Guadalupe Mountains National Park The most visually striking point here is El Capitan. The massive cliff (悬崖), 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building, towers over the rest of the park, which offers you a perfect spot for taking impressive pictures. You can also wander the Salt Basin Dunes, 2,000 acres of shockingly white sands. If you're taking very long hikes, bring plenty of water and some protein-rich snacks. Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument The Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument preserves more than 87,500 acres of wild rivers and thick forests. In addition to hiking and camping, Katahdin is a great spot for hunting and fishing. Bring some hiking boots and perhaps trekking poles (登山杖)to cross these rocky forest trails. The park has a day use fee of $5, and the first-come, first-serve campsites cost $8 per night. North Cascades National Park Though the snowy peaks of the North Cascades are dangerous in the winter, it turns into a thick and green park in the warmer months, filled with beautiful mountain valleys and clear lakes. You can take a guided nature hike or go fishing. Winter driving conditions in the North Cascades can be dangerous, due to water, frost, snow, or ice on the roads. Organ Mountains.—Desert Peaks National Monument This is not a national park，but is a national monument. It is home to several rare species of plants and animals，and lava (炫岩)flow. There are excellent chances for hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and nature photography, as well as overnight hiking. You can also go primitive camping anywhere in the monument for free. It's highly recommended that you should bring plenty of water and sunscreen, and know your fitness level ahead of time. 1. What may attract a photographer most to go to the first park? A. The steep cliff. B. The low ticket price. C. The towers in the park. D. The particularly white sands. 2. How much should one pay for camping in the second park for 2 days and 1 night? A. $15. B. $18. C. $21. D. $24. 3. Camping in the fourth park, _____________. A. you are only allowed to camp in daytime B. you can only stay one night there for free C. you can feed rare animals D. you should be well-prepared 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个适合春天参观的国家公园。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Guadalupe Mountains National Park部分下的The massive cliff, 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building，towers over the rest of the park, which offers you a perfect spot for taking impressive pictures. (巨大的悬崖，高度是帝国大厦的2.5倍，比公园的其它部分都要高，为你提供了一个拍摄令人印象深刻的照片的完美地点)可知，陡峭的悬崖会摄影师拍摄。A. The steep cliff. (陡峭的悬崖)符合以上说法，故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument部分The park has a day use fee of $5 ... $8 per night可知，白天5美元，晚上8美元，所以可推断两天一夜为$5+$5+$8=$18，共18美元。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument部分的It's highly recommended that you should bring plenty of water and sunscreen, and know your fitness level ahead of time (强烈建议你应该带足够的水和防晒霜，并提前知道你的健康水平)可知，去这个公园，你应该做好充分的准备。D. you should be well-prepared (你应该做充分的准备)符合以上说法，故选D项。 B Ferrell got the standard well wishes on the website on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One message was from a family in California who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was heartbroken. Could Ferrell help? That message was exactly what Ferrell was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd the longtime social service worker had put out a call on her website. She wanted to perform 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month! and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the California family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near” carved on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can listen to it whenever he wants. This is not the first time that Ferrell has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization devoted to doing good deeds. Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched over 100 strangers, some found online, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shared her favorite creative gift ideas online for others to use. Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards and care packages. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like “YESSS!” It’s Ferrell’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to. 4. Why did Ferrell send the California family a wind chime? A. To bring a message to the family. B. To ask for the needed information. C. To comfort the child who lost his brother. D. To help the child lean about a wind chime. 5. What do we know about Ferrell? A. She began to give gifts at 53. B. She did 53 acts of kindness in total. C. She helped people in trouble in different ways. D. She set up an organization to celebrate her birthday. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Ferrell? A. Gifted and modest. B. Caring and generous. C. Humorous and thoughtful. D. Determined and confident. 