The most famous treasure on show in Hubei Museum is the Chime Bells. The bells cannot be shown abroad, which is the rule made to protect them.

These chime bells were uncovered in the tomb of Marquis Yi. 65 chime bells include 19 niu bells, 45 yong bells and one bo bell. They hung on a frame.

It is said that the king of Chu loved music. He also knew that Marquis Yi, the ruler of the neighbor state Zeng, shared this love for musical performances. The king had even visited the Marquis during his lifetime. So, when he learned of the Marquis’s death, he wanted a special gift to send as part of what would be placed in the Marquis’s tomb. He ordered his man to make the most wonderful bell and then wrote words on it. The skillful master made it. The bo bell was three feet high and weighed 297 pounds. It was—and still is the largest musical instrument yet known.

The largest one and another sixty-four bells were put in order by size—an order that also showed the different types of musical tunes. The bells have no clappers and are sounded by hitting against them. After over 1,000 years, the bells still sound perfect, ready to play melodies local and foreign, classic and modem.

Indeed, musical instruments have a very long tradition in China. Bells and drums, from the Shang Dynasty onward, were part of the musical show. During the Zhou Dynasty and then the Warring States Period that followed, they were used in battles to warn armies as well as to give messages during military attacks. Anyway, the music was still used especially for special celebrations. Various instruments opened up a very attractive world of sounds.

26．Why did the king of Chu order his man to make the bell?

A．He was interested in music and the bell. B．He made it as a present for Marquis Yi.

C．He decided to share his love for the bell. D．He hoped to be remembered by Marquis Yi.

27．Which picture shows the part of the chime bells?

A． B．

C． D．

28．Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?

A．Most of the bells were large and heavy, weighing as much as 297 pounds.

B．The chime bells are allowed to be sent to some museums in other countries.

C．Now musicians are able to play a certain piece of music using the chime bells.

D．Bells and drums were only used during the wars to give warning in ancient times.

C

Your smartphone isn't listening to you- -but does secretly watch everything you do.

able to control microphones in smart devices to secretly record audio to help them better

target (把...对准某群体) advertisements showed online. 

Smartphone users have complained of the frightening feeling for years- -their apps are

record footage(镜头:片段) and screenshots of what users are doing. The software then send

this information to a third party for analysis.

footage to mobile analytics company Appsee. The app, which has been downloaded more

than 100,000 times from Google Play Store, took footage of a screen that asked for

customers to list their zip code. Once this issue was brought to.our attention, the company

immediately disabled tacking capabilities(跟踪能力) for the mentioned app and removed

all recording data from our servers.

四、六选四阅读

Many people know the music John Williams wrote for the film Jaws(《大白盐》). As .

soon as you bear it you begin thinking that a shark will attack And that is exactly what you

are meant to think. On the big screen, Jaws is a scary film. However, if you watch it without

the music, it becomes boring. The music tells you to be frightened about what you are seeing.

Good film scores( 电影配乐) always signal how to feel about what is happening on the

screen.

_37_ He did the music for many films, such as The Dark Knight, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lion King. Zimmer and Williams have very different styles and ideas for

film scones. There are people who do not like Zimmer's scores because they sometimes do

not stand out enough. 38    When you leave a film, you should not be saying. "Wow !

Great music!" Instead, you should be saying,“Wow! Great films!"

A third, very different kind of film composer is Tan Dun.__ 39_ Tan started out as a

musician for the Peking Opera However, he fell in love with Western classical music, and

started writing classical Western operas that show a strong touch of Chinese music. Like his

operas. the scores for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Hero use Chinese musical

instruments and styles in a western classical music scores. The music follows all the rules of

most film scores- the purpose is to tell you how to feel about the action in the film, and to

help tell the story. However, perhaps because of Tan's background in classical music, his

scores can stand alone as works of art without needing a film to support them.

Film scores are almost always forms of classical music. However, unlike most classical

music they have never been considered high art40   

1.  Perhaps with Tan Dun, this will begin to change.
2. No one can talk about film scores without talking about Hans Zimmer.

C. They can never reach an agreement.

D. Unlike many film composers, he has classical music background.

E. Of course, in many ways, that is not the point.

F. William is not alone in making audience feel so.
