Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一詞。

Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is part of many people's lives, whether it is played on the radio on your drive to work or played in a concert. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.

Both have a writing system.

In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. So just as you read English, you can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.

Both vary with culture.

You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.

Both share emotion.

How do you know that I am angry? Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down. I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.

【解析】

本文主要介紹了語言和音樂的相似之處，語言是我們?nèi)粘Ｉ�活中的一部分，同樣音樂也是，因此，它們在我們的文化中起著重要的作用�?/span>

【1】根據(jù)第一段最后一句“Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.”可知下文是圍繞語言和音樂的相似性展開，How后面需跟形容詞或者副詞，由于謂語動詞是are，所以用形容詞，故填similar。

【2】根據(jù)第一個黑體加粗標(biāo)題“Both have a writing system.”可知兩者都有書面系統(tǒng)，根據(jù)同列的“Varying with culture”和“Sharing emotion”可知應(yīng)用have的現(xiàn)在分詞形式，而且需要注意開頭大寫，故填Having。

【3】根據(jù)第二段“In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters.”可知我們用字母來記錄語言，題目中language作主語，因此需要用被動，填過去分詞，故填recorded。

【4】根據(jù)第二段最后一句“We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.”可知我們可以通過讀文字、聽音樂來知曉百年以前作者的想法，故答案為ideas。

【5】根據(jù)第三段第二句“we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music”可知世界各地的音樂風(fēng)格不同，可以通過音樂來了解不同的文化，也就是說每個地方因為有著自己獨有的文化而賦予了當(dāng)?shù)匾魳返娘L(fēng)格，因此填culture。

【6】根據(jù)第三段最后一句“styles of music are different around the world…providing us with music for every situation.”可知不同風(fēng)格的音樂給我們提供了適合不同場景的音樂，根據(jù)題目這里填謂語動詞，全文是一般現(xiàn)在時，故填provide。

【7】根據(jù)最后一段第二句“but you will know for sure through my words.”當(dāng)然可以通過我的語言來知曉我的情緒，這里用副詞來修飾tell the writer's feelings，故答案為surely。

【8】根據(jù)最后一段第四句“Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling”可知，音樂也能展示作曲者的情緒，故填composer’s。

【9】根據(jù)文章最后一句“I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.”中的it指代前面一句的music，也就是用音樂和歌詞一起來表達情緒，故填music。

【10】根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句“Both language and music play a huge role in our culture”可知語言和音樂都對我們的文化起著重要作用，介詞of后需跟名詞，故填importance。

做任務(wù)型閱讀，除了定位準(zhǔn)確以外，還需要注意對比文章中的句子和題目中的句子，注意表達方式的區(qū)別。比如第3小題，文章中的表述為“In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters.”，但是題目中卻改為了language作主語，因此需要由主動改被動，填過去分詞。
