　　Probably no other musical instrument is as popular around the world as the guitar. Musicians use the guitar for almost every kind of music. Country and western music would not be the same without a guitar. The traditional Spanish folk music called Flamenco could not exist without a guitar. The sound of American blues music would not be the same without the sad cry of the guitar. And rock and roll music would almost be impossible without this instrument.

　　Music experts do not agree about where the guitar first was played. Most agree it is

　　ancient. Some experts say an instrument very much like a guitar was played in Egypt more than 1,000 years ago.

　　Some other experts say that the ancestor of the modern guitar was brought to Spain from Persia sometime in the

　　twelfth century. The guitar continued to develop in Spain. In the 1700s it became similar to the instrument we

　　know today.

　　Many famous musicians played the instrument. The famous Italian violinist Niccolo Paganinni played and

　　wrote music for the guitar in the early 1800s. Franz Schubert used the guitar to write some of his famous works.

　　In modern times Spanish guitarist Andres Segovia helped make the instrument extremely popular.

　　In the 1930s, Les Paul began experimenting with ways to make an electric guitar. He invented the solid body

　　electric guitar in 1946. The Gibson Guitar Company began producing its famous Les Paul Guitar in 1952. It became

　　a powerful influence in popular music. The instrument has the same shape and the same six strings as the traditional guitar, but it sounds very different. Les Paul produced a series of extremely popular recordings that introduced the public to his music. They included Paul playing as many as six musical parts at the same time. Listen to

　　this Les Paul recording. It was the fifth most popular song in the United States in 1952. It is called “Meet Mister

　　Callaghan”．

　　1. The passage is organized in the pattern of________.

　　A. time and events

　　B. comparison and contrast

　　C. cause and effect

　　D. definition and classification

　　2. What can we infer from the first paragraph?

　　A. Music would not be the same without the guitar.

　　B. The choice of musical instrument is important for a band.

　　C. Guitar was the most popular musical instrument in the past.

　　D. Every musician likes playing music with the guitar.

　　3. The passage introduces ________.

　　A. the method of playing the guitar

　　B. the exact time of the guitar's origin

　　C. the way that the guitar is made

　　D. some musicians who play the guitar

　　4. Where could we find the passage?

　　A. In a newspaper.

　　B. On the air.

　　C. In a magazine.

　　D. In a history book.

　　[文章大意]　本文主要介紹了吉他在音樂(lè)中的重要性、發(fā)展史以及與其相關(guān)的音樂(lè)家。

　　1. A。推理判斷題。綜觀全文可知本文主要按時(shí)間和事件的順序來(lái)組織文章的。

　　2. A。推理判斷題。由第一段“Country and western music would not be the same without a guitar. The traditional Spanish folk music called Flamenco could not exist without a guitar. The sound of American blues music would not be the same without the sad cry of the guitar. And rock and roll music would almost be impossible without this instrument.”可推斷出沒(méi)有吉他音樂(lè)也不一樣了，故選A項(xiàng)。

　　3. D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本文在第三段介紹了一些與吉他有關(guān)的音樂(lè)家，故選D項(xiàng)。A、C兩項(xiàng)在文中沒(méi)提到，B項(xiàng)文中有提及，但沒(méi)說(shuō)具體的時(shí)間，故不能選。

　　4. B。推理判斷題。由最后一段倒數(shù)第三句“Listen to this Les Paul recording.”可知這篇文章有音樂(lè)播放，故很有可能來(lái)自廣播。

　　Thousands of teenagers get their GCSE results today－and the big challenge of finding a job or apprenticeship(學(xué)徒身份)

　　begins. Jonathan Kelsall

　　knows how he got his results last summer. “I was really pleased with my results and had already decided what I wanted to do after school－h(huán)orticulture(園藝學(xué))，”

　　says Jonathan, 17, from Garstang, Lancs.

　　Physical outdoor work was the career he had in mind after growing up. “I chose horticulture and loved it. Every Wednesday I spent the day on a farm, working and learning，” says Jonathan. To get the certificate, Jonathan had to get work experience and contacted local companies begging for a chance.

　　“David Nichols, the owner of the Country Gardener, took me on and that convinced me this was what I wanted to do with my career，” says Jonathan. Last year，Jonathan contacted David again to see if there was any work－and David offered to take him on as a horticultural apprentice.

　　The National Apprenticeship Service has up to 17,000 apprenticeship vacancies available online www. apprenticeships. org. uk. Its executive director David Way says, “GCSE results day can be a really stressful time. The

　　good news is that with ever more apprenticeships there is an increasing range of high-quality options for young people. Apprentices have the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications and paid employment.”

　　Jonathan says, “I love the work. We do everything from maintenance to landscaping.” Jonathan doesn't even mind the winter. “I'd much rather be outdoors than stuck in an office. That would drive me crazy.” And he has got fitter over the past year. “You need to be fit, especially when working with stone or flagstones. That side has definitely made me stronger. And the good news is that with my qualification certificate I can work anywhere.”

　　A college assessor visits every three or four weeks to see how things are going and to go through written work or assignments. “They read through my books where I keep notes and answer any questions. It's nothing at all like school. Everything you're taught is relevant to all the things you're doing.”

　　5. Why did Jonathan choose to be an apprentice?

　　A. To please his parents with hard work.

　　B. To make some pocket money after school.

　　C. To achieve his GCSE result in a different way.

　　D. To get a chance to work in an office of a company.

　　6. To gain a certificate of horticulture，Jonathan should ________.

　　A. look for some gardens and complete some physical work

　　B. get work experience and finish required assignments

　　C. make it a forever career and never have it changed

　　D. love the subject and have it in mind all the time

　　7. Who is David Nichols according to the passage?

　　A. Jonathan's professor and employee.

　　B. Jonathan's school teacher and boss.

　　C. Jonathan's trainer and best friend.

　　D. Jonathan's employer and director.

　　8. What is the advantage of having an apprenticeship?

　　A. It offers teenagers both qualification and jobs.

　　B. It offers parents a right to give children a job.

　　C. It offers apprentice a place to make money.

　　D. It offers employers free employees.

Once one of my classmates laughed at me, “Why are you so fat？” We all stopped to stare at him, wondered how Mike would answer the question.
