Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand.A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind.Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal，music has a spiritual effect on a person.Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.‎ I have listened to music all my life.When I was twelve years old，the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up.Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America.Their influence changed the way we dressed，looked，acted and spoke...even our culture.The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination(暗杀) of President John ‎ Kennedy，which had put America into a great depression.And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.‎ Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer.This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it.And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world.Music has a great way of touching people.Music can make you laugh，cry or shout.It’s also a great source of inspiration.‎ Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea，sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs.Close your eyes，and soon you’ll find yourself creating vivid mental images—matching the music that you are listening to.‎ ‎11．Music has magical power because it .‎ A．is a kind of language ‎ B．can be played much louder than words C．receives a personal radio signal D．can influence a person’s spirit 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段倒数第二句中的“music has a spiritual effect on a person”可知，选D。‎ ‎12．One can learn from the second paragraph that the Beatles .‎ A．were the biggest band in American history B．are not accepted by modern American people C．appeared at a special time in American politics D．represented the roots of American culture 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知the Beatles出现在美国政治一个特殊的时期——美国总统肯尼迪被杀。故选C。‎ ‎13．One will do all of the following while listening to music EXCEPT .‎ A．feeling very refreshed B．having emotional changes C．painting some vivid pictures D．feeling inspired by the composer 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句及第三段最后两句可排除A、B、D三项。故选C。‎ ‎14．It can be inferred from the passage that the author .‎ A．has been influenced by the Beatles B．enjoys drinking tea in his spare time C．admires President John Kennedy very much D．likes to match his own feeling with that of the composer ‎ 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段第一、二句可知作者深受the Beatles的影响。故选A。‎ B ‎(2017·甘肃通渭马营中学月考)‎ The mysterious human ancestor called Homo naledi(纳莱迪人) was primed for success in a prehistoric triathlon，new research shows—if the challenges were walking upright，climbing trees，and handily wielding tools.‎ Based on fossils retrieved from South Africa’s Rising Star cave，two teams reconstructed the locomotor habits(运动习惯) of Homo naledi，reported Tuesday in Nature Communications.With funding from National Geographic，one took a close look at 107 foot bones，the other at 26 bones from a nearly complete right hand.‎ In most respects，the H．naledi foot looks surprisingly like a modern human’s.Its ankle joint，parallel big toe and wide heel bone belong to a striding biped(两足动物)，a creature fully adapted to efficiently walking upright on two legs.But its lower arch and curved toe bones are more apelike.‎ The hand，with its curved fingers，indicates that H．naledi were strong climbers—and yet the long，strong thumb and shockabsorbing wrist could also have been capable of manipulating tools(though no tools have been found yet)．‎ It’s a mix of features scientists hadn’t seen clearly yet in the genus Homo，to which modern humans belong，particularly when it comes to H．naledi’s pronounced arboreal proclivities.‎ ‎“H.naledi had a unique form of locomotion for a member of the genus Homo，” says study author William HarcourtSmith of CUNY’s Lehman College.‎ 语篇解读　‎ 本文属于说明文。文章介绍通过研究化石，研究人员发现纳莱迪人的脚和手已经进化得和人类很相似了。‎ ‎15．How do people learn about Homo naledi?‎ A．By studying on fossils. B．By meditation.‎ C．By locomotor habits. D．By data base.‎ 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Based on fossils retrieved from South Africa’s Rising Star cave，two teams reconstructed the locomotor habits(运动习惯) of Homo naledi，...”可知，人们是通过化石了解纳莱迪人的。故选A。‎ ‎16．Which of the following statements is RIGHT according to the passage?‎ A．Scientists have enough evidence to make sure that Homo naledi could make tools.‎ B．Homo naledi had a unique form of locomotion so they don’t belong to genus Homo.‎ C．Some features of Homo naledi can show that they are thoroughly modern human.‎ D．There exist some differences between Homo naledi and modern human.‎ 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It’s a mix of features scientists hadn’t seen clearly yet in the genus Homo，to which modern humans belong，particularly when it comes to H．naledi’s pronounced arboreal proclivities.”可知，纳莱迪人同现代人还是有区别的，故选D。‎ ‎17．What is the role of National Geographic?‎ A．The sponsor. B．The scholar.‎ C．The scientist. D．The detector.‎ 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“With funding from National Geographic”可以看出它充当赞助者的角色。故选A。‎ ‎18．Which picture can TRULY show the foot of Homo naledi?‎ A.

We all enjoyed this precious day greatly, talk about the people and things they were familiar with. It was a pity which some of us were not present as they had gone abroad for further education. Besides, they called back or sent greeting card from different places.‎ 答案　‎ It is five years now since I from High School.Last Saturday，the class that I was held a gettogether，which took us a long time prepare.It was indeed not easy to get in the touch with everybody and set a time for all of us.We all enjoyed this precious day greatly， about the people and things were familiar with.It was a pity some of us were not present as they had gone abroad for further education.，they called back or sent greeting from different places.‎ ‎29．答案　graduate→graduated 解析　考查动词时态。句意为：自从我高中毕业，现在已经5年了。It is ＋时间段＋since引导的时间状语从句结构中，从句要使用一般过去时。故graduate应改为graduated。‎ ‎30．答案　on→in 解析　考查介词搭配。句意为：上周六，我所在的班级组织了一次聚会。在哪个班级使用 in。故on改为in。‎ ‎31．答案　time后加to 解析　考查不定式。take sb.some time to do sth.花费某人多少时间做某事。故time后加to。‎ ‎32．答案　去掉the 解析　考查固定词组。get in touch with sb.与某人取得联系，故定冠词the多余。‎ ‎33．答案　properly→proper 解析　考查形容词。此处修饰名词time，形容词修饰名词，故properly应改为proper。‎ ‎34．答案　talk→talking 解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：我们都很喜欢这宝贵的一天，谈论着我们熟悉的人和事。talk与主语we之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，表主动，故应使用现在分词作伴随状语。‎ ‎35．答案　they→we 解析　考查代词。根据上下文及句意可知，此处应指“我们熟悉的人和事”。故they改为we。‎ ‎36．答案　which→that 解析　考查连词。句意为：遗憾的是，我们中的一些人因为出国深造而没能出席我们的聚会。由句意及句子结构分析可知，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的从句，从句句子成分齐全，故应使用只起连接作用的连词that，which在引导从句时要充当一定的句子成分。故which应改为that。‎ ‎37．答案　Besides→However 解析　考查连词。根据前后句意可知，前后为转折关系，且连词与主句有逗号隔开，故应使用转折连词however。‎ ‎38．答案　card→cards 解析　考查名词。句意为：然而，他们从不同的地方打来电话或发来贺卡。card为可数名词，故此处应使用复数形式cards。‎
