After paying £20 for my racing red ukulele at a Denmark Street music shop, I happily turned up to the “Ukulele Hootenany” at a club near Liverpool Street. The host came around and tuned it for me. I went to get a drink from the bar and was about to start playing when the little man approached again and said, “Let me tune that again for you.” I hesitated, wanting to reassure him that I’d not touched it since its last tuning but he took it and returned a few minutes later saying, “I’ve tuned it, but it won’t be worth it—use this one instead. And he handed me a racing red version of a more expensive ukulele that I happily handled clumsily with that night.
You can master the basics online and come along expecting to be able to play the most commonly used chords. Just don’t expect to fluently flip (弹) between them without any mistakes. It is easier said than done.
What makes this hobby unique is the fact that it’s not seen as “serious” or “proper” instrument, so it all tracts those more likely to pick it up for fun. That night’s crew were a random collection of around 30 people ranging from 20 to 60, with various shaped and sized ukuleles and various levels of ability.
We sat around a table, with two song books in front of us, and the “leader” called out a page number as we flipper through to a well-known Johnny Cash or Queen tune and did our best to keep up. Later on we got to argue—a Lady Gaga here, an Eric Clapton there.
But the part I enjoyed the most and that I wasn’t expecting was the singalong. Everyone sang, and as no one eared about your singing abilities, people had lot of fun when they were harmonizing and putting on a heavy Southern accent even if it’s not a country song. What it resulted in was a hobby with a unique mix and thus one of my favorites; it was cheap, social, and above all great fun.
4. Which of the following words can best describe the host?
A. Strict and responsible. B. Considerate and generous
C. Friendly and stubborn. D. Ambitious and professional
5. Who does the ukulele appeal to most?
A. People who are serious musicians.
B. People who are keen on classical music.
C. People who seek pleasure in playing despite mistakes.
D. People who expect social interactions with strangers.
6. What can you infer from the passage?
A. Each member of the crew played excellent tunes.
B. They couldn’t produce a consistent rhythm while playing.
C. The author was good at singing country songs.
D. The author couldn’t catch up with others during the singalong part.
7. How did the author feel that night?
A. embarrassed B. moody C. cheerful D. optimistic
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了作者的爱好--尤克里里，这项爱好的独特之处在于，它并不被视为“严肃”或“恰当”的乐器，所以它吸引了那些更有可能把它当作娱乐的人。它是一种独特的混合爱好，也是作者的最爱之一；它很便宜，很合群，最重要的是很有趣。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。本题题干意为：下面哪个词最能描述俱乐部主人?根据文章第一段The host came around and tuned it for me. I went to get a drink from the bar and was about to start playing when the little man approached again and said, “Let me tune that again for you.”（主持人过来为我调音。我走到吧台拿了点饮料，正准备开始演奏时，那个矮个男人又走过来，说道：“让我再为你调一遍” ），说明俱乐部的主人很体贴；再根据but he took it and returned a few minutes later saying, “I’ve tuned it, but it won’t be worth it—use this one instead. And he handed me a racing red version of a more expensive ukulele that I happily handled clumsily with that night. 但他接了过去，几分钟后回来说：“我调过音了，但不值得——还是用这台吧。”他递给我一个红色的赛车版的更贵的尤克里里琴，那天晚上我很高兴地笨拙地摆弄着它。让作者用他的较好尤克里里说明俱乐部的主人很慷慨。故答案为B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。本题题干意为：尤克里里最吸引谁?