　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　Les Paul is one of the most influential people in modern popular music. He was a skillful guitarist who played an energetic mixture of jazz and country songs. He was also an inventor.

　　The electric guitar and recording devices he created changed the sound of popular music and greatly influenced rock and roll.

　　Les Paul is best known for creating one of the first solid-body electric guitars and the eight-track recording device. He also perfected new recording methods to give special effects to his music.

　　Les Paul was born Lester William Polfuss (POLL-fuss)in 1915 in Waukesha, (WAH-kuh-shaw)Wisconsin. By the age of nine, he had taught himself to play the harmonica and had built a radio. He also learned to play the guitar and banjo. He could not read music, but he could play music that he heard. And he had a good sense of musical structure.

　　Les Paul was soon performing in country bands in the Midwest. He left high school to perform full time on radio shows. He performed using the names “The Wizard of Waukesha”， “Hot Rod Red” and “Rhubarb Red”. He also started playing music influenced by great jazz guitarists including Django Reinhardt.

　　By 1937, he had formed the Les Paul trio. He moved to New York City the next year. Les Paul played with many famous performers including the popular singer Bing Crosby.

　　Around 1941, Les Paul invented his famous guitar. He wanted to make an instrument that could play a note longer than notes played on a traditional acoustic guitar. He developed a new kind of electric guitar that had a solid body. On an acoustic guitar, the strings vibrate and the hollow part of the instrument, or the sound box, also vibrates. Les Paul wanted an instrument in which only the strings vibrated.

　　In the 1970s, Les Paul made two records with the country guitarist Chet Atkins. One was called “Chester and Lester”. It won a Grammy Award in 1976. Starting in the early 1980s, Paul began playing in jazz clubs in New York City. He kept on performing weekly until a few months before his death.

　　c. He performed full time on radio shows.

　　d. He began playing in jazz clubs in New York City.

　　e. He invented his famous guitar.

　　答案

　　課時作業(二十一)

　　Ⅰ.1.D　考查冠詞。句意：“爸爸，看！為什么彩虹像一張弓？”“哦，它正向生氣的天空道歉。”天空和彩虹都是雙方知道的事，故均用定冠詞the。

　　2．B　考查固定搭配。句意：他所說的對我來說沒有意義。make no sense為固定搭配，意思是“沒有道理；沒有意義”。

　　3．B　考查“with＋賓語＋賓語補足語”的用法。句意：隨著水位的不斷上升，這位勇敢的士兵跳進水里救起那位溺水的村民。water與rise之間存在主動關系，且指水位正在不斷上升，故選B項。

　　4．D　考查連詞。句意：“你能算出這道題嗎？”“我不能，除非你解釋怎么做。”A、B、C三項后不接句子。unless是從屬連詞，引導條件狀語從句，故選D項。

　　5．B　考查動詞短語辨析。句意：國務院已經提出了一項有利于農民利益的新經濟政策。根據句意可知此處表示“提出一項新的經濟政策”，所以用put forward。

　　6．A　句意為：除了提供人道主義援助之外，聯合國還應該敦促讓協議得到實施。由句中的also可知，這里用apart from表示“除了……還”。rather than“而不是”，far from“遠非”，except for“除了”。

　　7．A　考查動詞的語態。句意：我覺得是你的丈夫寵壞了孩子。be to blame沒有被動形式。

　　8．A　考查時間狀語從句。句意：他一進來，我就認出他了。the moment在此相當于連詞，引導一個時間狀語從句，意為“一……就”。

　　9．A　考查名詞辨析。句意：在你開始之前，你應該仔細讀汽車修理手冊的說明。instruction “說明，操作指南”常用復數形式。construction “建筑物”；introduction “介紹”；explanation “解釋”。

　　10．A　考查動詞辨析。句意：總理最后說他在中國的參觀非常滿意。conclude “結束，終止”；conduct “指揮”；consider“考慮”；confuse “困惑；迷惑”。

　　11．B　考查時間狀語從句。分析句式結構可知此處缺少連詞連接兩個句子，僅by the time和each time可以后接從句。再根據句意：每當你遇到不懂的單詞時都不要停下來，選B。

　　12．A　考查動詞辨析。句意：警察正在到處尋找被認為和這項犯罪活動有牽連的詹姆斯先生。be linked to意為“與……有關”； worried意為“擔心的”；united意為“聯合的；團結的”； mixed意為“混合的”。

　　13．B　考查動詞辨析。由下文的“她被警方詢問”可以看出，是因為她被懷疑(suspect)卷入了那起謀殺未遂案。suspect sb. of doing sth.“懷疑某人做了某事”，故這里應用過去分詞作原因狀語。convince “使信服”；charge “指控”； confirm “證實”。

　　14．A　考查倒裝。only if意為“只要，只有”，其置于句首，主句部分倒裝。

　　15．A　考查交際用語。句意：“媽媽，我很累。我不能再走了。”“加油，親愛的。”你可以做到。come on意為“加油；振作起來；前進；隨后跟上；快點；趕緊”，在此表示鼓勵孩子加把勁，符合句意。其余三項不合語境。

　　Ⅱ.本文主要講述了瑪麗和約翰出差在外，把兩個孩子托付給保姆。回家時發現弗雷德·瓊斯的房子著火了，而他在工廠上班，應該還未回家，于是他們過去幫忙。約翰不顧妻子的反對，冒著生命的危險到地下室救小孩，最后抱上來的兩個小孩竟然是自己的孩子。

　　16．A　由下文可知他被派去出差，又與前文的好家庭相對，可知此處應該說的是好工作，故選A項。

　　17．C　并決定(decide)妻子也需要一起去。其余三空不合語境。

　　18．B　夫妻倆要離開，應該會雇用(hire)一個人照顧孩子。intend意欲，打算；remind使想起。

　　19．D　與前文的“had just been asked to go on a business trip”相呼應，可知他們應該因公外出了，故選D項。

　　20．B　當他們開車回家時，發現一幢房子著火了。as意為“當……時”，引導時間狀語從句，故選B項。before在……之前；once一旦；since自從……以來，均不合語境。
