Module 4 课时跟踪练(一) Introduction & Reading —Pre-readingⅠ.阅读理解ASamuel Osmond is a 19yearold law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me — I hear the notes and can bear them in mind — each and every note,” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Sam uel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory —I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies. 语篇解读:本文为记叙文。

At other times I would __3__ like a rabbit trying different side roads at a dangerous __4__ hoping to reach that banner a little faster. __5__,I began to see that no matter how long I raced towards it, the banner was never any __6__. I finally decided one day to __7__ and take a break.

It had been with me as I raced towards that stupid banner. I just didn’t have the __12__ to see it.There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “Tension is what you think you should be. __13__ is who you are.” Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the __14__ life we think we should have and __15__ the life we have now.

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.
