　　1824年5月7日，一群音乐爱好者涌入维也纳的一座剧院，聆听大作曲家路德维希·凡·贝多芬《第九交响曲》的首演。听众很快意识到他们所听绝非凡品，演出结束的那一刻，全场爆发出热情的欢呼。当时贝多芬已近全聋，直到一位领唱扶他转过身来，面向观众，他才发觉反响之热烈。他看见眼前的人山人海全部起立，有的鼓掌，有的挥舞帽子和手帕，表达着对这部杰作的赞赏。 贝多芬非凡的一生留下了极为丰厚的作品，《第九交响曲》是他最后一部大型作品。贝多芬幼年即展露才华，在父亲管教下夜以继日地学习音乐。没过多久，他的钢琴演奏已受人赏识。十多岁的时候，他已经是有名的杰出少年音乐家了。不少音乐领域的重要人物，包括才华卓越的莫扎特，都纷纷对他不可限量的前程给出预言。然而，厄运突至，不到三十岁，贝多芬就开始经受对音乐家来说至为残酷的挫折：他的听觉开始衰退了。 听觉下降令贝多芬深受打击。他痛苦不堪，起初只想尽量隐瞒。他在给弟弟的信中说：“……这样一种在我身上本应比别人更加完美的感官，这样一种我曾经有绝顶禀赋的感官，如今怎能让我承认它有了缺陷……”然而，即使在那些最晦暗的时刻，贝多芬都不曾放弃希望。虽然听不清了，但他决心想办法让生活继续充满音乐。他尝试各种各样的助听设备，让自己听到更多的声音。在钢琴上作曲时，他将铅笔的一端含在嘴里，另一端顶住钢琴，这样就能感受到音符。作曲还可以继续，但公开演出对于他而言越来越艰难了。1824年在维也纳指挥这场《第九交响曲》，是他十多年来第一次登台。 从此，贝多芬《第九交响曲》成为古典音乐史上最著名和最受珍视的作品之一。交响曲第一章先是在平静中开始，随后，乐队全体猛然奏出一个强烈的主题。你顿时会感到贯穿整部作品的那种刚毅——那种深受听障之苦的贝多芬所熟知的品质。接下来的两个乐章，充满了绝望的低声部和激越的高声部，或许分别反映了作曲家的痛苦和与之抗争的坚强意志。即使技术难度很高的段落，音乐也都从容流过，展现了他作为作曲家的才华。最后，在第四乐章中，他将一系列形态各异的变奏合为一阙欢乐的合唱。 《第九交响曲》是贝多芬最后一部伟大的作品，也是他的人生绝唱——距这场维也纳音乐会举办未满三年，他就去世了，终年56岁。他惊人的艺术成就，以及在至暗岁月里都不曾动摇的顽强毅力，使他被公认为有史以来最卓越的音乐家之一。 返回 语篇理解 返回 一、整体理解 Match the main idea with each part. 答案：BCA Part 1 (Para.1) A．Beethoven is

his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I'm not a trained musician，but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” 　　Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years.His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves.He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. 　　“A lot of skills are needed for the job.You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained. 　　Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns，including back turns for repeat passages.Silent onstage communication is key，and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. 　　But like all performances，there are moments when things go wrong.“I was turning the page to get ready for the next page，but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand，” Mr Titterton said，“Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.” 　　Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists，although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.　“My husband is the worst page turner，” she laughed.“He's interested in the music，feeling every note，and I have to say：‘Turn，turn！’ Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Robert Titterton是为音乐家在演奏时翻乐谱的人，虽然这个角色不是很起眼，但是它需要音乐相关的背景知识和相当多的训练。 1．What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? A．Read music. B．Play the piano. C．Sing songs. D．Fix the instruments. √ 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I'm not a trained musician，but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”可知，Titterton作为翻乐谱的人需要能够识谱，故选A项。 2．Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage? A．Boring. B．Well-paid. C．Demanding. D．Dangerous. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A lot of skills are needed for the job.”及第四段中“Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.”可知，作为翻乐谱的人这项工作既需要很多技能又需要大量的练习。因此可推断出，这项工作要求比较高，故选C项。 √ 3．What does Titterton need to practise? A．Counting the pages. B．Recognizing the “nodding”． C．Catching falling objects. D．Performing in his own style. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Silent onstage communication is key，and each pianist has their own style of ‘nodding’ to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.”可推断出，Titterton 需要练习的是识别钢琴家的点头，故选B项。 √ 4．Why is Ms Raspopova's husband “the worse page turner”？ A．He has very poor eyesight. B．He ignores the audience. C．He has no interest in music. D．He forgets to do his job. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Ms Raspopova评价自己的丈夫的话“He's interested in the music，feeling every note，and I have to say：‘Turn，turn！’ ”可知，Ms Raspopova的丈夫经常沉浸在音乐中，Ms Raspopova还得不停地提醒他“翻页，翻页”。由此可推断出，Ms Raspopova说自己的丈夫是一名糟糕的翻乐谱的人是因为他常常忘记自己翻乐谱这件事，故选D项。 √ Ⅱ.完形填空(每小题1分，共15分) 　　It was a busy morning，about 8：30，when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital.I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment at 9：30. 　　The nurse had him take a seat in the waiting area， 1 him it would be at least 40 minutes 2 someone would be able to see him.I saw him 3 his watch and decided，since I was not busy—my patient didn't 4 at the appointed hour，I would examine his wound.While taking care of his wound，I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment. 　　The gentleman said no and told me that he 5 to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his 6 .He told me that she had been there for a while and that she had a special disease.I asked if she would be 7 if he was a bit late.He replied that she 8 knew who he was and that she had not been able to 9 him for five years now.I was 10 ，and asked him，“And you still go every morning，even though she doesn't know who you are？” 　　He smiled and said，“She doesn't know me，but I know who she is.” I had to hold back 11 as he left. 　　Now I 12 that in marriages，true love is 13 of all that is.The happiest people don't 14 have the best of everything; they just 15 the best of everything they have.Life isn't about how to live through the storm，but how to dance in the rain. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个八十多岁的老人在妻子患有老年痴呆症已经认不出自己的情况下，仍不离不弃，数年如一日地陪伴在她身边。他们的故事告诉我们在婚姻中，真爱就是接受一切，包括所有的不幸和疾病，我们要利用拥有的一切幸福地生活。 1．A．telling B．promising C．persuading D．understanding 2．A．if B．since C．before D．after 护士让他在候诊区等着，告诉(telling)他至少要40分钟才能有医生给他看病。 √ √ 根据空后的someone would be able to see him可知，至少要等40分钟才能有医生给他看病。“It be＋一段时间＋before从句”意为“要过多长时间才……”。 3．A．taking off B．winding C．fixing D．looking at 4．A．show off B．turn up C．come on D．go away 句意：我看见他看了看表，就决定，既然我不忙——我的病人没有在约定的时间来看病，我先检查一下他的伤口。根据空后his watch及常识可知，病人等着看病时心情通常是焦急的，故他在看(looking at)表。 √ √ 根据空前的I was not busy可知，作者不忙，因为病人没有在约定的时间来看病，没有出现(turn up)。 5．A．agreed B．forgot C．needed D．happened 6．A．daughter B．mother C．wife D．sister 根据空后go to the nursing home及空后And you still go every morning可知，他告诉我他需要(needed)去养老院。 √ √ 根据下文中的marriages及true love可知，这是一个关于婚姻和真爱的故事，因此此处指他的妻子(wife)。 7．A．excited B．hungry C．doubtful D．worried 8．A．so far B．already C．neither D．no longer 根据语境和常识可知，去看家人，如果迟到了，家人会担心(worried)。 √ √ 根据空后的And you still go every morning，even though she doesn't know who you are？可知，他的妻子不再(no longer)记得他是自己的丈夫了。 9．A．believe B．answer C．recognize D．expect 10．A．moved B．surprised C．disappointed D．satisfied √ √ 根据空后的And you still go every morning，even though she doesn't know who you are？可知，他的妻子已经有五年不能认出(recognize)他是谁了。 根据空后的问句可知，他的话让我感到很惊讶(surprised)。 11．A．tears B．curiosity C．words D．judgment 12．A．suggest B．realize C．hope D．prove √ √ 根据空前hold back可知，他和妻子的故事让我深受感动，我强忍住噙在眼里的泪水(tears)。 空后的内容是我从这个故事中认识到(realize)的感悟。 13．A．acceptance B．agreement C．expression D．exhibition 14．A．completely B．necessarily C．naturally D．frequently √ √ 上文这个老人的故事证明了真爱就是接受(acceptance)一切，包括不幸和疾病，即使妻子已经认不出自己了，他还是不离不弃，数年如一日地陪伴在她身边。 根据空前don't及空后have the best of everything可知，最幸福的人不一定要拥有最好的一切。not necessarily意为“不一定”。 15．A．learn B．try C．favor D．make √ 空前说幸福的人不一定拥有最好的一切，因此本空是说他们充分利用他们所拥有的一切幸福地生活。make the best of意为“充分利用”。 Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分，共15分) 　　Out of a home bakery(烘焙)in Bowie，Maryland，a young businessman gives one cupcake away to someone in need，for each one he sells.Behind the operation is 14-year-old Michael Platt.He runs a company 1. model is based on another company of charity. 　　Platt recently got 2. order for a few dozen cupcakes，and as promised，he 3.
