My brother leaned over and shouted something in my ear, but I couldn’t 45  what he was saying. The first song was already starting and the music was as 46  as a jet engine. I could 47  the drum beats and bass notes in my stomach.

    After the 53  , I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds of music. Once in a while, 54 , I listen to one of their songs and 55  I’m back at that first show.

    试题分析：本文是记叙文，讲述了作者在八岁时第一次听现场摇滚音乐会的经历和感受，以及后来也成为那个Black Wednesday乐队的粉丝，也因此喜欢和走入其他的音乐，但是再听这个乐队的乐曲时又会回忆起那个演唱会的情境。
    小题1: B 根据意思：“我的哥哥和他的朋友们都是这个乐队的______”。根据下文53空格后面的内容说：“我也成为了BW乐队的粉丝”所以这个空格选择B“粉丝”。
    小题2: C 空格后的that 从句指代“BW乐队将要在当地剧院演出”这件事。所以排除A“猜”D“预测”，而乐队要来演奏是一件客观发生的事情，所以排除“想”因为“想”的宾语一般都是主观的想法，所以答案是C。
    小题3:D 根据他们得知BW要来开演唱会，，与之相关的动词是bought，去“买”的一定是“票”，所以答案是D。
    小题4:A 本句意思为：“他的一个朋友无法前往，所以我的哥哥把票______我”。可以排除A“预订”D“找到”。比较容易误选C“返回”注意return这个词指的是“去-回”这个过程，return me the ticket的含义是：原先这张票就是我的，哥哥拿走给朋友了，然后又还给我。这显然是不对的，所以答案是B“主动给予”。
    小题5: B 我要去看演唱会的我很“兴奋”，所以答案是B。
    小题6:A 句中动词是found和形容词是our很重要，该句意思应为：“我还记得我们找到我们的______的时候，剧场里全是兴奋的嘈杂的声音”。要注意形容词“我们的”，排除“入口”“地点”“空间”，这些都是大家的，所以答案是A“座位”。我们买了票，当然要找到我们的座位。
    小题7:D 语境是：“灯熄灭了，大家都变得______”所以排除“舒服”，“严肃”“紧张”，所以答案是D“安静”。
    小题8:B关键在于make out 的理解，这个动作的宾语是stage，舞台，灯全黑了，作者应该是“分辨不出”舞台是什么样子的，所以make out 可以理解为分辨出。所以，作者应该处于“黑暗中”，答案是B
    小题9: C 句子的主语是member band stage，所以这里的结构应为：“乐队成员_____舞台”，所以答案是C“走上”。
    小题10: D 哥哥在我耳边喊了一些什么，但是我不能“听见”应该是最合理的，所以答案是D。
    小题11: A 在as……as的结构中，表示和……一样，所以与之相关的名词是music 和jet engine，表示音乐和喷气式飞机的引擎之间的共同点，这种共同点点一定是“响”，所以答案是A。注意引擎是不会具备“快”特点的。用“快”来形容的应该是喷气式飞机。
    小题12:C 该句意思应为：“我客观上有能力______鼓声和贝斯音符在我的肚子里”。所以排除B“触摸”D“消化”。比价容易误选C“享受”，这个词的排除比价有难度。首先，享受这个动作是主观上的，而句子末尾的in my stomach显然是一个客观上的部位，我们的肚子是没有办法享受音乐的。其次，这一句话紧接在上一句话后面，上一句话的内容强调的是音乐很响，这一句话应该还是在进一步解释音乐响到什么样的程度才比较合理，而“享受”这个动词强调的是音乐很美，没有在强调很响。
    小题13:D 该句应为：“我想不起他们演奏过的歌曲，我只______我很享受他们的演出”。所以答案是D“记得”。
    小题14: B didn’t want与之相关的名词是it，所以这里的结构应为：“我很享受他们的演出，不想让演出______”。所以答案是B“结束”。
    小题15: A演出结束，我们离开的地方一定是“剧院”，所以选择A
    小题16: C 句意应为：“我们好像从睡梦中______”所以答案是C“醒来”。“逃脱”“旅行”“获益”都和sleep不能构成主谓宾结构。
    小题17: D 句意应为：“我的耳边______最后一首歌曲的节奏”所以答案是D“回响”。
    小题18: B performance“演出”这个词是全文的主旋律，一群疯狂粉丝看一场演出，演出之后又多了一个疯狂粉丝的故事，performance这个词在文中多次出现，此题难度不高。
    小题19: D 前一句话的含义是“我也成为了一个BW的粉丝”空格之后说的是“我会时不时听一听他们的歌”所以两句话之间不可能是让步关系; “否则”“替换”，所以答案是D besides的原义是“除了…还有”，表示递进，进一步阐释我成为BW粉丝后的状态。
    小题20: C 四个动作的宾语是I’m back at that first show表示“我回到了第一次演出的时候”，实际上我永远也无法回到第一次演出的时候，所以这句话的内容是虚假的，所以选择C“想象”。只有这个动词后面可以加虚假内容。而“决定”“后悔”“总结”都不合适。
    点评：本文讲述了作者在八岁时第一次听现场摇滚音乐会的经历和感受，以及后来也成为那个Black Wednesday乐队的粉丝，也因此喜欢和走入其他的音乐，但是再听这个乐队的乐曲时又会回忆起那个演唱会的情境。这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。阅读这类材料时，同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意，同时抓住每一个细节，设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。

