Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
It all starts with a tree, with several trees, in fact. Since the first modern guitars were made in northern Spain over 150 years ago, craftspeople have known that a guitar is only as good as the wood of which it is made.
Every guitar is made of several different kinds of wood.Each piece is carefully chosen and then cut to fit the part of the guitar for which it is designed.The most important part of any guitar is the soundboard (共鸣板)—the piece of wood with the large hole that lies underneath the strings. Guitar－makers are careful to make the soundboard just the right shape and thickness. Then they glue strips of wood across the inside in a special pattern. This bracing (支柱)helps strengthen the soundboard. It also improves the tone of the guitar.
Wood for the curvy (弯曲的) sides of the guitar must be soaked in water and bent over a hot iron pipe. When all the
pieces of the guitar are ready, they are carefully glued together.
Special woodworking tools are used to shape and smooth the neck of the guitar. Craftspeople must make sure the neck is perfectly centered over the soundboard.
Finally it is time to apply varnish or lacquer (漆). This brings out the beauty of the wood and protects it from moisture (潮气)and wear and tear (裂缝). Varnish also improves the sound of the guitar—but too much makes the guitar sound flat and dull!
Guitar strings are attached and tightened to make just the right musical tones. And_now—it's_time_for_a_song!
36．In order to make the soundboard strong, ________.
A．people tie strings on the top of it
B．strips of wood are glued across the inside
C．a large hole is made in it
D．several pieces of wood are glued together
【答案与解析】 B 推断题。可根据“glue strips of wood across the inside”和“This bracing helps strengthen the soundboard”判断。37．________ if too much varnish is applied to the wood.
A．The beauty of the wood can be seen clearly
B．The sound of the guitar will be less beautiful
C．The tone of the guitar will be improved
D．A guitar will never tear【答案与解析】 B 细节题。从倒数第2段看，太多的漆可使吉他的声音平淡、枯燥。
38．By saying “And now—it's time for a song！”， the author really means ________.
A．it is time for people to sing songs
B．a guitar is a good musical tool for a party
C．a guitar has been finished
D．a concert is about to begin
【答案与解析】 C 推断题。根据最后一句看，把吉他弦上好并绷紧后，一个吉他也就做完了。39．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The soundboard made of one piece of wood is better.
B．The shape of the soundboard is not very important.
C．The thickness of the soundboard affects the tone of the guitar.
D．The strings must be tied properly under the soundboard.
【答案与解析】 C 细节题。根据“make the soundboard just the right shape and thickness”判断，共鸣板的厚度影响吉他的音调，所以C项正确。
B
Becoming aware of the warning signs of learning disabilities and giving children the necessary help early can be key to a child's future.
Learning disabilities affect one in seven people according to the National Institutes of Health. Parents, therefore, need to be familiar with the early indicators of a learning disability in order to offer the right help as soon as possible.
The earlier a learning disability is detected, the better chance a child will have of succeeding in school and in life. Parents are encouraged to understand the warning signs of a learning disability from as early as pre－school. The first years in school are especially crucial for a young child.
