第4题：
单选题Which of the following is true according to the passage?AThe drive weighed a full ton.
BThe IBM research center planned to make a music player.
CIts 24 spinning disks could store only 5 megabytes of information.
DThe price for renting the RAMAC was $260,000 a year.
正确答案： A解析：
事实细节的找寻和判断。从录音中提到的“The RAMAC, designed in Big Blue’s San Jose, Calif., research center”，可知RAMAC是在Big Blue’s San Jose, Calif., research center 制造的，而非B项提到的IBM research center。此外，C项中的24 spinning disks与录音中its 50 spinning…disks的内容不符。关于租用该设备的价格，录音中提到“to lease it you’d pay about $250,000 a year in today’s dollars”，而选项D则指出租赁价格为$260,000，显然与录音原文不符。A项的内容在录音中直接出现过。
【录音原文】
On September l3, 1956, IBM shipped the first unit of the RAMAC, in other words, Random Access Method of Accounting and Control. The RAMAC, designed in Big Blue’s San Jose, Calif., research center would have made a lousy music player. The drive weighed a full ton, and to lease it you’d pay about $250, 000 a year in today’s dollars. Since it required a separate air compressor to protect the two moving “heads” that read and wrote information, it was noisy. The total amount of information stored in its 50 spinning iron-oxide-coated disks—each of them a pizza-size 24 inches—was 5 megabytes. -

单选题According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?ASome people with mental illness can become musical masters.
BSome parts of the brain are closely related to music.
CSome people are born with disability of music.
DSome parts of the brain are closely related to disease.
正确答案： C解析：
是非题。第一段最后两句提到有孤独症状的人mentally deficient, yet most are proficient musicians，因此选项A表述正确。该段第二句指出“刺激大脑两边颞叶能唤醒癫痫病人的‘音乐记忆’”。而颞叶的损伤可能导致所谓的musicogenic epilepsy（音乐性癫痫），由此可知大脑中的某些部分（即颞叶）与音乐相关，因此选项B正确。第二段收据提到有1%的人suffer from amusia, or true tone deafness，可知某些人生来就对音乐完全不懂。只有选项D的内容没有提及。 -

单选题According to the passage, all of the following characterize musical drama before Verdi EXCEPT: _____.Amusic used for the purpose of defining a character
Badaptation of music from other operas
Cpsychological inconsistency in the portrayal of characters
Dexpression of emotional states in a series of dramatic situations
正确答案： B解析：
可以将答案定位到文章第三段的第二到第四句。根据这三句的描述，B、C、D三项均是正确的；在Verdi之前，音乐剧中很少存在人物形象，更谈不上音乐对人物的阐释了，A项与文章描述不符，符合题目要求，所以选择A。 -

单选题The speaker calls music and literature “the two temporal arts” because they ______.Aare not lasting
Bare both used in temples
Care both based on antithesis
Ddepend on time pattern
正确答案： B解析：
语义的理解和判断。从题干中the two temporal arts定位到录音中的“Music and literature, the two temporal arts, contrive their pattern of sound in time”，可知想要创造出音乐和文学，就需构思声音在时间上的体现形式。接着录音中对其进行进一步解释，“or, in other words, of sounds and pauses”（或者，换句话说就是声音和其停顿）。由此可知，选项D的内容与之表达内容相符。 -

单选题According to this passage,______.Acrowdfunding means outsourcing to the public jobs typically performed by employees.
Bmore and more people begin to use crowdfunding as a great help to their careers.
CCameesa.com generated $17 million in revenues in 2006.
DCameesa.com helps to connect music lovers with unsigned artists looking to record albums.
正确答案： C解析：
推断题。本题需要结合全文内容来解题。由第三段第一句话crowdsourcing, i.e., outsourcing to the public jobs typically performed by employees可排除A；第三段中提到Threadless. com which generated $17 million in revenues in 2006，不是Cameesa.com generated $17 million in revenues in 2006，排除C；由第三段和第四段可知Cameesa.com网站帮助的是时装设计师，帮助音乐家的是SellaBand.com，D错误；文章开篇提到政治家、慈善机构，然后后文中出现艺术家，可见有越来越多的人开始利用crowdfunding来开展事业，所以本题选B。 -

第13题：
D
When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form. to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
A.regardmusicasawayofentertainment
B.disagreewiththeirparentsoneducation
C.viewmusicasanoverlookedsubject
D.prefertheartstoscience
正确答案：A

B.compare the young reader’s experience with literature to that of the mature reader
C.advocate the adoption of the“life experience” approach to teaching
D.plead for the retention of great literature as a fundamental part of the curriculum答案：D解析：主旨题。文章首段首先提到“life experience”这种方法的狭隘性，使得公立学校课程中的文学作品地位下降。紧接着作者开始论证优秀作品的目的及重要作用，并且在最后一段中提到，需要通过教育来了解优秀作品，克服“经验说”理论。由此可见，本文目的实际上是在呼吁保留文学课程并提高对其的重视，因此D项符合文意。故本题选D。 -
