They both had polio(小儿麻痹症) and the two men couldn't use their legs. However, both men were extremely skilled at playing music. But they couldn't find work as a musician. "When I went to see my musician friends to look for work, they didn't want to work with me because I am handicapped, even though I knew how to sing and play the guitar," Papa Ricky said.So Papa Ricky and Coco started their own music group called Staff Benda Bilili. Soon, other handicapped musicians joined their group. Some played instruments(乐器). Some sang. And some of them even danced by using their hands like feet.All of the men worked other jobs during the day. But, they played their music as often as they could. The men of Staff Benda Bilili believed they could do anything they wanted. Benda Bilili means "look beyond appearances". And this is what they wanted people to do. The members of Staff Benda Bilili dreamed of being famous for their music, not for their handicaps. They hoped that one day their music would even be popular in Europe.Staff Benda Bilili started by playing their music on street corners. People liked their music and gave them money. Then, one day, filmmakers Renaud Barret and Florent de la Tullaye heard Staff Benda Bilili performing in the streets. "Their songs were about living on the streets of a city that had no pity. Their music went straight to our hearts," Barret said. After that, they decided to help them make a music album. After the release of their first album, they travelled to Europe to play for a music celebration event in France.The men of Staff Benda Bilili have seen their dream become real.

Moving.BMusic for Humans and Humpback WhalesAs researchers conclude in Science, the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species, but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain, and is far more ancient than previously suspected.In the articles that discuss the field of bio-musicology, the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music, researchers present various evidence to, show that music-making is at once an original human "business", and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom.The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom, and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound. Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere.For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms(节奏) similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length—a few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves(八度音阶), yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals, rather than moving forwards madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio(比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so-called A-B-A form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form.Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme. "This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material," the researchers write.70. The underlined words "converge on" in Paragraph 3 probably means .A. tend towardsB. refer toC. turn intoD. put forward71. Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales?A. They can remember complex material.B. They can create pleasing patterns of music.C. They can make sounds like drums continuously.D. They can sing along with rhythms of western music.72. What is the main idea of the article?A. Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans.B. Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales.C. Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom.D. Music-making is an ancient activity of both humans and animals.73. The main purpose of the passage is to .A. argue and discussB. inform and explainC. compare and advertiseD. examine and assessCAs 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 children's 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 backgrounds hear, since people often fall back on old, familiar languages for intimate(亲密的) 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 place where the family gathers for an extended period of time without outside disturbance(打扰). The family used to have to choose between making their own music in the car and being force-fed by the radio, but the recent invention of automobile cassette recorders and eight-track playback machines allows a family to have more control over what they hear when they drive.74. The music children first hear is important in .A. shaping their likes and dislikes in musicB. learning languageC. developing their talent in musicD. maintaining their strong ethnic backgrounds75. The underlined word "context" in the first paragraph means .A. chanceB. cultureC. surroundingD. backgrounds76. The recent invention of automobile cassette recorders allows a family to .A. extend the period of time they spend in carsB. have more choice in the music they hearC. enjoy music without being disturbedD. have another place to get togetherDExchanging music over the Internet is fun and easy. Better yet, it's free, which means you don't have to pay for any more expensive music CDs. Several online file-sharing services make it easy for music lovers to exchange their favorite tunes with one another.However, this illegal sharing of music—a form of music piracy—is doing harm to the music industry. Industry experts estimate that U.S. $4.3 billion in worldwide sales was lost to music piracy last year. These lost profits could force record companies to stop producing the music of many popular artists. That would hurt both musicians and music fans alike.Music producers are puzzled about how to fight music piracy. Their efforts to fight piracy using the law have had only limited success. The music industry did win a legal victory against Napster, a famous music website. The courts ordered Napster to stop giving away copyrighted music from their site. But a number of other music-sharing networks have sprung up in its place.These new networks are made up of thousands, or even millions, of individuals. Unlike Napster, there's no one company controlling the distribution(发行) of music over each network. So it's nearly impossible to stop the illegal activities.Now people in the music industry have decided that "if you can't beat them, join them". They've begun to offer legal alternatives to online music piracy. Major music producers have given companies like Apple Computer permission to sell their music online. Apple's iTune Music Store allows computer users to legally download any song for 99 cents.Will these new measures save the music industry from piracy? That depends on whether music fans are willing to pay 99 cents for a song that they can download illegally for free. Unfortunately, many people believe music should be free. The music industry, however, hopes to persuade these music fans to change their tune.77. These text is written to .A. discuss music piracy on the InternetB. introduce the popularity of online musicC. persuade music fans to give up downloading musicD. protect copyrighted music from being downloaded illegally78. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some online file-sharing services are responsible for music piracy.B. Napster, a famous music website, broke down because of its piracy.C. There have been no perfect measures to put an end to piracy.D. Legal sharing of music is available at Apple's iTune Music Store.79. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?A. The only effective way to fight music piracy is to stop it by law.B. Music lovers will be persuaded to pay for online music in time.C. It is certain that no one will be willing to pay for online music.D. There is a long way for music industry to go in fighting piracy.七、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）Encouraging Positive RelationshipsChoosing one's friends is an important part of growing up.
