A.herproblemwithmusichadbeendiagnosedearlierB.shewereseventeenyearsoldratherthanseventyC.herproblemcouldbeeasilyexplainedD.shewereabletomeetotheramusics答案A解析推理推斷題。本段最終一句說“我希望我在十七歲的時候就學會說No,thanks,I’mamusic這句話,而不是到了七十歲才學會”。因此,她希望她年輕的時候,就可以有現(xiàn)在這樣的診斷。15.Whatisthepassagemainlyconcernedwith?A.Amusics’strangebehaviours.B.Somepeople’sinabilitytoenjoymusic.C.Musicaltalentandbrainstructure.D.Identificationandtreatmentofamusics.答案B解析主旨大意題。全文主要講解并描述的是不寵愛聽音樂的一類人,被稱之為amusic,他們之前都沒有得到統(tǒng)一的診斷或者相識,直到現(xiàn)在才被人們發(fā)覺。因此選B項。其次節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)依據(jù)短文內容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。16EverydayImustspendsometimelisteningtothemusic.OnceIamaddictedtothebeautifultune,Iforgetallofthetensionaroundme.ItseemsthatIhaveenteredintoanotherworldandthenconsidereverythinginanotherway.AfterIreturntothereallife,Icanputmyheartintostudyagain.Theymakemenolongerbetiredofthereallife.17WhenIwanttotakeexercise,thereisarockmusicsounding.Maybethefanaticism(狂熱)couldnotbeimaginedbyotherpeople.
