【答案】第1题:C

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】第1题:推理判断题。题干意思是“研究一个国家的物质文化是非常重要的，因为……”。本文主要讲述的是通过音乐物质文化来探究音乐文化的发展；结合第一段第五句提到werelyoninstrumentsforimportantinformationaboutmusic-culturesintheremotepastandtheirdevelopment.（我们依靠乐器来获取有关远古音乐文化及其发展的重要信息），可推断，通过研究一个国家物质文化可以探究这个国家的发展，即它的过去和现在，故C项“它有助于了解这个国家的过去和现在”正确。A项“它有助于产生新的文化工具和技术”和D项“它可以展示这个民族的文明”与文章无关；B项“它能反映国家的发展”太过于笼统。故该题选择C项正确。

第2题:细节事实题。题干意思是“从这篇文章中可以了解到……”。第一段最后一句话提到wecanexplorethemovementofmusicfromtheNearEasttoChinaoverathousandyearsago,orwecanoutlinethespreadofNearEasterninfluencetoEuropethatresultedinthedevelopmentofmostoftheinstrumentsonthesymphonyorchestra.（我们可以追溯一千多年前近东音乐传入中国的历史，也可以勾勒出近东音乐的影响波及欧洲并导致交响乐的大部分乐器发展的大致轮廓），由此可知近东音乐对交响乐团乐器的发展产生了影响，故B项“近东音乐对交响乐团乐器的发展产生了影响”正确。A项“交响乐的存在是由于近东和中国音乐的传播”和C项“交响乐的发展是东西方音乐相互影响的结果”表述与原文不符；D项“交响乐团的乐器是在近东音乐的基础上发展起来的”，文章讲述的是交响乐团的乐器是在近东音乐的影响波及欧洲之后发展的，并不代表就是在近东音乐的基础上发展起来，也有可能有欧洲的影响。D项不正确。故该题选择B项正确。

第3题:细节事实题。题干意思是“根据作者，音乐记谱法之所以重要是因为……”。根据第二段最后一句Besides,theabilitytoreadmusicnotation(乐谱)hasafar-reachingeffectonmusiciansand,whenitbecomeswidespread,onthemusic-cultureaswhole.（此外，阅读乐谱的能力对音乐家有着深远的影响，当它变得普遍时，也会对整个音乐文化产生深远的影响）可知，音乐记谱法之所以重要是因为当人们能够读懂它的时候，它会对整个音乐文化产生深远的影响，故A项“当越来越多的人能够读懂它，它对音乐文化有很大的影响”正确。B项“当它被民间音乐家使用时，它倾向于使民歌标准化”，第二段第二句提到butresearchshowsmutualinfluenceamongoralandwrittensourcesduringthepastfewcenturiesinEurope,Britain,andAmerica,printedversionslimitvarietybecausetheytendtostandardizeanysong（但研究表明，在过去的几个世纪里，在欧洲、英国和美国，口述和书面来源相互影响，印刷版本限制了多样性，因为它们倾向于将任何歌曲标准化）可知，是印刷版倾向于将任何歌曲标准化，B项错误；C项“它是标准化的民间音乐的印刷版本”和D项“它鼓励人们普及歌曲的印刷版本”没有提到。故该题选择A项正确。

第4题:推理判断题。题干意思是“从文章中可以得出结论，电子媒体进入音乐世界……”。最后一段提到Onemoreimportantpartformusic’smaterialcultureshouldbesingledout:theinfluenceoftheelectronicmedia—radio,recordplayer,taperecorder,television,andvideocassette,withthefuturepromisingtalkingandsingingcomputersandotherdevelopments.（音乐物质文化的一个更重要的部分应该被挑出来：电子媒体的影响——收音机、录音机、磁带录音机、电视和录像带，以及未来有希望的会说话和唱歌的电脑和其他发展），结合文章内容可知，电子媒体被引入到音乐文化中，它是音乐的载体，那么可以推断电子媒体的多元化意味着更多的音乐形式，故C项“已经产生了新的音乐文化形式”符合题意。A项“已经带来了一场信息革命”，文章只提到电子媒体是信息革命的一部分，没有提到是电子媒体带来了信息革命，偷换概念；B项“加快了新一代计算机的到来”表述不符合原文；D项“导致了传统乐器的转变”文中没有提到。故该题选择C项正确。

