答案
Passage 1
本文介绍的是摇滚乐的起源、组成、发展。人们为了解除紧张感,在不同的场合、从不同的角度去欣赏摇滚乐。
1. companies videos。由最后一自然段倒数第四句话可知答案。
2. fans, boring。 由第二自然段的第一句话可知此空的答案。
3. classical, music。从第二自然段中可知此空的答案。
4. rock, roll。 由第一自然段的最后两句可知此空的答案。
5. one, of。 从第一自然段的前两行,可判断此空的答案。
Passage 2
本文描述了影城好莱坞的历史变化,说明了好莱坞是电影的发祥地和电影明星的摇篮。好莱坞是人们向往的不寻常的地方。
1. A. 文章总体介绍了好莱坞的情况,而不是局部。故可以排除B,C,D。
2. D. 可从“You can easily see where Hollywood is in Los Angeles.” 或 “The Hollywood sign is a famous landmark in Los Angeles.” 等句子看出选项A 因为有 “just”,故不符题意。
3. D. 按照上文及词意可得出答案。
4. C. 由句子“You can listen to all kinds of music at the Hollywood Bowl.” 可得出答案。
5. A. 由句子“Not all famous film stars live in Hollywood.” 可得出答案。此句为部分否定,意为“并非所有的著名电影明星都居住在好莱坞。
Passage 3
本文通过母女的对话形式,描写了一个善于思考、爱提问题、勤奋好学的天真烂漫的小女孩的形象,表现了儿童幼稚的天性。
1. C. 阅读全文可知,文中的主人公是母女关系;C项可放在名词前作定语,其他选项无此用法。
2. D. “数字+years old ” 表示“……岁的”,属固定搭配。
3. A. 本句是表达时间的状语从句,所以要用when 来引导。
4. B. 由上句可知,“她笑个不停”,说明她看动画片时的高兴心情,其他选项均不能表达当时女孩的心理感觉。
5. A. 由空后的understand可知,本空不能填be的形式;本句是引用女孩当时说的话,应用一般现在时。
6. C. be over表示“结束;完了”,其他选项用在此处不符合上下文的语意要求。
7. B. go on doing sth.表示“继续接着做原来在做的事情”,本句的意思是“我们继续看电视” 。
8. D. 由when 引导的从句前后两个动作是同时发生的,时态要一致。因为空前的close是行为动词,变否定时须用助动词来帮助。所以本题选D。
9. A. 回答以 why 引导的特殊疑问句时,必须用because来引导。
10. C. all of sb.意思是“……都……”,其他三个选项填上后句意不符。
备注
1. Some fans who like rock music think classical music is boring.
一些摇滚乐迷觉得认为古典音乐枯燥无趣。(见Passage 1)
在本句中,“who like rock music” 作“some fans” 的定语,而且要后置。
2. The design of the stage was by the great American architect Frank Lioyd Wright.
这个舞台是由美国的建筑师Frank Lioyd Wright设计的。(见Passage 2)
本句是含有一般过去时的被动语态,表示主语是动作的承受者。其结构是:was/were +done(动词的过去分词)。如: The bridge was built last year.这座桥是去年建的。
英文歌曲
Theres a Kind of Hush
Theres a kind of hush all over the world tonight.
All over the world you can hear the sounds
Of lovers in love.
You know what I mean
Just two of us.
And nobody else in sight.
Theres nobody else
And Im feeling good just holding you tight.
So listen very carefully.
Come close now and you will see what I mean.
It isnt a dream.
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear,
I love you forever and ever.
Theres a kind of hush all over the world tonight.

Is when I whisper in your ear.
“I love you forever and ever.”
Theres a kind of hush all over the would tonight.
All over the world you can hear the sound
Of lovers in love, of lovers in love.
