A
Diana
Ross，American
pop
singer
and
actress，achieved
international
popularity，first
as
the
leader
singer
of
the
Supremes
and
later
as
a
solo(独唱的)
artist.Diana
Ross
was
born
on
March
26,1944，in
Detroit，Michigan.She
was
the
second
of
six
children
of
Fred
and
Ernestine
Ross，who
lived
in
one
of
Detroit’s
poor
districts.Because
her
family
were
closely
connected
with
each
other，Ross
almost
didn’t
notice
the
difficult
life
as
she
grew
up.
Ross’s
professional
career
began
in
1959，when
she
joined
several
neighborhood
friends
to
form
the
Primettes.The
group
was
renamed
the
Supremes
after
signing
a
recording
contract
with
Motown
late
the
following
year.The
group
produced
many
number-one
hit
singles(热门单曲)
on
the
US
Billboard
hot
100，including
Baby
Love，Stop!
In
the
Name
of
Love
and
Someday
We’ll
Be
Together.In
1967，the
group
was
renamed
Diana
Ross
and
the
Supremes，foreshadowing(预示)
Ross’s
solo
career，which
she
started
in
1970.
Beginning
with
Ain’t
No
Mountain
High
Enough
from
her
first
solo
album，Ross
enjoyed
more
than
ten
years
of
great
success
with
her
hit
singles.Ross
also
developed
a
film-acting
career
in
the
1970s，beginning
with
a
starring
role
as
blues
singer
Billie
Holiday
in
Lady
Sings
the
Blues
and
continuing
with
Mahogany，for
which
she
also
recorded
the
theme
song
Do
You
Know
Where
You’re
Going
To.
However，in
the
mid-1980s，Ross
saw
her
career
begin
to
wane.Most
of
her
albums
were
re-recordings
of
earlier
material.In
2006，she
produced
I
Love
You，a
collection
of
love
songs
by
many
artists，and
she
started
an
energetic
concert
tour
the
following
year
to
make
the
album
publicly
known.Although
you
can’t
find
her
songs
on
the
US
Billboard
Hot
100
now，Ross
remains
popular
as
one
of
the
leading
musical
performers
of
all
time.

B
When
I
was
only
3
years
old，my
mother
taught
me
to
memorize
and
recite
poems.She
was
my
first
teacher
of
the
arts，and
my
father
was
the
first
to
appreciate
my
performance.Even
at
that
young
age，I
had
a
simple
understanding
of
how
art
and
culture
affect
us
as
human
beings
and
how
we
can
connect
to
each
other
through
the
arts，which
shapes
my
life
to
this
day.
When
I
was
growing
up，my
parents
supported
my
interest
in
taking
acting
classes
and
doing
community
theater.Their
faith
in
me
and
the
professional
training
I
was
getting
from
my
theater
teachers
gave
me
a
sense
of
purpose
and
a
sense
of
self-confidence.I
learned
what
artistic
achievement
actually
was
and
what
hard
work
the
business
was.While
many
people
see
the
rosy
picture
to
our
business，I
was
really
learning
what
it
would
require
for
me
to
become
a
professional.
I
became
an
actress，but
arts
education
isn’t
just
about
preparing
our
young
people
for
a
job
in
the
arts.I
recently
talked
to
some
of
the
kids
attending
theater
education.Some
of
them
want
to
work
in
theater，and
some
don’t.They
are
learning
not
only
theater
skills，but
also
about
the
world
around
them.They
learn
about
discipline
and
hard
work
and
what’s
required
and
what
they
have
to
do
to
bring
themselves
to
the
work.They
learn
how
they
can
be
of
service
in
the
world
through
the
arts.They
learn
how
to
work
with
a
team.By
studying
the
arts，these
students
are
open
to
worlds
and
lives
that
they
might
not
have
any
other
way
of
knowing
about
or
any
other
way
to
connect
with
in
their
lives
the
way
they
are
right
now.
These
young
people
are
our
future.We
are
passing
the
torch
to
them.And
I
think
that’s
one
of
the
most
important
reasons
why
we
need
to
foster(培养)
the
arts.

the
writer
was
3
years
old，she
.
A．learned
many
kinds
of
arts
B．did
well
in
communication
C．recited
poems
to
her
father
D．had
a
deep
understanding
of
arts
6．What
does
the
underlined
word
“rosy”
in
Paragraph
2
probably
mean?
A．Bright.
B．Funny.
C．Terrible.
D．Hopeless.
7．What
can
be
inferred
from
the
second
paragraph?
A．It
was
hard
for
the
writer
to
start
business.
B．It
is
not
easy
for
one
to
succeed
in
an
arts
field.
C．Parents’
faith
is
a
must
for
one
to
be
professional.
D．The
writer’s
self-confidence
led
to
her
artistic
achievement.
8．According
to
Paragraph
3，which
of
the
following
statement
is
TRUE?
A．Attending
theatre
education
does
the
kids
much
good.
B．Students
studying
the
arts
should
travel
around
the
world.
C．Discipline
and
hard
work
are
not
included
in
arts
education.
D．Arts
education
can
only
prepare
the
youth
for
jobs
in

