I first went to hear a live rock concert when I was eight years old. My brother
and his friends were all 36  of a heavy metal group called Black Wednesday. When they 37  that Black Wednesday were going to perform at our local theatre, they all bought 38  for performance. However, at the last minute, one of the friends couldn’t go, so my brother  39  me the ticket. I was really 40 !
I remember the buzz (嘈雜聲) of excitement inside the theatre as we all found our 41 . After a few minutes, the lights went down and everybody became 42 . I could barely make out the stage in the 43 . We waited. Then there was a roar from the crowd, like an explosion, as the first members of the band 44  the stage. My brother leaned over and shouted something in my ear, but I couldn’t 45  what he was saying. The first song was already starting and the music was as 46  as a jet engine. I could 47  the drum beats and bass notes in my stomach.
I can’t recall any of the songs that the band played. I just 48  that I really enjoyed the show and didn’t want it to 49 . But in the end, after three encores (加演), the show finished. We left the 50  and walked unsteadily out onto the pavement. I felt a little dizzy, as if I had just 51  from a long sleep. My ears were still 52  with the beat of the last song.
After the 53  , I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds of music. Once in a while, 54 , I listen to one of their songs and 55  I’m back at that first show.

試題分析：本文是記敘文，講述了作者在八歲時第一次聽現(xiàn)場搖滾音樂會的經(jīng)歷和感受，以及后來也成為那個Black Wednesday樂隊的粉絲，也因此喜歡和走入其他的音樂，但是再聽這個樂隊的樂曲時又會回憶起那個演唱會的情境。
小題1: B 根據(jù)意思：“我的哥哥和他的朋友們都是這個樂隊的______”。根據(jù)下文53空格后面的內(nèi)容說：“我也成為了BW樂隊的粉絲”所以這個空格選擇B“粉絲”。
小題2: C 空格后的that 從句指代“BW樂隊將要在當(dāng)?shù)貏≡貉莩觥边@件事。所以排除A“猜”D“預(yù)測”，而樂隊要來演奏是一件客觀發(fā)生的事情，所以排除“想”因為“想”的賓語一般都是主觀的想法，所以答案是C。
小題3:D 根據(jù)他們得知BW要來開演唱會，，與之相關(guān)的動詞是bought，去“買”的一定是“票”，所以答案是D。
小題4:A 本句意思為：“他的一個朋友無法前往，所以我的哥哥把票______我”�？梢耘懦鼳“預(yù)訂”D“找到”。比較容易誤選C“返回”注意return這個詞指的是“去-回”這個過程，return me the ticket的含義是：原先這張票就是我的，哥哥拿走給朋友了，然后又還給我。這顯然是不對的，所以答案是B“主動給予”。
小題5: B 我要去看演唱會的我很“興奮”，所以答案是B。
小題6:A 句中動詞是found和形容詞是our很重要，該句意思應(yīng)為：“我還記得我們找到我們的______的時候，劇場里全是興奮的嘈雜的聲音”。要注意形容詞“我們的”，排除“入口”“地點”“空間”，這些都是大家的，所以答案是A“座位”。我們買了票，當(dāng)然要找到我們的座位。
小題7:D 語境是：“燈熄滅了，大家都變得______”所以排除“舒服”，“嚴(yán)肅”“緊張”，所以答案是D“安靜”。
小題8:B關(guān)鍵在于make out 的理解，這個動作的賓語是stage，舞臺，燈全黑了，作者應(yīng)該是“分辨不出”舞臺是什么樣子的，所以make out 可以理解為分辨出。所以，作者應(yīng)該處于“黑暗中”，答案是B
小題9: C 句子的主語是member band stage，所以這里的結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)為：“樂隊成員_____舞臺”，所以答案是C“走上”。
小題10: D 哥哥在我耳邊喊了一些什么，但是我不能“聽見”應(yīng)該是最合理的，所以答案是D。
小題11: A 在as……as的結(jié)構(gòu)中，表示和……一樣，所以與之相關(guān)的名詞是music 和jet engine，表示音樂和噴氣式飛機的引擎之間的共同點，這種共同點點一定是“響”，所以答案是A。注意引擎是不會具備“快”特點的。用“快”來形容的應(yīng)該是噴氣式飛機。
小題12:C 該句意思應(yīng)為：“我客觀上有能力______鼓聲和貝斯音符在我的肚子里”。所以排除B“觸摸”D“消化”。比價容易誤選C“享受”，這個詞的排除比價有難度。首先，享受這個動作是主觀上的，而句子末尾的in my stomach顯然是一個客觀上的部位，我們的肚子是沒有辦法享受音樂的。其次，這一句話緊接在上一句話后面，上一句話的內(nèi)容強調(diào)的是音樂很響，這一句話應(yīng)該還是在進一步解釋音樂響到什么樣的程度才比較合理，而“享受”這個動詞強調(diào)的是音樂很美，沒有在強調(diào)很響。
小題13:D 該句應(yīng)為：“我想不起他們演奏過的歌曲，我只______我很享受他們的演出”。所以答案是D“記得”。
小題14: B didn’t want與之相關(guān)的名詞是it，所以這里的結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)為：“我很享受他們的演出，不想讓演出______”。所以答案是B“結(jié)束”。
小題15: A演出結(jié)束，我們離開的地方一定是“劇院”，所以選擇A
小題16: C 句意應(yīng)為：“我們好像從睡夢中______”所以答案是C“醒來”�！疤用摗薄奥眯小薄矮@益”都和sleep不能構(gòu)成主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)。
小題17: D 句意應(yīng)為：“我的耳邊______最后一首歌曲的節(jié)奏”所以答案是D“回響”。
小題18: B performance“演出”這個詞是全文的主旋律，一群瘋狂粉絲看一場演出，演出之后又多了一個瘋狂粉絲的故事，performance這個詞在文中多次出現(xiàn)，此題難度不高。
小題19: D 前一句話的含義是“我也成為了一個BW的粉絲”空格之后說的是“我會時不時聽一聽他們的歌”所以兩句話之間不可能是讓步關(guān)系; “否則”“替換”，所以答案是D besides的原義是“除了…還有”，表示遞進，進一步闡釋我成為BW粉絲后的狀態(tài)。
小題20: C 四個動作的賓語是I’m back at that first show表示“我回到了第一次演出的時候”，實際上我永遠也無法回到第一次演出的時候，所以這句話的內(nèi)容是虛假的，所以選擇C“想象”。只有這個動詞后面可以加虛假內(nèi)容。而“決定”“后悔”“總結(jié)”都不合適。
點評：本文講述了作者在八歲時第一次聽現(xiàn)場搖滾音樂會的經(jīng)歷和感受，以及后來也成為那個Black Wednesday樂隊的粉絲，也因此喜歡和走入其他的音樂，但是再聽這個樂隊的樂曲時又會回憶起那個演唱會的情境。這類文章一般描述的是某一件具體事情的發(fā)生發(fā)展或結(jié)局，有人物、時間、地點和事件。命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件的之間的關(guān)系、作者的態(tài)度及意圖、故事前因和后果的推測等方面著手，考查學(xué)生對細節(jié)的辨認能力以及推理判斷能力。閱讀這類材料時，同學(xué)們一定要根據(jù)主要情節(jié)掌握文章主旨大意，同時抓住每一個細節(jié)，設(shè)身處地根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖，根據(jù)情節(jié)展開想象，即使是碰到深層理解題也可迎刃而解。

