6.Most musicians agree that the best violins were first made in Gremona,Italy,about 200 years ago.
These violins sound better than any others.They even sound better than violins made today.
Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments(樂器) like the Italian violins.But they aren't the same.Musicians still prefer the old ones.
Some people think it is the age of the violins.But not all old violins from Gremona are special.So age cannot be the answer.
The people think the secret to those violins is the wood.The wood must be from certain kinds of trees.But the kind of wood may not be so important.It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way.Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully.It has to be the right size and shape.The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin.Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians.Maybe they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood.
Size and shape may not be the answer either.Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape.But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones.Some scientists thnk the secret may be the varnish(漆).Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin.It makes the wood shiny.It also helps the sound of the instrument.But no one knows what the Italian makers used in their varnish.

分析 本文介紹了意大利小提琴的密碼,但是研究人員通過各種方法都未能弄清為什么現(xiàn)在只做的小提琴不如那些舊的小提琴音質(zhì)好,人們有各種不同意見.
解答 4.D.主旨大意題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容Most musicians agree that the best violins were first made in Gremona,Italy,about 200 years ago.本文介紹了意大利小提琴的密碼,研究人員通過各種方法都未能弄清為什么現(xiàn)在只做的小提琴不如那些舊的小提琴音質(zhì)好,人們有各種不同意見.結(jié)合選項,故選D.
5.C 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin.Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians.現(xiàn)代小提琴的聲音和意大利小提琴有些許不同,而人們認為意大利小提琴的優(yōu)質(zhì)之處并在于此,由此推測,人們認為現(xiàn)代小提琴的聲音不如意大利小提琴,結(jié)合選項,故選C
6.B.推理題.根據(jù)第三段Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood.The wood must be from certain kinds of trees.描述可知其他人認為意大利的鋼琴制造者知道一些特別的東西,故選B.
7.A.細節(jié)題.根據(jù)最后一段Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape.可知現(xiàn)在和過去在大小和形狀上幾乎是一樣的,故選A.
點評 本文是一個社會文化類閱讀,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).
