Later, Brendan donated all the instruments to a group called Hungry for Music. It gives instruments to students in need around the world. “I’m proud of our work,” said Brendan. “We hope we can bring the love of music to more kids!”

Have you heard of Atlantis? Thousands of years ago, the Greek philosopher (哲学家) Plato wrote about a city, Atlantis. It was located (位于) somewhere near the Atlantic Ocean. The city he described was nearly perfect. The people were excellent in math, science and engineering. The buildings and gardens were beautiful. Fountains (喷泉) ran with hot and cold water, and stone walls were filled with gold and silver.
Plato told the end of Atlantis—how the city was destroyed (摧毁) by water because people did not properly honor the gods. Ever since, because the location of the city was never clear, people have wondered if Atlantis is real. Many have searched for facts, signs or objects around the world, and even under the sea.
Some people believe Atlantis was once located on Santorini, which was the name of a Greek island. It’s said that a society with perfect scientific knowledge was ever on the island. Santorini was destroyed by a volcanic eruption (火山爆发) around 1500 BC, which could explain why there were not any remains (遗迹) of the city. Others think Atlantis was on Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean because Plato described huge statues (雕像) like the ones that have been found there.
Still other people place the lost city in the mountains of Bolivia, in the China Sea or in Africa. The fact is that no remains from Atlantis have ever been found. This has led many experts to believe that Atlantis was made up, a perfect city that was only in Plato’s mind.

Have you heard of Atlantis? Thousands of years ago, the Greek philosopher (哲学家) Plato wrote about a city, Atlantis. It was located (位于) somewhere near the Atlantic Ocean. The city he described was nearly perfect. The people were excellent in math, science and engineering. The buildings and gardens were beautiful. Fountains (喷泉) ran with hot and cold water, and stone walls were filled with gold and silver.
Plato told the end of Atlantis—how the city was destroyed (摧毁) by water because people did not properly honor the gods. Ever since, because the location of the city was never clear, people have wondered if Atlantis is real. Many have searched for facts, signs or objects around the world, and even under the sea.
Some people believe Atlantis was once located on Santorini, which was the name of a Greek island. It’s said that a society with perfect scientific knowledge was ever on the island. Santorini was destroyed by a volcanic eruption (火山爆发) around 1500 BC, which could explain why there were not any remains (遗迹) of the city. Others think Atlantis was on Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean because Plato described huge statues (雕像) like the ones that have been found there.
