I first went to hear a live rock concert when I was eight years old. My brother

and his friends were all 36  of a heavy metal group called Black Wednesday. When they 37  that Black Wednesday were going to perform at our local theatre, they all bought 38  for performance. However, at the last minute, one of the friends couldn’t go, so my brother  39  me the ticket. I was really 40 !

I remember the buzz (嘈杂声) of excitement inside the theatre as we all found our 41 . After a few minutes, the lights went down and everybody became 42 . I could barely make out the stage in the 43 . We waited. Then there was a roar from the crowd, like an explosion, as the first members of the band 44  the stage. My brother leaned over and shouted something in my ear, but I couldn’t 45  what he was saying. The first song was already starting and the music was as 46  as a jet engine. I could 47  the drum beats and bass notes in my stomach.

I can’t recall any of the songs that the band played. I just 48  that I really enjoyed the show and didn’t want it to 49 . But in the end, after three encores (加演), the show finished. We left the 50  and walked unsteadily out onto the pavement. I felt a little dizzy, as if I had just 51  from a long sleep. My ears were still 52  with the beat of the last song.

After the 53  , I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds of music. Once in a while, 54 , I listen to one of their songs and 55  I’m back at that first show.

【解析】

试题分析:本文是记叙文,讲述了作者在八岁时第一次听现场摇滚音乐会的经历和感受,以及后来也成为那个Black Wednesday乐队的粉丝,也因此喜欢和走入其他的音乐,但是再听这个乐队的乐曲时又会回忆起那个演唱会的情境。

1. B 根据意思:“我的哥哥和他的朋友们都是这个乐队的______”。根据下文53空格后面的内容说:“我也成为了BW乐队的粉丝”所以这个空格选择B“粉丝”。

2. C 空格后的that 从句指代“BW乐队将要在当地剧院演出”这件事。所以排除A“猜”D“预测”,而乐队要来演奏是一件客观发生的事情,所以排除“想”因为“想”的宾语一般都是主观的想法,所以答案是C。

3.D 根据他们得知BW要来开演唱会,,与之相关的动词是bought,去“买”的一定是“票”,所以答案是D。

4.A 本句意思为:“他的一个朋友无法前往,所以我的哥哥把票______我”。可以排除A“预订”D“找到”。比较容易误选C“返回”注意return这个词指的是“去-回”这个过程,return me the ticket的含义是:原先这张票就是我的,哥哥拿走给朋友了,然后又还给我。这显然是不对的,所以答案是B“主动给予”。

5. B 我要去看演唱会的我很“兴奋”,所以答案是B。

6.A 句中动词是found和形容词是our很重要,该句意思应为:“我还记得我们找到我们的______的时候,剧场里全是兴奋的嘈杂的声音”。要注意形容词“我们的”,排除“入口”“地点”“空间”,这些都是大家的,所以答案是A“座位”。我们买了票,当然要找到我们的座位。

7.D 语境是:“灯熄灭了,大家都变得______”所以排除“舒服”,“严肃”“紧张”,所以答案是D“安静”。

8.B关键在于make out 的理解,这个动作的宾语是stage,舞台,灯全黑了,作者应该是“分辨不出”舞台是什么样子的,所以make out 可以理解为分辨出。所以,作者应该处于“黑暗中”,答案是B

9. C 句子的主语是member band stage,所以这里的结构应为:“乐队成员_____舞台”,所以答案是C“走上”。

10. D 哥哥在我耳边喊了一些什么,但是我不能“听见”应该是最合理的,所以答案是D。

11. A 在as……as的结构中,表示和……一样,所以与之相关的名词是music 和jet engine,表示音乐和喷气式飞机的引擎之间的共同点,这种共同点点一定是“响”,所以答案是A。注意引擎是不会具备“快”特点的。用“快”来形容的应该是喷气式飞机。

12.C 该句意思应为:“我客观上有能力______鼓声和贝斯音符在我的肚子里”。所以排除B“触摸”D“消化”。比价容易误选C“享受”,这个词的排除比价有难度。首先,享受这个动作是主观上的,而句子末尾的in my stomach显然是一个客观上的部位,我们的肚子是没有办法享受音乐的。其次,这一句话紧接在上一句话后面,上一句话的内容强调的是音乐很响,这一句话应该还是在进一步解释音乐响到什么样的程度才比较合理,而“享受”这个动词强调的是音乐很美,没有在强调很响。

