The
language of Music
A painter hangs his or her finished
picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A
composer writes a work, but no one can
hear it until it is performed. Professional
singers
and
players
have
great
responsibilities,
for
the
composer
is
utterly

them.

student

Most
training is concerned with technique, for
musicians have to have the muscular
proficiency of an athlete or a ballet
dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as
their vocal chords would be inadequate
without controlled muscular support. String
players practice moving the fingers of
the left hand up and down, while drawing

Why Is the Native Language Learnt So
Well?
How does it happen that children learn
their mother tongue so well? When we
compare them with adults learning a
foreign language, we often find this interesting
fact. A little child without knowledge
or experience often succeeds in a complete
mastery of the language. A grown-up
person with fully developed mental powers,
in most cases, may end up with a faulty
and inexact command. What accounts for
this difference?
Despite other explanations,
the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the
child
himself, partly in the behavior
of the people around him. In the first place, the
time
of learning the mother tongue is
the most favorable of all, namely, the first years
of
life. A child hears it spoken from
morning till night and, what is more important,
always in its genuine
(
纯正的
) form, with the right
pronunciation, right intonation,
and
right
use
of
words
and
right
structure.
He
drinks
in
all
the
words
and
expressions
which
come
to
him
in
a
fresh,
ever
bubbling
spring.
There
is
no
resistance: there is
perfect assimilation (
同化
).
Then the child
has, as it were, private lessons all the year
round, while an adult
language
student
has
each
week
a
limited
number
of
hours
which
he
generally
shaves with
others. The child has another advantage: he hears
the language in all
possible
situations,
always
accompanied
by
the
right
kind
of
gestures
and
facial
expressions. Here
there is nothing unnatural, as is often found in
language lessons
in schools, when one
talks about ice and snow in June or scorching
(
炎热的
) heat
in
January.
And
what
a
child
hears
is
generally
what
immediately
interests
him.
Again
and
again,
when
his
attempts
at
speech
are
successful,
his
desires
are
understood and fulfilled.
Finally,
though
a
child’s
“teachers”
may
not
have
been
train
ed
in
language
teaching,
their
relations
with
him
are
always
close
and
personal.
They
take
great
pains
to make their lessons easy.

bow to and fro with the right arm-two
entirely different movements.
Singers and
instrumentalists have to be able to get every note
perfectly in tune.
Pianists are spared
this
particular anxiety, for the notes
are already there, waiting
for them,
and it is the piano tuner’s responsibility to tune
the instrument for them.
But
they
have
their
own
difficulties:
the
hammers
that
hit
the
strings
have
to
be
coaxed not to sound like percussion
（
撞击）
and each
overlapping tone has to sound
clear.
This
problem
of
getting
clear
texture
is
one
that
confronts
student
conductors:
they have to learn to know every note
of the music and how it should sound, and
they have to aim at controlling these
sounds with fanatical
（狂热的）
but selfless
authority.
Technique
is
of
no
use
unless
it
is
combined
with
musical
knowledge
and
understanding.
Great
artists
are
those
who
are
so
thoroughly
at
home
in
the
language of music that they can enjoy
performing works written in any century.
11. Which of the following
best states the main idea of the passage?
A. It is easier to study medicine than

B. Painters and

C. All musicians must know
how to time their own instruments.
D. Musicians must acquire technique and
understanding to perform well.
12.
According
to
the
passage,
performers
could
best
meet
their
obligation
to
composers by doing which
of the following?
A. Taking courses in
art appreciation.
B.
Knowing how the music was intended to be
performed.
C. Studying works written at
different periods in history.
D.
Rearranging musical scores for their particular
instrument.
13. Why does
the author mention athletes and ballet dancers?
A. To contrast the requirements of each
field of study.
B. To discourage music
students from continuing their studies.
C. To motivate students to
work harder to achieve their goals.
D.
To show that music students must develop great
physical coordination.
14.

the
passage,

advantage
that
pianists

NOT_____________.
A. tune their own

Local Newspapers in Britain
①
Britain has a large circulation
（
发行量）
of the
national newspapers.
The Daily
Mirror
and
T
he
Daily
Expres
s
both
sell
about
4
million
copies
each
day.
On
average, every family will buy one
newspaper in the morning, and take two or
three on Sundays.
②
Local
newspapers
are
just
as
popular
as
the
national
ones
in
Britain.
Local
papers have a weekly
circulation of 13 million. Nearly every town and
country
area has its own paper, and
almost every local paper is financially holding
its
own. Many local newspapers are
earning good profits.
③
Local
newspapers have their special characteristics.
They mainly satisfy interest
in local
events---births, weddings, deaths, council
meetings, and sports. Editors
often
rely
on
a
small
staff
of
people
who
know
the
district
well.
Clubs
and
churches
in
the
neighborhood
regularly
supply
these
papers
with
much
local
news. Local news does
not get out of date as quickly as national news.
If there
is no room for it in this
week’s edition, a news item can be held over until
the
following week.
④
The editor of a
local newspaper never forgets that the success of
any newspaper
depends
on
advertising.
For
this
reason,
he
is
keen
to
keep
the
good
will
of
local
businessmen. If the newspaper sells well with
carefully chosen news items
to
attract
local
readers,
the
businessmen
will
be
grateful
to
the
paper
for
the
opportunity of keeping
their products in the public eye.
⑤
Local
newspapers
seldom
comment
on
problems
of
national
importance,
and
editors
rarely
take
sides
on
political
questions.
But
they
can
often
provide
service
to
the
community
in
expressing
public
feeling
on
local
issues.
A
newspaper
can
sometimes
persuade
the
council
to
take
action
to
improve
transport, provide
better shopping facilities, and preserve local
monuments and
places of interest.
