七、阅读下面短文,回答短文后的问题(共 4 小题;1—3 题每小题 2 分,第 4 题 3 分,满分 9 分)
Jordan Benissan starts his show by drumming. He hits the drums with his hands. Sometimes in the centre,sometimes on the side,sometimes with a quick brush of the drum’s surface(表面).
When Benissan was a child,he didn’t have enough money to buy a musical instrument,so he called on his creativity. He collected an empty coffee can,a string(弦),and a bow-shaped(弓形的)stick. He tried to make an instrument by hand. He cut a hole in the bottom of the coffee can for the string to go through. Then he tied each end of the string to the bow. When he played it,he sat on the floor and strummed(弹拨)the string. The sound was beautiful.
Benissan uses drums of many shapes and sizes when he plays. Those different drums,he says,make up a family. His drum family has a father,a mother,an elder brother,a daughter,twins,and a baby brother. These instruments,Benissan says,give music its heartbeat.
When the drum family works together,it makes a composition(乐曲)more beautiful than any of the instrument can make alone. Benissan believes that the same idea works for people.
“As a member of a community in Africa,everybody is very important,” Benissan says. “Whether you are small or big,you can do something for the whole group.”
Music plays an important role in Togo,which is a country of more than five million people. A master musician in Togo is a performer,a teacher,a historian,a doctor,and a voice for the community. The people of Togo use music to understand and connect to the past. People there make music a part of everyday life. When there is a community project to finish,such as building a school,people throughout the community join in the work. They come not just with tools but with instruments. So the music comes together with the work and brings happiness to the task.

七、阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题（共4小题；1—3题每小题2分，第4题3分，满分9分）
乔丹·贝尼桑以击鼓开启他的表演。他用手击打鼓面。有时击打鼓的中心，有时击打鼓的边缘，有时快速拂过鼓的表面。
当贝尼桑还是个孩子的时候，他没有足够的钱买乐器，所以他发挥了自己的创造力。他收集了一个空咖啡罐、一根弦和一根弓形的棍子。他试图手工制作一种乐器。他在咖啡罐的底部切了一个洞，让弦穿过去。然后他把弦的两端系在弓上。当他演奏时，他坐在地板上弹拨弦。声音很美妙。
贝尼桑演奏时会使用各种形状和大小的鼓。他说，那些不同的鼓组成了一个家庭。他的鼓家庭有一个父亲、一个母亲、一个哥哥、一个女儿、一对双胞胎和一个小弟弟。贝尼桑说，这些乐器赋予了音乐心跳。
当鼓家庭一起演奏时，它会使一首乐曲比任何一种乐器单独演奏时都更美妙。贝尼桑认为同样的道理也适用于人。
“作为非洲一个社区的成员，每个人都非常重要，”贝尼桑说。“无论你是渺小还是伟大，你都可以为整个群体做些事情。”
音乐在多哥起着重要的作用，多哥是一个有五百多万人的国家。多哥的一位音乐大师是表演者、教师、历史学家、医生，也是社区的代言人。多哥人民用音乐来了解和连接过去。那里的人们把音乐作为日常生活的一部分。当有一个社区项目要完成时，比如建一所学校，整个社区的人都会参与这项工作。他们不仅带着工具来，还带着乐器来。所以音乐和工作结合在一起，给这项任务带来了快乐。
前3题每题的答案不超过10个词，第4题的答案词数不限。
1. 贝尼桑为什么要制作自己的乐器？______
2. 贝尼桑的鼓家庭里有多少种乐器？______
3. 贝尼桑鼓励人们做什么？______
