19、 Since( ) 19. A. meanB. seemC. concludeD. say( ) 20. A. directed B. guidedC. taughtD. limited【答案与解析】这是一篇叙事性的文章，作者采用倒叙的手法，讲述了英国著名聋女乐器打击手Evelyn Glennie克服困难成功的故事，阐明了只要有激情，敢于尝试，就能成功的主题。1. B. 考点是：名词词义。综合整个语篇及文章最后一段 “I would encourage people not to allow”的提示，可知作者虽身残而志坚，挑战世俗，大胆尝试，最终获得成功，可知最佳答案为B项。2. C. 考点是
20、：动词词义。文中take piano lessons 为动词搭配，表示：上(听)钢琴课之意，故排除其它三个干扰项。3. B. 考点是：名词词义。由下文“I was completelydeaf ”；“notas a deaf musician”；“ Iwastotally deaf” 处可知作者年幼失聪 (hearing)。4. D. 考点是：名词词义辨析。根据文章，医生断言神经受损是作者耳聋的原因所在，而非产生的结果，故排除B项，A项表示：证据，C项表示：借口，均不符合文意。5. A. 考点是：动词词义辨析。从文中可知，作者虽患耳疾，但年纪愈长，对音乐的热情也愈涨，再由but一词的暗示，可敲
21、定left为正确答案。6. D. 考点是：名词词义辨析。根据文意，作者的人生目标是要成为一名打击乐器独奏演员，所以D为正确答案，A项表示: 意图，B项表示: 决定，C项表示: 诺言，均不准确。7. B. 考点是：动词词义辨析。由文中可知，由于听力丧失，作者无法用耳朵去听音乐，所以只能尝试学会以“另类”的方式去感悟音乐，选项B恰好表示: 学习、习得之意，符合文意。8. A. 考点是：动词词义辨析。由上文可知，作者无法象常人一样去听音乐，就想出只穿着袜子不穿鞋，利用身体的震动来感知音乐，分辨音调高低。其中can与tell连用，正好表达“分辨”、“辨别”之意，为正确答案。9. C. 考点是：名词词义
22、辨析。根据文意和句子结构可判断，只有C项imagination (想象力)为正确答案。10. A. 考点是：名词词义辨析。根据上文, 作者听力丧失，所以只能协调其它的感官去“听”音乐。故A项为正确答案。11. C. 考点是：形容词词义辨析此处表达作者要立志成为音乐家，所以不难选出determine一词，其他三项dissatisfied, astonished, discouraged因感情色彩与文章主旨明显不符，而不能入选。12. A. 考点是：副词词义辨析。作者耳患顽疾，且又申请著名的伦敦皇家音乐学院去学习，这在当时是没有哪个聋哑学生能够做到的，故此题选A为宜。13. D. 考点是：动词词义
23、辨析。由上下文语境，再加上衔接词and（注意文中没用but,说明此处表示并列，而非转折）可推知，作者的行为自然要受到老师的反对。此处学生易误选support一词而造成语意前后矛盾，以致偏离主题。14. B. 考点是：副词词义辨析。从文中可知，作者大胆尝试，抵制压力，克服困难，最终考入皇家音乐学院，所以B项（最终地）为正确答案。15. C. 考点是：动词词义辨析。由第四段最后一句可知，应是作者毕业时获得学院最高荣誉奖，其它三项不妥。16. A. 考点是：动词词义辨析。根据文章，作者经过不懈努力，后来成为第一位专职打击音乐独奏演员，再由下句“had been written specially f
24、or solo percussionists.”中write一词的同义复现，可确定上句答案为A项。17. D. 考点是：不定代词词义辨析。考查代词词义，根据上下文逻辑，在此作者想表达很少有人来专门为打击音乐独奏演员来谱曲，所以出现上文作者挺身而出，竭力为演员们来谱曲，所以此题D项为正确答案。18. B. 考点是：连词用法。根据上下文逻辑，可知此处应使用表示转折的关联词，选项A (however)虽然表示转折含义，但不用做连词，不能连接句子，故排除。所以B项为正确答案。19. A. 考点是：动词词义辨析。根据文意和句式结构（此句为双重否定句）可知，mean表示：“意味着”，为最佳答案。20. D
25、. 考点是：动词词义辨析。作者通过自身经历劝导人们不要为别人的思想而束缚自己，故D项 (limited表示：限制)为最佳答案。第二部分阅读理解训练阅读理解训练Self-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States.
