B

“Folk singers are more like poets than singers,” Li Yahe, a music businessman, once told China Youth Daily．

That saying perfectly describes Zhang Lei, the 34-year-old champion of the fourth “Voice of China” singing competition, which ended on Oct 7．

Critics thought Zhang's success as a victory for folk singers．The Voice of China used to attach great importance to singing skills and vocal techniques, which are not necessarily what folk singers are good at．“Folk songs are more about emotions and storytelling,” said Li．

Folk is one of the oldest musical styles．It dates back to ancient times, when people sang about their everyday lives and the society around them．

A powerful comeback

Folk music became popular again in the Western world in the 1960s．During social revolutions, many young Westerners turned to the simple rhythms of folk．Pioneers included US singer Bob Dylan, whose songs are reflections of some social issues like the Vietnam War．Singers at that time used traditional folk instruments like the banjo, the upright bass, the mandolin and the piano．

In the late 1970s, folk music was introduced to Taiwan．The rise of singers like Lo Tayu and Chyi Yu popularized folk music, particularly among young Chinese people．

At that time, folk tunes were based on simple song structures, with pleasant chord progression and pretty lyrics, just like during old times．But they focused more on the dreams and sorrow of youth than on politics．

This continued to be the case when the folk “wave” swept Chinese mainland in the 1990s．

Folk pioneers

Sadly, it didn't last long in China．Folk gave way to pop in the late 1990s, when people started living more fast-paced lives．But that didn't mean folk music had disappeared from the music world entirely．

“The drop in the popularity of folk songs is because the business mode of the music industry is outdated, not because of the music itself,” folk singer Song Ke once said．

He was right．Recent years have seen folk songs gaining popularity, with the appearance of singers like Li Jian and Song Dongye．

“The popularity of the Internet has shocked the traditional profit model in music industry,” Lu Zhongqiang, manager of 13-Month, a music recording and publishing company, told Tencent Entertainment．

“Not-so-well-known music starts showing its strength when the production of mainstream music is declining,” he added．

1.Which would be the best title of the passage?

A．The History of Folk Music

B．Folk Music Pioneers

C．The Folk Music Industry

D．The Voice of China

2.The underlined world “it” in the last but four paragraph means________．

A．the popularity of folk music

B．the focus of folk music

C．the tradition of folk pioneers

D．the new model of pop music

3.Which statement is true according to the passage?

A．The Voice of China is very popular among young Chinese people

B．Folk music once was a way to voice opinions about social issues

C．Folk songs are more about expressing emotions than storytelling

D．Outdated music mode is what leads to the decline of folk songs

4.Which word can best describe the attitude of Lu Zhongqiang towards folk music?

A．Objective

B．Confident

C．Critical

D．Worried

When I was superintendent of schools in Palo Alto, California, Polly Tyner, the president of our board of trustees（董事會）, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times. Polly's son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.

Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time. If I had only known I would have said, "Jim, I love you and I'm so very proud of you."

I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him. I would have taken time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.

When you put all the good attributes on the scale(天平) and you try to balance all the irritating traits such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn't to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., the irritations don't amount to much.

I won't get another chance to tell my son all I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died. He called me to say, "Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. Got to go to work. Bye." He gave me something to treasure forever.

If there is any purpose at all to Jim's death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially families, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.

You may never have another chance. Do it today!

1.Which of the following is NOT true about Jim?

A. He was a boy handicapped and needed lots of patience.

B. He was an optimistic child and was sincere and kind to others.

C. He found a job after his graduation from high school.

D. He held a positive attitude to life despite his great difficulty in learning.

2.The letter submitted by Jim’s mother is intended to____________.

A. be in memory of her son who died at an early age

B. appeal to people to pay attention to road safety

C. remind people to cherish their friends and families

D. show the great sorrow when parents lost their child

3.The underlined word “traits” in the fourth paragraph probably means___________.

A. portraits B. Qualities C. arguments D. habits

4.The passage is most probably entitled__________.

A. A Heart-broken Story B. Memories About Jim

C. Great Parental Love D. Do It Today

New Yorkers and visitors to the Big Apple will get to ring in the Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year in the U.S., in style with a fireworks display on the Hudson River set to music written by Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun.

The display is part of the second annual “Happy Chinese New Year: Fantastic Art China” festival held in New York on February 5-10, 2016. The China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), the U.S.-China Cultural Institute and the Cultural Associate of the Committee of 100 announced this year’s events on November 18 at a press conference at the Lincoln Center.

The “Fantastic Art China” festival will feature a larger and more diverse series of artistic and cultural events across New York’s top cultural venues (地點(diǎn)) and landmarks, including the Lincoln Center, Empire State Building and Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

This year’s theme focuses on exploring the complicated relationship between sound and image, said Professor Yu Ding from CAFA, who is also president of Fantastic Art China and in charge of the festival’s design. Lunar New Year, which celebrates the “Year of the Monkey” in 2016, is an opportunity to bring China’s modern art to mainstream America, and the festival serves as an innovative approach to establishing cultural exchange between China and New York City, Yu said.

UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Tan Dun’s music is a new edition that will be featured at several venues, including a major art exhibition at the Javits Center, events at the Lincoln Center and the fireworks display on the Hudson, which will take place on the evening of February 6. Five barges (游艇) on the river will launch the fireworks designed by CAFA that will tell a story about celebration and conservation.

“We Chinese are fond of nature, so the best way to celebrate the Lunar New Year is to salute with the sounds of nature, such as sounds of water, stone and bamboo,” said Tan Dun at the press conference, “And it will be fun to use the music of water during the firework display.”

In addition to the fireworks, a special lighting show at the Empire State Building will illuminate New York City during the holiday.

Chinese New Year is being recognized as a public school holiday for the first time in New York. Children from the National Dance Institute, which represents 75 schools, will perform traditional Chinese dances at the Lincoln Center and the Javits Center. And, in celebration of the “Year of the Monkey” events will feature a conservation message about the endangered golden monkey in China.

1.The theme of this year’s celebration is centered on ________.

A. diversity of Chinese traditional festivals

B. relationship between sound and image of nature

D. cultural exchange between China and America

2.The coming “Year of the Monkey” is to be celebrated in New York by ________.

A. sailing on the Hudson River along with a new-year speech

B. holding a special concert at the Empire State Building

D. taking a week off and organizing Chinese dance contests

3.What does the underlined word “illuminate” (in Para. 7) most probably mean?

A. Lighten. B. Surround. C. Decorate. D. Broaden.

4.This passage is written mainly in order to ________.
