通过细节描写推断人物性格
本题考查对人物性格的判断,解题时应着重分析对人物的外貌描写、语言描写、动作描写等内容,从而了解人物的性格特点以及人物的美丑善恶。本文运用了大量的人物描写方法。通过分析对贝多芬指挥D小调第九交响曲肢体动作的描写,如jumped about in front of the orchestra、 waving his arms wildly、 madly turning the pages,可判断出他专注、执着、投入的性格。
答案:1~4 DCDC
(二)阅读表达
1.How did Caroline feel when she said “The one person in the room who didn't hear the symphony — and never would — was the very man who composed it.”?
She felt, among other feelings, very sorry that Beethoven couldn't hear the music he composed.It was such a pity and she might feel it unfair to him.She must have wished Beethoven was not deaf.
2.Do you think Beethoven is a genius?What's your understanding of “genius”?(The answers may vary.)
In my opinion, Beethoven is a genius because he not only had a strong will to fight against difficulties in life, but also he was crazy about music.Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what is impossible for talent is genius.Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.

抓住典型事例,分析人物形象
本文是人物介绍类文章,属于记叙文。此类文章一般通过一件事或几件事表现人物形象的特征,在阅读时注意抓住典型的事例,认真分析人物的外貌、语言、行动和心理等各方面的描写,从而把握人物的性格特征,深刻理解文章的思想内容。如本文通过讲述D小调第九交响曲的创作过程以及这部交响曲首演的故事,反映了贝多芬的执着、投入和不屈的精神。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Inspired by his struggles with deafness, the composer produced some amazing pieces, including nine symphonies, five piano pieces, and an opera! He proceeded with the composition until his death in 1827, writing more than 130 musical works, including his Symphony No.9 in D minor.
赏析:该语段两次使用including,形象地表达了贝多芬的作品之多。
2.Writing the piece had taken several years, and now the final notes had been added to the score.
赏析:本句中使用熟词生义,如note在此意为“音调,音符”,score在此意为“总谱”。该句具体地描写了贝多芬创作的艰辛过程。
3.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.
赏析:本句中作者使用jumped about (跳来跳去)、 waving his arms wildly in the air、 madly turning the pages of his score等词块形象地描述了贝多芬走上舞台指挥自己的管弦乐队的情景,将贝多芬完全沉浸在音乐之中的画面刻画得栩栩如生。
4.“The audience was shocked as well,” she said with a broad smile.
赏析:本句中作者在描述歌手卡罗琳回忆演奏会的时候使用了词块with a broad smile (灿烂地笑着),表达了她的兴奋之情。在读后续写对人物情绪的描写中经常会采用类似的写法。

③Now her eyes shine and her face is filled with a_broad_smile.
现在她目光闪烁,脸上露出了开心的笑容。
(二)赏句式之高
1.Everyone knows that Ludwig van Beethoven is a musical genius but few might know how he created Symphony No.9 in D minor and how its first show went.
赏析:本句通过并列连词but连接that和两个how引导的宾语从句,分别作knows和might know的宾语。通过前后的对比,为后文介绍D小调第九交响曲做铺垫。
2.As he proudly signed his name at the bottom of the page, Beethoven tried to imagine how people would respond when they heard it for the first time.
赏析:本句中as引导时间状语从句,意为“当……的时候”;how引导宾语从句,作tried to imagine 的宾语,其中含有when引导的时间状语从句。高级句式的使用将贝多芬签名时的心理描写得淋漓尽致。
3.After all, what use is a conductor who could not hear his orchestra — even if he is a musical genius?
赏析:本句中who引导定语从句,修饰先行词a conductor;even if 引导让步状语从句。本句表达了后台人们的担心,也为后面的表演成功进行铺垫。
4.But Beethoven continued conducting, his head buried in the score.
赏析:本句中 his head buried in the score为独立主格结构,生动形象地描写了贝多芬指挥乐队演奏时的投入状态。
5.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.
赏析:本句是强调句型,其结构是“It was not until ...that ...”,强调了not until引导的时间状语从句。该句描写了贝多芬投入地指挥,对演出结束毫不知情。

(三)赏文笔之美(场景描写)
1.One day in February 1824, at his little house in Vienna, Austria, Ludwig van Beethoven sat back in his chair and smiled.
赏析:恬静的小屋,坐在舒适的椅子上,美好的环境带给创作者的往往是敏捷的思维和丰富的想象力。正如贝多芬创作第九交响曲一样,此情此景,恰切适当。
2.As the final, joyous note signalled the end of the symphony, the audience jumped to their feet, clapping, cheering and waving their hats.
赏析:美妙的旋律总会引起听者的共鸣,他们往往会通过不同的方式表达对旋律以及对创作者的赞美和敬佩,正如第九交响曲演奏完后的反响一样。情景交融,意味深长。
