　　When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (優先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.

　　Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.

　　Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

　　The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

　　Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.

　　So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

　　68. According to Paragraph 1, students

　　A . regard music as a way of entertainment

　　B. disagree with their parents on education

　　C. view music as an overlooked subject D. prefer the arts to science

　　69. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz

　　an example to

　　A. compare it with rock music

　　B. show music identifies a society

　　C. introduce American musical traditions

　　D. prove music influences people’s lifestyles

　　70. According to the passage, the arts and science

　　.

　　A. approach the world from different angles

　　B. explore different phenomena of the world

　　C express people’s feelings in different ways

　　D. explain what it means to be human differently

　　71. What is the main idea of the passage?

　　A. Music education deserves more attention.

　　B. Music should be of top education priority.

　　C. Music is an effective communication tool.

　　D. Music education makes students more imaginative.

　　Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and ,at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地)and leave no mark.

　　Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.

　　Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野營地)seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.

　　Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.

　　72. You needn’t ask for permission when camping in

　　.

　　A. national parks in England

　　B. most parts of Scotland

　　C. crowded lowland Britain

　　D. most parts of England

　　73.The author thinks that a good campsite is one

　　B. used previously

　　C with modern conveniences

　　D far away from beaches

　　74. The last paragraph mainly deals with

　　A. protecting animals

　　B building a campfire

　　C camping in woodland

　　D finding a campsite with privacy

　　75 The passage is mainly about

　　A the protection of campsites

　　April 12 is memorable because our class had a meaningful experience on that day. In the morning, we bicycled to the suburbs to plant trees, talking and laughing all the way. Upon arrival, we began to work immediately, some digging holes, some planting young trees, others watering them. After getting the work done, we put up a board reminding people to protect the trees and before leaving, we took some photos to record our green action. Seeing the lines of trees, we all had a sense of achievement and we feel it’ s our duty to protect and beautify our environment.
