1.1.
A on
B in
C at
D for
解析:选B。年份前需要用介词in,是固定的时间介词用法,2018为具体年份,因此正确答案为B。
2.2.
A got
B gave
C paid
D showed
解析:选A。固定搭配get attention from sb. 表示“得到某人的关注”,文章整体为一般过去时,需用get的过去式got;give(给予)、pay(支付)、show(展示)均不符合该搭配和语境,故选 A。
3.3.
A finishes
B avoids
C loves
D minds
解析:选C。上下文提及彭静旋7岁开始弹古筝,还远赴海外在街头弹奏古筝传播文化,能看出她热爱弹古筝;finish(完成)、avoid(避免)、mind(介意)均不符合语境,故选C。
4.4.
A America
B France
C Canada
D Australia
解析:选B。后文出现关键词Paris(巴黎),巴黎是法国的首都,由此可知她前往法国深造;America(美国)、Canada(加拿大)、Australia(澳大利亚)均不符合语境,故选B。
5.5.
A but
B so
C or
D and
解析:选D。“尝试在街头弹古筝”和“受到热烈欢迎”是顺承并列的关系,and可用来连接顺承的动作;but(但是,表转折)、so(所以,表因果)、or(或者,表选择)均不符合逻辑,故选D。
6.6.
A tell
B speak
C talk
D say
解析:选A。固定搭配tell stories表示“讲故事”,是英语中表达“讲述故事”的标准搭配;speak后多接具体语言,talk为不及物动词常与with/to/about搭配使用,say后接具体的说话内容,均不符合搭配要求,故选A。
7.7.
A a
B an
C /
D the
解析:选D。此处为固定句型“the +比较级,the +比较级”,表示“越……,就越……”,本句指弹的曲目越多,内心就越自豪,因此需用定冠词the,故选D。
8.8.
A nervously
B carefully
C suddenly
D unexpectedly
解析:选B。彭静旋挑选的音乐包含传统古筝曲目和带有中国元素的流行歌曲,其目的是更好地传播中国文化,说明她是精心挑选音乐;nervously(紧张地)、suddenly(突然地)、unexpectedly(出乎意料地)均不符合语境,故选B。
9.9.
A interested
B strict
C poor
D weak
解析:选A。固定搭配be interested in表示“对…… 感兴趣”,本句是彭静旋的梦想,即让更多人对古筝产生兴趣;strict(严格的)、poor(贫穷的)、weak(虚弱的)均不符合搭配和语境,故选A。
10.10.
A doctors
B workers
C artists
D scientists
解析:选C。在世界各地传播中国传统文化的这类人群,对应的身份是艺术家;doctor(医生)、worker(工人)、scientist(科学家)的职业属性均与文化传播无关,故选C。
