Ⅰ阅读理解ASeven years ago，back in 2010，some reports covered a story that the world’s longest railway tunnel was under construction in Switzerland.At that point it had already been under construction for over a decade.It had been voted to be built nearly a quarter of a century ago！The idea to build it could date back to nearly 70 years ago—about as old as some of your grandparents!Yesterday，it was finally ready!It’s about 35 miles long and runs 7，500 feet beneath the Swiss Alps，a famous mountain range in Switzerland.It even runs under an old tunnel that was there before.It took a total of 17 years to build at a cost of$12 billion！28 million tons of rock were dug.Two million truckloads of earth were removed!The tunnel connects northern and southern Europe.The opening of this tunnel was such a big deal that the Germany’s leader，Chancellor Angela Merkel，France’s president，Francois Hollande，and Italy’s prime minister，Matteo Renzi，were all there to celebrate，as was Austria’s chancellor Christian Kern.It’s called the Gotthard Base Tunnel.Eventually，325 freight and passenger trains will go through the tunnel，relieving a lot of traffic on the roadways there and making it a more environmentally friendly option.The Gotthard Base Tunnel is a wonder of engineering and makes us want to visit it!【解题导语】本文介绍了戈特哈德隧道的建成及其相关情况和由此带来的意义。
1．When did people first have the idea of building the tunnel?A．About 70 years ago.B．Half a century ago.C．Twentyfive years ago.D．Seven years ago.A解析：细节理解题。
根据第一段中的最后一句可知，大约70年前人们第一次有建造该隧道的想法。
故选A项。
2．What can we learn about the tunnel?A．It used to be an old tunnel.B．It has just been completed.C．It connects all European countries.D．It runs over a range of mountains.B解析：细节理解题。
根据第二段“Yesterday，it was finally ready！”可知，该隧道刚刚竣工。
故选B项。
3．What can be inferred about the tunnel?A．It will cause conflicts among countries.B．It will be of little benefit to the locals.C．It may do damage to the environment.D．It may become a tourist attraction.D解析：推理判断题。
根据最后一句中的“makes us want to visit it”可推知，该铁路隧道可能会成为一个旅游胜地。
故选D项。
BWe know a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of reading ahard-copy book vs. reading electronically. The problem is, many of usrefuse to listen.Don’t get me wrong: Digital reading has some real advantages. Askpeople what they like most about reading on digital screens, and you hear over and over again about convenience. More points for digital reading：ebooks tend to be cheaper. There’s also the environmental argument. Think of the trees!Yet the soundness of this case is arguable. The earth metals to build ereaders are not just rare but highly poisonous. And think about all that energy needed to run servers and cooling fans. And remember, trees are a renewable resource.Then, there’s the appeal of a hard copy. Many people prefer print when reading both for pleasure and for school or work. Drawing examples from my own research, some of the reasons are aesthetic(美学的). Others involve a sense of accomplishment, ease of annotation(“I can write on the pages”), and navigation(“easy to locate where I was”). Meanwhile, I hear abundant complaints about eye strain(眼疲劳) and headaches when using screens.Much of what students liked about reading print involved their minds. They say “it’s easier to focus”. Some also acknowledged they took more time with printed text and read more carefully.But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration. More than 92% of those I surveyed said they concentrated best when reading a hard copy. When a digital device has an Internet connection, it’s hard to resist the temptation(诱惑)．So if digital interruptions don’t threaten your enjoyment or understanding of a text, then medium may not matter. Casual reading like David Baldacci? If you break to check sports scores, there will be little harm done. But just don’t expect to understand Joyce’s novels this way.【解题导语】文章主要介绍了在网络高度发达的社会中，电子书愈来愈有替代纸质书的趋势，然而作者通过对比两者的优缺点表达了对纸质书的青睐。
4．What is an advantage of reading a hardcopy book?A．It is cheaper.B．It is easier to carry around.C．It helps people think deeper.D．It provides instant information.C解析：细节理解题。
根据文章第五段可知，读纸质书能让人更专注、更认真，因此思考更深入。
故选C项。
5．What’s the biggest problem of reading digitally?A．Environmental concern.B．Physical discomfort.C．Lack of concentration.D．Internet connection.C解析：细节理解题。
根据文章第六段中的第一句“But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration.”可知，电子书阅读的最大问题是缺乏专注。

Unit 2 Cloning李仕才一、阅读理解AEnjoying 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.“T his 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 know 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 Stran gers, 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.【文章大意】本文主要介绍了现代音乐会在举办场地的选择上更加多样化。

