meter

wide,is

known

as

the‘cat

locals,meaning

that

it

is

so

dangerous

that

only

he

slipped

a

does

the

underlined

word

“supercilious”

in

paragraph

4

probably

mean?A.Self-important.

B.Open-minded.C.Impatient. D.Considerate.答案

A解析

词句猜测题。根据上文“ridiculous

and”可知,supercilious和ridiculous并列,为贬义词,以及下文“At

first

sight,his

idea

seems

stuffy

and

extreme.By

suggesting

that

classical

music

should

be‘treated

with

respect’and

not

used

as

background

music,Pullman

seems

to

be

closing

classical

music

to

millions

of

people.”可知,Pullman认为需要尊重古典音乐,所以推知Pullman认为将古典音乐作为背景音乐是荒谬和傲慢的,supercilious为“傲慢”之意,和A项“妄自尊大的”意思相近。7.Why

is

the

Benjamin

Britten’s

1964

speech

mentioned?A.To

show

his

affection

for

classical

music.B.To

introduce

young

people

to

classical

music.C.To

demonstrate

classical

music

is

demanding.D.To

support

Pullman’s

idea

over

classical

music.答案

D解析

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,作者提到了本杰明·布里顿1964年的演讲,是为了支持Pullman对古典音乐的看法。8.Which

word

best

describes

the

author’s

attitude

to

Pullman’s

idea?A.Favorable.

B.Doubtful.C.Objective.

D.Uninterested.答案

C解析

推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者既不同意Pullman极端的观点,但是也不认为将古典音乐作为背景音乐是合适的,因为你将永远无法完全领略古典音乐的美,所以他的态度是客观的。Passage