7. what can we learn from the text? A. To give is better than to receive. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了名为法瑞尔的女性社会服务工作者长期致力于做好事，并且在网上分享了自己最喜欢的创意礼物，供他人使用。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“One message was from a family in California who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was heartbroken. Could Ferrell help?”（其中一条消息来自加利福尼亚州的一个家庭，他们四岁的儿子刚刚死于癌症。他的哥哥很伤心。法瑞尔能帮吗?）以及第二段中“When she got the note about the California family, she sent a wind chime with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near” carved on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can listen to it whenever he wants.”（当她收到关于加州一家的纸条时，她发送了一个风铃，上面刻着“倾听风，知道我就在附近”。现在，这首歌挂在四岁男孩的卧室里，他的弟弟随时都可以听。）可推知，法瑞尔给加州一家送了一个风铃是为了安慰失去弟弟的孩子。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social service worker had put out a call on her website. She wanted to perform 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month! and she needed information on people who could use one.”（为了庆祝她的53岁生日，这位长期的社会服务工作者在她的网站上发布了一个号召。她想在她的出生月结束前做53件善事!她需要有需要的人的信息。）和第三段中“For her 47th, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization devoted to doing good deeds. Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched over 100 strangers, some found online, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shared her favorite creative gift ideas online for others to use.”（47岁那年，她成立了Love with Skin On组织，致力于做好事。这些年来，法瑞尔已经接触了100多个陌生人，其中一些人是在网上找到的，另一些人是在她孙辈的帮助下找到的。在另一种捐赠行为中，她在网上分享了自己最喜欢的创意礼物，供他人使用。）可推知，她用不同的方式帮助有困难的人。A项在她53岁的时候开始送礼物与文章47岁那年已经开始捐赠的事实相悖。BD选项与原文实意不符。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social service worker had put out a call on her website. She wanted to perform 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month! and she needed information on people who could use one.”（为了庆祝她的53岁生日，这位长期的社会服务工作者在她的网站上发布了一个号召。她想在她的出生月结束前做53件善事!她需要有需要的人的信息。）以及第四段中“Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards and care packages.”（法瑞尔自己支付所有费用：礼品卡和爱心包裹。）可知，法瑞尔是关心他人的和慷慨的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合文中的细节“For her 47th, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization devoted to doing good deeds. Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched over 100 strangers, some found online, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shared her favorite creative gift ideas online for others to use.”（47岁那年，她成立了Love with Skin On组织，致力于做好事。这些年来，法瑞尔已经接触了100多个陌生人，其中一些人是在网上找到的，另一些人是在她孙辈的帮助下找到的。在另一种捐赠行为中，她在网上分享了自己最喜欢的创意礼物，供他人使用。）可知，本问介绍了慷慨大方、乐于助人的Ferrell的事迹，由此推知，A项“To give is better than to receive(给予胜于接受)”正是文章要传达的意思。故选A项。 C A team of biologists (生物学家) recently studied wildlife in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they made a surprising discovery: a Mindo harlequin toad (明多斑足蟾). The creature hadn’t been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn’t believe their eyes. “It took our brains a while to believe it was a Mindo harlequin toad,” says Melissa Costales, a conservation biologist from University of New Brunswick. The Mindo harlequin is the latest harlequin toad species “to come back from the dead,” says Costales. Since 2003, eight others have been found, three of them in Ecuador. Until recently, 13 of the 25 species of harlequin toads in Ecuador had gone unseen since the 1980s or early 1990s. Scientists thought most of them had been killed by a disease called chytrid (壶菌). This illness is especially harmful to the harlequin toad. Costales says the Mindo harlequin toad may have developed a resistance (抵抗力) to the disease. That would explain the toad’s reappearance. And it could spell good news for other harlequins. Since discovering the first one, Costales’s team has found five more. They were all tested for chytrid. None had the disease. But that doesn’t mean the survival of the species is guaranteed (保证), Costales says. The harlequin toad is still endangered. Costales is developing a conservation plan with a zoology museum in Ecuador. She wants to make sure the Mindo harlequin toad doesn’t fall back into extinction. “Each rediscovery gives us a second chance to develop better conservation plans,” she says. “Not every day do we have the chance to rediscover a species that we believed to be extinct.” 8. Why were the scientists surprised at finding the Mindo harlequin toad? A. It could live for 30 years. B. It had been thought to be extinct. C. It was a foreign species in Ecuador. D. It lived together with other species. 9. What does Costales say about the Mindo harlequin toad? A. It is huge in number. B. It might disappear soon. C. It can spread diseases quickly. D. It may have survived chytrid. 10. What does Costales plan to do? A. Treat harlequin toads for chytrid. B. Discover more endangered species. C. Save the Mindo harlequin toad from extinction. D. Take harlequin toads back to the zoology museum. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Lost and Found B. Back to the Wild C. Hope for Animals D. The Known and the Unknown 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要生物学家在厄瓜多尔北部的森林里科研的时候发现了被认为已灭绝的明多斑足蟾。