36-40 The following is an essay entitled “Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven”, but with scrambled paragraphs. Go over it and decide upon the correct order of the paragraphs to compose an effective essay. A. These three composers had some differences in their musical education. Haydn was born in an ordinary farmhouse, liked to sing songs with his parents, and mimic playing the violin. His father wanted him to be a musician. So he entered music school at age six. Like Haydn, Mozart's family was also musical. His father was a good violinist. At an early age, Mozart could remember tunes and recognize easy chords on the harpsichord. But unlike Haydn, who went to school at an early age, Mozart started composing at age five and performing at age six. Although Beethoven was also born into a musical family, his music education began later in his childhood. A chapel organist taught him to play the organ, and he became a cymbalist in a theater orchestra at age twelve. B. In conclusion, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven had different musical educations, working styles and achievements. Their lives, their compositions, and their greatness came out of all these features, and they used their talents faithfully to become three of the most admired composers of all time. C. Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven were the greatest composers of their age. They knew each other. In fact, Haydn influenced Mozart’s music, and he was one of Beethoven's teachers. Even though they were associated with each other, they had their own lives. Mozart died earlier than the other two, and Beethoven was deaf. Therefore, it is interesting to compare their musical educations, working styles, and achievements. D. The achievements of these three composers were also different. Although they all composed instrumental music, Haydn tried to use different instruments together to make rich sounds. He was also the founder of secular music, because he was interested in different people's songs and dances. Mozart’s musical emphasis was different from Haydn’s. He wrote music for symphonies, concertos, and string quartets. He also developed sacred music. Beethoven, however, worked to join the intellectual part of music with the emotions. To do this, he changed the traditional use of the instruments and enlarged their scaled. E. Their working styles were more different than their education. Haydn liked a calm, quiet place to work, and he always wore neat, clean clothes while he was composing. In contrast, Mozart did not care where he composed. According to Konard (1992), “He was able to jot down whatever works he liked, whenever he liked, wherever he happened to be". He even composed while he was playing billiards. Beethoven's style was not like Haydn’s or Mozart’s. Beethoven was only able to compose when he strong emotions. Sometimes these moments happened even when he was taking a walk. 段落按照排序依次填入：36.____ 37.____ 38.____ 39.____ 40.____ 现在请填写第36题答案。（填一个大写字母即可）
I Have His Genes But Not His Genius
It's Christmas Eve 2040, and I'm the only bartender still working that afternoon, and the house is practically empty. I see this guy down at the end of the bar, sitting by himself. I bring him a fresh drink, and wish him greetings of the season. He looks at me, sort of funny, and says: "Do you know who I am？"
I admit I don't.
"Here, maybe this will help," he says, and he pulls a little picture out of his wallet. Art old portrait, really old, like centuries old. It's a young man in profile: sharp nose, weak chin, definite resemblance to ray friend here. At the bottom, there's a caption: "W. A. Mozart."
Now it's my turn to look at him funny. Then it hits me like a brick. "You're that clone guy," I say. "The guy in the papers back in the '20s."
"In the flesh. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I have his brain, his heart, his DNA. He's my father and my mother and my brother. He's my identical twin, except I was born 247 years later."
So he starts talking. It takes him a long time to explain, and I didn't get it all, but I got a lot.
In 2001, Congress passed a ban on cloning humans, but of course mad scientists went ahead with secret cloning.
And then, there was this software billionaire who was nuts about Mozart, and was especially nuts about Mozart's Requiem. He set up a secret institute in Switzerland and hired some top biologists and told them they'd get $1 million each for every baby they cloned from Mozart's DNA.
In 2003, the institute managed to bring four babies to term. Two died shortly after birth. Two survived. But then this software billionaire died, and his company collapsed, and so did his cloning institute. One baby Mozart was put up for adoption anonymously. No one knows what happened to that one. The other baby was adopted by one of the scientists, who was a big Mozart fan herself.
"And that's me," he says.
His mother, of course, didn't tell him or anyone else who he was, but she told the boy how special he was, how he was a genius, what a great composer he could be, trying to push her little Mozart toward music.
