21.B以做學徒開始了他的生涯．a(chǎn)s 放在表示職業(yè)的詞前面，譯為＂當；做＂．本題最大的干擾項是with．我們不能說他從一個學徒開始了他的生涯，應該是＂當學徒＂．
22.A violin 是樂器，應該是instrument.
23.C 他實驗了幾種形狀和風格．意思是他做了不同形狀和風格的小提琴并進行了實驗（以發(fā)現(xiàn)哪種更好）．A. B只能表明調(diào)查（以獲得事實和信息），experiment 后面要接on, test　有＂實驗；測試＂的意思．
24.B現(xiàn)存的小提琴成了寶貴的財產(chǎn)．因為在介紹250年前一個著名的小提琴制作手，所以用＂現(xiàn)存＂合乎題意．
25.C　Strad 沒有把制作的方法讓人知道，所以是kept his notes safely hidden. 其他的確幾個詞都不能說明他人不知道這個事實．
26.A下面提供了幾種解釋，但都是不太確定的，因此是possible,其他的三個選項都和實際的情況沖突．
27.D.（小提琴獨特的音質(zhì)的）秘密就在于．．．．．．
28.A�。⒋髱煟�，指的是Strad.
29.B化學家仔細分析了清漆并發(fā)現(xiàn)清漆的使用改進了小提琴的音質(zhì)．a(chǎn)pplication 在這里是＂使用；應用＂的意思．要不斷提醒學生在學習過程中一詞多意的現(xiàn)象，多積累．
30.D still 表示轉(zhuǎn)折關系．從上文中可知有很多種關于為什么Strad制作的小提琴的音質(zhì)那么獨特的解釋，但卻沒有任何其他人可以完全（讓自己制作的小提琴）發(fā)出同樣的聲音．．
