For the most part ， the response has been favorable ， to say the least. “Hooray！ At last！” wrote Anthony Tommasini， a sober-sided classical-music critic.One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise，however，is that Gilbertis comparatively little known. Even Tommasin，iwho had advocated Gilber‘ts appointment in theTimes， calls him “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez ， that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.For my part， I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one. To be sure， he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions， but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall， or anywhere else， to hear interesting orchestral music. All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf， or boot up my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes.Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time， attention， and money of the art-loving public， classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses ， dance troupes， theater companies， and museums， but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century. 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.One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilbert‘s own interest in new music has been widely noted： Alex Ross， a classical-music critic， has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different， more vibrant organization.” But what will be the nature of that difference？ Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and thePhilharmonic are to succeed， they must first change the relationship between America‘s oldestorchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.譯文：紐約愛樂樂團打算聘請 Alan Gilbert 作為下一任的音樂總監(jiān)，這從 2023 年任命被宣布之日起就在古典音樂界引起了熱議。

別的不說，大局部人的反響是樂觀的好啊，最終好了！”Anthony Tommasini 寫道，他可是一個以嚴峻著稱的古典音樂評論家但是，這個任命之所以一起人們驚異的緣由卻是 Gilbert 相對而言并不是很知名甚至在時代雜志上發(fā)文支持 Gilbert 任命的 Tommasini 都稱其為：低調(diào)的音樂家，在他身上找不到那種飛揚跋扈的指揮家的氣質(zhì)紐約愛樂樂團迄今為止都是由像 Gustav Mahler〔古斯塔夫？馬勒〕和 Pierre Boulez 布列茲那樣的音樂家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的這樣去描述這個樂團的下一位指揮， 至少對于時代的讀者而言，這是一種蒼白的表揚就我看來，我不知道 Gilbert 是否是一個宏大的指揮家或者是一個好的指揮但是我能確定的是，他能表現(xiàn)出很多好玩的樂章，但是我卻應(yīng)當不會去Avery Fisher Hall 或者其他地方去聽一場好玩的交響樂演出我要做的事情就是去我的CD 架上，或者翻開的我的電腦從ITUNES 上下載更多的唱片那些忠實的音樂會觀眾會講唱片并不能代替現(xiàn)場的演出，但是他們無視了一些事情當 下為了獲得藝術(shù)愛好者的錢，時間，關(guān)注度，古典音樂的演奏家們〔其實就是指交響樂團， 同意復(fù)述〕不僅要和劇院，舞蹈隊，演出公司和博物館競爭，而且還需要和那些記錄了 20 世紀的宏大的古典音樂演奏者表演的唱片競爭。

唱片很廉價，那里都能買到，并且比現(xiàn)在很 多現(xiàn)場音樂會的藝術(shù)質(zhì)量要高進一步的講，聽眾能選擇聽唱片的時間和地點這些處處可 以獲得的唱片給傳統(tǒng)的演出機構(gòu)帶來了危機對于古典音樂演奏者而言，他們可能的一個回應(yīng)就是排練出唱片上沒有的曲目Gilbert 對音樂興趣已經(jīng)被廣泛的關(guān)注了：Alex Ross，一名古典音樂的批判家，就這樣描述道：他能夠把愛樂樂團變成一個完全不同，更加有活力的組織但是那種不同的性質(zhì)也是什么呢？ 可能僅僅增加樂團演出的曲目是不夠的，假設(shè) Gilbert 和他的樂團要進步的話，他們就必需首先轉(zhuǎn)變美國最古老的樂團〔就是紐約愛樂樂團〕同他們想吸引的觀眾間的關(guān)系文章分析：這篇文章來自 Commentary 2023 年 9 月刊的一篇文章 Selling Classical Music by TERRY TEACHOUT.這個雜志可以說知名度并不高，這可以看出命題人的出題指向性，反反命題的傾向很嚴峻以前的經(jīng)濟學(xué)人，今年只有在 B 節(jié)入選這篇文章的體裁是談?wù)撐牡谝欢味际且粋€引入三段提出了作者的觀點四段和五段是對于三段觀點進一步的遞進和開放而 在第一個其次段中是不同的人對于任指揮的看法所以閱讀考研文章沒有什么簡潔的就是 關(guān)注觀點！分清論點和論據(jù)！試題分析21. We learn from Para.1 that Gilbert‘s appointment has [A]incurred criticism [B]raised suspicion [C]received acclaim [D]aroused curiosity解析：這個題目相對簡潔，文章在首段首句有這么一句話： The decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment in 2023. 紐約愛樂樂團打算聘請 Alan Gilbert 作為下一任的音樂總監(jiān)，這從 2023 年任命被宣布之日起就在古典音樂界引起了熱議。

