exciting meaning concert close like
develop everyone beauty who it
To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody.
Many people get along quite well without going to 1. or listening to records. But music plays an important part in 2. life, whether they realize it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be 3. without music. Would the feelings, the moving stories and the great interests be so 4. or dramatic(戏剧性的)? I am not sure about it.
Now, we have been speaking of music in 5. more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more 6. , we can discover them in our everyday life too—in the rhythm of the sea, the melody(旋律) of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has 7. for everyone. It has special meaning for those 8. have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, “Through music a child enters a world of 9. , expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things all by himself, learns to take care of others, 10. his mind and makes his body strong.”
Nothing is worth living for without music.

1. concerts
2. everyone's
3. like
4. exciting
5. its
6. closely
7. meaning
8. who
9. beauty
10. develops

【分析】
本题为语篇填空题，解题思路如下：①先明确方框内单词的词义、词性；②通读全文，把握文章主旨（音乐对生活的重要性）；③结合每个空的上下文语境、语法结构（如名词复数、所有格、固定搭配、副词修饰动词、定语从句关系词等），选择合适单词并转换为正确形式。
【解析】
1. 空1：固定搭配go to concerts意为“去听音乐会”，此处用concert的复数形式表泛指，故填concerts。
2. 空2：此处表示“音乐在每个人的生活中”，需用everyone的所有格形式everyone's修饰名词life，故填everyone's。
3. 空3：固定搭配be like意为“像……”，符合语境“没有音乐的影视剧会是什么样子”，故填like。
4. 空4：此处需形容词与dramatic并列，结合语境“感受、故事是否如此令人兴奋或戏剧性”，选exciting，故填exciting。
5. 空5：修饰名词meaning需用形容词性物主代词，it的形容词性物主代词为its，意为“它的更普遍的意义”，故填its。
6. 空6：修饰动词短语look at需用副词，close的副词形式为closely，意为“更仔细地看”，故填closely。
7. 空7：此处表示“音乐对每个人都有意义”，选名词meaning，故填meaning。
8. 空8：定语从句先行词those指人，关系代词用who，故填who。
9. 空9：介词of后接名词，beauty为名词，意为“美丽”，符合“进入美丽的世界”，故填beauty。
10. 空10：主语a child为第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，develop的第三人称单数形式为develops，故填develops。

Ⅲ. 阅读理解
On a cold January morning, a man sat in a subway station in Washington D. C. and started to play the violin. He played for about 45 minutes.
Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to take care of his own things.
A minute later, the violinist received his first tip: A woman threw some money without stopping, and walked away.
Only a 3-year-old boy took the music seriously. He went over, sat down and soon lost himself in the wonderful performance. His mother wished to hurry along, but the kid kept looking at the violinist.
When he finished playing, no one noticed it. No one applauded. Everyone just walked by as if nothing much was happening.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell had played the same music on the same violin at a theatre where seats cost 100 each.
Joshua Bell's playing in the subway station was a social experiment. It asks questions: In a common environment at a wrong hour, do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop to make a response(反应)? If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we ignoring(忽视)?
1. Who stopped to listen to the music carefully?
A. A little boy.
B. A young woman.
C. A middle-aged man.
D. A young man.
2. What does the underlined word "applauded" mean?
A. Cheered.
B. Argued.
C. Regretted.
D. Feared.
3. What's the man's purpose of playing the violin in the subway station?
A. To make some money.
B. To see people's response.
C. To practise his skills.
D. To teach a music lesson.
4. What does the writer suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Don't be always in a hurry.
B. Stop to enjoy street performances.
C. Enjoy beautiful music at a theatre.
D. Don't miss the wonderful moments in life.
5. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A subway story.
B. A music survey.
C. A social experiment.
D. A talented musician.
