She frequently found herself imagining that a serious accident had occurred;she was unable to put these thoughts out of her mind.On one such occasion she imagined that her son,Alan,had broken his leg playing football at school. There was no reason to believe that an accident had occurred,but she kept thinking about the possibility until she finally called the school to see if Alan was all right. Even after receiving their assurance that he had not been hurt,she described herself as being somewhat surprised when he later arrived home unharmed.Karen also noted that her daily routine was seriously hampered by an extensive series of counting work that she performed throughout each day.Specific numbers come to have a special meaning to her;she found that her preoccupation with these numbers was interfering with her ability to perform everyday activities.One example was grocery shopping. Karen believed that if she selected the first item,some dreadful thing would happen to her first child, if she selected the second item,some unknown disaster wonld fall on her second child, and so on for the four children.Karen's preoccupation with numbers extended to other activities, most notable the pattern in which she smoked cigarettes and drank coffee.If she had one cigarette, she believed that she had to smoke at least four in a row or one of her children would be harmed in some way. If she drank one cup of coffee,she felt compelled to drink four. Karen acknowledged the unreasonableness of these rules,but,nevertheless,maintained that she felt more comfortable,when she observed them earnestly.When she was occasionally in too great a hurry to observe these rules, she experienced considerable anxiety in the form of a subjective feeling of dread and fear.

Pop Music in Africa
Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop music.The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular today,such as hip-hop,rap,rock,jazz,or reggae.The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African.It is different also in another way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today.
Eric Wainaina is one of these African musicians.He grew up in Nairobi,Kenya,in a family of musicians.As a teenager,he listened to pop music from the United States,and later he moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music.Now he has produced a CD in Kenya.Eric's most popular song,“Land of‘A Little Something'”is about Kenya's problem of bribery,or paying others for illegal favors.He wants people to listen to his songs and think about how to make Kenya a better place to live.
Another musician who writes serious songs is Witness Mwaijaga from Tanzania.Her own experiences have helped her understand the suffering of many African women.At the age of fifteen she lost her home,but she was luckier than other homeless young people.She could make a living by writing songs and singing on the street.By the time she was eighteen years old,she had become a star.Her songs are written in rap or hip-hop style about the problems that she sees in Tanzania,especially AIDS and the lack of rights for women.
Baaba Maal,from Senegal,also feels that pop music must go beyond entertainment.He says that in Senegal,storytellers have always been important people.In the past,they were the ones who kept the history of their people alive.Baaba believes that songwriters now have a similar responsibility.They must write about the world around them and help people understand how it could be better.The words of his songs are important,in fact.They speak of peace and cooperation among Africans,as well as the rights of women,love for one's family, and saving the environment.
One of South Africa's most popular musicians is Brenda Fassie.She is sometimes com-pared to Madonna,the American pop star,because she likes to shock people in her shows.But she also likes to make people think.She became famous in the 1980s for her simple pop songs against apartheid.Now that apartheid has ended,her songs are about other issues in South African culture and life.To sing about these,she uses local African languages and a new pop style called kwaito.
In recent years,people outside of Africa have also begun to listen to these young musicians.Through music,the younger generation of Africans are connecting with the rest of the world and,at the same time,influencing the rest of the world.The musicians mentioned in this passage all______.
A:write about serious problems
B:studied in the United States
C:lost their homes at a young age
D:write songs in a new pop style答案：A解析：题干意为“非洲流行音乐的不同之处是什么？”该题为细节题，利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，因为选项中出现了大量的修饰词，所以在查找相关句的过程中同时关注这些修饰词：usually,more serious, most(pop music), mostly。这样在第一段中找到相关句：Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop mu-sic.The tunes and,he rhythms of their music combine African traditions with varioes forms of music popular（与popular music呼应）today, such as hip-hop, rap, rock, jazz,or reggae.The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African.It（指上文中提到的African pop music) is different also in an-other way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“这种音乐（指非洲流行音乐）在另一方面也有所不同：很多歌曲的主题严肃，与当今非洲重要的社会问题和政治问题相关”，由此可 知非洲流行音乐比一般的流行音乐更严肃， 因此答案为B。 A“通常主题涉及爱和浪漫”和D “大部分是作为娱乐音乐”与短文内容不一致：短文明确说明非洲流行音乐主题严肃。C“在非洲的年青人中受欢迎”是短文中未提及到的信息。
题干意为“对于非洲以外的人来说，非洲流行音乐给他们的感觉是什么？”该题为细节题，利用题干及备选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，因为备选项中出现了大量修饰词，所以在查找相关句的过程中同时关注这些修饰词：same, usually, interesting, en-tirely stranee,familiar,different。这样在第一段中找到相关句：Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop music（与题干中的African pop music呼应）.The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular today,such as hip-hop,rap,rock,jazz,or reggae.The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African.It is different also in another way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“这样就使这种音乐（非洲流行音乐）令世界各地的听众听起来觉得很熟悉，而同时它又是典型的非洲音乐，这种音乐在另一方面也有所不同”，由此可知非洲流行音乐既让人感到熟悉，又有着不同之处，因此答案为D“既熟悉又不同”。 -

Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States，yet she had only just begun painting in her late seventies．As she once said of herself：“I would never sit back in a rocking-chair，waiting for someone to help me．”
She was born on a farm in New York State．At twelve she left home and was in a service until at twenty-seven，she married Thomas Moses，the tenant of hers．They farmed most of their lives．She had ten children，of whom five survived；her husband died in 1928．
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time．Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition，and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painteD．Three of the pictures were shown in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York．Between the 1930‘s and her death she produced some 2，000 pictures：careful and lively pictures of the country life she had known，with a wonderful sense of color and form．

句意：当她听到大厅外的脚步声和急促的敲门声的时候，她还没有用笔去蘸墨水。no sooner，scarcely，hardly等放在句首时要用倒装语序，根据题意，B选项符合。no sooner应与than搭配使用，所以A项错误。D项has应放在she之前。 -
第12题：
问答题Practice 7 When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people. She had not wanted a little girl at all, and when Mary was born she handed her over to the care of an Ayah, who was made to understand that if she wished to please the Mem Sahib she must keep the child out of sight as much as possible. So when she was a sickly, fretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way, and when she became a sickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way also. She never remembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and the other native servants. And as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way in everything, because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her crying, by the time she was six years old she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived. The young English governess who came to teach her to read and write disliked her so much that she gave up her place in three months, and when other governesses came to try to fill it they always went away in a shorter time than the first one. So if Mary had not chosen to really want to know how to read books she would never have learned her letters at all.正确答案：

当玛丽·劳诺克斯被送到米瑟斯威特庄园,和她舅舅一起生活的时候,每个人都说她是他们见过的长相最令人不舒服孩子。这也对,玛丽有着消瘦的脸蛋、单薄的身体、薄薄的头发和一副不高兴的表情。她的头发是黄色的,由于出生在印度并且总是因为这样或那样的原因而生病,她的脸蛋也显得那么蜡黄。玛丽的父亲在英国政府中有份工作,经常很忙也时不时地生病,她的母亲是个大美人,只关心各种聚会以及和一些男人们寻欢作乐。玛丽的母亲从来没有想过要一个小女孩,当玛丽出生后,她就把她交给奶妈来照顾,奶妈知道,如果她想让女主人高兴的话,她就必须尽可能地把这个孩子带离她的视线。所以,当玛丽还是个多病、爱哭、难看的小婴孩时,她就被带离大人们的视线。当玛丽长成为一个多病、爱哭、蹒跚学步的小孩时,她还是被带离大人们的视线。除了奶妈和其他印度仆人的黑脸,玛丽从没记得见过任何熟悉的东西。因为女主人会被她的哭声打扰到而生气,所以奶妈和仆人们非常顺从玛丽,让她为所欲为。当玛丽长到6岁时,她像一头小猪那样乖戾而自私。来教她阅读和书写的年轻英语家庭女教师非常不喜欢玛丽,三个月后就放弃了这份工作,而后来试图教她的家庭教师也总是干不到第一位那么长的时间就离开了。所以如果不是玛丽自己真的想要读书的话,恐怕她连自己的名字也不会写。解析： 暂无解析 -

