11、对于amusic的定义。作者由“For some people，music is no fun at all.”一句，引出对有音乐听觉障碍人群(amusic)的介绍，即表明amusic不能享受音乐带来的乐趣。far from远非；远离，far from enjoyable即一点都感受不到乐趣。因此，正确答案为A。2. C语意理解题。由“defective hearing”定位至第三段，它的含义需要分析上下文句意。该句子说明了音乐听觉障碍产生的原因是大脑的差异。该词组所在的部分与前句“The difference is complex”并列，“it”指前文的“difference”，强调大脑差异
12、的复杂程度。紧接着后半句又提到音乐听觉障碍人士同样能听到非音乐类的声音。整体而言，即意为大脑的差异很复杂，并且这种复杂并不属于一种“defective hearing”，因为音乐听觉障碍人士同样能理解非音乐类的声音。将各选项的含义带入原文，可知正确答案为A“听觉问题”，即amusics并没有听觉问题，他们也能理解音乐以外的声音。3. A细节信息题。由题干信息定位至最后一段最后一句话。由“I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”可知Margaret希望在17岁就能得知自己属于amusi
13、c，而不是70岁。即她希望自己的问题更早得被诊断出来，正确答案为A。4. B主旨大意题。本题考查考生对整篇文章主旨大意的理解与概括。文章首段引出了音乐听觉障碍人士(amusic)的定义。第二段详细介绍了音乐听觉障碍对amusic的生活造成的诸多不便。紧接着第三段揭示了amusic的产生原因大脑差异。最后一段介绍音乐听觉障碍这一症状的诊断能带来的益处。由此可见，本文主要讨论了一些人无法享受音乐的乐趣，选项B正确。W重点单词1. population n. 人口 2. recognize v. 认出，识别 3. identify v. 鉴定，识别 4. isolation n. 隔离，孤立 5.
14、appreciate v. 欣赏，感激 P重点短语1. at all 全然，根本 2. as a result 结果 3. compare.to.把比作 4. in fact 事实上，实际上 5. result in 导致，引起 6. be different from与不同S长难句译文：这就是音乐障碍人士故意远离音乐场所的原因。剖析：本句为主从复合句，why引导表语从句，where引导定语从句，修饰places。B2014湖北省黄冈市高三测试Its time to remindW1 myself what I love about life here in California, USA,
