He may not have the easiest childhood, but it was colorful, and most likely contributed to the richness of his later writing.

His horizons expanded, and he began to wander further and further.In 1897, he traveled to Canada’s Yukon, and then turned to pursue his writing seriously. His stories gained acceptance, and started to be published. He began to attract audience who liked his tales of adventures in the wild. Some of his best works,like The Call of the Wild and White Fang，reflected the brutal(野蛮的) life or death situations from those experiences in the wild.Jack London was a prolific(多产的)writer，authoring hundreds of short stories, articles, essays and novels.

Most of the original classical music was composed or written in Italy, Germany, Austria, or Russia. Classical music is usually played by a variety of string and wind instruments.The second type of music is traditional music. It comes from a particular culture. Every culture has its own special form of traditional music. For example, “blues music” is a kind of traditional music in the United States and “enka music” is one kind of traditional music in Japan. Each traditional music has its own special instruments.Another kind of music is rock music. It is generally a loud kind of music, played with a strong beat. Rock musicians often use electric instruments. Rock music probably began in Europe about 30 or 40 years ago. It became very popular, especially among young people, during the 1960s and 1970s.The fourth kind of music is jazz. Jazz probably comes from Africa. Jazz has different kinds of rhythm(节奏) from other kinds of music. A variety of musical instruments are used to play this kind of music, especially wind instruments.Of course there are other categories of music. In addition, many kinds of music are combinations(结合) ofclassical and traditional, or classical and jazz, or rock and jazz, and so on.11．What are the countries that composed or wrote most of the original classical music?A．Austria, Germany, Russia and Italy. B．Italy, Germany, the United States and Japan. C．Austria, Germany, the United States and Japan. D．Italy, Russia, Germany and the United States. 12．What kind of music is “blues music”？A．Classical music.B．Traditional music.C．Rock music.D．Jazz music.13．When did rock music become very popular?A．A few hundred years ago.B．About 30 or 40 years ago.C．During the 1960s and 1970s.D．The passage doesn't mention.14．Where did jazz music probably originate?A．In Europe.B．In Africa.C．In Russia.D．In the United States.15．What is the main point of the passage?A．Different categories of music. B．The origin of music.C．The difference between classical music and traditional music. D．None of the above.BI like music because I think there is nothing more relaxing than listening to or playing music.One day, I went to my parents’ house to visit them. While my mother was cooking some food in the kitchen, my father and I were waiting. Later I went into my father’s room with him and he took out his guitar and started playing a slow song. Then I took out a violin and started playing along with him. Slowly, I became lost into the music.My father and I played like that for about 15 minutes. And when I turned around, my mother was standing there listening. I didn’t even realize she was there while I was playing. That was one of the few times that was “truly” lost in music. The funniest thing when I played with my father was that I wasn’t good at the violin. I was new at the instrument, but it was slow song and my ability didn’t matter. That is what music is all about.Now many people are too focused on being good at their instrument, or making lots of money with it, but not focused on the music. Although my job is playing the piano, I never really want to use it to make money. I play music because it brings me great happiness, and I love everything about it.16．Listening to music is ________ for the writer.A．relaxing B．boring C．interesting D．exciting17．When my father and I was playing the music, my mother was ________.A．watching TV B．standing there and listeningC．cooking in the kitchen D．playing music with them18．The underlined words “focused on” mean ________.A．疏忽B．吵闹C．关注D．浪费19．What is probably the writer’s job?A．A pianist.B．A sports player.C．A scientist.D．A math teacher.20．Which is the best title for this passage?A．My Dream Job B．My Favorite SongC．One Day with My Parents D．Why I Like MusicCVienna is a beautiful old city on the River Danube in the center of Europe. It’s the capital city of Austria and the center of European classical music. In the 18th century a lot of musicians came to study and work in Vienna.In the Strauss family, there were two composers(作曲家) called Johann Strauss: the father and the son. The father, Johann Strauss the elder, wrote and played music for traditional dances, called the waltz. His dance music made him famous all over Europe. The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1867 he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.Mozart was another very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756. Before he was six, he played not only the piano but also the violin. His family took him around Europe and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of wonderful pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only 35. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect.21．From Paragraph 1 we know that Vienna is ________.A．a beautiful new city B．on the River DanubeC．in the center of Austria D．the center of European pop music22．How many important composers are mentioned in the passage?A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.23．Johann Strauss the elder was famous for ________.A．the dance music B．his son C．The Blue Danube D．the concerts24．It can be inferred(推断) from the passage that Mozart was ________.A．stupid and lazy B．clever but lazyC．stupid and hard-working D．clever and hard-working25．This passage can be found most probably in the part of ________ in a newspaper.A．News B．Recreation(娱乐)C．Ad(广告)D．Sports三、阅读还原It’s similar to the music you listen to, but it’s not exactly the same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.Quiet background music used to be called “elevator(电梯) music” because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. ____27____If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? ____28____Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. ____29____ Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.____30____ They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muza!A．Some people don’t like Muzak.B．The music gives them extra energy.C．Music is playing in the background.D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more.E．Muzak tends to help people understand music better.F．They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.G．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.四、阅读回答问题A Country Music Song Changed Her Life ForeverWhen Sarah was a teenager, she used to fight over almost everything with her family. But five years ago, while she was studying abroad in England, she heard a song full of feelings about returning home on the radio. It made Sarah think about her family and friends back in the US. She came to realize how much she actually missed all of them. Ever since then, she has been a fan of American country music.Country is a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. Nashville, Tennessee is the home of country music. Many songs these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the importance of money and success, but not about belonging to a group. However, country music brings us back to the “good old days” when people were kind to each other and trusted one another. It reminds us that the best things in life are free ― laughter, friends, family, and the beauty of nature and the countryside.Sarah hasn’t been to Nashville yet, but it is her dream to go there one day. She has already read a lot about the place and done some research on it. She knows that there is a Country Music Hall of Fame Museum in Nashville. There are also always a lot of great country music concerts with famous musicians and singers, like Garth Brooks. Sarah has already listened to most of his songs. “Garth is one of the most successful musicians in American history. He’s sold more than 120 million records. I hope to see him sing live one day!”31．The main idea of the passage:__________________________________________________________________________32．What kind of music is country music?__________________________________________________________________________32．The best things that country music reminds us in life:_________________________________________________________________________33．A famous country music place in Nashville:____________________________________________________________________________34．Sarah’s dream:_______________________________________________________________________________五、阅读短文，根据短文内容和已给出的首字母，在空白处填入适当的单词六、书面表达请你以“My Favorite Singer”为题，写一篇80词左右的英语短文。
