问答题Practice 7 When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people. She had not wanted a little girl at all, and when Mary was born she handed her over to the care of an Ayah, who was made to understand that if she wished to please the Mem Sahib she must keep the child out of sight as much as possible. So when she was a sickly, fretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way, and when she became a sickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way also. She never remembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and the other native servants. And as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way in everything, because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her crying, by the time she was six years old she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived. The young English governess who came to teach her to read and write disliked her so much that she gave up her place in three months, and when other governesses came to try to fill it they always went away in a shorter time than the first one. So if Mary had not chosen to really want to know how to read books she would never have learned her letters at all.正确答案：

当玛丽·劳诺克斯被送到米瑟斯威特庄园,和她舅舅一起生活的时候,每个人都说她是他们见过的长相最令人不舒服孩子。这也对,玛丽有着消瘦的脸蛋、单薄的身体、薄薄的头发和一副不高兴的表情。她的头发是黄色的,由于出生在印度并且总是因为这样或那样的原因而生病,她的脸蛋也显得那么蜡黄。玛丽的父亲在英国政府中有份工作,经常很忙也时不时地生病,她的母亲是个大美人,只关心各种聚会以及和一些男人们寻欢作乐。玛丽的母亲从来没有想过要一个小女孩,当玛丽出生后,她就把她交给奶妈来照顾,奶妈知道,如果她想让女主人高兴的话,她就必须尽可能地把这个孩子带离她的视线。所以,当玛丽还是个多病、爱哭、难看的小婴孩时,她就被带离大人们的视线。当玛丽长成为一个多病、爱哭、蹒跚学步的小孩时,她还是被带离大人们的视线。除了奶妈和其他印度仆人的黑脸,玛丽从没记得见过任何熟悉的东西。因为女主人会被她的哭声打扰到而生气,所以奶妈和仆人们非常顺从玛丽,让她为所欲为。当玛丽长到6岁时,她像一头小猪那样乖戾而自私。来教她阅读和书写的年轻英语家庭女教师非常不喜欢玛丽,三个月后就放弃了这份工作,而后来试图教她的家庭教师也总是干不到第一位那么长的时间就离开了。所以如果不是玛丽自己真的想要读书的话,恐怕她连自己的名字也不会写。解析： 暂无解析 -

第16题：
The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage(孤儿院)knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else-to be independent. At twenty-one，she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then，in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody. Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn't good enough.” she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her. Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places-China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family. The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.

