What do you think of 80s pop music? Do the names George Michael, Madonna and Michael Jackson sound familiar? Well, these are just some of the names that were well-known in the music scene of the 80s and early 90s. The 80s pop music scene was an important step to the popularity (普及) of present-day music. A new wave in the music scene was introduced, which made such music styles as punk rock, rap music and the MTV popular. Although it was an end to the old 60s and 70s styles, it was also the beginning of something big. The popularity of music videos meant that artists now replaced their guitar-based music with visual displays. A new wave of artists came on the scene and the entire industry developed quickly.
The most famous 80s pop music video is Michael Jackson's Thriller. Introduced in 1982, few people can forget the video not only because of its never-before-seen images, but also because of the popularity it received. Think too of how 80s pop music changed the lives of people who grew up in the 80s. Ask a young man today to tell you the names of the New Kids on the Block and he will start talking about the neighbor kids who just moved in. These are not the answers you might have heard in the 80s. Though today's young men do not recognize how cool 80s pop music was, most people will always remember it for what it was and these are happy memories they will always love.
Some of the 80s pop music legends (传奇人物) include Madonna, U2, AeroSmith and of course the King of Pop Michael Jackson. Let's not forget Prince, Tina Turner, Phil Collins and Motown's Lionel Ritchie. Some of these musicians played music that has stood the test of time. Undoubtedly, the 80s pop music scene will live on for many more years to come.
1.What is the text mainly about?
A.The characters of 80s pop music.
B.The effects of 80s pop music.
C.80s pop music's steps to popularity.
D.What made 80s pop musie popular.
答案:D 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了二十世纪八十年代的音乐流行的原因。故选D项。
2.80s pop music mainly includes the following styles EXCEPT ________.
A.rap music B.the MTV
C.guitar-based music D.punk rock
答案:C 细节理解题。从第一段第五句的“A new wave in the music scene was introduced, which made such music styles as punk rock, rap music and the MTV popular”可知,八十年代出现的新的音乐形式有“punk rock, rap music and the MTV。 再由artists now replaced their guitar-based music with visual displays.”可知选C项。
3.Michael Jackson's Thriller impressed people so deeply mainly because ________.
A.it was made into a music video
B.he sang it in a special style
C.it changed the lives of people
D.it left people with happy memories
答案:A 细节理解题。从第二段第二句的“Introduced in 1982, few people can forget the video not only because of its never-before-seen images”可知,因为MTV的引进,使得这首歌曲深入人心。 故选A项。
4.From the second paragraph, we can know that the young men today ________.
A.have been changed by 80s music
B.cannot recognize how cool 80s pop music was
C.can't understand New Kids on the Block better
D.are very interested in the neighbor kids who just moved in
答案:B 细节理解题。 由第二段第三句可知,A项错误;由第二段第四句可知,C、D项错误;由第二段第六句可知,B项正确。

Listening to music can help me focus better. Since I discovered it two years ago, I've used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively. I've found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity.
I first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games. It was a few days before Christmas in 2005 and I was playing online video games. My parents had just given me a new MP3, so I decided to listen to music through the headphones while I played. After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play. I was playing more naturally. The music helped me block out the outside world. With those headphones on I was like a machine, moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions.
Music can also have a great effect on mood. If I'm in a bad mood at work, I'll listen to some of Bob Marley's and get down to business. It always takes my mind off what I'm doing and makes me a happier person. The same is true for classic rock. One summer, I did a boring job collecting bottle openers by band. Without a radio playing classic rock in the background,I would have hated life.
Listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive message helps you forget your work and think happy thoughts. But the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes. Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks. By trial and error you'll finally discover your best choice. I'm always looking for new concentration aids, so I'd love to know what type of music works best for me.
5.We can infer that the passage was written in ________.
A. 2007 B. 2008
C. 2009 D. 2010
答案:A 推理判断题。根据第一段“Since I discovered it two years ago...”可知,作者两年前发现了听音乐的好处;根据第二段“It was a few days before Christmas in 2005...”可知,作者指的两年前是2005年,因此写这篇文章的时间是2007年。
6.The author first discovered the effects of music ________.
A. from his parents B. by chance
C. at work D. when he was a child
答案:B 推理判断题。根据第二段“...I was playing online video games...After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play.”可知,作者是在玩游戏时听音乐偶然发现了音乐的巨大作用的。by chance是固定词组,意为“偶然,碰巧”。
7.The author mentions the experience of collecting bottle openers in Paragraph Three to ________.21世纪教育网版权所有
A.tell us that life is dull B.prove that music affects mood
C.tell us how to seek happiness D.tell us bad mood can affect work
答案:B 推理判断题。第三段的主旨句为第一句“Music can also have a great effect on mood.”,本段所举的例子是为了证明这个观点(音乐可以影响心情),故答案为B项。
8.In order to get the greatest effect of music, you are advised to ________.
A.listen to some of Bob Marley's B.only choose relaxing music
C.test all kinds of music D.listen to classic rock
答案:C 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks.”可知作者建议我们应该试听不同种类的音乐,答案为C项。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Today's trumpet (小号) is one of the world's oldest instruments. It is really the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like its ancestors (祖先), there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes. They are all blown. And they all use the player's lips to produce the basic sound.
The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size, shape, material, and method of construction. They wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone, enable the performers to play all the notes of scale, extend the range higher and lower, make it possible to play more beautiful music, and in general, be easier to play well. The remarkable way in which the modern trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggled to perfect this glorious instrument.21教育网
The trumpet is actually the leading member of an entire family of related instruments. There are trumpets of several different sizes, and in several different keys. There are cornets (短号), bugles (军号), flugelborns(粗管短号), and a number of others that are all similar to the trumpet in the way they are made and played.
The trumpet family is much that a group of related instruments that can stir one with their sound, or narrow tubes of metal capable of producing a variety of musical sounds.

