一、阅读明白得。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Enjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days，musicians are performing in private homes，at haircutting shops，at airports...even on ferry boats.
Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs，they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.
Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O' Hair Salon，Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then，they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon，near the hairdryers and make­up tables.
“This is our first show at a hair salon，”Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week's performance.Frank said she and band members，Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time“interacting” with the audience.
Concerts in people's homes，or small businesses such as O' Hair's，are becoming more popular，musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere，”said Domenic Cicala，a musician who opened up his O' Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to kn ow the artists.”
At house concerts，people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often，the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.
“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend，”said Matt Hart，with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers，a folk­rock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts，the musicians do not need microphones.Yet，every word of their songs can be heard.
1．Why do musicians like house concerts?
A．Because private homes are easier to get to.
B．Because people pay more attention to their music.
C．Because they can do other things while performing.
D．Because they don't have to bring their microphones.
2．What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week's performance?
A．The small performance space.
B．Her first show at a hair salon.
C．Their interaction with the audience.

【解题导语】作者用诙谐的语气质问Wi­Fi，这出现了现代人的一种通病，那确实是对无线网络的依靠。

1．C 依照语境可知，尽管(Though)作者明白Wi­Fi关心了自己，然而正是Wi­Fi的专门作用让作者在做情况的时候会分心。

2．D 参见上题解析。

3．A 依照语境可知，作者专门多次都对自己承诺说要抑制(keep in)自己对Wi­Fi的情感。

bring back“使回忆起，使想起”；approve of“同意，赞成”；give up“舍弃”。

4．A 依照语境可知，此处形象生动地表现了作者不能抗拒Wi­Fi对自己的吸引。

draw“吸引”符合语境。

force“强迫，迫使”；observe“观看”。

5．B Wi­Fi进入了作者的家和灵魂中。

下文中的“holds our mind”是关键提示。

6．A Wi­Fi(本来)只是我们娱乐(entertainment)和猎取信息的窗口。

argument“争辩”；expan sion“扩张”；struggle“斗争，奋斗”。

7．B 依照上文的“You're just a window for our... information”以及“But”所表示的转折关系可知，此处表示人们并不满足于(satisfied)Wi­Fi仅仅是个“窗口(window)”。

strict“严格的”；generous“大方的”。

8．D 此处表示人们将Wi­Fi的作用扩大化，不仅仅满足于其作为窗口的作用，而是将所有的“门(doors)”打开迎接Wi­Fi。

某种程度上而言，door是window的“升级版”。

9．A 结合下文中的“an illness”可知，作者疑问的是自己和其他人对Wi­Fi如此依靠的现象是否是一种病(disease)。

inspiration“灵感”；routine“惯例”；phenomenon“现象”。

10．C 假如对Wi­Fi的情感是一种依靠的话，Wi­Fi能保证与作者一生都亲热无间吗？commit意为“保证(做某事、遵守协议或遵从安排等)，承诺”，符合语境。

recommend“举荐”；instruct“教诲”；adapt“适应”。

11．B Wi­Fi不能给自己放几天假以便它和作者都能放松(relax)一下吗？
persist“坚持”；progress“进展、(使)进步”；balance“平稳”。

12．D 依照本句中的“not a slow one”可知，Wi­Fi并不是慢性毒药，而是快速起效的毒药，故用fast与slow形成对比。

raw“不熟练的”；ambiguous“模糊不清的”。

13．A Wi­Fi是一种能操纵人们的思想并使人们随着它的音调起舞的毒药。

dance to
表示“随着……跳舞”。

14．A 依照下文中的“anyone can buy”可知，现在Wi­Fi的价格是如此低廉以至于任何人都能买到，并使其成为人们的伴侣。

affordable“支付得起的，不算太贵的”；valuable“有价值的”；conventional“传统的”；attractive“有吸引力的”。

15．C 参见上题解析。

下文中的“Because you accompany us everywhere and never let us be alone”亦是提示。

addition“加，添加”；companion“伴侣，伙伴”；instrument“工具”。

16．B 毫无生命的Wi­Fi是决可不能在意其用户的健康的，然而用户们会一直担忧
Wi­Fi的“健康”，此处用always与上文的“never”形成对比，强调人们对Wi­Fi的在意程度。

17．D 依照下文中的“person made of flesh and blood(血肉之躯)”可知，作者想明白假如Wi­Fi成为拥有血肉之躯的真实的人，人们是否会一样喜爱它。

selfish“自私的”；dishonest“不诚实的”；responsible“负责任的”。

18．A 依照上文作者介绍的人们对Wi­Fi的依靠及下文中的“we even can't ge t rid of you”可知，人们离开了Wi­Fi简直无法生活下去，而本句中的“with your numerous talents”正是Wi­Fi操纵人们的方式。

control“操纵”；scold“批判”；comfort“安慰”；challenge“挑战”。

19．B 依照语境可知，Wi­Fi操纵了人们，也确实是说人们成了被其掌控的奴隶(slaves)。

colleague“同事”；employer“雇主”。

20．C 依照语境专门是本句中的“in the previous generations”可知，作者专门疑问的是在早期没有Wi­Fi的时候人们是如何存活(survived)下来的。

suffer“受苦”；connect“联系”；surf“冲浪”。

四、短文改错。

My neighbor Jackie is always consideration to others.One day，I was going to deliver a speech at an institute while I found my car wouldn't get starting.I rushed to the street to hire a taxi.Just at that time，I come across Jackie.He was hurried going to attend his sick mother in hospital.
Furthermore，when he learned about my problems，he didn't hesitate to give me a lift.I arrived at the lecture hall in time，when the audience had been present.I owe my great thanks to my neighbor Jackie，who is a person ready to help the others at any time.
【答案】
My neighbor Jackie is always consideration considerate
to others.One day ，I was going to
deliver a speech at an institute while when I found my car wouldn't get starting started
.I rushed
to the street to hire a taxi.Just at that time ，I come came across Jackie.He was hurried hurriedly
going to attend ∧to
his sick mother in hospital.
Furthermore However ，when he learned about my problems problem
，he didn't hesitate to give me
a lift.I arrived at the lecture hall in time ，when where
the audience had been present.I
owe my great thanks to my neighbor Jackie ，who is a person ready to help the others at any time.
第一处：consideration→considerate 系动词be 后应接形容词作表语，be
considerate to sb.意为“对某人体贴”。

故将consideration 改为considerate 。

第二处：while→when was doing...when...是固定句式，when 作连词，意为“就在这时……；突然……”。

故将while 改为when 。

第三处：starting→started get 在句中是系动词，主语与动词start 之间是被动关系，要用被动形式，故将starting 改为started 。

第四处：come→came 依照上下文可知，本文描述的是发生在过去的情况，应用一样过去时。

故将come 改为came 。

第五处：hurried→hurriedly 修饰going to 应用副词，而hurried 为形容词，意为“匆忙的”。

故将hurried 改为hurriedly 。

第六处：在attend 后加to 句意为：他正急匆匆地去医院照管他生病的母亲。

attend to 是固定搭配，意为“照管”。

故在attend 后加to 。

第七处：Furthermore→However 杰基着急去医院，但却毫不犹疑地开车送作者去演讲的地点。

上下文是转折关系，故将Furthermore 改为However 。

第八处：problems→problem “我”的困难确实是要着急去作演讲，应用单数。

故将problems 改为problem 。

第九处：when→where 此处是一个非限制性定语从句、修饰先行词hall ，引导词在从句中作地点状语，应用where 引导该从句。

故将when 改为where 。

第十处：删除the 此处是说杰基是一个乐于助人的人，泛指其他人，不用冠词。

故删除the 。
