7.Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other.Then one day,Sue saw Jim's music collection.She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned.At that moment,she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking.Sue said,"I thought we had nothing in common(相同)until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls."They are now married and living with each other.
Some psychologists (心理學(xué)家) think that your taste in music is related to (有聯(lián)系的) your personality.As part of a test at the University of Texas,Austin,USA,volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs.The volunteers then listened to each other's CDs and made guesses about the CD creator's personality-outgoing,adventurous,happy,and so on.These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others'personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films.For example,Sue and Jim love punk music,which means they have outgoing personalities.
The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative.People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.
The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong(jazz) fans tend to(傾向于) be shy.The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.
Title:Music and(62)Personality
An opinion•Your (63)tastein music is related to your personality.
Findings•One's clothes or taste in films is (64)lessimportant than his/her CDs in a test of guessing about one's personality.
•It is (65)likelythat hip-hop fans are energetic and talkative.
•People who(66)likerock or pop music are usually independent and adventurous.
•Jazz fans tend to be(67)seriousand intelligent.
•It's(68)surprisingthat rap and heavy metal fans are shier and quieter than many other music lovers
An(69)example•(70)ThoughSue and Jim were neighbours for five years,they were never interested in each other.
•After Sue noticed they both had rare punk rock CDs,she found they had*(71)something in common.
•They are now married and living with each other.

分析 這篇短文主要通過一個(gè)事例和一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)介紹了音樂和個(gè)性之間的關(guān)系.

解答 62.Personality 考查名詞的辨析.根據(jù)第二段Some psychologists (心理學(xué)家) think that your taste in music is related to (有聯(lián)系的) your personality.及上下文描述,可知本文主要談?wù)摰募词挂魳泛蛡(gè)性的關(guān)系.故填:Personality,個(gè)性.
63.taste 考查名詞的辨析.根據(jù)Some psychologists (心理學(xué)家) think that your taste in music is related to (有聯(lián)系的) your personality.可知填taste,口味,品味
64.less  考查形容詞的比較級.根據(jù)These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others'personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films.描述,可知在猜測一個(gè)人的個(gè)性的測試中,一個(gè)人在著裝或者電影方面的品味不如在CD方面的品味重要.故填less,較小的,更小的.
65.likely 考查副詞的辨析.根據(jù)第三段The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative.心理學(xué)家做過試驗(yàn)發(fā)現(xiàn)史努比狗狗(嘻哈)的球迷可能會(huì)充滿活力和健談,可知填likely,很可能的.
66.like 考查動(dòng)詞的辨析.根據(jù)題干•People who(66)likerock or pop music are usually independent and adventurous可知這是一個(gè)定語從句,先行詞是people,是復(fù)數(shù),引導(dǎo)詞在句中做主語,結(jié)合句意"喜歡搖滾或流行音樂的人通常是獨(dú)立的和冒險(xiǎn)的."故填like,喜歡.
67.serious 考查形容詞的辨析.根據(jù)最后一段found that Louis Armstrong(jazz) fans tend to(傾向于) be serious and intelligent.可知喜歡爵士樂的人比較嚴(yán)肅聰明,故填serious,嚴(yán)肅的,認(rèn)真的.
68.surprising 考查形容詞的辨析.根據(jù)最后一段The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.可知心理學(xué)家驚訝的發(fā)現(xiàn)…,故填surprising,令人驚奇的.
69.example 考查名詞的辨析.根據(jù)右欄內(nèi)容可知此處指的是舉例內(nèi)容,故填example,例子.
70.Although 考查連詞的辨析.根據(jù)第一段Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other可知蘇和吉姆是五年的鄰居,但他們從來沒有對彼此感興趣,有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故此處填A(yù)lthough,雖然,盡管.
71.something考查代詞的辨析.根據(jù)第一段"I thought we had nothing in common(相同)until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls."可知我認(rèn)為我們沒有共同點(diǎn)直到我在紐約看到他的CD,即他們有一些共同的東西.故填不定代詞something,某物,某事.

點(diǎn)評 首先要通讀全文,了解大意,緊緊抓住上下文所提供的信息,然后明確詞義,詞型,詞的搭配,并按上下文需要作答,然后讀全文,校對答案.

19.It was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse.My family did not know how long he would stay in the world.I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him.As I drove to the hospital,I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me.Trying to fight back the tears,I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.
When I got to the hospital,I hurriedly looked for his hospital room.I found him in a semi-conscious state(半清醒狀態(tài)).On my knees,I said softly,"Hello,Grandpa."
Still feeling shy,I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know.While I asked about how he was,he told me,"I'll be fine,Henry."although we both knew that wasn't true.Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing.
Hearing what my grandpa said,I was much moved.I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him.As I found all the courage(勇氣) I had,I hold his hand tightly.I cried out,"Grandpa,I just want to let you know how much I love you.I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure."By this time,the tears were rolling down my face.All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know,become free.
Smiling,he said,"I know.Thank you for telling me that.""All I have on this planet is my family and my love for them.If there is anything I could ask of you,I want you to be good to your family:your mother,your father,and your brother.That's all I want of you."
From then on,I began telling people how much I loved them,cared for them,and respected them.I get in touch with,for example,my babysitter,my barber,to show my appreciation.I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless.I wake up every morning and list everything I'm thankful to in my life.
