Question

Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students begin at an earlier age. Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him in as a student.

Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions (指導). But he just did not have any inborn ability.

I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never came in. Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.

I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏會) of my students, Robby came，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part. I agreed but I made him perform last in the program, so I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.

I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering.

I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. “I’ve never heard you play like that, Robby!  How’d you do it?”

“Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could.”  That night, Robby was the teacher and I was the student. He taught me so many important things about life.

A．He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.

B．His mother was too sick to send him to the piano lessons.

B．The writer thought that Robby had given up the piano lesson.

C．The writer taught Robby carefully although he hadn’t a gift for music.

D．No one else could play the piece of Mozart’s well.

3. From the underline sentenced we can infer that __________.

A．the writer looked down upon Robby and disliked him

B．the writer thought Robby a bad advertisement for his teaching

C．with Robby present, the other children couldn’t play well

D．the writer couldn’t teach so many students at a time

2.D

4.A

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述的是我的一個學生學習鋼琴的天賦并不好，但是為了讓去世的母親聽見他的鋼琴聲，他演奏出了非常美妙的音樂。告訴我們真愛的力量是多么的巨大。

1.B 推理題。根據文章第三段和最后一段“Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? 和 Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.可知他沒有來練習鋼琴是因為媽媽生病了要照顧。故B正確。

2.D 細節題。根據文章倒數第三段Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age.可知我只是沒有聽見他這個年齡的人彈得如此之好，D項的內容與之不相符。

3.B 推理題。根據本句I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career.可知他不來我很高興，因為他的表現不好，可能會影響我的教學聲譽。故B項內容正確。

4.A 推理題。根據文章最后一段Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could.”  That night, Robby was the teacher and I was the student. He taught me so many important things about life.可知這個男孩是用他對媽媽的真愛在演奏，所以才會有如此好的表現。故A正確。