第5题:主旨大意题。题干意思是“下面哪一个最好地总结了文章的主要思想？”。本文主要讲述的是音乐物质文化展现的音乐发展历程，即乐器作为物质对音乐的发展；而且文章第一段也讲到Examiningaculture’stoolsandtechnologycantellusaboutthegroup’shistoryandwaysoflife.Similarly,researchintothematerialcultureofmusiccanhelpustounderstandthemusic-culture.Themostvividbodyof“things”init,ofcourse,ismusicalinstrument.（研究一种文化的工具和技术可以告诉我们这个群体的历史和生活方式；同样，研究音乐的物质文化可以帮助我们理解音乐文化；当然，其中最生动的“物”是乐器），所以文章的主要思想是音乐文化的发展依赖于它的物质方面，D项“音乐文化的发展高度依赖于其物质方面”符合题意。A项“多年来发展起来的乐器迟早会被电脑取代”，文章没有这样的表述；B项“音乐不能传给未来的一代，除非它被记录下来”和C项“民歌不能传播很远，除非它们被打印在乐谱上”都是部分提及，太片面。故该题选择D项正确。

5.单选题

Ingeneral,theamountthatastudentspendsforhousingshouldbeheldtoone-fifthofthetotal（）forlivingexpenses.

问题1选项

A.acceptable

B.applicable

C.advisable

D.available

【答案】D

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项acceptable“可接受的”；B选项applicable“可适用的，合适的”；C选项advisable“明智的”；D选项available“可获得的”。句意：一般来说，学生可用于住房的钱应该占全部生活费的五分之一。availablefor意为“可用于……的”，所以选项D正确。

6.单选题

The（）ofmodembridgeismadeofconcreteorsteelandcoveredwithsomethingelse.

问题1选项

A.arch

B.platform

C.skeleton

D.coating

【答案】A

【解析】arch拱形,拱门；platform平台,月台；skeleton骨架,骨骼；coating涂层,包衣。句意：现代桥梁的拱是由混凝土或钢制成的,上面覆盖着其他的材料。选项A符合句意。

7.单选题

Schoolchildrenoughttobe（）totheirparentsandteachers.

问题1选项

A.alien

B.transient

C.obedient

D.current

【答案】C

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项alien“外国的；相异的”；B选项transient“短暂的；路过的”；C选项obedient“服从的；孝顺的”；D选项current“现在的；最近的”。句意：学龄儿童应该……父母和老师。句中主语是Schoolchildren，由关键信息totheirparentsandteachers“对其父母和老师”要服从。因此C选项符合题意。

8.填空题

ShortlyafterWorldWarII,Americanartbegantogamerworldwideattentionand________.Thischangewasduetotheinnovativefervorofabstractexpressionisminthe1950s.(admire)

【答案】admiration

【解析】【考查点】名词。

【解题思路】根据关键词and，可知attention和横线所在内容为并列结构，应该和attention一样为名词，admiration“赞赏”符合语境，指的是美国艺术引起全世界的赞赏。

【句意】第二次世界大战后不久，美国艺术开始引起全世界的注意和赞赏。这种变化源于20世纪50年代抽象表现主义的创新热情。

9.单选题

Someeconomistsfretthatsharepricesaremovingfar______companiesearnings,toadegreescantyreminiscentofJapaninthelate1980sjustbeforeitscrash.

问题1选项

A.aheadof

B.backof

C.independentof

D.abreastof

【答案】A

【解析】考查词组辨析。aheadof“在……之前”；backof“在……后面”；independentof“不受……支配的”；abreastof“保持与……并列”。句意：一些经济学家担心，股价……公司盈利，这在一定程度上让人想起上世纪80年代末日本股市崩盘前的情景。可知前半句应表示“股票价格超过了公司盈利”。因此A选项符合题意。

2.细节事实题。第五段指出:ItwasrareforMothers-to-betodieorbemurderedsoonbeforetheywereduetogivebirth,saysthehistorian,Peoplefrompoorhouseswhodiedwereusuallyold,unwellorchildren(这位历史学家说，母亲在临产前不久死亡或被谋杀是很罕见的，来自贫民区的人通常都是老人、不舒服或孩子)。故选A。

3.推理判断题。文章多出提到Shelton’s的理论来源。第二段提到JOURNALOFTHERoyalSocietyofMedicine(皇家医学会杂志),后面又提到medicalliterature(医学文献)。故选D:18世纪伦敦大量暴力和犯罪的文学报道。

4.词义题。此处句意为:在一个很多人都“消失”了的城市里，来自农村的年轻妇女显然是最受欢迎的目标。

5.推理判断题。第七段:Theideathattheycouldhavebeeninvolvedinthemurderofsubjectsisabsolutelystaggering(他们可能参与了谋杀目标的说法绝对令人震惊),后面也表达了他们难以置信的态度。故选B。
