Bob Dylan,born on May 24,1941,is an American songwriter,singer,artist and writer.He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades.Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s,when his songs showed social unrest.Early songs such as Blowing in the Wind and The Times They Are a-Changing promoted the American civil rights and anti-war movements.

As a musician,Dylan has sold more than 100 million records,making him one of the best-selling artists of all time.He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards,a Golden Globe Award,and an Academy Award.The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation (引言)for his influence on popular music and American culture,marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.In May 2012,Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama.In 2016,Dylan received the Nobel Prize in Literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”.

B

One of America’s best-known artist colonies,the MacDowell Colony,will turn 110 next year.It is a place where artists of all types can sweep away distractions and just create.

MacDowell’s operations are funded by foundations,corporations and individuals.

Writers,composers,photographers,filmmakers and sculptors—both famous and unknown—compete for the 32 free studios at the place.Once accepted,an artist can stay for as little as a couple of weeks,or as long as a couple of months.

When they arrive,artists find a kind of isolation(隔绝) hard to find in our world.There’s no phone.No fax.No friends.No family.It’s just a cabin in the snowy woods.

Writer Emily Raboteau lives in New York City.She came to MacDowell to work on a novel.She received a desk,chairs,pencil and paper—and ice grippers.The walk from one isolated,one-room studio to another is icy,so colony residents(居住的人) fasten the ice grippers to the bottom of their shoes.

Another colony resident,Belfast composer Elaine Agnew,plays a piece called “To a Wild Rose,”written by Edward MacDowell.She says it’s so famous that every pianist in the world has played the tune.A hundred years ago,MacDowell owned the land where the colony now sits.He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there.

After his death,his wife,Marion,encouraged other artists to come.

And for the last century,artists have accepted the invitation,coming to step outside of their daily lives for a short time.Privacy is respected,but cooperation and discussion is common.

Screenwriter Kit Carson—who wrote Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and the film adaptation of Sam Shepherd’s play Paris,Texas—has visited MacDowell twice.He says that the interdisciplinary(学科间的) discussion there is valuable.

“You sit around at dinner,talking,and then somebody runs off and brings you back some stuff and shows it to you,”he says.“That,I didn’t realize,was part of the magic here,because people are really open to showing their opinions here.”

4.What do the colony residents have in common?

A.They find it hard to survive the loneliness.

B.They usually stay in the colony for months.

C.They are already famous in their own field.

D.They are nearly cut off from the outside world.

5.Why does the author mention Elaine Agnew?

A.To show the wide range of the residents.

B.To introduce the origin of the colony.

C.To admire her great musical talent.

D.To show respect for MacDowell.

6.Where does the magic of the MacDowell Colony lie according to Kit Carson?

A.It has a homely feel. B.It values work-play balance.

C.It encourages privacy greatly. D.It has an idea-sharing atmosphere.

7.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Wonderland for artists B.Creativity at work

C.Happy birthday! D.Power of silence

语篇解读:本文是说明文。美国的麦克道威尔文艺营是艺术家可以居住和创作的艺术中心,历史已经接近110年了。

答案及剖析:

4.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的sweep away distractions和第三段When they arrive,

artists find a kind of isolation hard to find in our world.There’s no phone.No fax.No friends.No family.It’s just a cabin in the snowy woods可知,艺术家们在麦克道威尔文艺营基本与世隔绝,这样他们才能更好地安心创作。

5.B　推理判断题。文章在第五段提到作曲家Elaine Agnew,由她演奏麦克道威尔的名曲《致野玫瑰》进而谈起麦克道威尔文艺营的前世今生。

6.D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的the interdisciplinary discussion there is valuable和最后一段中的part of the magic here,because people are really open to showing their opinions here可知,Kit Carson发现人们在这里可以畅所欲言,发表自己的观点,这是该文艺营的魔力所在。

7.A　主旨大意题。文章介绍了麦克道威尔文艺营。很多艺术家竞相来到这里,创作的灵感在寂寥无人处迸发。文中引用了几位艺术家的实例来突出表现该文艺营的独特之处。故A项作标题形象、贴切、概括力强。

Ⅱ.语法填空

答案及剖析:

1.their　考查代词。修饰lives and problems用形容词性物主代词their。

2.actually　考查副词。作句子的状语用副词形式。

3.called　考查非谓语动词。a new school program后为定语,与动词call之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。

4.which　考查关系代词。非限制性定语从句中缺少主语,故用which,代替主句含义。

5.on　考查介词。名词effects与介词on搭配,表示“对……影响”。

6.to come　考查非谓语动词。the first person后接不定式作定语。

7.or　考查连词。表示“或者说”,用连词or。

8.words　考查名词。words指“歌词”。

9.produces　考查主谓一致。主语是a song writer,且前面有today,故谓语动词用单数

形式。

10.being used　考查时态和语态。They指的是hip hop songs,与动词use之间为被动关系;再根据时间状语now可推断用现在进行时态的被动形式。

Ⅲ.短文改错(2018福建厦门外国语学校适应性考试)

Dear Jim,

　　I am glad to tell you something about the interesting Chinese naming practice.

Like the tradition in America,the family name in China is put first,be followed by the given name.Chinese people often named a baby with their best wish for good health and happiness.Some even go crazily about the names indicating the weather or a natural phenomenon at time of the baby’s birth.In terms of choosing the characters,parents need to consider what they sound when combined them into a name.As for your Chinese name,how about “Ji Xiang”?The first character has a similar pronunciation with your name Jim,and all of the characters mean “good luck”.I hope you’ll love this Chinese name.

Yours,

Li Hua

答案:

Dear Jim,

　　I am glad to tell you something about the interesting Chinese naming practice.

　 the tradition in America,the family name in China is put first, followed by the given name.Chinese people often a baby with their best for good health and happiness.Some even go about the names indicating the weather or a natural phenomenon at time of the baby’s birth.In terms of choosing the characters,parents need to consider they sound when them into a name.As for your Chinese name,how about “Ji Xiang”?The first character has a similar pronunciation your name Jim,and of the characters mean “good luck”.I hope you’ll love this Chinese name.

Yours,

Li Hua

剖析:中国的名字表达与美国是不同的,故Like应改为Unlike。

the family name与follow之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作定语。

讲述中国名字结构,用一般现在时态,故named应改为name。

用复数名词wishes表示祝愿。

go crazy意为“变疯狂”,go为系动词,跟形容词作表语。

名词time后有限定性定语,故之前加定冠词the。

consider后的宾语从句中sound意为“听起来”,为不及物动词,故what改为how。

when后省略了they are。

与similar搭配的介词是to。

指Ji Xiang两个汉字,故all改为both。