13.D 该句应为:“我想不起他们演奏过的歌曲,我只______我很享受他们的演出”。所以答案是D“记得”。

14. B didn’t want与之相关的名词是it,所以这里的结构应为:“我很享受他们的演出,不想让演出______”。所以答案是B“结束”。

15. A演出结束,我们离开的地方一定是“剧院”,所以选择A

16. C 句意应为:“我们好像从睡梦中______”所以答案是C“醒来”。“逃脱”“旅行”“获益”都和sleep不能构成主谓宾结构。

17. D 句意应为:“我的耳边______最后一首歌曲的节奏”所以答案是D“回响”。

18. B performance“演出”这个词是全文的主旋律,一群疯狂粉丝看一场演出,演出之后又多了一个疯狂粉丝的故事,performance这个词在文中多次出现,此题难度不高。

19. D 前一句话的含义是“我也成为了一个BW的粉丝”空格之后说的是“我会时不时听一听他们的歌”所以两句话之间不可能是让步关系; “否则”“替换”,所以答案是D besides的原义是“除了…还有”,表示递进,进一步阐释我成为BW粉丝后的状态。

20. C 四个动作的宾语是I’m back at that first show表示“我回到了第一次演出的时候”,实际上我永远也无法回到第一次演出的时候,所以这句话的内容是虚假的,所以选择C“想象”。只有这个动词后面可以加虚假内容。而“决定”“后悔”“总结”都不合适。

考点:考察记叙文

点评:本文讲述了作者在八岁时第一次听现场摇滚音乐会的经历和感受,以及后来也成为那个Black Wednesday乐队的粉丝,也因此喜欢和走入其他的音乐,但是再听这个乐队的乐曲时又会回忆起那个演唱会的情境。这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局,有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。阅读这类材料时,同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意,同时抓住每一个细节,设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图,根据情节展开想象,即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。

The Worst Part

Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.

I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial I first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.

“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “I just didn’t get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isn’t over yet.”

I thought about that.

“Something on your mind?” he asked.

“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited.” Then I was sorry I said it.

“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”

I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun. I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit?” I asked.

There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.

“Well, kid—”, he began. “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”

Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said. “When I had to stop along with some other truckers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back … I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didn’t get an answer yet.” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”

From the story we know that _______.

A. Leigh’s dad never had a rest on Sundays       B. Leigh was a deserted boy

C. Leigh’s dad lived in another city             D. Leigh’s mother often went to golf games

What happened to Bandit?

A. It was frozen to death.      B. It was let out of the cab and got lost

C. It was killed by a truck.    D. It ran off Highway 80 and into the mountain.

The underlined sentence “Keep your shirt on” probably means “_______”.

A. Listen to reason   B. Stop talking   C. Calm down         D. Keep warm

In Leigh’s eye, “the worst part” may be that ________.

A. his dad got remarried              B. his parents got divorced

C. his dad didn’t love him     D. his mom didn’t take him to pizza

This little story I’m about to tell you happened when I was 11 years old, and I’ll never forget it.
It was at my friend Jenny’s house after 36 one day, and we were doing our homework. While I was there, a friend of Jenny’s mom came over to 37. I didn’t know her name or 38 what her face looked like. I just 39 her hands, her voice and the lesson I 40 from her.
I can’t forget that she 41 her hands to introduce herself. It was so 42, I thought, rich fine skin; then I heard her saying, “Oh no, that is not 43 you shake hands. Let me teach you.” She didn’t do that at all in a condescending (屈尊的) manner. 44 that, I just remember her voice explaining the 45 of a good handshake of conveying (传达) a   46 sense of self-belief, of looking the other person in the eyes, and of making a warm  47. Hearing her friendly words, I first understand what being 48 meant.
I admired her for 49 time to teach me about one of the important things in life. I was grateful for her not talking down to me 50 I was 11 and didn’t know much. I also felt somewhat admired by the way she 51 me. It felt good to be talked to as a(n) 52, rather than as an 11-year-old child. I also 53 her telling me that if someone isn’t aware of something you should show him or her the right direction; don’t be afraid to 54 your knowledge.
I think of her every time I meet someone 55, and I’m so thankful for her little lesson.

