2015湖南宁远一中高三一模英语试题及答案(5)

Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.
However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don’t need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.
A final point to bear in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.
    So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!

Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.    
In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high schoo1. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school. 
      Even though they’ve done this already in the middle schoo1, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And most schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the schoo1. This can help students and parents to find different places of the schoo1. 
    One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of schoo1. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications. The school office will have a 1ist of activities offered at the schoo1 and information on how to join them.
    What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries and ask for help from teachers and school workers.
