　　(2017福建)

　　From my second grade on, there was one event I feared every year: the piano recital (独奏会)．A recital __1__ I had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers.Each year I __2__ ask my father if I could skip the recital “just this once”．And each year he'd shake his head, muttering (嘀咕)__3__ about building self­confidence and working towards a __4__.

　　So it was with really great __5__ that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in hand, and __6__ my 68­year­old father sweating in his shirt __7__ rising to play the piano in his very first recital.

　　My father had longed to play music since childhood, but his family was poor and couldn't __8__ lessons.He could have gone on regretting it, __9__ too many of us do.But though he was rooted in his past, he wasn't __10__ there.When he retired three years ago, he __11__ his church music director to take him as a student.

　　For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard, he __12__ stared down at his fingers.Has he forgotten the __13__ ？I worried, remembering those split seconds __14__ ago when my mind would go blank and my fingers would __15__.But then came the beautiful melody (旋律)，from the __16__ fingers that once baited (装饵于) my fishing lines.And I __17__ he had been doing what music teachers always stress：__18__ the music and pretend the others aren't there.

　　“I'm __19__ of him for starting something new at his age，” I said to my son Jeff.

　　“Yeah, and doing it so __20__，”Jeff added.

　　With his first recital, my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30­plus years ago.

　　【主旨大意】作者小时候每年的钢琴独奏音乐会都有父亲在背后的鼓励：要自信，要努力。作者的父亲退休后开始学习音乐课程，圆了早年由于家贫而不能学弹钢琴的梦想。听到父亲弹奏出的优美旋律，作者为他的勇气和决心感到自豪。

　　1．【答案】C

　　【解析】根据语境可以得知，每年一次的钢琴独奏会令“我”恐惧，这意味着“我”不得不反复练习一首令人厌烦的音乐曲目，然后在陌生人面前表演，因此此处应填meant (意味着)，故选C项。

　　2．【答案】A

　　【解析】根据语境得知，每年要举行钢琴独奏会时，“我”都会请求父亲让“我”放弃一次。表示过去每年都要发生的事情，即过去经常发生的事情，用would来表示，故选A项。

　　3．【答案】D

　　【解析】根据下文“…about building self­confidence and working towards…”可知，父亲嘀咕的是“要建立自信，要朝着一个目标努力”之类的一些话，故选D项。

　　4．【答案】A

　　【解析】根据语境可以得知，父亲希望“我”朝着一个明确的目标去努力，故选A项。

　　5．【答案】B

　　【解析】根据语境得知，这次轮到“我”看68岁的父亲首次表演独奏了，“我”当然感到非常满足，故选B项。

　　6．【答案】C

　　【解析】根据语境可以得知，“我”站在教堂里，手里握着摄像机，“观察到”老父亲在起身开始他的独奏之前衬衫被汗水全部浸湿了。故选C项。

　　7．【答案】D

　　【解析】根据上下文可以看出，“我”站在教堂里观察父亲是在他开始独奏之前，故选D项。

　　8．【答案】B

　　【解析】根据上文“My father had longed to play music since childhood, but his family was poor… ”可知，他的家庭没钱负担他学习音乐课程的费用，故选B项。

　　9．【答案】A

　　【解析】根据上下文可以看出，他本来可以像“我们”很多人那样，留着遗憾度过余生。此处表示“像……那样”，故选A项。

　　10．【答案】C

　　【解析】be protected意为“保护”；be stuck意为“被困住”；be spoilt意为“被宠坏”。根据上下文可知，尽管由于过去家贫，他没有机会学习音乐，但是他并未“受困于此”，而是在退休之后开始学习音乐，故选C项。

　　11．【答案】D

　　【解析】allow意为“允许”；invite意为“邀请”；inspire意为“鼓舞”；persuade意为“说服”。根据语境，只有说服教堂音乐老师收他为徒，合乎逻辑，故选D项。

　　12．【答案】B

　　【解析】roughly意为“粗糙地；概略地”；simply意为“简单地；仅仅”；merrily意为“愉快地；高兴地”；curiously意为“好奇地”。根据语境“For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard… Has he forgotten the…”可以看出，父亲一定是非常紧张，没有开始弹奏，只是低头看着自己的手指，故选B项。

　　13．【答案】C

　　【解析】根据语境可以看出，作者担心父亲是不是忘记了音符，就像多年前自己一样，大脑一片空白，手指僵硬，故选C项。

　　14．【答案】A

　　【解析】根据最后一段提到的“those 30­plus years ago”，可以推断作者回忆起的是自己几十年前表演时的状态，故选A项。

　　15．【答案】B

　　【解析】根据上文提到的 “…when my mind would go blank…”可以推断出“我”的手变得僵硬，因此，选择B项。

　　16．【答案】A

　　【解析】“根据 …stared down at his fingers”以及“But then came the beautiful melody(旋律), from the…”可知，此处意为出自相同的手指，故选A项。

　　17．【答案】B

　　【解析】听到父亲弹奏出的优美旋律，“我”意识到父亲一直在按照音乐老师告诉他的在做，故选B项。

　　18．【答案】D

　　【解析】pass over意为“超过；忽略”；turn up意为“出现；发生”；bring in意为“引进；生产”；concentrate on意为“集中精力于；全神贯注于”。根据“…he had been doing what music teachers always stress…”可知，音乐老师是让他全身心投入音乐之中，假装其他人不存在，故选D项。

　　19．【答案】D

　　【解析】根据语境可以看出，“我”对儿子说，“我”为父亲在那么大的年龄开始学习新东西而感到自豪，故选D项。

　　20．【答案】C

　　【解析】根据语境“…Jeff added…”可以推断，他也同意“我”说的话，认为祖父做得非常好，故选C项。

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　(2017广东，A)

　　Samuel Osmond is a 19­year­old law student from Cornwall, England.He never studied the piano.However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts.Then he thinks about the notes in his head.Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲) by Beethoven.He surprised everyone around him.

