Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she recalled how she became a percussion soloist (打擊樂器獨奏演員) in spite of her disability.
“Early on I decided not to allow the 36 of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began 37 piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion (酷愛) for music grew. But I also began to gradually lose my 38 . Doctors concluded that the nerve damage was the 39 and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music never 40 me.
“My 41 was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I 42 to hear music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can 43 the pitch of a note (音調(diào)高低) by the vibrations (振動). I feel through my body and through my 44 . My entire sound world exists by making use of almost every 45 that I have.
“I was 46 to be assessed as a musician, not as a deaf musician, and I applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had 47 this before and some teachers 48 my admission. Based on my performance, I was 49 admitted and went to 50 with the academy’s highest honours.
“After that, I established myself as the first full-time solo percussionist. I 51 and arranged a lot of musical compositions since 52 had been written specially for solo percussionists.
“I have been a soloist for over ten years. 53 the doctor thought a was totally deaf, it didn’t 54 that my passion couldn’t be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be 55 by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart, they will lead you to to the place you want to go.”

36--55 BCBDA DBACA CADBC ADBAD
36.B 考查名詞詞義,綜合整個語篇及文章最后一段 “I would encourge people not to allow…”的提示,可知作者雖身殘而志堅,挑戰(zhàn)世俗,大膽嘗試,最終獲得成功,可知最佳答案為B項。
37.C 考查動詞詞義 ,文中take piano lessons 為動詞搭配,表示:上(聽)鋼琴課之意,故排除其它三個干擾項。
38.B 考查下文照應,由下文“I was completely deaf ”;“not as a deaf musician”;“ I was totally deaf” 處可知作者年幼失聰 (hearing)。
39.D 考查名詞辨析,根據(jù)文章,醫(yī)生斷言神經(jīng)受損是作者耳聾的原因所在,而非產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果,故排除B項,A項表示:證據(jù),C項表示:借口,均不符合文意。
40.A 考查動詞詞義和詞匯的褒貶語境,從文中可知,作者雖患耳疾,但年紀愈長,對音樂的熱情也愈漲,再由but一詞的暗示,可敲定left為正確答案。
41.D 考查名詞詞義,根據(jù)文意,作者的人生目標是要成為一名打擊樂器獨奏演員,所以D為正確答案,A項表示: 意圖,B項表示: 決定,C項表示: 諾言,均不準確。
42.B 考查動詞詞義,由文中可知,由于聽力喪失,作者無法用耳朵去聽音樂,所以只能嘗試學會以“另類”的方式去感悟音樂,選項B恰好表示: 學習、習得之意,符合文意。
43.A 考查動詞辨意,由上文可知,作者無法象常人一樣去聽音樂,就想出只穿著襪子不穿鞋,利用身體的震動來感知音樂,分辨音調(diào)高低。其中can與tell連用,正好表達“分辨”、“辨別”之意,為正確答案。
44.C 考查語篇綜合分析能力,根據(jù)文意和句子結(jié)構(gòu)可判斷,只有C項imagination (想象力)為正確答案。
45.A 考查名詞辨意,根據(jù)上文, 作者聽力喪失,所以只能協(xié)調(diào)其它的感官去“聽”音樂。故A項為正確答案。
46.C 考查語篇領悟能力,此處表達作者要立志成為音樂家,所以不難選出determine一詞,其他三項dissatisfied, astonished, discouraged因感情色彩與文章主旨明顯不符,而不能入選。
47.A 考查副詞意義,作者耳患頑疾,且又申請著名的倫敦皇家音樂學院去學習,這在當時是沒有哪個聾啞學生能夠做到的,故此題選A為宜。
48.D 解析:考查學生的邏輯推理能力,由上下文語境,再加上銜接詞and(注意文中沒用but,說明此處表示并列,而非轉(zhuǎn)折)可推知,作者的行為自然要受到老師的反對。此處學生易誤選support一詞而造成語意前后矛盾,以致偏離主題。
49.B 考查副詞詞義,從文中可知,作者大膽嘗試,抵制壓力,克服困難,最終考入皇家音樂學院,所以B項(最終地)為正確答案。
50.C 考查動詞詞義,由第四段最后一句可知,應是作者畢業(yè)時獲得學院最高榮譽獎,其它三項不妥。
51.A 考查動詞詞義,根據(jù)文章,作者經(jīng)過不懈努力,后來成為第一位專職打擊音樂獨奏演員,再由下句“…h(huán)ad been written specially for solo percussionists.”中write一詞的同義復現(xiàn),可確定上句答案為A項。
52.D 考查代詞詞義,根據(jù)上下文邏輯,在此作者想表達很少有人來專門為打擊音樂獨奏演員來譜曲,所以出現(xiàn)上文作者挺身而出,竭力為演員們來譜曲,所以此題D項為正確答案。
53.B 考查連詞用法,根據(jù)上下文邏輯,可知此處應使用表示轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)聯(lián)詞,選項A (however)雖然表示轉(zhuǎn)折含義,但不用做連詞,不能連接句子,故排除。所以B項為正確答案。
54.A 考查動詞詞義,根據(jù)文意和句式結(jié)構(gòu)(此句為雙重否定句)可知,mean表示:“意味著”,為最佳答案。
55.D 考查動詞詞義,作者通過自身經(jīng)歷勸導人們不要為別人的思想而束縛自己,故D項 (limited表示:限制)為最佳答案。

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
60.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.
A.they regard working as their greatest enjoyment
B.they believe that work is superior to relaxation
C.they are traveling fast all the time
D.they are becoming busier with their work than ever before
61.According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.
A.strong will to hold out stress
B.knowing the art of relaxation
C.high sense of responsibility
D.having control over performance
62.Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
A.We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.
B.Stress is always harmful to people's health
C.It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
D.Different people can bear different amount of stress.
63.In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to _____.
A."expose ourselves to stress"
B."find ways to deal with stress"
C."remove stress from our lives"
D."establish links between diseases and stress"
