Question

【題目】

Everybody knows Amadeus Mozart, the world’s most famous child piano prodigy (天才) . He was a composer, pianist, and performer (表演家)－a musician. He was born in Austria, but his real name is not popular. People know him as Amadeus, but not many people know he was born John Chrysostom Wolfgang Theophilus Mozart, and his father called him Woferl.

As a child, Mozart was very popular. That was because he was doing things unusual for little children. While everyone else was having fun playing, Mozart was already composing, performing and touring for concerts. His father was always behind him.

Here are some stories about his gift. When he heard an “oink” of a pig and recognized (辨認(rèn)) it as a G-sharp. And he was only two years old at the time!

He also took part in piano lessons at the age of three and he could already learn a minuet in thirty minutes when he was four years old! Who wouldn’t be amazed?

At the age of six, while performing, he found people getting bored, so he thought of performing a trick (花招) , But nobody knew he had the keyboard covered (遮蓋) with a cloth and still played the music perfectly. He was still a child having fun at that time.

It was told that he lived a hard and poor life. He didn’t even have a stable (穩(wěn)定的) job when he got married and he died really poor. Once a friend visited him one winter day, and found Mozart and his wife waltzing round the room. “We were cold,” they said, “and we have no money to make a fire.” They were cold, but they still chose a different way to make them warm.

All in all, Mozart didn’t only leave great music but a great lesson too: that no matter how difficult life is, there is always room for smiles, love and fun.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】A

【解析】

本文講述了莫扎特。他出生在奧地利，小時候很受歡迎。當(dāng)其他人都在樂此不疲地演奏時，莫扎特已經(jīng)在作曲、表演、巡回演出了。他的父親總是支持他。據(jù)說他沒有穩(wěn)定的工作，生活很貧窮。莫扎特不僅留下了偉大的音樂，也給我們上了重要的一課:無論生活多么艱難，總有微笑、愛和歡樂的空間。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“but not many people know he was born John Chrysostom Wolfgang Theophilus Mozart, and his father called him Woferl.”可知他父親叫他“Woferl”，故選C。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“He also took part in piano lessons at the age of three and he could already learn a minuet in thirty minutes when he was four years old!”三歲彈鋼琴，四歲應(yīng)該是學(xué)習(xí)音樂，故選A。

【3】推理判斷題。A. Mozart had a poor life when he was married. 莫扎特結(jié)婚時生活很貧困；B. Mozart got a stable job when he grew up.莫扎特長大后得到了一份穩(wěn)定的工作；C. Mozart was very good at teaching music.莫扎特非常擅長教音樂；D. Mozart’s real name is very popular.莫扎特的真名很受歡迎；根據(jù)“He was born in Austria, but his real name is not popular”可知并不受歡迎，排除D；選項(xiàng)C在文中沒有提及；根據(jù)“He didn’t even have a stable (穩(wěn)定的) job when he got married and he died really poor.”可知他沒有穩(wěn)定的工作，所以結(jié)婚的時候，生活很窮，故選A。

推理判斷就是根據(jù)文章所提供的信息，脫離字面理解的局限，抓住關(guān)鍵細(xì)節(jié)，得出合乎邏輯的結(jié)論。所以我們可以根據(jù)文章中的相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)去判斷推理，得知答案。

本文第三題考查了推理判斷題。A. Mozart had a poor life when he was married. 莫扎特結(jié)婚時生活很貧困；B. Mozart got a stable job when he grew up.莫扎特長大后得到了一份穩(wěn)定的工作；C. Mozart was very good at teaching music.莫扎特非常擅長教音樂；D. Mozart’s real name is very popular.莫扎特的真名很受歡迎；根據(jù)“He was born in Austria, but his real name is not popular”可知并不受歡迎，排除D；選項(xiàng)C在文中沒有提及；根據(jù)“He didn’t even have a stable (穩(wěn)定的) job when he got married and he died really poor.”可知他沒有穩(wěn)定的工作，所以結(jié)婚的時候，生活很窮，故選A。
