Eddie is a handicapped child. He was functionally(官能地)blind and deaf in one ear.

   In spite of his inborn disability, Eddie seems to have a good sense of music. His mother knows that and bought him a toy piano for Christmas.

   At church that day, Eddie listened silently while the rest of the family sang along with the music. As soon as he returned home, be flung himself at the little piano. He seemed angry at it as he produced only noise, so his mother put it in the closet. Two weeks later, returning from a church service once more, Eddie uttered his first words, “Mommy, piano, piano.” This time he started to play every hymn(圣歌)he had heard in church. All his family members looked at each other in surprise. “Eddie plays the piano,” they say.

Answer 1

答案：1B2B3C4D5B
解析：

1、此題考查詞義猜測。根據 “handicapped”所處的位置及其上下文內容來看，其意應為“有殘疾的”。 2、His mother knows that and bought him a toy piano for Christmas. 根據這句可知，本題選B。 3、此題考查細節事實。Eddie 的眼睛和一只耳朵有殘疾，在家人唱贊美詩時，他只能靜靜地聽，只能用聽力來感知。 4、此題考查細節事實。Eddie喜歡音樂，但苦于自身的缺陷，他不能像正常人一樣彈琴；在經過一番思想斗爭（即第二次從教常回來）后，他終于能夠正視自己，開始學彈鋼琴。 5、此題考查細節推理。Eddie自身在音樂方面具有天賦，能用自己的方式來感知、學習音樂，老師的話表明他日后更能成功。
