A. He has a gift for writing music. B. He can write down the note he hears. C. He is a top student at the law school. D. He can play the musical piece he hears.,26. What is special about Samuel Osmond?,D 细节理解题。由第一段中的However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them可知选D。正确选项是该句的缩写。顺便提醒，有however或but的地方往往是出题的地方，可要注意哟。,A. Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents. B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician. C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability. D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.,27. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?,B 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句 “Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music”可知，Samuel按父母的意愿想做律师，按音乐教师的建议又学音乐。可见，原计划是做律师而不是音乐家的，故选B。选项A(学法律是违背父母意愿意)与事实相反；选项C与“They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesnt even realize that what he can do is special.”不符；选项D错对各半，易误选，因学法律是父母的意愿而非老师的建议。,A. received a good early education in music B. played the guitar and the piano perfectly C. could play the piano without reading music D. could play the guitar better than his father,28.

The Story of a Musical Talent C. The Importance of Early Education D. The Relationship between Memory and Music,30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?,B 主旨大意题。也属主旨要义题。第一段第二句however后就是全文的主题句，再结合全文，都是说学法律的Samuel有音乐天才，故选B。,A. She knew the car drivers well. B. She wanted to show kindness. C. She hoped to please others. D. She had seven tickets.,31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?,B 推理判断题。第一段说Natalie Smith 为其后面的六辆车交费，第二段交待了其中的原因, 是她看到的 “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty”这句话给了她深刻印象，由此推断，她是受这句话的启发，她是在Practice random kindness，即show kindness，故选B。,32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she _. A. thought it was beautifully written B. wanted to know what it really meant C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom,A 细节理解题。由第三段第三句“I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why shed taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters可知，选A。选项B文中无信息支持，无中生有；选项C“决定将其写在仓库墙上”与文中“在离家很远的一个仓库墙上看到这句话”意义不同，张冠李戴；虽然文中有她老公将其写在教室的墙上，但并不是她要他写的，更不是她抄写这句话的目的，与事实不符。,A. Judy Foreman. B. Natalie Smith. C. Alice Johnson. D. Anne Herbert.,33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?,D 细节理解题。本题是问“谁想出这句话来的”，由第四段中的 “It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper”可知，是Anne Herbert想出这句话来的。可用排除法，Natalie Smith是在朋友的冰箱上看到的，Judy Foreman是在仓库的墙上抄下来的，Alice Johnson是从她女儿那得知的，她女儿是因为Judy Foreman的老公将此句写在教室的墙上而得知的，故不是这三个人想出来的。,34.

Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves. D. Kindness and violence can shape ones character.,C 推断句子意义。推断词、短语或句子意 思，需结合上下文去理解。本段中先是Anne Herbert解释她想出的那句话的意思：你认为 (生活中或世界上)应该多一些存在的事，那么 你就随意去做这样的事。接着说她想象中的这类事包括“给破旧教室粉墙”“在穷人区的厨房 里留下热饭”等善举。那么该段结尾的话“善举和暴力一样可以在它们自己的基础上建立起来”，其真正的含义是什么呢？再看看接下来 这一段，特别是第一句“随意的善举是可以传 播或蔓延的”，可知“善举同暴力一样是可以自我繁衍的”，故选C。,A.

Neither did my family(总之，我并没有轻易决定申请灯塔计划，我的家人也一样没有轻易决定此事)和第三段首句Eventually, however, I won the support of my family(然而，最后我赢得了家人的赞同)可以推断出，申请灯塔计划，是作者与家人一起讨论商量决定的。,38.
