3．An idea came to me，and I turned off the lights in the studio．In the darkness，I took off my shirt and took up the cello （大提琴）； it was the first time in my life I'd fel the instrument against my bare chest．I'd never thought about that； music scholars always talk about the resonating properties （共振） of various instruments，but surely the performer's own body must have some effect on the sound．As I dug into the notes I imagined that my own chest and lungs were extensions of the sound box； I seemed to be able to change the sound by the way I sat，and by varying the muscular tightness in my upper body．
After improvising for a while，I started playing，still in the darkness．I heard the music through my skin．For the first time I didn't think about how it would sound to anyone else，and slowly，joyfully，gratefully，I started to hear again．The notes sang out，first like a trickle：，then like a fountain of cool water bubbling up from a hole in the middle of a desert．After an hour or soI looked up，and in the darkness saw the outline of the cat sitting on the floor in front of me，cleaning her paws and purring loudly，I had an audience again，humble as it was．
So that's what I do now with my cello．At least once a clay I find time to tune it，close my eyes and listen．It's probably not going to lead to the kind of comeback I'd be thirsty for-years of playing badly have left scars on my technique-but I might eventually try giving a concert if I feel up to it．
Occasionally I feel a stab of longing，and I wish I could give just one more concert on a great stage before m lights blink off，but that longing passes more quickly now．I take comfort in the fact that，unlike the way I felt before，I can enjoy playing for myself now．I feel relaxed and expansive when I play，as if I could stretch out my arms and reach from one end of the apartment to the other．A feeling of completeness and dignity surrounds me and lifts me up．

60．The writer put the cello against his bare chest toB．
A．test music scholars'ideas about the resonating properties
B．experience the effect of his body on the musical sound
C．reduce his muscular tightness in his upper body
D．check the function of the sound box
61．In Paragraph 2，the writer intends toC．
A．explain his feelings of playing before a cat
B．identify specific pieces of music he layed
C．express his feelings of playing against his body
D．describe the sound when he played against his body
62．From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer wasA．
A．optimistic    B．discouraged     C．nervous      D．enthusiastic
63．The passage is mainly aboutC
A．a musician playing he cello for an audience
B．a musician's feelings when playing the cello
C．a musician finding joy in playing music in a new way
D．a musician's desire to return to his former profession．

分析 我第一次裸露着上身在黑暗的工作室里拉大提琴，我所确定的是演奏者的身体会对乐器的声音有影响，通过坐的方式和上半身肌肉的收缩可以调节声音．
   调整了一会，我开始演奏．我能听到音乐经过我的皮肤释放出来，一开始像小溪，后来像喷泉．一只猫坐在我的面前舔舐着爪子，它是我谦卑的听众．
   这就是我现在利用大提琴所做的，我的演技很糟糕，已经给我留下了阴影，但我仍然渴望开一个我自己的音乐会．
   时而我感到一股渴望，但一念之间它又很快消失．我现在可以享受音乐了．当我演奏时，我感到放松与富有，满足感和尊贵感围绕在我的身边，把我高高抬起．

解答 60-63 BCAC
60．B 细节理解题 根据第一自然段相关语境"music scholars always talk about the resonating properties （共振） of various instruments，but surely the performer's own body must have some effect on the sound．"可知作者把大提琴靠到裸露的胸部是因为作者确信演奏者的身体可以影响乐器的声音，所以结合选项可知选项B提到的体验身体对音乐的影响是正确的，故选B．
61．C 分析判断题 分析第二自然段的语境可知都是讲述作者弹琴时的感受"slowly，joyfully，gratefully，I started to hear again．The notes sang out，first like a trickle：，then like a fountain"从这些形容词和比喻中可以推断出正确答案，故选C．
62．A 分析判断题．本题推断作者的情感，根据最后一自然段的语境，从这些用词"enjoy，relaxed，completeness and dignity"中可以判定作者对音乐是具有积极心态的；又从上一自然段得知作者演技"playing badly have left scars on my technique"不如意，综合来看作者是持乐观态度的，故选A．
63．C 分析判断题． 本题找出全文的主要意思，在把握整体文意的前提下结合选项．全文一开始就讲述作者是身体感知乐器的新方法来演奏大提琴并紧接着给出了感受．结合选项意思（joy，in a new way），故选C．

点评 本文主要讲述作者通过用身体感知乐器的新方法来演奏大提琴并紧接着给出了感受，对音乐事业充满着乐观态度．题目中多分析判断题，要在充分理解相关语境的前提下认真分析每一个选项，可以用排除法来得出正确答案；分析理解题，要在把握全文的基础上重点对题目中的个点进行前后联系的分析，从而得出答案．

She heard the garage door open and close，but much to her surprise，she heard it open again about thirty seconds later．From above，she watched her husband dash into the house and walk over to the forgotten coffee table．Marking the surface of it with his finger through the dust with the words"I love you"，then he raced back to his car．
The new widow then looked out at her audience and said，"John and I had a wonderful life together．We have been around the world several times．We've had everything money can buy…but nothing comes close to that moment．"
