徐可风启示：Critic是“评论家”的意思，而不是“批评”
二、
22. Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is
[A]influential. [B]modest.
[C]respectable. [D]talented.
1）由题干定位原文：定到第二段，注意题干与原文划线部分的联系。
One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in the Times, calls him “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.
2 ）标答：[B]modest 适度的，普通的
3） 题眼：划线单词与modest同义复现。

三、
23. The author believes that the devoted concertgoers
[A]ignore the expenses of live performances.
[B]reject most kinds of recorded performances.
[C]exaggerate the variety of live performances.
[D]overestimate the value of live performances.
1）由题干定位原文：定到第四段，注意题干与原文划线部分的联系。
Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century. There recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today’s live performances; moreover, they can be “consumed” at a time and place of the listener’s choosing. The widespread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.
2） 标答：[D]overestimate the value of live performances.
3 ）题眼：本题较难，需要进行段落结构的分析
第一部分：提出观点Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point.

徐可风启示：划线部分是指live performances的竞争对手有很多，而不是说live performances本身形式的多样化。
四、

[A]They are often inferior to live concerts in quality.
[B]They are easily accessible to the general public.
[C]They help improve the quality of music.

五、
25. Regarding Gilbert’s role in revitalizing the Philharmonic, the author feels
[A]doubtful. [B]enthusiastic.
[C]confident. [D]puzzled.
1）由题干定位原文：定到最后一段，注意题干与原文划线部分的联系。
One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilbert’s own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more vibrant organization.” But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America’s oldest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.
2 ）标答：[A]doubtful. 徐可风启示，这个词准确的含义是“uncertain”(引自朗文词典)，而不是“怀疑的”
3 ）题眼：

徐可风：正因为“will not be enough”,所以很多事情就难说了，就不确定了。