One
of
the
greatest
concerts
I
ever
attended
never
took
place
at
all.
Not
quite,
anyway.
Instead,
a
violent
1
，
which
came
pretty
much
out
of
nowhere
on
a
summer
night,
left
the
Saratoga
Performing
Arts
Center
without
electrical
power.
The
2
storm
hit
just
minutes
before
the
Philadelphia
Orchestra
was
about
to
take
the
3
along
with
a
guest
soloist,
the
violinist
Sarah
Chang.
Forty?five
minutes
later,
the
audience
were
still
4
，
hoping
power
would
be
restored
and
the
5
would
get
under
way.
That’s
when
Chang
6
onto
the
stage,
alone
except
for
her
7
and
a
couple
of
stagehands
equipped
with
flashlights
to
8
her
and
her
music.
The
orchestra
9
backstage.
But
Chang
began
playing
Fritz
Kreisler’s
Recitativo
and
Scherzo?Caprice.
Maybe
the
rain
was
still
pounding
on
the
roof
and
10
the
grass.
Maybe
the
thunder
hadn’t
died
away
11
by
distance.
Chances
are,
though,
no
one
12
that
night
could
tell
you
there
was
anything
at
all
in
the
air
except
the
13
．
The
performance
was
14
，
but
it
was
delivered
with
both
skill
and
grace—a
sort
of
“
15
”
card
for
the
audience’s
presence
and
patience.
The
applause
was
16
.
Then,
several
thousand
music
lovers
17
through
pouring
rain
and
18
to
their
cars.
Maybe
the
story
ends
right
there.
But
the
then
twenty?year?old
musician’s
19
for
the
people
coming
to
hear
her
music
says
something
about
the
essential
relationship
between
artist
and
audience.
Maybe
Sarah
Chang
understood
that
when
she
offered
her
music
as
a

night,
without

and
in

4．答案D
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的后一句“Most
of
her
albums
were
re-recordings
of
earlier
material.”可知，之后她大部分专辑收录的都是早期的歌曲，她再也没有发行新歌。说明她的演唱生涯出现了滑坡，变得糟糕了。故D项正确。
B
When
I
was
only
3
years
old，my
mother
taught
me
to
memorize
and
recite
poems.She
was
my
first
teacher
of
the
arts，and
my
father
was
the
first
to
appreciate
my
performance.Even
at
that
young
age，I
had
a
simple
understanding
of
how
art
and
culture
affect
us
as
human
beings
and
how
we
can
connect
to
each
other
through
the
arts，which
shapes
my
life
to
this
day.
When
I
was
growing
up，my
parents
supported
my
interest
in
taking
acting
classes
and
doing
community
theater.Their
faith
in
me
and
the
professional
training
I
was
getting
from
my
theater
teachers
gave
me
a
sense
of
purpose
and
a
sense
of
self-confidence.I
learned
what
artistic
achievement
actually
was
and
what
hard
work
the
business
was.While
many
people
see
the
rosy
picture
to
our
business，I
was
really
learning
what
it
would
require
for
me
to
become
a
professional.
I
became
an
actress，but
arts
education
isn’t
just
about
preparing
our
young
people
for
a
job
in
the
arts.I
recently
talked
to
some
of
the
kids
attending
theater
education.Some
of
them
want
to
work
in
theater，and
some
don’t.They
are
learning
not
only
theater
skills，but
also
about
the
world
around
them.They
learn
about
discipline
and
hard
work
and
what’s
required
and
what
they
have
to
do
to
bring
themselves
to
the
work.They
learn
how
they
can
be
of
service
in
the
world
through
the
arts.They
learn
how
to
work
with
a
team.By
studying
the
arts，these
students
are
open
to
worlds
and
lives
that
they
might
not
have
any
other
way
of
knowing
about
or
any
other
way
to
connect
with
in
their
lives
the
way
they
are
right
now.
These
young
people
are
our
future.We
are
passing
the
torch
to
them.And
I
think
that’s
one
of
the
most
important
reasons
why
we
need
to
foster(培养)
the
arts.

V.完形填空
One
of
the
greatest
concerts
I
ever
attended
never
took
place
at
all.
Not
quite,
anyway.
Instead,
a
violent
1
，
which
came
pretty
much
out
of
nowhere
on
a
summer
night,
left
the
Saratoga
Performing
Arts
Center
without
electrical
power.
The
2
storm
hit
just
minutes
before
the
Philadelphia
Orchestra
was
about
to
take
the
3
along
with
a
guest
soloist,
the
violinist
Sarah
Chang.
Forty?five
minutes
later,
the
audience
were
still
4
，
hoping
power
would
be
restored
and
the
5
would
get
under
way.
That’s
when
Chang
6
onto
the
stage,
alone
except
for
her
7
and
a
couple
of
stagehands
equipped
with
flashlights
to
8
her
and
her
music.
The
orchestra
9
backstage.
But
Chang
began
playing
Fritz
Kreisler’s
Recitativo
and
Scherzo?Caprice.
Maybe
the
rain
was
still
pounding
on
the
roof
and
10
the
grass.
Maybe
the
thunder
hadn’t
died
away
11
by
distance.
Chances
are,
though,
no
one
12
that
night
could
tell
you
there
was
anything
at
all
in
the
air
except
the

The
performance
was
14
，
but
it
was
delivered
with
both
skill
and
grace—a
sort
of
“
15
”
card
for
the
audience’s
presence
and
patience.
The
applause
was
16
.
Then,
several
thousand
music
lovers
17
through
pouring
rain
and
18
to
their
cars.
Maybe
the
story
ends
right
there.
But
the
then
twenty?year?old
musician’s
19
for
the
people
coming
to
hear
her
music
says
something
about
the
essential
relationship
between
artist
and
audience.
Maybe
Sarah
Chang
understood
that
when
she
offered
her
music
as
a

night,
without

and
in

a
violent
，
which
came
pretty
much
out
of

3．D 解析：这场突如其来的雷暴就在费城管弦乐队携客座小提琴独奏家Sarah
