文章大意：本文是一篇說明文。介紹了甲殼蟲樂隊的發(fā)展與興盛以及他們對

英美搖滾樂的影響。

解析：

1.空格后面的“Atthattime”決定了該空一定要出現(xiàn)具體的時間，F(xiàn)項雖然有

時間，但是是電影的時間，文章沒有提及電影，故排除。答案從A項與C項中

選擇。再根據(jù)文章一開始出現(xiàn)的“Rockmusic”可知C項為正確答案。故選C。

2.由空格前一句"Bymid-1963,theBeatleshadbeenextremelypopularin

England."可知，甲殼蟲樂隊在當(dāng)時的英國相當(dāng)受歡迎。接下來具體介紹：就連

他們的發(fā)型都成了當(dāng)時的流行趨勢。故選B。

3.前面提到甲殼蟲樂隊在英國特別受歡迎。空后“Theywerenotsurehowthe

Americanswouldreacttothenewtypeofmusic.”意思是“他們不確定美國人對這

種新型的音樂會有什么反應(yīng)。"。因此，A項“他們決定在1964年開始他們的

美國之旅?！狈险Z境。G項是發(fā)生了的事情，用在此處在時間上不合適。故選

Ao

4.空后的“Theconcertwasbroadcastliveandattractedthelargestonenight

audienceinthehistoryoftelevisionuptothattime.”與G項中的concert相呼應(yīng)。故

選G。

5.空前uThankstotheBeatles,alotofopportunitieswereopeneduptonew

facesonthemarket.”中的newfaces與E項中的follow相呼應(yīng)。故選E。

文章大意：本文是一篇記敘文。講述了Robby為了母親,克服困難努力學(xué)

習(xí)彈奏鋼琴并成功演奏樂曲的故事。

1.A.strangeB.low

C.localD.different

解析：由后文可知，作者教過的學(xué)生有在音樂方面有天賦的，也有在這一

方面有困難的。由此可知，作者發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)生的音樂能力各不相同(different)。故選D。

2.A.challengedB.breathed

C.encouragedD.inspired

解析：結(jié)合第三段的“hedidnthavethebasicsenseofmusic”可知，作者的學(xué)

生中有的在音樂學(xué)習(xí)方面有困難，即此處描寫的musicallychallenged。故選A。

3.A.drawingB.dance

C.pianoD.handwriting

解析：由本段的“hearhimplaythepiano”可知,Robby去上的是鋼琴(piano)

課。故選C。

4.A.examinedB.promised

C.explainedD.answered

解析：explainsth.tosb.向某人解釋某事。此處指作者試圖向Robby解釋學(xué)

鋼琴要在早一點的年紀開始。故選C。

5.A.commentB.dream

C.hobbyD.personality

解析：由下一段的“MymonTsgoingtohearmeplaysomeday.“可知，聽

Robby彈鋼琴是Robby的媽媽一直以來的夢想(dream)。故選B。

6.A.continuedB.created

C?contactedD-caught

解析：雖然Robby沒有基本的樂感，但他還是繼續(xù)(continue)學(xué)習(xí)。故選A。

7.A.carelessB.hopeless

C.homelessD.selfless

解析：由空格后的“Iwasdisappointedbyhisslowprogress”可知，作者認為

Robby在彈琴方面沒有希望(hopeless)。故選B。

8.A.positionB.example

C.distanceD.schedule

解析：作者很高興Robby不再來了，因為作者認為他是作者教學(xué)的不好的

例子(example)。故選B。

9.A.preparingB.renting

C.protectingD.regretting

解析：preparesb.forsth.讓某人為某事做好準備。作者當(dāng)時正在讓學(xué)生們

為音樂演出做準備。故選A。

10.A.strikeB.select

C.allowD.force

解析：在作者看來，Robby在音樂方面沒有能力，但當(dāng)Robby提出要參加

演出時，作者居然允許(allow)他這么做了。作者認為可能是Robby的決心打動了

自己。allowsb.todosth.允許某人做某事。故選C。

11.A.functionB.section

C.determinationD.memory

解析：解析見上題。故選C。

12.A.limitedB.satisfied

C.calmedD.surprised

解析：在作者看來,Robby并無彈鋼琴的天賦和能力，所以當(dāng)作者得知Robby

選了莫扎特最難的曲子之一時，作者感到很吃驚(surprised)。故選D。

13.A.sittingB.cheering

C.walkingD.eating

解析：由語境可知，Robby演奏的非常精彩，所以觀眾興奮地歡呼喝彩

(cheer)o故選B。

14.A.shyB.weak

C.blindD.deaf

解析：由后文Robby所說的“她從未能聽到我彈鋼琴，今晚是她第一次聽

到我的演奏”可知，Robby的媽媽失聰(deaf)。故選D。

15.A.specialB.humorous

C.similarD.famous

解析：Robby認為，這是第一次媽媽能聽到他，所以他想讓這一切變得特

別(special)一些。故選A。

文章大意：本文是一篇議論文。介紹了人們對“人類寫的詩歌與電腦寫的詩

歌是否具有相同的意義”這個問題的不同看法。

解析：

1.考查動詞的時態(tài)。分析句子可知，本句為what引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，主語

為thepoets,謂語動詞為think。根據(jù)下文中whattheyweredoing可知本句為過

去進行時。故填werethinking。

2.考查代詞。分析句子可知，從句中主語為we,根據(jù)句意“就好像我們自

己創(chuàng)作了這首詩一樣“可知用相應(yīng)的反身代詞ourselves。故填ourselves。

3.考查非謂語動詞。bydoingsth.“通過做某事”，為固定用法。故填using。

4.考查連詞。句意：電腦生成的詩歌可能在語法和風(fēng)格上都是正確的，但

有些人說它們?nèi)匀蝗狈?chuàng)造性和真正的意義。分析句子可知，空格處缺少連詞，

而前后語意表示轉(zhuǎn)折。故填連詞but/yet。

5.考查名詞。lack為及物動詞，后可直接接名詞creativity/creativeness作

賓語。也可將空處看作形容詞，與true并列修飾meaning,故填其形容詞形式。

故填creativity/creativeness/creative。

6.考查非謂語動詞。句意：澳大利亞研究員OscarSchwartz創(chuàng)建了一個名

為“botornot”的網(wǎng)站。分析句子可知，awebsite與call是被動關(guān)系。所以用過去

分詞called構(gòu)成的短語作定語修飾website。故填called。

7.考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。分析句子可知，本句為whether引導(dǎo)的賓語從

句，主語they和謂語動詞write之間為被動關(guān)系，時態(tài)為一般過去時或一般現(xiàn)在

時，故用一般過去時或一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)。故填werewritten/arewritten。

8.考查定語從句。分析句子可知，speech為先行詞，在非限制性定語從句

中介詞in后要用關(guān)系代詞作其賓語，所以定語從句