But the 2010s weren't the 1760s. The boy may have had talent, but he also had his own priorities, and they didn't include violin sonatas. He liked rock music and he liked it loud, and then as he got older he liked beer and girls. The harder his mother pushed him to be a great composer, the less he wanted to be one. After a while his mother gave up. By the time he was 2o, he had a decent job working in a frame shop. And that's when the roof fell in.
Some reporter got wind of the institute and the cloning experiment and tracked him down. But no one could prove he was a clone of Mozart without digging up the original, so the media treated him as a joke. It just crushed him. He tried running away. He joined a Buddhist monastery in Japan. One day, while he was there, he heard the Requiem. Not for the first time, but this time it was different.
"My God, it was beautiful!" he says. "I felt a realization explode inside my head. I just felt it somehow: It rang inside of me. I'd finish it, or die trying." He knew that if he could finish the Requiem, he'd be famous for real, a genius instead of a fool. He immersed himself in Mozart's music. Nights, weekends, all the time, he drove himself, working on the Requiem.
"And？ What happened？"
"I turned 37 four months ago. I've been working on the Requiem for 15 years. Mozart died when he was 35. I should have finished the Requiem two years ago."
"And you haven't."
He looks at me for a while and shakes his head, "You don't understand. I have his genes but not his genius."
And with that he drops a tip on the bar and is gone. I never saw him again. If the Requiem was ever finished, I never heard about it.
W. A. Mozart was a great(1)who lived in the 18th century. He died young, leaving his masterpiece Requiem unfinished. At the(2)of the 21st century, a billionaire who was crazy about the Requiem set up a(3)institute and hired some top biologists to(4)babies from Mozart's DNA. The institute succeeded in producing four babies but only two survived. One was(5)by a woman, who was also among the research group. She had been trying to push the little Mozart toward(6). However, the boy had his own priorities, and all the mother's efforts turned out fruitless. The boy grew up into an(7)person. Then something happened, and totally changed his life. A reporter heard about the institute and the experiment, and found the young man. As he couldn't(8)that he was the copy of Mozart, the media treated him as a(9). It was a great blow to him. He swore to finish the Requiem to show to the whole world. He immersed himself in the Requiem day and night. Fifteen years passed, and he achieved nothing. Eventually he realized that he only had Mozart's genes but not his(10).
But some people did not believe that a little boy could write such beautiful music. They asked him to stay in a room all by himself for a week and somebody watched the room all the time. In the week, he finished a new piece of music. After that, people believed that he could write beautiful music.
Mozart died when he was still a young man. During his short life he studied music, taught music, played music and wrote music. Even by working so hard, he couldn't make much money. Often he had to borrow money from his friends. But his music made him happy, and for more than two hundred years, his music has made many other people happy.
(14)
A．He visited many different countries with his elder sister.
B．He started to show interest in music.
C．He often had lessons with his sister.
D．He started to take music lessons from his father.
Beethoven was born in the German city of Bonn, in 1770. His father was a singer in the Church choir, and he soon saw that Ludwig had musical ability. The father thought that Ludwig might be another wonder-child, like Mozart, and that he would make the family's name and fortune. He forced the little boy to practice long hours on the violin.
Mozart's father had been kind, but Beethoven's father was impatient and often rough with him. Also, Beethoven's father was not reliable in earning a living for his family. As young Ludwig grew up he had to take a great deal of responsibility. When he was 15, and was working in the Church as assistance organist, Ludwig was practically supporting the family.
But he had kind teachers and some good friends, and he was lucky enough to get a position playing the viola in the opera orchestra in Bonn. There he became familiar with the operas of Mozart and other composers, and he learned a great deal about the instruments of the orchestra and how they played together. This was to be valuable to him later in his own composing.
When he decided to go to Vienna to study, the Archbishop at Bonn paid for his journey and other friends gave him letters to noblemen in Vienna. Beethoven was a very fine pianist, besides being able to play the violin and other stringed instruments. The Viennese music-lovers quickly adopted him as a favorite concert performer. But they criticized every new work of Beethoven's because it was too different.
