【正文】 . “He’s always been an outsider. He never moved to London.” And while he never became part of the London music scene, Chapman was noticed by those musicians. “The 70s caught up with him in the 80s,” Male says. “He had a huge heart attack at the end of the 80s that nearly finished him off. When he made his way back into the world in the early 90s, people had fotten about him.” But not everyone. A younger generation of musicians in America, including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and a younger singer and guitarist named Steve Gunn, recently rediscovered Chapman. “We wanted to capture Michael’s voice and character where he is now. You know, it’s a little roadweary, but he still has it,” Gunn says. “For me, it was really important to get that right.” “He’s the right old musician for present times,” Male says. “I think the music he makes seems quite in tune with where we’re at.” 28. Which can best describe Michael Chapman’s first involvement in music? A. Untrue. B. Accidental. C. Unfortunate. D. Reasonable. 29. What can we learn about the British guitarist John Martyn from the text? A. He used to teach photography full time. B. He can not get along well with other musicians. C. He may be very familiar with American jazz and blues. D. He may be one of the best guitar players in the early 90s. 30. Why did Michael Chapman quit his music career once? A. He lost his special voice. B. He suffered from a severe heart attack. C. He got tired of peting with others. D. He was almost fotten by everyone. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise and Fall of Guitar Music B. The Sad Story of a Guitar Musician C. A New Generation Helps an Old Guitar Musician D. A Guitar Musician’s Back with the Help of a New Generation D If you’re DIYminded, you can build your own solar power system. In some cases, you can even build your own solar panels (太陽能電池板 ), although the amount that you can effectively DIY home solar depends on how much you want to power. Making your own solar panel is a timeconsuming process and requires some electrical skills. However, it can also be very rewarding—learning to build your own panel is a great way to understand how solar electricity is generated (產(chǎn)生 ). Before you can build your own solar panels, you first need to understand how solar cells generate electricity. Once you’ve bought individual solar cells (they can be purchased online), the basic process for building your own solar panel goes like this: Prepare the backing (底板 ) for your panel. Many DIY solar panel builders prefer to use a wooden board as the base for their solar cell. You’ll need to drill holes in the board so that the wires for each cell can pass through. Wire your solar cells together. This requires some experience with electrical work. Use a soldering iron (烙鐵 ) to attach wire to the solar cells and then link each of the cells together. Attach cells to your backing. If possible, attach each solar cell to the backing individually. This makes it easier to replace a single cell in the event that bees damaged or is not operating properly. At this point you have a functional solar panel that can produce electricity when the sun shines. However, a solar panel by itself is not useful. If you are trying to generate electricity to power devices in your home, you need to pair your panel with an inverter (換流器 ) that will turn direct current (DC) power from the sun into the alternating current (AC) power used in most modem electronic devices. 32. What does the author think of building DIY solar panel in the first paragraph? A. It is easy. B. It is necessary. C. It is mon. D. It is worthwhile. 33. What’s the first step of building your own solar panels? A. Master the advanced knowledge of management. B. Buy individual solar cells. C. Prepare the backing for your panel. D. Drill holes in the wooden board. 34. Why are solar cells connected to the wooden board separately? A. To produce more power. B. To substitute damaged cells easily. C. To attach cells to the backing tightly. D. To pass through the wooden board easily. 35. What can be inferred from the text? A. People with electrical skills have advantages over those without in DIY solar panels. B. A functional solar panel can give power to your home devices directly. C. How to pair an inverter depends on how much you want to power. D. A wooden board is a must for your own solar panels. 第二節(jié)（共 5 小題；每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。聽每段對話或獨白前，你將有時間閱讀各個 小題，每小題 5 秒鐘；聽完后，各小題將給出 5 秒鐘的作答時間。聽完每段對話后，你都有 10 秒鐘的時間來回答有關(guān)小題和閱讀下一小題。每段對話后有一個小題，從題中所給的 A、 B、 C三個選項中選出最佳選項，并標(biāo)在試卷的相應(yīng)位置。每段對話或獨白后有幾個小題，從題中所給的 A、 B、 C三個選項中選出最佳選項，并標(biāo)在試卷的相應(yīng)位置。 17.
