61. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章最后一段提到了杰西.麥卡尼的學(xué)校教育和家庭;第二段主要講述了他在音樂方面的成就。文中只提到他在國內(nèi)的巡回演出(a national tour; toured around the USA),沒有提到在國外的巡回演出。故答案為D。
62. 事實(shí)排序題。從文中可以找出相應(yīng)的時(shí)間。① 2003年②2004年③1994年.由第一段At the age of seven, he began a national tour the stage musical show of The King and I. 再由最后一段Born April 9, 1987…可知他7歲時(shí)也就是1994年④2004年6月. 由第二段中…and in 2003 McCartney…The song Beautiful Soul became the title track for McCartney's solo album…it took McCartney one and a half year to make his new one, Right here You Want Me..可知《真情守候》發(fā)行的時(shí)間大約為 2004年6月 ⑤1998年。由以上所述可知答案為A。
63. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段第一句中in off-Broadway stage shows including Oliver, A Christmas Carol, and Annie Get Your Gun.可知是舞臺(tái)表演。不是演的電影或電視。故B項(xiàng)為正確答案。All My Children為電視節(jié)目;C 、D項(xiàng)為電影。
64. 詞義猜測題。由上文Sales of the group's album(唱片) once reached up to 300,000 copies.可知的意思為 “很受歡迎”。 Platinum 本義為 “白金的”,用于唱盤或唱片時(shí)。指單張唱盤或唱片銷售量超過30萬張,也就是說這張唱盤或唱片很受歡迎,很暢銷。
65. 細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。由第二段The song Beautiful Soul became the title track for McCartney's first solo album. Following the great success of his album, it took McCartney one and a half year to make his new one, Right here You Want Me…可知《天使的心》是他的首張個(gè)人專輯,而不是《真情守候》。故B項(xiàng)表述有誤,符合題意。A、C、D三項(xiàng)文中均有表述。

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father,“But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead.”
Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt -- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One: It's best to be“thrown clear”of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (擋風(fēng)玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are “thrown clear”.
Myth Number Two: Safety-bets “trap”people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).
Truth : When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.
62. Why did Elizabeth say to her father,“But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead”?
A. He was driving at great speed. B. He was running across the street.
C. He didn't have his safety belt on. D. He didn't take his medicine on time.
63. The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he _______.
A. wasn't feeling very well B. hated to drive in the dark
C. wanted to take some exercise D. didn't want to be caught by the people
64. According to the text, to be “thrown clear" of a serious accident is very dangerous because you _______.
A. may be knocked down by other cars B. may get serious hurt thrown out of the car
C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat
D. may get caught in the car door
65. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe _______.
A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
C. they will be caught when help comes D. cars catch fire easily
66. What is the advice given in the test?
A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour. B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.
C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.
D. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.
