A writer can write many songs.Sometimes a writer's favorite song isn't his most successful one.“Walking in the Sun”is a good example.It's not my most successful song but it is very meaningful to me.
My father was blind since he was about 6 years old.He was an insurance broker (保險(xiǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人).He did most of his work at home in Brooklyn,New York.Most of his sales were done on the phone.And he was really good at it.Sometimes,though,he had to go to the offices in Manhattan.
One day, when I was about 13.I went to the offices in Manhattan with him.We were on the way to the subway station and I remember it was the end of the day.It was a little cold.My dad asked if the sun was out on the other side of the street.I said.“Yes.”He said.“Let's walk on that side of the street.”
Many years later when I was probably 30,I was writing songs for myself. I had an office at A&M Records and they wanted me to record(錄制)some of my songs. I thought about that day and“Walking in the Sun”.It's very simple. It says that when things are very negative,you need to know when they get better.At the end of the song, it says:Even a blind man can tell when he's walking in the sun.
I was the first person to record it but I'm very moved(感動(dòng)的)because it's also been sung by many famous singers.I think people like it because they can tell it comes from a place of sincerity(真誠).
(1)“Walking in the Sun”is the writer's
A.first song

【答案】
(1)B
(2)D
(3)D
(4)C
(5)C
【解析】本文主要講的是一個(gè)作家可以寫很多歌,有時(shí)作家最喜歡的歌不是他最成功的一首。我的父親他是一名保險(xiǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人。他大部分的作品在布魯克林區(qū)、紐約的家。他大部分的銷售都在手機(jī)上完成的,當(dāng)事情很消極的時(shí)候,你需要知道他們什么時(shí)候會(huì)好起來。我記錄的第一人,但我非常感動(dòng)因?yàn)樗被許多著名歌手唱的。我認(rèn)為人們喜歡它是因?yàn)樗麄兛梢愿嬖V它來自一個(gè)地方的誠意。
(1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Sometimes a writer's favorite song isn't his most successful one.“Walking in the Sun”is a good example.It's not my most successful song but it is very meaningful to me.可知在陽光下散步是作者最喜歡的歌。故選B。
(2)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)He did most of his work at home in Brooklyn,New York.可知他的父親大多數(shù)時(shí)間在家工作。故選D。
(3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I went to the offices in Manhattan with him.We were on the way to the subway station and I remember it was the end of the day.可知那天是指和它的父親去曼哈頓的那天。故選D。
(4)詞義推斷題。根據(jù)It's very simple. It says that when things are very negative,you need to know when they get better.可知這個(gè)詞是不好的意思。故選C。
(5)主旨大意題。本文主要講的是有時(shí)作家最喜歡的歌不是他最成功的一首,“在陽光下散步”就是一個(gè)很好的例子,我在A&M唱片公司,他們希望我的記錄有一個(gè)辦公室錄制我的一些歌。我想那一天,“陽光”走。這很簡單。它說當(dāng)事情很消極的時(shí)候,你需要知道他們什么時(shí)候會(huì)好起來?芍宋氖窃诮忉屵@首歌。故選C。
