分析 作者在本文中讲述了自己学习音乐的故事，小时候花费了很多时间学习小提琴，但却没弄懂什么是真正的音乐．中学毕业后在一位朋友的建议下又开始学习吉他，因为他们认为弹吉他很酷．现在吉他已经成为了作者日常生活的一个重要部分．

解答 When I was a child，I spent more than ten years learn the violin．Therefore，I couldn't understand"real music"．After I graduated at high school，a friend of mine suggested that we started to learn the guitar because we all thought it was cool．l will never forget the day that we went to buy guitars in a guitar store．There I saw a guitar player playing the guitar，that I really enjoyed．He became my first guitar teacher．It took me such a long time∧choose a guitar among several wonderful model．Now the guitar is the most importantly part of my life and I practice it every day．
详解：
1．learn改为learning；考查固定搭配，spend time （in）doing是固定用法，意为"花费时间做某事．"
 2．Therefore改为However；考查连词，结合上下文分析，前面讲到"我花费了大量时间学习小提琴"，后面又说"我不懂真正的音乐"，所以这里应当是一种转折关系，故用However放在句首．
3．at改为from；考查介词，graduate from是固定搭配，意为"毕业于…"．
4．started改为start；考查语法规则，suggest作"建议"讲后面跟宾语从句时，从句的谓语动词用should+动词原形，should可以省略，故此处把started改为start．
5．all改为both；考查代词，这里指"我的朋友和我"是两个人，不是指所有人，故all改为both．
6．that改为when；考查定语从句，先行词the day指时间，故用关系副词when．
7．that改为which；考查冠词代词，分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，此处用关系代词which指代上文提到的这件事．
8．choose前面加to；考查动词的不定式，此处不定式表示目的，意为"花费时间去做某事"．
9．model改为models；考查名词，model为可数名词，前面有several（几个） 修饰，故用复数形式models．
10．importantly改为important；考查形容词，此处形容词important用在系动词之后作表语．

点评 短文改错要先整体阅读短文，掌握短文的基本大意，在运用所掌握的词汇，语法，习惯短语等基本知识对每个句子详细分析，找出文中的错误加以修改．

4．The majority of Indian women wear a red dot （圆点） between their eyebrows．While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital （婚姻的） status，the practice is primarily related to the Hindu religion．The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects，and"bindi"is the one that is most commonly known．Traditionally，the dot carries no gender restriction：Men as well as women wear it．However，the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times，so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one．
The position of the bindi is standard：center of the forehead，close to the eyebrows．It represents a third，or inner eye．Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes：The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world，and the third one is there to focus inward toward God．As such，the dot serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer's thoughts．
Red is the traditional color of the dot．It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife's eyes to seal their marriage．According to Hindu beliefs，the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple．Today，people go with different colors depending upon their preferences．Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes．Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes，colors and variations，and can be worn by young and old，married and unmarried people alike．Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom．
35．Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead？C

A．To pay respect to God．
B．To stay in harmony with nature．

37．Why was red chosen as the original color of the bindi？D

5．Two things I did may have caused people（31）to think （think） that something is wrong with me．The first was when my wife asked me to have the sitting-room clock （32）repaired （repair）．I drove into the market place of our little town and，clock under arm，entered a shop．Only it was the meat shop．（33）Withmy thoughts far away，I stood staring into the shop-keeper's eyes．I （34）had been（be） his customers for a long time and the good man smiled at me．
This went on for several very long seconds before I realized where I was．There is no doubt that I should have calmly bought a pound of meat，（35）butI merely nodded briefly and left．
The other man in my town who probably thinks I am mad is Mr．Smith．Some years ago he was manager of Mead's Shop，and he and I knew each other quite well．One day，he（36）was standing（stand） in the doorway of his shop when I passed．My brain was on some distant problem and my eyes stared into space．
"Hello，Mr．Herriot，"I heard his voice．I turned a blank gaze on him-I just had no idea（37）whohe was though his face was familiar．Then I saw（38）theword"MEAD"in foot-high letters above the shop window．
"Good morning，Mead，"I cried heartily and continued my way．I had gone only a few steps before I realized that my greeting had been（39）impolite（polite）．I turned back and said to him again，"Good morning，Mister Mead．"
It was only when I had turned the corner of the street that I realized，too late，（40）thathis name was Tony and the time was late afternoon．
2．--I'm sorry，Sir．I got stuck in the heavy snow on the way to work this morning．
--    you were so late．It is none of your business．（　　）
A．Go aheadB．Forget itC．No wonderD．No way
9．This Saturday night at 8：30，all the lights will be shut off at the Tokyo in Japan．The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and the Eiffel Tower in Paris are also expected to（16）go dark．So is the Empire State Building in New York and buildings in other cities around the world．
The lights will stay off for one hour for an event called Earth Hour．The observance（17）is organized by a conservation group，the World Wide Fund for Nature，also known as the World Wild Fund．For the fourth year，people are being urged to （18）turn off their lights for one hour to call attention to the issue of climate change．The group says climate change is one of the （19）greatest threatsfacing wildlife and nature．
The first Earth Hour was held in 2007in Sydney，Australia．Organizers said more than 2，000businesses and two million people took part．（20）Since then，Earth Hour has grown into an international event．People in more than 4，000cities in 88countries took part last year．
1．Everyone has his own way of saying things and his own special expressions．Many everyday American expressions are based  （41）oncolors．Red is a hot color．Americans often use（42）itto express heat．They may say they are red hot about something unfair．When they are red hot they are very （43）angry  （anger） about something．The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods（44）are called（call） red hots for their color and their spicy taste．Fast loud music is popular with many people．They may say the music is red hot，（45）especially   （especial） the kind called Dixieland jazz．Pink is a （46）lighter （light） kind of red．People sometimes say they are in the pink （47）whenthey are in good health．The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the  （48）twentieth（twenty） century．It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color （49）that/which shows that they are in good health．Blue is a cool．The traditional blues music in the United States is （50）the  opposite of red hot music．Blues is slow，sad and soulful（深情的）．Someone who is blue is very sad．
8．A rapidly advancing contemporary science that is highly dependent on new tools is Earth system science．Earth system science involves observation and measurements on the Earth at all scales from the largest to the smallest．The huge amounts of data that are gathered come from many different locations and require special techniques for handling data．Important new tools that facilitate Earth system science include satellite remote sensing，small deep-sea submarines，and geographic information systems．
More than any other way of gathering evidence，satellite observations continually remind us that each part of the Earth interacts with and is dependent on all other parts．
Earth system science was born from the realization of that interdependence．Satellite remote sensing makes possible observations at large scales，and in many cases，measurements of factors that could not otherwise be measured．For example，the ozone hole over Antarctica--the decrease in the concentration of ozone high in the atmosphere--is measured by remote sensing，as are changes in deserts，forests，and farmlands around the world．Such measurements can be used in many areas of specialization besides Earth system science．Archaeology，for example，has benefited from satellite observations that reveal the traces of ancient trade routes across the Arabian Desert．
New tools for exploring previously inaccessible areas of the Earth have also added greatly to our knowledge of the Earth system．Small deep-sea submarines allow scientists to travel to the depths of the ocean．There they have discovered new species and ecosystems thriving near deep-sea vents that emit heat，sasses，and mineral-rich water．
Just as important as new methods of measurement and exploration are new ways to store and analyze data about the Earth system．Computer-based software programs known as geographic information systems，or GIS，allow a large number of data points to be stored along with their locations．These can be used to produce maps and to compare different sets of information gathered at different times．For example，satellite remote sensing images of a forest can be converted to represent stages in the forest's growth．Two such images，made at different times can be overlaid and compared，and the changes that have taken place can be represented in a new image．

