My mother worked at Sears, a big department store. But they were both musicians.”Michael’s father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent, and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were to stand out, they would have to be the best.Practice makes perfect. And the Jackson boys practiced! Gradually the group took shape. Then word of this group began to get around. Thus Michael got a chance to do some solo(独唱)songs. In the following years, Michael was always on the top. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million!When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career(生涯)—acting. “I plan to star in movies,” he told his friends, “but of course, my first love is music.”Michael wrote a lot of his own songs. “Songs came about in the strangest ways,” he said. “I’ll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head. And then I put it down on the paper.”Still, with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm. “I just do a different job from other people,” he said, “but it doesn’t make me think I’m better than other people.”To be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him!4.

Unit5 Music单元自主综合测试时间:100分钟满分:120分选择题部分第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

AThe blues was born in the Mississippi Delta (三角洲) area sometime in the late 1800s. The music is rooted in African American slave spiritual and work songs.Life was hard for black people in the US. Slavery technically had ended, but poverty and unjust laws kept people from full freedom. Some former slaves stayed in the South and continued to work on farms, often for their former owners. Much of the work was outside in the fields, in the unforgiving heat of the Mississippi sun.Roger Stolle is a Mississippi blues historian. He says a culture of singing helped people deal with the hardships. People sang spirituals at church and work songs in the fields to make the days go by. Over time,this music developed into what people now call “the blues”.As the blues grew in popularity, musicians began to perform around the Delta. Some, like B.B. King or John Lee Hooker, would travel to the city of Memphis, Tennessee, to establish professional music careers.The blues is both American and foreign. The blues historian Scott Barretta says many elements of the blues—including singing styles, rhythm and instrument playing—are African and were brought to the US by those who had been enslaved. Baretta also notes the patterns to the lyrics. “The blues follows an A, A, B lyrical style ... What we mean by that, is that when you perform the blues, you're often singing a verse, repeating the verse, and then there's an answer line. That's a style of music which we didn't really see before around 1900.”When it comes to the words, many musicians sing about difficulties from their own life stories. Holmes is among them. “I don't sing about lies, I tell the truth! ... True blues, the lyrics are absolutely true. They sing about life experience. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but they didn't lie.” Eighty­five­year­old bluesmusician Leo “Bud” Welch agrees. “Well, the blues isn't nothing but some good men or women feeling bad. It's about life.”1.Why does the author write the second paragraph?A.To introduce the background of the blues.B.To describe the hard life of slaves.C.To tell the readers about the weather in the South.D.To discuss the social problems in the South.2.What do we know about the blues?A.The blues didn't exist until 1900.B.The blues was developed by American singers.C.The blues helped people make the hard days go by.D.The blues reflects the sad feelings of people.3.We can infer from the passage that________.A.the hard life in Mississippi Delta gave birth to the bluesB.the blues is based on the musicians' true life storiesC.black people had no freedom in the US at that timeD.the blues is a music style that is popular in the USBHis talent and charm have made him the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world. He played in the grand Beijing Olympic opening ceremony in 2008, watched by a TV audience of 5 billion.Lang Lang is the first Chinese pianist to play with the world's top orchestras,making his debut at the Carnegie Hall in New York at 18, while still a student.Lang Lang's charm and fondness for sharp clothes make him a natural fit to represent China's new international image. According to the British newspaper the Times, “The Lang Lang's effect” is responsible for driving 36 million Chinese children to learn the piano.Now in China children are learning Chopin and Western orchestras are playing sold-out tours across Chinese cities. But can China introduce its own music to the west? Lang is trying. His cooperation with the London Symphony Orchestras this month includes a performance of Dragon Songs, an album of traditional Chineseclassics.Behind the international recognition, however, is a fascinating story of a gifted child. Lang grew up with his father's own musical ambition and high expectations. It is not hard to imagine how boring it must be to practice the piano every day. Lang said that he once hated his hands and the piano. He injured his right hand six years ago and had to rest. “That was the best month,” he says, without hesitation. “I had a date. I saw a Broadway show and saw Britney Spears in concert.”4.Which of the following is NOT the reason why Lang Lang is the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world?A.He has as many as 5 billions fans in China.B.He played in the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony.C.He is the first Chinese pianist to play with the world's top orchestras.D.He plays the piano so well and has a good international image.5.The underlined word “debut” in the second paragraph probably means ________.A.first class B.first performanceC.first plan D.first choice6.From the passage we can learn that ________.A.Lang is making efforts to promote Chinese music to the worldB.Lang didn't play the piano well when he was littleC.he was happy to practice the piano every dayD.he injured his right hand carelessly six years ago7.