Ⅲ.阅读理解
Les Paul is one of the most influential people in modern popular music. He was a skillful guitarist who played an energetic mixture of jazz and country songs. He was also an inventor.
The electric guitar and recording devices he created changed the sound of popular music and greatly influenced rock and roll.
Les Paul is best known for creating one of the first solidbody electric guitars and the eighttrack recording device. He also perfected new recording methods to give special effects to his music.
Les Paul was born Lester William Polfuss (POLLfuss)in 1915 in Waukesha, (WAHkuhshaw)Wisconsin. By the age of nine, he had taught himself to play the harmonica and had built a radio. He also learned to play the guitar and banjo. He could not read music, but he could play music that he heard. And he had a good sense of musical structure.
Les Paul was soon performing in country bands in the Midwest. He left high school to perform full time on radio shows. He performed using the names “The Wizard of Waukesha”, “Hot Rod Red” and “Rhubarb Red”. He also started playing music influenced by great jazz guitarists including Django Reinhardt.
By 1937, he had formed the Les Paul trio. He moved to New York City the next year. Les Paul played with many famous performers including the popular singer Bing Crosby.
Around 1941, Les Paul invented his famous guitar. He wanted to make an instrument that could play a note longer than notes played on a traditional acoustic guitar. He developed a new kind of electric guitar that had a solid body. On an acoustic guitar, the strings vibrate and the hollow part of the instrument, or the sound box, also vibrates. Les Paul wanted an instrument in which only the strings vibrated.
In the 1970s, Les Paul made two records with the country guitarist Chet Atkins. One was called “Chester and Lester”. It won a Grammy Award in 1976. Starting in the early 1980s, Paul began playing in jazz clubs in New York City. He kept on performing weekly until a few months before his death.

c. He performed full time on radio shows.
d. He began playing in jazz clubs in New York City.
e. He invented his famous guitar.
A.abcde
B.bcade

答案
课时作业(二十一)
Ⅰ.1.D 考查冠词。句意:“爸爸,看!为什么彩虹像一张弓?”“哦,它正向生气的天空道歉。”天空和彩虹都是双方知道的事,故均用定冠词the。
2.B 考查固定搭配。句意:他所说的对我来说没有意义。make no sense为固定搭配,意思是“没有道理;没有意义”。
3.B 考查“with+宾语+宾语补足语”的用法。句意:随着水位的不断上升,这位勇敢的士兵跳进水里救起那位溺水的村民。water与rise之间存在主动关系,且指水位正在不断上升,故选B项。
