　　(2016·江西南昌调研)

　　Music is constantly changing, and the ways we listen to it are changing, too. Far before the online music, when music couldn't be recorded, you had to either play music yourself or hear someone else play the songs. __1__ Next came the radio and there were many innovations (新发明) that followed. Now we are going digital.

　　__2__ Today, music lovers discovered a good way of finding and sharing music through the Internet.

　　One type of online music radio station is designed to generate “unique” radio stations automatically (自动地)．__3__ The disadvantage, of course, is that the computer program was picking your music for you with the result that you had to spend a lot of time previewing, skipping and banning songs you didn't like. 977 Music takes the customized listening experience to the next level with on­demand playlists.

　　__4__ On 977 Music, you can add in up to 1,000 songs that mix in your favorite music whichever way you like and play it over the Internet. __5__ 977 music. com Internet Radio playlists put you in complete control!

　　A. The Internet has clearly become an online heaven for music lovers.

　　B. Then the MP3 player was invented.

　　C. The next step in creating your own online radio station was to create your own playlist.

　　D. Then the phonograph (留声机) was invented.

　　E. Users typed in the name of their favorite songs or artists and could hear songs picked by a complex computer program.

　　F. Add any song in our library and sort your songs to play in any order you want.

　　G. Download all the songs you want in your computer.

　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说的是音乐随着时代的变化而变化，其中特别提到了977 music.com这个网站，该网站对于喜欢音乐的人来说很有用。

　　1．D　根据下句“Next came the radio and there were many innovations (新发明) that followed.”可知，空处谈的应该是之前的发明，故D项“那时候发明了留声机”符合语境。而B项是数字化的体现，与语境不符。

　　2．A　根据下句“Today，music lovers discovered a good way of finding and sharing music through the Internet.”可知，现在音乐爱好者发现了一种通过网络查找和分享音乐的好方法，故A项“网络显然已经成为音乐爱好者的线上天堂”符合语境。

　　3．E　根据下句中的“The disadvantage”以及“the computer program”可知，空处应该是对这个电脑程序的介绍，故E项“通过复杂的电脑程序，用户把自己最喜欢的歌曲或者歌手的名字输入就能够听歌”符合语境。

　　4．C　根据下句“On 977 Music，you can add in up to 1,000 songs that mix in your favorite music whichever way you like and play it over the Internet.”可知，在977音乐网站上，你可以添加多达l 000首歌曲，那么C项“下一步就是创建自己的播放清单”符合语境。

　　5．F　此空说的是如何添加音乐以及如何对你的音乐进行分类，与下文的“977 music.com Internet Radio playlists put you in complete control！”相衔接，故选F。

　　三、语法填空

　　(2016·山西考前质监)

　　As a man was passing some elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope __1__ (tie) to their front leg. No chains, no cages. __2__ was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break __3__ from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

　　He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt __4__ (get) away. “Well，” __5__ trainer said, “when they were very young and much __6__ (small), we used ropes of the same size to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grew up, they were conditioned to believe the rope __7__ still hold them, so they never tried running free.”

　　The man was amazed. These animals could at any time escape from their bonds but __8__ they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

　　Like the elephants, how many of us go through life __9__ (hang) onto a belief that we cannot do something, __10__ (simple) because we failed at it once before? Failure is part of learning; we should never give up struggle in life.

　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　本文通过大象被绳子束缚却不挣脱的现象告知我们一个道理。

　　1．tied　考查非谓语动词。rope和tie之间是动宾关系，且此处非谓语动词表示状态，故用过去分词tied。

　　2．It　考查固定句型。“It is＋adj.＋that...”为固定句型，It为形式主语，that引导的从句是真正的主语。

　　3．away　考查动词短语。break away from表示“挣脱……，从……逃脱”。

　　4．to get　考查非谓语动词。make no attempt to do sth.表示“不图……，未有……之想”。

　　5．the　考查冠词。此处用定冠词the表示特指。

　　6．smaller　考查形容词的比较级。结合语境和much可知此处应用形容词small的比较级。

　　7．could　考查情态动词。当它们长大时，它们就习惯性地认为绳子依然能够拴住它们。结合语境和相关句子的时态可知此处用情态动词could表示“能”。

　　8．because　考查原因状语从句。这些大象在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子，但是因为它们认为不能，所以它们就待在原处。because引导原因状语从句，表示直接原因。

　　9．hanging　考查非谓语动词。此处应用现在分词的主动式作状语表示伴随状况和主动关系。

　　10．simply　考查词类转换。此处应用副词作状语，simply表示“仅仅，只是”。

　　四、短文改错

　　It was 2：05 in the afternoon. When I entered into the classroom, our class teacher was operating the camera, and my classmates were all talking about it. Most of us have never been in front of a video camera ago, so we were quite nervous. As for me, I once faced it at home. And this was different. We had to separately talk about our article as if we were reading news on TV. The funny thing were that every time I tried to face the camera and talk about my article, I forgot it and couldn't resist look down at it. It was a complete different experience for me.

　　范文　

　　Come back to reality

　　As is shown in the picture, a woman is sitting in front of a computer and trying to make friends on the Net. Just outside the door, many people are watching, eager to make friends with her. However, they are all neglected.

　　The picture reminds me of many young people who are computer addicts in the virtual world. What is worse is that the situation continues and sooner or later those people will be eventually cut off from the real world. There is no doubt that the virtual world can be exciting, but that's not the reason for them. Too much time and energy devoted to the Internet will lead to a disaster both physically and mentally. In other words, the real world that we live in is what really counts.

　　As for myself, I'll devote myself to more worthwhile things in real life, from making friends to studying, only in this way can I make my life full and valuable.
