4、依據(jù)以下提示寫一篇100詞左右的文章。1.奶奶患重病(fightwithaseriousdisease)去世后，我很難受(upset)。2.幾天后，爸爸給我一張奶奶生前最寵愛(ài)的音樂(lè)專輯(album)。3.專輯上附帶著(attach)一張字條，上面寫著(saying/reading)"敬愛(ài)的凱特，我希望你留著這張專輯，并希望你讓音樂(lè)成為你生活的一部分。"_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.A;2.C;3.B;4.B

解析：2答案及解析：答案：1-3CAD解析：1.細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第一段中的"Shewashelpinghimcomposehisfirstpieceofmusic.Sergeiwasonlyfiveyearsold."以及其次段介紹Sergei完成他的作曲并將其命名為"IndianGallop"可知，Sergei在五歲時(shí)就創(chuàng)作出他人生的第一支樂(lè)曲。2.推理推斷題。依據(jù)倒數(shù)其次段中的"Sergei'sPeterandtheWolfwasenjoyedbychildrenaswellasadults."和"thechildrenlisteningtoitloveditsomuchthattheymadehimplaytheendingthreeextratimes"可推想，《彼得和狼》這支樂(lè)曲大獲勝利。3.主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章主要講解并描述了與Sergei的音樂(lè)有關(guān)的故事。3答案及解析：答案：Listening；for；mainly；or；older；toremember；has；emotions；what；that解析：1. 考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。

【解題思路】分析句型結(jié)構(gòu)吋知，空格處在句中作主語(yǔ)，應(yīng)用動(dòng)名詞形式。故填Listening。留意首字母大寫。

2.考查介詞。

【解題思路】havethegreatlovefor...為固定短語(yǔ)，意為“非常寵愛(ài)……”。故填for。

3. 考查副詞。

【解題思路】此處應(yīng)用副詞修飾動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)listenedto。故填mainly。

4. 考查連詞。

【解題思路】依據(jù)前面的“WhetherIwasinthecar”可知，此處構(gòu)成“whether...or...”結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“無(wú)論是……還是……”。故填or。

5. 考查形容詞的比較等級(jí)。

【解題思路】依據(jù)本段第一句中的“
