二、阅读理解（共5小题；每小题5分，满分5分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is v ery rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.

Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.

Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”

However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t sto p with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is jus t happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

A. He has a gift for writing music.

D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.

（）18. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he .

答案

一、完形填空

本文首先指出父母与十几岁的孩子之间存在矛盾冲突及其原因，然后是研究发现的不同父母对此采取的不同方法，有的方法较另一些方法更有效果，最后一段是心理学家对解决冲突的建议。

1. D 由not easy living with them (their parents) (孩子觉得与父母生活在一起不易)与difficult to live with teenagers(父母觉得与十几岁的孩子生活在一起很难)可知，孩子与父母有“相似的”感受。(逻辑推断)

2. B 由前两句，可知父母之间有“矛盾”，再根据regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks(关于不整洁和日常事情)，对照各选项，只有argument(争吵)适合。(逻辑推断)

3. C 由前句的untidiness和后面的clothes thrown on the floor可知，房间是messy(凌乱不堪的)。(逻辑推断；也可将untidiness与messy看作是近义复现)

4. B 由上文提到的收拾房间之类的事，应是housework(家务活)。(上下义复现)

5. C 由后面的not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping可知，这里应是dropping the towel in the bathroom，一起为blame them的原因。(逻辑推断，或词语同现，受责备的应都是负面的意思)

6. A 由下句的However, some approaches提示，可知这里是指“不同的父母对待这些问题有不同的‘方法’”。(原词复现)

7. D 从下面的例子可以看出，有的方法比别的方法更能“达到预期的目的(successful)”。下文中的do better也有提示作用。(逻辑推断)

8. A 指yell at their children(对孩子大声叫喊)之后，意为“但是‘后来’又为他们清扫房间”。(逻辑推断)

9. A 改变孩子不爱整洁的“行为(behavior)”。(逻辑推断)

10. C 据下文所举的例子“不帮父母去买东西”“在冰箱里就找不到自己最喜欢的饮料”可知，这是让孩子“感受到自己的行为产生的‘后果’”。(逻辑推断)

11. D 在有了上述经历之后，他们就会“重新考虑”他们的行动。(逻辑推断)

12. A 由下文中的Communication is a two-way process可知，此处填communication。事实上，当完成第13空后，就基本上确定此题选A了。(原词复现)

13. D 由but可知，要选与lend an ear to(=listen to倾听)相对的talk。(词语同现；逻辑推断)

14. B 由but可知，要选与understand (理解)相对的scold(责骂)。(词语同现；逻辑推断)

15. C 此句是强调结构，是对前两句的总结，一句是说要lend an ear to(=listen to倾听)，一句是说要understand (倾听)，所以总结为“只有通过倾听和相互理解，父母与孩子之间的问题才可得到解决”。(原词复现)

二、阅读理解

本文是记叙文，介绍有音乐天才的Samuel Osmond。

16. D 细节理解题。由第一段中的However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them可知选D。顺便提醒，有however或but的地方往往是出题的地方，可以注意哟。

17. D 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句“but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music”可知选D。又是在有but的地方出题了！

18. C 综合细节题。由第三段最一句Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised和第三四句“I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It

comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note”可知，他不用看音符就能演奏钢琴，故选C。

19. C 推断隐含意义。由第四段最后一句Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory---I guess

I have that gift.”可推出。

20. B 选择标题题。也属主旨要义题。每段都有Samuel，全文都是说学法津的Samuel有音乐天才。