從這句話可以看出，人們對Gilbert‘s appointment 是眾說紛紜，布滿了一探到底的氣氛，所以這道題目的答案為D.22. Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is[A] influential [B]modest [C]respectable [D]talented解析：這個題目關(guān)鍵就是要學(xué)會對論點和論據(jù)的敏感：Tommasini 是個具體的人提他是有目的的問他的看法，你可以直接看這樣一句：“an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.”但是這樣的句子中的：unpretentious 和 formidable 屬于難詞，真正知道其詞義的同學(xué)不多，無法直接得出答案 而這個句子在段落中和第一句是一個遞進的關(guān)系，他是進一步說明第一句的：One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise， however， is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. 這個句子難度不大。

這個人相對來講名氣不大A，C，D 都無從談起了只有 modest 和這個名氣大不大能相關(guān)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：作者的觀點：The author believes，這個是在關(guān)注定位詞 devoted concertgoers 后的另外一個關(guān)鍵點；作者認為 concertgoers miss the point；但具體是什么，需要看選項了A ，無視了現(xiàn)場演奏的費用，B，拒絕大多數(shù)的唱片演奏這兩個是沒有依據(jù)的屬于未提及選項C 有確定的干擾性：the variety of live performances，二段中是有variety 這個單詞的， 并且在段落中消滅了好多并列的成分，這樣對于很多沒有讀懂原文的同學(xué)其實是會產(chǎn)生視覺 干擾的。

但是 the value of live performances 這個賓語和動詞是沒有原文依據(jù)的最終一個選項之所以正確是由于：作者在始終說唱片的好，而前面又說 concertgoers 認為現(xiàn)場演奏不會被唱片代替這樣就是論點上的正話反說了通過排解法我們直接可以把答案定位到最終一 個：高估了現(xiàn)場表演的價值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：這是一道典型的細節(jié)題，通過題干中的關(guān)鍵詞：recordings 定位到倒數(shù)其次段： These 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.一連串的描述就是 B.干擾項是C ： They help improve the quality of music.聽 Kevin 的分析主謂賓，回文章中定位你會覺察， 文章中說的是唱片中的表演的質(zhì)量要比現(xiàn)在的好，但是并沒有說：help improve the quality of music. [A]They are often inferior to live concerts in quality. 和原文表述相反。

[D]They have only covered masterpieces.原文沒有提及而且 only 的表意太確定了25. Regarding Gilbert‘s role in revitalizing the Philharmonic， the author feels [A]doubtful [B]enthusiastic [C]confident [D]puzzled解析：問作者的態(tài)度，主體是作者，對象是 Gilbert‘s role in revitalizing the Philharmonic 從具體表述動身查找相應(yīng)的態(tài)度表達詞：But what will be the nature of that difference？ Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough.一個 but ，一個？，一個 not 就把這種不確定性給出來了于是這就是選A doubtful.大小作文真題解析51.

What is conveyed in the picture is both realistic and thought-provoking.Clearly， we can deduce from the picture that with the rapid development of economy ， tourism as a form of enterprise brings China a lot of benefits， but the environment is being polluted tremendously. In public places people have no awareness that they are doing something damaging the environment， the only environment we have. They cause inconvenience and discomfort to other tourists， and also degrade China”s image as a nation.What can we do then ？ First， I think that government should issue severe regulations ， punishing any behavior that damages the environment. Second， the environment protection awareness of the public should be enforced. People should know how closely the clean environment is related to their personal lives. Let”s hope we will have a cleaner and more beautiful world in the near future.分析：今年考研英語作文的難度略有降低。
