79、故选B。26.C解析：推理判断题。从第四段中的“Many people came to see her play in her space bubble.”可以看出，Brenda Bongos是因为发明了这种特殊的练鼓方式而出名的。故选C。27.A解析：推理判断题。从Brenda Bongos不愿意打扰别人可以看出她的善良；从她想各种办法进行训练可以看出她的刻苦；从她想出特殊的练习打鼓的方法可以看出她的聪明。故选A。28.A解析：细节理解题。依据第三段的尾句可知，Brenda发明了特殊的练习打鼓的方式，又根据第四段中的“Shortly afterwards she came out of th
80、e bubble and started giving concerts.”可知，她结束了这种特殊的练习方式之后，就举办了音乐会。故选A项。C文章大意：文章讲述了一位到美国曼哈顿旅游的法国游客Duret救人的故事。29.C解析：推理判断题。根据第五段的首句“Duret，an engineer on vacation，was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头)when he saw something falling into the water.”可知本题选C。30.D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Tuesdays Daily Ne
