I.阅读理解
Carol:I started playing the cello(大提琴)
when I was about eight or nine.It was great
playing the cello because I was in youth
orchestras and we went abroad to do tours.
But anyway,when I got to university,I
stopped playing.Well,there just wasn't time
and there were so many other things to do.
Luckily,I took it up after my 25th birthday
and joined a band.
Daniel:When I was little,I thought I'd
end up learning the guitar like my father,but
then I decided that I wanted to have my own
instrument,so】chose the trumpet(小号).
I'm in the school jazz band and I'd like to be a
musician when I grow up,but my dad says it's
difficult to make a living from music.But I
don't want to be a lawyer like him.It's so
boring.
Carmen:Nobody likes living near someone
like me because when I practise,I make a lot
of noise!But you have to keep practising,
don't you?Otherwise it gets more and more
difficult.The trouble is,in the summer,when
it's hot,I have to open the windows,so the
whole street gets to hear it if I'm not careful.I
love playing the drums and I play in a fantastic
band.
Vince:I've played the guitar for as long as
I can remember,but when I was trying to
make it as a musician after school,I used to
play in the Underground in London to make a
bit of extra money.I kept on playing,but I
ran a restaurant to make a living.When I get
any spare time,I still play.I've got a few
friends who like music too and we formed a
band.

I,语篇解读本文介绍了四个喜欢音乐的人。在文中四个人分别
谈论了自己喜爱的乐器和演奏经历。
l.D[细节理解题。由Carol部分中的“But anyway,when I got to
university,I stopped playing.Well,there just wasn't time and
there were so many other things to do.”可知,上大学后,卡罗尔没
有时间继续演奏大提琴。门
2.A[推理判断题。由Daniel部分中的“I'd like to be a musician
when I grow up,but my dad says it's difficult to make a living
from music.But I don't want to be a lawyer like him.It's so
boring.”可知,丹尼尔认为他父亲的职业(律师)很无趣,由此推
断,他认为做一名音乐家是有趣的。]
3.D[细节理解题。由Carmen部分中的“when I practise,I make
a lot of noise”和“The trouble is,in the summer,when it'shot,I
have to open the windows,so the whole street gets to hear it if
I'm not careful,.”可知,卡门担心敲鼓的时候打扰别人。]
4.B[推理判断题。由Vince部分中的“I used to play in the
Underground in London to make a bit of extra money.I kept on
playing,but I ran a restaurant to make a living,”可知,文斯通过
开饭店挣钱,由此可推断他无法依靠音乐雏持生计。]
Ⅱ,语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在朋友的请求下跳
舞救场的故事。
l,B[由前文的“looked around”可知,作者在跟父亲找座位的时候
发现(spotted)了他最好的朋友马可。]
2.D[由空格前的“Hi,Mr()'kane”可知,马可是在跟作者的父亲
打招呼(greeted)。]
3.D[由空格后提到的马可扔给作者的东西及后文提到去跳舞来
看,这些物品应该是演出的戏装(costume)。]
4,A[由后文马可邀请作者参加演出可知,马可的表兄弟无法赶到
(make it)进行演出。]
5.B[由空格后的“Idon't dance!”可以看出,作者不会跳舞,所以
面对朋友的请求感到绝望(despaired)。]
6.B[马可告诉作者,他们要迟到(running late)了。]
7.C[由倒数第三段中的“kept a hand low on my back”可知,马可
告诉作者要一只手低(10w)放在背后。]
8.B[由空格后的内容可知,此处指宣布(announced)表演开始。]
9.A[马可示意(signalled)作者跟随他的引导。]
l0.A[由空格后的“the small holes”可知,作者通过(through)面具
上的小孔看。]
11.C[作者从面具的小扎往外看,目的是弄清楚(figure out)自己
应该怎么做。门
l2.C[结合前文的“like an old man with an ache”可知,作者按照
马可的指导跳了一会儿舞后,后背真的(ruy)开始疼了。]
I3.B[由空格后的“stomped quickly”可知,这时音乐开始加速
(sped up)。]
l4.C[由后文的“hopped and kicked'”可以看出,穿着墨西哥凉鞋跳
舞很难(tough)。]
15.D[由前文的“It'll be fun,”可知,马可请求作者参加演出时,告
