Part 3 Reading and Writing （第三部分读写）
VI. Reading comprehension （阅读理解）（共50分）
A. Choose the best answer （根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分
The French word renaissance means rebirth. It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France，then adopted by historians of culture，by art historians，and eventually by music historians，all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450－1600.The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe. Scholars and artists of this period wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. To these scholars this meant a return to human. Fulfillment in life became a desirable goal，and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on. Artists and writers now turned to secular as well as religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.
These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period—how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed，experienced，discussed，and circulated. They could see the architectural monuments，sculptures，plays，and poems that were being rediscovered，but they could not actually hear ancient music—although they could read the writings of classical philosophers，poets，essayists，and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example，the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors，painters，architects，and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.
The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques. Furthermore，music changed so rapidly during this century and a half—though at different rates in different countries—that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.
69.What does the author mean by using the word “eventually” in line 3?
A. That music historians used the term “Renaissance” after the other historians did
B. That most music historians used the term “Renaissance”
C. The term “Renaissance” became widely used by art historians but not by music historians
D. That music historians used the term “Renaissance” very differently than it had been used by Jules Michelet
70.The phrase "frowned on" in line 9 is closest in meaning to
A. given up
B. forgotten about
C. argued about
D. disapproved of
71. It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of__.
A. communication among artists across Europe
B. spirituality in everyday life
C. a cultural emphasis on human values
D. religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes
72. According to the passage, why was Bemardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?
A. It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.
B. It had little emotional impact on audiences.
C. It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.
D. It did not contain enough religious themes.
73. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a reason for the absence of a single Renaissance musical style?
A. The musical Renaissance was defined by technique rather than style.
B. The musical Renaissance was too short to give rise to a new musical style.
C. Renaissance musicians adopted the styles of both Greek and Roman musicians.
D. During the Renaissance, music never remained the same for very long.
【答案】ADCBD
【解析】
文章介绍欧洲的文艺复兴，包括音乐风格的改变，而音乐的复兴的效果很不明显。

文章内容有一定难度，但结构清楚，学生不难理解，以主旨题推理题的考查为主，解答此类题除了注意细节，也需要结合上下文提供的语境和信息进行的概括和判断。

69. 词义猜测题：根据It was first used in 1855 by the historian ...，then adopted by historians of culture，by art historians，and eventually by music historians,可判断music historians是在最后，故推测A。

70. 词义猜测题：根据前面的as opposed to. . . 及. . . were no longer可推知D项“不同意”与之意义接近。

选D
71. 细节题：从第一段的句子：To these scholars this meant a return to human—as opposed to spiritual values.可知文艺复兴时期的思想家追求的是强调人性的文化。

选C
72. 细节题：从第二段的句子：They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. 可知Bernardino Cirillo 认为现代音乐没有古代音乐的影响力，所以很失望。

选B
73. 细节题：根据最后一段Furthermore，music changed so rapidly during this century and a half that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.表明音乐在一段时期变化太快，不会持续保持同一种风格不变。

选D
B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage（选择最恰当的选项完成短文）（12分）
In American history, today’s grandparents used to grow up in a period of angry rebelling
against their parents’ authority. As time goes by and they ease into the role of senior family members, they may wonder: What happened to the generation gap? Is it gone or just in the ___74___? Or is it still present but mostly underground?
A generation gap is commonly recognized to refer to differences between generations that cause conflict and complicated communication, creating a ‘gap.’ Sociologist William Safire provides a more positive definition. Generation gap, according to him, can be a(n) upsetting lack of communication between young and old, which results in misunderstanding, or, on the good side, it can be regarded as a useful stretch of time that separates cultures within a society, allowing them to develop their own ___75___. From their position in the family, and with more experience than younger family members, grandparents are more likely to look at the generation gap ___76___, expecting that differences between generations can sometimes do some good to all those concerned.
Although there have always been differences between the generations, the drastic differences that the term implies were not much ___77___ until the twentieth century. Before that time, society was not very mobile. Young people typically lived near their extended families, prayed in their childhood churches and often worked on the family farm or in a family business. 78 the appearance of television and movies, young people were exposed to cultural influences foreign to their own families and cultures. Performers like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and James Dean won admiration from the younger generation but were often disliked by the older generation. Then, to make the matter worse, came the 1960s, and the Vietnam（越南）War 79 a more serious conflict between young and old.
Today, although more Americans have admitted the existence of generational differences, most do not see them as too ___80___. That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according to a research, are use of technology and taste in music rather than serious issues like religious beliefs or political viewpoints. In fact, most American people today have found ways to, on the one hand, live in harmony with family members and, on the other hand,stick to their own tastes and preferences.
74.. A. shadow B. system C. air D. communication
75. A. character B relationship C. resource D. hobby

76 B 由下文可知，从他们家庭位置来看，比起年轻的家庭成员更有经验，祖父母更容易仅仅看代沟，希望代沟之间的差异有时会给有关的人带来好处．

D. Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）
A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see, and asked the students, " How much do you think this glass weighs?"
"50 grams!" "100 grams!" "125 grams!" the students answered.
"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the teacher, "but my question is what would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?"
" Nothing! " the students said.
"OK. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?" the professor asked.
"Your arm would begin to ache," said one of the students.
"You're right. Now, what would happen if I held it for a day?"
"Your arm could go numb（麻木的）. You might have serious muscles stress, or paralysis. You might have to go to hospital for sure!" said another student. All the students laughed.
"Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" asked the professor.
"No." the students said.
"Then why do we have different results?"
The students were puzzled.
“It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it.” the professor said, “It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”
Life’s problems are something like this. If you just think about them for a few minutes, they might not seem so bad. Think about them for a longer time and they begin to ache. Hold them even longer and they begin to trouble you. You will not be able to do anything. It’s important to think about challenges in your life, but even it is even more important to ‘put them down’ at the end of the day before you go to sleep. That way, may be you will __________ the next day.
