新概念第二册61课课文
新概念第二册61课课文介绍在新概念英语第二册的第61课中，我们将学习关于音乐和艺术的话题。
这个主题可以帮助我们扩大词汇量，了解不同类型的音乐和艺术形式，以及它们对我们的生活的价值。
了解音乐的不同类型音乐是一种普遍存在的艺术形式，它可以通过声音来表达情感和创造美感。
我们可以将音乐分为许多不同的类型，包括古典音乐、流行音乐、摇滚音乐、爵士乐等等。
每种类型的音乐都有其独特的特点和风格。
古典音乐古典音乐是一种经典的音乐形式，它起源于18世纪的欧洲。
这种音乐通常使用乐器来演奏，如钢琴、小提琴、大提琴等等。
它的曲调复杂，结构严谨。
许多古典音乐作品经过岁月的洗礼，成为了经典之作，如贝多芬的《命运交响曲》、莫扎特的《安魂曲》等。
流行音乐流行音乐是一种受到大众喜爱的音乐形式。
它通常以歌曲为主，融合了各种不同的风格和元素，如摇滚、爵士、电子音乐等等。
流行音乐在世界各地都广受欢迎，往往成为年轻人的文化象征。
摇滚音乐摇滚音乐是一种充满力量和激情的音乐形式。
它的起源可以追溯到20世纪50年代的美国，后来发展为一个全球性的文化运动。
摇滚音乐通常以电吉他、贝斯、鼓等乐器为主，节奏强烈，歌词充满对社会问题的关注和抗议。
爵士乐爵士乐是一种富有魅力和独特风格的音乐形式。
它起源于20世纪初的美国，是一种结合了非洲和欧洲音乐元素的创新形式。
爵士乐通常以乐器的即兴演奏和复杂的和声为特点，给人一种自由、灵活的感觉。
艺术对生活的价值音乐和艺术在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色。
它们不仅能够带给我们美的享受，还能够表达情感、传递信息和启发思考。
情感表达音乐和艺术是一种情感的表达方式。
通过音乐和艺术作品，艺术家可以将自己的情感、体验和思考以独特的方式传达给观众。
例如，一首悲伤的音乐可以帮助人们宣泄情感，一幅绘画作品可以引起观者的情感共鸣。
信息传递音乐和艺术也是一种信息传递的方式。
艺术作品可以通过视觉或听觉等方式传递丰富的信息和意义。
例如，一幅政治漫画可以表达对社会问题的看法，一首抗议歌曲可以传达对不公正和不平等的愤怒。

新概念第二册课后题答案详解Lesson61
新概念第二册课后题答案详解Lesson61新概念英语第二册课后习题 Lesson 611. b根据课文第3-4行 The pictures it sent us were very disappointing because its main mirror was faulty! 能够判断出只有b. there was a problem with its main mirror 与课文实际内容相符，其他3个选择都与课文事实不符。
2. a根据课文第10-11行 the Hubble will tell us a great deal about the age and size of the universe 能够判断只有a. will tell us a great deal about the universe 是课文所提及的内容，其他3个选择都不是课文所涉及的内容。
3. c只有c. will be repairing(将要修理)与前一句中的is going to put...right(准备修正)的时态和意义相符合，所以应该选c. 其他3个选择都不够准确。
a. is repairing,b. has already repaired 都与前一句时态不符合;d. to repair 是动词不定式，不能做谓语，不符合语法.4. c只有c. will be taken (将被送上)这个句子才能意思通顺。
因为该句需要被动语态：four astronauts will be taken to the Hubble(宇航员将被送上哈勃)。
其他3个选择都不是被动语态，所以选c.5. a只有a. for 能够引导表示目的的短语，在句子中做目的状语，而其他3个选择b. so that, c. so long as 和 d. which 都只能引导从句而不能跟名词短语，所以选a.6. da. when, 和 c. while 这两个词意思相同,都能够引导时间状语从句,表示当....时,所以这两个选择都应该排除 . b. and能够连接两个句子,使其成为并列句,但该句用and 连接不太合乎逻辑.只有d. because 最合乎题的意思,引导原因状语从句.全句的意思：因为它位于地球的大气层之外,所以哈勃会给我们传送清晰照片.所以我们选择d.7. ca. As soon as , 和b. The moment都能够引导时间状语从句，表示“一……就……”;d. When 能够引导时间状语从句，表示“当……时”，这3个选择都没有明显地表示时间的先后顺序，只有c. Before 表示“在……之前”，使该句更接近课文中第11-12行的原句，所以选c.8. a该句需要选出同前一句中的launched (发射)含义相同的词组。
