【语篇解读】 这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。美国《华盛顿邮报》安排一个著名的音乐家在一个寒冷早晨的上班高峰期，到华盛顿的地铁站演奏小提琴，很少有行人驻足欣赏音乐家的“演出”。于是作者发出感慨，假如我们没有时间停下来聆听世界上最优秀的演奏家演奏世界上最优美的旋律，不知道还会有多少美好的东西从我们身边溜走呢！
21．A.assumed B．calculated
C．told D．imagined
解析： 因为是上班的高峰期，因此在地铁站进出的人估计有数千人，大部分都是赶着去上班的人。这里用calculate表示“估计，估算”。
答案： B
22．A.put off B．set aside
C．brought forward D．went by
解析： 这个人在华盛顿的地铁站拉小提琴，演奏巴赫的作品，三分钟过去了，此时有个中年人注意到他的演奏。用go by表示“(时间)流逝”。put off推迟，取消；set aside省出，留出；bring forward提议，将……提前。
答案： D
23．A.pace B．way
C．distance D．route
解析： 他放慢脚步。这里用pace表示“(一)步，速度，节奏”。
答案： A
24．A.standard B．procedure
C．schedule D．expectation
解析： 从叙述看，这个人停下脚步片刻就又匆匆离开赶时间去了，schedule时刻表，日程安排；standard标准，procedure程序，步骤；expectation期待，都不符合语境。
答案： C
25．A.leaned B．bent
C．crashed D．pressed
解析： 有个人靠在墙上听他演奏。用lean against表示“靠，倚靠”。bend弯曲，屈身；crash碰撞，press按，压。
答案： A
26．A.seized B．followed
C．carried D．fetched
解析： 下文说这个孩子的母亲狠推了他一把(pushed hard)，可见妈妈跟在孩子后面，因此选B，意为“跟随，跟从”。
答案： B
27．A.nevertheless B．therefore
C．thus D．besides
解析： 从语意的连贯判断，此处应用表示转折关系的副词nevertheless可是，然而，即孩子的母亲推着孩子继续赶路，可是孩子却不断地回头看这个音乐家演奏。
答案： A
28．A.turning B．circling
C．shaking D．nodding
解析： turn转动，扭转；circle环绕，盘旋；shake摇动，抖动；nod点头。语境说“孩子继续走”，可见这个孩子走远了，还在回头张望。
答案： A
29．A.suspicion B．question
C．exception D．discrimination
解析： 其他好几个孩子都和他一样，边走边回头张望，而那些孩子的父母无一例外地(without exception)推着孩子赶路。
答案： C
30．A.awarded B．contributed
C．donated D．collected
解析： 这里是说音乐家在演奏的时候赚到32美元，用collect表示“获得，收到”。award奖励；contribute捐助；donate捐赠，都不符合语境。
答案： D
31．A.settled down B．came out
C．went about D．took over
解析： 从语意的连贯看，他停止了演奏，于是周围一片静悄悄，用take over表示“接手，接管”：安静代替了先前的音乐。settle down定居下来，come out出现，开花，go about开始做。
答案： D
32．A.recognition B．sense
C．advantage D．significance
解析： 他的音乐演奏完毕，周围恢复寂静，然而并没有人注意到；既没人鼓掌喝彩，也没有人赞美。这里用recognition表示“表扬，表彰”。sense感官；advantage优点，有利条件；significance意义，重要性。
答案： A
33．A.assigned B．performed
C．behaved D．showed
解析： 从所给四个动词的主要含义和语境看，本空选B。就在他在这个地铁站演奏的前两天，贝尔在波士顿一家歌剧院演出，座位票的平均售价是1 000美元！assign委派；perform表演，演出；behave表现；show展示，出现。
答案： B
34．A.represented B．developed
C．introduced D．organized
解析： 他在华盛顿地铁站演奏是《华盛顿邮报》一手策划的。这里用organize表示“组织”。
答案： D
35．A.approach B．access
C．awareness D．arrangement
解析： 联系上文可知，此处意为测试一下人们的意识和品味。四个名词中，只有awareness意识，符合语境。approach接近，临近；access通道，入口；arrangement安排。
答案： C
36．A.dots B．marks
C．points D．stains
解析： 结合选项的含义判断选C，point表示要求证的“论点”。这个社会调查要探究的问题是：在普通公共场合不合适的时间里，我们是否能意识到美呢？
答案： C
37．A.important B．precious
C．inappropriate D．convenient
解析： 从前面的叙述看，音乐家贝尔是在大清早人们赶着上班的时候在地铁站里演奏音乐的，可见时间和地点都不适宜。
答案： C
38．A.appreciate B．criticize
C．envy D．celebrate
解析： 我们是否会停下匆忙的脚步来欣赏这样的美呢？用appreciate表示“欣赏”。
答案： A

40．A.listening B．missing
C．escaping D．avoiding
解析： 从语境判断选B，表示“错过”：假如我们没有时间停下来聆听世界上最优秀的音乐家演奏世界上最优美的旋律，那么还会有多少美好的东西从我们身边溜走呢？
