答案與分層梯度式解析Unit2Theuniversallanguage練Ⅰ.A◎語篇解讀本文是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了Cardiff當地的一些劇院和娛樂場所。1.D細節(jié)理解題。根據文章“StDavid’sHall”部分中的“StDavid’sHallishometotheannualWelshPromsCardiff(StDavid’sHall是Cardiff一年一度的WelshProms的舉辦地)”可知,Cardiff的WelshProms活動在StDavid’sHall舉辦。故選D。2.B細節(jié)理解題。根據文章“TheGleeClub”部分中的“Ifyouarelookingforthebestcomediesontourandbrilliantlivemusic,youshouldstarthere.(如果你正在尋找最好的巡演喜劇和精彩的現場音樂,你應該從這里開始。)”可知,人們可以在TheGleeClub欣賞喜劇。故選B。3.A細節(jié)理解題。根據文章“NewTheatre”部分中的“TheNewTheatrehasbeenthehomeofqualitydrama,musicals,danceandchildren’sshowsformorethan100years.(100多年來,NewTheatre一直是優(yōu)質戲劇、音樂劇、舞蹈和兒童節(jié)目的發(fā)源地。)”以及其下面的網站“www.newtheatrecardiff.co.uk”可知,可以在www.newtheatrecardiff.co.uk網站找到Cardiff存在最久的劇院。故選A?！靖呖荚~匯站】1.entertainment2.impressive3.creative4.excited5.現場的6.位于(某處)長難句原句Everyweekendthisis“Wales”premiercomedyclubwherehavingagreattimeistheorderforbothaudiencesandcomedystarsalike.分析這是一個主從復合句。where引導的定語從句修飾先行詞club,從句主語為動名詞短語havingagreattime。譯文每個周末,這里都是“威爾士”頂級喜劇俱樂部,觀眾和喜劇明星都要在這里度過一段美好時光。B◎語篇解讀本文是一篇記敘文。在音樂家演奏時為他們翻樂譜的人雖然在舞臺上不引人注意,但需要很多技巧和大量的訓練。4.A細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段中“butI’velearnttoreadmusic(但是我已經學會了識譜)”可知一個翻樂譜的人應該學會識譜,故選A。5.C推理判斷題。根據第三段中“Alotofskillsareneededforthejob.(這份工作需要大量的技巧。)”以及關鍵信息“haveto”和“makesure”可綜合推斷Titterton在舞臺上的工作要求很高,故選C。boring沒趣的,令人厭倦(或厭煩)的;well-paid工資高的;dangerous危險的。6.B推理判斷題。根據第四段中“andeachpianisthastheirownstyleof‘nodding’toindicateapageturn(每個鋼琴家都有自己的‘點頭’風格來示意翻頁)”可推斷Titterton需要識別鋼琴家發(fā)出的“點頭”信號,才能準確地翻頁,故選B。7.D推理判斷題。根據最后一段中“He’sinterestedinthemusic,feelingeverynote,andIhavetosay:‘Turn,turn!’(他對音樂很感興趣,能感受到每一個音符,我不得不提醒他:‘翻頁,翻頁!’)”可推斷他由于專注于音樂,忘了翻頁,故選D?！靖呖荚~匯站】1.munication4.主席,委員長5.舞臺上的6.樂譜,(一首樂曲的)總譜7.重復段;反復部分8.穿堂風,冷風9.架,座;臺10.音符長難句原句Silentonstagecommunicationiskey,andeachpianisthasthe
