高考题型组合练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Paul O’Sullivan walked around his apartment in the US city of Baltimore one evening in 2014，feeling bored.Just for fun，he decided to try to find out how many other people on Facebook shared his name.Moments later，dozens of Paul O’Sullivans filled his screen and he sent friend requests to them all. As Baltimore Paul looked through the profiles of the Paul O’Sullivans who accepted his invitation，he noticed something four of them had in common：They were all musicians.Baltimore Paul had an idea.He asked the other three musical Pauls if they’d like to form a band called The Paul O’Sullivans.They all agreed. Starting a band across multiple time zones proved to be nettlesome.Fortunately，Manchester Paul，a 59-year-old former professional musician knew how to fix that.They would create a kind of musical assembly line including online sessions. The Band released its first original song，“Namesake”， in March 2016.But just months after the song’s release，Baltimore Paul began experiencing health issues that forced him to take time off from making music.The other Pauls also decided to take a break from the band.But they didn’t press pause on their friendship.Instead，they made sure Baltimore Paul never felt alone，even with the long distances between them.They shared family pictures and chatted online. Finally，after a four-year break，Baltimore Paul was well enough to start making music again.The first thing the band did was create a music video for “Namesake”，which has now been watched on YouTube more than 50,000 times. “It has been a lovely journey that has lasted seven years so far.A four-stop international tour—one concert in each of our hometowns—would be great，” says Baltimore Paul. “What are the odds，” he says，“that a random Facebook request would lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well？” “Some things are just meant to be.” 语篇解读　本文为记叙文，讲述了四位名为Paul O’Sullivan的音乐家一起组建乐队，建立友谊的故事。 1．What inspired Baltimore Paul to form a band A．His enthusiasm for music. B．His dream of having an international tour. C．Four Paul O’Sullivans all being musicians.

B．Disappointing. C．Troublesome. D．Interesting. 答案　C 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线单词下文“Fortunately，Manchester Paul，a 59-year-old former professional musician knew how to fix that.”可推知，画线词所在句表示“跨越多个时区组建一个乐队是很麻烦的，棘手的事情。”故选C项。 3．What can be learned from paragraph 4 A．It never rains but it pours. B．It’s never ... ...
