16、e was weighing prices,a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia caught my eye.The volumes were beautifully cream-colored.Volume was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dollar purchase.All I could think of while shopping was the book.I stood at the register(收银台) with my mother,holding my breath
17、as the cashier rang up the items.It came to over eleven dollars.My mother produced a five,some singles,and a handful of change.As she was counting out the money,I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia(百科全书).“Could we get one?”I said showing her the display.“Its only ninety-nine cents
18、.”I did not understand my mothers increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount.“Not now,Patricia,”she said sternly.“Today is not a good day.”I packed the groceries and followed her home,upset.The next Saturday,my mother gave me a dolla

22、forming a series of tasks.”可知,游戏中的人物需要完成多项任务。3.D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“C-Shock could be used to guide students through events such as course registration”可知,C-Shock的用户会获得课程注册方面的信息。4.A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The game is in the final stage of development”可知,这款游戏的设计到了收尾阶段。二、【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了流行音乐的相关知识。1.B根据上一句中的Popu
23、lar可知,流行音乐为大多数人所“喜爱(enjoy)”。2.D根据该句中的folk music可知,民间音乐是一些普通人所创作出的“传统的(traditional)”乐曲。3.A根据上一句中的“It is different from folk music.”可知,此处接着说明流行音乐“也(also)”有别于古典音乐。4.C该空后的“rock,country,rap,rhythm and blues (or R&B),the blues and jazz”是列举的流行音乐的几种类型,因此选C项。5.B根据常识可知,流行音乐流行时间不长实属“常见(common)”。6.D根据上一句中“popul
24、ar music to be popular for only a short time”可知,新推出的歌曲经常会“替代(replace)”那些曾经的热门歌曲。7.C根据下一句“The styles of big band,soul and disco are no longer as popular as they once were.”可知,甚至连流行音乐的“类型(types)”也可能会失去人气。8.A上一句中的“no longer as popular as they once were”和该空后的have remained popular之间是转折关系,因此选A项。9.D根据该段首句中
25、的“be popular for only a short time”可知,较这些昙花一现的流行乐曲不同的是,有的歌曲或类型会持续相当长的时间,因此填years才能表达此处的强烈对比。10.B根据上一句中的Popular music以及整篇文章主要介绍流行音乐可知,此处指19世纪时,一些管乐团和旅行音乐团体将“流行(popular)”音乐带给越来越多的群体。11.C根据下一句中的“Songwriters in New York City wrote many popular songs.”和“African Americans created jazz and other new forms
26、of popular music”可知,19世纪末20世纪初,美国是一个“重要的(important)”流行音乐中心。12.A“纽约市的词曲作者写了很多广受欢迎的歌曲”与“非洲裔美国人创作出了爵士和其他形式的流行音乐”之间为并列关系,故填and。13.D根据该句中的phonograph records appeared可知,留声机唱片的出现使得人们能够在家“听(listen to)”音乐。14.B根据上下文介绍流行音乐的发展历程可知,“很快(Soon)”早期的广播电台开始播放流行歌曲。然后在20世纪50年代“出现了(appeared)”摇滚音乐。15.D见上题解析。三、Paragraph 1:

28、r.“An encyclopedia?” he asked,somewhat surprised.“Yes,” I whispered,trembling,“Why didnt you ask your parents to purchase it?”“I did,but they didnt have the money.” With a sigh,he made me promise to tell my parents about my wrongdoing and then let me leave.Paragraph 2:Back home,I told my mother what
29、 I had promised the detective.Unexpectedly,she didnt explode as usual.She fell silent,looking extremely anxious.Consumed with guilt,I gathered my courage,apologized and promised that it would never ever happen again.“All will be OK!” said my mother,wrapping me in her arms.Then she told me that she would go to the A&P to tell the detective I had admitted and that I should play outside.Hours later,when I was back home,I noticed a bag with my name on it.I opened it and packed inside was the World Book Encyclopedia,Volume .
