B.Open-minded.C.Impatient. D.Considerate.答案A解析词句猜测题。根据上文“ridiculousand”可知,supercilious和ridiculous并列,为贬义词,以及下文“Atfirstsight,hisideaseemsstuffyandextreme.Bysuggestingthatclassicalmusicshouldbe‘treatedwithrespect’andnotusedasbackgroundmusic,Pullmanseemstobeclosingclassicalmusictomillionsofpeople.”可知,Pullman认为需要尊重古典音乐,所以推知Pullman认为将古典音乐作为背景音乐是荒谬和傲慢的,supercilious为“傲慢”之意,和A项“妄自尊大的”意思相近。7.WhyistheBenjaminBritten’s1964speechmentioned?A.Toshowhisaffectionforclassicalmusic.B.Tointroduceyoungpeopletoclassicalmusic.C.Todemonstrateclassicalmusicisdemanding.D.TosupportPullman’sideaoverclassicalmusic.答案D解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,作者提到了本杰明·布里顿1964年的演讲,是为了支持Pullman对古典音乐的看法。8.Whichwordbestdescribestheauthor’sattitudetoPullman’sidea?A.Favorable.
