I met this guy who told me an amazing story. He was 1 Scotland on a motorbike by himself. One late afternoon he was on the road between Aberdeen and Elgin. He was travelling along, miles from any village, when he saw a really 2 girl standing by the road, hitch hiking (沿途搭車). Anyway, he stopped and said he would give her a 3 to Elgin. She got on and he drove off. He said he 4 having her on the back, as it was nice 5 . But after a time he forgot that she was there. Suddenly he 6 her, but he realized that he couldn't feel her knees 7 against him! He 8 behind him but… she wasn't there.

　　He said he felt frightened 9 his life! He felt cold all over. He thought she must have 10 off the back. So he turned round and 11 back along the road. He didn't find her. He went to see if she had crawled (爬) into a field or something. But he didn't find her. So he began to think that she might have been 12 by someone else.

　　Anyway, he drove on towards Elgin and didn't see anyone 13 he came to a pub. He decided to 14 so that he could talk to someone and he thought he ought to tell 15 . He went into a pub and talked to the barman. He told the barman what had happened. He said the barman didn't seem to be at all 16 . He just carried on 17 the glasses.

　　Then the barman said, “You're not the 18 person to come in here and tell the same 19 . That girl you think you picked up 20 seven years ago… in a motorbike accident.”

答案：A;D;B;D;C;C;A;C;A;D;C;A;B;C;A;B;D;A;A;C
解析：

　　1．touring旅行，searching搜尋，defending防御，circling圍繞．此文中從Aberdeen到Elgin是一段行程，因此應(yīng)選A．

　　2．從下文he liked having her on the back， as it was nice company，就可以判斷這個(gè)女子是“漂亮”、“很吸引人”的．

　　3．give sb．a lift固定搭配，意思是“讓某人搭車”．

　　4．因?yàn)橄挛闹惺?/FONT>nice，因此他應(yīng)該是愿意讓她坐在他的后面的．

　　5．company此處的意思是“做伴”．

　　6．此處選remembered和上句中的forgot對應(yīng)．

　　7．因?yàn)槭球T摩托車帶人，所以后面的人的膝蓋會碰到前面騎車的人，因此應(yīng)該是pressing against．

　　8．騎摩托車的人不可能往后面看，只能感覺后面是否有人．

　　9．frightened out of one's life“某人嚇得要命”．

　　10．fall off the back從車上掉下來了．因?yàn)樗]有意識到發(fā)生過什么，所以只能是一種偶然．

　　11．他掉轉(zhuǎn)了車頭，往回開，不可能是walked， watched，而raced是“比賽”的意思，所以最佳選項(xiàng)為C．

　　12．因?yàn)樯衔闹刑岬侥莻�(gè)女人是搭車的，因此當(dāng)他發(fā)現(xiàn)找不到那個(gè)女人時(shí)，就認(rèn)為是她又搭上了其他什么人的車．

　　13．until連詞，表示這種狀況持續(xù)到他來到一個(gè)酒吧，意思是直到到了一個(gè)酒吧他才見到可以說話的人．

　　14．因?yàn)樗芷惹械叵牒褪裁慈苏f說這件事，所以他決定停下來．

　　15．此處他只是想找人說說這件奇怪的事，并沒有什么特定的對象．

　　16．從下文得知，酒店的主人以前就聽說過這件事，因此并不感到驚訝．

　　17．酒店主人的工作之一應(yīng)該是“擦干杯子”，而不可能是breaking，waving，knocking．

　　18．從酒店主人毫不驚訝的反應(yīng)可以得知，這個(gè)小伙子不是第一個(gè)講述這個(gè)故事的人．

　　19．story可以表示“故事”、“經(jīng)歷”等．

　　20．從下文中的motorbike accident及上文中的女子神秘消失可以判斷，這個(gè)

閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　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)

The author believes that the devoted concertgoers ________．

[　　]

A．

reject most kinds of recorded performance

B．

fail to recognize the variety of live performance

C．

overestimate(高估)the variety of live performance

D．

ignore the expense of live performance

(3)

According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?

[　　]

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)

Regarding Gilbert's role in revitalizing( 振興) the Philharmonic, the author feels ________

[　　]

A．

enthusiastic

B．

confident

C．

puzzled

D．

doubtful
