11.Taylor Swift was born on December 13,1989,in Wyomissing,Pennsylvania.Swift's family ran a farm."I had her sitting on a small horse when she was nine months old,"said Swift's mother."If my dream had gone well,she'd be in a horse show right now."The only obvious forerunner (先驅(qū)) of Swift's musical talent was her grandmother,an opera singer.
That talent showed itself early:when the family went to see a Disney musical film,Swift would come out of the theater singing all the songs correctly.At the age of 11,she sang"The Star-Spangled Banner"at a Philadelphia 76ers game.The experiences during her pre-teen years encouraged the creativity to go with Swift's talent.As a child,she attended the academically competitive Wyndcroft School in Pottstown,but then switched to public schools in Wyomissing.Although it was her hometown,she didn't know any of her classmates,and she was terrified.Swift began to understand the storytelling feature of country songs,and put her feelings into songs of her own.
One of her future hits,"The Outside",was written when she was only 12."I wrote that about the scariest feeling I've ever felt:going to school,looking at those faces,and not knowing who you're gonna talk to that day,"she said."In the music,I could never feel the kind of rejection (拒絕) that I felt in middle school."Swift's parents quickly realized that they had someone special on their hands.They sold their farm when she was 13 and moved the family to Hendersonville,Tennessee.
Swift had the ability,above all,to put feelings into words with accuracy (準(zhǔn)確) far beyond her years.In"Our Song"she wrote,"Our song is the slamming screen door,going out late,tapping on your window."In the summer of 2006,"Tim McGraw"came out,and almost from the beginning the 16-year-old Taylor Swift was a star.

分析 文章講述了著名音樂(lè)家Taylor Swift 從小就對(duì)音樂(lè) 有著驚人的天賦并在學(xué)習(xí)的道路上付出的努力.

解答 18-21 CADD
18.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段這句話when the family went to see a Disney musical film,Swift would come out of the theater singing all the songs correctly看出,小時(shí)候去看電影時(shí),她能把歌曲全部正確唱出來(lái),所以很小就表現(xiàn)出在音樂(lè)上的天賦,故答案為C.
19.A 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)Although it was her hometown,she didn't know any of her classmates,and she was terrified.這句話,雖然在家鄉(xiāng)上學(xué),但是她不認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)同學(xué),這使她感到害怕,故答案為A.
20.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.Swift's parents quickly realized that they had someone special on their hands.They sold their farm when she was 13 and moved the family to Hendersonville,Tennessee這句話告訴我們父母意識(shí)她在音樂(lè)上很有天賦后,變搬了家,故答案為D.
21.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.最后一段第一話話Swift had the ability,above all,to put feelings into words with accuracy 告訴我們她將自己所有的感情都投入到歌曲之中,推出她是在用音樂(lè)來(lái)講述故事,故答案為D.在文章中是小時(shí)候去看Disney電影并能唱其中的歌曲,并不是為該電影唱歌,所以A錯(cuò)誤;The Outside",was written when she was only 12是在12歲是創(chuàng)作了,并不是發(fā)行,B錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)19題可知在這個(gè)學(xué)校是她最困難的時(shí)間,所以D錯(cuò)誤.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀,題目涉及詞義猜測(cè)題,主旨大意題,細(xì)節(jié)理解題.做題時(shí)學(xué)生應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀原文,把握文章主要內(nèi)容,聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項(xiàng)含義,從中選出正確答案,一定要做到有理有據(jù),切忌胡亂猜測(cè).

2.Ann Makosinski,16,was just another teenager with another science project when she joined her local science fair(展覽會(huì)) in Victoria,Canada.Her invention,a flashlight that is powered from hand heat,took second place at the competition.
"It's a very simple project,"said Arthur Makosinski,Ann's father."Let's move on and do something different."
But if Ann had left her project,the world may have missed out on a light source that doesn't use batteries,solar power or wind energy.
Two years ago,Ann found that a friend of hers in the Philippines didn't have electricity.According to Ann,her friend couldn't complete her homework and was failing in school."So I wanted to do something to help my friend in the Philippines,"said Ann.
Ann got to work.After a few experiments,her"hollow flashlight"was born.It shines for as long as you hold onto it.At the suggestion of Kate Paine,her ninth grade biology teacher,Ann submitted her flashlight into the Google Science Fair.

And then there's the business of changing the original design for market.At about 24lumens (流明;光束強(qiáng)度單位),Ann's flashlight's brightness falls shy of commercial flashlights.
Of her efforts to increase her flashlight's efficiency,she said,"I want to make sure my flashlight is available to those who really need it."

D.He thought it would be hard to carry out.
30.Ann decided to work on the flashlightC.
A.a(chǎn)t the request of her friend
B.under her parents'encouragement
C.a(chǎn)fter learning about her friend's situation
D.to help people who lack access to electricity

A.he was a little careless
B.he was shocked by the result
C.he was delighted at the result

1.High heels,coffee cups and dogs have been regarded as three of the most dangerous things to have in a car.The seemingly harmless items have been responsible for more than 13million crashes and near misses on Britain's roads.
While men were responsible for the greater number of accidents reported,women played their part by driving in high heels.Putting fashion over function meant 44percent of female motorists had been prevented from using the pedals correctly by their high heels-with those aged 25to 34accounting for most of the incidents reported.
Those keen for a caffeine kick while driving can also create an accident if they leave empty coffee cups lying around their vehicle.Twenty percent of those surveyed admitted they had crashed their car or had a near miss after a deserted coffee cup or empty drink bottle rolled under their brake pedal(剎車踏板).
However,it is not just wearing and eating that cause a threat from inside the car,man's best friend could also cause a catastrophe if not safely secured.One in eight motorists claimed to have had a scrape(刮檫)or near miss on the road due to their dog's wandering freely,climbing into the front seat or trying to escape through the windows.
The accidents meant drivers took their eyes off the road for more than three seconds each time,according to the poll of 2,000British motorists.The survey has found drivers will pick up an average bill of£261.47for the damage caused by every crash.Londoners were the most at risk of an accident closely followed by motorists in the West Midland and Wales.
Janet Connor,a managing director,said many accidents could be avoided if people cleaned their cars regularly,as one in ten drivers involved in crashes admitted to driving inside a mountain of debris.She said,"The possible dangers and distractions outside the car are well known but as the evidence suggests,those within the car are often forgotten."

46.What mistake do women drivers most probably make while driving?B
A.They wear expensive clothes.
B.They wear shoes with high heels.
C.They drink too much coffee in cars
D.They take their dog without trying it.
47.Those who like drinking coffee often have accidents becauseC.
A.the coffee may make them feel faint
B.the coffee may make the car smell terrible
C.the deserted coffee cups may make the brake fail
D.the deserted coffee cups may look the same as brake pedals
48.Why shouldn't drivers put their dogs in the car while driving?C
A.Dogs may bark loudly when they see the traffic lights.
B.Dogs may make the inside of the car dirty.
C.Dogs may walk around or even try to escape.
D.Dogs may break the window to get fresh air.
