9.________　10.________
篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一位澳大利亞輕音樂作曲家Johann Strauss。
1.an　考查冠詞。composer是可數(shù)名詞，且Austrian以元音音素開頭，故填an。
2.to become　考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。want sb. to do sth. 意為“想要某人做某事”。
3.secretly　考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。設(shè)空處修飾動(dòng)詞studied，要用副詞，故填secretly。
4.saying　考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。he和say之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語，故填saying。
5.composers　考查名詞。one of后加復(fù)數(shù)名詞，表示“……之一”，故填composers。
6.writing　考查固定搭配。設(shè)空處作介詞to的賓語，devote oneself to doing “獻(xiàn)身于/致力于做某事”，固定搭配，故填writing。
7.pleased　考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。設(shè)空處在句中作表語，且表示“滿意的”，故填pleased。
8.which　考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。這是一個(gè)非限制性定語從句，設(shè)空處為“介詞＋which”引導(dǎo)定語從句，故填which。
9.as　考查固定詞組。be known as意為“作為……而出名”，故填介詞as。
10.popularity　考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。設(shè)空處應(yīng)用名詞作介詞for的賓語，故填popularity。
Ⅳ.短文改錯(cuò)

難項(xiàng)分析：
第二處：what→that/which　考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本句是一個(gè)含有定語從句的復(fù)合句，先行詞targets在定語從句中作主語，指物，應(yīng)用that/which來引導(dǎo)該從句。
第五處：but→and　考查連詞。根據(jù)上下文可知，make和follow兩個(gè)動(dòng)作之間是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，故用and。
第十處：confident→confidence　考查名詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)用confident的名詞形式confidence作have的賓語。

Ⅰ.閱讀理解

(2020·吉林省輝南縣一中高三上學(xué)期第二次月考)Has the volume (音量) in a restaurant ever made you finish your meal early? If so, you're not alone. Restaurants handle diners in various ways to influence food choices and consumption, from lighting to menu to server presentation. Unfortunately for those headache-prone restaurant goers, some places also choose to turn up the tunes and the background noise.
Chef Mario Batali is often blamed for the phenomenon of ultra-loud or noisy restaurants in the 1990s, when he decided to flood the dining room with the same loud tunes he was playing in his kitchen. And other chefs followed suit. Some restaurateurs felt a “l(fā)ivelier” atmosphere encouraged more customers, but a side “benefit” was quicker table turnover, thus increasing the number of people who could dine in a specific evening.
A 1985 study out of Fairfield University looked at how chewing speed varied according to the type of music being played. Although the volume level was kept the same for both musical situations, it's important to note that fast-tempo (節(jié)奏) music often gives the impression of being louder than slower music.
“A significant increase in the number of bites per minute was found, and the effect was largest for fast music，” the researchers wrote in the study. So, the faster, louder music gets people to down their food more quickly, relieving the table for future customers.
There're opinions about whether or not this is a sound practice. “A restaurant that places profit above dining experience often plays loud music with a fast tempo that puts diners under pressure to eat more quickly, even if that means they're less able to enjoy their meal，” writes Dr Neel Burton in Psychology Today, adding that loud, fast music reduces appetite.
What's more, some would-be repeat diners will shy away for fear of another ultra-loud meal. The non-profit group Action on Hearing Loss found in a 2016 survey of nearly 1,500 people that 91% of those who view a restaurant as too noisy would choose not to return.

(2020·廣西柳州市高三上學(xué)期摸底考試)There is such a group of singers in the western musical circle at present, who enter the business as online celebrities (名人) and then become top idols and giant stars globally. They become popular for their videos online and then they are discovered by talent agents and gradually cause huge storms in the musical circle. For example, Troye Sivan, a singer who is nicknamed “chuoye”， became popular on You Tube from an early age.
As a popular video sharing website, YouTube has given rise to plenty of stars, creating a new celebrity culture. Providing a platform where anyone can post videos. YouTube presents the opportunity for anyone to achieve fame by simply uploading a short video. Sivan has been making YouTube videos since he was 12 to show his singing talent. In the digital age, Sivan has already developed large devoted audience online and his sensitive video blogs have earned him extreme popularity.
A survey has showed that US teenagers are more attracted with YouTube stars, which is a surprising result. YouTube stars are judged to be more attractive, outstanding and related than traditional stars. Looking at the survey comments and feedback, teens enjoy a close and real experience with YouTube celebrities, who aren't carefully directed by design. Teens also say they appreciate YouTube stars' sense of humor and risk-taking spirit, which are often limited by Hollywood stars. As a result, singers who make their first show in the traditional way no longer have a complete advantage in front of the audience. Online platforms open up a lot of doors for people. They become the best place to be discovered.
