問題詳情：

(2019·河北調研)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 self­confidence, 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 self­expression, and that helps develop their self­confidence.

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.

【回答】

16.B　細節理解題。根據第一段第二句“Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience.”，第三句中的“They could improve their classroom skills ...”和第五句“Making music also lets children use their imagination.”可知B正確。

17.C　詞義猜測題。B、D兩項中的動詞均無法和“a computer”及“TV screen”構成動賓關係；A項中的“unwilling to turn on”與前後語境矛盾；再根據本句意在強調音樂對孩子的積極作用可知，電腦或電視對孩子將不再有吸引力。孩子們不再像以前那樣離不開或迷戀電視或電腦。故選C。

18.D　段落大意題。根據第三段首句“Music builds self­confidence, too.(音樂也能幫助孩子構建自信。)”可知，D項正確。

19.A　標題判斷題。第一段第一句“The arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level.”即文章的主題句，文章最後一句再次對此進行呼應；再根據概括標題需遵循“針對*、概括*、醒目*”的原則可知，A為最佳*。
