Unit 20 单元话题·语篇训练（每单元3练） 课时练(一)　阅读理解组块专练——练速度 (限时：35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2019·贵阳监测)In no particular order, here are some songs on the Music app of my phone： On a Sunday Afternoon by Lighter Shade of Brown — A student of mine introduced this rap song to me all the way back in the early 1990s, when I was teaching Spanish at a local university. The story in the song takes place not too far from where I live in Los Angeles. Its a good “driving” song, nothing complicated or “deep”． Say Something by A Great Big World — A more recent song about a couple losing contact with each other. The piano part is of very little playing but beautiful. American Pie by Don McLean — Another song from my youth in the 1980s, very popular with almost every American of my generation. It retells some of the key events of the middle 20th century, a song of happy memories of the past and wanting to return to those better times. The Weight by The Band — Another old song, originally made public in 1968, but one I didnt hear until I was in high school more than 10 years later. I dont understand the words to the song completely, but the feeling of the song is very comforting to me. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers — This Los Angeles group wrote a song that I used to listen to when I first moved to LA more than 25 years ago. I didnt know anyone here when I first arrived. When I got bored, I used to drive up and down the major streets that cross the city from east to west, listening to this song about “the city of angels” being as “lonely as I am”. (Dont worry! I have plenty of friends now.) 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了在作者的手机音乐播放器中存的几首歌曲的相关信息。 1．What does the underlined word “deep” probably mean? A．With skill. B．With comfort. C．With a normal meaning. D．With a significant meaning. 解析：选D　词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句中的“Its a good ‘driving’ song, nothing complicated”可知，此处表示这首歌是一首说唱乐，适合驾车时听，含义不复杂，故可推知这首歌没有重大的意义，所以选D。 2．When did the author probably hear The Weight by The Band? A．In 1968.　　　　　　　　 B．In 1970. C．In the 1980s.
