Singing songs is fun, but is it also useful? For learning English pronunciation(發(fā)音), Mr. Joe thinks songs are the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing songs. Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. You should do the same.

Some words used in songs are not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song lyrics（歌詞）when you speak. Most words and sentences are very useful. You don't have to sing songs aloud if you are shy, but after learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something that you will never forget!

Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joe's favorite singer, B.B. King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of "Why I Sing the Blues", you are a very advanced student.

If you become good at singing English songs, you can try to go to karaoke and sing with your friends. When you are able to sing a song in another language, even if you don't sing so beautifully, you will really impress(給......深刻印象) other people!

1.Which is Mr. Joe’s mother language?

A. French. B. English.

C. Chinese. D. Japanese.

2.Singing English songs can help us, EXCEPT______.

A. pronounce correctly B. remember new words

C. learn English D. sing songs better

3.The underlined word "advanced" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by______.

A. careful B. excellent

C. kind-hearted D. lazy

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015-2016學(xué)年江蘇鹽城東臺(tái)第一教研片八年級(jí)下一次月考英語(yǔ)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact, they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.

The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.

A blacksmith's job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse's foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse's leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very strong. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses——for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.

One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and，as the puts it, “It’s a good way to make a living.”

D. draw a picture of the shoe

4. The best title for the passage is “__________."

A. Policemen on Horseback

B. Blacksmiths and Horseshoeing

C. James Corbin，a Blacksmith

D. Horseshoeing is a Good Way to Make a Living

5.Which of the following is true？

A. Only a few large American cities have some policemen on horseback.