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A team of biologists (生物学家) recently studied wildlife in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they made a surprising discovery: a Mindo harlequin toad (明多斑足蟾). The creature hadn’t been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn’t believe their eyes. (一个生物学家小组最近研究了厄瓜多尔北部森林中的野生动物。在此过程中，他们有了一个惊人的发现：一只明多斑足蟾。这种生物已经30年没有人看到它活着了。科学家们简直不敢相信他们的眼睛。)”可知，科学家们在厄瓜多尔北部森林中有了惊人且难以置信的发现——一只明多斑足蟾，这种生物已经30年没有人看到它活着了；结合第二段中的“The Mindo harlequin is the latest harlequin toad species “to come back from the dead,” says Costales. (Mindo harlequin是最新一种‘死而复生’的五彩蟾蜍，Costales说。)”可知，已经30年没有人看到过活的明多斑足蟾，人们一直以为这个物种已经灭绝，因此当生物学家发现一只明多斑足蟾时他们非常惊讶，难以相信；由此可知，科学家们对发现明多斑足蟾感到惊讶是因为它之前被认为已经灭绝。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Until recently, 13 of the 25 species of harlequin toads in Ecuador had gone unseen since the 1980s or early 1990s. Scientists thought most of them had been killed by a disease called chytrid (壶菌). This illness is especially harmful to the harlequin toad.(直到最近，厄瓜多尔25种五彩蟾蜍中有13种自20世纪80年代或90年代初以来一直未被发现。科学家们认为它们中的大多数是死于一种叫做壶菌的疾病。这种疾病对五彩蟾蜍尤其有害。)”可知，科学家们认为大多数的五彩蟾蜍是死于一种叫chytrid的疾病；由第四段“Costales says the Mindo harlequin toad may have developed a resistance (抵抗力) to the disease. That would explain the toad’s reappearance. And it could spell good news for other harlequins. (Costales说，这只明多斑足蟾可能已经对这种疾病产生了抵抗力。这就解释了这只蟾蜍的重现。这对其他五彩蟾蜍来说可能是个好消息。)”可知，Costales认为这只明多斑足蟾可能已经对壶菌病产生了抵抗力；由此可推断，Costales认为明多斑足蟾可能对会导致它们死亡的壶菌产生了抗体，这只明多斑足蟾在壶菌病中幸存下来。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Costales is developing a conservation plan with a zoology museum in Ecuador. She wants to make sure the Mindo harlequin toad doesn’t fall back into extinction. (Costales正在与厄瓜多尔的一家动物学博物馆制定一项保护计划。她想确保明多斑足蟾不会再次灭绝。)”可知，Costales正在制定保护计划，以确保明多斑足蟾不会再次灭绝。因此，Costales计划拯救明多斑足蟾使它不会灭绝。故选C。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A team of biologists (生物学家) recently studied wildlife in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they made a surprising discovery: a Mindo harlequin toad (明多斑足蟾). The creature hadn’t been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn’t believe their eyes. “It took our brains a while to believe it was a Mindo harlequin toad,” says Melissa Costales, a conservation biologist from University of New Brunswick.(一个生物学家小组最近研究了厄瓜多尔北部森林中的野生动物。在此过程中，他们有了一个惊人的发现：一只明多斑足蟾。这种生物已经30年没有人看到它活着了。科学家们简直不敢相信他们的眼睛。‘我们的大脑花了一段时间才相信这是一只明多丑角蟾蜍，’新不伦瑞克大学的保护生物学家Melissa Costales说。)”讲述了科学家发现了被认为已灭绝的明多斑足蟾，下文讲述了其他被发现的五彩蟾蜍以及它们能够活下来的原因；由此可知，文章主要讲述发现了被认为已灭绝的明多斑足蟾；由此可知，A选项“Lost and Found(失而复得)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选A。 D Eliana Yi dreamed of pursuing (追求) piano performance in college, never mind that her fingers could not reach the length of an octave (八度音阶). Unable to fully play many works by musicians, including Beethoven and Brahms, she tried anyway - and in her determination to spend hours practicing one Chopin composition, she wound up injuring herself. The efforts of Southemn Methodist University (SMU) keyboard studies chair Carol Leone are changing all that: Twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U.S. to make smaller keyboards part of its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors. Leone is familiar with such challenges. She loved classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span (跨度). A few years after joining SMU in 1996, the pianist read an article in Piano and Keyboard magazine about smaller keyboards. As Leone would later write, the discovery would completely change her life. In 2000, she received money to fit a smaller keyboard to a piano, and the benefits were clear. She said it gave those with smaller spans the ability to play classical compositions. Smaller keyboards have given many new confidence. The idea of smaller keyboards first met resistance (抵制) from some traditionalists. Leone mentioned a professor having to study composition at a music school, where she was pursuing performance, because her hand span wasn’t wide enough. Leone also said that when she raised the subject of small keyboards with one professor, he told her there were already too many pianists anyway. Though such resistance is gradually disappearing, “there are some very traditional people who believe there should be one standard,” Leone said. “They’re people who think of piano as a competitive thing-like it’s a sports tool. But this is art; it’s not a sport. It’s about making as much beautiful art as possible, and we should allow everybody to do that.” 12. What was Eliana Yi’s problem when playing the piano? A. Her fingers’ reach was too small. B. An injury limited her performance. C. She disliked working with others. D. The works she played were difficult. 13. What did Carol Leone think changed her life? A. The money from her school. B. The course she took in her school. C. Her family’s encouragement. D. The discovery of smaller keyboards. 