5.Section ADirections:After reading the passage below,fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.
A painter hangs his or her finished pictures on a wall,and everyone can see it.A composer writes a work,but no one can hear it (21)until/before it is performed.Professional singers and players have great responsibilities,for the composer is absolutely dependent on them.A student of music needs as long and as tough a training to become a performer as a medical student needs (22)to become(become) a doctor.Most training is concerned (23)with technique,for musicians have to be as muscularly skillful as an athlete or a ballet dancer.Singers practice breathing every day,as their vocal chords(声带) would be inadequate without (24)controlled(control) muscular support.String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down,while drawing the bow back and forth with the right arm,(25)which are two entirely different movements.
Singers and instruments have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune.Pianists(26)are spared(spare) this particular anxiety,for the notes are already there,and it is the piano tuner's responsibility to tune the instrument for (27)them.But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the string must be dealt with carefully not to sound like drum or bass,and each tone,even if played very fast,has to sound clear.
The problem (28)facing(face) student conductors is that they have to learn to know every note of the music and (29)how it should sound,and they need to aim at controlling these sound with enthusiastic but selfless authority.
Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding.Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music (30)that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.
分析 本文主要讲述画家与作曲家之间的区别.画家将已完成的作品挂在墙上,每个人都可以观赏到.作曲家写完了一部作品,得由演奏者将其演奏出来,其他人才能得以欣赏.因为作曲家是如此完全地依赖于职业歌手和职业演奏者,所以职业歌手和职业演奏者肩上的担子可谓不轻.
解答 21.until/before 考查连词.根据句意:作曲家写完了一部作品,得由演奏者将其演奏出来,其他人才能得以欣赏.用连词until/before.
22.to become 考查动词不定式.need是实义动词,后接不定式作宾语.
23.with 考查固定搭配.be concerned with意为"牵涉到; 与…有关",是固定搭配.
24.controlled 考查过去分词.根据句意:歌手们每天都练习吊嗓子,因为如果不能有效地控制肌肉的话,他们的声带将不能满足演唱的要求.用过去分词作定语修饰support.
25.which 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子,在从句中作主语,用关系代词which.
26.are spared 考查动词时态和语态.spare意为"使免遭;解除",pianists与spare之间是动宾关系,要用被动语态,且是一般事实,要用一般现在时的被动语态.
27.them 考查代词.them指代pianists.
28.facing 考查现在分词.the problem与face之间是主谓关系,用现在分词短语facing student conductors作后置定语.
29.how 考查连词.根据句意:他们必须学会了解音乐中的每一个音及其发音之道.用连词how引导宾语从句.
30.that 考查固定搭配.so…that…意为"如此/这么…以致于…",句型中的so是副词,常常用来修饰形容词或副词,常用句型为:主语+谓语+so+adj./adv.+that从句.

As a saying goes,"If you have a good friend,your joys are doubled and your sorrows are halved".Friends are a helping hand,a comforting shoulder to lean on,a patient ear to listen to you and most importantly,a warm and loving hug to embrace(拥抱) you.Man is a social animal by nature.We all need friends,as they are there for us when we need support,just as we are there for them whenever they need us.Therefore,it is necessary for you to know how to make friends.
The first step is to open yourself up.If you want to make good friends,you should be able to share your thoughts and feelings with other people first.Only when you share something of yourself with others,can you begin making friends.When your friends open a conversation with you,they are usually expecting you to share information in return.That is to say,when you are in a conversation,you'd better express your own thoughts and feelings.If a conversation is one-sided,the person doing all the talking may think the other person is not interested in what he is saying.So,when talking with your friends,be sure that the conversation is a two-way street.
One of the most important keys to building a solid(坚固的) friendship with other people is to listen to them-really listen.When your friends tell you something that happened to them or complain about a situation,they are usually not looking for agreement but just want to be heard.So don't try to change their mind or solve their problems,just let them know that you are listening to them.
Respecting your friends is also important to keep your relationships healthy and strong.Looking at your friends while they are talking to you is one way to show your respect,as they will feel that what they are saying is important to you.
Unconditional support and encouragement is one of the things which friends have.True friendship means offering a shoulder when they need it,crying with them when they are sad,and laughing with them when they are happy.Only in this way,can the tree of friendship last for a long time.