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A.The sad story of Lang's father.B.Lang's gift from his father.C.Lang's special childhood life.D.Lang's date with his girlfriend.CWhat do you think of 80s pop music? Do the names George Michael, Madonna and Michael Jackson sound familiar?Well, these are just some of the names that were well-known in the music scene P of the 80s and early 90s. The 80s pop musicscene was an important step to the popularity of present day music. A new wave in the music scene was introduced, which made such music styles as punk rock, rap music and the MTV popular. Although it was an end to the old 60s and 70s styles, it was also the beginning of something big. The popularity of music videos meant that artists now replaced their guitar-based music with visual displays. A new wave of artists came on the scene and the entire industry developed quickly.The most famous 80s pop music video is Michael Jackson's Thriller. Introduced in 1982, few people can forget the video not only because of its never before seen images, but also because of the popularity it received. Think too of how 80s pop music changed the lives of people who grew up in the 80s. Ask a young man today to tell you the names of the “New Kids on the Block” and he will start talking about the neighbor kids who just moved in. These are not the answers you might have heard in the 80s. Though today's young men do not recognize how cool 80s pop music was, most people will always remember it for what it was and these are happy memories they will always love.Some of the 80s pop music legends include Madonna, U2, AeroSmith and of course the King of Pop Michael Jackson. Let's not forget Prince, Tina Turner, Phil Collins and Motown's Lionel Ritchie. Some of these musicians played music that has stood the test of time. Undoubtedly,the 80s pop music scene will live on for many more years to come.8.What is the text mainly about?A.The characters of 80s pop music.B.The effects of 80s pop music.C.80s pop music's steps to popularity.D.What made 80s pop music popular.9.80s pop music mainly includes the following styles EXCEPT ________.A.rap music B.the MTVC.guitar-based music D.punk rock10.Michael Jackson's Thriller impressed people so deeply mainly because________.A.it was made into a music videoB.he sang it in a special styleC.it changed the lives of peopleD.it left people with happy memories11.The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers that ________.A.80s pop music is now out of dateB.80s pop music has many faultsC.80s pop music is and will remain popularD.we shouldn't forget the great musicians of the 80sDIn all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts find that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves spatial (空间的) reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions (分数).Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdale and hippocampus.

On the Twentieth CenturyBMichael Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old. As is known to all, the road to fame and fortune is a long, hard one.Michael remembers those early years when he was young. “My father was a machine operator,” he explained, “and he worked at a steel plant. My mother worked at Sears, a big department store. But they were both musicians.”Michael’s father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent, and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were to stand out, they would have to be the best.Practice makes perfect. And the Jackson boys practiced! Gradually the group took shape. Then word of this group began to get around. Thus Michael got a chance to do some solo(独唱)songs. In the following years, Michael was always on the top. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million!When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career(生涯)—acting. “I plan to star in movies,” he told his friends, “but of course, my first love is music.”Michael wrote a lot of his own songs. “Songs came about in the strangest ways,” he said. “I’ll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head. And then I put it down on the paper.”Still, with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm. “I just do a different job from other people,” he said, “but it doesn’t make me think I’m better than other people.”To be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him!4.

The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities(无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration(合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.8.