诉作者表演很有趣。现在作者肯定马可的话,表示这个表演的
确有趣(fun)。]
Ⅲ.语篇解读本文简要介绍了美国著名作曲家George Gershwin
的生平及其作品。
l,wrote[考查动词的时态。介绍George Gershwin的经历应用一
般过去时,故此处用write的过去式wrote。]
2,performed[考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,musical plays
与perform之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作定语。]
3.which[考查定语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,空处引
导非限制性定语从句且空处指代“Many of his songs'”且在从句中
作主语,故用which。]
4.leader[考查名词。根据上文中的“musician”可知,此处应用名
词和前面的内容并列,故填leader。]
5,to support[考查非谓语动词。want to do sth是固定用法,意为
“想要做某事”。]
6,a[考查冠词。此处表示泛指,且piece的发音以辅音音素开头,
故用a。]
7,excited[考查形容词。主语为The audience,故应用形容词
excited作表语。]
2
8,remains[考查时态和主谓一致。which引导的定语从句描述客
观事实,应用一般现在时;which指代上文中的“An American in
Paris”,且在从句中作主语,空处为定语从句的谓语,故用第三人
称单数。故填remains。]
9.at[考查介词。ata(n)·ge意为“在…的年纪”,是固定
用法。]
l0.reporting[考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处是with
复合结构,newspapers和report为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用动词
ing形式。]

因,以及音乐在许多方面影响着我们的生活。文章主要说明了音乐
给人们产生的三个影响,作者认为音乐不仅仅是娱乐:它是一种强
大的力量,在许多方面影响着我们。
l,C[细节理解题。根据Music changes our mood部分中的“It can
be like talking with a friend who understands your suffering.
知,这就僚和一个理解你痛苦的朋友聊天一样。由此可知,有些
人喜欢悲伤的音乐,是因为这就像和朋友聊天一样。故选C。]
2.D[细节理解题。根据Music helps us get things done部分中的
"But when you are doing tasks that require more thought,music
can disturb you,making them harder,”可知,但当你在做需要更
多思考的任务时,音乐会打扰你,使任务更难做。由此可知,当工
作需要更多的思考时,听音乐会打扰你。故选D。]
3,A[观点态度题。根据最后一段“Music is far more than just
entertainment;it is a powerful force that affects us in many
wys.”可知,音乐不仅仅是娱乐:它是一种强大的力量,在许多方
面影响着我们。由此可推知,作者对音乐的态度是积极的。故
选A。]
参考范文:
Hello!My name is Li Hua.I am pleased to share some
information about my music club with you.My club,Dream Music
Club,whose motto is "To sing for dreams",was formed one year
ago.To realize the goal,we've been practicing every Friday night
ever since and we stick to the plan.Also,every four weeks we hold
singing competitions,and we do have fun
Actually,as a music lover,I get a lot from running the club,
which not only helps me make friends but get relaxed and hold a
positive attitude towards life as well,
Ⅲ,
参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
The story turned out to be this:George Sang is an ordinary
office clerk.He bought a lottery ticket the other day.To his
surprise,he was exactly the lucky dog.Overjoyed,George took out
50 dollars when hearing wonderful music on his way home.
However,the lottery ticket was also thrown in.When Joseph was
cleaning up his hat after ending a day's work,he found the
unexpected thing.Thinking the owner must be anxious,he
cancelled the flight and returned to where he was given the lottery
ticket.
Paragraph 2:
This was the scene just now.Out of curiosity,some passers-by
asked Joseph why he didn't take it for himself since he was badly in
need of money.Joseph answered,"It goes without saying that if I
took it in a dishonest way,I would succeed temporarily.But in the
long run,I am bound to be a loser.Just as the saying goes,
honesty is the best policy.Therefore we should bear in mind that
being honest is what makes us a good man.