It requires a light source, such as a standard LED bulb, an Internet connection and a photo detector.It was tested this week using a Li-fi-enabled light bulb to transmit data at the speed of 1 Gbps. Laboratory tests have shown theoretical speeds of up to 224 Gpbs. When tested in an office, it allowed workers to access the Internet and in an industrial space，where it provided a smart lighting solution. Chief executive Deepak Solanki said that the technology could reach consumers “within three or four years”．The term Li-fi was first coined by Prof. Haas, who demonstrated the technology at a Ted conference in 2011. His talk, which has now been watched nearly two million times, showed an LED lamp streaming video. Prof. Haas described a future when billions of light bulbs could become wireless hot spots.One of the big advantages of Li-fi is the fact that, unlike Wi-fi, it does not interfere with other radio signals, so could be used on aircraft and in other places where interference is an issue.However, the technology also has its drawbacks－most notably the fact that it cannot be used outdoors in direct sunlight, because that would interfere with its signal. Neither can the technology travel through walls so initial use is likely to be limited to some places.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文.本文主要是向读者介绍了一种被称作Li-fi的新的传播数据的方式.1．Which of the following will be the best title of this passage?A．The drawbacks of traditional Wi-fiB．The advantages of Li-fiC．Li-fi 100 times faster than Wi-fiD．Li-fi and Wi-fi解析：C[主旨大意题.通读全文内容可判断出，本文主要介绍了一种被称作Li-fi的新的传播数据的方式，它的传播速度比Wi-fi快一百倍.故选C.]2．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Traditional Wi-fi can reach speeds of up to 1 Gbps.B．The new technology has been put into use by consumers.C．Deepak Solanki showed the new technology at a conference in 2011.D．Li-fi can't be used without a light source, an Internet connection or a photo detector.解析：D[细节理解题.根据第二段中的“It requires a light source，such as a standard LED bulb，an Internet connection and a photo detector.”可知，D项所述内容正确.故选D.] 3．This passage may be ________.A．a piece of newsB．a science fictionC．a fashion magazineD．a product brochure解析：A[推理判断题.根据本文内容可判断.本文主要是向读者介绍了一种被称作Li-fi 的新的传播数据的方式.由此可推断出，本文最有可能是一则新闻.]Ⅱ.阅读填句(七选五)(导学号02516344)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.(2018·安徽合肥第二次质量检测)Everybody knows the importance of drinking enough water.

第一部分选修八Unit 2Ⅰ.阅读理解导学号01831312(2015·北京市朝阳区第一次综合练习)Culture and CuisineThe United States is known for jazz and blue jeans. But travel toParis and ask your average French citizen about American cuisine(烹饪)and he's likely to answer，“McDonalds.”Ask the same thing of anyAmerican citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the sameanswer, or something close to it.Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine, but with American malls and other outlets standardizing everything from clothing to food, the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous—all the same—no matter where you live. True, many Americans are eating more varied foods these days, but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups, and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine.So what exactly is American cuisine? Well, to some extent it is a reflection of our melting pot culture, meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat, dairy products, pork, beef and poultry. But American cuisine also includes products that once were known only to the New World, including potatoes, corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and peanuts.The one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep South. The South lost the Civil War, but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and advance their cooking traditions—and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American, which is why we're pleased to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation. That's right, grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah. Truth is, they never really left, but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants.In fact, a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experience this extraordinary cuisine for themselves. Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes popular in other regions of the country in the way that, say, Italian cuisine has, but it's amazing and heartening to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularity in these increasingly homogeneous times.文章大意：该文是说明文.主要介绍关于美国饮食的变化历程.1．According to the passage, American cuisine impresses people as being ________.A．dull and changelessB．rich and variousC．popular and deliciousD．disagreeable and unpleasant答案：A细节理解题.A项枯燥并无变化；B项丰富并多变的；C项受欢迎且味道鲜美的；D项不赞成且不愉快的.根据第二段的．..the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous—all the same—no matter where you live可知，美国的烹饪无变化.故选A.2．It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that ________.A．cuisines of other countries play a more important role in AmericaB．American cuisine has become increasingly lacking in varietyC．American cuisine tends to vary because of immigrationD．American cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines答案：B推理判断题.通读全文，文中多次出现“homogeneous... homogenization...”说明American cuisine 正在模式化，统一化，甚至同化了一些外来的饮食.故选B.3．From the passage, we know that grits and gravy ________.A．were cooked with new materials after the Civil WarB．are gaining popularity in the south of AmericaC．