44、en in any century.【答案】21. until/before 22. to become 23. with 24. controlled 25. which 26. are spared 27. them 28. facing 29. how 30. that【解析】本文主要考查学生在实际语境中英语的运用。在做这种题目时要注意其所在的语境，考虑其正确的语法形式，同时还要注意其固定搭配，固定句式，以及所填词在句中所作的成分，才能最终确定其要运用的正确的形式。21. until/before考查连词。句意：画家把自己的画挂在墙上，每个人都能看见。作曲家写作品，但直到它被演奏出来才能
45、被人听到。直到.才，可译为“not(no)until，故可用 untill，before，直到。因此本空可填 until/before。22. to become考查固定搭配。句意：一个学音乐的学生要想成为一名演奏者，需要经过长期而艰苦的训练，正如学医的学生要成为一名医生（也需要经过长期而艰苦的训练）一样。need to do sth，为固定用法， “要做某事，需要做某事” 。因此要填 to become.23. with 考查固定搭配。句意：绝大多数的训练都是技术性的，因为音乐家们和运动员或芭蕾舞演员一样都是动作的熟练。 be concerned with,为固定搭配， “与.有关” 。因此
46、此空要填 with。24. controlled 考查过去分词作定语。句意：歌手每天练习呼吸，因为他们的声带没有受控制肌肉的支持将不会有底气。分析句子可知 without 是介词，后面的宾语 muscular support与 control 是被动关系，是肌肉被控制，因此要用其被动 controlled25. which .26. are spared考查谓语动词的时态和语态。句意：歌手和乐器演奏者必须能把每一个音符完美地结合在一起。钢琴家们不用担心这种焦虑，因为音符已经在那里了，调音师的职责就是调音。spare 使某人免遭（麻烦等） ，根据内容可知 spare的宾语是 pianists，是
47、让钢琴家不免除这种焦虑。所以 pianists和 spare是被动关系，本文主要讲述的一种事实，故要用一般现在时，故要用 are spared.27. them考查代词。句意：钢琴调音师有责任为乐器调音。分析句子可知，for 的宾语是乐器，是复数，因此要用代词 them。28. facing考查非谓语作定语。句意：学指挥的学生所面临的问题是他们必须学会了解音乐的每一个音符和以及如何发声。分析句意可知，本句的主语是 the problem，而这是学指挥的学生面对的问题，因此 face与problem的关系是主动的，因此是用 facing。29. how 考查副词表方式。根据第 8小题的句意可知，
48、本空缺少一个副词表方式的，故要用 how。30. that考查固定句式。句意：伟大的艺术家是那些完全熟悉音乐语言的人，以致于他们可以欣赏任何世纪所写的作品。Sothat，为固定搭配， “如此.以致于” ，因此根据句意可知，要填 that。Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.
