Question

【題目】

The Berklee College of Music is a famous music school in Boston US. It is a dream school for many musicians.

Chinese singer Wang Yuan will start studying there soon. The 18-year-old member of boy band TFBoys has been admitted to the college. Wang recently announced the news on a reality show.

Although Wang has already had many jobs in show business, such as acting and hosting, he said his favorite thing to do is play music. Wang not only sings, but also writes his own songs. He has helped to write 10 songs since he started to learn songwriting at 14.

Wang said he was quite determined when he decided to apply to the Berklee College of Music. He didn't apply to any other schools.

Instead of asking for help from college admissions agencies（機構(gòu)）, Wang completed the application process on his own. He dealt with all the English-language paperwork by himself. Sometimes, he had to use translation software to translate the documents he needed to submit（提交）.

Wang is popular in China, but he is not well-known abroad. He had to interview and audition （試鏡）just like the other students. Since he was busy with work, he was the last applicant from Beijing to finish the audition and interview process. "I was nervous, actually. If I failed, I wouldn't have any other choices," he said.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

很多學生都知道TF boys組合里的王源，他現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)是非常著名的歌手了。王源不僅唱歌，他還自己寫歌，他非常喜愛音樂，而且他經(jīng)過努力被美國伯克利音樂學院錄取。

【1】推理判斷題。短文第一段介紹了著名的伯克利音樂學院，它是很多音樂家夢想中的學校。這一段的寫作目的是引入文章的話題，為下文介紹王源被該校錄取做鋪墊，讓讀者對文章的話題產(chǎn)生興趣。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中 “The 18-year-old member of boy band TFBoys has been admitted to the college.”可知，王源現(xiàn)在18歲了。再根據(jù)下一段 “since he started to learn songwriting at 14.”可知，他從14歲開始寫歌，所以應該是在4年前。故選D。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段 “He didn't apply to any other schools.”以及第六段"I was nervous, actually. If I failed, I wouldn't have any other choices," he said.可知，王源只申請了伯克利音樂學院這一個學校，如果他失敗了，他就沒有了其他的選擇，所以試鏡和面試時他非常的緊張。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段 “Although Wang has already had many jobs in show business, such as acting and hosting, he said his favorite thing to do is play music.”可知，雖然王源在演藝界有很多的工作，但是他最喜歡的還是音樂。故選D。根據(jù)第一段 “It is a dream school for many musicians.”可知，伯克利音樂學院是很多音樂家的夢想，不僅僅只是對中國人，故A不對；根據(jù)短文最后 “He will study at the college of his dreams.”可知，王源將會去伯克利音樂學院學習，不是已經(jīng)在那里學習了，故B不對；根據(jù)第五段 “Instead of asking for help from college admissions agencies（機構(gòu)）, Wang completed the application process on his own.”可知，王源沒有向大學招生機構(gòu)求助，故C不對。

這篇短文給我們講述的是TF boys成員王源經(jīng)過努力被伯克利音樂學院錄取。短文中涉及的人物和事件是學生們比較熟悉的，可以幫助學生們更好的理解短文。題型是閱讀理解，考查了細節(jié)理解、推理判斷兩種題型。做題時，應先通讀短文，了解文章大意；然后根據(jù)題目所問以及題型特點，使用一些閱讀技巧，如略讀、跳讀、回讀等，根據(jù)文章相關(guān)信息，結(jié)合選項，選擇最佳答案。細節(jié)題通常比較簡單，答案可以在文章中直接找到。如第2小題，這個題目應注意文章中給出的數(shù)字線索，在短文第二段和第三段可以找到答案。推理判斷題難度稍大，學生們應根據(jù)文意做出合理的推測和判斷。如第4小題，這是一個判斷題，做題時，應將每個選項的內(nèi)容都在文章中找出依據(jù)，用排除法作答。
