3.根據(jù)第二段的倒數(shù)二三句“However,inthecaseofmusic...thewhistlingofthewind.”我們無法想象一個沒有音樂的世界,因為我們無時無刻不被像鳥兒的歌唱和風(fēng)的呼嘯這樣悅耳的聲音環(huán)繞著。也就是說我們的環(huán)境中存在著令人愉快的聲音。選項C符合原文。

4.根據(jù)第三段的最后一句“Itwouldbeadarkandunsatisfyingworld...derivepleasurefrom.”沒有知識的傳播，沒有讀書帶來的樂趣，這將是一個黑暗并且不令人滿意的世界。bleakandcold陰暗寒冷；averysorryworld悲慘的世界；dreadfullyunsatisfying令人極度不滿意的；darkanddull黑暗沉悶的。選項C更接近原文。

5.根據(jù)第四段的倒數(shù)第三句“Whenwelosemusic,anexpressionofadeeppartofourselves-fromthesoul-islost.”當(dāng)我們失去了音樂，我們也失去了內(nèi)心深處的一種表達——來自靈魂的表達。選項B符合原文。
