surprise you._2_， logic would suggest that music downloads and online streaming are good for the environment. but must it surely be more environmentally friendly? even though streamed music is

became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table”可知，在六岁时，杰米特纳听到父亲在餐桌上用一玻璃杯水演奏音乐，开始对玻璃竖琴产生兴趣。据此可知，d项正确。2d考查细节理解。根据第四段第三、四句“he then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound”可知，杯子中的水量不同，产生的音调也不同；添加或去掉少量水就会改变声音。据此可知，玻璃竖琴的声音受杯子中水量的影响，故d项正确。3b考查细节理解。根据第五段第一句“turner always uses lowpriced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound”可知，特纳总是使用低价玻璃杯是因为其声音听起来比昂贵的水晶杯好听，故b项正确。4a考查主旨大意。根据第一段“jamey turner often performs to large crowds in old town alexandria, virginia. you can find him playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp(竖琴)，near alexandrias historic waterfront”并结合全文其他内容可知，本文主要讲述了一位音乐家为人群演奏玻璃竖琴的故事。故a项最适合作本文标题。b体裁：说明文题材：健康主题：保护听力【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了听力受损的原因以及如何预防听力受损。【难句分析】often, headphone users fail to realize theyre listening to audio at unsafe levels until serious hearing problems suddenly occur.分析：句中“theyre listening to audio at unsafe levels”为省略了that的宾语从句；until引导时间状语从句。译文：通常，耳机使用者直到严重的听力问题突然出现，才会意识到他们在不安全的(音量)等级听音频。5c考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“the same thing not only occurs to musicians. at risk of losing their hearing”可知，不仅是音乐家，普通的听音乐者也会长期暴露于嘈杂的声音中，由此而导致全球10亿多年龄在12至35岁的人有丧失听力的风险。由此可推知，忽视声音污染可能导致听力丧失。6b考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“early prevention, early identification and early treatment”可知，yang shiming建议人们提前预防来应对听力丧失。7a考查词义猜测。根据画线词后一句中的“once the hearing loss occurs. what it was before”可知，一旦听力受损，回到以前的状态已为时太晚，画线词所在句表示不论是先天的还是后天的，听力丧失通常是不可挽回的，由此可推知，画线词与a项含义相近。8d考查主旨大意。根据文章第一段第二句，并结合文章其他内容可知，文章围绕听力受损这一主题展开，分析了听力受损的原因，并给出了建议，以提高人们保护听力的意识。故d项适合作本文标题。.七选五体裁：说明文题材：环境保护主题：更节能的听音乐方式【语篇解读】当今的数字技术给我们带来了完美无瑕的音乐品质。它还使复制、上传和用串流收听音乐变得更容易，而且不需要下载。但这种音乐的消费方式耗能更多。因此，研究人员希望能找到更加可持续的方式来节约能源。1d根据空前的“it also makes it easier to copy, upload and stream music without having to download it”可知，它还使复制、上传和用串流收听音乐变得更容易，且不需要下载。故d项“因此，流媒体音乐变得流行起来”符合语境。2a根据空后的“logic would suggest that music downloads and online streaming are good for the environment”可知，从逻辑上讲，音乐下载和在线流媒体对环境是有好处的。由此可推知空处应是说明数字音乐在环境方面的优点，所以选a项。3c由前一句“in fact, the information is searched and sent to our electronic devices across the network，which costs energy”可知，实际上，信息是通过网络搜索并发送到我们的电子设备上的，这需要消耗能源，故c项符合语境，衔接上文。4b根据空处前后的“2.5 million streams”“210,000 albums worth of music”可知，如果一般的专辑包含12首歌曲，那就意味着差不多210 000张专辑对应平台上的2
