Big football matches are always exciting affairs. Besides the action on the field, the noise the crowd makes really creates the unique atmosphere. At this summer’s World Cup, you can be sure that every country’s fans will be in full voice, supporting their teams.
The football chant(口号) is as old as the sport itself. It’s a way for fans to express their support for their team. It’s common for the noise of supporters to provide the encouragement for a team to win a match. Most agree that a chant is for building a great atmosphere and to support the team.
One of the most famous football songs is the Liverpool club anthem(颂歌) You’ll Never Walk Alone,originally from a 1945 Broadway show, which was adopted by Liverpool and is sung before every match. It has been said that as soon as the opposite hears the song, they become aware of how tough winning at Anfield (Liverpool’s stadium) will be.
The key to a good football song is that it should be simple. It has to be easy for all fans to sing along with. When I went to watch Beijing Guo’an last season, I could join in one chant though I could only speak a little Chinese. “Beijing wo ai ni,” the Guo’an fans sang — you didn’t have to be gifted to work out what that meant.
At the World Cup, the first songs you’ll hear at matches will be the national anthems. Fans and players join together to sing the anthems before each match, and it is considered a mark of respect that the opposite remains silent while each team’s anthem is being sung.
So, even though I’ll be supporting England from home in the summer, you can be sure I’ll be chanting at my TV: “En-ger-land, En-ger-land, En-ger-land!”
56. From the passage we can learn that _______.
A. a good football chant is usually very long
B. the football chant can express support to the team
C. the football chant appears later than football itself
D. a fan is talented to learn foreign languages
57. What can fans do to support their team?
A. To kick the ball on the field.
B. To fight with the opposition fans.
C. To provide encouragement with chants.
D. To donate money to the players.
58. Why the national anthems of both the teams can be heard at the World Cup?
A. Because it is a sign to show the respect to each other.
B. Because it is sung for the leaders of the host country.
C. Because it represents encouragement from their fans.
D. Because either team senses the support from their country.
59. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Football — A Popular Sport B. National Anthems at Matches
C. You’ll Never Walk Alone D. You’ll Never “Cheer” Alone
B

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(优先). 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 and 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 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 thoughts 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 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.
67. 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
68. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as 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
69. According to the passage, the arts and science _______.
A. explain what it means to be human differently
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C. express people’s feelings in different ways
D. approach the world from different angles
70. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Music is an effective communication tool.
B. Music should be of top education priority.
C. Music education deserves more attention.
D. Music makes students more imaginative.

Who knows what the world will be like in the future? But one thing is certain: if we are still in the world, we will be people of the last century! Let’s imagine another possible world.
Human civilization will reach a higher level than it has ever achieved before. Cars will be replaced by private planes. The television set will no longer be the most important member of the family, but will be treated like the fridge or the washing machine. Actually people will prefer to attach themselves to computers. People will work to live but not live to work. People will no longer confuse the quality of things with the quality of life. People will concern more about the lives of teenagers. Rich children will not be treated like kings, because there will be no rich children. Education will not only be the right of those who can pay for it. Teachers will lose their jobs because computers and robots will do the teaching instead.