were more popular over ten years agoD．are seldom served in restaurants答案：B推理判断题.根据文章第四段的“grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities...”说明American cuisine 流行起来了. 从后文的“time will tell...in other regions”能看出来这种流行现在还局限在南方.故选B.4．What's the writer's attitude towards the renewal of Low Country cuisine in America?A．Concerned and cautious.B．Hopeless and doubtful.C．Positive and supportive.D．Critical and disapproving.答案：C细节理解题.Concerned and cautious担心的和认真的；Hopeless and doubtful无希望的并怀疑的；Positive and supportive积极并支持的；Critical and disapproving批评和否定的.通读全文，并根据文章的最后一句话it's amazing and heartening to see one of our... 说明作者的是积极并支持的.所以选C.Ⅱ.七选五导学号01831314根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余项.(2015·开封市二模)In the winter months, most children spend their time on video games.Spending their time on video games for a long time is harmful to them.How you can try your best to get them active and keep their minds and bodies healthy is very necessary and important.__1__ Here are some ideas：◆Take out some old gamesAfter hours of being indoors, kids will quickly get tired of their own games and toys.Take this opportunity to teach them the old games from your childhood.Make up new rules to refresh the games and make them original to your family.__2__◆ Cook togetherCooking is a great activity because the whole family can get involved.__3__ Kids can even practice their reading skills by reading the recipe aloud from a cookbook.Cooking with children also encourages them to try new foods because they've had a hand in making the finished product.◆ Make use of that big projectYou may have spring cleaning plans, but get a head start on that big clean-out project this winter.__4__ Let your kids involved in cleaning the garage or painting the guest room.Once the project is complete, all of you will feel satisfied to work together.◆ Go on an indoor adventureStaying at home day after day is really dull and you may take part in other activities with your kids.__5__ Make a trip to an indoor ice skating or roller skating rink.You can also start a bowling tournament with other families from school and the neighborhood.A.Encourage your kids to join in the project.B.Set aside more hours for your work.C.Assign everyone a job, like mixing or frying.D.Most kids enjoy outdoor activities in winter.E．Go to a swimming pool in a local gym.F．Record the game ideas to pick out of an activity later.G．With a little activity, you can prevent the winter blues.文章大意：本文是生活知识类小短文.主要告诉我们如何尽力让孩子在冬天保持身心健康.1．G根据题干和G中的关键词：the winter blues(冬季抑郁)，active，healthy，activity 判断答案.故选G.2．F根据题干和F中的关键词：activity，old games，refresh，判断答案.故选F.3．C根据题干和C中的关键词：the whole family can get involved, recipe，cook, book，assign等判断答案.故选C.4．A根据题干和A中的关键词：join in, involve，project等判断答案.故选A.5．E根据题干和E中的关键词：indoor，activity，ice skating or roller skating rink，gym 等判断答案.故选E.Ⅲ.语法填空导学号01831315阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式.(2015·黑龙江佳木斯重点中学一模)Everyone has his own way of saying things and his own special expressions.

Ⅰ阅读理解ASeven years ago，back in2010，some reports covered a story that the world’s longest railway tunnel was under construction in Switzerland.At that point it had already been under construction for over a decade.It had been voted to be built nearly a quarter of a century ago！The idea to build it could date back to nearly70years ago—about as old as some of your grandparents!Yesterday，it was finally ready!It’s about35miles long and runs7，500feet beneath the Swiss Alps，a famous mountain range in Switzerland.It even runs under an old tunnel that was there before.It took a total of17years to build at a cost of$12billion！28 million tons of rock were dug.Two million truckloads of earth were removed!The tunnel connects northern and southern Europe.The opening of this tunnel was such a big deal that the Germany’s leader，Chancellor Angela Merkel，France’s president，Francois Hollande，and Italy’s prime minister，Matteo Renzi，were all there to celebrate，as was Austria’s chancellor Christian Kern.It’s called the Gotthard Base Tunnel.Eventually，325freight and passenger trains will go through the tunnel，relieving a lot of traffic on the roadways there and making it a more environmentally friendly option.The Gotthard Base Tunnel is a wonder of engineering and makes us want to visit it!【解题导语】本文介绍了戈特哈德隧道的建成及其相关情况和由此带来的意义。

课时练1阅读理解提速练Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·福建高中毕业班质检)The World Health Organization(WHO) said that processed meat may be carcinogenic(致癌的)、Do youstill dare eat cancer-linked processed meat? Here are some comments onthe website.Bill (Australia) I’d rather live a short, pleasant life than a long，unhappy one, denying(拒绝给予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it’s not healthy.We should all enjoy the one life we have—if I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere, eat anything or enjoy life in any way.So, I won’t change my habit.I am going to have a bacon sandwich, glass of wine, burger, can of coke whenever I feel like it.Tim (America) Is meat really as bad as smoking？