Still other people place the lost city in the mountains of Bolivia, in the China Sea or in Africa. The fact is that no remains from Atlantis have ever been found. This has led many experts to believe that Atlantis was made up, a perfect city that was only in Plato’s mind.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了柏拉图笔下的亚特兰蒂斯这座近乎完美的城市,讲述它毁灭的传说,列举人们对它真实位置的多种猜测,最后点明至今没有找到遗迹,许多专家认为它只是柏拉图虚构出来的城市。
【11题详解】
根据文章开头第一段第一句“Have you heard of Atlantis?”是问句,作者以提出问题的方式开启整篇文章。
【12题详解】
通读第一段可知,第一段主要引用柏拉图的文字,描写亚特兰蒂斯的地理位置、居民才能、建筑园林等,也就是柏拉图对于亚特兰蒂斯的描述。
【13题详解】
根据文章第二段中“Plato told the end of Atlantis—how the city was destroyed by water”,直接给出柏拉图笔下亚特兰蒂斯被大水摧毁的结局。
【14题详解】
根据文章第三段中“Some people believe Atlantis was once located on Santorini, which was the name of a Greek island.”,定语从句说明Santorini是一座希腊岛屿的名字。
【15题详解】
根据文章第二段中“Ever since, because the location of the city was never clear, people have wondered if Atlantis is real.”,亚特兰蒂斯的位置始终没有确定,这依旧是一个谜团。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述性格安静的Amy在学校表演日,不靠歌舞乐器,用独白的方式做表演,告诉大家要做真实的自己的故事。
【21题详解】
句意:在这一天,学生们唱歌、跳舞、演奏乐器或者表演短剧。
固定搭配play musical instruments“演奏乐器”。tricks“诡计”,chess“国际象棋”,cards“卡片”,均不符合语境。
【22题详解】
句意:Amy是我们班最安静的女孩。
后文写到她不喜欢别人关注,待在图书馆看书画画,quietest“最安静的”符合语境。proudest“最骄傲的”,cutest“最可爱的”,bravest“最勇敢的”,语义不符。
【23题详解】
句意:当其他人练习的时候,她待在图书馆看书或者在笔记本上画画。
while引导时间状语从句,表示“当……的时候”,强调两件事同时发生。unless“除非”,although“虽然”,because“因为”,逻辑不通。
【24题详解】
句意:没有人预料到她会参加这场演出。
根据“She was kind and smart, but she didn’t like attention from others.”可推断,大家没有“预料到”Amy会参加演出。expect sb. to do sth.“预料某人做某事”,动词短语。advise“建议”,allow“允许”,teach“教”,不符合上下文语境。
【25题详解】
句意:所以当她的名字出现在名单上时,我们所有人都很惊讶。
前文大家都没料到她会参加,所以她的参演让大家“很惊讶”,surprised“感到惊讶的”符合语境。excited“兴奋的”,relaxed“放松的”,worried“担心的”,语义不符。
【26题详解】
句意:家长、老师和学生坐着等待表演开始。
根据“When the day came, the hall was full of people.”可知,大家应该是“等待”演出的开始,固定搭配wait for“等待”。appear“出现”,imagine“想象”,train“训练”,搭配语义不通。
【27题详解】
句意:接下来轮到Amy上场了。
固定句式it is one’s turn“轮到某人”。choice“选择”,suggestion“建议”,decision“决定”,不符合短语。
【28题详解】
句意:她手上什么都没有就走上舞台。
后文说明没有乐器、没有音乐、没有特殊服装,nothing“什么都没有”符合语境。something“某物”,everything“一切”,anything“任何东西”,和后文矛盾。
【29题详解】
句意:她也谈到人们常常认为安静就代表软弱、害羞或者胆怯。
根据“how people often thought being quiet meant being weak, shy or scared”可知,空格后面是谈论的内容,talked about“谈论,谈及”符合语境。run after“追逐”,look for“寻找”,deal with“处理”,语义不匹配。
【30题详解】
句意:沉默是用来思考、感受和成长的空间。
grow“成长”,符合全文安静中沉淀自我的主题。go“去”,laugh“笑”,produce“生产”,不符合语境。
【31题详解】
句意:她继续讲述绘画如何帮她理解世界,倾听带给她的收获远多于说话。
上文讲述了她谈论的内容,根据“explaining how drawing helped her understand the world”可知,此处应该是“继续”讲述她的见解,continue doing sth.“继续做某事”。suggest“建议”,consider“考虑”,practise“练习”,搭配语义不符。
【32题详解】
句意:大厅一片寂静,慢慢地,掌声响了起来。
slowly“慢慢地”,描写掌声缓缓响起的氛围。hardly“几乎不”,clearly“清楚地”,simply“简单地”,语境不匹配。
【33题详解】
句意:掌声并不响亮,但充满敬意。
根据“After the show, many students went to talk to Amy.”可推断,大家对Amy应该是充满“敬意”的。respect“敬意”符合语境。hate“憎恨”,sadness“悲伤”,difference“区别”,语义不通。
【34题详解】
句意:一些同学说他们以前从没有把安静看作一种力量。
前文Amy展示了沉默安静的“力量”,power“力量”符合语境。discussion“讨论”,attraction“吸引力”,hope“希望”,不符合文章主旨。
【35题详解】
句意:Amy成为了大家愿意倾听的人,不是因为她改变了自我,而是因为她展示了做真实自我的力量。
根据“staying true to herself”可推断,她没有改变自己。not...but... 结构表示对比,changed“改变”符合语境;forgot“忘记”;hid“隐藏”;remained“保持”。forget、hide、remain均与主旨相反。