    Norah had a cottage on a cliff（悬崖）above a big bay. In winter it could be very unpleasant because of strong winds and sea waves. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent wind might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.
    Also, the salt wave from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
    But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
    Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for the couple. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.
    This went on for several years. Norah didn’t wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.
    Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”
    “What’s that?” asked Norah.
    “Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently, ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out.’ But…”
    小题1:The underlined word “gale” can be replaced by _____.
    A．windB．shipC．seaD．animal
    小题2:We can infer that _____.
    A．lots of friends cam to visit them in winter
    B．few friends came to visit them in winter
    C．friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals
    D．Norah was a good cook
    小题3:How did Norah go to the sea for a swim?
    A．She went there by ship.B．She walked there.
    C．She swam there.D．She went there by bicycle.
    小题4:The hairdresser likely to continue to say “_____” in the end?
    A．if I’m tired, I say ‘Sorry, can you come next time?’
    B．if it’s someone I like to see, I say ‘How lucky! I’ve just come in!’
    C．if it is fine that day, I say, ‘I’m tired of this, but I’ll show you around the place.’
    D．if it’s someone I like to see, I say, ‘How happy to see you! But I was going shopping now .’
    小题5:Which of the following is the best title?
    A．A Good Place of Enjoying the SeaB．A Visit to Norah
    C．A clever Way of EscapingD．A Warm-hearted Couple

    Travelling around the world with children is difficult enough, but attempting it without using motorized transport is even more of challenge. But Dario Schworer, a 42-year-old climatologist and mountain guide, and his 33-year-old wife Sabine are on a journey to do just that.
    The Swiss couple want to travel across the world’s oceans and climb the highest mountain on every continent to promote Earth-friendly ways of life.
    “We are collecting good examples of dealing with climate change and living in harmony with nature and we want to spread such ideas,” Schworer said. “We want to help people affected by global warming and to inspire children for the future.”
    Recently after having spent three months teaching children in the Everest region, the couple want to show it is possible to travel through as the world’s climate zones using just human-power and forces of nature.
    In the 47 countries they have visited so far they have collected 22 tons of trash, taught people in Ecuador how the sun’s rays can be used to clean water and inspired a person in Chile to build a house on water with recycled plastic bottles as a foundation. They have also collected trash in the mountains of Nepal with school children.
    So far they have communicated with 45,000 children from South America, Australia and Asia, giving presentations about the importance of recycling and using alternative energy like solar and wind power.
    “We need to motivate children,” said Sabine.
    When they began their adventure in 2003 they had no children of their own. But since then two has become five: daughter Sabine is now five years old, Andri was born in Chile and baby Noe was born in Australia.
    Initially the couple thought they would complete their travels in four years, but now, seven years later, they believe it could take seven more.
    “Since our belief is the need to respect nature, we travel only when conditions are good,” Schworer said.

    A．To inspire their children for the future.

    Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding of black culture in America.
    During the 1940’s and the 1950’s, Gwendolyn Brooks used her poems to describe conditions among the poor, racial (种族的) inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.
    But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.
    Gwendolyn Brooks once said that she wrote about what she saw and heard in the street. She said she found most of her materials through looking out of the window of her second-floor apartment in Chicago, Illinois.
    In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago, where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was “A Street in Bronzeville” that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skills and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.
    In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called “Annie Allen”. “Annie Allen” is a collection of poetry about a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and a mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and poverty (贫穷).
    Gwendolyn Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.
    Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called “Maud Martha”. “Maud Martha” attracted little attention when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult lives of many women are popular among female writers today.                                                      
    小题1:Gwendolyn Brooks became world-famous because     .
    A．she was an expert on the language of poetry
    B．she introduced black culture by writing poems
    C．she fought for black rights by writing poems
    D．her poems showed the lives of black women
    小题2:Which of the following can we learn from the text?
    A．Gwendolyn Brooks’ poems focused on black people in Africa.
    B．Winning the Pulitzer Prize for Literature was important to Brooks.
    C．Gwendolyn Brooks used to suffer a lot from drugs.
    D．Gwendolyn Brooks was very strict with herself.
    小题3:How did Gwendolyn Brooks get ideas for most of her poems?
    A．By observing life.B．By having talks.
    C．By reading widely.D．By traveling.
    小题4:We can infer that the book “Annie Allen” mainly deals with      .
    A．family lifeB．inequalityC．adventure D．failure

    Whenever we do something wrong, Jesus Christ sees it. He loves us and doesn’t say it. Perhaps he’s wondering how long we’ll keep our mind suffering. A little boy named Johnny was visiting his grandparents on their farm and he was given a slingshot(弹弓) to play with out in the woods. He  36  for some time but he could never hit the target he had set for himself. Getting a little  37 , he walked back to the farmhouse for dinner. As he was _   38 back, he saw Grandpa’s pet duck. Just out of   39 , he let the slingshot fly , hitting it in the head ,and killed it. In a panic, he    40 the dead duck in the woodpile, only to see his sister Sally   41  be watching him. Sally had seen all this, but she said _42 . After lunch that day Grandma said, “Sally, it’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.” And then she spoke _43 to him, “Remember the duck？” So Johnny did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if  44  wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to help me make supper.” But Sally just smiled and said, “Well, that’s all right because Johnny told me he was too   45 to help you. And she whispered again, “Remember the duck?” So Sally went fishing and Johnny  46 to help make supper. After several days of doing both his 47 and Sally’s, Johnny finally couldn’t 48 it any longer. He came to his Grandma and told her that he had killed the duck .Grandma smiled and gave him a big 49 . “Sweetheart, I know.

    It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. Then he cast them on the earth, where few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal --- the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and remorse. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts.
    The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads --- one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.
    He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “O youth, return! O my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I’ll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.
    He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall down from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year’s Night.
    The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back!”
    And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year’s Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
    Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: “O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”
