Answer 1

36．D　“wakes up to his favorite radio station”在這里意為“醒來就去聽他喜歡的電臺”，to表示一種方向或者結果。

37．A　從上下文知道，Steve起床后吃早飯。

38．C　從后文知道，Steve是學生，因此是去上學。

39．B　聯(lián)系空后老師非常生氣可以知道是在上課。

40．C　學生在數(shù)學課上聽音樂，老師當然生氣，故選C項。

41．A　一周不能聽音樂，對Steve來說，是可怕的。這里表示Steve對音樂的癡迷，一刻也不能離開音樂。

42．D　always和usually，frequently相比，更能表示母親對此行為的反對。

43．C　她無法理解“我”怎么能夠開著音樂來做作業(yè)，這是她老是朝“我”大喊的原因。

44．D　with music on表示“開著音樂”，作work的伴隨狀語，是獨立結構。

45．A　但是音樂能幫助“我”集中注意力。Steve在此強調(diào)音樂對精力集中所起的作用，是幫助而不是強迫或?qū)е隆拔摇奔�中精力�?/p>

46．B　聯(lián)系下文But I’m going to keep practising可知事實上，目前還彈奏得不好。

47．C　at the moment等于now，指“目前情況下”。

48．D　由首句的“says fifteen­year­old Steve”可知steve是少年。

49．B　從Steve的經(jīng)歷可以看出，音樂是他們生活重要的組成部分，而不僅僅是體現(xiàn)在學校或?qū)W習中。

50．D　根據(jù)題意，又快又響的音樂是充滿力量的，故選D。

51．A　根據(jù)常識可知，音樂讓人忘記不快的東西，故選A。

52．C　根據(jù)上下文，此處應是音樂給人帶來快樂，故選C。

53．D　這里應用but表示轉折：Steve對音樂如醉如癡，然而他的母親卻對此表示擔心。如用however，則應該用逗號隔開。

54．B　這里用do表示強調(diào)，相當于really。

55．C　drive sb.crazy習慣搭配，意思是“使人發(fā)瘋；使人狂熱”，符合題意。
