【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知,Steve是專業(yè)軟件工程師，還是一個(gè)

鋼琴的熱愛者，是家里唯一的音樂家，音樂是他真正熱愛的東西，盡管沒有在家以外

的地方彈奏過鋼琴。根據(jù)第三段Melissa,hisdaughter,feltitmorethanworthwhile

tosavehismusic.可知他的女兒Melissa覺得保存他的音樂很有價(jià)值，故選Co

A.refusedtomakeacommentonit

B.wasdeeplyimpressedbyhismusic

D.regrettedofferinghelptoherfriend

［解析］選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第十段“Itwasbeautiful,Naomisaidafterlistening

totherecording.4"Themusicwasworthsaving.“可知，聽了錄音之后Naomi說很美，

值得保存，故可以得出Naomi對Steve的音樂印象深刻，故選B。

以及第十三段SteveandNaomispokeinmusicalcode:lines,beats,intervals,moving

fromtheroottoendasonginanewkey.Steveheardit.Allofit.Hejustcouldn'tplayit.

可知,Steve會笨拙地把手指放在鋼琴上，然后Naomi把手指放在他放的地方，并且

Steve努力解釋腦海里的內(nèi)容，所有的這些，都是Naomi在彈奏，而Steve在聽，故可

知這個(gè)錄制過程很慢。根據(jù)第十六段Naomimanagedtofigureout16ofSteve's

favorite,andmostpersonal,songs.可知作品很多。故選A。

68.BeforeStevefinished"MelancholyFlower,"hiswifeJoni.

A.thoughtthemusictalentofStevewasexhausted

B.didn'texpectthedamagethediseasebroughtabout

C.didn'tfullyrealizethevalueofherhusband'smusic

D.broughtherhusband'smusiccareertoperfection

【解析】選C。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第十六段Jonithoughtthatwouldbetheend.Butit

wasn't.以及后文Steve取得的成就可知在完成MelancholyFlower之前，他的妻子還

沒完全意識到丈夫的音樂的真正價(jià)值，故選Co

A.Hefeltconcernedabouthisillness.

B.Hesensedaresponsibilityformusic.

C.Heregainedhisfaithinmusic.

7O.Whatcanbeasuitabletitleforthepassage?

A.TheKindnessofFriends

B.ThePowerofMusic

C.TheMakingofaMusician

D.TheValueofDetermination

【解析】選B。主旨大意題。本文主要講述一個(gè)鋼琴師幫助一個(gè)患老年癡呆癥的

人錄制音樂的故事,其錄制過程比較艱苦，但是錄制的音樂很成功，也讓老人對音樂

充滿了信心。B項(xiàng)“音樂的力量”概括了全文內(nèi)容,是最佳標(biāo)題。故選B。

【難句剖析】Stevemovedtothepianoandsatatthebench,handstremblingashe

gentlyplacedhisfingersonthekeys.

分析:該句子中moved,sat為并列謂語;as引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句;handstrembling為獨(dú)

立主格結(jié)構(gòu)做伴隨狀語。

翻譯:史蒂夫走到鋼琴前，坐在長凳上，雙手顫抖，手指輕輕地放在琴鍵上。
