一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析）
1．阅读理解
    "Without music, life would be a mistake, "famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.
    For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.
    However, learning music is beneficial（有益旳）in many ways.
    When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
    Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music：Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.
（1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ____.
A. they were too difficult to learn                  B. students in the US weren't interested in music
C. the schools wanted to control budgets    D. there weren't enough music teachers in the US
（2）In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word "them" refer to（指代）?
A. Students in Chicago.        B. Public schools.        C. Parents in Chicago.        D. Fired teachers.
（3）How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?
A. One.                                   B. Two.                                   C. Three.                                   D. Four.
（4）What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?
A. Music is as simple as it looks.                        B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.
C. Music is a big part of our lives.                     D. Music isn't a very important life skill for us.

C
      If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person.
      A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo （舒缓旳节拍）.
      “Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nerve （神经） system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.
      The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.
      Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart's violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
