A

As is true in all cultures， Americans first hear music in the context of family life. Much of that music comes from the records on the family radio or television， and this “canned” music is especially important in developing childrens musical taste. People often say they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were old enough to have their own records or choose the station on the family radio. There is usually some live music in the family as well.

Many mothers and grandmothers sing lullabies （催眠曲）， for example. These can be important since in America， as elsewhere， lullabies not only lull a baby to sleep but promise， praise and teach cultural values. Sometimes lullabies are the only songs in a foreign language that American children with strong ethnic （種族的） backgrounds hear， since people often fall back on old， familiar languages for intimate （親密的） songs.

Another important family context is the automobile， where families learn songs and sing together on weekends and vacations. This is not as surprising as it appears， for the family car has become one of the basic centers of family experience， and it is one of the important places where the families gather for an extended period of time without outside disturbance. The family used to have to choose between making their own music in the car and being force fed by the radio， but the invention of automobile cassette recorders and eight-track playback machines allows a family to have more control over what they hear when they drive.

1. What does the underlined part “‘canned music” in the first paragraph refer to？

A. The music children hear in a car.

B. Recorded music instead of live music.

C. Modern music young people can enjoy.

D. The music passed down from older generations.

2. The music children first hear is important in ___ .

A. learning language

B. developing their mind

C. knowing about cultural values

D. shaping their likes and dislikes in music

3. According to the text， lullabies are usually sung in ___ .

A. American English B. a familiar language

C. an African language D. the parents native language

4. The invention of automobile cassette recorders allow a family ___ .

A. to spend a longer time on vacation in the car

B. to have more choices in the music they hear

C. to enjoy music without being disturbed

D. to have another place to get together

B

All of Americas popular music—jazz， country， rock and roll， and hip hop—develops from the Delta blues. Its words gave voice to the lives of workers in the fields of the Deep South， who were deeply affected by slavery （奴隸制度）. The blues may be concerned with sadness， but singing it is an act of defiance， not despair （絕望）. The blues reminds us of our weak points while encouraging us to see how far we can actually go.

We can still almost touch the origin （起源） of this art form. Looking back on the journey the blues took north up the Mississippi River—when African Americans left the South in search of new jobs—photographer Gail Mooney traveled from Chicago clubs down to the Delta to get the stories of blues men and blues women. They are still here today to attach us to the musics early days.

“In our conversations， we talked so much more about other things than their music，” says Mooney， whose exhibition on the blues has just begun a US tour this spring. “We talked about their childhoods， their cultural origin， and a time in America when people moved to live in large cities. I would listen， and sometimes I would get a feeling.”

These photos show some of the musicians who worked and studied with blues pioneers—drummer Sam Carr was the son of Robert Nighthawk， while Pinetop Perkins and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith played together with Muddy Waters.

Already， this generation is leaving us： Little Milton， guitarist and vocalist， and Robert “Junior” Lockwood （who learned from Robert Johnson， the greatest blues man of all） have passed away since Mooney began her project. However， they left many valuable things to us. Turn on your radio and some little piece of the Delta gets passed down again.

5. What can we learn about the blues from Paragraph 1？

A. It was created by workers.

B. It aims to express sad feelings.

C. It described the lives of workers.

D. It contains many kinds of music.

6. Why did Mooney travel from Chicago clubs down to the Delta？

A. To learn to play the blues.

B. To visit some old musicians.

C. To find the origin of the blues.

D. To learn about different cultures.

7. What can we learn from Mooneys words？

A. The blues is very popular.

B. The blues has a wonderful history.

C. Blues men and women like living in large cities.

D. Blues men and women like their lives more than music.

8. What can we learn about the blues pioneers from the text？

A. They enjoyed their childhoods.

B. They were good at telling stories.

C. They left us many valuable things.

D. They once left the South in search of jobs.

Most students in America like popular music. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to the music before class， after class， and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.

Adult drivers listen to the music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about the sports， the weather and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are music.

Popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country， young people will buy his or her tape. Some of the money from these tapes goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes to， most of the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.

There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music which tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music.

In the US， tornadoes （龍卷風(fēng)） are responsible for 80 deaths and more than 1，500 injuries each year. Although they happen quite frequently， tornadoes are difficult to predict. Why？ Tornadoes develop from storms， but only some storms are likely to become tornadoes. Scientists dont know where and when a storm will touch the ground and turn into a tornado. Today， the warning time for a tornado is usually just 13 minutes.

Time Samaras is a storm chaser. His job is to find tornadoes and follow them. When he gets close to a tornado， he puts a special tool called a turtle probe on the ground. This tool measures things like a tornados temperature， humidity （濕度）， and wind speed. With this information， Samaras can learn what causes tornadoes to develop. If meteorologists understand this， they can warn people about tornadoes sooner and save lives.

How does Samaras hunt tornadoes？ Its not easy. First， he has to find one. Tornadoes are too small to see using weather satellites. So Samaras cant rely on these tools to find a tornado. Instead， he waits for tornadoes to develop. Every May and June， Samaras drivers about 40，000 kilometers across an area known as Tornado Alley， looking and hoping to spot a tornado.

Once Samaras sees a tornado， the chase begins. But a tornado is hard to follow. Some tornadoes change direction several times—for example， moving east and then west and then east again. When Samaras finally gets near a tornado， he puts the turtle probe on the ground. Being this close to a tornado is terrifying. Debris is flying in the air. Then wind is blowing at high speed. He must get away quickly.

The work is risky， even for a skilled chaser like Samaras. But danger wont stop his hunt for the perfect storm.

5. What do we know about tornadoes from Paragraph 1？

A. They can be predicted by satellites.

B. They usually come down in winter.

C. They often develop into storms.

D. They can be warned in a very short time.

6. A turtle probe is used to ___ .

A. predict tornadoes

B. chase tornadoes

C. decrease the power of tornadoes

D. collect information about tornadoes

7. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？

A. How tornadoes develop.

B. How the turtle probe works.

C. How Samaras chases a tornado.

D. How powerful Tornado Alley is.

8. How is the job of a tornado chaser according to the text？

A. Difficult and dangerous.

B. Stressful and troublesome.

C. Special and interesting.

D. Exciting and popular.

Todays trumpet （小號(hào)） is one of the worlds oldest instruments. It is really the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like its ancestors， there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes. They are all blown. And they all use the players lips to produce the basic sound.

The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design， size， shape， material， and method of construction. They wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone， enable the performers to play all the notes of scale， extend the range （音域） higher and lower， make it possible to play more beautiful music， and in general， be easier to play well.

Once a man asked a painter to painting a picture for him. He told the artist he didnt want any shadows in the picture， just sunshine， but the artist did so. When the man saw the finishing picture， he was disappointed. Without shadows， everything in the picture looks flat and unreal. The point of the story is that we need both shadows and sunshine to have a completely picture， just as we need both rain and sun to have living world. People， too， needs both sadness and happiness. We often learn important lesson during sad times. So when we will feel sad， we should try to stop and think about that we might learn from the experience.
