Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later. 一、单词拼写1.stream2.possess3.remarkable4.vast5.reputation6.brilliant 7extraordinary8.upset9.uplifting10.geniuses二、单句语法填空1.abandoned2.enthusiastic3.gifted4.prediction5.depression6.possession7.desperately8.performancepletely10.appreciation三、阅读理解1.C细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，音乐疗法对于短期疼痛疗效显著，但是对于慢性疼痛则收效甚微，即音乐疗法并不适用于所有的病人。2.D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中所讲的Dr.Linda Chlan的研究结果以及最后一段中的“Music can be .stressful thoughts.”可知，愉快的音乐可以分散大脑的注意力，从而缓解人们的紧张情绪。3.B代词指代题。画线词it所在的句子的意思是“音乐是一种强有力的可以分散大脑注意力的东西，愉快的音乐可以缓解人们的紧张情绪”。由此可知it指代音乐。4.A写作意图题。作者通过介绍两位医生的调查研究告诉我们音乐可以减轻病人的疼痛以及缓解人们的压力。四、读后续写Finally, he touched somethinga shoe, then an ankle.He pulled Tiara toward him.Her body was weak and she wasn't breathing.He hugged her into his arms and stood.He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks.Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness.Surrell put Tiara down on the porch.He started CPRthe first time he'd ever done so.Soon she opened her eyes and took a breath on her own.Surrel's throat closed off.Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later.He suffered severe burns to his windpipe and the upper portion of his lungs.He spent over a week in the hospital.The fire worsened Surrell's pulmonary condition, and he feels the effects even two years later.As a result, he takes extra medication that helps open his airways.“It's a small price to pay，” he says.“I'd do it again in a heartbeat.Wouldn't give it a second thought.”第10页（共10页）
