18、 not know the names of the earliest composers.Early music was based on single tunes,or melodies(旋律).Later,several tunes were combined into one song,or a piece of music.Among early composers of many tuned music were Palestrina in Italy,and the Englishman William Byrd.A further musical development was
19、 opera.This has a story set to words and music.Monteverdi was the first great operatic composer.Among others are Purcell,Wgners.Verdi,Puccini,and Richard Strauss.Music was also written for instruments played alone,or together in an ORCHESTRA.The best of this is known as CLASSICAL MUSIC.The greatest
20、composers of classical music are Bach,Handel,Haydn,Mozart,and Beethoven.Some of these composers also wrote church music,opera,and songs.During the nineteenth century,many composers wrote romantic music.This kind of music appeals to(吸引 ) the listeners feelings and imagination.Among the best known com
21、posers born inthenineteenthcenturyare Schubert,Berlioz,Mendelssohn,Chopin,Schumann,Liszt,Brahms,Tschaikovsky,Elgar,Mahler,Debussy,and Sibelius.Twentieth century music frequently sounds different from earlier music.A composer whose work is often performed now is the Hungarian Bela Bartok.At first,peo
22、ple found Bartoks style harsh and ugly.Today it is understood better.The Austrian Arnold Schoenberg invented a new method of composition.He introduced 12 note music instead of old scale of eight notes.Today,a number of composers write electronic music as well as ordinary music.56We dont know the nam
23、es of the earliest composers because .A.early music was mostly about the single tunesB.people of that time seldom wrote the music downC.early music was too difficult to understandD.people of that time did not love music57The composers who brought in 12note music in composition is .A.Mozart B.Schuber

25、set to words and actions.D.Music in the 20th century sounds the same as earlier music.BIn photography,a new line of digital cameras that store pictures on memory chips(芯片) rather than film is fighting it out with Advanced Photo System(APS) models.APS is basically a smaller,more convenient version of
26、 35 mm film.In a show of unity,Eastman Kodak and Fuji Photo Filmcompanies truly dislike each otherworked with camera makers to come up with a new design that solves some of photographys most basic problems.With APS cameras,film cartridges(胶卷盒) are simply dropped in and thread(装胶卷 ) themselves.You al
27、so get a choice of three picture sizes(standard,wide and full view),and the prints come back with a visual index sheet(能看到图像的索引单) to make finding pictures and ordering reprints easier.More magical,APS film has a magnetic strip(磁条) that can be used to record picture information about lighting conditi
28、ons,flash use and other variables in addition to basics like date and picture number.In theory,these data allow photo printers to improve pictures taken by APS cameras that are“ix” (information exchange) models.These cameras cost more than $100,often much more.In future models,the APS magnetic strip
29、 may be used to capture voice or,even to record a digital version of your film picture.For now,APS picture quality is roughly the same as 35 mm film.And like 35 mm,APS is available in different film speeds to match varying light conditions or make fastaction shots.The best part about APS technology
30、is that it is affordable.Many of these tiny models will sell for $400,but more basic APS cameras are available for as little as $50.“I think APS will in the end replace 35 mm film for users,”says Ted McGrath,president of photography group at Fuji Photo Film USA Inc.59The first paragraph of the passa
31、ge suggests that Eastman Kodak and Fuji Photo Film companies before.A.seldom got along well B.were good partners C.were suited to each other D.always united as one60What s the main advantage of APS cameras that are “ix” models in theory?A.Their picture information can be used to make the pictures be

33、the place of ordinary onesC.more basic APS cameras are available for only $50D.APS will be replaced by 35 mm film for users62The best title for this passage may be .A.Digital Cameras with APSB.A New ProductC.Advanced Photo SystemD.Eastman Kodak never has travel,particularly among the young,been more
34、 strongly visits,of international exchanges.Perhaps not;but none of this,my dear young friends,is travel.Travel is not going on a round coach trip for $67 in all,or spending ten days at a hotel by the sea.Travel is when you went to see how much money and resources you have and then set out,alone or
35、with chosen friends,to make an unhurried journey to a distant goal without a set date for your return.Real travel,then is independence in action,and is not liked by most parents.They don t mind your going in a school party to Athens,because they know just where you are and when youll be back,and the
36、y can therefore permit you the imagination of freedom without for one second letting you beyond their control.But what they cannot bear is that you should travel all on your own,without giving them your address and return date.In fact,their fears are quite reasonable because that shows how much they
37、 love you.So in order to enjoy real travel and at the same time put your parents mind at ease.It would be really important for you to bear the following advice in mind.63Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A.People travel to foreign countries more than before.B.Young people are less enc

40、you66According to the writer,when you do real traveling,you should .A.never mind how worried your parents areB.give your parents your address and return dateC.tell your parents details about your travelD.not let your parents worry about youDAccording to the dictionary definition of “create”,ordinary
41、 people are creative every day.To create means “to bring into being,to cause to exist”something each of us does daily.We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way.First this involves an awareness of our surroundings.It means using all of our senses to know our world.This
42、 may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地),as well as taste,when we plan a meal.Above all,it is the ability to notice things others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things.If we believe the expression “there is nothing new under the sun”,
43、the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways.For example,we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture,or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.A third part of creativity is t