The Viennese soon realized that they had an extraordinary genius living among them, and they made every effort to keep him. When Beethoven had an offer to go to another city as an orchestra conductor, three noblemen of Vienna banded together to pay him a regular income every year if he would stay with them, He stayed, and went on composing his big, powerful symphonies, concertos, piano sonatas and many other works.
But except for his music, Beethoven was not a happy man. Before he was 30, he began to grow deaf. This was a terrible misfortune for a musician. His deafness came slowly and he was able to continue playing concerts until he was 44. But 10 years later, when his great Ninth Symphony was performed for the first time, he could not hear at all. He was sitting on the stage at the performance, watching the conductor, and he had his back to the audience. One of the singers turned him around so that he could see the audience enthusiastically applauding this tremendous symphony.
Beethoven was a lonely man. Although he had fallen in love several times, he never married. His deafness made him still more lonely, for he would not go out in public at all. But he rose above his loneliness and deafness through his music. Even when he was totally deaf, he went on creating music that he could not hear except in his mind, expressing all the feelings he could not express to anyone in words.
rescription pad and writes a word on it. The word isn't "aspirin", it's "Mozart".
Many kinds of music can stir the imagination and produce strong feeling. For some people, romantic composers such as Chopin and Tchaikovsky enhance feelings of love and compassion. Religious and spiritual music can help some people feel peace or lessen their pain. But one musician seems to have a unique ability to heal the human body—Mozart. Scientists have found Mozart's music to be remarkable in its ability to calm its listeners. It can also increase their perception, and help them express themselves more clearly.
Many amazing cases have been documented using Mozart as a healing aid．For example, a tiny premature baby (早产婴儿) named Krissy, who weighed just 1.5 pound at birth, was on total life suppor. Doctors thought she had little chance of survival. Her mother insisted on playing Mozart for Krissy, and thinks it saved her daughter's life. Krissy lived, but she was very small for her age and slower than the average child．At the age of four, she showed an interest in music and her parents gave her violin lessons. To their astonishment, Krissy was able to play musical pieces from memory that were far beyond the ability of an average four-year-old．Playing music helped her improve in all areas of her life.
Other stories have emerged about the effect of Mozart's music．Officials in Washington State report that new arrivals from Asia learn English more quickly when they listen to Mozart. In Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Mozart string quartets (弦乐四重奏) in city squares seem to calm pedestrian traffic．Even animals and seemingly inanimate objects respond to Mozart. In France, cows serenaded(对……唱/奏小夜曲) with Mozart give more milk, and in Japan, the yeast used to make sake (日本清酒) is ten times better when it "listens" to Mozart.
Why Mozart, rather than Bach or the Beatles？ Any kind of music can have an effect on some people. But Mozart has more balance. It isn't too fast or too slow; it's just right. Don Campbell, who wrote a book called The Mozart Effect, says, "It's like food．A hot spicy meal will affect you differently than a sweet dessert. And while you might love these foods, they aren't good for you to eat every day. You need simple, nutritious food on a steady basis. That's the way Mozart is. It's like a nutritionally balanced meal that brings order and harmony to your body."
This passage is mainly about______
A．the influence of music on people's mood
B．the miracle effect of Mozart's music on people
C．the difference between Mozart and other musicians
D．the similarity between music and food
M: Yes. I think it's very important that leaders should have a wide variety of interests. If you are just a politician and nothing but a politician, you gradually drive yourself into the ground. You become very inward-looking, very narrow-minded and then you don't look after the electorate. But if you've got other interests, you come back to problems with a fresh mind and you can serve your electors much better than you could otherwise.
W: Where did this interest of yours come from？ Was yours a musical family？
M: It wasn't musical in the sense that Mozart's father was a professional musician and Bach had brothers and sons who were musicians. But my mother and father both wanted to encourage me and my brother in music. He became a violinist while I was a pianist.
What's Edward Allsop's profession？
A．A violinist.
B．A pianist.
C．a musician.
D．a politician.
But first, the essence: Is there something about the brain cells work to explain the effect？ In 1978 the neuroscientist Vernon Mountcastle devised a model of the neural structure of the brain's gray matter. Looking like a thick band of colorful bead work, it represents the firing patterns of groups of neurons. Building on Mounteastle, Shaw and his team constructed a model of their own. On a lark, Xiaodan Leng, who was Shaw's colleague at the time, used a synthesizer to translate these patterns into music. What came out of the speakers wasn't exactly toe-tapping, but it was music. Shaw and Leng inferred that music and brain-wave activity are built on the same sort of patterns.
