The Olympic Games李仕才*閱讀理解Enjoying 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 OHair 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 OHairs，are becoming more popular，musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere，”said Domenic Cicala，a musician who opened up his OHair 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.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文主要介紹了現(xiàn)代音樂會(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.B解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知，音樂家喜歡家庭音樂會(huì)是因?yàn)槁牨姇?huì)更專注于傾聽音樂。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.C解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句可知，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.BTwo.CThree.DFour.B解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通讀全文可知，本文提到了兩個(gè)樂隊(duì)，一個(gè)是the Bombadils，另一個(gè)是西雅圖的民謠搖滾樂隊(duì)the Local Strangers，故選B。4What may be the best title for the text?AMusicians Struggle to Make a LivingBPeople Really Get to Know the ArtistsCMusicians Find New Places to PerformDConcertgoers Wont Go to Music ClubsC解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)文章第一段，并結(jié)合對(duì)文章的整體理解可推知，本文主要講述了現(xiàn)代音樂會(huì)在舉辦場(chǎng)地的選擇上更加多樣化，音樂家發(fā)現(xiàn)了私人居所、發(fā)廊等新的場(chǎng)所來(lái)表演，故選C。*語(yǔ)法填空Do you make friends _1_(easy)?

friends，所以要用副詞，故填easily。2a考查冠詞。句意：牛津大學(xué)的研究者們做了一項(xiàng)調(diào)查，該調(diào)查由18歲到34歲之間的101個(gè)人參加。study “調(diào)查”，是可數(shù)名詞，此處泛指“一項(xiàng)調(diào)查”，所以用不定冠詞a。3filled考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。句意：參與者首先填寫了關(guān)于他們的社交生活的問卷，然后他們被要求盡可能長(zhǎng)時(shí)間地身體貼墻，膝蓋彎曲成直角，這可能很痛苦。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，該空應(yīng)填謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，而且是描述過(guò)去的事情，所以用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故填filled。4to press考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。ask sb. to do sth.為固定搭配，意為“要求某人做某事”，此處是其被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)形式be asked to do sth.。故填to press。5knees考查名詞的復(fù)數(shù)。knee “膝蓋”，是可數(shù)名詞，其前有their修飾，所以要用復(fù)數(shù)形式，故填knees。6which考查定語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞。設(shè)空處引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，引導(dǎo)詞指代整個(gè)主句的內(nèi)容，并且在從句中作主語(yǔ)，故填which。7their考查代詞。該空代替的是participants，而且后面有名詞network，所以要用復(fù)數(shù)形式的形容詞性物主代詞，故填their。8because考查表語(yǔ)從句的連接詞。句意：這是因?yàn)榇竽X的鎮(zhèn)痛系統(tǒng)與疼痛的耐受性和社會(huì)關(guān)系都有關(guān)，這意味著這個(gè)系統(tǒng)越活躍，你在這兩個(gè)方面表現(xiàn)得越好。此處表原因，故填because。9with考查介詞。be associated with為固定搭配，意為“與有聯(lián)系”，故填with。10better考查形容詞的比較級(jí)。“the比較級(jí)，the比較級(jí)”為常用句式，意為“越，越”，故填better。*完形填空。Im sitting at the airport watching people in the last minutes before their loved

moment”可知，空處應(yīng)該是一個(gè)告別(goodbye)的場(chǎng)景，故選B。2B根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處表示登機(jī)(boarding)前最后的時(shí)刻，故選B。3A結(jié)合下文中的“protect

Learning together with entertainment still take up most of our time. Besides, we often help our parents with the housework or farm work, that makes us realize how hard we work every day and develop a great love for work. Meanwhile, we take active part in social activities, such as voluntary work. We went out to the streets to collect rubbishes or to the hospitals to cheer up the sick children. We try our best to help those who are in need or make our hometown a lot of more beautiful. We find greatly pleasure in these activities.Yours，Li Ming答案：Dear Lisa，Im glad to receive your letter about the present holiday life of Chinese students. Learning together with entertainment still up most of our time. Besides, we often help our parents with the housework or farm work, makes us realize how hard work every day and develop a great love for work.

We try our best to help those who are in need make our hometown a lot more beautiful. We find pleasure in these activities.Yours，Li Ming難項(xiàng)分析：第二處：taketakes此處together with后的名詞不影響謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數(shù)，句子的主語(yǔ)是learning，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，故改為takes。第七處：rubbishesrubbishrubbish表示“垃圾”，是不可數(shù)名詞，沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式，故改為rubbish。第九處：去掉of此處指使我們的家鄉(xiāng)變得更加美麗。根據(jù)句中的“more”可知，此處修飾比較級(jí)，表示程度，故應(yīng)用a lot。a lot of表示“許多”，修飾名詞。 6EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F375
