1 The Olympic Games 李仕才 ***阅读理解 Enjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days，musicians are performing in private homes，at haircutting shops， at airports...even on ferry boats. Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs，they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music. Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’Hair Salon， Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then，they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon，near the hairdryers and make­up tables. “This is our first show at a hair salon，” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week’s performance.Frank said she and band members，Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience. Concerts in people’s homes，or small businesses such as O’Hair’s，are becoming more popular，musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere，”said Domenic Cicala，a musician who opened up his O’Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.” At house concerts，people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often，the hosts or guests will provide food and drink. “People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend，”said Matt Hart，with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers，a folk­rock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts，the musicians do not need microphones.Yet，every word of their songs can be heard. 【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了现代音乐会在举办场地的选择上更加多样化，私人居所、 理发店、机场等都成为音乐家表演的场所，并且备受青睐。 1．Why do musicians like house concerts?

Learning together with entertainment still take up most of our time. Besides, we often help our parents with the housework or farm work, that makes us realize how hard we work every day and develop a great love for work. Meanwhile, we take active part in social activities, such as voluntary work. We went out to the streets to collect rubbishes or to the hospitals to cheer up the sick children. We try our best to help those who are in need or make our hometown a lot of more beautiful. We find greatly pleasure in these activities. Yours， Li Ming 答案： Dear Lisa， I'm glad to receive your letter asked ①asking about the present holiday life of Chinese students. Learning together with entertainment still take ②takes up most of our time. Besides, we often help our parents with the housework or farm work, that ③which makes us realize how hard we ④they work every day and develop a great love for work. Meanwhile, we take ∧ ⑤an active part in social activities, such as voluntary work. We went ⑥go out to the streets to collect rubbishes ⑦rubbish or to the hospitals to cheer up the sick children. We try our best to help those who are in need or ⑧and make our hometown a 8 lot ⑨ more beautiful. We find greatly ⑩great pleasure in these activities. Yours， Li Ming 难项分析： 第二处：take→takes　此处 together with 后的名词不影响谓语动词的数，句子的主 语是 learning，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故改为 takes。 第七处：rubbishes→rubbish　rubbish 表示“垃圾”，是不可数名词，没有复数形式， 故改为 rubbish。 第九处：去掉 of　此处指使我们的家乡变得更加美丽。根据句中的“more”可知，此 处修饰比较级，表示程度，故应用 a lot。a lot of 表示“许多”，修饰名词。
