第一篇讲钢琴的发展历终于找到了是1995年10月托福阅读真题, 12个问题考了其中5个.今年RP该彻底爆发了,输入关键词居然能找到
For a century and a half the piano has been one of the most popular solo instruments for Western music.Unlike string and wind instrument, the piano is completely self-sufficient, as it is able to play both the melody and its accompanying harmony at the same time.For this reason, it became the favorite household instrument of the nineteenth century.The ancestry of the piano can be traced to the early keyboard instruments of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries – the spinet, the dulcimer, and the virginal.In the seventeenth century the organ, the clavichord, and the harpsichord became the chief instruments of the keyboard group, a supremacy they maintained until the piano supplanted them at the end of the eighteenth century.The clavichord's tone was metallic and never powerful;neverthele, because of the variety of tone poible to it, many composers found the clavichord a sympathetic instrument for intimate chamber music.The harpsichord with its bright, vigorous tone was the favorite instrument for supporting the ba of the small orchestra of the period and for concert use but the character of the tone could not be varied save by mechanical or structural devices.The piano was perfected in the early eighteenth century by a harpsichord maker in Italy(though musicologists point out several previous instances of the instrument).This instrument was called a piano e forte(soft and loud), to indicate its dynamic versatility;its strings were struck by a recoiling hammer with a felt-padded head.The wires were much heavier in the earlier instruments.A series of mechanical improvements continuing well into the nineteenth century, including the introduction of pedals to sustain tone or to soften it, the perfection of a metal frame and steel wire of the finest quality, finally produced an instrument capable of myriad tonal effects from the most delicate harmonies to an almost orchestral fullne of sound, from a liquid, singing tone to a sharp, percuive brilliance.1.What does the paage mainly discu?
(A)The historical development of the piano
(B)The quality of tone produced by various keyboard instruments
(C)The uses of keyboard instruments in various types of compositions
(D)The popularity of the piano with composers

第二篇我在网上输关键字找到了,发现是1997年10月份托福一篇阅读理解原题,12个问题考了其中5个.我整理了下,并附上答案.Galaxies are the major building blocks of the universe.A galaxy is giant family of many millions of stars, and it is held together by its own gravitational field.Most of the material universe is organized into galaxies of stars together with gas and dust.There are three main types of galaxy: spiral, elliptical, and irregular.The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, a flattish disc of stars with two spiral arms emerging from its central nucleus.About one-quarter of all galaxies have this shape.Spiral galaxies are well supplied with the interstellar gas in which new stars form: as the rotating spiral pattern sweeps around the galaxy it comprees gas and dust, triggering the formation of bright young stars and in its arms.The elliptical galaxies have a symmetrical elliptical or spheroidal shape with no obvious structure.Most of their member stars are very old and since ellipticals are devoid of interstellar gas, no new stars are forming in them.The biggest and brightest galaxies in the universe are ellipticals with maes of about 1013 times that of the Sun, these giants may frequently be sources of strong radio emiion, in which case they are called radio galaxies.About two-thirds of all galaxies are elliptical.Irregular galaxies comprise about one-tenth of all galaxies and they come in many subclaes.Measurement in space is quite different from measure-ment on Earth.Some terrestrial distances
can be expreed as intervals of time, the time to fly from one continent to another or the time it takes to drive to work, for example.By comparison with these familiar yardsticks, the distances to the galaxies are incomprehensibly large, but they too are made more manageable by using a time calibration, in this case the distance that light travels in one year.On such a scale the nearest giant spiral galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy, is two million light years away.The most distant luminous objects seen by telescopes are probably ten thousand million light years away.Their light was already halfway here before the Earth even formed.The light from the nearby Virgo galaxy set outwhen reptiles still dominated the animal world.1.What does the second paragraph mainly discu?
(A)The Milky Way
(B)Major categories of galaxies
(C)How elliptical galaxies are formed
(D)Differences between irregular and spiral galaxies
ANSWER: B
2.According to the paage, new stars are formed in spiral galaxies due to
(A)an explosion of gas
(B)the compreion of gas and dust
(C)the combining of old stars
(D)strong radio emiions
ANSWER: B
3.According to the paage, which of the following is NOT true of elliptical galaxies?
(A)They are the largest galaxies.(B)They mostly contain old stars.(C)They contain a high amount of interstellar gas.(D)They have a spherical shape.ANSWER: C
4.Why does the author mention the Virgo galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy in the third paragraph?
(A)To describe the effect that distance has no visibility.(B)To compare the ages of two relatively young galaxies.(C)To emphasize the vast distances of the galaxies from Earth.(D)To explain why certain galaxies cannot be seen by a telescope.ANSWER: C
5.The word “dominated” in last line is closest in meaning to
(A)threatened
(B)replaced
(C)were developing in
(D)were prevalent in
ANSWER: D

汉翻英智者的眼睛
电台请一位商界奇才做嘉宾主持，大家非常希望能听他谈谈成功之路。但他只是淡淡一笑，说：“还是出一个题考考你们吧。”
“某某地发现了金矿，人们一窝蜂地拥去，然而一条大河挡住了必经之路。是你，该怎么办？” 有人说“绕道走”，也有人说“游过去”。商界奇才笑而不答，最后，他说：“为什么非得去陶金，为什么不可以买一条船开展营运？”
大家愕然，商界奇才说：“那样的情况，就是宰得渡客只剩下一条短裤，他们也会心甘情愿的。因为，前面有金矿啊！”
干他人不想干的，做他人不曾做的，这就是成功之路。困境在智者眼中，往往意味着一个潜在的机遇！
