解析

这篇文章主要告诉我们New Milford High School的学生参加了一次考试，如果考试不通过，音乐系就会关闭。考试任务很难。学生们很担心。最后，校长说这只是电视真人秀。小题1:主旨大意题。这篇文章主要是关于音乐学院，音乐系陷入麻烦。故选C小题2:推理判断题。根据The students had to pass a test, or the department(系) would be shut down.句意：学生不得不通过考试，否则音乐系会关闭。这是学生考试前紧张的原因。这次考试决定音乐系的将来。故选D小题3:推理判断题。根据“I thought it was over,” said Bryan Oln-Santana, a junior. “The person next to me was crying. I felt bad for her. I felt bad for mylf, too, becau music is everything to me.”句意：一个初中生Bryan Oln-Santana说：“我以为结束了。我旁边的人哭了。我替她感到难过。我也为自己感到难过因为音乐对我来说就是一切。”可知Bryan Oln-Santana非常喜欢音乐。故选B。小题4:词义猜测题。从上下文中得知一切都是假的。因此fake意为假扮，故选B小题5:细节理解题。根据As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and school supplies.句意：作为结束玩笑的奖赏，学生们得到礼物：MP3、数码相机、学习用品。可知学生没有得到钱。故选A考点：

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“More than 50 music s.....”主要考查你对 [新闻报道类阅读 ]考点的理解。

新闻报道类阅读

报刊阅读应逐步成为中学生阅读的一个重要内容。由于新闻报道强调遵循5个W和1个H的原则，学生在阅读时也要抓住这一点去理解。

新闻报道类阅读的注意事项：1. 品味新闻的标题，联系平时所积累的知识，为了解材料大意作铺垫。 2. 了解新闻报道的特殊规律，其内容和多含何人、何地、何事、何时等，阅读时要抓住新闻的这一主要特点去理解判断。 3. 要注意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是材料的核心或至少是一部分内容的概括。 新闻报道类阅读答题技巧：

1.审视标题，抓住中心

试题中有的文章有标题，有的没有，拟题人是有所考虑的。标题是文章主题的高度凝聚。它能给我们启发和想象，想象文章的内容和走向。这样做有利于对文章的理解，能提高做题的效率。

2.浏览全文，掌握全貌

如果时间紧，至少要快速通读全文，尤其是首两段。再把标题和文章内容结合起来，这样全文的梗概便一目了然了。

3.细读题目，抓住要点

对整篇短文内容有了一定的了解后，要马上看短文后的问题，带着问题去选择或判断答案。要确定所需查找的信息范围，并注意所查找信息的特点。例如：如果问题或选项涉及到人名、地名，就应该找首字母大写的单词；如果问题或选项涉及时间、日期、数字，就应该寻找具体的数据。另外还要注意试题难易，应暂时绕开那些少数较难的题目，先做最有把握、最熟悉的题目，也就是该类题可以直接或间接从文章中找到的。而对于那些要通过对文章归纳判断、逻辑推理的题目，需要再对全文快速阅读，仔细分析思考，反复比较、推敲选出正确答案。若文章短可先读短文，后看文后题目；如果文章太长，你可以先把文章后面的问题看一遍，带着问题去看文章。这样可以帮助你去掉杂念，提高阅读速度和解题的正确性。要善于找关键句，特别要注意文章的第一段和最后一段的头一句话，往往就是关键句，可以帮助你掌握文章的全貌，理解文章的主题。此外，还应该细读文章，因为有时的试题是考细节。可以边读边用铅笔做点标记，把有关的画出来。凡逢人物就圈起来，看完一数，有几个圈就是几个人，一目了然。

4.细读文章，掌握细节

这次应细品，不可一晃而过。可边读边用铅笔做些记录，把有关的人物、事件、时间、地点、起因（即五个W：who， what， when， where， why）划出来。经过这样的处理，你对文章的内容和细节便会胸有成竹，对事态的发生、发展和解决有了更加深入的了解。

5.理解大意，初选答案

一般短文都设有五个题目，对那些表层理解的题目可以断然选定。对那些深层理解的题目，应再查阅原文，但决不是简单重读，应找出依据，把所答案代入文中，再确定正误。在确定答案时，对文章和题中的词语应结合上下文思考其确切意思，切忌望文生义，作出错误的判断。

6.复读全文，核对答案

要用全文的主题思想统率各思考题，研究其内在的联系和逻辑关系，并依次审核那些未获解答的题，对照题目，推测判断，确保理解无误。

7.瞻前顾后，首尾突破

对一具体问题不要局限于一词一事，而应从短文整体考虑，从主线向外扩展，打开思路，前后上下对照。这样，可减少“钻牛角尖”和“繁琐分析”。而且，在中考试题中，即使是事实和细节题，也是“围绕或用以说明主旨和大意”的。大多数短文，尤其是新闻报道或议论文的第一段，或每段的第一句，常包含了全文的主要信息或基本观点；而结尾部分常是结局或结论。寓言或幽默文字的结尾也往往是点晴之笔或值得玩味之处。因此，抓住首尾往往抓住了主要矛盾，主要矛盾解决了，次要矛盾也就迎刃而解了。
