53、sic答案:【语篇解读】本篇为写人的记叙文。19岁的法律系学生Samuel Osmond是一个音乐天才。以前他从没有学过音乐,但是他可以弹钢琴,并且经常弹奏名家名曲,人们对此很吃惊。是什么造就了这一传奇?赶快来阅读一下吧。1D解析:细节理解题。由第一段中However,he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.可以知道,他的特别之处在于他听了曲子之后就能演奏出来,故选D项。文章没有说他有创作音
54、乐的天赋,也没有说他能写下他听到的音符(只是说“记住”),更没有提到他是法学院的优等生,因此可以排除其他选项。2B解析:细节理解题。由Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents.可以知道,他想成为一名律师(也是他父母的愿望),而不是一名音乐家,故选B项,可排除A项;由.but music teachers told him he should study music instead.可以知道,音乐老师想让他放弃法律专业,学习音乐,因此排除D项;由.but Samuel doesnt even realiz
55、e that what he can do is special.可以知道,他并不认为自己是音乐天才,因此排除C项。3C解析:细节理解题。由第三段中.without being able to read music and without having any lessons.可以知道,他看不懂乐谱,没有上过音乐课,却能够弹钢琴,这让人们很惊讶。4B解析:推理判断题。由第四段中Samuel says confidently,“Its all about super memoryI guess I have that gift.”可以知道,他对自己非凡的记忆力感到骄傲,故选B项。文章说到人们对他的记忆力留下深刻印象,但是不能说他一举成名,因此排除A项。5B解析:主旨大意题。全文讲述了一个只靠记忆就能演奏非常复杂的名曲的音乐天才。C项有一定的干扰性,Samuel早年受过音乐的熏陶,但是文章的重点不是讲述早期教育的重要性,因此可以排除。
