The Olympic Games*阅读理解Enjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days，musicians are performing in private homes，at haircutting shops，at airports.even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs，they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the OHair Salon，Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then，they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon，near the hairdryers and makeup tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon，” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last weeks performance.Frank said she and band members，Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.Concerts in peoples homes，or small businesses such as OHairs，are being more popular，musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere，”said Domenic Cicala，a musician who opened up his OHair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts，people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often，the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend，”said Matt Hart，with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers，a folkrock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts，the musicians do not need microphones.Yet，every word of their songs can be heard.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了现代音乐会在举办场地的选择上更加多样化，私人居所、理发店、机场等都成为音乐家表演的场所，并且备受青睐。1Why do musicians like house concerts?ABecause private homes are easier to get to.BBecause people pay more attention to their music.CBecause they can do other things while performing.DBecause they dont have to bring their microphones.B解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，音乐家喜欢家庭音乐会是因为听众会更专注于倾听音乐。故选B。2What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last weeks performance?AThe small performance space.BHer first show at a hair salon.CTheir interaction with the audience.DThe more relaxed atmosphere.C解析：细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，上周的表演给Sarah Frank留下最深刻印象的是与听众的互动，故选C。3How many music groups are mentioned in the text?AOne.BTwo.CThree.DFour.B解析：细节理解题。通读全文可知，本文提到了两个乐队，一个是the Bombadils，另一个是西雅图的民谣摇滚乐队the Local Strangers，故选B。4What may be the best title for the text?AMusicians Struggle to Make a LivingBPeople Really Get to Know the ArtistsCMusicians Find New Places to PerformDConcertgoers Wont Go to Music ClubsC解析：标题归纳题。根据文章第一段，并结合对文章的整体理解可推知，本文主要讲述了现代音乐会在举办场地的选择上更加多样化，音乐家发现了私人居所、发廊等新的场所来表演，故选C。*语法填空Do you make friends _1_(easy)?

Learning together with entertainment still take up most of our time. Besides, we often help our parents with the housework or farm work, that makes us realize how hard we work every day and develop a great love for work. Meanwhile, we take active part in social activities, such as voluntary work. We went out to the streets to collect rubbishes or to the hospitals to cheer up the sick children. We try our best to help those who are in need or make our hometown a lot of more beautiful. We find greatly pleasure in these activities.Yours，Li Ming答案：Dear Lisa，Im glad to receive your letter about the present holiday life of Chinese students.

We try our best to help those who are in need make our hometown a lot more beautiful. We find pleasure in these activities.Yours，Li Ming难项分析：第二处：taketakes此处together with后的名词不影响谓语动词的数，句子的主语是learning，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故改为takes。第七处：rubbishesrubbishrubbish表示“垃圾”，是不可数名词，没有复数形式，故改为rubbish。第九处：去掉of此处指使我们的家乡变得更加美丽。根据句中的“more”可知，此处修饰比较级，表示程度，故应用a lot。a lot of表示“许多”，修饰名词。
