Module 3 Music
（一）The Music Within 心灵深处的音乐生命是什么？这是个见仁见智的问题。

生命在四季变换中流转演绎，一季有一季的风情。

或许春有骤雨连绵，夏有骄阳似火，秋有落叶寂寥，冬有风雪凛冽……
Life ... What is it? 生命……是什么？
See it in the colors of autumn，看呀，生命是绚烂的秋色，
A gentle snowfall in winter，轻盈的冬雪，
A sudden shower in spring，春天的骤雨，
The radiance of a summer day. 夏日的暖阳。

Behold it in the laughter 瞧呀，生命是童叟的欢笑。

Of the young and the old. 体味生命，
Know of it in a surge of hope，怀着满心的希望，
The blessings that are bountiful(丰富的). 带着丰盛的祝福。

What is life? 生命是什么？
It is joy，awareness，是喜乐，是领悟，
And the music within. 是心灵深处的音乐。

（二）那些不喜欢音乐的人 Those Who Don’t Like Music Everybody likes music，right?
人人都爱音乐，对吧？
I mean，no matter who you are，where you live，or what your ethnic or cultural background is，people everywhere derive some pleasure from listening to their favorite music.
不管你是谁，住在哪，来自什么种族，拥有什么文化背景，听自己喜爱的音乐都会感到快乐。

Apparently，though，some people are simply not capable of enjoying music.
但是，很明显，有些人就是无法欣赏音乐。

This not because they can’t exper ience pleasure at all.
这并不是因为他们根本无法体会快乐的感觉。

People who don’t ＂get＂ music typically enjoy sex，food，money and many other pleasurable things.
那些不爱音乐的人一般喜爱性，食物，金钱和其他能够带来快了的事物。

Just not music.只是对音乐不感兴趣罢了。

According to at least one study，it’s not
necessarily due to amusia a condition that hampers
the brain’s ability to process music.
至少有一项研究显示，失音症不一定是问题的根源
所在。

People with what’s being called ＂specific
musical anhedonia＂ have no trouble making sense
of or hearing music properly.
那些患有特殊音乐快感缺失症的人是可以理解或
正常聆听音乐的。

They’r e just indifferent to it.
他们只是对音乐没有什么特别反应而已。

In the study，researchers at the University of Barcelona examined thirty subjects split into three groups.
在该项研究中，巴塞罗那大学的研究人员将30个研究对象分为三组。

Each participant listened to different types of music and rated how much they enjoyed them.
每个参与者要求听不同类型的音乐并告知他们喜爱的程度有多少。

They were also made to respond to questions in order to win or lose between twenty-five cents and nearly three dollars to test if the participants were only immune to music，or immune to other ＂pleasures＂，like the prospect of winning money.
同时，他们还需要回答问题，如果只是对音乐免疫，那么参与者可以赢得25美分到接近3美元的奖励，如果对其他能够带来愉悦感的因素免疫的话，就得不到奖励，比如赢钱能带来愉悦感。

Meanwhile，the scientists measured their emotional response to each task by
analyzing heart rate and how well their skin conducted electricity.
同时，科学家们通过分析心率和皮肤导电性测量出参与者对每项任务产生的情感反映。

And the researchers found that some of the participants had no emotional reaction to the music even when they were emotionally stimulated by the money incentive task.
研究人员发现，一些参与者对音乐没有任何情感反应，甚至是在金钱刺激的情况下。

The res earchers don’t know why some people derive no pleasure from music.
目前研究人员还不知道为什么有些人无法从音乐中获得愉悦感。

Further research may provide an answer.
想要找出答案还需要进一步的研究。

特别提示
lose表示＂输，失败＂时，可以作及物动词或不及物动词，但是当表示＂丢失，失去，损失＂等意义时，作及物动词，因此，当所丢失/失去的东西作主语时，要用be lost。

lost, missing和gone
(1)lost用于修饰物时是＂丢失了的＂之意。

如：a lost pen, one's lost youth；用于修饰人时是＂迷茫的，不知所措的＂。

(2)missing有＂失踪的，行踪不明的＂之意，因此＂小孩失踪＂应用missing。

修饰物时，意为＂缺少的，不在的＂。

2.influence n.影响；感化；势力；有影响的人(事)vt.影响；改变。

affect vt.主要指一时的影响，着重影响的动作，可指一般意义的影响（不分好坏），也可指不良的影响。

His illness is going worse.他的病情正在恶化。

go mad 发疯go wild发狂
go wrong (机器)出故障go bad (食物)变质
go cold 变冷go white变白
go blind 失明go green 变绿
特别提示
系动词go及其他类似系动词在近几年高考中的考查率呈明显增长趋势。

对它们的判断选择多数情况下没有明显的语法理由，而是一种语言感觉，这更能体现＂语言综合运用＂的考查
目标。

遇到类似的题目，除了坚实的语感基础外，建议同学们从以下几个因素考虑它们的不同：
1.遇到颜色的变化，用go或turn。

如：
☛The traffic light went got/became red just as he was driving to the crossings.他刚开到叉路口，这时交通信号灯变成红色了。