I don’t think so.According to the WHO 34，000 people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat.In 2012, 8.2 million people died of cancer worldwide.That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat.I’ll take the chance.Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn’t say that just one bite of meat causes cancer, it is rather saying that people should vary their diet.People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits.They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.Van(China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians(素食者)、So for your health, the environment and future generations, it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude.There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了一些网民对于世界卫生组织公布的食用加工肉制品可能致癌的这一信息的个人看法.1、What if Bill has to change his habit?A、He’ll feel unhappy.B、He’ll live a pleasant life.C、He’ll go on a diet.D、He’ll become a vegetarian.A解析:推理判断题.根据第二段的“I’d rather live a short, pleasant life than a long, unhappy one, denying(拒绝给予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it’s not healthy.”可推知，Bill如果改变目前的饮食习惯，他会不开心的.2、What does Tim think about eating processed meat?A、Too risky.B、Fairly safe.C、Popular worldwide.D、Very unhealthy.B解析:推理判断题.根据第三段的“Is meat really as bad as smoking？I don’t think so.”和“That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat.I’ll take the chance.”可知，Tim认为吃加工肉制品并不是什么要命的事儿，还是比较安全的.3、What may be Helen’s response to WHO’s warning?A、Caring little about it.B、Eating whatever she likes.C、Varying the diet and doing exercise.D、Taking a diet without meat.C解析:细节理解题.根据第四段的“it is rather saying that people should vary their diet.People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits.They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.”可知，Helen对WHO的警告的回应是应该饮食多样化并多锻炼身体.B(2018·安徽百所重点高中模拟)I had the honour of being electedchief of my tribe(部落)、With the title came great responsibility. It was myjob to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited.Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying,sticking eyes and much noise of sticks. They laid a palm leaf on the ground and, as head, I was forced to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. “Kia ora，”he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.My “tribe”was my New Zealand coach tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We had been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was nonstop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance immortalized(使不朽) by the All Blacks rugby team.Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slowcooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey backto the hotel was alone worth the effort, our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show. “The wheels on the bus go round and round，”he got us singing, while he circuited a round about three times.A couple of days from the end of our trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a ridge, there it was—Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as “the land of the long white cloud”. Can I say “Kia ora, Aotearoa？” You bet I can.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了他去新西兰旅游时接触到的毛利文化.4、How were the visitors greeted in the tribe?A、The soldiers made a palm leaf road.B、The soldiers touched their noses.C、The soldiers shook sticks fiercely.D、The soldiers made noise with shut eyes.C解析:细节理解题.根据第一段中的“Their soldiers...much noise of sticks. They laid a palm leaf on the ground”可知，毛利部落的勇士们从独木舟上跳下来，用狂热的叫喊、瞪大的眼睛和巨大的棍棒晃动声将作者一行人镇住了，他们还在地面上放置一片棕榈叶.这些都是毛利人对游客表示欢迎的方式.故选C.5、Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?A、Kia ora.B、Haka.C、Hangi.D、Tamaki.C解析:细节理解题.根据第三段可知，在地下土炉中烹制食物是毛利饮食传统，这被称为hangi.6、What does the author think of the driver?A、He was good at singing.B、He made the journey memorable.C、He was not familiar with the road.D、He performed well on a TV show.B解析:推理判断题.根据第四段可知，作者一行人的回宾馆之旅让他们难忘:有表演天赋的毛利老司机让作者他们一路欢歌，故选B.7、What is the best title for the text?A、A Taste of Maori CultureB、Hello, New ZealandC、The Honour of Being a Tribe ChiefD、The Best of New ZealandA解析:标题归纳题.作者作为赴新西兰的旅游团的队长，在旅游中有幸接触毛利文化，这给作者留下了深刻的印象，故A项“体验毛利文化”作标题最佳.C(2018·辽宁大连双基测试)Whenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen.This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell.But some buttons are actually fake(假的), like the “close”button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close”button because they don’t have the patience to wait.But lifts’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the U、S.—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the U、S., making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the door closing process if they have special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless.According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and increases well-being，”said Ellen J、Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their names either.