分析 本文屬于人物傳記,作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了Armstrong成為爵士樂之父的過程,同時Armstrong也是世界上其中一個最受人尊重,最有影響力的音樂大師.

解答 28.B  細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段中的"Musicians often called him Pops,as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music."和第三段中的"In his late teens,Armstrong began to live the life of a musician…Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal."可判斷出Armstrong之所以被稱之為Pops是因為他是具有影響的音樂家,故選B.
29.C  推理判斷題.短文的第三段Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短號) at a boy's home.講述了Armstrong在童年是顯露出音樂天賦、在青少年開始過著音樂家的生活、以后成名,由此可推斷出這一段是按時間順序?qū)懽鞯,故選C.
30.C  細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)最后一段中的"His cornet playing had a deep humanity and warmth that caused many listeners to say,‘Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.'"可知Armstrong的音樂深受人們的歡迎,故選C.
31.D  標(biāo)題選擇題.這篇短文講述了Armstrong成為爵士樂之父的過程,短文的最后一段中的"He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world."點明了這篇短文的主題,所以最好的題目應(yīng)該是:The Father of the Jazz Style,故選D.

點評 考查學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細節(jié)理解題時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.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

7.Nowadays many students like to do the part-time job to increase their social experience.It's wise that students sometimes step out(61)ofthe classroom---after all,they can learn a lot from the world outside the school windows.Let's take a look at(62)what
some teenagers got up to recently when they took a break from the textbooks.

5.This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.(76)BThey annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.(77)CCan you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First,understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.(78)EAnd if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming,try to do it while you are involved in another task-preferably something simple,1ike taking a shower or walking,or even making meaningless drawings.
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate."Mindfulness",being focused,is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.(79)A
Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.(80)F
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A.Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B.They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C.Without wandering minds,we wouldn't have relativity,Coke or Post-it notes.
D.At one time,daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E.It involves slow,steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
F.Therefore,it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.
G.Daydreams are often very simple and direct,quite unlike sleep dreams,which may be hard to understand.
