May 7th 1840 was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the son of a mining inspector Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later studied composition at the St Petersburg Conservatory His greatest period of productivity occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which time he enjoyed patronage of Madame von Meck, a woman he never met, who gave him a yearly living stipend Madame von Meck later terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance, when she, herself, was facing financial difficulties It was during the time of Madame von Meck’s patronage, however, that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for the ballets of “Swan Lake” and “The Sleeping Beauty” Tchaikovsky’s music, well-known for its rich melodic and sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the first that brought serious dramatic music to dance Before this, little attention had been given to the music behind the dance Tchaikovsky died ostensibly of cholera on November 6th 1893, though there are now some scholars who argue that he committed suicide.

Exercise 2 Choose from A, B, C, or D the one that best answers each of the questions in the following passage.

Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides No other force that affects the sea is so strong Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep

The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost

star of the universe In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by

the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the

Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and

Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month.

1 What is the main point of the first paragraph?

A The waves created by ocean currents are very large.

B Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water.

C Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water.

D The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water.

2 The words "In reality" in the passage is closest in meaning to _.

A surprisingly B actually C characteristically D similarly

3 It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much gravitational effect one object in space has on the tides is _.

4 The word "configuration" in the passage is closest in meaning to _.

5 Neap tides occur when _.

A the Sun counteracts the Moon's gravitational attraction

D waves created by the wind combine with the Moon's gravitational attraction
