根据设空后的Heandafrienddecidedtohostamusicalconcert...可知，他和朋友决定举办一场音乐会以筹集学费，这是他的想法(idea)。故选C项。2．B 根据上文中的Notknowingwheretoturnformoney可知，由于学费不够，他和朋友决定举办音乐会来筹集学费。receive意为“收到”；raise意为“筹集”；borrow意为“借”；donate意为“捐献”。故选B项。3．A reachoutto意为“表示对……感兴趣；表示愿意提供援助”；turnout意为“证明是；结果是”；pointout意为“指出”；callout意为“大声呼叫；呼喊”。根据第二段可知，他们开音乐会要邀请著名的钢琴家，说明他们对这位钢琴家有兴趣。故选A项。8\n测训诊断：本题考生易误选B项。考生易把turnto“求助于”和turnoutto“证明是；结果是”以及reachoutto“表示对……感兴趣”混淆。4．D 根据设空后的aguaranteedfee可知，钢琴家的经纪人要求(demanded)他们付2,000美元的保证金。故选D项。increase意为“增加”；cover意为“覆盖；遮蔽；包括；报道”；consider意为“考虑；细想；认为”。5．B 根据设空后的begantowork可知，他们之间达成了协议。strikeadeal意为“达成协议”；reject意为“拒绝”；cancel意为“取消”；attract意为“吸引”。故选B项。6．A 他们达成了协议，并且为了音乐会的成功举办，他们开始积极筹备。故选A项。success意为“成功的事”，career意为“职业；事业”；background意为“背景；出身”；performance意为“表演；演出；表现”。7．C 根据前文可知他们达成了协议，再根据设空后的hadnotmanagedtosellenoughtickets可知，他们并没有卖出足够的票，这对他们来说是不幸的。故选C项。8．C 根据设空后的$1,600以及下文的$400可知，此处指他们总的筹款为1,600美元。cost意为“花费；成本；代价”；bill意为“账单”；collection意为“筹集的钱；收藏品”；allowance意为“津贴；补贴”。9．D 根据下文的Theypromisedtohonorthecheckatthe________possible.可知，因为他们并没有筹到足够的钱，所以又写了400美元的支票作为欠款。故选D项。10．A 他们承诺尽快(soonest)承兑支票，故选A项。11．D 根据空前的Paderewskitoreupthecheck及空后的toldthetwoboystokeepthemoneytheyneededforthefees可知，钢琴家撕毁了支票，并且还把1,600美元还给了(returned)他们让他们当做学费。故选D项。12．B 根据上文可知，他们本来是承诺了要给钢琴家2,000美元，但却没有筹够钱，而钢琴家又把钱还给了他们，因此，他们非常惊讶(surprised)而且非常感激。故选B项。pleased意为“高兴的；快乐的；满意的”；frightened意为“害怕的”；interested意为“感兴趣的”。13．B 根据上文可知，钢琴家没有要保证金，而且把钱给了两个大学生充当学费，因此这是一个善举。devotion意为“献身；贡献”；kindness意为“善良”；sympathy意为“同情”；teamwork意为“团队合作”。故选B项。14．C 钢琴家的善举使得他更显人的伟大之处。mark...outas意为“使……看上去脱颖而出成为……”，符合语境。故选C项。15．D 根据下文可知，每个人都遇到过帮与不帮别人的问题，由此可推测，本句应是探讨帮助别人的原因。故选D项。16．A 根据下文And________ofusonlythink“IfIhelpthem,whatwillhappen8\ntome？”可知，我们都曾遇到过类似的情况。comeacross意为“偶遇；邂逅”，符合语境。故选A项。dealwith意为“处理；处置”；adaptto意为“适应”；thinkof意为“想起；想到”。17．D 根据语境可知，此处应指我们大多数，故选D项。18．C 根据上句可知，大多数人是在想帮助别人对自己的影响，而伟大的人却想如果不帮助别人对他人有什么影响。great意为“伟大的”，符合语境。故选C项。19．B 根据上文的“IfIdon'thelpthem,whatwillhappentothem？”可知，他们是在考虑别人，不求(expecting)回报。故选B项。20．A 根据最后一段可知，伟大的人不求回报地去帮助别人，他们之所以这么做，是因为他们感觉这是正确的事情。因此，设空处表原因，引导原因状语从句。故选A项。四、单句改错1．Thehousestandsattheplacethatthetworoadsmeet.______________________________________________________答案：that→where
