14、
When you listen to your favorite songs, you probably admire the singer or the musicians you're hearing. Those talented musical performers, however, are only some of the people involved in making the music you enjoy. Most people in the music industry work "behind the scenes", but their roles in the music-making process are very important.
Songwriters
Before you can hear a song, a songwriter must imagine it Some songwriters work alone, but many songwriting teams include someone who writes the song’s words, and another person who writes the music. Pop music legend Elton John’s best-known songs, including Tiny Dancer and Your Song, were written to accompany the words of Bernie Taupin, whose name you might not know.
Arrangers
After a song has been written, music arrangers make it more appealing by deciding which instruments will be used, what speed the song will have, and the song’s pitch. A good arrangement can make a song a “classic” that people will remember and want to hear again and again.
Recording Engineers
Recording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound that you hear. First, they set up the recording studio, the room where the performers play. Next, they use electronic equipment to record the music. Finally, long after the musicians have finished, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the sounds of each musician, and sometimes to incorporate special sound effects or additional tracks.
Studio Musicians
Many talented singers and musicians aren’t stars, but work in the background as studio musicians. These artists aren’t members of one musical group. Instead, they are hired for recording sessions that eventually become the music you buy, as well as the music used in television shows, movies, and radio ads.
Many people make a living with music. You may not recognize all of their names, but all of them work together to create the songs you love to listen to.
1．What is the best title for this passage?
A．The People Behind the Music B．The Music Man
C．How Music Is Made D．It’s More Than Just a Song
2．Who usually decide what instruments are used in a song ?
A．Songwriters. B．Arrangers.
C．Recording engineers. D．Studio musicians.
3．Who will most probably do the last step of making the music-making process?
A．Songwriters. B．Arrangers.
C．Recording engineers D．Studio musicians
4．What is true about studio musicians?
A．They often appear on TV shows. B．They play with different performers.
C．They decide what songs to play. D．They help to write the music.
5．Where could be the best place for you to find this passage?
A．In a travel guide. B．In a magazine.
C．In a hotel advertisement. D．In a storybook.
C
15、Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture．
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some officers often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she tries another term. One of the persons who don’t support her says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.’’
Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. ”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of thing happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
1．We may infer that the author believes people should ________.
A．buy lottery tickets if possible
B．make use of half—truths
C．be careful about what they are told
D．not trust the Yucky Company
2．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?
A．One B．Two C．Three D．Four
3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Using half truths is against the law.
B．Technically, half truths are in fact lies.
C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
4．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A．He’s really a big loser!
B．Sometimes the truth can lie．
C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．
D．It’s against the law to make false statements．

17、In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because
