閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　The decision of the New York philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment．For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a classical-music critic．

　　One of the reason why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known．Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert's appointment in the Times, calls him “an musician with no air of the formidable(令人敬畏的)conductor about him．” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has so far been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise．

　　For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one．To be sure, he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music．All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or open my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes．

　　Devoted concertgoers who reply that recording are no substitute for live performance are missing the point．For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists(演奏家) must compete not only with opera houses, dance groups , theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20 th century．Their recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today's choosing．The widespread availability of such recording has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert．

　　One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on records．Gilbert's own interest in new music has been widely noted：Alex Ross , a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more energetic organization”．But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely, expanding the orchestra's repertoire(曲目)will not be enough．If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America's oldest orchestra and the new audience it hopes to attract．

(1)

We learn from Para 1 that Gilbert's appointment has ________．

[　　]

A．

met with criticism

B．

received applause

C．

raised suspicion

D．

aroused curiosity

(2)

overestimate(高估)the variety of live performance

[　　]

A．

They are often inferior to live concerts in quality

B．

They are easily accessible to the general public

C．

They help improve the quality of music

D．

They have only covered masterpieces

(4)

[　　]

A．

enthusiastic

B．

confident

C．

puzzled

D．

doubtful

For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19 th century, people produced and read books of drawings. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics（漫畫）. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and tiger were brave. The fox and wolf were cunning, greedy and dangerous.

    A century ago, an American newspaper published the first-color comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.

    In modern time, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages.

    Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story.

    Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad. In many comic strips—especially those showing crime of adventure—there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story. 

1. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon character?

  A. Snoopy             B. Garfield         C. Peanuts        D. Woodstock

2. We can know from the first paraphaph that rulers ________.

  A. asked the artists to draw cartoons           B. probably did not like cartoons about them.

C. often drew cartoons many years ago.        D. used cartoons to give people advice.

3. According to the passage, what makes a popular and successful comic strip?

 A. Good plot         B. suitable language      C. clear characters      D. All of above

4. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to ______.

 A. places              B. stories            C. events               D. characters

I’ll call my father tomorrow which is Father’s Day． Every other  1  I call，Morn answers and Dad quietly picks up the  2  and listens in to our conversation．But  3  Father’s Day, we will talk a little about my job，my family and the weather． Then Dad will say，“Thanks for 4    ,son ,”and hang up．
