　　.阅读理解

　　In the south there were large cotton farms called plantations.Growing cotton was very hard work,so slaves were brought from Africa to work in the fields.The white slave owners did not let the slaves have drums because they knew that Africans could use drums to send messages.

　　Most slave owners did not let the slaves keep their African dances or their religions.All the slaves had to become Christian.They sang white religious songs but they added African rhythms to the music.We call these songs“spirituals”.Some spirituals told about the hard life of the slaves or their wish to run away.Although the slaves could not do African dances,in church,they clapped their hands and moved their whole bodies.Today black religious music is called gospel music(福音音乐).

　　In Louisiana and the city of New Orleans the slave owners were French.They let the slaves and the free blacks play drums and horns;they also let them keep their African dances.Black musicians in New Orleans put European musical instruments and songs together with African rhythms.They made a new musical sound that was later called jazz.

　　Many of the first jazz instruments were home made.Black people also made rhythm with their hands,feet,and bodies.Later black brass bands(黑人铜管乐队),in the French style,became common.These bands played at special times like weddings and funerals.You can still hear early form of jazz in the city of New Orleans.

　　The slaves were set free in 1865,ahead the Civil War between the North and the South.Since that time black gospel music and jazz have become an important part of the popular music in America.

　　.短文改错

　　What is your favourite kind of music?Do you like jazz,popular music,classical music,folk songs,blues,and so on?In high school I took one course calling music appreciation which I great enjoyed.This was not only to learn how to play a specific instrument but learn how to read and listen to music as an art form.We read the stories about the life of many composers and the history of the music instruments themselves.Sometimes we listen to tapes in the language laboratory or concerts.Music is sometimes called an universal language.A composer whom cannot speak a single word of our language can make us feel joy and pride,excitement and despair,peace and mystery along his music.

　　##

　　Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文为记叙文,陈述了美国黑人音乐的起源。

　　1.A　主旨大意题。第一段作为铺垫引出福音音乐和爵士乐的起源,接下来的段落都是支撑该类音乐的起源这一主题的。

　　2.C　细节理解题。由第一段末中的“send messages”可知,白人奴隶主害怕黑人可以用鼓传递信息,逃离种植园。

　　3.A　细节理解题。由文章第三段的最后两句话可知:新奥尔良黑人音乐家们运用欧洲的乐器,在歌曲中加入非洲音乐的节奏,创造了一种新的音乐,称之为爵士乐。也就是说爵士乐是在新奥尔良诞生的。

　　4.B　意图态度题。整篇文章谈的是音乐,而非早期黑人的艰苦生活,故A项错误;C项和D项只是文章所谈音乐的一部分,不能代表全部;所以选B项。

　　.【语篇导读】本文是夹叙夹议文。一把小提琴的美妙乐音应被世人欣赏,同样,我们的生活也要过得有意义。为理想而活,为帮助他人而活,我们会感到无比幸福。

　　1.D　find out“查明”;give up“放弃”;take over“接收”;come across“偶然遇见”。根据上下文可知,came across符合语境。此处是说Fritz Kreisler偶然碰上了一把小提琴,想把它买下来。

　　2.C　根据上下文可知Fritz Kreisler当时没有钱买下那把琴,“最后(finally)”终于凑够了钱才回去买的。

　　3.C　根据上文的“...he wanted to get”以及下文的“try to...him to sell the violin”可知此处应该是说Fritz Kreisler去“买(buy)”那把琴。

　　4.A　根据下文中的“...the collector said it was one of his possessions”可知,此处应选collector。

　　5.B　由上文可知,Fritz Kreisler十分想买那把小提琴,下文中又有收藏家坚持不卖琴的细节,由此可知此处是说Fritz Kreisler试着“说服(persuade)”收藏家把琴卖给他。

　　6.C　Fritz Kreisler希望收藏家能将小提琴卖给他,而收藏者却说那把小提琴是他最宝贵的财产之一,上下句是转折对比关系,所以应选C项。

　　7.B　收藏家没有将小提琴卖给购琴心切的Fritz Kreisler,他应该会感到很失落,所以应选disappointed。

　　8.D　根据上下文内容可知,Fritz Kreisler爱琴却又得不到琴,所以请求在琴被收起来“之前(before)”用那把小提琴最后再演奏一曲。

　　9.A　根据下文中的“the great musician began to play”可知,收藏家同意了他的请求,所以应选Permission。

　　10.C　此处是说Fritz Kreisler用小提琴演奏出美妙的乐音。

　　11.B　根据上文中的“so beautiful that...”以及下文中收藏家将琴送予Fritz Kreisler等细节可知,收藏家被小提琴美妙的乐音和Fritz Kreisler精彩的演奏震惊了,所以此处应该选amazement。

　　12.A　根据下文中的“The violin is yours,Mr Kreisler.”可知,收藏家听完Fritz Kreisler的演奏之后认为他自己没有“权利(right)”继续拥有那把小提琴了,所以把它送给了Fritz Kreisler。

　　13.D　根据上下文内容可知,收藏家希望更多人能“听到(hear)”小提琴美妙的乐音。下文中的“our...is meant to be heard”也是提示。

　　14.B　上一句中说“For you and I are excellent violins”,所以这里应选music。

　　15.C　在下文中,作者谈到人生应该怎样度过才有意义,所以这里应该选life。下文中的“it is found in applying our lives to helping others”以及“My life is meant to be lived”也是提示。

　　16.B　根据上文的lived it fully可知作者希望自己的生活充实一些,宁可终日繁忙也不愿虚度年华。

　　17.D　作者在此处进一步解释了自己的观点,他所说的“充实地生活”并不是要做很多的事情,把自己弄得疲惫不堪。exhaust“使人非常疲倦”。

　　18.A　自愿去为一个慈善机构工作。

　　19.A　根据“Happiness is...But it is found in applying our lives to helping others”可知,作者认为在过度的忙碌中是找不到幸福的,但是如果致力于帮助他人,就会找到幸福。接下来作者举例说明,如向需要帮助之人伸出援助之手,做志愿工作,花时间陪伴寂寞的亲人等。

　　20.C　根据上文的“applying our lives to helping others”可知,此处作者在重申主题——幸福不在于我能做什么或不能做什么,而在于我能给予别人多少。