根据文章第三段that makes this hobby unique is the fact that it’s not seen as “serious” or “proper” instrument, so it all tracts those more likely to pick it up for fun. 这项爱好的独特之处在于，它并不被视为“严肃”或“恰当”的乐器，所以它吸引了那些更有可能把它当作一种乐趣的人。可知尤克里里吸引了把它当做乐趣的人。故答案为C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。本题题干意为：从文章中可以推断出什么？根据文章倒数第二段We sat around a table, with two song books in front of us, and the “leader” called out a page number as we flipper through to a well-known Johnny Cash or Queen tune and did our best to keep up. Later on we got to argue—a Lady Gaga here, an Eric Clapton there. 我们围坐在一张桌子旁，面前放着两本歌本，当我们快速翻阅约翰尼·卡什或皇后乐队的著名歌曲时，“领唱员”大声喊出页码，并尽力跟上节奏。后来我们又产生了争执——这里是Lady Gaga，那里是Eric Clapton。说明这些人在一起弹奏歌曲时，弹奏的曲调不一样，节奏不一致。B项They couldn’t produce a consistent rhythm while playing.（他们在演奏时不能产生一致的节奏。）符合题意。故答案为B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。本题题干意为：那天晚上作者的感受是怎么样的？根据文章最后一段中What it resulted in was a hobby with a unique mix and thus one of my favorites; it was cheap, social, and above all great fun. 它的结果是一种独特的混合爱好，因此也是我的最爱之一;它很便宜，很合群，最重要的是很有趣。故作者的感受是快乐的。C项cheerful快乐的，符合题意。故答案为C。
C
We’ve all heard of smart phones, but how about smart clothing? The Cute-Circuit company has stepped up the technology beat and invented the SoundShirt, which was designed specifically for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. How does this incredible shirt work?
First, let’s talk about a little science. People who have either all or some hearing loss don’t actually listen to music the way that hearing people do, but they can feel it. Sound is made up of vibrations, called sound waves, which hearing people can hear through their ears with the help of the brain. What’s really cool is that deaf people sense vibrations in the part of the brain that others use for hearing!
So how is this remarkable technology able to function? First, CuteCircuit had to figure out a way to send signals to the body, kind of like how you can feel when your phone vibrates in silent mode. Those connections the body can feel are called haptics (触觉学), a use of technology that simulates the senses of touch and motion. The SoundShirt has tiny sensors woven into the shirt to pick up sound and transfer signals to the brain and body.
To test this music-to-shirt-to-wearer’s brain connection, CuteCircuit set microphones around the stage of a symphony orchestra. The shirt’s computer system digitally received the sounds coming from the instruments. Then the sensors, working like little motors, changed the signals into vibrations and the shirt wearer’s brain did the rest.
The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music in a unique way. The very deep musical sound, or pitch, of instruments like drums and basses vibrates in the lower part of the shirt. Higher pitched sounds from instruments like the flute or violin vibrate higher, around the neck and arms. As the music plays, the sensations combine while the brain gets to work putting together all the different vibrations, allowing the wearer to “hear” the concert.
You might think this innovation would look like something out of a science fiction movie, but in fact, these shirts are wireless! And the decorative laser-lined design on the shirt looks like an image of sound waves.
Technology’s purpose is to help people and make life better. Think of all the amazing things designers, engineers, and producers of wearable tech will be able to do for humankind.
8. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Wearable technology like the SoundShirt is the wave of the future.
