  • 第6题:

    Like every language,American English is full of special expressions,phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way.Our expression today is“to face the music”.
    When someone says,“well,I guess I’ll have to face the music,”it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert.It is something far less pleasant,like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that,and why you didn’t do this or that.Sour music indeed,but it has to be faced At sometime or another,every one of us has had to face the music,especially as children.We can all remember father’s angry voice,“I want to talk to you.”and only because we did not obey him.What an unpleasant business it was!
    The phrase“to face the music”is familiar to every American,young and old,It is at least 100 years old
    .And where did this expression come from?The first explanation comes from the American novelist,James Fenimore Looper.He said,in 1851,that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage.When they got their cue to go on,they often said,“Well,it’s time to face the music.”And that was exactly what they did—facing the orchestra which was just below them.And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps?hostile,especially if he forgot his lines.But he had to go out.If he did not,there would be no play.So the expression“to face the music”come to mean“having to go through something,no matter how unpleasant the experience might be,because you knew you had no choice.”
    Other explanations about the expression go back to the army.When the men faced an inspection by their leader,the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked
    .Was their equipment clean,shinny enough to pass the inspection?Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection.What else could they do?
    Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done.As,for example when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible,he is dishonored
    .The band does not play.Only the drums tap a sad,slow beat.The soldier is forced to leave,facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.

    The underlined word“hostile”means_______.

    第二篇

    Lawrence Curry

    When I tell people my name,they always ask me if I'm related to Lawrence Curry,the novelist,and when I say,yes,he was my great-uncle,they always want to know what he was like. "We've read all his books,"they say,"but please tell us what he was really like."When I described him,as I knew him,they go disappointed.It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.
    My great-uncle was tall,with a long thin body.When he walked,he moved stiffly,with his arms clamped against his sides,looking like nothing so much as a pair of scissors.When I knew him,his hair as quite white,though it was supposed to have been yellow when he was young. His eyes were blue and deep set and had an anxious look about them as if he found the world a puzzling place.This expression of anxiety,which arose from nothing more than short-sight一he refused to wear glasses一inspire the protective instincts of his lady admirers,much to the irritation my great-aunt who thought all women were fools,except herself.
    Great-uncle Curry was naturally lazy. He spent a great deal of his time in the village pub playing darts.He was also a compulsive reader from the local telephone directory to great-aunt's shopping lists.For a man whose book showed such a deep perception of the complexities of human behavior, his conversation was surprisingly trivial.He delighted in discussing English weather,the price of beer,his grandchildren's most amusing words.
    He loved gossip,but he was kind.I never heard him make a malicious remark,but the wisdom of his writing never appeared in his conversation.As a child,we much preferred the company of his cousin,Stanly,who was a successful shop-owner who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits.Taking it all in all,I have to admit my famous great-uncle was rather a bore.

    Which statement is NOT true,according to the third and fourth paragraph?
    A:Lawrence was lazy.
    B:Lawrence was boring.
    C:Lawrence tended to read anything he could find.
    D:Lawrence was a humorous man but seldom showed it in his remark.

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据文章第一段最后一句:" It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.”由此可以判断人们失望是因为他们很难接受这样一个伟大的人物居然是这样一个普通人,所以选B。
    第二段第五句提到:" This expression of anxiety , which arose from nothing more than short-sight",他焦虑的神情来自于他的近视,所以选C“他视力不好”。 arise在文中的意思是“起因于······,由······产生”。
    第二段第五句提到:" This expression of anxiety...inspire the protective in-stincts of his lady admirers" , inspire意为“激发”' protective instinct意为“保护的本能”。所以选 B,即让他的女性崇拜者想要保护他。
    文章的后两段指出了劳伦斯是一个天生懒惰、无聊的人,有强迫阅读症,只有D“劳伦斯是一个幽默的人”这点在全文都没有提及,所以选D。
    文章的最后一段提到:" Stanly , who...who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits",小孩子更喜欢叔祖父的表兄是因为他总带给他们糖和饼干,都是孩子爱吃的东西,所以B正确。

    To face the music
    Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is "to face the music".
    When someone says, "well, I guess I’ll have to face the music," it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father’s angry voice, "I want to talk to you." and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!
    The phrase "to face the music" is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue to go on, they often said, "Well, it’s time to face the music." And that was exactly what they did-facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression "to face the music "come to mean "having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice."
    Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass the inspection Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection. What else could they do
    Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. As, for example when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.Which of the following is a situation of facing the music

    • A、When we are playing basketball.
    • B、When we are making a speech.
    • C、When we are having a party.
    • D、When we are talking with somebody.

    正确答案:B

  • 第21题:

    单选题
    “Mozart’s can” underlined in Paragraph 2 refers to.
    A

    his human feelings can be understood

    B

    Mozart’s music can be analyzed carefully

    C

    his harmonies, rhythms, etc. can be separated from one another

    D

    his musical language can be separated from his personality


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    推断题。第一段指出作曲家的语言都很难从精神和敏感性中分离出来,但同时提到“except by pedantic analysis…of the artist who happens to be expressing himself through them”。第二段第一句指出“但这恰好是问题所在;就我所知,莫扎特就能”,由此可知此处指莫扎特能将他的音乐语言同自己的性格分隔开来,故选项D为正确答案。

  • 第22题:

    单选题
    The “Mozart problem”, as defined by the author, is that.
    A

    it is difficult to understand Mozart’s letters and his music

    B

    there is little connection between his personality and his music

    C

    Mozart gave us nothing of a clue about his music in his letters

    D

    his music is quite different from that of Beethoven or Wagner


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    推断题。第四段第一句提到了Mozart Problem,指出“这就是我所说的因此Mozart Problem…”,可知Mozart Problem应在前文提及。第三段第一句提到“你无法明白驱动他的动力是什么,也无法理解从他体内呼之而出的乐曲”。接下来一句指出“at any rate useless, to seek for internal ones either”,可知人们难以从莫扎特的作品中寻求其动力,也无法将他的作品和他的性格联系起来。因此选B。