1.A.sorry B.successful

2.A.dance B.moment
C.show D.party
答案:B 由下文知道,多萝西也曾学习过音乐,但由于认识戴维并结婚而影响了自己在音乐方面的发展,现在正好让女儿来完成自己的心愿。由此可知,“她盼望这一时刻好多年了”,故选B项。
3.A.voice B.face

4.A.think of B.bring back

12.A.lucky B.sure

15.A.saw off B.learned from
C.heard of D.met with
答案:D 句意:接着她遇到了在欧洲旅游的戴维。meet with意为“遇到,偶然碰到”,符合题意。see off “为……送行”;learn from“向……学习”;hear of“听说”,均不符合题意。
16.A.love B.feeling

A
Many young people want to become pop-stars. It is their great ambition in life. They think pop-stars earn a lot of money; they lead interesting and exciting lives; thousands of fans love them; they become famous.2·1·c·n·j·y
Yes, but first they must become stars. Most performers start life with a group. This is the pattern nowadays. But there are many groups and competition is hard. Groups appear and disappear almost overnight. Only a small number survive. Almost without exception they have to work very hard before they reach the top.
And very few reach the top and stay there. In English there are perhaps thirty or so groups at the top. Most of these do not earn so much money: perhaps 500 pounds each time they perform. What's more, they have quite a lot of expenses. They have to pay a manager, for example. He is the key person in their lives and he takes about 20% of their earnings—perhaps more. Then there are their clothes, their instruments and their van (covering truck for moving goods). Sometimes they are still playing for the last two items.
And don't forget, they have to travel a great deal—sometimes 2 000 miles in one week. At times they even sleep in their van instead of a hotel just to save money.
So now, what do you think? Are pop-stars so rich? And do they have such exciting lives?
1.Why is the group's manager well paid?
A.Because he runs this group.
B.Because he looks after them.
C.Because he is important to them.
D.Because he buys them clothes and instruments.
答案:C 由第三段倒数第三句“He is the key person in their lives”可知。key相当于important,意为“重要的”。www.21-cn-jy.com
2.How do pop-groups spend the money they earn?
A.They pay a manager 20% of their earnings or more.21世纪教育网版权所有
B.They have to pay for clothes, instruments and their van.
C.They often make trips.
D.All of the above.
答案:D 从第三段后半部分及第四段介绍可知这些乐团要付给经理们报酬;还要支付日常开销;有时经常去各地演唱,故D项正确。【出处:21教育名师】
3.The writer makes us believe ________.
A.it is pleasant to become a pop-star
B.if you work hard in pop groups, you will reach the top
C.pop stars are neither too rich nor too happy
D.ordinary people had better not dream of pop-stars21*cnjy*com
答案:C 文章主要讲述成为明星所面临的压力、付出的艰辛努力及偏低的酬劳,旨在表明人们关于明星的观点不正确,故选C项。
B
Wilhelm Richard Wagner (22 May 1813-13 February 1883) was a German musician, mainly known for his opera.
People have a lot of disagreement on Wagner's life and work. While he wrote good music, many people thought his operas were too dark and serious, without fun.
Wagner,on the other hand, thought the opera of his time was too simple. He wanted to make opera a combination(合成物)of drama and music to tell deep stories that would have strong effects on the audience.【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
Some people thought Wagner's new kind of music was too different from the operas they were used to hearing. Wagner assented_to them. In fact, he didn't call his works “operas” at all, but used a German word that means “Musical Festival” or “Musical play.”
While many people today still do not like Wagner's operas,they cannot deny(否认)that Wagner has had a lot of influence on opera. Wagner invented the tradition of turning off the lights before starting a play. He also was the first person to make the whole audience sit down for an entire play. Today, almost all operas are performed in this way.
Wagner hated Jewish people and made many people angry—things we would today think of as evil. Some would say he was a good musician, while others thought he was a bad musician. But it would be difficult to say he was not an important person in the field of music.【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Richard Wagner's opera.
B.A new kind of music—opera.
C.Richard Wagner is a great musician.
D. People have a lot of disagreement on Wagner's life and work.
答案:D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了人们对音乐家理查德·瓦格纳及其作品的一些争议。
5.The underlined phrase “assented to” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A.disagreed with B.agreed with
C.looked down upon D. cared for
答案:B 根据上下文,许多人认为理查德·瓦格纳的音乐与他们所熟悉的歌剧不一样,而理查德·瓦格纳本人也不把自己的作品叫做“歌剧”。由此推出assented to的意思是agreed to“同意”。
6.The fifth paragraph mainly dealt with ________.
A.Wagner's contributions B.Wagner's acting style
C.people's poor attitude to him D.Wagner's influence on society
答案:A 主旨大意题。本段首句即表明了主题,尽管人们不喜欢瓦格纳的作品,但是承认他对音乐的影响和贡献。
7.In which way was Wagner's opera different from the opera of his time?
A.Wagner called his works “Musical Festivals”.
B.Wagner's opera was a combination of drama and music.
C.Wagner's opera was a fun form of art.
D.Wagner's opera was easy to understand.
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“He wanted to make opera a combination (合成物) of drama and music...”可知,Wagner的opera特点是戏剧与音乐相结合。
