九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
I’ve been playing in rock bands since I was about 14 years old. It’s my favorite hobby in the world and I don, t think I’ll ever give it up. When I moved to China, I wasn’t sure what it would be like to play in a band here. Would it be hard to find people to play with? Or places to play at? As it turns out, Beijing is a great place to play music.
One of the main differences is that the music scene here is much smaller than those in most big Western cities. This might seem like a disadvantage, but I actually kind of (有点) like it. It means that most of the people involved, whether they are promoters (宣传人员) or musicians or Just music fans, know each other well. It’s like having a big family. I’ve met some amazing friends by playing music here.
Another big difference is that every practice studio and live-house in Beijing has the basic equipment (设备) for playing music. When I played drums in the US, I had to bring my whole drum kit everywhere we played. But here, I just bring my drumsticks and cymbals (钹). This makes it way more convenient to practice, record and play music.
And I’ve definitely had some unique experiences since I’ve been playing here. For one concert, we played on an outdoor stage next to a farm in the suburbs of Baoding in Hebei province. For another show, we played at a tiny bar inside of a huge shopping mall. These kinds of experiences are rare in the US. It’s definitely been a lot of fun to play music here.
1.In the first paragraph the writer wasn’t sure ________?
A.whether he would miss his friends
B.whether he would bring his whole drum kit
C.whether he could continue playing music
D.whether he could start a new hobby
2.From the second paragraph we know ________.
A.the music scene in Beijing is the same size as Western cities
B.people in the music scene come from a big family
C.the writer gets on well with people in Western cities
D.the writer makes some new friends by playing music
3.What does the underlined word “unique” mean in the last paragraph?
A.独特的 B.危险的 C.艰难的 D.可怕的
4.What do we know from the passage?
A.The writer has played rock music for 14 years.
B.Rock bands in Beijing are not very popular.
C.The writer enjoys playing music in China.
D.The writer once played on an outdoor stage on a farm.

Sarasota, Florida teen band The Garbage-Men is performing on the stage. The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men band’s instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.
The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar, after some trial-and-error(反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”
The Garbage-Men plays at local events around Sarasota, including festivals, farmer’s markets and community fundraisers. Typically, the teens will set up on the street and perform popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles tunes and crowd favorite “Wipe Out,” by The Surfaris. In between sets, they talk about recycling and offer tips for how to help the environment. While they perform, Jack’s little brother Trent, 11, gives out flyers(宣传单) about recycling and helps sell the band’s CDs and other musical products.
The band donates(捐赠) the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2,500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural(农业的) training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It’s a good, sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity,” Jack says, “By donating one animal, you help the whole community.”
The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week. They’ve also played on a Tampa, Florida radio station and auditioned(试演) for America’s Got Talent. The teens hope to eventually take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really accessible(可接近的),” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish, but their message isn’t.
1.Who is NOT a member of the Garbage-Men band?
A. Ollie Gray. B. Trent Berry.
C. Austin Siegel. D. Jack Berry.
2.The five teens formed the band in order to ________.
A. show how to make musical instruments from rubbish
B. earn more money to help support their own families
C. make their musical products known all around the world
D. ask more people to recycle daily rubbish around them
3.What did the Garbage Men Band mainly do according to the passage?
A. They told people how to protect the environment and do some charities.
B. They collected the rubbish in communities and cleaned up the markets.
C. They raised money for the old people by selling their own instruments.
D. They joined the Heifer International and made their own musical CDs.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Music and Environment
B. The Garbage-Men Band
C. Home-made Musical Instruments
D. A Pioneer of American Country Music