B. CuteCircuit tested the SoundShirt with a symphony orchestra
C. The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music.
D. Deep musical sounds from drums vibrate in the lower part of the SoundShirt.
9. What’s the meaning of the underlined word?
A. to be made to look like something else. B. to press something hard
C. to mark something D. to join one thing to another.
10. What can be inferred about the SoundShirt described in the passage?
A. Before the SoundShirt, deaf people had no way of feeling sound.
B. The SoundShirt doesn’t work without the power of the human brain.
C. The SoundShirt works when the wearer is listening to a symphony orchestra.
D. CuteCircuit is giving away its SoundShirts to those deaf or hard of hearing.
11. Why does the writer write this passage?
A. To advise that companies should focus on applying wearable technology.
B. To advocate that technology can be used to create products that help others.
C. To prove that the design of wearable technology is a rewarding industry in future.
D. To exemplify that musical instruments can be used to change technology for the better.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Cute-Circuit公司专为失聪的人或听力不好设计了一种名为SoundShirt装置，可以让他们欣赏到音乐。文章还说明了这种装置的工作原理，最后作者指出科技的目的是帮助人们，让生活更美好。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中We’ve all heard of smart phones, but how about smart clothing? The Cute-Circuit company has stepped up the technology beat and invented the SoundShirt, which was designed specifically for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.(我们都听说过智能手机，但是智能服装呢？Cute-Circuit公司加快了科技步伐，发明了专为聋人或听力不好人士设计的“SoundShirt”)以及倒数第三段中The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music in a unique way.(SoundShirt让失聪或听力不好的人以一种独特的方式享受音乐)结合文章主要介绍了Cute-Circuit公司专为失聪的人或听力不好设计了一种名为SoundShirt装置，可以让他们欣赏到音乐。文章还说明了这种装置的工作原理，最后作者指出科技的目的是帮助人们，让生活更美好。由此可知，这篇文章的主要内容是SoundShirt让失聪或听力不好的人享受音乐。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文First, CuteCircuit had to figure out a way to send signals to the body, kind of like how you can feel when your phone vibrates in silent mode. Those connections the body can feel are called haptics以及后文the senses of touch and motion可知首先，CuteCircuit必须想办法向身体发送信号，就像你的手机在静音模式下震动的感觉一样。这些身体可以感受到的连接被称为触觉学，这种一种被用来模拟触觉和运动感觉的技术。由此可知，划线词与A选项“被做得像别的东西”意思最为接近。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中People who have either all or some hearing loss don’t actually listen to music the way that hearing people do, but they can feel it. Sound is made up of vibrations, called sound waves, which hearing people can hear through their ears with the help of the brain. What’s really cool is that deaf people sense vibrations in the part of the brain that others use for hearing!(那些听力完全或部分丧失的人并不像听力正常的人那样听音乐，但他们能感觉到。声音是由振动组成的，被称为声波，听觉的人可以通过他们的耳朵在大脑的帮助下听到。真正酷的是，聋人能在别人用来听的那部分大脑中感觉到振动！)；第四段中Then the sensors, working like little motors, changed the signals into vibrations and the shirt wearer’s brain did the rest.(然后，像小马达一样工作的传感器将信号转换为振动，剩下的工作由SoundShirt佩戴者的大脑完成)以及第五段中As the music plays, the sensations combine while the brain gets to work putting together all the different vibrations, allowing the wearer to “hear” the concert.(随着音乐响起，大脑将所有不同的振动组合在一起时，感觉就会结合起来，让佩戴者“听到”音乐会)由此可推知，失聪或听力不好的人，大脑能够感受到物体震动，所以SoundShirt要借助大脑来组合这些振动，最后他们才能“听到音乐”，所以没有人脑的力量，SoundShirt就不能工作。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Technology’s purpose is to help people and make life better. Think of all the amazing things designers, engineers, and producers of wearable tech will be able to do for humankind.可知科技的目的是帮助人们，让生活更美好。想想那些可穿戴技术的设计师、工程师和生产商将能为人类做到的令人惊叹的事情吧。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了倡导用科技创造出帮助他人的产品。故选B。
D
In November, 2008, voters in California approved one of the most ambitious government infrastructure (基础设施) projects in. U.S. history; a bullet train connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles, at a cost of $33 billion. For years, however people have watched the projected costs mount, with the last estimates over $75 billion.
On Tuesday, the governor of the state Gavin Newsom called for the state to scale back the project to a less costly rail that would run through the Central valley. California voters can stop seizing their wallets. But voters elsewhere should pay close attention, because what happened in California problem that face any U.S. rail project, or any infrastructure project that tries to meaningfully reshape U. S.
