【答案】第1题:B

第2题:A

第3题:C

第4题:C

第5题:B

【解析】第1题:1.根据第一段的最后一句“Musicisthepleasingcombinationofsoundsthatweliketolistento.”音乐是我们喜欢听的令人愉悦的所有声音。选项B符合原文。

2.根据第二段的五六七句“Therearemanyofuslivingtodaywhohadseenatimewhentherewasnotelevision.Theywilltellusthatlifewasnotthatmuchdifferent.Thesameisprobablytrueofradio.”我们中有许多人曾经历过一段没有电视的日子。他们会告诉我们,生活并没有多大的不同。收音机可能也是如此。所以选项A正确。

3.根据第二段的倒数二三句“However,inthecaseofmusic...thewhistlingofthewind.”我们无法想象一个没有音乐的世界,因为我们无时无刻不被像鸟儿的歌唱和风的呼啸这样悦耳的声音环绕着。也就是说我们的环境中存在着令人愉快的声音。选项C符合原文。

4.根据第三段的最后一句“Itwouldbeadarkandunsatisfyingworld...derivepleasurefrom.”没有知识的传播，没有读书带来的乐趣，这将是一个黑暗并且不令人满意的世界。bleakandcold阴暗寒冷；averysorryworld悲惨的世界；dreadfullyunsatisfying令人极度不满意的；darkanddull黑暗沉闷的。选项C更接近原文。

5.根据第四段的倒数第三句“Whenwelosemusic,anexpressionofadeeppartofourselves-fromthesoul-islost.”当我们失去了音乐，我们也失去了内心深处的一种表达——来自灵魂的表达。选项B符合原文。