A.T

第21题：
问答题Guitar Today we tell about a very popular musical instrument. Listen and see if you can guess what it is. If you guess it was a guitar, you are correct. The Museum of Fine Arts in the eastern city of Boston, Massachusetts, recently began showing a collection of guitars. The exhibit is called Dangerous Curves: The Art of the Guitar. It shows how the instrument developed during the past four centuries. Probably no other musical instrument is as poplar around the world as guitar. Musicians use the guitar for almost every kind of music. Country and western music would not be the same without a guitar. The traditional Spanish folk music called Flamenco could not exist without a guitar. The second of American blues music would not be the same without the sad cry of the guitar. And rock and roll music would almost be impossible without this instrument. Music exports do not agree about where the guitar first was played. Most agree it is ancient. Some experts say an instrument very much like a guitar was played in Egypt more than a thousand years ago. Some other experts say that the ancestor of the modern guitar was brought to Spain from Persia sometime in the twelfth century. The guitar continued to develop in Spain. In the seventeen hundreds it became similar to the instrument we know today. Many famous musicians played the instrument. The famous Italian violinist Niccolo Paganinni played and wrote music for the guitar in the early eighteen hundreds. Franz Schubert used the guitar to write some of his famous works. In modem times Spanish guitarist Andres Segovia helped make the instrument extremely popular. One kind of music for the guitar developed in the southern area of Spain called Adalusia. It will always be strongly linked with the Spanish guitar. It is called Flamenco. One guitar in the Boston Fine Arts display was played by Les Paul. It is a very old electric guitar. Mister Paul began experimenting with ways to make an electric guitar in the nineteen thirties. The Gibson Guitar Company began producing its famous Les Paul Guitar in 1952. The instrument has the same shape and the same six strings as the traditional guitar, but it sounds very different. Listen to a Les Paul recording. It was the fifth most popular song in the United States in 1952. The guitar has always been important to blues music. The electric guitar Mister Paul helped develop made modem blues music possible: There have been many great blues guitarists. Yet, music experts say all blues guitar players are measured against one man and his famous guitar. That man is B-B King. Every blues fan knows that years ago B-B King named his guitar Lucille. Here B-B King plays Lucille on his famous recording of The Thrill Is Gone B-B King’s guitar, Lucille, is so important to American music that the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC has asked for it. They want to display the large, beautiful black guitar in one of the museums because it is a part of American culture. Another famous guitar in American music also has a name. It belongs to country music star Willie Nelson. His guitar is as famous in country music as Lucille is in blues music. Its name is Trigger. Trigger is really a very ugly guitar. It looks like an old, broken instrument someone threw away. Several famous people have written their names on it. A huge hole was tom in the front of it a long time ago. It looks severely damaged. But the huge hole, the names and other marks seem to add to its sound. Listen while Willie Nelson and Trigger play of, Angel Flying Too Close To the Ground.正确答案： 【参考译文】
吉他 今天我们谈论的是非常流行的一种乐器。听听它的音质你能猜出来是什么乐器吗?
如果你猜是一把吉他,那你就猜对了。坐落在马萨诸塞州的波士顿东部的美术馆近期进行了一次吉他展览。这次展览被称为“危险的曲线:吉他的艺术”。它向人们展示了在过去的四百年来吉他的发展史。
或许在整个世界上还没有别的乐器像吉他这样深受大家喜爱。音乐家几乎可以用吉他弹奏所有的音乐。没有吉他,乡村音乐和西洋音乐将大不一样。没有吉他,被称为弗拉门科的西班牙传统民谣将不复存在。没有吉他的悲泣声,美国的第二布鲁斯音乐也失去了原有的风格。没有吉他,也就没有摇滚音乐。
音乐家至今对吉他最早演奏的地方还各持己见。绝大多数人认为是在远古时代。一些专家认为早在一千多年前一种非常类似于吉他的乐器曾在埃及弹奏。另外有一些专家认为现代吉他的远祖是在12世纪的某个时期从波斯传入了西班牙。吉他在西班牙继续发展。到了l8世纪它就接近了现今的吉他。
很多知名的音乐家弹奏吉他。在19世纪早期,意大利著名的小提琴家尼珂洛·帕加尼尼就弹奏过吉他并为吉他谱曲。费朗茨·舒伯特曾经用吉他谱写过他的一些著名的乐章。
现代西班牙吉他弹奏家安卓斯·斯高维亚使这种乐器格外地受人欢迎。在西班牙南部爱达露西雅地区发展起来了一种吉他音乐,它与西班牙的吉他紧密相连,被称为弗拉门科民歌。
在波士顿的艺术博览馆有一把曾经被雷斯·保罗弹奏过的吉他。这是一把很古老的电子吉他。保罗先生在20世纪30年代就开始采用各种方法研制电吉他。吉普森公司在1952年开始生产它著名的雷斯·保罗牌吉他。这种吉他和传统的吉他有着相同的形状,同样也是六根弦,但声音却截然不同。让我们听一听雷斯·保罗的唱片,在1952年它名列美国最畅销排行榜的第五名。
吉他对爵士乐一直都很重要。保罗先生的电子吉他使现代爵士音乐的发展成为了可能。同时也产生了很多伟大的爵士乐吉他演奏家。但是音乐家却认为所有的爵士乐的演奏家都是由一个人以及他著名的吉他来衡量的。这个人就是B—B金。所有爵士乐的歌迷都知道数年前 B—B金把他的吉他命名为露西蕾。B-B金用他的露西蕾演奏了他著名的唱片《颤栗消散》。 B—B金的露西蕾对美国音乐非常重要,以至于华盛顿的史密森学会想收藏它。他们想把这把体积大且美观的黑色吉他展列在一家博物馆里,因为这把吉他是美国文化的一部分。
另一把在美国音乐史上占据一席之位的吉他也有名字。它属于乡村音乐歌星威利·纳尔逊。在乡村音乐中纳尔逊的吉他和爵士音乐中的露西蕾吉他享有一样的盛名。这把吉他的名字叫“扳机”。“扳机”实在是一把很丑的吉他。它看上去像一把被人扔掉的、破旧不堪的乐器。好几位名人都在上面签上了自己的名字。很早以前它的前部就被戳了一个大洞。损伤十分严重。而就是这个洞、那些签名以及其他的标记似乎为它增色不少。听纳尔逊和“扳机”演奏的《飞翔的天使离地面太近》。解析： 暂无解析 -