Pop Music in Africa
Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop music.The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular today,such as hip-hop,rap,rock,jazz,or reggae.The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African.It is different also in another way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today.
Eric Wainaina is one of these African musicians.He grew up in Nairobi,Kenya,in a family of musicians.As a teenager,he listened to pop music from the United States,and later he moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music.Now he has produced a CD in Kenya.Eric's most popular song,“Land of‘A Little Something'”is about Kenya's problem of bribery,or paying others for illegal favors.He wants people to listen to his songs and think about how to make Kenya a better place to live.
Another musician who writes serious songs is Witness Mwaijaga from Tanzania.Her own experiences have helped her understand the suffering of many African women.At the age of fifteen she lost her home,but she was luckier than other homeless young people.She could make a living by writing songs and singing on the street.By the time she was eighteen years old,she had become a star.Her songs are written in rap or hip-hop style about the problems that she sees in Tanzania,especially AIDS and the lack of rights for women.
Baaba Maal,from Senegal,also feels that pop music must go beyond entertainment.He says that in Senegal,storytellers have always been important people.In the past,they were the ones who kept the history of their people alive.Baaba believes that songwriters now have a similar responsibility.They must write about the world around them and help people understand how it could be better.The words of his songs are important,in fact.They speak of peace and cooperation among Africans,as well as the rights of women,love for one's family, and saving the environment.
One of South Africa's most popular musicians is Brenda Fassie.She is sometimes com-pared to Madonna,the American pop star,because she likes to shock people in her shows.But she also likes to make people think.She became famous in the 1980s for her simple pop songs against apartheid.Now that apartheid has ended,her songs are about other issues in South African culture and life.To sing about these,she uses local African languages and a new pop style called kwaito.
In recent years,people outside of Africa have also begun to listen to these young musicians.Through music,the younger generation of Africans are connecting with the rest of the world and,at the same time,influencing the rest of the world.Witness Mwaijaga writes about the problem of women partly because______.
A:she has had a difficult life herself
B:there are many problems in Tanzania
C:she has had an easy life herself
D:there are no other women singers答案：A解析：题干意为“非洲流行音乐的不同之处是什么？”该题为细节题，利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，因为选项中出现了大量的修饰词，所以在查找相关句的过程中同时关注这些修饰词：usually,more serious, most(pop music), mostly。这样在第一段中找到相关句：Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop mu-sic.The tunes and,he rhythms of their music combine African traditions with varioes forms of music popular（与popular music呼应）today, such as hip-hop, rap, rock, jazz,or reggae.The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African.It（指上文中提到的African pop music) is different also in an-other way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“这种音乐（指非洲流行音乐）在另一方面也有所不同：很多歌曲的主题严肃，与当今非洲重要的社会问题和政治问题相关”，由此可 知非洲流行音乐比一般的流行音乐更严肃， 因此答案为B。 A“通常主题涉及爱和浪漫”和D “大部分是作为娱乐音乐”与短文内容不一致：短文明确说明非洲流行音乐主题严肃。C“在非洲的年青人中受欢迎”是短文中未提及到的信息。
题干意为“对于非洲以外的人来说，非洲流行音乐给他们的感觉是什么？”该题为细节题，利用题干及备选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，因为备选项中出现了大量修饰词，所以在查找相关句的过程中同时关注这些修饰词：same, usually, interesting, en-tirely stranee,familiar,different。这样在第一段中找到相关句：Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop music（与题干中的African pop music呼应）.The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular today,such as hip-hop,rap,rock,jazz,or reggae.The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African.It is different also in another way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“这样就使这种音乐（非洲流行音乐）令世界各地的听众听起来觉得很熟悉，而同时它又是典型的非洲音乐，这种音乐在另一方面也有所不同”，由此可知非洲流行音乐既让人感到熟悉，又有着不同之处，因此答案为D“既熟悉又不同”。 -

第20题：
Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States，yet she had only just begun painting in her late seventies.As she once said of herself：“I would never sit back in a rocking-chair，waiting for someone to help me.”
She was born on a farm in New York State.At twelve she left home and was in a service until at twenty-seven，she married Thomas Moses，the tenant of hers.They farmed most of their lives.She had ten children，of whom five survived;her husband died in 1928.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition，and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted.Three of the pictures were shown in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930‘s and her death she produced some 2，000 pictures：careful and lively pictures of the country life she had known，with a wonderful sense of color and form.
Which of the following would be the best title for the passageA.Grandma Moses
B.The Children of Grandma Moses
C.Grandma Moses：Her Best Pictures
D.Grandma Moses and Her First Exhibition答案：A解析： -

单选题By no means _____ to her parents.Athis is the first time has she lied

Cis this the first time she has lied
Dis this the first time she was lying
正确答案： C解析：
句意：这绝不是她第一次对父母撒谎。当有by no mean“绝不”这样的短语放在句首时，句子要倒装，所以排除A、B两项，this/it is the first time后面要用现在完成时，表示“第一次……”因此只有C项符合。
