【英语】2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题应用文类型模拟试题10篇训练之一(20页word版)
2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题应用文类型模拟试题10篇训练之一 [一] In no particular order, here are some songs on the Music app of my phone: On a Sunday Afternoon by Lighter Shade of Brown — A student of mine introduced this rap song to me all the way back in the early 1990s, when I was teaching Spanish at a local university. The story in the song takes place not too far from where I live in Los Angeles. It’s a good “driving” song, nothing complicated or “deep”. Say Something by A Great Big World — A more recent song about a couple losing contact with each other. The piano part is of very little playing but beautiful. American Pie by Don McLean — Another song from my youth in the 1980s, very popular with almost every American of my generation. It retells some of the key events of the middle 20th century, a song of happy memories of the past and wanting to return to those better times. The Weight by The Band — Another old song, originally made public in 1968, but one I didn’t hear until I was in high school more than 10 years later. I don’t understand the words to the song completely, but the feeling of the song is very comforting to me. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers — This Los Angeles group wrote a song that I used to listen to when I first moved to LA more than 25 years ago. I didn’t know anyone here when I first arrived. When I got bored, I used to drive up and down the major streets that cross the city from east to west, listening to this song about “the city of angels” being as “lonely as I am”. (Don’t worry! I have plenty of friends now.) 语篇解读:本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了在作者的手机音乐播放器中保存的几首歌曲的相关信息。 21.What does the underlined word “deep” probably mean? A.With skill. B.With comfort. C.With a normal meaning.