2.表示从好的状态变成坏的状态时用go, come, fall。

如：
☛Her buttons have come loose.她的纽扣变松散了。

3.指人的情绪或身体状态的变化、天气的变化或社会的变化，多用become与get。

如：
☛Hearing what he said， the teacher became/got angry.听到他所说的话，老师生气了。

4.表示身份的变化时，用become或turn，不过turn后面接抽象名词作表语。

如：
☛ He finally turned a famous director.他最终成为了一名著名的导演。

5.表示一种被动的遭遇或经历时，用get＋过去分词。

如：get paid得到报酬，get changed 换衣服，get punished受到惩罚
6.表示逐渐积累的状态时，用grow。

如：
☛The smoke grew turned heavier and thicker.烟变得越来越深厚了。

7.表示持续的状态，用keep， stay， remain。

如：
☛The weather will stay turn/go fine until next weekend.天气将一直好到下个周末。

重点句型剖析
1.Having worked there for 30 years, Haydn moved to London, where he was very successful.
在那儿工作了30年后，海顿移居伦敦，并在那里取得了巨大成功。

本句中having worked there for 30 years是现在分词的完成式，在句中作时间状语，相当于时间状语从句after he had worked there for 30 years。

现在分词的完成式表示的动作发生在主句谓语动词表示的动作之前，其否定形式是在其前加not。

特别提示
当分词表示的动作与谓语动词表示的动作几乎同时发生时，通常用分词的一般式而不用完成式。

2.By the time he was 14, Mozart had composed many pieces for the harpsichord, piano and violin, as well as orchestras.
莫扎特到14岁的时候，不仅已经谱写了很多管弦乐曲，还谱写了许多拨弦键琴曲、钢琴曲和小提琴曲。

(1)①句中by the time引导时间状语从句，这时主句常用完成时。

☛I had finished reading my third book by the end of last month.到上个月末我已读第三本书了。

☛We will have graduated by the end of next month.下个月末我们将毕业了。

②by the time＋一般过去时，主句时态为过去完成时。

by the time＋一般现在时，主句时态用(一般将来时或)将来完成时。

(2)as well as在此表示＂不仅……而且……＂之意。

①(除……之外)又，不但……而且……(A as well as B为主语时，谓语动词要随A的人称、数而变化。

)
☛He speaks Spanish as well as English and French.他不但会讲英语和法语，也会讲西班牙语。

②和……一样……
He, as well as you, has failed in this exam.他和你一样，这次考试不及格。

③与……同样好，不比……差
☛She cooks as well as her mother does.她烧菜烧得跟她母亲一样好。

3.However, it was Haydn who encouraged Beethoven to move to Vienna.然而，鼓励贝多芬移居维也纳的正是海顿。

强调句型是英语中常见的句子结构，其基本结构为＂It＋is/was＋被强调部分＋that/who ＋句子其余部分＂。

(1)在强调句型中，连接词一般用that。

如被强调的部分指人时，可用who/that，其他一律用that，不能用which, where, when等。

(2)在强调结构中，无论被强调的是人还是物，是单数还是复数，be动词一律用is/was形式，如果原句的谓语动词是一般过去时，就用was；如果是一般现在时，就用is。

(3)强调句的一般疑问句是将is/was提前，＂Was it...that...？＂，强调句的特殊疑问句形式，须将陈述句变成一般疑问句，再在句首加上疑问词，即＂疑问词(被强调部分)＋is/was ＋it＋that＋句子其余部分＂。

(4)until引导的时间状语从句可以用在强调句型中，其结构为＂It is/was not until...that...＂。

(5)当强调的是主语时，其谓语动词应和被强调的人和物保持人称、数的一致。

如果被强调
的主语是人称代词，宜用主格。

(6)强调句型与定语从句、主语从句和状语从句的区别：一般来说，如果把句子中的＂It
is/was...that＂去掉，稍加调整语序，能还原成完整句子，且句子意思依然完整，则为强
调句型；否则，应为其他句式。

记叙文父亲的一次钢琴表演经历334 ★★★★☆15分钟（2014福建卷）From my second grade on，there was one event I feared
every year: the piano recital(独奏演唱会). A recital 36 I had to
practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers. Each
year I
37 ask my father if I could skip the recital ＂just this once＂.
And each year he would shake his head， muttering(嘀咕) 38 about build self-confidence and working toward a 39 .
So it was with really great 40 that I stood in church one recent Sunday，video camera in hand，and
41 my 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt 42 rising to play the piano in his very first recital.
My father had longed to play music since childhood，but his family was poor and couldn’t 43 lessons. He could have gone on regretting it， 44 too many of us do. But though he was rooted in his past，he wasn’t 45 there. When he retired three years ago，he 46 his church music director to take him as a student.
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard，he 47 stared down at his fingers. Has he forgotten the 48 ? I worried，remembering those split seconds 49 ago when my mind would go blank and my fingers would 50 . But then came the beautiful melody(旋律)，from the 51 fingers that once baited(装饵于) my fishing lines. And I 52 he had been doing what music teachers always stress: 53 the music and pretend the others aren’t there.
＂I’m 54 of him for starting something new at his age，＂ I said to my son Jeff.
＂Yeah，and doing it so 55 ，＂ Jeff added.
With his first recital， my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago.

