(2018·郑州一中高三入学测试)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.

(2018·贵州普通高等学校适应性考试)Many arguments teenagers have with their parents are about one thing: independence. As you get older, you’ll want to do more stuff on your own, without your mom and dad tagging along with you. The arguments generally start when your parents think you aren’t ready for extra responsibility while you think you are. Arguing with your parents isn’t the best solution at all, but the best solution is gaining trust from your parents. 1.________
·Understand that it’s not your parents who do not want you to have independence. They want the best for you and think you’re not ready or you’ll hurt yourself if you have the freedom to do whatever you want. Show your parents you can be sensible. 2.________ If you can’t get home by 9：30, they’ll never let you out after 10：00.
·Agree with them some “friends time” and some “family time” so that they know you won’t be spending your whole weekend out with your friends. 3.________ They won’t imagine you getting into trouble if they know how they are.
·4.________ They won’t feel much worried letting you go off on your own if they know what you’re up to. Call in and tell your parents that you’re OK from time to time. The less they worry about you, the more independence you’ll gain.

【解题导语】 本文论述了解决青少年想要独立而经常和父母发生矛盾这一问题的四个方法。
1．E 解析：根据该空位置可知，该空承上启下，既总结第一段大意，又引出下文；而第一段主要陈述“青少年想要独立，但经常和父母发生矛盾，解决这一问题的关键是取得父母的信任”，再结合下文的整体内容可知，E项符合文意。
2．G 解析：根据空处后一句“If you can’t get home by 9：30, they’ll never let you out after 10：00.”可知，如果你无法在9：30之前回家，他们将不会让你在10：00之后外出；据此可知，空处陈述“和父母商定一个你到家的时间，一直保证按时到家”，故G项正确。
3．F 解析：根据空处前一句中的“Agree with them some‘friends time’”可知，空处讲述在享受和朋友在一起的美好时光之前，你可以向父母介绍朋友以免父母担心，故F项正确。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了要注意听音乐的方式，戴耳机听音乐时开很大的音量可能会对听力造成损害。
1．absorbed 解析：考查形容词。be absorbed in...意为“被……吸引住”，符合语境，故填absorbed。
2．specifically 解析：考查副词。分析句子结构可知，此处是用副词修饰整个句子。
3．were invented 解析：考查动词时态和语态。分析句意可知，headphones与invent之间是被动关系，因此需用被动语态；且此处表示过去发生的动作，故用一般过去时。
4．worse 解析：考查形容词比较级。根据空后的“than older headphones”可以判断，此处要用形容词的比较级。故填worse。
5．who/that 解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处为定语从句的关系词，在从句中作主语，且先行词为people，故用who/that。

7．depends 解析：考查主谓一致。此处叙述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，且此处主语为it，故填depends。
8．truth 解析：考查名词。空前的scary是形容词，并修饰空处，故填truth。
9．if/when 解析：考查连词。根据句意可知，空处引导状语从句，既可表条件也可表时间，故用if/when。
10．listening 解析：考查固定搭配。spend time doing sth.表示“花时间做某事”，故用listening。

(2018·长沙高中毕业生五月供题)It snowed last night, when was quite rare here in Western Washington State. School canceled for the day and the neighborhood kids were so exciting! A couple of my young neighbors knocked polite on my door and asked if they could all play in their courtyard. I was happy to having them and soon they were making snowmen and having snowball fights. I invite them in to have hot cocoa and homemade cookie. The snow didn’t last long—it started raining in this afternoon—so I enjoyed seeing the kids have so much fun while it was here!
