　　以下是小編為大家整理高一英語上學期的月考複習測試題，希望對大家有所幫助!

　　I. 閱讀理解***共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分***

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，並將答案寫在答題紙上。

　　A

　　The arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.

　　Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang ***團伙***. Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.

　　Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.

　　Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.

Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A blackout was impossible.
