(1).【C1】(分数:2.00)
A.number
B.amount
C.quantity
D.numbers √
解析:解析:考查名词辨析。四个选项都可表示“许多”“大量”的意思,但用法不同。a number of只修饰可数名词;a large amount of只修饰不可数名词;a quantity of,large quantities of既可修饰可数名词,又可修饰不可数名词。large numbers of只修饰可数名词。故答案为D.numbers。
(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)
A.better than
B.instead of
C.as well as √
D.rather than
解析:解析:考查逻辑关系及短语辨析。better than“比…更好”;instead of“代替”;as well as“也,又”;rather than“不顾,而不”。根据上下文,此处填入的词应表示“和…一样”的意思,所以正确答苹果怎么做
案为C.as well as。
(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)
A.Therefore
B.Yet √
C.Moreover
D.Thus
解析:解析:考查逻辑关系。前一句是说“美国创作出大量国内外都很流行的音乐剧”,而后一句指出“很难解释音乐剧新在何处,或者其美国特色”,两句间存在着意思上的转折,所以应该选B.Yet。Therefore,Thus表示因果关系;Moreover表示递进关系,均不符合题意。
(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)
A.which
B.that
C.what √
D.how
解析:解析:考查语法知识——what引导的宾语从句。
(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)
A.characteristically √
B.particularly
C.mainly
&actly
解析:解析:考查副词辨析。此处所缺之词在下文中可找到答案。Perhaps the uniqueness of America’s contribution to the ______ can best be characterized through brief…,美国音乐剧具有独特的美国特色。所以应选A.characteristically“有特点地”。particularly“特殊地,特别地”;mainly“主要地”;exactly“正确地,严密地”,均不符合题意。
(6).【C6】(分数:2.00)
A.factors
B.ingredients √
&pors
D.facts
解析:解析:考查名词辨析。factor意为“因素,要素”;ingredient意为“成分,原料”;compor意为“作曲者,作者”;fact意为“事实”。根据题意,“美国音乐剧的组成成分有了几个世纪的历史”,所以,只有B.ingredients符合题意。
(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)
&ait
B.feature
& √
D.style
解析:解析:考查名词辨析。trait“特点,特色”;feature“特点;特别节目,专栏”;genre“类型”(尤指诗歌、戏剧、小说等文学上的形式);style“文体”(尤指某一艺术家或某一时间艺术的特殊风格)。根据题意,美国对于音乐剧这一艺术“类型”做出了独一无二的贡献,所以选C.genre。
(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)
&
B.into √
C.out
D.in
解析:解析:考查动词短语辨析。burst onto“突然在…出现”;burst into“突然发生,突然爆发”;burst out“突然激动地喊叫;突然开始(做某事)”;burst in“闯进”,burst in(on/upon)“打断”。由上下文可知,音乐剧在1943年突然流行起来,因此应为burst into popularity。故正确答案为B.into。
(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)
A.struck √
&uched
C.mqq天气
oved
D.hit
解析:解析:考查动词辨析。该句意思是“百老汇的观众和批评家被音乐剧迷住了”,最佳答案应为A.struck(对身体或心灵产生某种效果)。而touch,move意为“感动(某人)”,程度均不如strike强烈;hit意为“打击,碰,撞”,均不符合题意。
(10).【C10】(分数:2.00)
A.vivacity
&iginality √
&ativity
D.dynamic
解析:解析:考查名词辨析。由文章第一句话“…the modem musical show is America’s most original and dynamic contribution towards theater”可得到提示。此外,该句下一句“Th中国最大的渔场
is new type of musical…”也有暗示,所以正确答案应为B.originality“新颖,独创”。vivacity意为“活泼,精力充沛”;dynamic意为“原动力”;creativity意为“创造力”,均不符合题意。
(11).【C11】(分数:2.00)
&ived √
B.thought
C.believed
D.perceived
解析:解析:考查惯用搭配。be conceived as意为“被想象成,被认为是”,符合句意,因此A conceived为正确答案。think,believe后一般不接as而接to be;perceive为正式用法,意思是“感觉”,均不符合题意。
(12).【C12】(分数:2.00)
A.special
B.peculiar
&ss
&al √
解析:解析:考查形容词辨析。句中的theatre不是“剧院”,而是“戏剧”,音乐鼻炎怎么引起
剧被认为是一种“全方位的(total)”戏剧形式,而非“特殊的(special)”,“奇怪的(peculiar)”,“总的、严重的(gross)”。
(13).【C13】(分数:2.00)
A.variety √
B.amument
C.sundries
D.fun
解析:解析:考查名词辨析。根据上文,由于音乐剧融剧目、音乐、抒情诗、舞蹈和舞台背景于一体,所以它不仅具有娱乐性,还具有多样性。A.variety“多样性”,符合句意,为正确答案。amument意为“娱乐”,fun意为“乐趣”,二者仍在讲娱乐性;sundries意为“杂物,杂项”,均不符合题意。
(14).【C14】(分数:2.00)
A.mix
B.join
C.put
D.share √
解析:解析:考查动词辨析。mix“混合”,多为及物动词,用在“mix…with…”中;join in“参与,参加”;put in“提出,停泊”;share in“共享,分摊”。根据文意,音乐剧众多成分集中起来,构成一个整体,形成了它独一无二的特征,最佳答案为D.share。
(15).【C15】(分数:2.00)
A.In other words √
B.To sum up
C.On the contrary
D.Generally speaking
解析:解析:考查逻辑关系及短语辨析。根据上下文可知,空格所在句是对前文的进一步补充说明,所以A.In other words符合题意,为正确答案。To sum up“总结,概括”;On the contrary“相反”;Generally speaking“一般说来”,均不符合题意。
(16).【C16】(分数:2.00)
A.ari √
B.derive
C.rai
&iginate
解析:解析:考查动词辨析。ari out of“由…中产生”,代入句中,表示“歌曲与舞蹈会自然地从剧情中产生”。derive多用在derive from中,意为“源出,起源”;rai通常为及物动词;originate多用在originate from中,意为“发源,发起”,三项均不符合题意。
(17).【C17】(分数:2.00)
A.out
&
C.forward √
D.through
解析:解析:考查动词短语辨析。carry out“实行,完成”;carry on“进行,经营”;carry forward“使…前进”;carry through“帮助(渡过难关等);完成”。根据题意,音乐剧中的音乐和舞蹈对推动剧情发展起着重要作用,所以最佳答案为C.forward。
