Unit 2Cloning李仕才一、閱讀理解AEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater. These days, musicians are performing in private homes, at haircutting shops, at airports. even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts. At music clubs, they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol. People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O Hair Salon, Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials. Then, they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space. The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon, near the hairdryers and makeup tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon，” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last weeks performance. Frank said she and band members, Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience. Concerts in peoples homes, or small businesses such as O Hairs, are becoming more popular, musicians say. “There is a more relaxed atmosphere，” said Domenic Cicala, a musician who opened up his O Hair Salon to concerts. “People really get to know the artists.” At house concerts, people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers. Often, the hosts or guests will provide food and drink. “People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend，” said Matt Hart, with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers, a folkrock group based in Seattle. At many such concerts, the musicians do not need microphones. Yet, every word of their songs can be heard.【文章大意】本文主要介紹了現(xiàn)代音樂(lè)會(huì)在舉辦場(chǎng)地的選擇上更加多樣化。私人居所、理發(fā)店、機(jī)場(chǎng)等都成為音樂(lè)家表演的場(chǎng)所，并且備受青睞。1Why do musicians like house concerts?ABecause private homes are easier to get to.BBecause people pay more attention to their music.CBecause they can do other things while performing.DBecause they dont have to bring their microphones.答案與解析：B考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.”可知，音樂(lè)家喜歡家庭音樂(lè)會(huì)是因?yàn)槁牨姇?huì)更專注于傾聽音樂(lè)。故選B。2What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last weeks performance?AThe small performance space.BHer first show at a hair salon.CTheir interaction with the audience.DThe more relaxed atmosphere.答案與解析：C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段最后一句“Frank said she and band members, Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time interacting with the audience.”可知，上周的表演給Sarah Frank留下最深刻印象的是與聽眾的互動(dòng)，故選C。3How many music groups are mentioned in the text?AOne.
