文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了甲壳虫乐队的发展与兴盛以及他们对

英美摇滚乐的影响。

解析：

1.空格后面的“Atthattime”决定了该空一定要出现具体的时间，F项虽然有

时间，但是是电影的时间，文章没有提及电影，故排除。答案从A项与C项中

选择。再根据文章一开始出现的“Rockmusic”可知C项为正确答案。故选C。

2.由空格前一句"Bymid-1963,theBeatleshadbeenextremelypopularin

England."可知，甲壳虫乐队在当时的英国相当受欢迎。接下来具体介绍：就连

他们的发型都成了当时的流行趋势。故选B。

3.前面提到甲壳虫乐队在英国特别受欢迎。空后“Theywerenotsurehowthe

Americanswouldreacttothenewtypeofmusic.”意思是“他们不确定美国人对这

种新型的音乐会有什么反应。"。因此，A项“他们决定在1964年开始他们的

美国之旅。”符合语境。G项是发生了的事情，用在此处在时间上不合适。故选

Ao

4.空后的“Theconcertwasbroadcastliveandattractedthelargestonenight

audienceinthehistoryoftelevisionuptothattime.”与G项中的concert相呼应。故

选G。

5.空前uThankstotheBeatles,alotofopportunitieswereopeneduptonew

facesonthemarket.”中的newfaces与E项中的follow相呼应。故选E。

习弹奏钢琴并成功演奏乐曲的故事。

1.A.strangeB.low

2.A.challengedB.breathed

C.encouragedD.inspired

生中有的在音乐学习方面有困难，即此处描写的musicallychallenged。故选A。

课。故选C。

C.determinationD.memory

解析：解析见上题。故选C。

12.A.limitedB.satisfied

文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。介绍了人们对“人类写的诗歌与电脑写的诗

歌是否具有相同的意义”这个问题的不同看法。

解析：

1.考查动词的时态。分析句子可知，本句为what引导的宾语从句，主语

为thepoets,谓语动词为think。根据下文中whattheyweredoing可知本句为过

去进行时。故填werethinking。

2.考查代词。分析句子可知，从句中主语为we,根据句意“就好像我们自

己创作了这首诗一样“可知用相应的反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves。

3.考查非谓语动词。bydoingsth.“通过做某事”，为固定用法。故填using。

4.考查连词。句意：电脑生成的诗歌可能在语法和风格上都是正确的，但

有些人说它们仍然缺乏创造性和真正的意义。分析句子可知，空格处缺少连词，

而前后语意表示转折。故填连词but/yet。

5.考查名词。lack为及物动词，后可直接接名词creativity/creativeness作

宾语。也可将空处看作形容词，与true并列修饰meaning,故填其形容词形式。

故填creativity/creativeness/creative。

6.考查非谓语动词。句意：澳大利亚研究员OscarSchwartz创建了一个名

为“botornot”的网站。分析句子可知，awebsite与call是被动关系。所以用过去

分词called构成的短语作定语修饰website。故填called。

7.考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子可知，本句为whether引导的宾语从

句，主语they和谓语动词write之间为被动关系，时态为一般过去时或一般现在

时，故用一般过去时或一般现在时的被动语态。故填werewritten/arewritten。

8.考查定语从句。分析句子可知，speech为先行词，在非限制性定语从句

中介词in后要用关系代词作其宾语，所以定语从句