  “First we make our habits,then our habits make us.”——Charles C.Noble
  It’s such a simple concept,yet it's something we don’t always do. It’s not extremely difficult to do, and yet I think it’s something that would make a world of difference in anyone’s life. Break your goals into habits,and focus on putting those habits into autopilot. My belief is that having one goal to focus on is much more powerful than having many goals.
  I try to turn my goals into habits,and in doing so,I put my goals on autopilot. Turning a goal into a habit means really focusing on it,seriously,for at least a month,to the exclusion of all else. The more you can focus on it, the more it’ll be put on autopilot. Let’s look at my marathon goal as an example. I was just starting out in running,and l had the brilliant idea to run a marathon within a year. But in order to achieve that goal,I broke it down into two habits:
  1.I had to make running a daily habit.
  2.I had to report to people in order to have accountability(责任)—I did this through family,friends and coworkers,through a blog,and through a column in my local newspaper every two weeks. With this accountability,there’s no way l would stop running.
  The accountability habit took a couple of months,mainly because I didn’t focus on it too much while l was building the running habit. But it stuck,and for that first year of running,I would report to people I knew and blog about my running every day and I would write a column every two weeks for my local paper.
  Once those two habits were firmly fixed,my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot. I still had to do the work,of course,but it didn’t require constant focus. And eventually,I ran the marathon. I was able to achieve this because,all year long,I had the daily running habit and daily accountability habit. I put my marathon goal into autopilot,and that made it much easier--instead of struggling with it daily for an entire year,I focused on it for one month and was able to accomplish it while focusing on new habits and goals.
55.According to the passage,we can see the key to forming a habit is ______________.
A.to break the goals into habits
B.to report to other people about your plan
C.to set a reasonable goal first
D.to focus on the habit as much as possible
56.The author told people about his running in order to ______________.
A.get more support
B.ask for their opinions
C.carry out his plan better
D.earn more admiration
57.What do we know about the author?
A.He was a local athlete.
B.He often gave people advice.
C.He had no blogs before.
D.He wrote for a local newspaper.
58.The passage is mainly about ______________.
A.goals and habits
B.how to turn your goals into habits
C.habits and achievements
D.how to make running a good habit

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

During my second year of college I had to look for another place to live in. One Sunday after church the pastor(牧师)   36   me to stay in his daughter’s room because she was studying abroad for one year.

To be honest, I really didn’t want to stay with the pastor’s family.   37   then he old me how much rent would be—a very   38__ figure that included one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about it and    39   to move in.

At the end of the term I had planned to make   40   living arrangements, since the daughter was to   41   home. But they suggested I   42   a room with their son. By this time I seemed to have been adopted(收养)into their  43   -- her people became my people. I   44   accepted the offer.

As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be   45   to have a little sister. But when I later met her, I   46   that this idea of looking after her might be more interesting than I first   47   .

We finally fell in love, married, and have been   48   one another for many years. There have been times that life turned out to be   49   than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go   50 _  largely because we knew that somebody deeply cared.

It isn’t about marriage—it’s about   51 _  . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as   52 _ as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be   53   -- you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and   54   I will need you to look after me.”

Is there somebody you can   55  ? And is someone counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is someone to look after, and when someone is looking after us.

Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was   41   into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was   42   with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t   43   fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how   44   I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. “I guess we all have to   45   something,” Mother said quietly. I could   46   her pain and the tension of   47   the strong feeling that were interrupted by my   48  . Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face   49   my shoulder and sobbed. I held her  50    and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that was   51  . At that moment, feeling Mother’s   52   with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to   53  . She was still my mother,   54    she was something   55   : a person like me, capable of fear,   56   and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought   57   in her arms.

A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station __58  .

“It’s a job I can do, though.” She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very   59   feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her   60    away across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.
