30、岁时，杰米特纳听到父亲在餐桌上用一玻璃杯水演奏音乐，开始对玻璃竖琴产生兴趣。据此可知，D项正确。2D考查细节理解。根据第四段第三、四句“He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound”可知，杯子中的水量不同，产生的音调也不同；添加或去掉少量水就会改变声音。据此可知，玻璃竖琴的声音受杯子中水量的影响，故D项正确。3B考查细节理解。根据第五段第一句
31、“Turner always uses lowpriced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound”可知，特纳总是使用低价玻璃杯是因为其声音听起来比昂贵的水晶杯好听，故B项正确。4A考查主旨大意。根据第一段“Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical
32、instrument, the glass harp(竖琴)，near Alexandrias historic waterfront”并结合全文其他内容可知，本文主要讲述了一位音乐家为人群演奏玻璃竖琴的故事。故A项最适合作本文标题。B体裁：说明文题材：健康主题：保护听力【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了听力受损的原因以及如何预防听力受损。【难句分析】Often, headphone users fail to realize theyre listening to audio at unsafe levels until serious hearing problems suddenl

34、可能导致听力丧失。6B考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Early prevention, early identification and early treatment”可知，Yang Shiming建议人们提前预防来应对听力丧失。7A考查词义猜测。根据画线词后一句中的“Once the hearing loss occurs. what it was before”可知，一旦听力受损，回到以前的状态已为时太晚，画线词所在句表示不论是先天的还是后天的，听力丧失通常是不可挽回的，由此可推知，画线词与A项含义相近。8D考查主旨大意。根据文章第一段第二句，并结合文章其他内容可知，文章围绕听力受损这
35、一主题展开，分析了听力受损的原因，并给出了建议，以提高人们保护听力的意识。故D项适合作本文标题。.七选五体裁：说明文题材：环境保护主题：更节能的听音乐方式【语篇解读】当今的数字技术给我们带来了完美无瑕的音乐品质。它还使复制、上传和用串流收听音乐变得更容易，而且不需要下载。但这种音乐的消费方式耗能更多。因此，研究人员希望能找到更加可持续的方式来节约能源。1D根据空前的“It also makes it easier to copy, upload and stream music without having to download it”可知，它还使复制、上传和用串流收听音乐变得更容易，且不需
36、要下载。故D项“因此，流媒体音乐变得流行起来”符合语境。2A根据空后的“logic would suggest that music downloads and online streaming are good for the environment”可知，从逻辑上讲，音乐下载和在线流媒体对环境是有好处的。由此可推知空处应是说明数字音乐在环境方面的优点，所以选A项。3C由前一句“In fact, the information is searched and sent to our electronic devices across the network，which costs energ
37、y”可知，实际上，信息是通过网络搜索并发送到我们的电子设备上的，这需要消耗能源，故C项符合语境，衔接上文。4B根据空处前后的“2.5 million streams”“210,000 albums worth of music”可知，如果一般的专辑包含12首歌曲，那就意味着差不多210 000张专辑对应平台上的250万首乐曲流量，故选B项。5G根据下文可知，他们是想让你思考你的能量使用，并选择对地球最小影响的服务。且他们想发展不失去所期望的便利的更加可持续的方式，故G项符合语境。.语法填空体裁：说明文题材：社会文化主题：中国发生的巨大变化【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，苏格兰摄影师布鲁斯康诺利自

39、始不断在中国各地旅行。该空在句中作伴随状语，且和其逻辑主语Connolly之间为主动关系，故填starting。4答案与解析：has traveled考查时态和主谓一致。句意：自从那时候，他游遍了除福建、浙江和江西以外的中国大部分地区。时间状语为Since then，这是现在完成时的标志，主语he与travel是主动关系，故填has traveled。5答案与解析：what考查宾语从句。句意：康诺利在中国旅行期间，发现了中国并不是他在照片中看到的样子，照片中显示的中国人在穿着和行事上都非常谨慎。该空引导宾语从句，且从句中缺少saw的宾语，指代事物，故填what。6答案与解析：Instead考查
40、副词。句意：他看到的反而是人们很友好、热情，而且穿着颜色鲜亮的衣服。根据语境可知，空后的表述与上文内容形成对比，表示“反而，取而代之的是”，故填Instead。注意首字母大写。7答案与解析：friendly考查形容词。句意见上一题解析。该空作were的表语，修饰people，应用形容词，故填friendly。8答案与解析：curiosities考查名词。句意：在他早年的旅行中，大多数中国人看到外国人都觉得很新鲜，但是现在这种情况在北京和上海等城市中已经改变了，外国人已不再是令人好奇的人物了。该空表示“令人好奇的人或物”，应填名词，curiosity是可数名词，主语为foreigners，是复数概念，故填curiosities。9答案与解析：the考查冠词。句意：康诺利在中国所感受到的另外一个巨大变化是新技术的广泛使用。此处特指新技术的广泛使用，故填the。10答案与解析：their考查代词。句意：人们现在用智能手机就能做一切事情，几乎已经不使用现金了。该空后有名词，应用形容词性物主代词，表示“他们的”，故填their。- 8 - 版权所有高考资源网
