If you’ve got a lot of musical ideas in your head, but haven’t got an instrument to help them out, well, there are plenty of websites and apps that could be useful.

Soundwaves is a clever website where you can make music     1     dragging and dropping sounds into place. You can also invite friends to do it with you,     2     (make) tracks together over the Internet.

Loland50 is a free site     3     celebrates some famous drum machines and synthesizer (电子合成器) by letting you play virtual versions of them. It may seem complicated at first sight,     4     actually it is just about clicking to create patterns of drums, then experimenting with virtual dials     5     (change)the sounds.

If you are wanting to do more than just noodle around, software and apps such as Voicetraps and Handlab     6     (give) you a selection of beats, sounds and virtual instruments. They will also let you record singing or playing all by     7     (you).

Finally, Robotlox has its own music-making game     8     (call) Splosh in which you became a virtual DJ. You can create your own tunes from its     9     (collect) of beats and the melodies and play them live to your friends on the dancefloor.

Whether you are making tracks for fun or want a career in music, these tools will get you started and give you the confidence to explore     10     (far).

2 . Dancing is natural and almost any child can dance. However, why do so many people find it hard to dance when they reach their teens or adulthood?     1    

Most people have heard the words “Dance like nobody is watching”.    2     When we’re learning something new, we hate having an audience watching our silly mistakes. Actually, everyone else is too busy worrying about their own mistakes. Chances are that you’re not the only one struggling with the steps!

We all have patterns of muscle memory. Your body likes doing repetitive movements that it doesn’t have to think about.     3     Your brain may understand, but it can take a while to direct them to interpret these new and unfamiliar movements. Be patient with yourself and understand it’s the way your body works.

    4     If you’ve never danced before, the complex rhythms and fast footwork of flamenco(弗拉门科舞) would be a big challenge as the first dance style. If you’re inflexible, I recommend doing some yoga first to make your body get used to the new demands of dance.

A lack of rhythm is the biggest obstacle of learning to dance. However, it can be overcome with enough practice.     5     Then start learning to dance when you begin to feel the beat. Dance can be a very rewarding and enjoyable hobby. Just be patient with yourself and learn to dance.

A．It’s human nature to dislike looking foolish.

B．Dance requires you to move your arms and legs.

C．You’ll be able to do them almost without thinking.

D．Try to master dance steps first if you have no sense of rhythm.

E．Learning a musical instrument is a good way to learn singing.

F．There are many things preventing people from learning dancing.

G．Another possibility is that you picked an improper style of dance.

If you do not have an     1     to join a local choir or have trouble finding like-minded friends, a virtual choir is your best choice, which involves setting up equipment, recording performances in the studio or just at home,     2     the videos onto the internet and putting them together. This creative idea, enabling not only music tents’ but also an     3     individual’s voice to be added to others’, comes from an award-winning composer and conductor, Whitacre. When in college, he fell in love with     4     music, devoting most energy and soul to it. In 2009, inspired by a video about a girl singing one of his     5     compositions, Whitacre created the first virtual choir, receiving millions of views on the internet and becoming a worldwide phenomenon ever since.

9 . 阅读下而材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.

Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.

Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.

It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.

That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.

After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

One day, however, Mary came with good news.
