. Their voice is like the sound of nature, and their
love for singing is moving（令人感动的）.”
24．What is the main purpose（目的）of writing Paragraph 2?
A．To introduce the children to the world.
B．To show how much Deng loves music.
C．To ask people to help the poor children.

Many people think of traditional arts, they think of music. And, in China one of the most famous traditional
artists is Tan Dun.
Tan Dun was born in a small village near Changsha, Hunan in 1957. He spent his early childhood with his
grandmother. He worked as a violin player and arranger for a Beijing Opera troupe(京剧团). At the age of nineteen,
he heard Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony(贝多芬第五交响乐) for the first time and decided to be a composer(作曲家).
When he was twenty, he studied music in Beijing. In the middle of 1980s, Tan Dun had a further study on music at
Columbia University. Since then, he has lived in New York.
Tan Dun once said in an interview that he only studied Eastern music before the age of twenty, and after twenty he
started to be educated in Western music. And by the age of thirty, he deeply understood both traditions. The educational
experience gave him the power to create excellent works that connect the traditional and the modern, the East andthe West.
Tan Dun has two great inspirations(灵感) for his music. The first is to join together Western and Chinese music.
For example, his music for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 came from an old Chinese song and used both traditional
Chinese and Western musical tools. His second is to use natural sounds in his music. For example, he created a piece
called The Water Concerto in 1998. All the sounds used in the music are made with water.
With his music, Tan Dun tries to find the balance of the music between the East and the West as well as the
music and nature.
28．In which year did Tan Dun make a decision to be a composer?
A．In 1957. B．In 1976. C．In 1980. D．In 1998.
29．Which of the following about Tan Dun is NOT correct?
A．Tan Dun tries to find the balance in his music.
B．Tan Dun didn’t start to study western music until twenty.
C．Tan Dun is one of the most famous traditional artists in China.
D．Tan Dun created the Olympic music with modern western tools.
30．What does the underlined phrase “the educational experience” in the third paragraph refer to?
A．He spent his early childhood with his grandmother.
B．When he was twenty, he studied music in Beijing.
C．His further study on music at a foreign university.
D．His study background in both China and America.
31．Which are the two inspirations for Tan Dun’s music?
① join together western and Chinese music ② an old Chinese song
③ use natural sound in music ④ use water sounds in music
A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．②④

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft
music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality(质) and quantity(量). This works for
sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less
during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects(效果) overnight, though. It could
take as many as three weeks to see some improvements.Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may have something to do with the
relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate(心率)
and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats(节拍) per(每) minute (bpm) works best. Classical,
jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may
need to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by
entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume(音量) right. Make sure that the final piece is
one that fades out. Or, you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
It is very important to get enough highquality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then,
just prepare to fall asleep.
32．According to the passage, soft music can ________.
A．let people notice the effects overnight
B．make people wake up more times
C．cause people to feel more tired
D．help people fall asleep faster
33．We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.
A．all popular songs should have a relaxing effect
B．soft music may do harm to our hearts in the long run
C．lower heart rates and slower breathing can help us to fall asleep
D．we have known the reasons clearly why soft music can help people sleep
34．The underlined words “fades out” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “________”.
A．turns on B．puts away
C．gets off D．disappears slowly
35．According to the passage, how can we work out the number of beats a song has in a minute?
A．By comparing it with a 70bpm song.
B．By entering the song’s title into songbpm.com.
C．By finding out whether it can help us fall asleep.
D．By counting our heart rates while listening to it.

The power of music
No one could say that Katy Perry is an ordinary artist. Her songs are not just about sweet romance and heartbreaks,
but usually have bigger and more empowering themes. Take the songs Firework (2010) and Roar (2013) for
example, where Perry sings about being our own master and discovering our true value.
But actually, these themes are not daring enough, at least not for Perry. Earlier this year, she announced her new
album Witness, together with a new idea for pop music. Perry calls her new style “purposeful pop”, meaning pop
with a social and political message. It seems that Perry has become tired of simply encouraging people. Now, she
wants to educate them politically as well.
Part of her inspiration came during the 2016 US presidential election between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton.
Perry was a very public supporter of Clinton because Trump was a candidate with a record of disrespectful behavior
toward women.The best example of Perry’s purposeful pop is probably the song Chained to the Rhythm, in which Perry criticizes
people’s obsession with their own ideas and the fact they are unwilling to think more critically about the world. As
the song’s lyrics say, “Aren’t you lonely? Up there in utopia. Where nothing will ever be enough. Happily numb. So
comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble. So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble.”
Even though the election is long over and Trump won, Perry’s political message seems to be continuing.
But when it comes to the concept of purposeful pop, it is, in fact, something a lot of pop stars have been doing
for a while. Beyonce’s 2016 song Formation, for example, deals with various social problems such as the dispute
between white policemen and black citizens in the US, hoping to create change through music.
“Formation isn’t just about police brutality—it’s about the entirety of the black experience in America in 2016,
which includes standards of beauty, disempowerment, culture and the shared parts of our history,” wrote Jenna
Wortham in The New York Times.
To singers like Perry and Beyonce, songs are not just entertainment, but part of a movement. It may have seemed
strange when this concept was first introduced, but it’s on its way to becoming normal.
“The truth is, not speaking up in 2017 means you’re part of the problem. It’s no longer OK to be quiet and
complacent,” wrote Shannon Carlin on entertainment news website Bustle.
