【推荐2】In the Oscar-nominated film Up in the Air (《在云端》), as George Clooney walks through an airport, audiences can hear the familiar sound of a Chinese musical instrument – erhu.
The erhu has become more popular among Hollywood filmmakers. Many composers, directors and producers feel that this instrument can add color and emotion to their films. In the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: At world’s End(《加勒比海盗3：世界的尽头》), we can hear the erhu in Chow Yun-Fat’s scenes. The erhu also appears in Kung Fu Panda and 2012. When people watch these movies, they can enjoy the sound of the erhu.
The erhu is often called “Chinese violin”, but in many ways they are different. Like the violin, the erhu is stringed(有弦的) instrument made of natural wood and played with a bow, but the violin has four strings and the erhu has only two. While the violin is played horizontally, the erhu is played vertically(垂直地). The sounds made by both instruments are different.
The erhu is said to date back to the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907). In classical Chinese music, the erhu is known for its sad sound. The most famous erhu piece is Moonlight on Second Spring(《二泉映月》). It was written by a musician who was born blind and lived most of his short life as a homeless person.
1. The first two paragraphs are written to tell us about _______.| A．Oscar-nominated films |
| B．the use of the erhu in movies |
| C．traditional Chinese musical instruments |
| D．how people feel after hearing the erhu |
| A．Because it can make their films more colorful and emotional. |
| B．Because it matches the sad theme of their films. |
| C．Because audiences in the US enjoy hearing the erhu. |

【推荐3】When people hear a song from their childhood, they may be glad because it can bring back so many good memories. Some musical works, lost for a long time, were played for the first time on BBC Radio 3.
Maddalena Casulana, an Italian composer(作曲家), lived in the 16th century. During that time, most musical works were written by men. Most people thought men were better composers. However, Casulana thought it was not true because nothing could prove(证明) that.
Casulana showed a great talent for music. She was the first woman to publish her own musical works in the history of Western music. She wrote three composition books, one of which has survived(幸存) into the modern day. Like other composition books from the 15th and 16th centuries, Casulana’s composition books were divided into partbooks, with each partbook having a separate book. Unluckily, her alto(中音部的) partbook went missing. Laurie Stras, a professor of music, explained that songs wouldn’t work without the alto part. “It would be like performing a string quintet(弦乐五重奏) without the second violin. It wouldn’t have made sense,” Laurie said.
Laurie took on the task of searching for the missing partbook. She noticed that the partbook disappeared from a library in Poland during the Second World War. Later Laurie found it in the Russian State Library in Moscow. Finally Casulana’ s lost songs could once again appear in the halls of music.
As a woman composer, Casulana made a great difference to Western music. A lot of people admire her. So BBC Radio 3 played her “lost and found” works on International Women’s Day 2022.
1. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?| A．Men composers were more popular in the 16th century. |
| B．Most of musical works were created by men. |
| C．Men did better in musical works than women. |
| A．Poland | B．Italy | C．Russia |
| A．To show respect for the woman composer. | B．To encourage young people to write music. |
| C．To make people enjoy the radio program. | |
| A．Casulana’s music has been found. | B．Casulana was a successful composer. |
| C．Music can remind people of good memories. | |
