参考答案和解析
正确答案: D
解析:
词义辨析。“barren”出现在第一段最后一句,修饰rocky areas(多岩石地区),可以推测多岩石地区应该是荒芜的,缺少植被的。因此该词应该和lifeless(无生物的)表达意思相符。

    正确答案:A

    本题考查词意理解。“phonograph”一词出现在第一段第五句,该句指出,“‘phonograph’被发明以前,我们听不到任何音乐表演的声音,只能通过乐器研究过去的音乐文化”。由此可知,该词指的是一种能够记录声音并被用于音乐文化研究的物质。[A]为正确答案。[B]虽然也有声音,但无法用于音乐研究。此外,也可以通过词根词缀法猜测词意。phono-相当于sound,表示“声音”;-graph表示“书写、描绘或记录的器具,机械”。“记录声音的机器”就是“录音机”。
