For the past eight years, public primary schools in that town didnt offer music classes. They didnt have the money to pay for them. But the school district got some support to bring back music this school year.Many school officials across the country say music classes get students excited about going to school. And studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower. For example, researchers from the University of Southern California recently released the results of a five-year study. They found that the brains of 10-and 11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didnt.Though most people arent against teaching music in schools, not everyone says its necessary.Many school officials argue(争论) that learning music mean less time spent on math, writing, and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in life.Heres what two of our readers think.Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun. We have music classes at my school, and I love them!Taking music lessons can also build character. In 2020, a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey on music education. More than 60 percent of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child became more focused(集中注意力).Noah Falcon, New. JerseyAt my school, we dont have music classes. I think thats OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects, like reading and math. Its more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play an instrument or sing. If someone wanted to take music lessons, he or she could do it outside of school. I took a mariachi (墨西哥街头乐队音乐) class after school, so it didnt take time away from my other classes.Sophia Salazar, California24. What change has happened in primary schools in Bellaire this year?A. Music classes are offered. B. The school year is shortened.C. Singing is allowed in schools. D. Kida can get prizes if they learn music.25. What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Create. B. Prevent. C. Discover. D. Increase.26. What does Noah Falcon think of music education?A. It is unnecessary. B. It is a waste of money.C. It is very important. D. It is easy to continue.27. What can we learn about Sophia Salazar?A. She didnt like music at all. B. Music brings her more fun.C. Music helps her keep focused. D. She took a music class after school.CA new program encouraging children ages 9 to 12 to get interested in computers, math and science starts next week at all 36 libraries of the San Diego Public Library.Called “Spring into STEAM,” the program will offer workshops in March, April and May . It begins on March2.“We know that science education is so important now, and technology is changing so fast,” said Misty Jones, library director. “We see this as a way to bring kids new ideas and help them know more about the world around them.”STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art and math, and there will be workshops in each area. This years theme(主题) is “Bug Out!” so the science workshop will invite insect(昆虫)experts to explain the survival skills of insects. The engineering workshop will watch bees as builders. For math, the kids will learn spatial geometry (空间几何学) by making 3-Dpaper insects. Kids in other workshops will learn computer coding , create a light using a glass bottle, or build insects using pipe cleaners and LED lights.Jones said shes also excited about the chance for children to take part in the International Barcode of Life Project, which is trying to create a digital catalog(电子目录) of different kinds of insects on Earth. Kids in San Diego can ask for free insect collection tools at their local libraries beginning on March 2. Insects they collect can then be sent in for DNA identification.Jones said it is unusual for every library to start the same program at the same time. “Its something weve been trying to do, and I think its just the beginning of the chances we will be able to offer,” she said.28.

Bill Clinton is a very popular speech giver and regularly gives talks all over the world, to many different audiences. He is so effective at giving talks because he has a special quality which we call “charisma (魅力)”.Nowadays, psychologists (心理学家) are becoming very interested in charisma and want to describe its meaning in a better way. People often misunderstand what charisma is and think of it as a kind of fame, but it is not the same as fame. Charisma is a kind of magic and is relatively rare. A well-known American psychologist thinks that charismatic people are basically excellent communicators. However, they have other qualities such as self-confidence, eloquence (口才) and vision.Charismatic personalities are able to draw people to them, and people feel happy in their company. There is a sense of “togetherness” when a charismatic person is with other people. A good example of this ability, some say, is the famous American, Oprah Winfrey. She is a highly-successful businesswoman and is probably best known as the presenter of a very popular talk show. Oprah is able to relate to audiences at her shows and they respond well to her. Her charismatic personality has made her one of the richest women in the world. She owns several houses and publishes her own magazines. Presently, she is presenting a new series of the Oprah Winfrey Show. She also runs a book club, which influences the nations reading habits and may be one of the reasons why people are reading more these days in the USA.A woman who had extraordinary charisma was the film star, Marilyn Monroe. A beautiful woman and a talented (有天赋的) actress, she was always the centre of attention wherever she went.Unlike fame, charisma doesnt disappear over time. Even now, more than fifty years after her death, when young people see Monroe in her films, her charisma seems as fresh and powerful as ever.32. Bill Clinton is good at giving talks because _.A. he was once president of the USA B. he has a quality called charismaC. he has many fans that support him D. he is well-known all over the world33. According to the text, charismatic people _.A. can easily attract and interest people B. are all effective speech makersC. are all confident and successful D. often try to create a calm atmosphere34. What do we know about Oprah Winfrey?A. She writes books to influence Americans reading habits.B. She often gives talks to American young people.C. She is most famous as a magazine publisher.D. She has a happy relationship with her audiences.35. The author mentions the popularity of Marilyn Monroe to show that _.A. Monroe is an extraordinarily talented actressB. charisma doesnt become weaker over timeC. fame is as important as charismaD. famous people always have charisma第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) （答题卡E涂AB， F涂AC ，G涂AD）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(36)_.
