30、part in music education.”和 第三段中的“Music programs in public schools also help to add to a students sense of pride and selfconfidence.”可以推断 出音乐既可以有助于学生的学业成绩，又可以有益于学生的心理健 康，选项 D 音乐对学生的学业成绩和精神健康有利，切题，故选 D。 4.A标题判断题。文章的第一段中的“But without them， students academic (学术的)growth and spiritual health could suffer
31、.In fact，music classes are necessary for all students in schools.”可知，作者认为音乐课是重要的，这是文章的主旨， 第 10页（共 13页） 文章的标题要体现主旨，选项 A 学校里音乐课的重要性，切题，故选 A。 5.D细节理解题。根据第二段的“Why do many people suffer from motion sickness?

32、号，这将会导致晕动症，故选 D 项。 6.C主旨大意题。 根据第三段 “Boarding Glasses tries to ease motion sickness by making the users eyes and ears transmit the same message.After the brain receives the same message，it will think you are in a moving environment.”可推断出，本段主要介 绍了这款眼镜的工作原理，故选 C 项。 7.B词义猜测题。 根据划线词后一句 “After the brain r

34、the problem，as long as the users are willing to wear Boarding Glasses！ ”最后一段不 仅呼应了而且进一步证明了第一段提出的观点，故 A 项。 三、阅读七选五 1A第一段讲到英语的词汇量很大且有很多同义词，第二段提 到“That was the thinking of a British writer”及奥格登将英 语词汇量减到 850 个可知，此处应该是问“我们确实需要那么多词汇 第 11页（共 13页） 吗” 。 2F奥格登之所以创造基本英语是因为他觉得这样英语更容易 学。 3D根据上文的“were not necessa
35、rily the shortest or most concrete”及下文列举的例子可知，很多基础的词汇并没有出现在基 本英语中。 4E由下文的“Roosevelt，who expressed mild interest” 可知，此处是说丘吉尔也试图说服罗斯福总统推广基本英语。 5C根据下文的“Churchill didnt use it either.”可知， “奥格登并没有真正使用基本英语”符合语境。 四、语法填空 1especially设空处在句中作状语，应用副词。故填 especially。 2onhave a great effect on 为固定搭配，意为“对有 很大影响” 。故
36、填 on。 3nationsnation 是可数名词，根据 some 可知此处指不止一 个国家，所以应用复数形式。故填 nations。 4greatness在定冠词 the 之后作 about 的宾语，应用名词。 greatness 意为“伟大之处” 。故填 greatness。 5a句意：他们自己的文化是本土文化和有中国特征的文化的 混合体。mix 是可数名词，此处泛指“一个混合体” ，所以应用不定 冠词。a mix of 意为“的混合体” 。故填 a。 6is challengedeven if 意为“即使” ，引导让步状语从句， challenge 是从句谓语动词，与主语 it 之间是
37、被动关系，结合全文 时态可知应用一般现在时的被动语态，故填 is challenged。 第 12页（共 13页） 7given设空处应用非谓语动词作定语，修饰 ideas，give 与 ideas 之间是逻辑上的被动关系，所以应用过去分词。故填 given。 8more ancient本句指“四书”中的观点来自更早的古代典 籍“五经” ，通过句意可知若把“四书”和“五经”进行比较， “五经” 的历史更为悠久，且 even 常用来修饰比较级，故填 more ancient。 9what设空处引导宾语从句，作 learns 的宾语，从句中缺少 主语且表示“东西” ，所以引导词用 what。故填 what。 10to increasetake steps to do sth.意为“采取措施做某 事” 。故填 to increase。 第 13页（共 13页）
