Liu Xiaoming is learning to answer harsh questions with Hua Chunying.BWhy is music an important subject that every child should study?First of all, music helps us when we are unhappy, and gives us pleasure when we are happy. There are many different types of music: slow and fast, serious and relaxing. We can choose the music to match our feelings. And second, music is fun. Everyone enjoys playing a drum and using their energy!Scientists say that music helps children with language learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. -Music improves the ear-and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign languages more easily and pronounce them far better. Students who have learnt to play music are also better at mathematics (Maths). This is not surprising, as music is mathematical, with notes (音符) in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments always have something they can do at a party. Older children who play in school bands and orchestras enjoy school more and do not drop out of school early.You need a lot of practice to play an instrument, and it can be difficult to persuade your child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. So music practice should be a daily habit—for example, every day after school, but do not make the practice too long.Parents should listen to their child playing and tell him or her that they enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. It is also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a pleasant part of the day.26. Which of the following is NOT for the children to learn music?A. Music can help children to work with others.B. Music is fun and it can make children happy.C. Music can help children learn languages more easily.D. Music can help children put notes in order more easily.27. Parents should _____________ to help them learn to play musical instruments.A. tell children to love musicB. practise with their childrenC. listen to their children playingD. make their children practise long28. What is the best title of the passage?A. Music helps learningB. Music gives pleasureC. Music develops a habitD. Music helps the youngCWhat do you know about Hainan? Besides(除了) its warm sunshine, golden beaches and blue seas, the province has some other interesting features.China’s southernmost cityIf you are bored of Hainan’s more popular tourist cities, such as Sanya and Haikou, you may want to go to Sansha instead. Sansha is China’s southernmost city. It includes many small islands, sandbanks and reefs in the Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha island groups. Since Sansha was established in 2012, a hospital, a library and a movie theater have been built on Yongxing.The “migratory birds”Migratory birds fly from the north to the south in winter. In China, a group of people are also referred to as “migratory birds”. Every year, from October to April, people from all over China go on holiday to Hainan to enjoy the warm weather and fresh air. Most of them are elderly people from northern China, especially Northeast China. According to the Hainan local government, more than 1 million elderly choose to spend their winter in Hainan each year. These elderly “migratory birds” also encourage younger family members to join them on the sunny island.A famous forum(论坛)People in other countries might not know about Hainan, but they probably know about Boao. Boao, a town in Hainan, became China’s first permanent(永久的) site for hosting international meetings in 2001. Every year in April, the Boao Forum for Asia, a nongovernmental international organization, hosts its annual meetings. Officials, business people and experts from different countries come to Boao to discuss economic issues.The forum has been important for the development of Asian cities. Hainan and Boao have both benefited(收益) greatly from hosting the meetings. More restaurants and hotels have been built, creating more jobs for locals. An airport was opened in 2016. The forum has helped Hainan build itself into an international tourist attraction.29. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. A famous forum in Boao.B. Interesting features of Hainan.C.

He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks all on his own. He seemed so shut away inside himself, so distant. Try as I did, I could not reach him.① Then one day I was in the kitchen here, when I saw him hurrying down the hill, waving his stick and shouting for me. “I’ve got it, ” he cried, as he came in, “I’ve got it at last. ” He showed me the end of his stick. It was white. “See that, Millie?” “Chalk! It’s chalk underneath, isn’t it?”“So?” I said.“You know the famous White Horse on the hillside at Uffington, the one they carved out of the chalk a thousand years ago? That horse never died, did it? It’s still alive, isn’t it? Well, that’s what we’re going to do, so he will never be forgotten. We’ll carve The White Prince out on the hillside—he’ll be there forever, and he’ll be white forever too. ”“It’ll take a bit of time, won’t it?” I said.“We’ve got plenty, haven’t we?” he replied, with the same smile he had smiled at me when he was a ten-year-old boy asking me if he could come back and mend my kite for me.② Every spare hour we had, we were up there scraping (刨土) away with spades (铲子), andwe had buckets (桶) to carry away the earth. It was hard, back-breaking work, but it was a labour of love. We did it, Bertie and I, we did it together—paws, claws, tail, mane, until he was completeand perfect in every detail.③It was just after we’d finished that the butterflies first came. We noticed that when the sun comes out after the rain in the summer, the butterflies—Adonis Blues, they are, I looked them up – come out to drink on the chalk face. Then The White Prince becomes a butterfly lion, and breathes again like a living creature.④So now you know how Bertie’s white lion became The White Prince and how The White Prince became our butterfly lion.(Adapted from The Butterfly Lion)32.
