29、).阅读理解A体裁：记叙文题材：人物故事主题：杰米特纳和他的玻璃竖琴【语篇解读】杰米特纳经常在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大人群密集的地方演奏玻璃竖琴：敲击大小不同的盛水的玻璃杯，发出动听的乐声。他不仅能演奏玻璃竖琴专门乐曲，还能用它演奏中国流行音乐。1D考查细节理解。根据第三段第二句“He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table”可知，在六岁时，杰米特纳听到父亲在餐桌上用

30、一玻璃杯水演奏音乐，开始对玻璃竖琴产生兴趣。据此可知，D项正确。2D考查细节理解。根据第四段第三、四句“He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound”可知，杯子中的水量不同，产生的音调也不同；添加或去掉少量水就会改变声音。据此可知，玻璃竖琴的声音受杯子中水量的影响，故D项正确。3B考查细节理解。根据第五段第一句“Turner always u

31、ses lowpriced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound”可知，特纳总是使用低价玻璃杯是因为其声音听起来比昂贵的水晶杯好听，故B项正确。4A考查主旨大意。根据第一段“Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical instrument, the

32、glass harp(竖琴)，near Alexandrias historic waterfront”并结合全文其他内容可知，本文主要讲述了一位音乐家为人群演奏玻璃竖琴的故事。故A项最适合作本文标题。B体裁：说明文题材：健康主题：保护听力【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了听力受损的原因以及如何预防听力受损。【难句分析】Often, headphone users fail to realize theyre listening to audio at unsafe levels until serious hearing problems suddenly occur.分析：句中“th

33、eyre listening to audio at unsafe levels”为省略了that的宾语从句；until引导时间状语从句。译文：通常，耳机使用者直到严重的听力问题突然出现，才会意识到他们在不安全的(音量)等级听音频。5C考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“The same thing not only occurs to musicians. at risk of losing their hearing”可知，不仅是音乐家，普通的听音乐者也会长期暴露于嘈杂的声音中，由此而导致全球10亿多年龄在12至35岁的人有丧失听力的风险。由此可推知，忽视声音污染可能导致听力丧失。6B考查细节理

34、解。根据最后一段中的“Early prevention, early identification and early treatment”可知，Yang Shiming建议人们提前预防来应对听力丧失。7A考查词义猜测。根据画线词后一句中的“Once the hearing loss occurs. what it was before”可知，一旦听力受损，回到以前的状态已为时太晚，画线词所在句表示不论是先天的还是后天的，听力丧失通常是不可挽回的，由此可推知，画线词与A项含义相近。8D考查主旨大意。根据文章第一段第二句，并结合文章其他内容可知，文章围绕听力受损这一主题展开，分析了听力受损的原因

35、，并给出了建议，以提高人们保护听力的意识。故D项适合作本文标题。.七选五体裁：说明文题材：环境保护主题：更节能的听音乐方式【语篇解读】当今的数字技术给我们带来了完美无瑕的音乐品质。它还使复制、上传和用串流收听音乐变得更容易，而且不需要下载。但这种音乐的消费方式耗能更多。因此，研究人员希望能找到更加可持续的方式来节约能源。1D根据空前的“It also makes it easier to copy, upload and stream music without having to download it”可知，它还使复制、上传和用串流收听音乐变得更容易，且不需要下载。故D项“因此，流媒体音乐

36、变得流行起来”符合语境。2A根据空后的“logic would suggest that music downloads and online streaming are good for the environment”可知，从逻辑上讲，音乐下载和在线流媒体对环境是有好处的。由此可推知空处应是说明数字音乐在环境方面的优点，所以选A项。3C由前一句“In fact, the information is searched and sent to our electronic devices across the network，which costs energy”可知，实际上，信息是通过网络

37、搜索并发送到我们的电子设备上的，这需要消耗能源，故C项符合语境，衔接上文。4B根据空处前后的“2.5 million streams”“210,000 albums worth of music”可知，如果一般的专辑包含12首歌曲，那就意味着差不多210 000张专辑对应平台上的250万首乐曲流量，故选B项。5G根据下文可知，他们是想让你思考你的能量使用，并选择对地球最小影响的服务。且他们想发展不失去所期望的便利的更加可持续的方式，故G项符合语境。.语法填空体裁：说明文题材：社会文化主题：中国发生的巨大变化【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，苏格兰摄影师布鲁斯康诺利自1987年以来，游遍了中国的大部

38、分地区，见证了中国翻天覆地的变化。1答案与解析：which考查定语从句。句意：在1987年，中国仍旧在使用蒸汽式火车，这令来自很多国家的人们惊讶不已。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代主句内容，在从句中作主语，故填which。2答案与解析：was考查时态和主谓一致。句意：布鲁斯康诺利是一名苏格兰摄影师，他就是这些人当中的一个。分析句子结构可知，设空处在句中作谓语，Bruce Connolly为主语，再根据上文中的时间状语可知，本段讲述过去发生的事情，故填was。3答案与解析：starting考查非谓语动词。句意：1987年，康诺利首次来到中国，开始不断在中国各地旅行。该空在句中

39、作伴随状语，且和其逻辑主语Connolly之间为主动关系，故填starting。4答案与解析：has traveled考查时态和主谓一致。句意：自从那时候，他游遍了除福建、浙江和江西以外的中国大部分地区。时间状语为Since then，这是现在完成时的标志，主语he与travel是主动关系，故填has traveled。5答案与解析：what考查宾语从句。句意：康诺利在中国旅行期间，发现了中国并不是他在照片中看到的样子，照片中显示的中国人在穿着和行事上都非常谨慎。该空引导宾语从句，且从句中缺少saw的宾语，指代事物，故填what。6答案与解析：Instead考查副词。句意：他看到的反而是人们很

40、友好、热情，而且穿着颜色鲜亮的衣服。根据语境可知，空后的表述与上文内容形成对比，表示“反而，取而代之的是”，故填Instead。注意首字母大写。7答案与解析：friendly考查形容词。句意见上一题解析。该空作were的表语，修饰people，应用形容词，故填friendly。8答案与解析：curiosities考查名词。句意：在他早年的旅行中，大多数中国人看到外国人都觉得很新鲜，但是现在这种情况在北京和上海等城市中已经改变了，外国人已不再是令人好奇的人物了。该空表示“令人好奇的人或物”，应填名词，curiosity是可数名词，主语为foreigners，是复数概念，故填curiosities。9答案与解析：the考查冠词。句意：康诺利在中国所感受到的另外一个巨大变化是新技术的广泛使用。此处特指新技术的广泛使用，故填the。10答案与解析：their考查代词。句意：人们现在用智能手机就能做一切事情，几乎已经不使用现金了。该空后有名词，应用形容词性物主代词，表示“他们的”，故填their。
