Module 4 Music Born in AmericaⅠ.阅读理解(建议用时16′)A[2016·山东师大附中模拟]“Indeed W1，” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to P1 insects as bugs for more than a century，and Americans had already created lightningbug (萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity.S Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like P2.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bugshaped car. The bug could also be a burglar W2 alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment W3 that people use for listening secretly to others' conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”， and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program W4 or another design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome W5 in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering ‘a bug’ in his invented record player.”本文讲述的是“bug”这一单词，词义的演变过程，以及与该词义演变相关的史料。

The level of public interest in Obama's tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run, as the color of a politician's tie is thought to convey ideas of power, trustworthiness and more.Policies of tiesIt may be the least practical item of male dress, but it is arguably the most expressive. In the UK and many other countries around the world, conservative (保守的 ) politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one. In America, the colors go the other way round. The Republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red, and the Democrats with blue. But in spite of this, Bush wears blue ties more often than any other color.What they meanAccording to Sharon Haver, editor of focusonstyle. com, in America the feelings associated with colors overrule theirpolit ical significance. “A g uy who wants to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red, ” Haver says. Unsurprisingly, the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing red ties. But what about blue? According to Haver, “Blue is a softer color…Lo ok at the sky. It's peaceful and calm and trustworthy.”Selecting the right tie for the right occasion●Perfect job interview tiePerhaps no other tiewearing occasion is as important as the job interview. Gilchrist, the fashion expert, advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one. Best choices are solids, stripes or small patterns. An excellent color is burgundy(深红色) or another serious color. Avoid pink or yellow, which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity.Pattern ties, Gilchrist suggests, should be limited to a maximum of three colors. A striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to everyone. Last, Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs.●Datenight tieWhen picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date, spend more time considering color than pattern. According to studies, women are attracted to men wearing the color blue, because blue gives the image of a “stable, faithful, constant, alway s there” person. So what is the worst color to wear on a date?“ Flattened caterpillar (毛虫) yellowgreen, ” according to Gilchrist, “ it will repel both sexes equally.”16．Why are people interested in the tie that Obama wore to the inauguration?A．Because they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies.B．Because they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion.C．Because they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office.D．Because they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like Obama.17．What can we infer about Bush, the former president, from the passage?A．He was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power.B．He was a Republican when he served as president.C．He wore only blue ties and had no ties of alternative colors.D．He wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore.18．The example of “the business tycoon Donald Trump” is given to ________.A．prove that color reflects people's feelings to a certain degreeB．show that Donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive tiesC．tell that Donald is physically strong and can handle everythingD．explain that red is a popular color, especially with businessmen19．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A．Ties can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress.B．Do choose ties carefully before dating, because it is the most important occasion.C．Why to avoid pink or yellow ties in job interviews is that they don't match the atmosphere.D．The more colorful the tie is, the more likely you'll get the job you want.BWhen 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 mere 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 comes 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(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way.Science can explain how the sun rises and sets.The arts explore 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 wayswe 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.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human.The arts do.Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people to realize.20．According to Paragraph 1, students________．A．regard music as a way of entertainmentB．disagree with their parents on educationC．view music as an overlooked subjectD．prefer the arts to science21.In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an exampleto________．A．compare it with rock musicB．show music identifies a societyC．introduce American musical traditions D．prove music influences people's lifestyles22.According to the passage the arts and science________． A．approach the world from different anglesB．explore different phenomena of the worldC．express people's feelings in different waysD．explain what it means to be human differently23.What is the main idea of the passage?A．Music education deserves more attention.B．Music should be of top education priority.C．Music is an effective communication tool.D．Music education makes students more imaginative.。

Module4 Music Born in AmericaⅠ.阅读理解(共两节)第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
According to a handful of studies，a name not only reveals clues about a person's class，education and ethic(种族) origin，it can also influence the bearer of the name and the choices they make in life.Scientists have even drawn conclusions to suggest that people are often drawn to things and people that sound like their own names.These experts claim that implicit egotism(内隐自我主义) is the reason that someone called Dennis might become a dentist or even that a child whose name begins with a B or C may fare worse in school examinations.That a person's name may be bound to his or her fate is far from a new phenomenon.The A ncient Romans promoted the concept ‘nomenest omen’，meaning name is fate.Studies have indeed shown that those with more conservative，Caucasian(白种人的)names are more successful when giving applications for employment.And a recent poll(投票) conducted in Australia revealed that people respond more warmly to colleagues and politicians with names they can easily pronounce.Yet parents nowadays are putting that much more effort into giving their children original names that are largely unfamiliar.Though historically names obtained from the Bible have been passed down through families，in recent days the tendency has been to_think_outside_the_box and consider movies，songs and stories for inspiration.When Britney Spears rose to fame，the slightly changed Brittaney became wildly popular among new parents and recently，thanks to the Twilight series，Isabella has made a comeback.One study found that 30 percent of African American girls born in California during the 1990s were given unique names that they shared with not a single person born in the same year in the same state.Dr.Martin Ford of George Mason University，however，believes a name does not stand for much.He explained to The Week：“Names only have a significant influence when that is the only thing you know about the person.Add a picture，and the impact of the name recedes.Add information about personality，motivation，and ability，and the impact of the name reduces to minimal significance.”1．We can learn from the text that________.A．people always focus on things and persons related to their own name B．someone called Dennis might become a dentist because of his favoriteC．it is a new concept that a person's name is likely to determine his or her fate D．Caucasian names are more equal than those who give applications for employment 解析：选A。

Someone was badly hurt by a bottle thrown out of a window of a building. Actually, if we look around, we will find that things of this kind are not uncommon.Cigarette ends, cans, plastic bags and bottles can be seen here and there.Needless to say, such behavior will ruin our environment and become a bad habit if we do nothing. In my opinion, every one of us should first of all make sure that we don't throw rubbish around ourselves.What is more, we should persuade others not to do so.And finally, rules should be made to stop such behavior.Only in this way can we create a better environment and live more happily.大题巧练40Module 4Music Born in America[授课提示：对应学生用书第359页]一、阅读理解A(2017·江西模拟)Here is a letter from the Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant on The Players' Tribune website on November 30th.“...This season is all I have left to g ive.