"Gordon is a contrarian in his thinking," says his longtime friend, Nobel Prize-winning Stanford physicist Martin Peri. "That's important. In new areas of science, such as brain research, nobody knows how to do it."
What do neuroscientists and psychologists think of Shaw's findings？' They haven't condemned it, but neither have they confirmed it. Maybe you have to take them with a grain of salt, but the experiments by Shaw and his colleagues are intriguing. In March a team led by Shaw announced that young children who had listened to the Mozart sonata and studied the piano over a period of months improved their scores by 27% on a test of ratios and proportions. The control group against which they were measured received compatible enrichment courses--minus the music. The Mozart-trained kids are now doing math three grade levels ahead of their peers, Shaw claims.
Proof of all this, of course, is necessarily elusive because it can be difficult to do a double- blind experiment of educational techniques. In a double-blind trial of an arthritis drug, neither the study subjects nor the experts evaluating them know which ones got the test treatment and which a dummy pill. How do you keep the participants from knowing it's Mozart on the CD？
In the first paragraph Gordon Shaw's concern is shown over ______.
A．the open hostility by the media towards his findings
B．his strength to keep trying out the "Mozart effect"
C．a widespread misunderstanding of his findings
D．the sharp disagreement about his discovery
补充习题： Down on the brick floor of the University of Maryland’s Davidge Hall, a noted professor of medicine is about to perform a most unusual postmortem. Although this domed amphitheater with its steeply rising seats has hosted medical lectures and demonstrations for more than 200 years, today’s offering is exceptional, for the deceased’s remains are nowhere in sight. And at the conclusion of the autopsy, a string quarter will present a program of 18th-century music. The occasion is the university’s sixth annual historical clinical pathology conference. Each year the university’s medical school invites a physician to diagnose the mysterious maladies of historical figures ranging from Edgar Allan Poe to Alexander the Great. This year’s patient is a 35-year-old male who died in Vienna after a two-week illness. His body was consigned to a common grave, but his genius still resounds in concert halls the world over. Controversy has surrounded this particular case history, Fitzgerald explains, because of the deceased’s celebrity status: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s death “wouldn’t have been mysterious at all if Wolfgang Amadeus Muller had died that December night.” Strastruck physicians have since ascribed Mozart’s death to more than 100 causes. “Each of these [diagnoses] is argued with a passion disproportionate to the data,” Fitzgerald points out. “And of course, Mozart died of syphilis as well as everything else, because every great man dies of syphilis.” According to musicologist Neal Zaslaw of Cornell University, who sketches a brief Mozart biography, the death and burial entries in two church registers list the cause of death as “severe miliary fever,” a generic descriptor at the time for any syndrome marked by a seedlike rash. Press reports of his passing supplied such colorful and sinister diagnosis as poisoning, venereal disease, and dropsy of the heart, the 18th-century term for fluid retention and severe swelling. Thus, overweight imaginations and the sands of time have turned tragedy into a medical mystery aching to be solved. That’s just the sort of material that appeals to the school’s vice chair of medicine, Philip Mackowiak, who launched the conference six years ago after reading an account in a Maryland historical magazine of Edgar Allan Poe’s final days. He hired an actor to play Poe and asked his colleague Michael Benitez to review the writer’s medical history. The diagnosis — death by rabies — was topped off, appropriately enough, with a monologue from Poe’s story The Black Cat. The rabies theory attracted enough attention to become a question on the TV game show Jeopardy. It’s instructive, too, to watch another physician work through a case without the benefit of modern technology, says Sehdev. In Mozart’s example, the most compelling symptom — anasarca— has three common causes: liver disease, kidney disease, and congestive heart failure. Lacking modern lab techniques, Fitzgerald must use deductive reasoning. 26. Fitzgerald points of _________ is the fundamental cause of Mozart's death.
A、miliary fever
B、rheumatic fever
C、kidney disease
D、delirium
