9.In Shanghai's Grand Theater,a fashionable,mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage.He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves.Blowing on one of the leaves,he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song.Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.
It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater.But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin,a Cantonese-born singer,who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music.
In 2009,after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador,Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups.In the course other four-month trip,she recorded more than a thousand songs.But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old,and some of the music was at risk of dying out.
"I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard-it was so good,"she says."But it needed support.I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times."
So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience.By doing this,she hopes to rekindle(點燃) the interest of the younger generation."Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs.They think these songs are something their grandma sings.This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage."
Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots."China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音樂學(xué)院) Western classical music is the top,"she says."For China to really contribute to the world,we need to go on our own path.So what can represent China today?"The answer,she suggests,is to move from"made in China"to"created in China".
61.From the first paragraph,we learn thatB.
A.the audience are all young people
B.Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk music
C.Guo Yong is the only minority performer on the stage
D.tree branches make good musical instruments

63.Zhu Zheqin travelled to some of China's remotest regions toA
A.record the traditional ethnic music
B.help the local musicians play the music
C.show the UN Chinese musical traditions
D.enjoy the music of various ethnic groups

A.It is completely out of date.      
B.Only old musicians play it well.
C.It needs changes to attract young people.              
D.It is quickly dying out.
65.What does Zhu Zheqin mean in the last paragraph?D

B.Chinese conservatories shouldn't teach Western music.
C.China has contributed a lot to the Western art.
D.Only the things created in China can be symbols of China.

點評 人物故事類閱讀理解文章是高考英語?疾牧现唬@類文章一般可分為人物傳記和短篇故事兩類.這兩類閱讀材料一般較長,即詞數(shù)多,而且命題也較多,特別是推理判斷題和事實細節(jié)題多.在做此類閱讀理解題時往往是材料看得懂,題目不好做的感覺.因此,在閱讀材料時要重點放在事情發(fā)展的過程和結(jié)果上,注意把握事件的發(fā)展進程及人物之間的關(guān)系,細節(jié)與主題的關(guān)系,用以說明人物性格特點的事實、作者的態(tài)度等,這些內(nèi)容往往是推理判斷題的命題點.至于事實細節(jié)題的解答,同學(xué)們切忌想當(dāng)然或者憑印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.

14.   Windsurfing is a sport that combines sailing and surfing.In 1948,twenty-year-old Newman Darby first thought of using a handheld sail to contro1a small boat.Darby did not apply for a patent(專利)for his design at first.However,he is recognized as the inventor of the first sailboard.

Naomi Darby,Newman's wife,was the first woman windsurfer and helped her husband build and design the first sailboard.She sailed while standing up,controlling the boat without the use of a rudder.She tilted(傾斜)the sail to change directions.This was something that had never been done before.
Hoyle Schweitzer began producing sailboards in the early 1970s.The sport became very popular in Europe.By the late 1970s,windsurfing fever had Europe firmly in its grasp with one in every three families having a sailboard.
The first windsurfing world championship was held in 1973.Windsurfing first became an Olympic sport for men in l984and for women in l992.

45.Jim Drake and Hoyle Schweitzer received the patent for the design ofA.
A.a(chǎn) sailboard called windsurfer    B.a(chǎn) kite-shaped free sail

18.I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival.She lives on the other side of the world,and I went to visit her,not wanting to leave,and feeling like I was leaving home against my will.But I wanted to show her my support,because she is my only sister.
So I boarded the plane in mid-August,and hated the long flight.I had left my husband of 2years,alone,in our old New Orleans house.
I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival,on Sunday morning,when I received a call from Chicago.The hurricane was predicted to hit our city,and many had already escaped.But my husband chose to stay behind.He could not get a call to me on the other side of the world,but he could call his cousin in Chicago.He gave his cousin a message for me,that he would be just fine,and not to worry.
As the day wore on,I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans,and I realized,thanks to CNN,that New Orleans was under water.
I performed,hoping that my husband would survive.And I performed perfectly.The audience stood and cheered for me.I rushed off the stage and straight to the TV.I saw the street sign near my home,of Humanity Street,but nothing below it,except water.
In the days that followed,I found out that my house,my car,my clothes,my furniture,everything that I'd left behind was gone…but not my husband.He survived by riding on the back bumper(保險杠) of a VW bus,holding on to the overhead luggage shelf,in the pouring rain,down the highway from New Orleans,half-way to Baton Rouge.The rest of the journey was a long walk.But he survived.
By the first week of September,I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport,and hugged my husband.Since then,our relationship has grown deeper,we have completely repaired our house,bought a new car,bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational,spirit-filled church.

35.Why did the writer go to Europe?C
A.To spend her holidays there.
B.To present a music festival.
C.To help her sister in a music festival.
D.To participate in a game.
36.How did the writer know that her husband remained at home when the hurricane took place?A
A.Through the call from her husband's cousin.
B.Through the call from her husband.
C.Through the text message from the cousin.
D.Through the text message from her husband.
37.How long did the writer stay in Europe?B
A.2years.
B.About 2weeks.
C.About 2months.
D.2days.
38.What can we know from the passage?D
A.The writer performed badly in the music festival.
B.The writer was too busy to care about her husband.
C.The hurricane disaster didn't affect the couple's life.
