48、le, a working-class flower seller from London, and the snobbish Professor Higgins, who teaches her “proper English”, has never showed any signs of dying out since it was introduced.But why do people still queue up around the block for tickets when a new production of the play is announced?The answer

49、 is simple: The musical has a wonderful story. Everyone can identify with Doolittles desire to live a more satisfying life; all she wants is to get rid of her accent so she can get a job in a store and not on the streets. However, it seems that people like Higgins are always looking down on Doolittl

50、e for not being from a fancy family, which is something that many of us can relate to.Besides Doolittles background, the story and the songs in the musical are also what make it so popular. Audience members are moved when Eliza and her fellow flower sellers imagine what itd be like to live as a rich

51、 person does. This is perfectly summed up in the lyric, “Wouldnt it be lovely?”The musical also makes people think. It doesnt make sense that one kind of accent can be considered good and another bad. Eliza and her father speak “badly” because they were born poor, while Higgins speaks “proper Englis

52、h” because he was born a “gentleman”. That reflects the unfairness of class divisions a kind of unfairness that still sadly exists today.12.

55、d Eliza get along well since they first meet.D. Eliza finally changes Higgins prejudice against the poor.【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。介绍了广受观众喜欢的音乐剧窈窕淑女，分析了人们喜爱它的原因。【12题详解】词句猜测题。根据上文“However, the musical version of My Fair Lady is even older, and has been entertaining audiences since 195

56、6.( 然而，窈窕淑女音乐版年龄更大，自1956年以来一直在娱乐观众)”，因此推断这部音乐剧很受观众欢迎，划线句句意“事实上，这部音乐剧的一个新百老汇版本获得了10项托尼奖的nominated。”说明这部音乐剧的成功，获得了许多奖项的提名，因此划线词词义与C项“推荐；提名”词义相近。故选C项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段的“The answer is simple: The musical has a wonderful story. Everyone can identify with Doolittles desire to live a more satisfying life

57、( 答案很简单：这部音乐剧有一个精彩的故事。每个人都能认同杜利特尔想要过上更令人满意的生活的愿望)”和“However, it seems that people like Higgins are always looking down on Doolittle for not being from a fancy family, which is something that many of us can relate to.( 然而，像希金斯这样的人似乎总是瞧不起不是来自高级家庭的杜利特尔，这是我们很多人都能理解的事情。)”可推断，人们喜欢百老汇音乐剧窈窕淑女主要因为他们可以理解这个故事。

58、故选D项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“That reflects the unfairness of class divisions a kind of unfairness that still sadly exists today.( 这反映了阶级划分的不公平一种至今仍然悲哀地存在的不公平。)”可知，窈窕淑女传递了一种信息: 社会阶级划分深植于英国社会。故选C项。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段的“Everyone can identify with Doolittles desire to live a more satisfying life(每个人都能认同杜利

59、特尔想要过上更令人满意的生活的愿望)”以及最后一段的“Eliza and her father speak “badly” because they were born poor(伊丽莎和她的父亲说得“不好”，因为他们生来就很穷)”可知，伊丽莎生来很穷，但却在为更好的生活而奋斗。故选B项。第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Your third year of high school is probably a tough and busy time. _16_ We all know that not g
