19、re just too complex. There are two sides to every story. I dont understand it and I have no intention of going to a demonstration. Demonstrations dont seem to accomplish anything anyway. M: Several demonstrations have changed politicians minds throughout history. As a responsible citizen I think it
20、is important to stand up for what you believe in. W: Leave it to someone else. As I said, if you listen to both sides of a story, both sides have some good points. Why should I demonstrate and risk getting hurt for something that I am not even sure is right? M: You are not likely to get hurt. This w

33、e not alone in complaining about the educational system in this country. Immigrants complain, too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the first mathematics test given to his son as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Ang
34、eles send their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan who teach mathematics at more advanced level. But I wonder If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation? When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the w
35、orlds major cities. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to
36、 school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed. Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not be able to think or to believe in themselves. Critics of American education c
37、annot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education is not perfect, but it is better than any other. 9. Who is dissatisfied with the quality of American education? 10. What does t
38、he speaker wonder? 11. What do we know about American children from this passage? 9 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 录音提到，那些怀念过去美好时光的美国人并不是唯一抱怨美国教育体系的人，移民们也在抱怨，故 C为正确答案。 A、 D在文中均有所提及，但并未提及其对美国教育体系的观点。 B中包含 speaker，而他对美国教育体系持支持态度，因此不能选 B。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文中说话者提出了这样的质疑： “如果美国的教育真的那么差，那为什么美国仍然是一个以创新自居的国家
39、?”然后说话者进一步以自己和儿子之间的比较说明了美国教育的优越性。由 此不难推断 D为正确答案。 A、 B、 C均涉及美国教育体系中的某些问题，但太片面。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文最后说话者提到，美国是唯一一个让孩子自由说话，写作以及创新的国家。抓住短文大意后，不难判断只有 C才与说话者的观点相符。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【听力原文】 Music which is original is individual and personal. That is to say, it can be identified as belonging to a par
40、ticular composer. It has particular qualities, or a style, which are not copied from another. If you can recognize the style of a composer, you will probably be able to tell that a certain composition belongs to him or her even though you have never heard it before. A basket-maker has the skill of w
41、eaving his materials to create colorful patterns, and an expert carpenter has the skill of joining together different shapes and sizes of wood to make a beautiful piece of furniture. These skills may be referred to as “workmanship“. Similarly, in music a composer organizes his melodies and rhythms a
42、nd combines sounds to create harmony. A composer may be capable of thinking up very good and original tunes, yet if tunes are poorly organized the final result will not be standard. Good music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable to those feelings. There may be joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger
43、, or whatever. Bad music, on the other hand, may confuse unrelated feelings, it may not express any important feelings at all, or it may exaggerate some feelings and make them vulgar. Good music will stand the test of time. It will gain a kind of permanent status while bad music will disappear and b
44、e forgotten quickly. In pop music, where the general rule seems to be “the newer the better“, the test of time is the hardest test of all to pass. 12. What is the feature of a piece of original music? 13. How are feelings expressed in a piece of good music? 14. What does the passage say about the re
45、lationship between time and music? 15. What do we learn about pop music according to the passage? 12 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 短文开篇就对 original music作了解释： “原创音乐是个性和个人的表现。 ”之后还进一步解释说 “这样的音乐很容易被识别出属于某个作曲者 ”。因此， A为正确答案。 B未提及； C、 D与原文不符。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文提到，好的音乐以一种适合 情感的方式来表达情感，由此推断D为正确答案。 A未提及； B、 C
46、有所提及，但更像是 bad music的特征。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文提到，好的音乐能经受住时间的考验。故 C为正确答案。 A、B均未提及， D与原文不符。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 预读选项时可知，题目问的一定是流行音乐的特点，注意听原文中提到流行音乐的地方。讲到流行音乐时，录音说 “时间是对流行音乐最大的考验 ”。其余各项都是对原文细节内容的张冠李戴。 【知识模块】 听力 Section C 16 【听力原文】 Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You he
47、ar a song you used to sing when you were a child? But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago. It seems there is a scientific reason for this. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between mus
48、ic and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages. Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly split them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types
49、 of “listen-and-repeat“ learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words. All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered. Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After th