4.D 考查连词。句意:“你能算出这道题吗?”“我不能,除非你解释怎么做。”A、B、C三项后不接句子。unless是从属连词,引导条件状语从句,故选D项。
5.B 考查动词短语辨析。句意:国务院已经提出了一项有利于农民利益的新经济政策。根据句意可知此处表示“提出一项新的经济政策”,所以用put forward。
6.A 考查way后接定语的形式。句意:学习英语口语的最好方法是每天多说点。the way of doing/to do sth.是固定短语,意为“做某事的方法”。
7.A 考查动词的语态。句意:我觉得是你的丈夫宠坏了孩子。be to blame没有被动形式。
8.A 考查时间状语从句。句意:他一进来,我就认出他了。the moment在此相当于连词,引导一个时间状语从句,意为“一……就”。
9.A 考查名词辨析。句意:在你开始之前,你应该仔细读汽车修理手册的说明。instruction “说明,操作指南”常用复数形式。construction “建筑物”;introduction “介绍”;explanation “解释”。
10.A 考查动词辨析。句意:总理最后说他在中国的参观非常满意。conclude “结束,终止”;conduct “指挥”;consider“考虑”;confuse “困惑;迷惑”。
11.B 考查时间状语从句。分析句式结构可知此处缺少连词连接两个句子,仅by the time和each time可以后接从句。再根据句意:每当你遇到不懂的单词时都不要停下来,故选B。
12.A 考查动词辨析。句意:警察正在到处寻找被认为和这项犯罪活动有牵连的詹姆斯先生。be linked to意为“与……有关”; worried意为“担心的”;united意为“联合的;团结的”; mixed意为“混合的”。
13.B 考查动词辨析。由下文的“她被警方询问”可以看出,是因为她被怀疑(suspect)卷入了那起谋杀未遂案。suspect sb. of doing sth.“怀疑某人做了某事”,故这里应用过去分词作原因状语。convince “使信服”;charge “指控”; confirm “证实”。
14.A 考查倒装。only if意为“只要,只有”,其置于句首,主句部分倒装。
15.A 考查交际用语。句意:“妈妈,我很累。我不能再走了。”“加油,亲爱的。”你可以做到。come on意为“加油;振作起来;前进;随后跟上;快点;赶紧”,在此表示鼓励孩子加把劲,符合句意。其余三项不合语境。
Ⅱ.本文主要讲述了玛丽和约翰出差在外,把两个孩子托付给保姆。回家时发现弗雷德·琼斯的房子着火了,而他在工厂上班,应该还未回家,于是他们过去帮忙。约翰不顾妻子的反对,冒着生命的危险到地下室救小孩,最后抱上来的两个小孩竟然是自己的孩子。
16.A 由下文可知他被派去出差,又与前文的好家庭相对,可知此处应该说的是好工作,故选A项。
17.C 并决定(decide)妻子也需要一起去。其余三空不合语境。
18.B 夫妻俩要离开,应该会雇用(hire)一个人照顾孩子。intend意欲,打算;remind使想起。
19.D 与前文的“had just been asked to go on a business trip”相呼应,可知他们应该因公外出了,故选D项。
20.B 当他们开车回家时,发现一幢房子着火了。as意为“当……时”,引导时间状语从句,故选B项。before在……之前;once一旦;since自从……以来,均不合语境。
21.D 与前面的“准备回家”构成转折关系,意为“但当约翰的车开近一些时,他惊叫道……”。
22.A be off work为固定搭配,意为“下班”。句意:他按理来说还未下班。
23.C 当他们开车过去时,他们都吓坏了,发现整栋房子都在火焰中。horrorstricken意为“吓坏了的”,符合语境。heartbroken心碎的;consciencestricken内疚的;povertystricken非常贫穷的。
24.B 这种情况下,草坪上一位妇女应该是正歇斯底里地大叫,scream意为“(因伤痛、害怕、激动而)尖叫,大声叫”。cough咳嗽;whisper低声说;weep哭泣。
25.D 尽管玛丽反对,约翰抓过水管,浸湿衣服,把湿手帕盖在头上……in spite of意为“尽管”,符合句意。apart from除此之外;in case of万一;instead of代替。
26.C 紧急情况下,约翰应该是冲到了地下室。dash意为“冲,猛冲”,符合句意。
27.A 发生了火灾,地下室里应该是充满了烟(smoke)。
28.D 从地下室救上两个孩子后,他应该是问下面(down)还有没有孩子了。
29.C 这么危险的情况下以及由后文玛丽所说的话可知,她应该是抓住(grab)他的手臂,不想让他再冒险下去救人了。
30.A 由后一句“那房子随时会坍塌”,可知此时应该是危险的(dangerous)。
31.B 在浓烟滚滚的屋子里,他应该摸索着走,feel one's way意为“摸索着走”,符合句意。
32.D 在他找到孩子并返回之前仿佛(seem)是一段漫长的时间。mean打算,意味;spare节省,抽出(时间);spend花费。
33.B 最后当他们出来到了阳光(sunlight)和新鲜空气里……
34.D 他发现他正好救了(rescue)自己的孩子。recognize认出,察觉。
35.A 原来是临时保姆在去购物时把他们托付到这一家。leave在此意为“交托”。charge索价,控诉,使充电;remove移走,开除;forget忘记。
Ⅲ.本文为一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一个在现代流行音乐中颇有盛名的人物Les Paul,他不仅能弹得一手好吉他,而且还是一位发明家。