　　Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable.They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special.Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead.Now, he studies law and music.

　　Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised.“I grew up with music.My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar.About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons.It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note, ” says Samuel.

　　Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college.The piece had more than a thousand notes.The audience was impressed by his amazing performance.He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it.Samuel says confidently, “It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”

　　However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music.His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.

　　Samuel is still only a teenager.He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future.For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

　　【主旨大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。 文章叙述了一个19岁的大学生塞缪尔在记忆力，尤其是音乐方面独特的天赋。

　　1．【答案】D

　　【解析】细节理解题。 根据第一段第二句和第三句可知，虽然塞缪尔没学过弹钢琴，却能在听完曲子几分钟后弹奏一些高难度的名曲。故选D项。第三句中however一词起了转折作用，突出了塞缪尔的独特才能。

　　2．【答案】B

　　【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents…”可知塞缪尔将来想做律师，以实现父母的愿望，故选B项(塞缪尔计划做一名律师，而非音乐家)。

　　3．【答案】C

　　【解析】细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“…I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music…”可知他不会识谱就能弹钢琴。故C项符合文意。A、B、D三项均未出现在文章中。

　　4．【答案】B

　　【解析】主旨大意题。文章第一段就点明了主题，接下来文章围绕主题分层次深入展开。每一段都谈到了他的音乐才能。由此可知选B项。

　　Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

　　From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money, and time.__1__ Money is a topic I'll save for another day.So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：

　　1．Think ahead.The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat.So think ahead of the coming week.When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? __2__

　　2．Make your time worth it.When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on.Are you making one loaf of bread? __3__ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

　　3．__4__ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation.It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule.The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

　　Hopefully that gives you a good start.___5__ And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

　　A．Try new things.

　　B．Ability is easily improved.

　　C．Make three or four instead.

　　D．Understand your food better.

　　E．Cooking is a burden for many people.

　　F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

　　G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

　　1．【答案】B

　　【解析】根据第一句中的关键信息“three main reasons”，“ ability, money, and time”以及空后提到了money和time可知，设空处应提到ability。故选B项。

　　2．【答案】G

　　【解析】本段的关键词是“Think ahead”，选项G也提到了“planning ahead(提前计划)”。故选G项。

　　3．【答案】C

　　【解析】根据空前的问题“Are you making one loaf of bread？” 结合空后句子表达的意思，同一种食物多做一些并不会多花太多时间，可以推断出C项符合语境。

　　4．【答案】A

　　【解析】根据空后的关键信息“experimentation”和“hit upon new ideas”可以推断出，本段的主题应该是“尝试新事物”。故选A项。

　　5．【答案】F

　　【解析】空前句意为：希望这些建议能让你有一个好的开始。由空后句子的意思“不要让忙碌阻碍你在生活中向好的方向改变”可知，此处应填“要让烹饪和生活成为快乐而非负担”，故选F项。

　　Ⅳ.短文改错

　　(2017浙江)

　　I was taking a train to London's Victoria Station.I had noticed that the carriage was noise and filled with people.

　　Before long, a train inspector comes to check our tickets.A passenger realized he couldn't find his ticket but become quite upset.Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner.The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.

　　No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket­owner before.Yet they had so quickly offered the strangers their help.If we could show concern to others on need, the world would be a better place to live in.

　　【答案】

　　I was taking a train to London's Victoria Station.I

　　had　 noticed that the carriage was

　　and filled with people.Before long, a train inspector

　　to check our tickets.A passenger realized he couldn't find his ticket

　　become quite upset.Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from

　　owner.The person who found ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.

　　No one in the carriage had

　　spoken to or even noticed the ticket­owner before.Yet they had so quickly offered the their help.If we could show concern to others

　　need, the world would be a better place to live in.

　　【解析】

　　第一处：去掉had　全文讲述过去发生的事，而且notice这个动作并非发生在“过去的过去”，故此句应用一般过去时。

　　第二处：noise→noisy　作表语应用形容词形式，noisy意为“喧闹的”。

　　第三处：comes→came　全文讲述过去发生的事，此句也应用一般过去时。

　　第四处：but→and　由语境可知，此处不是转折关系，而是顺承关系，故用and连接。

　　第五处：searching后加for　search作“寻找”讲时是不及物动词，后跟宾语时须加介词for。

　　第六处：his→its/the　由语境可知，此处指车票的主人，故将his改为its，或用the表特指。

　　第七处：a→the　此处特指丢失的那张车票，应用定冠词the。

　　第八处： previous→previously　修饰动词应用副词形式。

　　第九处：strangers→stranger　由语境可知，此处特指丢车票的那个人，他对其他乘客来说是陌生人，故应用单数形式。

　　第十处： on→in　in need为固定短语，意为“有困难的；在危难中”。
