三、閱讀理解。
A
Beautiful music flows from his dancing hands and speaks a language for all people — young and old, rich and poor — to hear. It is a language of love and romance.
With "Pour Elise" (《致愛麗絲》) and "Ballade Pour Adeline" 《水邊的阿蒂麗娜》), French pianist Richard Clayderman is loved by millions all over the world. His lively, yet soft piano playing is his trademark.
And now, he has mixed his music with the sounds of the East. Clayderman, with his blonde (金色的) hair and blue eyes, recently cooperated with China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra (CBCO，中國廣播民族樂團) to record his latest album "New Era" (《新時代》), which was released across the world last Wednesday.
"I have been intoxicated (陶醉) by Chinese folk music. It's a treasure worthy of being introduced to the world. I hope my piano and interpretation (闡釋) can bridge the West and the East," said the 49-year-old pianist.
Some of the most famous folk music in China, including "Faraway Place" (《在那遙遠(yuǎn)的地方》) and "Kang Ding Love Song" (《康定情歌》), is interpreted by the pianist, who is also known as the "Prince of Romance".
Clayderman has created a whirlwind of passion, which sweeps listeners off their feet and off to a faraway grassland.
And for the first time in his life, Clayderman plays the piano alongside traditional Chinese instruments such as the erhu, pipa and flute (笛子).
"The magic erhu works very well with the piano and helps to create a sense of quietness and mystery in the peaceful beauty of the music."
To record "Cicada" (《蟬之歌》), a folk song of the Dong ethnic group (侗族), the musician made several visits to the mountainous villages where the Dong people live in Yunnan Province. "Cicada", he says, is a conversation between the piano and erhu. It is also a communication between western and traditional Chinese music.
Clayderman is not the first western musician to be charmed by Chinese folk music. In 1992, Heinrich Schweizer, a composer (作曲家) in Switzerland, wrote the "East and West Symphony" (《東西之聲交響樂》) to celebrate the cultural meeting of China and the West. His work weaves Chinese traditional folk songs with classical Western music to produce an original (原創(chuàng)的) orchestral sound.
Traditional ways of life are disappearing in this fast developing world. So, combining the old with the new is important in keeping alive the great diversity (多樣性) of cultures. "This cooperation with western music is an efficient way to promote Chinese folk music to the world," said Zhang Gaoxiang, vice-director of CBCO.
51. What makes Richard Clayderman different from other musicians?
A. He is called Prince of Romance.
B. Pour Elise & Ballade Pour Adeline.
C. East and West Symphony.
D. His vibrant yet soft piano playing.
52. It was the pianist's hope to ________ through his latest album.
A. play the piano alongside traditional Chinese music instruments.
B. celebrate the cultural meeting of east and west.
C. create a world of quietness and mystery.
D. interpret Chinese music in his own way.
53. What does the word in the tenth paragraph "weave" mean?
A. Mix. B. Include. C. Play. D. Show.

Norah Jones had a sleepless night on February 23. The 23-year-old American jazz singer, who found her voice in the small clubs of New York, dominated (統(tǒng)治) the 45th annual Grammy Awards — the music industry's most prestigious (赫赫有名的) award ceremony.
She seemed as surprised as everyone else that her first album, "Come Away With Me", was such a big success. It won her the most wanted awards, including Album of the Year (年度最佳專輯), Song of the Year and Best New Artist.
"I can't believe this, I feel really blessed and really lucky to have this year," said the wide-eyed girl at the ceremony.
Jones grew up in Texas, US, with her mother. Her parents separated before she was born. She began singing in church choirs (唱詩班) at the age of five and started piano lessons two years later.
At the age of 15, Jones entered the High School for the Performing Arts in Washington. She won Best Jazz Singer and Best Original Composition (最佳原創(chuàng)作品) at the 1996 and 1997 Student Music Awards.
She had always enjoyed singing, but felt the piano would be a more solid foundation in life. So Jones chose to study jazz piano music at the University of North Texas for two years before taking a trip to New York city.
The trip started out as a summer vacation. But Jones soon realized she wanted to stay for a while. "The music scene in New York is so huge and exciting. Everything opened up for me. I couldn't leave," she said.
Jones became friends with local songwriters and was inspired (激勵) to write her own songs. She began to sing and play the piano in a band. She got her break in 2001 and released "Come Away With Me" the following year.
The album is a blend (融合) of jazz, country and folk-pop. It has now sold more than 6 million copies around the world and has won much praise from the music industry. "She makes an album that people will remember in 20 years," said American country singer Faith Hill.
What is jazz?
Jazz is generally thought to have begun in New Orleans, US. It developed in the latter part of the 19th century from African work songs, songs of sorrow and hymns (贊美詩). The character of Jazz is spontaneous (自然的) and emotional. It is usually played by small bands made up of a cornet (短號), clarinet (單簧管), trombone (長號) and guitar.

As we all know, the Dragon Boat Festival is our country’s traditional festival, but do you know there is also a Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea, which also falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar(陰歷)? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 聯(lián)合國教科文組織) to make the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival its own intangible cultural heritage (非物質(zhì)的文化遺產(chǎn)). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.
As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China," said Zhou Heping, deputy(副) culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.
It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (愛國者) and admired by ordinary people. www.
He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country's future. When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to frighten away the fish and threw Zongzi into the water to stop the fish touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to come from this search for the poet's body.
Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of the local culture.

When a consumer (消費者) finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty (擔(dān)保), or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, his action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain (投訴) directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favour, taking it as true that he or she has a just right.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question, if this cannot be done,the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo (立體聲音響) does not work".
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she can threaten (恐嚇 ) to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights.
64. When a consumer finds what he bought has a fault in it, he should first__________
A. complain personally to the manager in a loud way
B. show something provable in written form to the store
C. threaten to take the matter to court
D. write a firm letter of complaint to the store
65. If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it's better to complain to _______
A. a shop assistant B. the producer C. a public organization D. the store manager
66. The most effective complaint about what was bought can be made by_______
A. showing the fault of it to the producer B. saying firmly it is of poor quality
C. asking politely to change it D. explaining exactly what is wrong with it
67. The passage tells us __________
A. how to make the complaint have a better effect
B. how to settle a consumer's complaint
C. how to avoid buying something wrong
D. how to deal with complaints from consumers

A possible version:
In the English class last week, we were learning the words to an American song. I was tired that day, having stayed up late the night before to study for a math test. I could not keep my eyes open, and eventually I fell asleep. I dreamed that I was teaching English grammar in a classroom. I must have been a boring teacher, because all of my students were asleep.
Then I woke up, and everyone in my class was laughing at me, even the teacher. They said the teacher had shouted at me to wake me up, and then I had shouted “Wake up” because of my dream! I thought it was pretty funny, too, but I couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