【文章大意】一年一度的钢琴独奏会让作者胆战心惊，却又无可奈何。

想不到，年近古稀的父亲的生平第一次表演竟然如此成功！有些话，似乎是老生常谈，只不过，你做到了吗？
36.C 上一句提到作者对每年一次的钢琴独奏会感到非常恐惧，由此可知这＂意味着＂作者
不得不练习一支枯燥的曲子并且在陌生人面前表演。

37.A 根据本段第一句中的内容可知作者每年＂总是会＂问自己的父亲能否不参加钢琴独
奏会，仅此一次，下不为例。

38.D 作者的父亲每年都会摇头，嘀咕建立自信之类的东西。

此处表示的是肯定含义，
something意为＂某物，某东西＂。

39.A 根据本句中的＂building self-confidence＂可知作者的父亲鼓励作者要朝着一
个＂目标＂奋斗。

40.B 文章第一段提到作者非常害怕钢琴独奏会，总是想着逃避，但从未幸免，而父亲嘀咕
的千篇一律的内容让作者颇为不满。

如今，作者的父亲参加钢琴独奏会，作者自然幸灾乐祸，十分＂满足＂，更何况手中还有录像机。

41.C 作者此时一心一意地想看父亲出洋相，自然会＂注意＂他的一举一动，发现年近古稀
的父亲穿着衬衣还在出汗。

42.D 根据＂For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard＂可知，作者的父
亲此时还没有开始演奏，所以他出汗是站起身来＂之前＂的表现。

43.B 根据本句后半句中的内容可知他的家庭非常贫困，不能＂负担得起＂钢琴课的费用。

44.A 他本可以继续为此遗憾，＂正如＂我们中太多的人所做的那样。

45.C 根据下一句中的内容可知虽然过去不可改变，但是他并没有止步不前。

此处stick表
示＂卡住，陷入＂。

46.D 第文章提到他将要在首次的独奏会中弹奏钢琴，由此可知他退休后＂说服＂了对方收
他为学生。

47.B 根据下文中作者的担心可知作者的父亲＂只是＂盯着自己的手指，而不是像作者一样
同时还要考虑其他的事情。

48.C 作者的父亲马上就要开始演奏，可他关注的是自己的手指，作者担心他是否忘记
了＂音符＂。

49.A 根据第后面的＂I said to my son Jeff＂可知作者如今已经是成年人，由此可知那个
尴尬的时刻发生在＂几十年＂前。

此外，文章最后一段中的＂those 30-plus years ago＂也是线索提示。

50.B 当时，有几秒钟作者的大脑一片空白，由此可知作者的手指＂僵住＂了，不知如何
是好。

51.A 本句的前半句提到传来了优美的旋律，再结合后半句中的内容可知这一切都出自曾经
给我的钓鱼线装
饵的＂相同的＂手指。

52.B 根据空格处后面的内容可知作者＂意识到＂他的父亲一直在做音乐老师总是强调的
内容。

53.D 根据＂pretend the others aren’t there＂可知要把精力＂集中＂在音乐上，旁若无人。

54.D 根据＂But then came the beautiful melody (旋律)＂可知作者父亲的表演很成功，
所以作者为他感到＂骄傲＂。

55.C 作者的父亲弹奏出了优美的旋律，作者感到非常自豪，再结合本句中的＂Yeah＂可知
作者的儿子也深有同感，认为演奏得很＂好＂。

III. 任务型读写
（2014安徽卷）Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today . However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.
Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over
the age of fifty.
Others say it is more popular than we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realising. It is often used in films and advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it.
Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.
However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don’t need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.
A final point to in mind is that the term ＂classical music＂ is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.
So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise!
some music they listen to is
classical.
★Classical ideas provide a (79)______
for producing new music. ☆ Young people now (80) ______ rap in popular music.
★ (81) ______ has put classical music at a disadvantage. ☆ A young man can write and make music on a computer (82) ______ in his bedroom.
★＂Classical music＂ can refer to various (83) ______ of music. ☆ Classical music (84) ______ from jazz to pieces for large orchestras.

listen to music for free. This gives you the chance to listen to music before buying
it, discover new music, and create great online playlists that you can share with others.
The Sixty One
The Sixty One is devoted to showcasing obscure or unknown artists of all genres. There’s a range of musical styles from classical to rock and roll, folk to jazz,
and everything in between. Don’t expect to find big name musicians here; you’re
more likely to find the musicians playing at local coffee shops. You can find fantastic music that you never would have heard of otherwise.
Pow Wows
Pow Wows are the Native American people’s ways of meeting together, to join in the dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, and making new ones.
