【题目】

The Berklee College of Music is a famous music school in Boston US. It is a dream school for many musicians.

Chinese singer Wang Yuan will start studying there soon. The 18-year-old member of boy band TFBoys has been admitted to the college. Wang recently announced the news on a reality show.

Although Wang has already had many jobs in show business, such as acting and hosting, he said his favorite thing to do is play music. Wang not only sings, but also writes his own songs. He has helped to write 10 songs since he started to learn songwriting at 14.

Wang said he was quite determined when he decided to apply to the Berklee College of Music. He didn't apply to any other schools.

Instead of asking for help from college admissions agencies（机构）, Wang completed the application process on his own. He dealt with all the English-language paperwork by himself. Sometimes, he had to use translation software to translate the documents he needed to submit（提交）.

Wang is popular in China, but he is not well-known abroad. He had to interview and audition （试镜）just like the other students. Since he was busy with work, he was the last applicant from Beijing to finish the audition and interview process. "I was nervous, actually. If I failed, I wouldn't have any other choices," he said. During his audition, he was asked to sing without introducing himself.

Answer 1

【答案】

【2】D

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

很多学生都知道TF boys组合里的王源，他现在已经是非常著名的歌手了。王源不仅唱歌，他还自己写歌，他非常喜爱音乐，而且他经过努力被美国伯克利音乐学院录取。

【1】推理判断题。短文第一段介绍了著名的伯克利音乐学院，它是很多音乐家梦想中的学校。这一段的写作目的是引入文章的话题，为下文介绍王源被该校录取做铺垫，让读者对文章的话题产生兴趣。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文第二段中 “The 18-year-old member of boy band TFBoys has been admitted to the college.”可知，王源现在18岁了。再根据下一段 “since he started to learn songwriting at 14.”可知，他从14岁开始写歌，所以应该是在4年前。故选D。

【3】细节理解题。根据短文第四段 “He didn't apply to any other schools.”以及第六段"I was nervous, actually. If I failed, I wouldn't have any other choices," he said.可知，王源只申请了伯克利音乐学院这一个学校，如果他失败了，他就没有了其他的选择，所以试镜和面试时他非常的紧张。故选A。

【4】推理判断题。根据第三段 “Although Wang has already had many jobs in show business, such as acting and hosting, he said his favorite thing to do is play music.”可知，虽然王源在演艺界有很多的工作，但是他最喜欢的还是音乐。故选D。根据第一段 “It is a dream school for many musicians.”可知，伯克利音乐学院是很多音乐家的梦想，不仅仅只是对中国人，故A不对；根据短文最后 “He will study at the college of his dreams.”可知，王源将会去伯克利音乐学院学习，不是已经在那里学习了，故B不对；根据第五段 “Instead of asking for help from college admissions agencies（机构）, Wang completed the application process on his own.”可知，王源没有向大学招生机构求助，故C不对。

这篇短文给我们讲述的是TF boys成员王源经过努力被伯克利音乐学院录取。短文中涉及的人物和事件是学生们比较熟悉的，可以帮助学生们更好的理解短文。题型是阅读理解，考查了细节理解、推理判断两种题型。做题时，应先通读短文，了解文章大意；然后根据题目所问以及题型特点，使用一些阅读技巧，如略读、跳读、回读等，根据文章相关信息，结合选项，选择最佳答案。细节题通常比较简单，答案可以在文章中直接找到。如第2小题，这个题目应注意文章中给出的数字线索，在短文第二段和第三段可以找到答案。推理判断题难度稍大，学生们应根据文意做出合理的推测和判断。如第4小题，这是一个判断题，做题时，应将每个选项的内容都在文章中找出依据，用排除法作答。