14. What did Carol Leone do in 2000? A. She had a piano changed. B. She graduated from college. C. She started to work in SMU. D. She took part in a competition. 15. What can we infer from Carol Leone’s words in the last paragraph? A. Piano is as competitive as sport. B. Piano doesn’t require great talent. C. Smaller keyboards have not been fully accepted yet. D. Smaller keyboards are more popular among young people. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了钢琴演奏者Eliana Yi因手小而面临挑战，以及Carol Leone通过推动使用小型键盘帮助更多人实现音乐梦想的故事。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Eliana Yi dreamed of pursuing (追求) piano performance in college, never mind that her fingers could not reach the length of an octave (八度音阶).(Eliana Yi梦想在大学里追求钢琴演奏，尽管她的手指够不到八度音阶的长度)”可知，Eliana Yi弹钢琴时的问题是她的手指跨度太小。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A few years after joining SMU in 1996, the pianist read an article in Piano and Keyboard magazine about smaller keyboards. As Leone would later write, the discovery would completely change her life.(1996年加入南方卫理公会大学几年后，这位钢琴家在《钢琴与键盘》杂志上读到一篇关于小键盘的文章。正如Leone后来所写的那样，这一发现将彻底改变她的生活)”可知，Carol Leone认为是小键盘的发现改变了她的生活。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“In 2000, she received money to fit a smaller keyboard to a piano, and the benefits were clear.(2000年，她收到了一笔钱，用来给钢琴安装一个小键盘，效果很明显)”可知，Carol Leone在2000年给钢琴换了一个小键盘。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Though such resistance is gradually disappearing, “there are some very traditional people who believe there should be one standard,” Leone said.(尽管这种抵制正在逐渐消失，但“有一些非常传统的人认为应该有一个标准”Leone说)”可推知，小键盘还没有被完全接受。故选C。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 3 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowing that parents can make a difference for their children by limiting screen use, what can you do?

Guadalupe Mountains National Park The most visually striking point here is El Capitan. The massive cliff (悬崖), 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building, towers over the rest of the park, which offers you a perfect spot for taking impressive pictures. You can also wander the Salt Basin Dunes, 2,000 acres of shockingly white sands. If you're taking very long hikes, bring plenty of water and some protein-rich snacks. Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument The Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument preserves more than 87,500 acres of wild rivers and thick forests. In addition to hiking and camping, Katahdin is a great spot for hunting and fishing. Bring some hiking boots and perhaps trekking poles (登山杖)to cross these rocky forest trails. The park has a day use fee of $5, and the first-come, first-serve campsites cost $8 per night. North Cascades National Park Though the snowy peaks of the North Cascades are dangerous in the winter, it turns into a thick and green park in the warmer months, filled with beautiful mountain valleys and clear lakes. You can take a guided nature hike or go fishing. Winter driving conditions in the North Cascades can be dangerous, due to water, frost, snow, or ice on the roads. Organ Mountains.—Desert Peaks National Monument This is not a national park，but is a national monument. It is home to several rare species of plants and animals，and lava (炫岩)flow. There are excellent chances for hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and nature photography, as well as overnight hiking. You can also go primitive camping anywhere in the monument for free. It's highly recommended that you should bring plenty of water and sunscreen, and know your fitness level ahead of time. 1. What may attract a photographer most to go to the first park? A. The steep cliff. B. The low ticket price. C. The towers in the park. D. The particularly white sands. 2 How much should one pay for camping in the second park for 2 days and 1 night? A. $15. B. $18. C. $21. D. $24. 3. Camping in the fourth park, _____________. A. you are only allowed to camp in daytime B. you can only stay one night there for free C. you can feed rare animals D. you should be well-prepared B Ferrell got the standard well wishes on the website on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One message was from a family in California who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was heartbroken. Could Ferrell help? That message was exactly what Ferrell was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social service worker had put out a call on her website. She wanted to perform 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month! and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the California family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near” carved on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can listen to it whenever he wants. This is not the first time that Ferrell has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization devoted to doing good deeds. Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched over 100 strangers, some found online, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shared her favorite creative gift ideas online for others to use. Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards and care packages. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like “YESSS!” It’s Ferrell’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to. 4. Why did Ferrell send the California family a wind chime? A. To bring a message to the family. B. To ask for the needed information. C. To comfort the child who lost his brother. D. To help the child lean about a wind chime. 5 What do we know about Ferrell? A. She began to give gifts at 53. B. She did 53 acts of kindness in total. C. She helped people in trouble in different ways. D. She set up an organization to celebrate her birthday. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Ferrell? A. Gifted and modest. B. Caring and generous. C. Humorous and thoughtful. D. Determined and confident. 7. what can we learn from the text? A. To give is better than to receive. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. C A team of biologists (生物学家) recently studied wildlife in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they made a surprising discovery: a Mindo harlequin toad (明多斑足蟾). The creature hadn’t been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn’t believe their eyes. “It took our brains a while to believe it was a Mindo harlequin toad,” says Melissa Costales, a conservation biologist from University of New Brunswick. The Mindo harlequin is the latest harlequin toad species “to come back from the dead,” says Costales. Since 2003, eight others have been found, three of them in Ecuador. Until recently, 13 of the 25 species of harlequin toads in Ecuador had gone unseen since the 1980s or early 1990s. Scientists thought most of them had been killed by a disease called chytrid (壶菌). This illness is especially harmful to the harlequin toad. Costales says the Mindo harlequin toad may have developed a resistance (抵抗力) to the disease. That would explain the toad’s reappearance. And it could spell good news for other harlequins. Since discovering the first one, Costales’s team has found five more. They were all tested for chytrid. None had the disease. But that doesn’t mean the survival of the species is guaranteed (保证), Costales says. The harlequin toad is still endangered. Costales is developing a conservation plan with a zoology museum in Ecuador. She wants to make sure the Mindo harlequin toad doesn’t fall back into extinction. “Each rediscovery gives us a second chance to develop better conservation plans,” she says. “Not every day do we have the chance to rediscover a species that we believed to be extinct.” 8. Why were the scientists surprised at finding the Mindo harlequin toad? A. It could live for 30 years. B. It had been thought to be extinct. C. It was a foreign species in Ecuador. D. It lived together with other species. 9. What does Costales say about the Mindo harlequin toad? A. It is huge in number. B. It might disappear soon. C. It can spread diseases quickly. D. It may have survived chytrid. 10. What does Costales plan to do? A. Treat harlequin toads for chytrid. B. Discover more endangered species. C. Save the Mindo harlequin toad from extinction. D. Take harlequin toads back to the zoology museum. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Lost and Found B. Back to the Wild C. Hope for Animals D. The Known and the Unknown D Eliana Yi dreamed of pursuing (追求) piano performance in college, never mind that her fingers could not reach the length of an octave (八度音阶). Unable to fully play many works by musicians, including Beethoven and Brahms, she tried anyway - and in her determination to spend hours practicing one Chopin composition, she wound up injuring herself. The efforts of Southemn Methodist University (SMU) keyboard studies chair Carol Leone are changing all that: Twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U.S. to make smaller keyboards part of its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors. Leone is familiar with such challenges. She loved classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span (跨度). A few years after joining SMU in 1996, the pianist read an article in Piano and Keyboard magazine about smaller keyboards. As Leone would later write, the discovery would completely change her life. In 2000, she received money to fit a smaller keyboard to a piano, and the benefits were clear. She said it gave those with smaller spans the ability to play classical compositions. Smaller keyboards have given many new confidence. The idea of smaller keyboards first met resistance (抵制) from some traditionalists. Leone mentioned a professor having to study composition at a music school, where she was pursuing performance, because her hand span wasn’t wide enough. Leone also said that when she raised the subject of small keyboards with one professor he told her there were already too many pianists anyway.
