本文是一篇记叙文。

文章介绍“盲人汤姆”在音乐方面的天赋以及成长经历。

他的音乐会混合了古典音乐和他自己的作品。

【41题详解】
考查过去分词。

句意：这个奴隶是一个女人，她有一个叫汤姆的小孩，他又瞎又自闭。

此处child 和call之间是一种被动关系，是过去分词作后置定语，故答案为called。

【42题详解】
考查过去进行时态。

句意：一天，Bethune正在他的花园里散步，突然听到从房子里传出来的音乐。

固定句式：was/were doing sth.---when---，正在做某事，这时候。

由此可知答案为was walking。

【43题详解】

此处是副词修饰动词，故答案为instantly。

【44题详解】

结合句意可知此处用名词复数，故答案为musicians。

此处after是介词，后面跟动名词作宾语，故答案为hearing。

【46题详解】
考查固定短语。

句意：1857年，“盲人汤姆”参加了他的第一次公开表演。

take part in“参加”，故答案
为in。

考查被动语态。

句意：三年后，盲人汤姆被邀请到白宫为总统表演。

此处句子主语Blind Tom 和invite 之间是被动关系，再根据Three years later可知句子用一般过去时态的被动语态，故答案为was invited。

【48题详解】
考查定语从句。

句意：三年后，盲人汤姆被邀请到白宫为总统表演。

此处the White House是先行词，后面的定语从句缺少引导词，不缺少主谓宾，先行词在定语从句中做地点状语，故答案为where。

【49题详解】

三、阅读理解
18. I’ve been home from Hawaii less than a week, and I’ve almost adjusted to being back at work (the 30 degree temperatures are a different story). I came back from my trip with a ton of energy, a great fun and so many wonderful memories. I also came back with some unexpected realizations about my business and my role as chief executive.
Here’s what I’ve decided:
First and foremost, I’m still too caught up in the details. When I glanced at my e-mail each day I was away, I noticed so many messages，customer requests, etc. that I would have addressed immediately if I had been at the office. By putting myself in a position where I “couldn’t” respond to these e-mails, I realized that the majority of them didn’t require my response.
I was worried that our new operations manager Amaya might get stuck in things without me there, but it turned out that she was just fine. When she had questions about the storage history of a customer, for example, she turned to the team and got her answers. It gave me new appreciation for my employees and
their ability to help each other.
I often get involved with the engineers on decisions related to our data centers. While I was gone, they had to make important decisions on a number of data center projects. They analyzed the options, and determined the proper course of action. I now realiz e that I don’t need to be as involved in the details of this aspect of the business.
Finally, I learned that having an auto—response message on my e-mail is the BEST. People immediately knew my status and were given contact information for other people who could help them. I saw all of my e-mails but didn’t need to answer them. Somehow, everything just got done.
So what does this mean for me? Well, that’s a big, important question that involves my ever evolving role here. I thought I was doing a pretty good job pulling out myself from the details, but now I realize I can step back even more, so long as I’m keeping an eye through ongoing team and individual checkpoints. It’ll require some restriction on my part, but it’ll give me more time to work on other pr ojects, like some marketing ideas I’ve been toying with. I may even plan a few more vacations!
66. The underlined words “them” refers to _____.
A. the e-mails
B. the details
C. junk messages
D. customer requests
67. Which of the following is RIGHT about Amaya according to the passage?
A. She appreciates the author very much.
B. She is not familiar with her work very much.
C. She is an operations manager, helping other employees.
D. She’s a person solving problem about the storage history of a customer.
68. From the fifth paragraph we can infer that the author will _____ in the future.
A. make important decisions on a number of data center projects personally
B. often get involved with the engineers on decisions related to our data centers
C. not deal with decisions related to the data centers directly
D. analyze the options, and determine the proper course of action
69. The author thinks the best way of dealing with his e-mail is _____.
A. seeing some of his e-mails
B. contacting them immediately
C. telling them status slowly
D. designing system auto reply
70. The last paragraph tells us the author _____.
A. has been toying with marketing ideas
B. can’t pull out himself from the details completely
C. has to plan a few more vacations for his employees
D. never kept an eye through ongoing team and individual checkpoints before
参考答案：66．A 67．B 68．C 69．D 70．B。
