Working on his own by 1680, he became determined to make   22   that could reproduce tones as rich as those produced by the human voice. He  23    several shapes and styles for his violins until he arrived at a design that pleased him. During his career he crafted 1,100 violins. Those in   24   have become treasured possessions.

Answer 1

解析:

21.B以做學(xué)徒開始了他的生涯．a(chǎn)s 放在表示職業(yè)的詞前面，譯為＂當(dāng)；做＂．本題最大的干擾項是with．我們不能說他從一個學(xué)徒開始了他的生涯，應(yīng)該是＂當(dāng)學(xué)徒＂．

22.A violin 是樂器，應(yīng)該是instrument.

23.C 他實驗了幾種形狀和風(fēng)格．意思是他做了不同形狀和風(fēng)格的小提琴并進(jìn)行了實驗（以發(fā)現(xiàn)哪種更好）．A. B只能表明調(diào)查（以獲得事實和信息），experiment 后面要接on, test　有＂實驗；測試＂的意思．

24.B現(xiàn)存的小提琴成了寶貴的財產(chǎn)．因為在介紹250年前一個著名的小提琴制作手，所以用＂現(xiàn)存＂合乎題意．

25.C　Strad 沒有把制作的方法讓人知道，所以是kept his notes safely hidden. 其他的確幾個詞都不能說明他人不知道這個事實．

26.A下面提供了幾種解釋，但都是不太確定的，因此是possible,其他的三個選項都和實際的情況沖突．

27.D.（小提琴獨特的音質(zhì)的）秘密就在于．．．．．．

28.A　＂大師＂，指的是Strad.

29.B化學(xué)家仔細(xì)分析了清漆并發(fā)現(xiàn)清漆的使用改進(jìn)了小提琴的音質(zhì)．a(chǎn)pplication 在這里是＂使用；應(yīng)用＂的意思．要不斷提醒學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)過程中一詞多意的現(xiàn)象，多積累．

30.D still 表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系．從上文中可知有很多種關(guān)于為什么Strad制作的小提琴的音質(zhì)那么獨特的解釋，但卻沒有任何其他人可以完全（讓自己制作的小提琴）發(fā)出同樣的聲音．．
