Question

Wanting: I want nothing but music

Wanting Qu,born and raised in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China, has become one of the most popular singers in China this year. During the past few months, her name and songs have spread quickly on the Internet, over the radio, and in almost every corner of China. You would be considered totally “out” if you have never heard of her song “Stay in My Song”.

She is a girl full of courage. At only 16, Wanting left home and entered a Canadian school to study business, starting her life in a foreign country alone. Soon，she found that her true passion was music. She went on to get her degree(学位), but also tried her hand at songwriting. She did part-time jobs to keep on her study like many Chinese students who study in foreign countries, but never gave up her dream of being a musician. When the chance came, she bravely introduced herself to the CEO of Nettwerk and became the first Chinese singer-songwriter the company signed in 26 years.

Wanting’s music career started to take off in 2009 when she worked in Nettwerk. In 2011, after hearing the songs she wrote and recorded, the famous Chinese composer Zhang Yadong called her and would like to work with her.

With all the successes she has achieved in China, Wanting is recording her first English album. She is ready to conquer the world.

1.1】细节理解题。题目是问我们从文中了解到什么，而由因此A 说曲婉婷不适应国内的学校生活，文中未涉及，我们不得而知，所以A 错误；而由Soon，she found that her true passion was music.知B 错误；而由At only 16, Wanting left home and entered a Canadian school to study business, starting her life in a foreign country alone.只知道曲婉婷独自离家海外求学。并不是父母带出去的，所以C 错误。

2.2】词义猜测题。从上下文可知曲婉婷的事业开始腾飞始于2009年。

3.3】由 With all the successes she has achieved in China, Wanting is recording her first English album. She is ready to conquer the world.。可知。句意：在中国取得成功之后，曲婉婷正在录制她的第一张英文专辑。她已准备好征服世界。
