B．calculatedC．toldD．imagined答案：B 从语意的连贯判断选B。故事发生在一月份的一个寒冷的早晨，因为是上班的高峰期，因此在地铁站进出的人估计有数千人，大部分都是赶着去上班的人。这里用calculate表示“估计，估算”。2．A.putoffB．setasideC．broughtforwardD．wentby答案：D 这个人在华盛顿的地铁站拉小提琴，演奏巴赫的作品，三分钟过去了，此时有个中年人注意到他的演奏。用goby表示“(时间)流逝”；putoff“推迟”；setaside“省出，留出”；bringforward“提议；将……提前”。3．A.paceB．wayC．distanceD．route答案：A 他放慢脚步。这里用pace表示“(一)步，速度，节奏”。4．A.standardB．procedureC．scheduleD．expectation答案：C 从叙述看，这个人停下脚步片刻就又匆匆离开赶时间去了，选C项，表“时刻表，日程安排”；standard“标准”；procedure“程序，步骤”；expectation“期待”；都不符合语境。5．A.leanedB．bentC．crashedD．pressed答案：A 有个人靠在墙上听他演奏。用leanagainst表示“靠，倚靠”；bend“弯曲，屈身”；crash“碰撞”；press“按，压”。6．A.seizedB．followedC．carriedD．fetched答案：B 下文说这个孩子的母亲狠推了他一把(pushedhard)，可见妈妈跟在孩子后面，因此选B，表示“跟随，跟从”。7．A.neverthelessB．thereforeC．thusD．besides答案：A 从语意的连贯判断选A，用表示转折关系的副词nevertheless“可是，然而”，即孩子的母亲推着孩子继续赶路，可是孩子却不断地回头看这个音乐家演奏。8．A.turningB．circlingC．shakingD．nodding10\n答案：A 参见上题的解析。四个选项的主要含义：turn“转动，扭转”；circle“环绕，盘旋”；shake“摇动，抖动”；nod“点头”；语境说“孩子继续走”，可见这个孩子走远了，还在回头张望。9．A.suspicionB．questionC．exceptionD．discrimination答案：C 其他好几个孩子都和他一样，边走边回头张望，而那些孩子的父母们无一例外地(withoutexception)推着孩子赶路。10．A.awardedB．contributedC．donatedD．collected答案：D 这里讲述音乐家在演奏的时候赚到32美元，用collect表示“获得，收到”；award“奖励”；contribute“捐助”；donate“捐赠”，都不符合语境。11．A.settleddownB．cameoutC．wentaboutD．tookover答案：D 从语意的连贯看，他停止了演奏，于是周围一片寂静，用takeover表示“接手，接管”；安静代替了先前的音乐。settledown“定居下来”；comeout“出现；开花”；goabout“开始做”。12．A.recognitionB．senseC．advantageD．significance答案：A 他的音乐演奏完毕，周围恢复寂静，然而并没有人注意到；既没人鼓掌喝彩，也没有人赞美。这里用recognition表示“表扬，表彰”。sense“感官”；advantage“优点，有利条件”；significance“意义；重要性”。13．A.assignedB．performedC．behavedD．showed答案：B 从所给四个动词的主要含义和语境看，本空选B。就在他在这个地铁站演奏的前两天，贝尔在波士顿一家歌剧院演出，座位票的平均售价是1000美元！四个动词的主要含义：assign“委派”；perform“表演，演出”；behave“表现”；show“展出”。14．A.representedB．developedC．introducedD．organized答案：D 他在华盛顿地铁站演奏是《华盛顿邮报》一手策划的。这里用organize表示“组织”。15．A.approachB．accessC．awarenessD．arrangement答案：10\nC 联系上下文可知，此处意为测试一下人们的意识和品味。四个名词中，只有C项“意识”符合语境。approach“接近，临近”；access“通道，入口”；awareness“意识”。16．A.dotsB．marksC．pointsD．stains答案：C 结合选项的含义判断选C，point表示要求证的“论点”。这个社会调查要探究的问题是：在普通公共场合不合适的时间里，我们是否能意识到美呢？17．A.importantB．preciousC．inappropriateD．convenient答案：C 从前面的叙述看，音乐家贝尔是在大清早人们赶着上班的时候在地铁站里演奏音乐的，可谓时间和地点都不适宜。18．A.appreciateB．criticizeC．envyD．celebrate答案：A 我们是否会停下匆匆的脚步来欣赏这样的美呢？用appreciate表示“欣赏”。19．A.coursesB．conclusionsC．circumstancesD．conditions答案：B 从下文的叙述可知，作者在此下结论了，因此选B表示“结论”。course“课程，讲座”；circumstance“环境”；condition“条件”。20．A.listeningB．missingC．escapingD．avoiding答案：B 从语境判断B，表示“错过”：假如我们没有时间停下来聆听世界上最优秀的音乐家演奏世界上最优美的旋律，那么还有多少美好的东西从我们身边溜走呢？Ⅳ.阅读理解LouisArmstronghadtwofamousnicknames(绰号).SomepeoplecalledhimBagamo.Theysaidhismouthlookedlikealargebag.MusiciansoftencalledhimPops,asasignofrespectforhisinfluence(影响)ontheworldofmusic.Bornin1901inNewOrleans,hegrewuppoor,butlivedamonggreatmusicians.Jazzwasinventedinthecityafewyearsbeforehisbirth.Armstrongoftensaid,“JazzandIgrewuptogether.”Armstrongshowedagreattalent(天赋)formusicwhenhewastaughttoplaythecornetataboy'shome.Inhislateteens,Armstrongbegantolivethelifeofamusician.Heplayedinparades,clubs,andonthesteamboatsthattravelledontheMissisippiRiver.Atthattime,NewOrleanswasfamousforthenewmusicofjazzandwashometomanygreatmusicians.Armstronglearnedfromtheoldermusiciansandsoonbecamerespectedastheirequal.In1922hewenttoChicago.There,thetaleofLouisArmstrongbegan.Fromthen10\nuntiltheendofhislife,Armstrongwascelebratedandlovedwhereverhewent.ArmstronghadnoequalwhenitcametoplayingtheAmericanpopularsong.Hiscornetplayinghadadeephumanityandwarmththatcausedmanylistenerstosay,“ListeningtoPopsjustmakesyoufeelgoodallover.”Hewasthefatherofthejazzstyle(风格)andalsooneofthebestknownandmostadmiredpeopleintheworld.Hisdeath,onJuly6,1971,washeadlinenewsaroundtheworld.本文介绍的是爵士乐之父路易斯·阿姆斯特朗的成长历程。1．ArmstrongwascalledPopsbecausehe________.A．lookedlikeamusicianB．wasamusicianofmuchinfluenceC．showedaninterestinmusicD．travelledtoplaymodernmusic答案：B
