I remember my first true introduction to art fondly.It was my second year of university and I was a confused 19-year-old at the time，unsure of what academic path I wanted to pursue.I knew that I had always been fascinated by things that made me question the world around me， and my art history class was the first time I really got to get my feet wet.
My professor，a post-graduate with natty（齊整的） hair，entertained us with her stories of travel and revealed the arts of the world to us，something that had not been touched on since my primary school years.The grand story of time was told in broken Greek sculptures，figures whose amazingly detailed limestone carvings were often missing arms and heads to the brittle ravages （無情的破壞）of time.We explored the patterns of the Medieval era and the early Renaissance religious symbolism of Michelangelo and Botticelli.We analyzed the mustard（芥末黃） and chiaroscuro （明暗對比） glare of the Baroque paintings of Caravaggio and El Greco，and we were amazed by the sandcastle-naturalism of the Spanish architect Gaudi.The history of art has fascinated me ever since.
I never had a talent for art myself，but I always did have a well-grounded appreciation for those who did.In primary school，we explored art through music and painting classes，but once we entered secondary school，art was an elective course and quickly limited to the dustbins of my memory.It was only after that humble art history class that I realized what I had been missing.
I strongly believe that a well-rounded society needs everyone to have an early education in the arts.A healthy society needs all its members to open their eyes-and their minds-so that they can learn what is true and beautiful，just as the famous Greek philosopher Plato said， "The reflection of beauty causes the soul to grow wings".

1．For several days Ⅰ（Jane Eyre） saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening，I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips，and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him，he suddenly turned around and asked me， "Do you think I'm handsome，Miss Eyre？"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it： "No，sir."
"Ah，you are really unusual!You look like a quiet，serious little person，but you can be almost rude."
"Sir，I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances；I should have said that beauty doesn't matter，or something like that."
"No，you shouldn't!I see，you criticize my appearance，and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance（抵消） your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind，and said quickly， "Yes，you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one，and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you，and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man，take my word for it，but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character，but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this？Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to，because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me，Miss Eyre，" he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much，perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me，and laugh，and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage，you'll fly very high.Good night."
（1）Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5？
A．Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.
B．Because Jane had intended to be more critical.
C．Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.
D．Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.
（2）From what Mr.Rochester told Miss Eyre，we can conclude that he wanted to.
A．tell her all his troubles
B．tell her his life experience
C．change her opinion of him
D．change his circumstances
（3）Mr.Rochester soundedat the end of the passage.
A．rude
B．cold

D．encouraging發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：11引用：2難度：0.5 -
2．To me，life without music would not be exciting．I realize that this is not true for everybody．Many people get along quite well without going to the concert，and listening to the record．But music plays an important part in everyone's life，whether he realizes it or not．Try to imagine，for example，what films or TV plays would be like without music．Would the feelings，the moving plot，and the greatest interests，be so exciting or dramatic？I'm not sure about it．
Now，we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall．But if we look at some parts of music more closely，we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea，the melody of a bird in the woods and so on．So music surely has meaning for everyone，in some way or other．And，of course，it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music．
It is well said， "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty，expresses himself from his heart，feels the joy of doing things alone，learns to take care of others，develops his mind and makes his body strong．"
（1）What does the writer say more about in the text？
A．Life full of music．
B．The importance of music．
C．Life without music．
D．The development of music．
（2）From the text，we learn that many people．
A．go to the concert instead of enjoying music
B．get along quite well without music
C．don't realize the importance of music
D．think music would be less exciting than films
（3）What does the underlined word "melody" mean in the text？
A．flying
B．living
C．looking
D．singing
（4）From the last paragraph，we learn that music．
A．is very necessary for our everyday life
B．is very important，especially for children
C．can make our life exciting and dramatic
D．can enter another beautiful world發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：6引用：3難度：0.6 -
