一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析）

1．阅读理解

"Without music, life would be a mistake, "famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friedrich

Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some

American schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.

For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers.

Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times.

In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music

classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly

because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy

with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.

However, learning music is beneficial（有益的）in many ways.

When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks,

according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood

music

development

program. For example, when playing the piano, people

see music notes

and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these

things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good

at playing music：Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in

playing the piano.

B

People all have problems. If we don't deal with these problems, we can easily become unhappy.

Worrying about our problems can affect how we do at school. It can also influence the way we

behave with our families. So how do we deal with our problems? There are many ways and here

is one of them

Most of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said

something you didn't like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometimes people can stay angry for years

about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendship may be lost.

When we are angry, however, we are usually the ones affected. Perhaps we have seen young

children playing together. Sometimes they have disagreements, and decide not to talk to each

other. However, this usually does not last for long. This is an important lesson for us to learn.
