Unit 5 Music reading课时作业I.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)As a child, I started learning to play the piano，my favorite musical 1 ，but I was forced to give up when I started my middle school 2 I could concentrate more on my studies.It's one of my biggest 3 to stop practicing the piano when I recall sadly today.During the following years, I kept telling my piano teacher that I would 4 ．However，I didn't keep my promise because I was 5 with my study. 6 I lost touch with my teacher.

I was so 11 that I could hardly say anything.But her 12 helped me ease my shame.These memories，13 ，good or bad, never caused my 14 for playing the piano again.This thought then led me to think that 15 is like music，and that we all try to play different 16 in the instrument of our life. Sometimes the pitch(音高) is 17 when we play it well，but sometimes we are out of tone. However, we all continue to create our own 18 style of music. No matter what style our music is, it is 19 that we sing the songs of joy，quietness and love. Though I may never make it back to piano lessons，it doesn't 20 that I've stopped making music.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了作者学习弹钢琴的经历，告诉我们：人生就像音乐，无论我们的音乐风格是什么，唱快乐、平静和爱的歌才是重要的。

Professional Association of Teachers in Southport，northwest of England，one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools.They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”．Wendy Dyble，a Shetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven，made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”．They obviously believed her，supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13，with a total of 63 abstentions (弃权)．She said big dogs could help round up children，keep them in line，lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order.“A big dog would also be helpful in breaking up fights and looking for lost property，like gym shoes or dolls，” Dyble said at the conference.“The dog wi ll also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to，” she added.“It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit (犯错的人)．”The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions.A spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett，who is blind，said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools.The Professional Association of Teachers，with around 35,000 members，is the smallest teaching unionin Britain.It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.Earlier this week，its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand.1．According to the writer’s opinion，to employ dogs as classroom assistants________.A．is a wonderful ideaB．can improve the relation between children and animalsC．is beyond ordinary people’s mindsD．can make some teachers lose jobs2．What Dyble said at the conference________.A．gained some support from the membersB．frightened everyone at the conferenceC．interested everyone at the conferenceD．caused some trouble to trained dogs3．A spokesman for Education Secretary________.A．once used a dog as a classroom assistantB．sang high praise for Dyble’ s ideaC．would employ dogs as teachersD．benefited much from dogs4．The last paragraph of this passage________.A．has nothing to do with the topic of this passageB．shows there are too many exams in British schoolsC．provides further facts about the teaching unionD．shows the writer’s anger to the unionⅣ.短文填词Last week，we talked about different kinds of short stories.Many________you said you liked the American 1.________writer

It comes from a country called Chad，which is north of the Central African Republic. The basenji was well－known as the “silent dog〞because for centuries no basenjis had ever been known to bark. Then at a dog show in London in 1953, a basenji actually barked.As well as being clever, basenjis are known for their natural courage and are still popular hunting dogs in Africa. But in America people keep them mainly because they are gentle and full of fun. The basenji has an unusual habit: it washes itself all over like a cat. It is a middle－sized dog，16 or17 inches high from the shoulder. It weighs about 20 pounds.A basenji's coat is short and silky. It may be brown, white, or gold, or a mixture of these three colours.1．Basenjis were first found________．A．in Africa, Europe and AmericaB．in both Africa and AmericaC．in central AfricaD．in North Africa2．What made Basenjis so specialA．They were born quiet dogs.B．They were a true friend of man.C．One of them barked at a dog show in London.D．They were funny enough to make people laugh.3．In what way are basenjis like catsA．They make gentle sounds instead of barking.B．They are fond of people and look like cats.C．They clean themselves all over.D．They have short，silky fur.4．Basenjis are good hunters because they are ________．A．strong B．fearlessC．the right color D．the right weightBWhether it's a carol (圣诞颂歌)service or an evening of karaoke in the pub，many people will enjoy a good old sing －song this Christmas .Singing aloud will not just lift the spirits—it's good for your physical health as well. Filling the lungs with air, increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.For the past few years Heart Research UK has been running a Christmas campaign aimed at getting people singing, simply for the benefit it can bring. The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe, simple and social activitythat ever yone can enjoy. “Singing is linked to long life, stress reduction, and general health protection. It also brings a great amount of happiness. It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch(音高)．〞Professor Graham Welch，who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London, has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing. He says that singing is a form of exercise. It means we're also having a strong aerobic activity (有氧运动) when we're singing, which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.“And communal singing—like in a singing group，a church service or even a sing－song in the pub—helps improve our sense of self－respect. It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves, a greater sense of feeling included.〞Helen Astrid，a singing teacher，also sees the great effects that singing brings. “It lifts us up on a spiritual level, it helps our self－respect ，and it's great for all ages from small kids to grannies—you can have a good sing and let_your_hair_down.〞But she warns people not to have too many beers orglasses of wine, though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.5．Heart Research UK holds a campaign to________．A．encourage people to sing for God at ChristmasB．study the effects of singing on peopleC．get people to sing and improve their healthD．bring happiness to people during holidays6．The underlined part “let your hair down〞probably means________．A．feel at ease B．protect yourselfC. dress casuallyD. cover your nervousness7．What can we infer from the passageA．Singing at Christmas is good for health.B．One in a low mood is not able to sing well.C. Experts have disagreement on singing.D. Singing is the same as other aerobic activities.8．Which is the best title of the passageA．Karaoke—Best Place for Singing!B．Christmas—Best Time for Singing!C．Singing—Healthy but Difficult!D．For Health—Let's Sing!_______参考答案一、1.A in addition另外；in general总说来，大体上；in return 作为回报；in brief简言之。

On radio stations across the world，a Beatles' song is being played every second of every day. The group broke up in 1970，but their music is still popular today. In fact，1966 was the group's most successful year，as the band released(发行)three new double albums，which sold over 20 million copies. Not bad for a band that split up in 1970!The original group was made up of John Lennon，Paul McCartney，George Harrison and Pete Best，who began playing together in 1959.Three years later，in May 1962，the band signed a contract with the Parlophone Record Company. Before this，they were rejected(拒绝)by four record companies!The Beatles' first single，“Love Me Do”，was released in October 1962.Two months before this，Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best as the drummer. The band's catchy tunes and simple love lyrics made them popular immediately. In 1963，the band became the first to have three No.1 singles and two No.1 albums in a row.By the end of 1963，the Beatles had been the most popular group in Europe. They sold millions of records，and their fans copied their hairstyles and clothes. Their records were not available(可得到的)in America until December 1963，when their fifth single was released there. Within a month it was a US No.1.Their American record company quickly released their first four singles，and the Beatles set another record—the first group ever to hold the top five places in the American record chart at the same time.During the next two years Europe and America went crazy for the Beatles. The group played hundreds of sell－out concerts all over the world. In August 1965，they set another record by playing to the largest ever concert audience—55，600 people. When they played their last public performance a year later，they had recorded a further eight No.1 singles in the US. From 1966 until 1970，the Beatles released six more albums and all of them went to No.1 in the charts. In 1970，the band splitup.Sadly，John Lennon，was shot dead outside his apartment building in New York in December 1980.The remaining three Beatles occasionally(偶尔)released new records.
