题目

World­famous violinist Itzhak Perlman was stricken with polio as a child.As a result，he wears braces on both legs and walks with the aid of crutches.At_concerts，getting_on_stage_is_no_small_achievement_for_him. He slowly crosses the stage until he reaches his chair.He lays his crutches on the floor，slowly undoes the clasps (扣环) on his legs，puts one foot backward and extends the other one forward.Then he bends down and picks up the violin，puts it under his chin (下巴)，nods to the conductor，and starts to play. One fall evening in 1995，while performing at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City，Perlman had to deal with one additional trouble.Jack Reimer，a famous reporter with the Houston Chronicle，described the scene.“Just as he finished the first few bars，one of the strings on his violin broke.You could hear   the sound go off like gunfire across the room.There was no mistaking what that   sound meant.” There was no mistaking what he had to do.People who were there said，“We   figured he would have to get up...to either find another violin or find another string   for this one.” But he didn’t.Instead he waited a moment，closed his eyes，and then signaled   the conductor to begin again.The band and he played from where he had left off.He  played with enthusiasm and power. Of course，it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings.But   that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.You could see him modulate (调音)，change，recompose the piece in his head.At one point，it sounded like he was tuning   the strings to get new sounds they had never made before. 1．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A．It’s a piece of cake for Perlman to perform on the stage. B．It’s not easy for Perlman to get on the stage. C．Perlman has achieved great success on the stage. D．Perlman has small achievements on the stage. 2.How did the string break? A．It only broke by accident. B．Perlman broke the string because he was too excited. C．A gunfire from somewhere in the room broke it. D．It was broken by the few bars. 3.After the string broke the audience thought that Perlman would________. A．get angry at his performance B．give up the performance C．do something about the violin D．continue performing with the three­string violin 4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Perlman________. A．pretended not to know that the string was broken B．thought nothing was impossible C．was a very proud man D．showed his self­confidence in time of trouble 5.What is the best title for the passage? A．A World­famous Disabled Artist B．An Unexpected Accident C．The Performance Went on  D．A Three­string Violin and Its Owner 答案：语篇解读　本文是一篇人物故事，讲述了著名残疾人演奏家Perlman演出过程中发生的意外和他的应对措施。 1．解析：　句意理解题。画线句中的achievement指的是Perlman能够做到的事情。下文中描述他上台的细节，说明对于一个行动不便的残疾人来说，能够自己走上舞台，已经是很了不起的事情了，对他自己已经是一个不小的成就了。 答案：　B  2.解析：　推理判断题。根据文章第二段倒数第一、二句“You could hear   the sound go off like gunfire across the room.There was no mistaking what that   sound meant.”可知，琴弦是弹奏过程中意外断掉的。 答案：　A  3.解析：　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“We figured he would have to get up...to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”可知，观众们揣测他会换另一把琴或者换根弦。 答案：　C  4.解析：　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，他仅仅用三根弦继续完成了他的演奏，可推断他对于自己拉琴的能力很有信心。 答案：　D  5.解析：　标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章的核心不是断弦事件本身，而是断弦后Perlman镇定自信的表现，让人佩服和感动。故选项C最适合做标题。 答案：　C
