Shanbo和 Zhu Yingtai之间为并列关系,故用并列连词and。3.represents考查时态和主谓一致。由上文的begins可知这里用一般现在时;which引导定语从句且在从句中作主语,先行词section是第三人称单数,故谓语动词用单数形式。4.are separated考查时态、语态和主谓一致。由前后文时态可知,这里应用一般现在时,the lovers和动词separate之间为被动关系,表示被分开,故用被动语态;主语the lovers为复数形式,故be动词用are。5.into考查固定搭配。turn into.为固定搭配,意为“变成”。6.which考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Country music,设空处在从句中作主语,故用which。7.became考查时态。根据此处的时间状语in the 1940s可知,此处陈述的是过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时。8.musicians考查名词的单复数。musician为可数名词,根据常识可知,乡村音乐家和歌手很多,结合该句的谓语动词use可知,主语用复数形式。9.thought考查词性转换。根据介词in可知,设空处用名词形式;be deep in thought为固定搭配,意为“陷入沉思”,在句中作宾语补足语。10.peaceful考查形容词。形容词修饰名词,设空处和green一起修饰后面的名词fields,故用形容词形式,表示“安静的绿色田野”。二、阅读理解1.D细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“Like many people，he left for California hunting for work”可知，Woody Guthrie去加利福尼亚是为了寻找工作。2.C细节理解题。通读第三段可知，女儿的死对Woody Guthrie的打击非常大，他因此变得消沉而且缺乏创作的灵感，并且开始酗酒。3.A细节理解题。由第二段最后一句可知，Woody Guthrie最著名的歌曲是This Land is Your Land。4.C推理判断题。通读全文可知，Woody Guthrie是在民间音乐方面做出了杰出的贡献，而非在古典音乐方面。三、阅读七选五1G空前“Regardless of which category you fall into，though，you must have secretly wondered about the best time to head out the door.”谈到人们参加聚会时都思考过什么时候离开最合适。空后“Not only do you want to avoid being impolite，but you also don't want to overstay your welcome.”谈到既要避免不礼貌地过早离开，又要考虑不过度逗留。对应G选项“找到离开聚会最自然的时间可能是一种艺术形式”，故选G。2B空前“According to Blaikie，there is a golden time to leave the gathering without appearing rude.”谈到了礼仪专家Blaikie认为礼貌地离开聚会有一个黄金时间，因此本段应该谈离开聚会的具体时间。所以，本空谈在工作日的晚上聚会的话，10：30是离开的黄金时间，故选B。3A上文说了工作日离开的最佳时间，结合本空后面一句“Aim to say your goodbyes at 11：15 pm.”实际上回答了如果在周末晚上聚会的话，什么时候离开最合适的问题，故选A。4E根据空后的内容“Chatting with a drink in your hand can easily make you lose track of the time.”和“After all，your host is tired out”可知，本段在谈应该拒绝关于餐后饮品的邀请，因为这样会把控不了时间，况且主人也很累了。因此E选项作为本段主题句是最恰当的，故选E。5F本段第一句“This advice depends on how well you know your host，of course.”谈到了这些建议要根据你对主人的了解程度来使用。本空后面的“He also might appreciate it if you stayed behind to help clean up.In that case，you'll need to know the best cleaning tips for a dinner party.”暗示了好朋友可能真的希望你留下来帮助他清理。据此可推知，如果你拒绝餐后的邀请，你的好朋友可能会伤心，故选F。第10页（共10页）
