He is regarded as⑤ one of the greatest composers⑥ in the history of music. In his twenties⑦， he had been very famous for⑧ his skills on the piano⑨， but then he began to lose his hearing⑩. Beethoven thought about giving up⑪， but in the end he continued to write music. Inspired by his struggles⑫ with deafness, the composer produced some amazing pieces, including nine symphonies⑬， five piano pieces, and an opera! He proceeded⑭ with the composition until his death in 1827, writing more than 130 musical works, including his Symphony No.9 in D minor⑮. ④composer /kəm'pəʊzə/ n．作曲家 ⑤be regarded as...被认为是…… ⑥one of ＋形容词最高级＋名词复数，表示“最……之一”。 ⑦in one’s twenties在某人20多岁时 in one’s＋基数词复数，表示“在某人几十岁时”。 ⑧be famous for...因……而著名 ⑨piano /pi'ænəʊ/ n．钢琴 ⑩lose one’s hearing 失聪 ⑪give up 放弃 ⑫struggle /'strʌɡəl/ n．奋斗vi.奋斗，拼搏 struggle for sth. 为……奋斗；为……努力；争取…… a country struggling for independence 为独立而奋斗的国家 ⑬symphony /'sImfəni/ n．交响乐，交响曲 ⑭proceed /prə'siːd/ vi.继续；进行 proceed with sth.继续做(或从事、进行) ⑮minor /'maInə/ adj.(音乐)小调的；小的；不很重要的 minor injuries轻伤 路德维希·凡·贝多芬是德国作曲家。他被认为是音乐史上最伟大的作曲家之一。20多岁时，他就以高超的钢琴技巧而闻名，但后来开始逐渐失聪。贝多芬想过放弃，但最后还是继续进行音乐创作。受与失聪做斗争的启发，这位作曲家创作了一些令人惊叹的作品，包括九部交响曲、五首钢琴曲和一部歌剧！直到1827年去世前，贝多芬才停止创作。他共写了130多部音乐作品，其中包括D小调第九交响曲。 One day in February 1824, at his little house in Vienna, Austria, Ludwig van Beethoven sat back in his chair and smiled. The famous German composer’s ninth symphony was finally completed. Writing the piece had taken several years, and now the final notes⑯ had been added to the score⑰. At 54 years of age, he didn’t know that this would be his last symphony. As he proudly signed his name at the bottom of⑱ the page, Beethoven tried to imagine how people would respond⑲ when they heard it for the first time. ⑯note /nəʊt/ n．单音，音调，音符 ⑰score /skɔː/ n．乐谱；比分；成绩 ⑱at the bottom of... 在……的底部 ⑲respond /rI'spɒnd/ vi.& vt.回应，回复 respond to 应对；作出回应；作出反应 1824年2月的一天，在奥地利维也纳的小房子里，路德维希·凡·贝多芬靠在椅子上笑了。这位著名的德国作曲家的第九交响曲终于完成了。写这首曲子花了好几年的时间，现在已经把最后的音符加到了乐谱上。这时贝多芬54岁，他并不知道这将是他的最后一部交响曲。当贝多芬骄傲地在乐谱的底部签下自己的名字时，他试着想象人们第一次听到这首曲子时会作何反应。 Before the performance, the backstage⑳ atmosphere at a very famous theatre in Vienna was tense㉑. Beethoven was afraid that the performance would be a disaster. After all, what use is a conductor㉒who could not hear his orchestra—even if he is a musical genius？ “who could...orchestra”为who引导的定语从句，修饰a conductor；“even if...genius”为even if引导的让步状语从句。 ⑳backstage /ˌbæk'steIdʒ/ adj.后台的；(在)幕后(的) ㉑tense /tens/ adj.紧张的；焦虑不安的 ㉒conductor /kən'dʌktə/ n．指挥 在维也纳一个非常著名的剧院里，演出前，后台的气氛非常紧张。贝多芬担心这场表演将会是一场灾难。毕竟，一个听不到自己的管弦乐队的指挥，即使他是音乐天才，能有什么用呢？ The audience did not hesitate㉓ to applaud loudly as the famous composer walked out onto the stage for the first time in 12 years. The theatre’s musical director, Michael Umlauf, joined him and together the two men took charge㉔ of the orchestra. For more than an hour, Beethoven jumped about in front of the orchestra, waving his arms wildly in the air, and madly turning the pages of his score. The whole time, Umlauf stood quietly by his side, skilfully guiding the orchestra through the most amazing piece of music the world had ever known. 画线部分为现在分词短语作状语，其中“the world had ever known”为省略了that的定语从句。 ㉓hesitate /'hezIteIt/ vi.犹豫；踌躇 not hesitate to do sth.毫不犹豫做某事，尽管做某事 ㉔charge /tʃɑːdʒ/ n．主管；负责 take charge of负责 当这位著名的作曲家12年来第一次走上舞台时，观众毫不犹豫地大声鼓掌。剧院音乐指挥迈克尔·奥姆洛夫也走上台和他一起指挥乐队。 在一个多小时的时间里，贝多芬在乐队前面跳跃着，在空中忘情地挥舞着手臂，疯狂地翻动着乐谱。而奥姆洛夫一直安静地站在他身边，巧妙地指挥管弦乐队演奏这首世界上最神奇的音乐作品。 As the final, joyous㉕ note signalled the end of the symphony, the audience jumped to their feet, clapping, cheering and waving their hats. But Beethoven continued conducting, his head buried in the score. It was not until Caroline Unger, one of the singers, took his arm and turned him to face the audience that the great man realised his symphony was a success. 画线部分为独立主格结构，此处用作状语，表示伴随；his head和bury之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以bury用过去分词形式。 本句为强调句型，其结构为“It be＋not until...＋that...”，强调的是时间状语。 ㉕joyous /'dʒɔIəs/ adj.欢乐的，令人愉快的 当最后一个欢快的音符标志着交响乐的结束时，观众都跳了起来，鼓掌、欢呼，挥舞着他们的帽子。但贝多芬继续指挥，他的头埋在乐谱中。直到其中一名歌手卡洛琳·昂格尔拉着他的手臂转向观众，这位伟人才意识到他的交响乐取得了成功。 Later, Caroline remembered that Beethoven was not the only one who got a surprise.“The audience was shocked as well，” she said with a broad㉖ smile. “Most of them had no idea that he was deaf! The one person in the room who didn’t hear the symphony—and never would—was the very man who composed㉗ it.” 本句为主从复合句。其中第一个who引导的定语从句修饰主语the one person；第二个who引导的定语从句修饰表语the very man。 ㉖broad /brɔːd/ adj.宽阔的；广博的 broad smile满面的笑容 ㉗compose /kəm'pəʊz/ vt.作(曲)；构成；写作 be composed of...由……组成/构成 The committee is mainly composed of lawyers.委员会主要由律师组成。 后来，卡洛琳回忆道，不光贝多芬感到惊讶，“观众也感到震惊，”她满面笑容地说道。“大多数观众都不知道他已经失聪！剧院里唯一没有听到并且永远也不会听到这部交响乐的那个人，竟然是它的创作者。” 1．Read the text quickly and match the main ideas with the paragraphs.

Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses.When he does so, each glass makes a different musical sound.Visitors like what they see and hear.They thank Turner by leaving a donation of a dollar or more in his box.Jamey Turner is 78 years old now.He first became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.He has been playing it for 50 years. Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard.He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking.He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes.Adding more water to a glass will make a lower sound.The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound. Turner always uses low-priced glass considering that it sounds better than costly crystal (水晶), and he has more control over the sound.Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores.He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing (摩擦) his finger over the top of them. The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Mozart wrote music for the instrument.About 400 pieces of music have been written just for the glass harp.But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from China.Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on the Internet.He hopes the next generation will continue making music with it.

A．To save more money. B．To protect his fingers. C．To adjust beats easily. D．To produce better sounds. 答案：D 2 3 1 4 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Turner always uses low-priced glass considering that it sounds better than costly crystal, and he has more control over the sound.(Turner考虑到比昂贵的水晶听起来更好，所以总是使用低价的玻璃，而且他对玻璃的声音的控制更强)”可知，Turner 选择使用便宜的玻璃杯，因为它们比昂贵的水晶杯声音更好，而且他可以更好地控制声音。故选D。 2 3 1 4 4．What does Turner expect of the glass harp? A．It can be passed on. B．Students can study it in school. C．It can be used to play all sorts of music. D．More composers can write music for it. 答案：A 2 3 1 4 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on the Internet.He hopes the next generation will continue making music with it.(现在很少有人弹玻璃竖琴了，但Turner说他在网络上看到了人们试验这种乐器的视频。他希望下一代能继续用它制作音乐)”可知，Turner 希望下一代能够继续用玻璃琴创作音乐，这表明他希望这种乐器能够传承下去。故选A。 2 3 1 4 B Researches show that 43，000 years ago our ancestors were making music.The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us both mentally and physically.Tears can uncontrollably well up even in the most hardened eyes when Bruce Springsteen sings The River.It’s hard not to nod your head with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll.And you might not be human if you don’t feel an urge to dance while listening to Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off.We have evolved (进化) to feel music. There’s plentiful evidence that humans really feel music, but are the feelings universal? If humans from different cultures listen to the same songs, will they respond in the same way? That’s what a team of Chinese and Finnish researchers wanted to find out. In a recent experiment, they presented nearly 2，000 participants from the United Kingdom，the United States and China with different songs and asked them to describe where they felt the music in their bodies. For this, the researchers gave each subject blank outlines of a human and asked them to color the regions where they felt changing activity in their bodies. The researchers found that all the participants responded to the songs in nearly the same way.“Across both cultures, happy and danceable songs activated the arms, legs, and the head.In contrast, sad, gentle, and scary songs activated mainly the chest and head regions，” the researchers described.“The results suggest similar bodily feelings of musical emotions across distant cultures.”Furthermore, the results show that humans feel music in the same way regardless of language and familiarity.Participants from one culture were not very familiar with others’ songs.Instead, their bodies were responding to specific acoustic (听觉的) clues. However, the team noted that their experiment only analyzed two cultures, meaning it’s possible that people living in a faraway part of the world would react to music very differently, which will be the highlight of their further study.
