【1】句意：有一天，一位有魔力的人給了這個國王一把豎琴。

girl女孩；king國王；family家庭。根據(jù)前文“a king loved music so much that he searched the world for the best instrument”講的是一位國王的故事，可知此處是指這位國王，故選B。

【2】句意：國王將豎琴帶回了宮中，但是當他彈奏豎琴時，聲音聽起來特別糟糕。

when當……時；before在……之前；because因為。根據(jù)后文“the harp sounded terrible”，可知是當彈琴時，琴聲不好聽，故選A。

【3】句意：許多其他人也嘗試了。

another另一個；other其他的；others其他人或物。此處修飾其后名詞people，排除C選項；根據(jù)其前有many修飾，可知排除A，故選B。

【4】句意：他們一直認為這個豎琴是沒用的，國王被愚弄了。

【7】句意：事實上這是一把有魔力的豎琴，它只會被那些非常努力的人彈奏好。

she她；it它；he他。此處指代前文提及的豎琴，應該用it來指代，故選B。

listened聽，側(cè)重動作；heard聽見，側(cè)重結(jié)果；sounded聽起來，系動詞。根據(jù)后文接music作賓語，可知此處側(cè)重聽到的結(jié)果，故選B。

with和；of……的；by通過。根據(jù)固定搭配be filled with意為“充滿……”，故選A。

Different people have different ideas about time. People in the U.S. think that it is important to know the time. In cities in America, there are clocks in stations, factories and other buildings. Radio announcers (播音員) tell you the correct time during the day. Most Americans also have watches with them wherever they go. They want to do certain things at certain time. They don’t like to be late.

But time is not so important to everybody in the world. When you visit a country in South America, you will find that people there don’t like to rush. If you had an appointment with somebody, he could probably be late, because he may not want to arrive on time.

In South America, even the radio program may not begin on time. The men on the radio may not think it is important to tell the exact time. People in South America think that clocks or watches are just machines. They think that you let a clock or a watch control your life if you do everything on time.