In other places of the world, major population centers are much closer to each other, which is a basic requirement far high-speed rail. Imagine what it would take to build a line from New York City to Los Angeles or to Chicago, Houston or Phoenix.
Of course, some cities look ripe for rail, but instead of high-speed rail between these cities, we have the Acela, which takes eight hours to travel from Washington to Boston and shakes like a maraca player. Why haven’t we built something better? Because truly high-speed rail needs to travel in a fairly straight line; you don’t want to be taking a sharp curve at 300 miles per hour. Building newer, better, straighter rail lines would require the government to buy all the land between Point A and Point B and tear down anything that happened to be in the way. But in fact, there are a great deal of highly valuable estates instead of farms.
For historical reasons, the U. S. legal system offers citizens rights with which they can attempt to block government projects. Any project bigger than painting a schoolhouse has to either fight out the constant reviews and court cases for years, or buy off the opponents.
12. What happened on Tuesday in California?
A. Voters were raising funds for a new railway.
B. It was purposed that the hill of high railway was adjusted.
C. The governor of the slate declared the opening of a new railway.
D. The governor of the state discovered a vital problem in the railway project.
13. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and 4?
A. It is reasonable to build a high-speed railway from New York to Chicago.
B. Acela is a kind of train in place of high-speed train which provides pleasant feelings.
C. High-Speed train frequently takes a sharp curve during the travel.
D. The estates located on the straight rail line are very expensive to purchase.
14. What is the current situation of American legal system?
A. It meets the requirements of American citizens.
B. It allows American residents to block most government projects.
C. It is not efficient in dealing with practical problems.
D. It requires much expense to accomplish something.
15. What can be suitable title for the text?
A Absence of American High-Speed Rail B. An American State with New Railway
C. A New Policy on American Railway D. The History of American Railway
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A

It was very cold and there was few people in the street. I was going home after jogging last night while I sensed something following me. Feeling a little frightened, I was quickened my pace hoping to get home as early as possible. Just at that moment, I heard a strange noise, that made my heart beat wildly. I looked around only to find the little dog walking behind me. It scare me so much that I held my breath. Trembled with cold, the little dog looked so pity. So we decided to take it home in case it was frozen death.
【答案】1. was→were
2. while→when
3.去掉quickened前面的was
4. that→which
5. the→a
6. scare→scared
7. Trembled→Trembling
8. pity→pitiful
9. we→I
10. frozen后加to
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者昨晚慢跑回家时，发现了一只小狗跟在自己后面，看小狗可怜把小狗带回家的故事。
【详解】1.考查主谓一致。there be句型中，谓语动词的单复数形式通常和邻近的主语保持一致，即此处与few people保持一致，应用复数。故 was改为were。
2.考查固定句型。句意：昨晚我正慢跑回家，这时我感觉到有什么东西在跟着我。表示“某人正要做某事，这时……”句型为sb. be doing sth. when…。故 while改为when。
3.考查动词语态。主语I与谓语动词quicken为主动关系。故去掉quickened前面的was。
4.考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词noise，且先行词在从句中作主语，指物，故应用which。that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故 that改为which。
5.考查冠词。dog此处为泛指“一只狗”应用不定冠词，且little是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，故应用a。故 the改为a。
6.考查动词时态。根据上文I was going home after jogging last night可知事情发生在昨晚，应用一般过去时。故 scare改为scared。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意：这只冷得发抖的小狗看起来很可怜。分析句子结构可知tremble在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语the little dog构成主动关系，故应用现在分词作定语。故 Trembled改为Trembling。
8.考查形容词。此处look为系动词，后跟形容词pitiful，作表语，表示“可怜的”。故 pity改为pitiful。
9.考查代词。句意：所以我决定把它带回家，以防它冻死。根据上文可知文章讲述的是“我”的故事，没有其他人，故应用I。故 we改为I。
10.考查固定短语。句意同上。表示“被冻死”短语为be frozen to death。故 frozen后加to。
