文章大意：文章講述的是世界上有一群天生不喜歡聽音樂的人，被稱之為amusic，這些人聽力上沒有任何問題，只是不喜歡聽音樂，也無法欣賞音樂。很多人在之前都因此而苦惱，現(xiàn)在有了科學的解釋，他們可以擺脫那種尷尬、不自在的處境了。72．WhichofthefollowingisTRUEofamusics?A．Listeningtomusicisfarfromenjoyableforthem.B．Theyloveplaceswheretheyarelikelytohearmusic.C．Theycaneasilytelltwodifferentsongsapart.D．Theirsituationiswellunderstoodbymusicians.答案：A根據(jù)第一段：“Forsomepeople,musicisnofunatall”可知，A項正確，意為，“對于某些人來說，聽音樂并不是開心的事情”和A項的聽音樂對他們來說遠非是愉快的相同。因此，B項也是錯誤的。根據(jù)第一段的“Peoplewhoareamusicarebornwithouttheabilitytorecognizeorreproducemusicalnotes(音調(diào)).Amusicpeopleoftencannottellthedifferencebetweentwosongs.”可知，C、D兩項錯誤。73．Accordingtoparagraph3,apersonwith“defectivehearing”isprobablyonewho________.A．dislikeslisteningtospeeches B．canhearanythingnonmusicalC．hasahearingproblem D.lacksacomplexhearingsystem答案：C該段前兩句講的是不愛聽音樂的人和喜歡聽音樂的人是不同的，他們之間的區(qū)別很復雜，但是“havenoproblemsunderstandingordinaryspeech.”又講到了這些不愛聽音樂的人在理解其他非音樂的聲音或者演講的時候是沒有問題的，目的是為了強調(diào)他們是正常的，沒有什么缺陷的，因此defectivehearing指的是C項的ahearingproblem，即聽覺有問題。句意為：他們之間的區(qū)別是很復雜的，但并不包括聽覺有問題這種情況。74．Inthelastparagraph,Margaretexpressedherwishthat________.A．herproblemwithmusichadbeendiagnosedearlierB．shewereseventeenyearsoldratherthanseventyC．herproblemcouldbeeasilyexplainedD．shewereabletomeetotheramusics答案：AIjustwishIhadlearnedtosaythatwhenIwasseventeenandnotseventy.意為，我希望我在十七歲的時候就學會了這樣說(指的是No,thanks,I'mamusic這句，意為，謝謝你，我是一個不喜歡聽音樂的人)，而不是到了七十歲才學會。從最后一段我們知道，theirconditionisfinallydiagnosed.(診斷)他們的這種狀況終于最后確診了，他們都屬于amusic，但是這來的太遲了，對于Margaret來說，因為之前她總是Margaretfeltem
