Question

【題目】閱讀理解

A man sat at an underground station in Washington, D.C., and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played six Bach（巴赫）pieces for about 45 minutes. It was rush hour and thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
During the musician's performance, only six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded（鼓掌）. No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post（《華盛頓郵報(bào)》）as part of a social experiment. One of the conclusions from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we missing?

【解析】本文是一篇據(jù)徐文，本文講述了一個(gè)故事，通過這個(gè)故事作者想要告訴我們不要因?yàn)榇颐Χ�錯(cuò)過我們周圍發(fā)生的事情。
（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的”It was a cold day in January.以及most of them on their way to work.“可知，這個(gè)故事發(fā)生在一月份的一個(gè)寒冷的一天，而且是大部分人在上班的路上，由此可知，這應(yīng)該是早上。故應(yīng)選A。
（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的”After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk.“可知，這個(gè)小提琴手收到的第一筆小費(fèi)是來自一個(gè)年輕的女士。故應(yīng)選C。
（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的”He played six Bach（巴赫）pieces for about 45 minutes.“可知，這個(gè)人演奏了六首巴赫的曲目，演奏了45分鐘。故應(yīng)選B。
（4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的”During the musician's performance, only six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk.“可知，在這個(gè)音樂家演奏的過程中，有六個(gè)人停下來聽了一會(huì)兒，有二十個(gè)人給他錢，然后繼續(xù)前行。由此可知，只有這二十六個(gè)人對(duì)他的演奏做出反應(yīng)。故應(yīng)選D。
（5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的”most of them on their way to work、He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.“以及第三段中的”a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk.“可知，這幾個(gè)地方給我們描述了一些過路人，大多數(shù)人是在上班的路上，即使有人在這個(gè)音樂家前面停下來，也是很短暫，然后又急匆匆的走了。故應(yīng)選B。
（6）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段中的”If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we missing?“可知，如果我們沒有一刻停歇去聽一聽這個(gè)世界上最棒的音樂家演奏最好的音樂，那么我們還錯(cuò)過了多少其他的東西？這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)是想告訴我們要去關(guān)注周圍發(fā)生的事情，不要只急急忙忙的向前趕路。故D選項(xiàng)符合文意。
