He went to see if she had crawled (爬) into a field or something. But he didn't find her. So he began to think that she might have been 12 by someone else.

  2.从下文he liked having her on the back as it was nice company,就可以判断这个女子是“漂亮”、“很吸引人”的.

  3give sba lift固定搭配,意思是“让某人搭车”.

  4.因为下文中是nice,因此他应该是愿意让她坐在他的后面的.

  5company此处的意思是“做伴”.

  10fall off the back从车上掉下来了.因为他并没有意识到发生过什么,所以只能是一种偶然.

  12.因为上文中提到那个女人是搭车的,因此当他发现找不到那个女人时,就认为是她又搭上了其他什么人的车.

  13until连词,表示这种状况持续到他来到一个酒吧,意思是直到到了一个酒吧他才见到可以说话的人.

  14.因为他很迫切地想和什么人说说这件事,所以他决定停下来.

  15.此处他只是想找人说说这件奇怪的事,并没有什么特定的对象.

  16.从下文得知,酒店的主人以前就听说过这件事,因此并不感到惊讶.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  The decision of the New York philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment.For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a classical-music critic.

  One of the reason why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known.Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert's appointment in the Times, calls him “an musician with no air of the formidable(令人敬畏的)conductor about him.” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has so far been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.

  For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one.To be sure, he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music.All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or open my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes.

  Devoted concertgoers who reply that recording are no substitute for live performance are missing the point.For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists(演奏家) must compete not only with opera houses, dance groups , theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20 th century.Their recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today's choosing.The widespread availability of such recording has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.

  One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on records.Gilbert's own interest in new music has been widely noted:Alex Ross , a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more energetic organization”.But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely, expanding the orchestra's repertoire(曲目)will not be enough.If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America's oldest orchestra and the new audience it hopes to attract.

(1)

We learn from Para 1 that Gilbert's appointment has ________.

[  ]

A.

met with criticism

B.

received applause

C.

raised suspicion

D.

aroused curiosity

(2)

The author believes that the devoted concertgoers ________

[  ]

A.

reject most kinds of recorded performance

B.

fail to recognize the variety of live performance

C.

overestimate(高估)the variety of live performance

D.

ignore the expense of live performance

(3)

According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?

[  ]

A.

They are often inferior to live concerts in quality

B.

They are easily accessible to the general public

C.

They help improve the quality of music

D.

They have only covered masterpieces

(4)

Regarding Gilbert's role in revitalizing( 振兴) the Philharmonic, the author feels ________

[  ]

A.

enthusiastic

B.

confident

C.

puzzled

D.

doubtful