Norah had a cottage on a cliff（懸崖）above a big bay. In winter it could be very unpleasant because of strong winds and sea waves. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent wind might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.
Also, the salt wave from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for the couple. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.
This went on for several years. Norah didn’t wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.
Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”
“What’s that?” asked Norah.

Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding of black culture in America.
During the 1940’s and the 1950’s, Gwendolyn Brooks used her poems to describe conditions among the poor, racial (種族的) inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.
But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.
Gwendolyn Brooks once said that she wrote about what she saw and heard in the street. She said she found most of her materials through looking out of the window of her second-floor apartment in Chicago, Illinois.
In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago, where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was “A Street in Bronzeville” that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skills and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.
In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called “Annie Allen”. “Annie Allen” is a collection of poetry about a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and a mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and poverty (貧窮).
Gwendolyn Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.
Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called “Maud Martha”. “Maud Martha” attracted little attention when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult lives of many women are popular among female writers today.                                                      
小題1:Gwendolyn Brooks became world-famous because     .
A．she was an expert on the language of poetry
B．she introduced black culture by writing poems
C．she fought for black rights by writing poems
D．her poems showed the lives of black women

A．By observing life.B．By having talks.

Whenever we do something wrong, Jesus Christ sees it. He loves us and doesn’t say it. Perhaps he’s wondering how long we’ll keep our mind suffering. A little boy named Johnny was visiting his grandparents on their farm and he was given a slingshot(彈弓) to play with out in the woods. He  36  for some time but he could never hit the target he had set for himself. Getting a little  37 , he walked back to the farmhouse for dinner. As he was _   38 back, he saw Grandpa’s pet duck. Just out of   39 , he let the slingshot fly , hitting it in the head ,and killed it. In a panic, he    40 the dead duck in the woodpile, only to see his sister Sally   41  be watching him. Sally had seen all this, but she said _42 . After lunch that day Grandma said, “Sally, it’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.” And then she spoke _43 to him, “Remember the duck？” So Johnny did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if  44  wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to help me make supper.” But Sally just smiled and said, “Well, that’s all right because Johnny told me he was too   45 to help you. And she whispered again, “Remember the duck?” So Sally went fishing and Johnny  46 to help make supper. After several days of doing both his 47 and Sally’s, Johnny finally couldn’t 48 it any longer. He came to his Grandma and told her that he had killed the duck .Grandma smiled and gave him a big 49 . “Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was watering the flowers at the window   50  I saw you shoot my duck with the slingshot, and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I  51 you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally  52_ of you.”
In reality, no matter how  53__or how uncomfortable it is to admit our wrongdoing, we should always choose to  54 it and work it through instead of running away from it. Hard as it is, it  55  us and makes us who we are.

It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. Then he cast them on the earth, where few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal --- the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and remorse. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts.
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads --- one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.
He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “O youth, return! O my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I’ll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.
He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall down from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year’s Night.
The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back!”
And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year’s Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
