1、2023年英语六级背诵作文50篇 01The Language of Music A painter hangs his or her finished pictures on a wall, and everyone can see it.A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed.Profeional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them.A
2、student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor.Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete ora ballet dancer.Singers practice breathing every day, as their v
3、ocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support.String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right armtwo entirely different movements. Singers and instruments have to be able to get every note perfectly in tun
4、e.Pianists are spared this particular anxiety,for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuners responsibility to tune the instrument for them.But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the string have to be coaxed not to sound like percuion, and each over
5、lapping tone has to sound clear. This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sound with fanatical but selfle authority. Technique is of no use unl
6、e it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding.Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century. 02 Schooling and Education It is commonly believed in United States that school is where people go to
7、get an education.Neverthele, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling.Education knows no bounds.It can take pl
8、ace anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor.It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning.The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the rad
9、io, from a child to a distinguished scientist.Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises.A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions.People are engaged in education from infancy on.Education,
10、 then, is a very broad, inclusive term.It is a lifelong proce, a proce that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of ones entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific,formalized proce, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the n
11、ext.Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take aigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on.The slices of reality that are to be learned,whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the working of go
12、vernment,have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught.For example, high school students know that there not likely to find out in their claes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.There are definite con
13、ditions surrounding the formalized proce of schooling. 03 The Definition of “Price” Prices determine how resources are to be used.They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers.The price system of the United States is a complex network com
14、posed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, profeional,transportation, and public-utility services.The interrelationships of all these prices make up the system of prices.The price of any particular product or serv
15、ice is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or le upon everything else. If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define price, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or s
16、ervice or, in other words that price is the money values of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction.This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes.For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction,much more than the amount of money involved must be kno
17、wn.Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discoun
18、ts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors.In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total package being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that
19、they may evaluate a given price. 04 Electricity The modern age is an age of electricity.People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them.When there is a power failure, people grope about in flickering candleligh
20、t, cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators. Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago.Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for million of years.Scie
21、ntists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity. All living cell send out tiny pulses of electricity.As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of record; they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to
22、determine how well the heart is working.The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram.The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them.But in some anim
23、als, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all.When large numbers of these cell are linked together, the effects can be astonishing. The electric eel is an amazing storage battery.It can seed a jolt of as much as eight hundr
24、ed volts of electricity through the water in which it live.( An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As many as four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eels body are specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to
25、length of its body. 05 The Beginning of Drama There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece.The on most widely accepted today is based on the aumption that drama evolved from ritual.The argument for this view goes as follows.In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural
26、forces of the world-even the seasonal changes-as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these unknown and feared powers.Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals.Eventually stories arose
27、which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites.As time paed some rituals were abandoned,but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama. Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because m
28、usic,dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used, Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the acting area and the auditorium. In addition, there were performers,and, since con
29、siderable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually aumed that task.Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect-succe in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the re
30、vival of the Sun-as an actor might.Eventually such dramaticrepresentations were separated from religious activities. Another theory traces the theaters originfrom the human interest in storytelling.According to this vies tales (aboutthe hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first t
31、hrough theuse of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through theaumption of each of the roles by a different person.A closely related theorytraces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic orthat are imitations of animal movements and sounds. 06 Telev
32、ision Television-the most pervasive andpersuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth-is movinginto a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, whichpromises to reshape our lives and our world.It is an electronic revolution ofsorts, made poible by the mar
33、riage of television and computer technologies. The word television, derivedfrom its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (visio: sight) roots, can literally beinterpreted as sight from a distance.Very simply put, it works in this way:through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides thec
34、apability of converting an image (focused on a special photoconductive platewithin a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire orcable.These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then beelectronically reconstituted into that same image. Television is more
35、than just an electronicsystem, however.It is a means of expreion, as well as a vehicle forcommunication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other humanbeings. The field of television can be divided intotwo categories determined by its means of transmiion.First, there isbroadcast televi
36、sion, which reaches the maes through broad-based airwave transmiionof television signals.Second, there is nonbroadcast television, which providesfor the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlledtransmiion techniques. Traditionally, television has been a mediumof the maes.We
37、 are most familiar with broadcast television because it hasbeen with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what existstoday.During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by thebroadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, who have been the major purveyors ofnews, information
38、, and entertainment.These giants of broadcasting haveactually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well.We havecome to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing ourrole in this dynamic medium as the paive viewer. 07 Andrew Carnegie Andrew Carnegie, known as t
39、he King of Steel,built the steel industry in the United States, and , in the proce, became oneof the wealthiest men in America.His succe resulted in part from his abilityto sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods ofeconomic decline, when most of his competitors were
40、reducing their investments. Carnegie believed that individuals shouldprogre through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy shoulduse their fortunes for the benefit of society.He opposed charity, preferringinstead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to helpthem
41、selves.He who dies rich, dies disgraced, he often said. Among his more noteworthy contributions tosociety are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute ofPittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum ofnational history.He also founded a school of technology th
42、at is now part ofCarnegie-Mellon University.Other philanthrophic gifts are the CarnegieEndowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, theCarnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hallto provide a center for the arts. Few Americans have be
43、en left untouched byAndrew Carnegies generosity.His contributions of more than five milliondollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the countryand formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today. 08 American Revolution The American Revolution was no
44、t a sudden andviolent overturning of the political and social framework, such as lateroccurred in France and Ruia, when both were already independent nations.Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking.Whathappened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution.Dur
45、ing theconflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing.Mostof them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of themore isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on. Americas War of Independence heralded thebirth of three modern nations.One was Ca
46、nada, which received its first largeinflux of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fledthere from the United States.Another was Australia, which became a penalcolony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors.Thethird newcomer-the United States-base
47、d itself squarely on republicanprinciples. Yet even the political overturn was not sorevolutionary as one might suppose.In some states, notably Connecticut andRhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing.British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-gr
48、own governingcla, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament. 09 Suburbanization If by suburb is meant an urbanmargin that grows more rapidly than its already developed interior, the proceof suburbanization began during the emergence of the industrial city in thesecond quarter
49、of the nineteenth century.Before that period the city was asmall highly compact cluster in which people moved about on foot and goods wereconveyed by horse and cart.But the early factories built in the 1840s werelocated along waterways and near railheads at the edges of cities, and housingwas needed for
