45、s. They even sound 1 violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make 2 like the old Italian violins. 3 they arent the same, Musicians prefer the old ones. No one really knows 4 these old Italian violins are so special, 5 many people think they have an answer. Some people think it is the

46、 age of the violins. But not all old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are 6 . Other people think that the 7 to those violins is the wood. The wood of the violin is very important. It must be from certain kinds of trees. It 8 too young or too old. Perhaps the violin makers o

47、f Cremona knew 9 special about wood for violins. But the kind of wood may not be 10 important. 11 may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It was to be the right size and 12 The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musi

48、cians 13 think that this was the secret of the Italians. 14 they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood. Size and shape may not be the answer 15 .Scientists measured these old violins very carefully. They can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the violins do no

49、t sound 16 the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish. Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood 17 shiny. No one knows 18 the Italian violin makers used in their varnish. So no one can make the same varnish today. There may never be other violins 19 the

50、 violins of Cremona. And there are not very many of the old violins 20 . 1.A.better thanB.worse. thanC.more thanD.rather than答案:A要解答此题需要联系上一句These violins sound better than anyothers(这些小提琴听起来音质要比别的小提琴好。)而这一句还是继续强调其好“甚至好于今天的提琴”，联系上下文可以排除B、C、D。2.A.equipmentB.devicesC.instrumentsD.facilities答案:Cinstrum

51、ent一般常用来指“用于科学或艺术领域的人造器具。”equipment尤其“具有实用价值属性的设备、装置”。device是一个普通用词，指“为特殊目的而造的设备及器械”。facilities是指“设施、场地”等。3.A.YetB.HenceC.ThusD.Besides答案:A通过上下文可以发现，此处应该选一个表示转折关系的连词。“提琴制作者及科学家试着制作一些像古意大利的提琴一样的小提琴，但是这些提琴还是不如古琴一样好，音乐家更喜欢古琴。”hence表示“因此”。thus表示“如此”。besides表示“除之外”。只有yet表示转折。4.A.whyB.howC.whereD.in that答

52、案:A此句是说“没有人可以确切地知道为什么古意大利的提琴如此地特殊”，只有why在此合适。how、where及in that在语法及意义上都是错误的。5.A.soB.whateverC.whereasD.however答案:C联系上文“No one really knows”，“many people think they have an answer”及下段“Some people think”和再下一段“Other people think that”可以发现此处缺一个转折关系的连词。so是表示因果关系的连词；whatever是“无论如何”，主要做连词或者副词；however是一个副词。这

53、样我们可以选出whereas，意为“然而”。6.A.strangeB.peculiarC.specialD.odd答案:C联系上段最后一句“No one really knows why these old Italian violins are so special”可以找出答案。strange与文意相反。peculiar表示“特有的”，一般应该与to连用。odd表示“奇怪的”。7.A.mysteryB.successC.characteristicD.secret答案:Dsecret此处表示“奥秘”，文中的意思为“另一些人认为古琴音质好的奥秘在于制作它们的木头”。mystery表示“神秘”

54、，而characteristic表示“与众不同的特征”。success表示“成功”，一般不能与to连用。8.A.can beB.may beC.must not beD.may not be答案:C联系前文The wood of the violins is very important”可以发现此处应该为否定的，所以排除A、B。must not be表示“不可以”，具有强制性，规定性。may not be表示“可能不”，与题意不符。9.A.somethingB.anythingC.nothingD.some thing答案:Aanything太绝对，nothing与该段的论述相反：若他们不了

55、解的话，他们就不会做出如此好的提琴了。some thing表示“某件事”，是无关的干扰项。some thing与前面perhaps相呼应表示“Cremona的提琴制作者应该对制作提琴的木头有一些特殊了解”。10.A.tooB.soC.veryD.much答案:Btoo一般不用于否定句中，much一般不用来直接修饰形容词。very是一个迷惑项。此处80是承前的，整句意为“但是木头可能不像前面所说的那么重要”。very没有此项意义。11.A.HereB.TheyC.ItD.That答案:C从这整个句子来看，此处缺一个形式主语来代替真正的主语to cut the wood in a special way。Here与They及T