D．Satellite remote sensing can show changes between two images taken years apart．
5．Until late in the 20th century，most Americans spent time with people of generations．Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves．That's because we group people by age．We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center，our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities，and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes．Why？
We live away from the old for many reasons：young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying．It is much harder to watch．someone we love disappear before our eyes．Sometimes it's so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most．
Fortunately，．some of us have found our way to the old．And we have discovered that they often save the young．
A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people．At first her children were disappointed．But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit．Soon the children had many new friends，with whom they shared food，stories and projects．"My children have never been less lonely，"the reporter said．
The young，in turn，save the old．Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby．She was immediately surrounded．People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair．Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child．Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure．
Grandparents are a special case．They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity．As my husband put it，"my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end．"
Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents．"My parents were always telling me to hurry up，and my grandparents told me to slow down，"one friend said．A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents：they are quieter，calmer，more trusting．

29．Now in an American family，people can find thatC．
A．children never live with their parents．
B．aged people are supported by their grandchildren．
C．not all working people live with their parents．
D．grandchildren are supported by their grandparents．
30．The reason why old people are left alone may be thatD．
A．the old don't like to live in a big family．
B．the young can't get enough money to support the old．
C．the old are too weak to live with the young．
D．different generations have different lifestyles．
31．The fact that the reporter told us shows thatA．
A．old people are easy to get along with．
B．old people in America enjoy banana bread．
C．she had no time to take care of her children．
D．old people in America lead a hard life．
32．By saying"Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure"the author meansC．
A．old people had never seen her baby before
B．the baby was clever and beautiful
C．the baby brought old people the image of life
D．the baby's mother would take care of them．
6．[1]Do you remember the title of the last book you read？Are names sometimes just beyond your brain's reach？While forgetfulness isn't necessarily a sign that something's wrong，it can be frustrating（令人沮丧的）．But simple methods can help to sharpen your memory．
[2]Challenge your habits．Sometimes a little bit of habit changing goes a long way．For example，use the‘wrong'hand to do an everyday task several times a day．If you usually brush your teeth with your right hand，use your left．The brain‘knows'whew you're using the wrong hand．It's that confusion that stimulates new brain circuits，as the brain struggles to master a new task．
[3]Get involved in niusic．Listening to music can improve your ability to concentrate and help you to remember what you've learnt．Some types of music actually cause brain neurons（神经细胞）to fire more quickly．If you're really looking forward to sharpening your memory，take up a musical instrument．Whatever the instrument，learning to p1ay will tune your brain's ability to analyse and focus．
[41Go out of your way to stay mentally active．What really counts is not the amount of book learning you did at school or university，it's how much you actively use your mind．For example，doing crossword puzzles，learning a second language or playing games can exercise your brain．
[5]．Make sure that you get enough of the B vitamins in your diet．They help to repair brain tissue，and turn food into mental energy．Eat fish 2 or 3 times a week．If you drink coffee，you'll not only get a short-term boost in your ability to concentrate but also long-term benefits as well．Besides，the brain is 85%water，so if you don't drink at least 8 large glasses of water a day，you could suffer from memory loss．

66．What is this text mainly about？（no more than 5 words）Ways/How to sharpen your memory．/Methods of sharpening your memory． 
67．What are the two questions at the beginning used for？（no more than 4 words）
To introduce the topic．/For introducing the topic．
