Country music is a mix of traditional music and popular music.There are many branches（分支） of country music，such as cowboy，bluegrass and country rock.Country music usually talks about everyday life and feelings.It’s slow，simple and easy to understand.
Country music first developed in the southern United States.It was the folk music of American countryside at first.Many of the songs talked about the life of farmers there.The main topics were love，crops and death.It seemed that the sound of the violin and the guitar took people to mountains and fields（田野） when people listened to country music.
Rural life could be hard，so the words in country music always sounded a little sad.In the beginning，people played country music only at family parties.But it became more popular later.In the 1920s，country music was heard on the radio，and later it was made into records.
When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work，they took their music with them.Then country music continued to change and became popular across America.
John Denver was one of America’s most famous country sin gers in the 1970s.His song Take Me Home，Country Roads is well-known and is still played by many people today.

Now，we have been talking about music in its more common meaning— 31. But if we look at some parts of music more closely，we find them in our everyday life too—in the rhythm （节奏） of the sea，the sin ging of a bird in the woods and so on. 32.

第三节（共5个小题：每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。（34至37题每题答案不超过3个单词。38题须用完整句子回答。）
Music is different from songs.Songs express feelings with lyrics，but music with tones（音调）.Unlike songs，music tones in themselves have no specific meanings.
Different people may get different things from the same musical performance.Though some music works are difficult to understand，people need music in their daily life because it brings fun to them.Different people like different music：some love classical music，and others take an interest in pop music.Most young people like pop music.
Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 1960s.The best-known early kind of pop music was “rock and roll”.Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world.It has caused the number of people for “jazz” music to become much smaller than in the 1950s and earlier，and it has now begun to become the most popular.Much pop music is without
artistic value（价值），but the works of some pop sin gers such as The Beatles，Bob Dylan，the groups like Pink Floyd and Crosby are excellent.And there is still great interest in it today.Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.
34. The biggest difference between music and songs is .
35. Music works can bring fun to us，so we in our daily life.

it is today.

My Favorite Book
My favorite book is Jane Eyre and it is written by Charlotte Bronte.Actually
Jane Eyre is a book whose theme is of love.In the story，Jane Eyre lived a hard life，
but she was self-confident.In her heart，there is always a mind that if you hold a
belief and stick to it，you will achieve your dream in the end.What impressed me
most is her saying，“I have as much soul as you，and full as much heart！And if
God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth，I should have made it as hard
for you to leave me，as it is now for me to leave you.”
From the book Jane Eyre，I have learned a lot which will push me further in my life.