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computercontrolled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”，they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了我们平时生活中所见到的按钮可能是不起作用的.8、What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A、To describe different fake buttons.B、To explore the functions of fake buttons.C、To analyze various habits of pushing buttons.D、To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.B解析:写作意图题.通读整篇文章可知，作者通过举例子介绍了不同地点的虚假按钮，其目的是探求这些虚假按钮的功能.故选B.9、What can we learn about the “close”buttons on a lift in America?A、They work when people press them hard.B、They were designed for a sense of control.C、They never speed up the door-closing process.D、They take the safety of the disabled into account.D解析:细节理解题.根据第三段中的第一句可知，美国电梯里的“关闭”按钮是为了确保残疾人能安全地通过.故选D.10、What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?A、They can make people feel better.B、They help computers work faster.C、They can control the traffic signals.D、They help pedestrians cross safely.A解析:推理判断题.根据第四段中的“fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control”和第六段中的“For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their names either.”可知，人行横道按钮也没有实现其功能，但可以让人们感觉好一点，故选A.11、Which may be the best title for the passage?A、Buttons in the U、S.A.B、Buttons Always LieC、Buttons May Not WorkD、“Close”Buttons on LiftsC解析:标题归纳题.通读全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了有些按钮只是形式上的，而不具备真正的实际功能.故C项“按钮可能不起作用”最符合文章主旨.故选C.D(2018·合肥高三第一次质检)When slaves were first brought over from West Africa to the southern parts of America，they brought along with them aspects of their own culture—religion，dance，language，music，and cuisine.A mix of the two cultures eventually appeared.The religious dance of the ring shout turned into modern dances like the Charleston，and tribal chants slowly transformed into sorrowful hymns(圣歌) sung by slaves that described their hardships.These soulful accounts by slaves of the severe climate and conditions began to be called “the blues”，which continued in popularity among African Americans after the Civil War.This music increased in popularity into the early 1900s when many black musicians became an important part of the music industry.The slaves that had been brought over were from all different regions of West Africa，but they worked together until they gradually formed a common culture.This strengthened the identity of their music that，in the 1950s，eventually led to the beginning of rock and roll.The Beatles，the most influential band of the 1960s，is often determined as the accelerator that resulted in the ideology(意识形态) surrounding music that is still around today.The freedom and individuality associated with that time period brought forth a whole culture surrounding music.It was not just music any more，but a lifestyle.Over the decades，music has developed into such a vital part of society and pop culture. Musicians are glorified，with tons of adoring and screaming fans.The modern technology of present day has allowed for a greater gap between the creator of the music and the fans，as well as the widespread commercialization of music.However，criticisms of modern pop music often arise due to its mass production，and now there is lack of the same soul and quality of naturalness and simplicity in music that was rising in the early 20th century.【解题导语】当奴隶开始被从西非带到美国南部时，他们也带来了自己的文化——宗教、舞蹈、语言、音乐和烹饪.本文主要讲的是音乐在文化融合中的发展.12、What contributed to the birth of the Charleston?A、Various African religions.B、People’s love of tribal dances.C、A mix of two different cultures.D、The popularity of sorrowful hymns.C解析:细节理解题.根据第一段中的“A mix of the two cultures eventually appeared.The religious dance of the ring shout turned into modern dances like the Charleston”可知，两种文化的混合促进了Charleston的出现.故选C.13、According to the passage，what can we learn about the blues?A、It became popular in the late 20th century.B、It may include the description of slaves’sad lives.C、It mainly told the stories of the American Civil War.D、It reflected the hard lives of many black musicians.B解析:细节理解题.根据第二段中的“These soulful accounts by slaves of the severe climate and conditions began to be called ‘the blues’”可知，对在苛刻的气候和环境下工作的奴隶的那些深情凄婉的描述被称作“the blues”.故选B.14、What does the underlined word “This”in the third paragraph refer to?A、Slaves’collective work.B、One region of West Africa.C、The new common culture.D、The music by the Beatles.C解析:代词指代题.根据第三段中的“...they worked together until they gradually formed a common culture.This strengthened...”可知，他们一起工作直到他们逐渐形成一种共同的文化.故选C.15、It can be learned that the music in the early 20th century ________、A、possessed soul and sincerityB、became more commercializedC、was blamed for its mass productionD、widened the gap between musicians and fansA解析:推理判断题.根据最后一段中的“and now there is lack of the same soul and quality of naturalness and simplicity in music that was rising in the early 20th century”可知，选A.Ⅱ七选五(2018·郑州一中高三入学测试)In the age of the keyboard，some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.Steve Graham，a literacy professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville，Tennessee，has been hearing about the death of handwriting for the past fifteen years. 1.________He said，“If the results of a survey we have published this year are accurate，it
