解析：这个题目相对简单，各家也没有什么争议，只需要读懂:For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least.就可以了，其实考生只需要读懂：For the most part, the response has been favorable.这就是核心。acclaim 就是表示 favorable。当然，后面那个人说的话一定是为了说明这个结论的读不读都无妨了。
22. Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is
[A]influential. [B]modest.
[C]respectable. [D]talented.
解析：这个题目关键就是要学会对论点和论据的敏感：Tommasini是个具体的人提他是有目的的。问他的看法，你可以直接看这样一句：”an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.”但是这样的句子中的：unpretentious和formidable能有几个同学认识? 那么就看看这个句子在段落中的地位吧：论据，且和第一句是一个递进的关系，他是进一步说明第一句的：One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known.这个句子该懂了吧。这个人相对来讲名气不大。A,C,D 都无从谈起了。只有modest和这个名气大不大能相关。
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.
解析：作者的观点：The author believes，这个是在关注定位词devoted concertgoers后的另外一个关键点;作者认为concertgoers miss the point;但具体是什么，需要看选项了。A ,
忽略了现场演奏的费用，B,拒绝大多数的唱片演奏。这两个是没有根据的属于未提及选项。C有一定的干扰性：the variety of live performances，二段中是有variety 这个单词的，并且在段落中出现了好多并列的成分，这样对于很多没有读懂原文的同学其实是会产生视觉干扰的。做一个主干的分析你会发现the value of live performances这个宾语和动词是没有原文依据的。最后一个选项之所以正确是由于：作者在一直说唱片的好，而前面又说concertgoers认为现场演奏不会被唱片代替。这样就是论点上的正话反说了。答案就应该是最后一个了。高估了现场表演的价值。这就是对于观点的把握，多么重要啊!!!
24. According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?
[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.
[D]They have only covered masterpieces.
解析：抓住关键词：recordings根据行文顺序与题目基本一致的原则，停在倒数第二段：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.一连串的描述就是B.干扰项是C : They help improve the quality of music.分析主谓宾，回文章中定位你会发现，文章中说的是唱片中的表演的质量要比现在的好，但是并没有说：help improve the quality of music.分析选项主谓宾，和原文一一对应就一定能消除这样的视觉干扰。[A]They are often inferior to live concerts in quality.和原文表诉相反。[D]They have only covered masterpieces.原文没有提及。读者不要自作聪明的觉得，嗯，老师讲过的出现过often 和only的选项太绝对了，不能选。这样的排除是有风险的。教育部命题中心可不可以哪天就用一个only 做正确选项。当然可以了!所以从小啊打好基础!
25. Regarding Gilbert’s role in revitalizing the Philharmonic, the author feels
[A]doubtful. [B]enthusiastic.
[C]confident. [D]puzzled.
解析：问作者的态度，主体是作者，对象是Gilbert’s role in revitalizing the Philharmonic从具体表述出发寻找相应的态度表达词：But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough.一个but ,一个?，一个not就把这种不确定性给出来了。于是这就是选A doubtful.记得技巧派曾经有这样的总结：puzzled 和doubtful 都是所谓的永陪词汇，这样的技巧还是不要的好啊。
